Only goes for military and police, but they always hit'n'quit in favour of a hotter calibre.

I cannot even imagine how often that kind of thing happens and doesn't get found out. Not an excuse AT ALL, but the military cannot function without trusting people to a fairly large extent so yeah.. alas. Unless you can somehow disable the 2nd shot binary is definitely a bad idea safety wise and iffy even then given airsofters' trigger finger awareness. I'd just class it the same as auto personally if I were making rules on when and where it could be used in game, certainly not as a replacement for normal semi/repetition. I do despise the mindset that is attached to HPA pistols with AEG mags, but ban? Hm.. not sure. Super grey area on where you start and stop on what's allowed in terms of types of guns and gear. The two tone thing is clearly fuckin bonkers.

Well how else you gonna be ready when a sic rave kicks off at the site?

Put in a 40 for a taller-than-it-is-long.

Handled a real one in Vegas a couple of weeks back and it does seem fun I have to say, decently ergonomic controls and I like the look; though the plastic may well be matched by the airsoft version. Nice set of mods.

I presume you never want to go prone by the way? Because you can't with the setup you're suggesting.. at all. BULLE on flecktarn.co.uk is the best value kit I know of. A 'multicam' PC that costs about £40 new on eBay will most likely be the hottest of hot garbage.

Like to make it too easy eh... No idea on the plate carrier, but it's got a triple rifle mag pouch on the front (or kangaroo pocket) with a wide GP pouch stacked on top of that by the looks of it. Isn't just one piece of kit and hundreds of companies make mag and GP pouches in multicam.

Are vertical pics the new norm because everyone's viewing the board on their phone? Honest question from a 30-something basically-grandad that uses a PC a lot.

ALLLL that room inside the big fat German clockwork box for any gearbox and tons of battery storage... Nice to see it done but this is one of the worst possible ways to bring it to reality.

And it'll be made of zamac, unlike the PTS version. Personally those aren't the factors I'd prioritise but if you do want small aesthetic details primarily over durability then that's understandable in this game.

Er.. nope, didn't. I'm still on the fence admittedly because the VFC that's around looks great and the closest competitors are the G&G SR25 and TM SCAR but I can't find a sub 16" SR25 nor do I massively want what is now the 'old' model of SCAR, but 417 mags won't agree with my load carrying kit very well either and I cannot personally get along with quad rails on AR derivatives with my little girl hands. Also not sure on compatibility of RS handguards with the VFC and given the gas system they'll still be super fat even if they do fit. There's no perfect option but I usually spend a year or two making decisions like this tbh.

Just running through my options but let's see if I've missed anything. Has to be: -Realistic representation of some actual firearm -Good externals, can always get the insides done -Not fussed on budget -No 417s or anything else with ultra wide mags I've also dismissed M14s because I don't love the looks or the mags. Current considerations are: -TM SCAR H -LCT G3 -G&G SR25 Chime off.

This is a fully personal thing, but you might want to maybe look at Magpul, BCM, B5, Reptilia, DD, Ergo, just a military M16A1 pistol grip or.. maybe anything else at all before FAB. Their stuff looks like it was designed by a child for nerf blasters or a supersoaker; though obviously if you want that civvie aesthetic vs a military type rifle then hey have at it.

My favourite acquisitions at SHOT show.

Well thanks mate, glad you do. I spoke to the owner of Tactical-Kit a few days ago and he is interested so if things go to plan it'll be easy enough to get here. I may be shooting myself in the foot here, but the hub actually does have a lot in the way of functionality, it's designed to be the most modular placard ever to come to market and all that stuff is covered/being covered on the social media. However if you literally just want to clip it to any PC or harness, stick in your mag insert and go you can 100% do that and you will not get any trouble at all from the extra options that are built in. Until you know about them or want to use them you probably won't even know they're there given the way it's designed. The down side to that is I'm going to have to produce a LOT of short educational posts/videos on all the ways to set the thing up, but hopefully it'll lead to more interest since a very large amount of folks out there probably already have kit that can mesh with it.

Yeah I spoke to the owner today in SHOT and top guy, but the female 1" split bar should come with the PC so people can use other placards, it's what everyone else I know of does if their system is buckles vs g hooks lol. I think it's down to the company being new to this era of kit and they've not quite realised how much else is out there and the fact people will wanna use other compatible brands, at least I hope so.

I'll be going with green but thanks mate. I think they're intending for people to use G Hooks, did you source some 1" buckles alright?

Nice, I'll be getting one somehow or other soon as they put out the skins in plain RG. One of the best ever bits of modern kit to be born in the UK.

You genuinely cannot beat a super authentic backdrop to complete a loadout pic.

Apologies to those who saw my other thread, but I'm pretty proud of my placard/micro rig I've designed so I'm gonna show it in here too tbh! Won't up sell too hard here, feel free to look up @f9gear_ on IG (or FB) if you're in to kit and would like to know more. Or even if you just want to follow the story of an airsofter selling gucci gear to Americans (hopefully).

Good of you to say mate, cheers.

Truly shameless self promotion alert - also aimed very much at the military so forewarning if you're not in to kit that's way OTT for airsoft. If I may I'd like to present the Ammo Hub A1, a supremely modular placard that at the core level is designed to be the foundational basis for carrying your primary mags either on the front of a PC or built up to a chest rig. I get that from the picture that it really doesn't look like much, but please believe me when I say the design is done in such a way that there are 10s of thousands of potential setups you can build and the aftermarket integration features of the placard are done such that the interfaces are super sleek and tucked away - mostly they comprise of slots and various velcro areas. It takes any mag insert with hook velcro on both sides like Spiritus and HSP so it'll work for ARs, AKs and all SMGs just like the other micro rigs many of you will be familiar with. I'm not currently aware of a PC with placard integration on the front that this cannot attach to. It can take different top and side attachment buckle options as well as any PALS pouches on the front, sides and base and Tubes compatible dangler pouches/sub loads. It can be stacked on top of itself or mounted side by side with itself if you buy 2 and want that capacity and capability. Any back strap or harness that uses industry standard 1" buckles can be attached but the side attachment loops can be tucked away entirely when used on a PC. If you have a cummerbund that includes FS Tubes it can clip in directly to the placard rather than the front plate bag for maximum security (extra Tubes purchase req'd); but if that doesn't apply for your PC there's also a way to strap the bottom of the placard to the bottom of the plate bag. Because of its' size it can be slightly curved even with 3 AR mags stored and it will stick to your PC/chest rig base better than most other similar products. The Ammo Hub is very very light and kept slim by the use of FirstSpear's specific 6/12 cordura/loop velcro laminate fabric while still being made to meet or exceed the specs required for military applications in terms of strength and durability of both materials and stitching. The hub is shown here mounted to the front of an FS Plate Carrier with 3 EMAGs stowed inside: The first small batch will only be in MC and will available around late feb/early march. There's are no 2 ways about it though, it will be expensive. You're looking at something roughly in the region of $60-70 (exact details TBC) for the basic setup with just top attachment buckles and you'll then need an insert of your choosing to retain mags, but I'd imagine a lot of interested folks will already own compatible ones. At least at first they'll only be available from FS in the states but of course I'll work with shops like Tactical-Kit to bring it to the UK if the desire is there and the opportunity arises. If there's desire in the market then more colours will be shortly forthcoming and I have lots of ideas for my own harnesses/back straps and expander wings etc to compliment the wide variety already available out there that are compatible from the likes of Ferro, Spiritus and Haley. NB - There is actually room for 5 x SMG mags like MP5 and ARP9. I'll be gradually talking about and showing all the many features in depth and close up over the coming weeks on my business IG/FB page so feel free to follow if you'd like to know more: https://www.instagram.com/f9gear_/ https://www.facebook.com/F9-Gear-105213495349920
