In episode 13 of the "Roast or Rate" series, The Gear Locker goes over ten tactical loadouts submitted by community members, ranging from specialized impression kits to practical airsoft setups. The competition is portrayed as being quite close, with many entries receiving high marks for their attention to detail and realism.

Find out how The Gear Locker managed to do it in this video... "This is a video I have been eager to make for MONTHS! However, I thought there was no better base to do this on for my impression, reenactment, and airsoft community than with a Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle! But for my REAL GUN guys out there, these are all legit accessories. So you can use this stuff on a legit one too!"

The Gear Locker takes a look at the EMG/CYMA CGS Lightning Series Colt 723, a gas blowback rifle designed as a replica of the carbine used by Delta Force during the late 1980s and early 1990s. He checks its historical accuracy, noting features like the N1-style stock, the C7-style upper receiver with a fixed carry handle, and period-correct Colt markings.

The Gear Locker compares two carry handle Weaver mounts used for Delta CAR-15 builds: a reproduction from Shekkin Gears and an original from MGW. The Shekkin Gears version is a reproduction manufactured in China and is priced at approximately forty-one dollars. In contrast, the MGW mount is an original component from the eighties and nineties that is still available for purchase via phone order for twenty-nine dollars.

Check out the chest rigs used by the Delta Force in the 1980s by The Gear Locker. He two specific types of chest rigs utilized by Delta Force operators during late 1980s operations, particularly the invasion of Panama (Operation Just Cause). The first rig discussed is a custom-made black chest rig, sometimes called the "bonus strike vest," which first appeared around 1984 and was primarily used by A Squadron during Operation Acid Gambit, the raid to rescue Kurt Muse from Modello prison.

The Gear Locker reviews the EMG M16A2 airsoft rifle, which he purchased for $280. Whilst the rifle features a good aluminum body and metal barrel, he says that it has notable external flaws, primarily the "auto" marking on the receiver instead of the correct "burst" function for the A2 model. The plastic handguard also feels cheap, leading to some initial disappointment in the gun's realism.

The Gear Locker creates a replica of the M116A1 flash crash training grenade, a piece of gear used by Delta Force, as the original simulators are nearly impossible to find. Working with Stripes Airsoft, the host used a cardboard outer shell that matches the dimensions of the real grenade, combined with a 3D-printed inner core to give the reproduction a realistic heft.
