Not really. I can easily reach the first one on the right without too much trouble and it's generally the first magazine used unless I'm in the middle of a firefight, where I draw the two on the left first. 2nd mag on the right is definitely harder to reach but again, if I have time I don't mind faffing around a little bit to get it. Having all 4 mags on the left would be more convenient for reloads, but it would totally throw off the weight distribution, especially when I don't need to have a lot of stuff on me. This way I can keep things balanced and, most importantly, at hand. Except for the GPS, but that thing never comes out of its pouch when shooty shoot is expected and when I need to use it, it's clipped to the right suspender. For the record, in those flat utility pouches I have a multitool + screwdriver and bits on the right, notepad + map reading stuff (ruler, protractor, map) on the left, plus spare room for my vape + liquid and smaller bits and bobs, while food goes in the slightly larger pouch at the back. Mirror to the GPS pouch is a flapped double mag pouch for my radio and the wiring to my earpiece is threaded and taped to the left suspender, again I don't need to switch channels during a firefight. (Also didn't realise how grey my hair became 🥺😭)

I run a belt setup for longer games, found it doesn't restrict my breathing like a chest rig does when climbing steep hills or hiking many kilometres. Plus it's velcro lined so it locks onto my trousers preventing any shifting. It's based on the Templars Gear PT-4, pouches are a mix of Templars Gear, Helikon and Baribal. Here's a picture of me wearing the thing along with a 15l backpack at October's National Finals, 4 rifle mags, two small utility pouches and a larger one at the back, GPS pouch and a dump. I'm now considering building a second "speedsoft style" belt, much lighter with just 4x rifle mags and a dump pouch, will probably use a HSGI belt instead of a PT-4.

You could have simply tagged me 😂😂 no need for that wall of text 😅

No wishlist, but it looks like I'm getting more carbon fibre goodies for my rifles.

Yeah some things shrink in the cold, but I don't think you should stick them in airsoft guns, it's not safe..

BB retention is overrated, so much so that the actual good M4 hop units (Silent Industries, Begadi and such) don't use them. To the OP: No mention of the hop unit is being made, which obviously doesn't help. Could be the retention mechanism (paddle/latch or the tiny spring on the ME Sport units, o-ring like the old Madbull rotary unit), could be a slight deformation or indent on the feed tube that is not enough to prevent feeding but is enough to retain 2/3 bbs. Gib pictures or a better description so we can help you

Italian is a stretch they are a distributor but on top of that they get their own receivers. No different than specna/dboys/saigo. Now onto the rail, just go and pick whatever you like, but please for the love of god avoid Ares Octarms, price tag is tempting but then you'll end up with a largely off spec lump of metal.

Gunfire has a 25% off code... So I bought: 1x solink-specna helical dsg set 2x solink-specna helical 13:1 set 1x acetech-specna brighter C tracer in black for a friend 1x acetech-specna brighter C tracer in wanker colour for me. HPA should be on delivery tomorrow.

Motor + gears are here

Bit of a different day. Only 7 people on the field so we set up a very simple IPSC-style course and ran different challenges all morning. For the first time my AAPs have let me down with various issues ranging from inconsistent hop to straight up freezing, especially the carbine. The culprit is most likely green gas, it was a quite cold day at 6/7° and it struggled a lot. No Biggie, my hpa setup should be here next week anyway. Also realised that my optics are filthy and couldn't properly track bbs, so a decent cleaning session is due this afternoon. Overall a fun experiment that we're planning to turn into a regular club activity (maybe once a month or so).

Just ordered a HPA kit from Airtac, 0.8l alu tank + line + airtac regulator. € 180 posted, just €20 more expensive than a balystik hpr800c + tank + line setup from a semi-local shop but I get lifetime warranty on the reg which is a nice plus.

Monk Customs is having a 40% off on their angled HPA adapters for their 5 year anniversary... So I snagged a black skeletonized one for my AAPs. Fuuck I'm turning into a speedsofter...

Wet day = fun day. 9 people on the field, played in the lower part (steeper, denser vegetation, best part imo), started off meh but picked up from the 2nd game on. 1st outing for the 40 RPS brushed pdw dsg, performed okay on 0.28s but the hop up needs revised, a bit too much vertical spread. For the last two games I switched to the brushless SSG M4, this too was fine for the most part. Decently consistent at 36 RPS.

Yes, but Sudoku sounds funnier and catches people off guard Here we call it Harakiri I suppose you don't have access to a stock G&G mosfet unit to swap the ETU++ for and rule out any possible faults on that side eh? How are the various connectors? Solid? Wonky? Have you tried a different battery? (even better would be to try with a different motor as well)
