The 'What have you just bought' Thread

I recently got the PLB belt in Coyote to go with a new loadout. Had an OD one before and really liked it. The belts are comfortable with loads of MOLLE space. My only niggles with them are that the buckle strap could be thicker and the buckle itself is unnecessarily fiddly. I picked up the shooters belt pack and, even though I'm not a fan of the mag pouches, it's great value.

I saw that belt on UKtactical and thought the same too, but to be honest I mainly want the polymer fast mag pouches (6 maybe 8 ) and they don't do a belt with that many poly pouches and at £20 a pop for each poly mag I thought it's getting silly... 

Incidentally I do have a FRV shooters belt and that has a metal COBRA buckle and cost £50 during the black Friday weekend so I thought with running with that but I have a feeling It may not be wide enough for the WAS poly mags?

interested to see how it goes, it's gonna be hit hard with active brake and precocking- i am not a kind man to motors.

gonna have a very similar build to my akm too, so a good side by side comparison.

tbh i'm glad someone's taking a serious go at bringing brushless to the airsoft world, i mean brushed motors were old hat in rc when i started and that was over a decade ago.

but then this is a hobby where nimh's still exist (nicads even)......

Looks like they'll attach to anything PALS compatible so they'd work, lot of plastic overhang top and bottom though.

If your heart's set then far be it from me, but those are gonna stick out a fair bit compared to pretty much any nylon-only pouch through both the construction of the pouch bodies and the attachment system.  You'll end up as quite a wide load and if you went to a more old school bigger/thicker belt to mount big, bulky pouches like those the problem will just be exacerbated.  Personally whenever I've tried solid plastic pouches before I found they rattled against each other really badly, were very annoyingly bulky and a surprising hindrance to movement given the size and lack of flexibility in both their construction and mounting.  If you look at the pros it's super game-y competition guys that use kydex and the like, military have tried it then always gone back, but obviously that might work if you're mainly playing a fairly open indoor site.

Just thoughts.

The WAS poly mags are standard 3 MOLLE rows high. If you're after them in Coyote let me know

I never thought of the extra bulk of the poly mags. I’ve just had another look and noticed the extra thicker body construction of them. There is a lot more bulk and overhang that’s for sure and looking at the photos they do stick out a tad more. And if one rolls with a single point sling I expect ones RIF will be clanking against them too. Food for thought.... I play exclusively woodland ( for the moment ) so no speedy type running around lark.

Bought more shit for my M4s, in a desperate attempt to fix the compression:

2x FPS Type D Cylinders (300-400mm barrels, I want to keep them overvolumed to push them heavies)

2x FPS bearing piston heads

2x FPS o-ring nozzles

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.

 
Took the plunge on a Jefftron NGRS fet.

Took a plunge on the MK zero's last time and that hasn't broken yet, so fingers crossed

 
Just arrived

A sweary “C” word patch from Luke at Negative Airsoft 

I can no longer post pictures here anymore ??‍♂️

 
I bought some radiation detectors.  In my local place the level of radiation can increase so sometimes I used such tools for checking it level. But before buying I read article here about difference between geiger counter and personal detector.

You should have a lot of fun with those guns.

I cant comment on the druganov, as i havent used one,   but the SMC9 and AAP01 are both really good guns with great range and decent kick for GBB guns..

Actually that reminds me...   *proceeds to dig my own SMC out and start getting it cleaned and lubed ready for first game back....  whenever that will be*
