Have you used a ready mag for airsoft? I'm just wondering if it would suffer from the same problem as the stock I got - that being that the magazine was too high at the top where the BBs come out, so the magazine didn't engage with the release catch.Never been a fan personally, because once those two are empty, your reload time then becomes much longer unless you’re happy to drop £90 on the ground. Have a look at a ‘readymag’. That way you can always have a second mag on the gun, but not attached so you can still have functional pouches.
After using it for a bit, you’ll get a good idea even without counting when you’re about to run out. If I feel like Ive got maybe <5 bb’s left before I move from cover or enter a building, I’ll change the mags out anyway. Unless you run a dump pouch, always designate a pouch for putting half empty/empty mags.

I was tempted to a plate carrier, but alas I am far too porky for what the shop had to offer.I haven’t, but I’ve seen plenty of airsoft guns with them on before. Personally I’ll just use a plate carrier and some decent pouches
None of 'em came close, which is why I ended up with the viper chest rig. Which is, quite frankly, shite.

Viper sling I had lasted one day. One. Total shite.Uurrgh. Viper.
Have a fleece of theirs which is good. My Dad has a SAAV which is decent.
But every other item I have seen or owned is just pony.

New sling worked as expected. i.e it didn't.
That castle nut wrench can't come soon enough!
Played at Havoc today - And after the first game I was absolutely gutted. Two mags vented.
Had a chat with one of the marshals and he agreed with you guys on changing the gas. So I stopped being a tight Yorkshireman and bought a can of Nuprol red. The difference was night and day.
No venting, all 5 mags worked perfectly. The only problem then was the fact I was out of BBs very quickly.
I already have 5 and they take forever to fill with the stupid tubey thing.
I'm not sure if I want to carry more than 4 in my rig as they weigh a lot and I have a knackered back.
Today I settled for sticking gas and BBs in a rucksack and carrying it with me. Not perfect, but did the job.
Any other suggestions would be most welcome!
