Couple of quick points, first off try routing the V-lite UNDER the bungees on your cover. The cheap ones have a habit of delaminating from the velcro backer when they get hot. Also, try angling the light over your left ear downwards. They're relatively short throw and quite directional so if you want to use it to see where you're going you'll have to look down a lot, a bit of downward angle will help you maintain your forward field of vision (although I would suggest the mandible may well obstruct your downward field of view anyway).

Firstly - excellent choice of tunes. Secondly - it's as much about matching the impedance as it is amplification. The headphone output of a p[hone is quite low impedance to match up with normal headphones, COMTACs and the like will need an amplifier of some kind, not necessarily a PTT but you could do a lot worse than to talk to John at JCi Communications https://www.facebook.com/Jci-Comms-222286948363715/

New patch!

I'd say you're fine on the colours. Rangers were wearing 3 colour DCU with choc chip helmet covers which is what you have.

A rail mount torch will fit on the rail sections at the front end of the handguard, if that places it too far forward to reach the controls then a remote tape switch could be fitted to the top rail or (less ideal) you could fit and offset mount to let you attach the torch further back but still place it to the side.

Ha! The ongoing chase of ever decreasing circles eh? That said, if it is new old stock I've not really had any issues with mag compatibility with any of my Maxx hops (using PTS EPMs and, rather surprisingly, Nuprol mids).

The TE was the model before the current one (ME) so if it's an actual knock off not just old stock then it's based on an older design. That said, I have a genuine Maxx TE hop unit and it's been great for me.

Yeah @L3wisD what's the deal? Hmmm? I'd say that you could get 3 guns in that package. WHAT AREN'T YOU TELLING US? WE WANT THE TRUTH DAMMIT!!!!

I have their MK12 suppressor and it's LOVELY!

Check with your airline, some are fine with it.

I always found that if it was loose enough to not hit the release it was flopping about like a dick in a shirtsleeve! Hence I moved to hard retention/kydex holsters. If you're running the holster loose it would be worth getting a lanyard for the pistol.

Be aware that those universal holsters are bad for tweaking the mag release and losing your mags.

Core are plastic not metal, but yes, comparable to a combat machine if not slightly better being a bit newer.

Errrm...OK?

I'm surprised they didn't mark it as a commercial sample or somesuch. Mind you, the insurance will bump up the fees too.

Super l33t old skool coolness courtesy of @heroshark!

If that's the case, I doubt you'd need the extra retention you'd (allegedly) get from a polymer mag holder like that. Esstac kydex pouches are great but you could do worse than look at the standard open top WAS pouches. They have a grippy liner material and I've certainly never lost a mag out of one.

Aluminium isn't great as a conductor and isn't going to stand up to much mechanical abuse in that application. Better to get a ring crimp like @Hudson suggested.

+1 on the OPS covers. They're bloody good for the money!

Yeah, he isn't everyone's cup of tea! I met him in person at Red Alert and have been playing with him (oo-er) for a while. He's alright, just liked to wind people up on the internet (and sometimes took it a bit far). He's actually selling off most of his airsoft gear if you now anyone in the market for a tricked up SRS with a load of bits and bobs.

Odd. It's an ASG M11 with 2 mags and a suppressor. From old site favourite @Duff in fact!

+1 for AltaFlex pads. Before I moved to trousers with built in pads these were my go-to and they never ended up around my ankles. Top tip - try crossing the straps over in an X behind your knee.

New pew for gangsta shit
