    Realistically, what's the longest barrel worth having on a typical AEG assault rifle? Is it worth going much over 300/350mm?

     

    Less than 200mm is going to be less than accurate (yeah yeah "muh MK23" I know), as for longest? Much more than 300mm depends on what FPS you're running. I'd rather haver a decent quality 300mm in whatever length outer takes my fancy than trying to match the inner to the outer on a full length M14. Remember that the volume of the cylinder/swept area needs to match up with your barrel length whatever length you do go with.

     

    What's the use case?

    I really don't get the current fad of lazer cutting the top flap of closed magazine pouches. Half the benefit of a closed pouch is to keep the water and filth off your mags...

     

    You're right, but then most of the folks using these in anger aren't in the field for long and probably appreciate drainage over clean mags.

     

    They do make it easier to have a flap that works for multiple types and sizes of mags though.

    however, it looks like your trigger is not always resetting properly in semi.  I suspect it is some sort of trigger trolley/trigger interface/COL issue; it might be that the trigger is not engaging with the trigger trolley properly due to wear on one or both or that the COL is engaging badly with the trigger trolley.

     

     

    I agree, this doesn't seem like a battery problem to me. Most likely the trigger contact trolley or the cut off lever is a bit worn. Good opportunity to sack it all off and fit a decent ETU.

  4. Random pic that popped up on my Pinterest feed (yeah, yeah it's not all mood boards and wedding dresses), links back to some Asian Somogear reseller but I'm trying to work out what make those pouches but my Google Fu is letting me down!

    The rig looks to be Spiritus (or at least Spiritus straps) and what looks like a Spiritus Fanny Pack but those pouches are eluding me. Anyone recognise them?

    the issue i have with the one you linked also is that it has 2 reviews at 1 star?

     

    The only 1 star review I can see is from someone that didn't realise he was getting a Chinese clone of a Unity Tactical item and was upset because they didn't fit a pair of headphones they were never designed to work with. I'd take that with a hefty pinch of salt.

     

    You could of course get a set of actual Unity Tactical mounts but given what @Chev Chelios mentioned about the rails on the FMA Caiman often being out of spec that, your mileage will almost definitely vary.

    Had no idea about those airtac adapters for the M12 before though, the generic model has gone right to the top of the list of things to try cheers for that info 👌

     

    It is DEAD handy! If you're using something particularly cumbersome (one of those gert big FAL mags springs to mind) then it might be a bit unwieldy, but I've used it no problem for all of mine.

    Their stuff will definitely cost more than it should, given the extra steps it must go through with businesses in Japan that must exist purely to bulk buy and then export it, probably having to jump through many hoops along the way.  But with most of the products they last so long and perform so well vs the competition I'm honestly more than fine with that I would have to say (that's just my opinion of course).

     

    And sometimes the prices aren't even high.  F-S had 5.1 Hi-Capas on sale a few months ago for, iirc, £99, which is the price of a lot of more budget pistol brands and the TM 5.1 is arguably the most effective/efficient GBB pistol out of the box that exists.

     

    It'll be interesting to weight this offering up vs the autobot once the price is known and I think for a lot of people the battery options with favour the Evike offering, but as I mentioned earlier I've not personally loved the Odin M12 for my own purposes and my absolutely ancient TM 556 mag manual loader is still what I use the most at the moment.  This loader could finally usurp my old manual and see use every game for me personally, though given that I always use mid caps I'd still keep the manual in the bottom of the old gear bag just in case.

     

    I have an Odin and the Airtac universal adaptor. Thanks to my quite frankly annoyingly large hands I can hold the mag and wind the loader without any issues, plus as stated many times before, it'll fit in a pouch for use outside of the safe zone. As a result, any electric autoloader will only ever see the boot of my car and maybe a table in a safe zone. I don't think any of the ones I've seen of late (Laylax, Evike or TM) have been so great that I'd actually want the hassle of lugging them about. I am however seriously considering a Vanguard one.

    looks good! Initial price will be the decider for me. The current auto loaders at +£100 are just too expensive for my taste.

     

    Yeah...it's TM though innit. You'll be paying that sweet, sweet grey import tax!

    That's my favourite activity.  Soon as I hit 30 I started referencing the 00s to anyone young enough as if I were reminiscing on WW1.

     

     

    You crazy kids and your post-millennium stories.
