Hahaha that's awesome!
But clearly the first NVG-enabled IR tac light predated 1779!?

Did you get the VFC copy of this one , I hear it’s amazing ! 
 

That's awesome! I recently got an M-LOK Musket with foregrip, and a Blunderbuss with a PEQ laser on it, gonna be sick with this chest rig.
 
Love that camo too, the green bits on the sleeves will help in a woodland environment.

 
Personally I'm a big fan of this genuine Navy Seal plate carrier, in maritime red (Because Navy) and comes with foam inserts and buckle.

Anybody used one of these surplus lightweight belt kits ? Looks like you’ve got a pair of ammo pouches , a utility pouch and a dump pouch .
lookslike you can get a tac helmet to go with it as well .
Just wondering if it’s scurmishable ? 

I've played Ghost Recon Breakpoint to death and really enjoy the customization of the character .... and so naturally my game gear now mirrors my airsoft stuff. I did the same with Wildlands too!
 

Shall we get back on topic? Getting a bit political now, and this thread is about showing off our gear and loudouts!

Haha. You're messing with my mind now lol🤔

Their Internet infrastructure is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit and that's all that matters 😄

Since the Girandoni airifle was in action in 1779, and bested the standard muskets of the time, surely a 9.48g BB at 500fps is acceptable?  You'd scream your hits for sure.  All in the name of history.

Really surprised about reading this, Australia is a very backwards country and very behind the rest of the world and i see no reason for Canada to lower itself to that level.

By what metric?
 
The education ranking puts them 11th in the world, their economy is the 13th largest and their quality of life is the highest in the world. Or do you just mean that they banned guns?

That's a good idea, I'll remember that.
 
Ah, I gotcha. You knew what I meant though! 😂 basically steering clear of the super-cheap clones with stitched fabric for shoulders.
 
Next mod will be an easy one - kangaroo pouch kydex insert!

So, just bought a Viper JPC (Fakes are really good nowadays, but anything without the hypalon shoulder material isn't worth it) but I couldn't help but notice how annoying and useless the top admin pouch is! Makes loads of noise, it's in an inconvenient area for the amount of force required to open it etc etc, meaning you never use it (Each to their own, respectfully).
 
So I took apart an old pouch laying around, just wanted the zip.
(I only removed the front pocket, so the pouch itself is still actually intact) carefully removing the front pocket with a stanley knife gently blading the threads;

 
Until I got the zip.
Now I measured the velcro to be 155mm on the JPC, with the whole pouch width to be 190mm, so I cut the zip down and stitched a few million cross-stitched across the zip tightly (To prevent the zipper leaving the track) and then put some super glue over the threads to harden them up.

 
Then I used double-sided velcro to apply to the material, just to hold it in place whilst stitching it;

 
Stitching looks bad here but I took more time on it after the photo, frankly though it doesn't have to be perfect, it won't be under load or stress, and you can always touch it up with super glue.
 
Worth noting, after stitching across the zip and cutting the excess off with scissors I burnt it with a lighter to melt the end, and then went around the edge of the whole cloth with a lighter to stop it fraying.
 
 
This is before;

 
And this is after;

 

 

 
Hopefully this helps somebody! 
I would probably have used dark velcro if I had some but honestly you can't see it, I've shown in the picture you need to peer down my chin(s) to see it, but you can just stick the zipper mod down lower in the JPC's pouch to make it non-visable.
 
Cheers!

Found this online and thinking of using this as a plate carrier.
 
Obviously I'll spray it camo first, I'm not a idiot.

Plenty of people can tell you how it feels to their body type, and they can tell you how it looks in their opinion - but really it's just down to you.
 
Buy stuff, make mistakes, and learn from them.
 
End of the day, it's Airsoft, it is something we enjoy and it isn't life or death so it really comes down to two things;
 
A) Does it feel good?
B) Does it look good?
 
We dress up all fancy and play soldiers so looks is definitely a factor 😎 Feel cool wearing it.
So plate carrier, chest webbing, battle belt - whatever you like 😎

Yeah I think they saw you coming a mile off...! 

All booked in, great site and I already know of some of you guys from last time who told me you're going.
Anybody else from this forum going?

Yep - they are marginally better specified internally.
 
To be clear - virtually all entry-level AEGs have metal gears - G&G Raiders included. It could be argued that G&G gears might actually be slightly better finished than Specna's (I'm basing that on a small sample of 2 G&Gs Combat Machines and a single Specna that I've owned, so others may claim otherwise).
 
The MOSFET is a very new addition to the CORE lineup - not all models have been equipped with them yet so make sure that the vendor specifically states that one is fitted if that's a selling point for you.
 
It's not a great MOSFET by any stretch though. I have the same MOSFET in a higher-end Specna model that has died after one day of use (again - small sample). A 'standard' trigger switch (like the G&G) is no bad thing - they are very reliable as long as you don't try to stick a monster of a LiPo battery on it.
 
But for a tenner more - this gun beats both (IMO) but the proprietary nature of ICS ain't everyone's cup of tea.

Nope. Leave it alone. Don't touch the gearbox until it breaks.
 
First (and most noticeable) upgrade - SHS Hi-Torque motor
Second - 275mm ZCI barrel inner barrel
Third - Hop Rubber and Nub (the stock Raider G&G green rubber isn't bad at all, so I wouldn't worry for a while)
 
Run on a 7.4v Buffer Tube LiPo and you are good to go.
 
 
 
 
 

Raider V1 came in two lengths, S and L
 
Raider 2.0 comes in one length, with a 275mm inner barrel. 
 
Raider 2.0E (ETU model) comes with the longer barrel. 

7.4v with a Hi-Torque is no issue. I have been running that combo for years. I would recommend two batteries, with a lunchtime battery swap.
 
I recommend hobbyking batteries as they can be had for £6 each from their UK warehouse.  They can be had with Deans or Mini-Tamiya connectors (which is standard on G&G guns) pre-fitted so yep, plug in and go. 
 
You don’t need any electronic upgrades such as Mosfets to run 7.4v LiPos. 
 

Hang on... hang on I'm taking notes and you're talking really fast.
 
"No ... kitchen sink... okay, got it"

I've got a lovely little bruise where I took one like a champ to the eyebrow! 🥲
