Always thought that having a pipe would be much more hip, with a decent shag

Yes. I am not too keen on the FN Scar 'Wellington boot' stock either. Still there is a gun out there for everyone, and even the ugly ones will have someone who loves them.

I love the shooting part but sometimes it is a pain to have a long walk back to regen because of friendly fire.

I would not willingly go over to the orange team, but at that point it was not clear which half of us the marshalls would chose. Good call in the end, we (forum members) all ended up on the green team. Now just have to teach people that when they call a challenge they do need to say what colour they are and not just "colour?". In the basement we did have a clasic blue on blue in the dark when whole bunch of players were exchanging shots and no one had clarified what side they were on.

A new Nitecore RCR123A rechargeable 3.7V 650mAh Li-ion Lithium battery for my tactical light, to replace the spare one I lost. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161497959866?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

They do have regular discounts, some are good savings which have tempted me on numerous occasions. I bought my Warrior chest rig due to the discount and was pleased that I did. I know what you mean about not having the code when you need one! Just need to wait and see if one comes out, I now only buy if thete is some saving never full price. Best answer is to receive their emails of offers, I only post a few of them.

Thanks guys, just thought I would see what others did with their pyro before just leaving outside in the garage or in my kit bag inside the house.

Or try finding a flanking route to take the fight to them from another direction but still going forward.

Suspenders does seem a very American term, better to say harness. When I think of suspenders, it is that essential kit for holding up ones stockings (which are much more practical than wearing tights).

Maybe I need to find some larger players to go in front of me. It worked well when I followed Lafta into Peacocks at the end of one game, we both drew fire but made it. Sometimes you just have to go forward

More like having a ginger step-child

Well, IIRC, it was actually a she and the home owner didn't have a leg to stand on...

And that is a perfect example of why I would never use it. I do not consider footballers to be particularly good role models.

A shot of spirits, i.e. rum or cognac, will also help improve the brain synaptic connections and concentration, however, not socially accepted at 10 am in work. Adrenaline is for the fight or flight response so does not necessarily make for better game play, and can possibly cause an over the top shooting response. As Proffrink says above, the last thing we want are pools of saliva all over the place.

American chewing tobacco, disgusting spitting habit and gum disease.

I remember a story about a man in South Africa who heard a burglar in his bathroom and shot him...

Yes, you do get shot. Last Sunday I took multiple shots to my chest and stomach, some 20+ welts mainly across my gut. I wear two layers, running style top under my outer layer, which last time was UBACs and so also thin. I could do with some padding but do not want a plate carrier. Normally wearing a thicker top it is fine. At least you know that you have been hit The belt does have loops for suspenders / yoke but I do not use them.

What to members do to safely store their Mk5 cardboard pyro before a skirmish and any unused ones afterwards? Also, being cardboard what precautions do you need to keep it dry so that it works when used? I have a metal ammo tin which should keep them fairly secure in the garage but do not want them getting damp, so thought I could put some silicone gel bags in the tin to soak up any moisture.

If you want lightweight then you could also consider using a battle belt instead, it keeps you cooler than that plate carrier will. You have the mag pouches to the sides on your hips and then room to the rear for dump pouch, etc, depending on what type of pouches you choose. I use one and have no problems laying prone and changing mags, and like all kit it justs needs some practice to get familiar with positions of pouches and mag change drills. This is the same as mine at £50, although I used a discount code to get between 10 and 20% off - http://www.uktactical.com/p-8712-warrior-plb-belt-olive-drab.aspx Not sure if Ranger Green is darker than Olive Drab. This is an example of a fully filled belt - http://www.uktactical.com/p-10356-warrior-belt-mk1-utility-combo-olive-drab.aspx The Gunfighter belt is above your price point but I would say the best option if you go down the route of belts - http://www.uktactical.com/p-11541-gunfighter-belt-olivie-drab.aspx Anyway, more options for you if not actually answering your OP, and no sling point.

Radical idea, just use one hi-cap and controlled shots so there is no need to change the magazine. Makes you even lighter to run Less realistic but convenient.

Do you already have a plate carrier, battle belt, or chest rig, with molle? I use pistol mag pouches with molle to attach to my belt or chest rig. Have a look here for some ideas - http://www.uktactical.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=pistol I have the Double 9mm DA mag pouches and the Triple open 5.56mm mag with 3 pistol pouches. These are for standard pistols mags. Alternately use pockets in your clothing for spare mags and speed loader, or even a shoulder harness with mag pouches.

True, the Warrior ones are grippy for want of a better word, and it is easy enough to unvelcro the bungee cord from inside the pouch and remove it completely. I chose the bungee version for the added security.

One advantage of numbering / marking all of your mags is for identification if dropped or misplaced. It is not just another black AEG magazine but one you can describe and identify if handed in. Some players use coloured tape to ID mag weights or capacity, I find that the letter 'H' helps highlight the hi-cap one amidst the low/real-caps. Each of us have a method to our madness.

I have the Warrior bungee top mags, and like them for keeping the magazines securely in place, although you do need to set the bungee tension correctly otherwise the mags can drop out as I found on my first time out using one. But not as fast as those with "laced elastic shock cord which is threaded through the side of each pouch", I think these ones could be better - http://www.uktactical.com/c-695-warrior-quick-mags-fast-mag.aspx - fast mags with adjustable side tension.
