The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Davidpearl]

Boots, I'm still using my karrimor ones from first game, doing well but ideally need new ones, just make sure they are comfy, your in them for hours

Chestrig, Warriors 901 I can't fault, I have 2 with back panel, the open mag versions, elite 4. You have missed the recent 20% off I think but usually they come around again

Edit

Just checked and seems use is still in use

Would you say this is best bang for your buck over other brands chest rigs?

 

[djben9]

Nope, I just have a camelback on it, easy to take off when needed and use normal straps ?

Thanks

I am now looking at the gladiator - This any decent? I men if you had to choose between the two? Gladiator (£99 - 20% = £79.20) or Warrior 901?(£129 - 20% = £103.20)

I understand the Gladiator is not customisable as much and not sure if you can use it standalone? sorry for all the questions - I am now and want to make sure I make smart purchases that will last

It looks fine, just doesn't have removable pouches or come with the additional ones.the 901 has, it's for Airsift so nothing to worry about

Maybe give them a call, ladies are really helpful, you may be able to try it and swap if nit happy

Where are you based, having to reply on phone at work as it blocks the site!!!!

I also have the CPC vest ?

I also have the CPC vest

I live in Ware, Hertfordshire - I spoke to them as they were out of stock of the Warrior 901 and getting a shipment today.

To be fair for the additional pouches I would need anyways the Warrior 901 is probably more cost effective when you look at pouches £10-£20 each

Just curious, I'm only in Cambridge, where do you play?

That's one reason I went for it, only had the closed version though at the time so had to wait for open pouches to arrive and get later

Currently nowhere - I have a few different groups of friends who play.

I have looked up and my local seems to be AWA Herts in Sawbridgeworth (Next to Harlow) which is 10 mins from me but open to travel - Want to get a UKARA licenses ASAP

Make sure the G36 mag fits in the pouch you choose. A single G36 mag will fit a double M4 pouch if there is no separator in it. Also the g36 mags has those things that clip them together and they catch on anything horizontal in the pouch. Elastic pouches won't work either. You can get an M4 magwell for the g36 though, that solves this problem.

Supposedly the JG G608 does not support the M4 Maxwell conversions - do you know if this is true?

What would be the best Warrior Chest rig to buy then for an G36 now with expansion possibly to M4 and other ARs?

***edit***

I have seen a Battle-axe converter that has had good reviews and seems to work with JG -

https://www.airsoftworld.net/battleaxe-g36-to-m4-m16-mag-well-convertor.html

There is a G36 version which I am sure may be better off to get as it will fit the M4 Mags in after?

The Spec of the Elite 4 version say it has these style pouches - Will those fit a G36 Mag?

The Warrior Elite Ops 901 Elite 4, comes with the following as standard; 4 x Warriors 5.56mm Open Mag Pouches ( Each Pouch holds 1 x PMag 5.56mm Mags )

***editV2***

Just read that the newer JG G608 have a different set up and the conversion kits don't work unless you modify them:

i'm pretty sure almost all of them are actually from the same factory so the brand shouldn't really matter. If you have a one-piece G36 hop unit (no extended feed tube on the magwell), you'll have to cut the tube off the magwell conversion.


SOOOO MUCH TO CONSIDER!!!!!! *Brain turns to mush*

 

[Samurai]

The current JG versions have that vertical BB tube on the hopup itself. All the other versions have it on the magwell. If the magwell and the hopup has it, just cut it off from the magwell.

Ok thanks - The would you suggest that the Warrior 901 Elite 4 will be suitable with a Magwell conversion and to just use good quality M4 mags?

Got some bits in sales, all ordered late Sunday, both arived Wednesday.

From UK Tactical

a triple velcro 5.56mm mag pouch for my Warrior CPC so I can run it without the Pathfinder Chest Rig for quick games.

Warrior PLB to replace my first molle belt from Kombat. Buy cheap buy twice!

A single Warrior M4 elastic mag. I have two of these on the Pathfinder and they are really good. This one is for my PLB as I run one M4 mag on my belt for quick changes.

As ever, the Warrior kit is well made and fairly priced.

From Military 1st

Pentagon BDU 2.0 Pants to replace my tattered Jack Pyke Beaters trousers.

Condor BDU belt

Helikon Delta jacket. Really impressed with this. Great bargain for the price. So much so I may get another.

All good kit, again well priced.

I'll review the kit after my next game.

Are they any good?

I airsoft with my daughter and as an under 18 she can't use Pyro. But gas powered grenades are ok for her to use. I've just never really seen one in the flesh.

Got mine as the same deal. Some games I go to, last all morning or afternoon with no breaks and the chest rig is great for that. But for quicker games or if i'm running more of a DMR type role I like the CPC. I got the velcro mag panel so I could carry mags on the front rather than in the pouches on the side straps. The CPC is a great bit of kit and not as cumbersome as some other plate carriers.

they looked ok on the videos, haven't used them with bb's in yet, there's a high likelihood of bb's leaving my garden if i use them outside.

and the Mrs will not have bb's fired in the house....
