MISS UKRAINE AIRSOFT GUN!

Recently Cisco posted a video talking about this image of "Miss Ukraine" Anastasiia Lenna modeling an airsoft MK18, and the more we looked at it and broke it down, the more we realized that we had pretty much the exact rifle she is holding. That rifle is the Lancer Tactical MK18 LT-31TA-G2-E Hybrid Gen 2 M4 AEG. We found that to be very interesting. Now as awesome as it is seeing Miss Ukraine represent the sport of airsoft, she could use a little bit of a pick me up in the gear and accessories department. After a bit of brainstorming and some research we came up with a top tier list of recommendations that we feel could maximize her kit and bring it to the next level.

For the rifle itself we thought we might as well go with our favorite version of this rifle which is the Lancer Tactical Proline ETU MK18 Full Metal Airsoft AEG Rifle (Bronze/Black). We think this would be a great performer and looks great. With the new Delta Adjustable Stock, you get a more minimal profile while maintaining all the functionality and comfort you would need. We also feel like for attachments, going with a stubby grip like the PTS EPF2 Vertical Fore Grip for some added comfort and control. For the optic we went with the VISM Micro Red And Blue Dot would be a great addition for target acquisition and a sleek look. We think the AceTech Predator MKIII Tracer Suppressor Unit w/ Blaster M Inside would be a great addition for some added realism. The Tac 9 Industries PEQ-15 LA5 L.E.D. White Light + Green Laser w/IR Lens is a must for easy access to light and laser for target identification and close-range point shooting and just perfectly fits the aesthetic. Finally, we would include some Lancer Tactical High Speed Mid Capacity Magazines to finish out the gun build. With all of the attachments installed we feel like it would be at peak performance and comfort and would be great for clearing rooms and reaching out to pick off stragglers while being the absolute perfect level of Mayo.

Now for the really important stuff, THE GEAR.

We think that Miss Ukraine’s mind is in the right place as far as clothing. You can go as heavy or as light as you want. We do recommend that you wear a nice and sturdy pair of boots or hiking shoes to protect your feet and ankles from unsteady terrain. We also recommend a decent pair of pants like the Condor Outdoor Paladin Tactical Pants or if you want something more casual you could go with the Condor Outdoor Cipher Jeans. As for tops we suggest something to keep your arms protected while keeping you cool. The Condor Outdoor Trident Battle Top Long Sleeve meets those criteria perfectly. When it comes to your head something up top that can keep you protected and comfortable like a ball cap or a helmet is highly recommended. We do recommend that you utilize some sort of communications setup, there are tons of options you could go for. Something like the Tac 9 ZTAC AC-254G ZSordin Headset or the Lancer Tactical SWAT Tactical Motorola 2-Pin Version Radio Throat MIC w/ PTT would be a great choice so you can maintain communications with the rest of your squad and team. Now that you have all this equipment, you will need some sort of vest, plate carrier, or chest rig to carry your essential kit to keep you in the fight. You could go with a rock-solid plate carrier like the Condor Outdoor Cyclone RS Plate Carrier, something a little lighter like the Condor Outdoor Phalanx Plate Carrier, or super lightweight like the Lancer Tactical Adaptive Multi-Purpose Slim Chest Rig. All of these are excellent choices to carry magazines and other essential gear.

Once you put together all the gear listed you would have a very flexible, and relatively universal loadout to take on any enemy. All the items listed can be found at airsoftgi.com so that way you too can brainstorm what the best loadout for you would be. Do you agree with our choices here, what would you change, or do differently?
