I know. Unfortunately irony/sarcasm doesn’t come over too well in print/black and white… ?

They’ve even sent you the wrong cocking lever to boot - says it’s for an A2 on the packaging…

You think it’s heavy now, wait til it gets wet… ?

Tried that, not really bonded with the ShadowFoam… ? I’ve got carpet tape to try and then No More Nails, but that’s the nuclear option.

@Jez_Armstrong how have you secured the ShadowFoam into the case so the entire layer doesn’t just fall out of under the weight of the kit? Nearly finished all my cutting and shaping and thinking about how to fix it in - double sided carpet tape, spray glue, something else…?

ShadowFoam sell their stuff on Amazon pre-cut to fit cases as well, eg: https://amzn.eu/d/dEnt3cy

Still a work in progress…

I’ll post some photos of my case tomorrow - similar layout to @Jez_Armstrong’s - I cut a couple of slots through the base of the foam and then thread the strap through so it wraps around the underside of the foam then meets back up top and buckles/velcroes over whatever item it’s securing.

From Amazon - roll of Velcro-style tape and buckles. Cut the tape to your own desired sizes. https://amzn.eu/d/asfvnpt

@Jez_Armstrong sweet, cheers pal. What’s the strap set you’ve got for securing the kit?

As per title really - what’s everybody using? As much as I’d like a genuine Peli, even second hand 1720 and 1750 cases are still a bit much, budget circa £100 plus or minus a few quid. Looking to line with Shadowfoam, fit 2x CQB length AR platforms with EoTechs, 6-8 mags, 1x Glock 17, 2x pistol...

Probably more of a want than a need (although, isn’t everything in airsoft a “need”, at least when justifying to OH…?), these nifty aluminium kit hangers from Luminae - plate carrier and Cobra buckle equipped belt nicely stored on hanging rail in the garage:

O’Tom tick twister great for removing ticks - there’s always a risk of squeezing too hard with tweezers and leaving the tick’s head under the skin, leading to infection. Smidge, another top recommendation - made from natural ingredients, kind to skin and plastic toy gnus and smells nice. The...

TBF, if you look through enough reference pics, you’ll see people only wearing one, on the knee they take when shooting, but you’ll also see plenty wearing two.

Nah, no significance to it being on the ankle other than convenience - straps at the right tightness to hold it in place on the knee then, when needed, easy to pull up onto the joint.

We did the same in Afg with knee pads - just a convenient way to store it, when not wanting it in place on the joint. Heat, sweat, sand and tight elastic straps makes them mega uncomfortable if worn on the knee all the time.

I’m indifferent to getting ghillie’d up, done my time lying on the ground observing and trying not to be seen, and am quite happy running around but with a bit of sneakiness, employing fieldcraft and tactical awareness, every now and then to ambush the unsuspecting.  It is annoying when sniper...

Although some people expect ghillies to make you instantly invisible, as opposed to simple, good fieldcraft - I was wearing nothing other than normal combats and a helmet and, with careful fieldcraft and patience, managed to ambush groups regularly, they were getting within 10 metres and not...

Been a few months due to work, school exams, date conflicts, etc, but finally got a day at Adrenalin North Yorks with the boy. A torrential downpour half an hour before start didn’t put the good turnout off, as the sun came out and the winds dried everything bar some of the usual soggy bits...

Always been a big fan of jungle knots over bungees - easy to set up and release in a hurry and no risk of taking your eye out at 0300 when the sadistic DS decide you’ve had enough beauty sleep. JetBoil, or equivalent, definitely the way ahead - there’s a reason British Tactical et al sell so...
