Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic

Boots?

You don't need a pistol. They are fun and of course there are 'pistol only' games here and there, but you'd almost certainly get more use out of a BFG or even a back up AEG. How are you doing for batteries and charger? Cleaning rod and alcohol swabs? Silicone oil?

You may find that a shemagh over your mouth makes you uncomfortably hot, but everyone has their own attitude towards the risk of losing teeth. Personally the idea gives me the shivers so I run mesh masks = ultimate BB protection and not sweaty like a cloth solution.

Cleaning rod, alcohol wipes and silicone spray in the loadout?

What about sandwiches?

I was considering making a gillie hood to stuff in pocket for woodland games?

 

[two_zero]

2nd aeg before pistol. cleaning rod, silicon oil. shemags tend to come off due to heat n sweat.

sandvich if you are a heavy.


wouldn't bother with gillie just yet if I was you.

Picked up two friends for last skirmish.. guitarcases for the win!

Little cartons of ribena or umbongo in your empty pouches!

Got some squirty squirty too, from Maplin.

Thanks chaps, very informative.

YW

Squirty squirty? I hope you mean silicone oil, because some other types of oil can do serious damage to various AEG parts - for eg WD-40 should never be used in any way which could result in it getting into the hop (so not in the gearbox either as air is drawn through the gb and picks up micro droplets of oil and grease as it does so). That said, while a lot of people seem to enjoy aerosol silicone oil, personally i think it is a sledgehammer to a drawing pin at times - you don't want loads of it inside mags for eg because oily BB's will not be as affected by the hop and possibly not evenly, but just 1 or 2 max drops in a midcap mag is enough to make the spring and follower operate more smoothly and increase capacity sometimes.

Light silicone oil of course.

I had noticed that the Dytac midcaps can hold 150 BBs but they are sold as 120's and yes I stripped and oiled them when I got them.

Solidfox CPC arrived today along with FMA Maritime. I think with a bit more adjustment the CPC should sit better, otherwise I need to bulk up

Mack, that vest is sharp as f*ck. Where did you get it from?

 

[cavninja]

Lookin' good Mac! Semper Fi!!

I think i saw that it was from ebay, could be wrong though. TMC make replicas for about £45

It's a solidfox CPC mate, RSOV have them, cost me £190. Carrier is £170 shipped but only got stung for £20 import

Looks a lot like the WAS DSC plate carrier

Hmm.. I don't really agree with that. They're both fairly modern styled plate carriers, but that's about where the similarities end. There's a lot of differences.

As far as I can see the only difference is built in m4 mag pouch and a steel wire? What else?

 

[M_P]

Pretty much everything

Maybe it's just me but I can't see a massive difference.
