just an idea, has anyone considered making some skins of private military contractors, such as Paul Bremers security detail, Blackwater contractors, DynCorp, AEGIS, Erinys and others as i think they would be a very interesting addition to the already fantastic skins in ArmA already. If people are planning on making an iraq mod for ArmA then Private Military Contractors are essential. just wondering what you guys think

Hi guys, just wondering what the backpack that the Reconaissance units and the Medics wear, as its a pretty nice backpack, plus, im thinking about getting one IRL. Thanks in advance, Eddie

Personally i dont like them due to their inaccurateness, With the SWAT members what youve basically done is made everything black...if thats a mod then ill get on paint right away. As for the DEA wearing combat trousers, doesnt happen, nor do they wear interceptor body armour. Think you need to redo your research a little.

if you are going to simply modify the character skin itself then in my opinion it would look "pish" what youd need to do is learn how to sculpt instead of modify, good luck :P

mmmmm, not sure really, might have to make a complete different model altogether, give me a couple of hours and ill look into it a little bit more

well, suppose the possiblity is there, will have to look into it further, although a total reskin of the military model would be the easiest, wouldnt take long to do

DynCorp, interesting. i agree with Blackwater being a joke as of fall 2006 they had 9 lawsuits against them and havent met the requirements for their contracts on a number of criteria. The issue stuff is always going to be poor, have you decided on which holster you are intending on buying as i know a fair few places that you can get some comfortable and useable holsters for very little

@ Ironsite PM sent as requested. @ Eddie Gear wise? Well, the items I was issued were rather sub-par in my opinion. As with most the guys in this position, I've purchased a lot of my own gear. I refuse to wear a military issue/style Point Blank fragmentation vest. It retains far too much body heat and restricts movement quite a bit. I wear a FAPC vest with a front and rear ballistic plate. My LBV I purchased which is a RACK vest. It's a nice piece of gear simply because it's configurable to whatever the mission requires. My boots are my old Marine Corps issue ones. Did you have any specific questions? FYI Eddie - Blackwater does not use the military "Little Bird" (H-6 and variants). The operate the civilian MD-500. i agree about the point blank vests, as a PMC yourself i suppose you have alot more freedom with what you want to wear which is going to be a bonus in my opinion, the RACK is a suprising choice, then again, im pretty stereotypical when it comes to PMC, i thought you guys all wore Eagle Plate Carriers and wore Oakley shades gear wise, i wouldnt mind knowing what other items you wear, thigh holster?, serpa, safariland?, headwear?, mich?, IBH?, Protech?, and of course, which clothing do you prefer to wear, Under Armour?, 5.11?, Crye?, having someone like yourself to ask these questions is an honour and im behind what you guys do all the way issue boots are great, i wear a pair of British issue desert boots for hiking and such. as for the little bird, thanks for that, will have to look into making a reskin for that also, which contracting company do you belong to?, if you want you can PM me the answer if you dont want to publically announce it. thanks in advance, Eddie

its procured from militaryphotos.net and i got a friend of mine to upload it onto his photobucket also, those operators look great guys, nice work, hopefully ill be able to make a couple of skins for blackwater aviation guys and the little birds that they use, should be interesting with twin SAWS attached Marine, intrigued by the fact that you are a PMC, would it be possible for you to tell us what kind of gear you wear yourself?

something along the lines of this would be more appropriate for modern iraq

Marcus, those skins look pretty good, but are there any that dont look like fisherman? , only kidding mate, but seriously, id like to see some Blackwater contractors, with 5.11 pants and Eagle plate carriers and the like
