5.11 CAMS. If you can't fit it in one of those you need to cut down on the amount of shit you carry. https://www.uktactical.com/product/511-cams-30-bag-ranger-green-16926

My wishlist still has all the gear but a lot of the gun parts are "item unavailable" so handguards, stocks etc. Sights and mounts are still pretty much there, lasers and lights are a bit hit and miss (probably depending on what else the store sells)

Seems that Aliexpress has banned all airsoft items! That explains why there's bugger all decent gear to be had there now!

As far as the mag goes, any drum mag that works with an M4/M16 would be fine. For example https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-1200rnd-electric-drum-magazine-for-m4-ar15-aeg

OK, two things - 1) why does it have to be a straight pull and 2) two of your choices are semi-auto and not bolt action.

No.

The pinion will either be a push fit or it will have a grubscrew which will no doubt be embalmed in threadlock. If it's a push fit you'll want one like the "large vice" version here https://www.ant-supplies.uk/assorted-tools/motor-pinion-gear-tool.html because the type you have linked to will only pull the pinion off, it won't help putting it back on.

This has just come into my guardianship (best mate has just upped sticks and fucked off to Australia so I'm "looking after it" for him).

Thanks to an imminent inheritance I will be able to pay off my mortgage early. Obviously I've made all the right noises about investing the now disposable income wisely but we all know I'll be going through my wants list and ticking them off one by one. Will power is overrated.

Anything that can take placards or inserts.

What do you need from your chest rig? How many mags will you carry, do you need it to carry different types of mag, do you carry pyro or comms?

They're priced that way for rarity value not form/function. Taking the piss though. Did you warn them they were opening themselves to ridicule?

It's not just you...

Ducati were bought by Lamborghini who are owned by Audi which is part of the Volkswagen Group. And their electrics are still made in Italy. Although the injection of some German cash does seem to have sorted them out a bit.

You mean VAG...

A big ass bag to carry it all in?

Weird how the guy in the foreground has a mirrored rifle but the other two don't!

Have you tried any of the fixes suggested in the comments of that video?

I fully saw that question flash across your face, it was brilliant!

Use it, see what it doesn't do then fix that. No point fixing something if it isn't actually broken!

It's the toothbrush foregrip that does it for me!

I do like to keep people guessing...

Personally I'd say get something with a bit more grunt if you're planning on using higher capacity LiPos. That one tops out at 2.5A so anything over 2500mA/h is going to take upwards of an hour to charge. I would suggest the SkyRC S65/Turnigy Accucell S60
