Lighter load means easier to run 😄 so easier to play the game.
I usually carry 3-4 mags and a pistol, that's it.

I know a few sites I’ve been to in the past have commented on it during the safety brief with a zero tolerance policy. 

I’ve gone full circle, can’t underestimate how effective it is. Can easily carry 6 magazines, radio and bangs. Then just my Glock 19 and magazines on my belt. 

The very best of reasons.
 
Indeed, in the context of wanting to play with toy guns, there are very few bad reasons.

I know a few sites I’ve been to in the past have commented on it during the safety brief with a zero tolerance policy. 

Yeah I’d avoid Nuprol magazines like the plague, two of the team guys bought them for their rifles (G&G and ASG) and despite being told they’d work in any gun …. they did not. 

Snap, well sort of.
 
 

I thank you all for your input to my buying decision, you've been kind and patient with an old man trying to save the pennies and ounces 😋
 
I have now gone 'sod it' and bought a Viper tactical harness from my local online Airsoft shop's boneyard, it's black rather than the dark green I'd have liked, but for a tenner for a Molle belt I'm not going to be picky.  I've also grabbed a super cheap universal belt holster to temporarily continue carrying my sickly HFC M92 (if I don't jump in for the TM Hi capa) for a game or two, which will let me test out the balance.
Next I'll buy some Opsrey SA80 mag pouches as they're cheap as chips... And a utility pouch.
 
Should be sorted, at least to the point that I'll know if this works for me!
 
Edit: Purchased a couple of elastic strapped Osprey mag pouches, and one of those plastic shell m4 mag holders for my primary speedy access.
 
My total outlay is now.... £31
For which I've got a Molle belt with v harness, fabric holster, 2 mag pouches and one mag holder.
 
You might see it all on eBay in a couple of weeks 😋😁🥴

That's a neat setup. Simple loadouts are the best 👌

Longmoor today with Legion Airsoft. Ran with the Mk18 recoil and Arktis chest rig again, the fleece came off when it warmed up and I was busy trying to work both squad and team level comms 😂
 
Spot on day though, and I’ll try and get a review together. 

I've played a few times with Legion at Longmoor and never found the supposed random chrono or hot guns being an issue.

Get yourself a bulle mle, cheap, stable & enough molle for most setups but your back & upper part of your front isn't wrapped in sweat inducing nylon/cordura. 
As for the holster, get a serpa or imi, or one of the half decent knock offs for your chosen pistol, with a molle fitment, no more wobble, fast draw & pretty much guaranteed not to lose mags mid game, something very common with material holsters or sticking them in pouches. 
& yep, mle's & holsters do come up on the forums or ebay s/h at very good prices. 

I played the Saturday game, and in the briefing they mentioned there would be random chrono during the day , but I didn’t see anyone get tested 

what a world we live in, when a cyma ak has rarity value

Makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time 😀😫😀😫😀😫
 
Good luck Jacob 👍
Probably a good time to sell as its out of stock in most of UK.

you can get the AK74U from zero one or daves custom airsoft for £169 and £139 respectively so that may have to drop in price, but as you say you'll just have to see how it goes.

Wow, that's surprising as Daves are usually quite pricy.
 
Sorry Jacob but you may have to reduce the price a bit...

I was surprised too, but there we go. I'm not sure where he's importing them from at that price though.
 
Although £300 for the bundle including the mags is probably still the right price.
Especially as the Zhukov is in stock for £230 it works out about right I think 👍

Except you can't.  "Lead time 10-14 days" means they don't have any.  They have essentially nothing in stock.  If you believe their two week estimate, well, I can get a bridge to you by then.
 
 
 
I'll be brutally honest, that's tl;dr.  I'd list them separately, without the backstory, and with an all-in price including magazines, postage and fees.  Collection is the exception, and I'd be astonished if anyone is going to buy both of them for a discount of £0.00
 
Best of luck though.

I wrote a little about my recent outing to Anzio Camp (with photos) and a little problem I had with my beloved PDR-C:

I wonder what you guys think about this type of content (“Battle Stories”), would you like to continue reading stuff like this, or is it not your cup of tea? Let me know!

Finally got a good Eotech clone, so now I've finished my HK416A5 build. I'll maybe get the PPT X3 Magnifier Flip-To-Side, considering the current Magnifier I have is a X5 magnification.

The CM045a from Gunfire would be £164.63 inc VAT & delivery (GLS)
 

Kind of hard to tell at the moment.  That top one is a CYMA CM.045A, right?  £170 from PatrolBase if they had any (but they don't), £120 plus taxes and shipping from TaiwanGun if they shipped (but they don't), £141 from GunFire, and they might ship, but who knows how much you'd get stung for on extra costs and delays.
 
So at this point I don't know if there really is what you'd call a UK market price, there's just what someone who's after one is willing to pay. (Checks bank account...)

Hey folks! Another update that went out of testing: 5-day weather forecast for each location.

Now, you can check whether to pack gaiters or shorts! Enjoy!
