Thread: tactical Halloween costume ideas?

So its that time of year again. Being a student, I'd rather not buy anything new for a costume that I will wear one time. I'm checking out the gear I currently have and am trying to produce ideas. I'm wondering if any of you have any good costume ideas that involve a tactical vest? I was thinking Stallone in "The Expandables." Those magazine pockets work well for tallboys!

Or any other low-cost costume ideas?

Rambo is easy. Maroon headband/scarf. Black tank top, black tactical pants/sweats/boots. Body oil LOL.

Last year I was a whoopy cushion. $30 off Ebay. Easy.

zombie hunter....

Woody Harolson from Zombie Land...Rad

a soldier. Goodwill and salvation army, oh sweet irony, has a ton of these up. Just make sure there's no patches attached to them. Be warned though. This is probably the biggest "holy crap it's last minute and i need a costume..." idea. Be prepared to see others "soldiers"

DO NOT I REPEAT DONOT CARRY A TOY GUN...

Agreed. See this thread for explanation:

Shot for having fake gun.

Go as something that is unlikely to earn you a trip to the ER with a bullet wound...

I went as an Umbrella Corp officer, with black tactical vest on blue BDU, umbrella corp patches on arms, chest, and back, and my M&P in the cross draw holster. Was in downtown and then pearl and then over on the east side. Went drinkin at quite a few places with friends. Saw cops, they saw me, never stopped once. Quite a few places even let me in without even asking if the gun was real or not. Only one place said i couldn't take it in with me, so i put it in my friend's car, but everywhere else no one really cared. I didn't have any ammo on me anyways.
