People really must vote with their wallets on these events, I've never heard of one going remotely well. Maybe some years ago I missed one, but I'm pretty sure for the past few years they've been both really terrible and expensive? I only had that once myself (the mythical blue fox 2) and it made me extremely wary I'd have to say. There's zero chance I'll put my faith in any organiser without a track record of both decent length and solid quality. Granted my feasible opportunities to attend multi-day events are probably a lot rarer than some so I'm extremely cautious, but even if the time and effort were immaterial (which they really aren't), when you're paying something like £80-150 just for the entry let alone fuel and supplies, the experience simply can't be an unpleasant mess.

Will be a very stiff type of foam, but if you get some generic stuff online and cut it just a hair on the large side for the PC, then once you squash them in there you'll have more than enough rigidity for airsoft but it's flexible enough that it bends if you really need it to.

Some 1-1.25" foam from ebay, cut to the shape of the plate bags, done, works great. Off the top of my head the -S is SAPI small and I think PTS do Smalls in their foam plates if you want a pre-made solution, or generally anything foam or hollow plastic that's a small - though I'd stick to foam as sometimes if a plate of any solid material is a little too tall you can have exposed hook velcro on the inside that'll eat your shirts (though I don't own an LBX PC, but that's common).

Thanks for the @ I think you're on the right track but you can save on bulk/storage space and probably money even further if you cut out the panel and just have a placard with inserts for whichever type of mags you're running with. Myself, for a good while I was building a collection of PALS placards in different colours with different types of pouches on them to just tear'n'swap between mag types, then I saw the light and just got rid of almost all of those for 1 placard per colour and 1 set of inserts that can cover all of them. Definitely saved me money and a lot of storage capacity. No way I can't sound like I'm self shilling right now, but my placard was specifically designed from day 1 to fit 3 x soviet steel 762 AK mags with the feed lips facing down, which to my knowledge are the biggest, fattest 30rnd AK mags going and there's still a little bit of extra room. I own a Mk5 and it's awesome, brilliant construction, but Spiritus aren't fussed about catering to AKs really. I think the 5 works with 545 mags going bullets down and just about with 762 plastic mags bullets up, but I never see it regularly done because there's just better options out there. It isn't really wide enough for 762 mags (especially with the back rib) and going bullets down in the normal way. Might not matter if you're rocking hi-caps, but if you want 3 mags then I'd look at a placard other than the Mk5. If you go for anything like the Minimo, Spiritus Thing 2 or Ferro Chesty wide I'd have to say also that velcro adhesion is quite important in my experience, as I always found the edges would peel on my Chestys and once the peeling starts and you run it can propagate. The Mk5 is a brilliant laminate which will last even your grandkids, but because it's thick and so structured it won't really curve to your chest where the Ammo Hub will, possibly also the Ferro DOPE though I don't own one.

Can't remember exactly when I bought this gun originally before embarking on my external mods, I think it's pushing 9 years or so. Being a very very run-of-the-mill V2 AEG AR I didn't think he'd record it but there we go. No I didn't do any work to the insides myself nor did I know what was in there, I never look inside my guns 😂

I watched for something like a year-ish and decided to drop in 3 AR AEGs for him to upgrade. Far as I can tell his bread and butter is internals and specifically AR/M4/M16 family V2 AEGs and I own a good few from the days before anything decent came with a mosfet. I've done them up externally long ago to how I wanted them but I'm just not interested in AEG internals, so it seemed to make sense and he's not too far from me. Only slight downside is I'm in a rather unpredictable line of work (especially this week) and once he starts working on whatever RIF you've given him he'll be sending quite a lot of messages/short videos and asking questions etc through the process, and right now I don't actually know when I'll have the free time to be able to get on my phone at any given moment. If your schedule is more consistent though it's a pretty big upside really, you can give feedback and make budget decisions as the work's being done. Whether his way of upgrading AEGs is 'the' very bestest way... meh, I don't think there is one. Airsoft is a cottage industry, it's simply not big enough of a business such that there are universally proven best ways to squeeze out the best reliability/performance and tolerances are all over the shop with these cheap parts. What these guns are not is F1 cars or military jets where people with doctorates are 3D modelling airflows around every component, weighing every milligram and timing every system to 1/100000th of a second because people's lives and £billions are hanging in the balance etc etc. Arguing on the internet about filing gears and X69 vs Y96 hop rubber is stupid.

I dunno how many SUSATs I've handled, lost count long ago, but that much paint missing is certainly possible. If it was scuffed up before getting to theatre then used for months on that arid, gravelly terrain.. yeah.

I wanted a PC in US woodland for yeeears but none on the market quite did what I wanted, so even though it's not setup yet I'm gonna have to post the SHAW because I bloody love it tbh, lol.

I wouldn't say squeeze exactly they made untold millions from kids buying skins in WZ1 haha. You might be right on the pass, but then again they'd get a *lot* of new pass subscribers if it was included.. we shall see, could go either way. For me the SP got worse and worse each time through the original modern warfare trilogy, and the old and bitter part of me thinks they'll make the same mistakes again. Possibly forget about the super popular but slow CQB and child insurgent levels from MW2019 in favour of absurd, un-immersive enormous action pieces that only appeal to 13 year-olds. Fingers crossed though.

There's rumour it'll be on the microsoft game pass and I haven't used my free trial for that yet, so maybe. I'd bet Warzone 2 will be free so I'm definitely not buying it at CoD prices just for the single player or regular MP.
