The 'What have you just bought' Thread

What's the trick to loading the mags, because OMFG these are some fiddly little bitches to get BBs into!
I'm not familiar with the VFC gas mags, but MWS mags are similar when new. Speedloader with a pistol adapter works, or the TM XL loader that has the adapter attached. 

Or if you have an Odin, look to see if Airtac have a VFC adapter?

Airtac do have one on their website, but it was out of stock every time I've looked.  (Edit.. sorry that's the 416 version I looked for, d'oh)

I don't know whether it's just luck, or some sort of psychological thing, but my Geoff's 0.40g BBs seem to load more easily.  They usually get loaded via my larger capacity (200rd?) Viper speedloader with that eBay adapter fitted (glued on), whereas I usually load other weight ammo via a 90rd loader, using the included adapter (also glued on).

Here's the 3D printed thing that helps at least a bit ...

.. but if course that's specific for my gun.  Might be worth checking with the seller for a G3 version

A stupid amount of Osprey MkIV body armour,including pelvec protection (for Sat nights only). I'll not be buying the hard armour plates for this but did buy front & back body inserts (the extremeties will need to settle for cut up roll mat).

I treated myself to a cheapo rifle case too as the bergan I used at my last/first skirmish was a bit bulky & awkward.

Just a pair of the wellco jungle boots I posted about in the reccomended boots thread and a pair of soldier 95 trousers. So far I'm happy with them  especially as the total cost was £45 including postage

 
Do let us know how it is.
Once I get everything, in about two weeks!

It'll be my first magnifier so I really don't know what to expect and, to be fair, I'll probably use it once or twice then throw everything in a drawer.

Great bits of kit, I use their patrol bag for work and I’ve been eyeing up one of these to potentially replace my Peli rifle case - unfortunately I think this is a bit too big ?

It is BIG?

Later in the evening after I placed the order I started looking at the smaller SOMS, then I got the “Dispatched” email shortly after.

TBH, considering the sale price , it was a no brainier for me as I’ve wanted one for ages ?

 
Me mum's finally proud of my airsofting ?

Very comfy. Bit on the tight side and that's entirely the shirts fault and not all the pies and beer shut up.
