I was trying to rack my brains about that. My dad had one in storage at my grandparents, I was never allowed to play with it but saw it a few time.

Damn, I’m having flashbacks...
I have no idea what happened to it. I would hazard a guess when the grandparents house was sold the company paid to remove everything (it was almost like a hoarders paradise) either skipped the lot or sold it on.
oh well

Picked up a new EOTech 558 clone with a G43 magnifier to add to my HK 416, and started on a new Coyote Tan loadout to go with woodland MARPAT BDUs. Started with the Elite Ops PLB shooter belt from WAS. The combo contains:
- 1 x PLB Belt
- 1 x Personal Medic Rip-off pouch
- 1 x Universal Pistol Holster
- 1 x Large Roll up Dump Pouch
- 2 x Polymer Mag 5.56mm
- 2 x Polymer Mag 9mm Pistol
Also added the WAS adjustable radio pouch for a Baofeng. Next will be the Recon plate carrier, Pathfinder chest rig and a drop pouch, once they're back in stock.

Here's my first attempt at a loadout ready for April kickoff. Just went for the belt rig in the end.
5 mid-caps (room for 8), spare pouch for empty mags, pouch for drink bottle (or radio?), pouch for spare battery/tools?/snacks?
Feel free to suggest improvements.

I wouldn't change anything until you've had a run out with it. You'll pretty quickly figure out what you like and what you want to change for your own preferences and tweak from there. There isn't (for the most part) a right or wrong way to run your gear, as long as it works for you then it's doing what you purchased it to do.
Only thing I would consider, as you're running midcaps, is have a speedloader on you (the Marui AR mag style ones are very good, but there are cheaper clones)... which means making sure you've got somewhere to put it, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with using pockets as long as they're secure.
For my personal preference I'd ditch the black mag pouches and replace the one on the left with a fold up dump pouch (doesn't have to be fold up, I just like keep it small and out of the way until I feel need it). I tend to run 5 midcaps on me, 4 on my gear and 1 in the RIF. As I say, don't change anything until you've had a run out, just food for thought.

This. Can't stress enough the importance of testing kit on the field.
I honestly like it, pretty minimalist (almost speedsoft-y which is always good)
I'd just swap the black pouches with something either green or multicam (but that's me hating on black kit).
give it a run as soon as you're allowed to play and make changes accordingly

The black belt and pouches are kit I already had. I'm trying really hard not to buy lots of stuff which I think might be useful until I've had a chance to try it out but there is so much temptation out there.?This. Can't stress enough the importance of testing kit on the field.

The belt is less than half the weight of what it used to be when loaded up with 12g mags.

Having half your mags on your non-dominant side is going to be an issue unless you plan on cycling them across when you're quiet.

That's the plan. I figure that if I get into a fire fight that uses more than 300 rounds I probably brought the wrong gun.
I tried doubling up the mag pouches but didn't really like the bulky feel of them so thought I'd try it this way first. The first one on the right is fairy easy to reach anyway.

super nerdy but i disagree. I don't consider myself to have a "dominant" side, i just have a weaker side. for airsoft situational stuff like cover and positioning should dictate what side you fire from, and i like to have my kit and gun set up so i can switch hands easily, for example i do my best to have my kit set up like a mirror image - i want to be able to reload and use grenades with my "weak side" as easily as i can, and this also applies attachments on the gun like light and lasers, which should be operated ambidextrously. say for example having a pressure switch mounted at the 9 o'clock position is very easy to access when holding the gun on the right hand side, but once you switch to the left hand side it is very awkward. mounting them at 12 allows me to use either left or right hand basically just as easily and i say basically just as easy as whilst I am right handed, its not a matter of ergonomics or bio-mechanics.

I have my mags on my chest for this very reason, if they're across your centre mass then you can reload with either hand. If they're around either side of your waist and you need a mag from your right side when you're shooting right handed then you're going to get stuck. Hardly life and death I know but there you go. Much like yourself I tend to try and mount accessory controls centrally if I can but not always as long as I can reach them.
Of course, it's more of an issue for any of us that use a side arm as the holster will be right where his second set of primary mags are.

That's a whole other problem as I'm right handed for rifles and left handed for pistols. I've decided to leave the sidearm problem until I've got some experience. The only things I'm sure of there is that it has to be a 1911 of some sort and I hate thigh/leg holsters.

There's no right or wrong way, just what suits you & sometimes the situation/scenario will dictate what works best.
as a young squaddie we were instructed to have our mag pouches (58 pattern) on our sides/hips, mainly because the "reaction to fire" taught was to drop to the prone position, obviously mag pouches on our front would have been inaccessible & also increased our target profile, not good.
but as an old knackered airsofter, if I drop to the prone position, I ain't getting up, so I don't do it & therefore can justify having mags on my chest.
end of the day we're just playing at it, whatever works, same goes for the rigs, for some players this is a glorified fashion show, much of what's worn & carried is unnecessary, but it looks the dogs bollocks lol ?
