CHICAGO P.D.
Airsoft Action|February 2021
AT LAST, WE’RE ALL SERIOUSLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HEADING OUT TO GAMES AGAIN IN 2021 AND IT’S A GOOD THING THAT WE ARE, AS SOME OF THE AIRSOFT ACTION CREW ARE GETTING SOME SERIOUS LEVELS OF “CABIN FEVER”, WITH SOME AWESOME LOADOUT IDEAS FOLLOWING ON FROM BILL’S TAKE ON “THE LAST SHIP”. THIS TIME, IT’S BOYCIE’S TURN, AS HE HEADS TO “CHICAGO PD” TO CREATE A LOADOUT THAT COULD LEAD TO GIVING “LOCKDOWN” A WHOLE NEW MEANING!
CHICAGO P.D.

The chat group where we discuss all things post-apocalypse has now grown into a whole range of new directions, with the conversation spreading even further afield, to encompass movies and TV series that we could all watch while we had a little enforced downtime. Inspiration came to me in the form of another “LE Loadout”; NBC’s “Chicago PD” TV show first aired in the USA on January 8th 2014 and the UK premier was 22nd October 2014. It showed the uniformed officers of, and the Elite Intelligence unit of, the fictional “21st District” of the Chicago Police Department, headed by Sergeant Henry “Hank” Voight.

THE BASICS

I’ve been a fan of the show since it first aired in the UK and whilst we’ve been living under the Covid19 restrictions in one form or another, having got bored with the “generic” Multicam setups out on sites, I decided that I would, like Bill, put together a loadout to mimic one of my favourite TV shows. Although in a lot of the show the characters wear plain clothes, sometimes, when they go on pre-planned raids and operations, they wear the Chicago PD body armour and also wear tactical black uniform on some occasions. The plan would be to use the badges of “Sgt Hank Voight”, my sidearm would be my Umarex/ VFC Glock 17, as used by three characters including “Detective Jay Halstead”. Being a left hander, the only left-handed character in the show is “Detective Haley Upton”, so this would give me a good mix of parts of each of the main characters.
