Finally got myself a brain bucket that fits my oversized melon

Red Alert last weekend, first run out with my Arktis split front chest rig. Worked pretty well, knock off SPUD pouches were...OK. Fine for M4 mags but a bit of a struggle with G3 ones.

Recent-ish pic of my CAR-15 and delta force kit. Shortly after I went up to my elbows in a ditch and got the gun thouroughly soaked. Had to give it a good airing out in the sun on the dashboard for the rest of the gameday!🤣

MWS GBBR summer assault load out  

[Impulse]

Super lightweight challenge-mode kit. No ghillie, no camo, very limited rifle ammo (4x 10rd mags for the rifle)

 

Upside is it's incredibly lightweight and super breathable; that Austrian summer kit is so nice. Got spare ammo and gas in the backpack so I'm not going back to the safe zone too much, but being limited to 40 shots with the rifle before having to reload is great for honing the skill to pick your shots and be accurate.

Cheapo Viper plate carrier .... going for a Triple Frontier / 13 Hours level of minimalistic loadout.

You have mind-bending daemons from the Warp, foul xenos that can rip a tank apart like tissue paper, and esoteric alien weapons that were perfected before the first cell split in two on Holy Terra.

 

I have a pointy stick, and my faith in the God Emperor of mankind.

Image 1 'could be me', image 2 & 3 is me...

 

Funnily enough I'm not keen on getting my pic taken.

This is an old pic I found where I tested a loadout.  Bought a cheap boiler suit that reminded me of something... 😉

Not used in a game tho

Surely that calls for a team up?

I think it does.

The Curse of this hobby is a crushing inability to stop cocking about with your kit .... 

 

Opinions : Should I add a Dangler pouch on the front or resist the urge and leave it as is?

There's two schools of thought; add a specific pouch if you have a need for it and ONLY if you have a need for it, or put any pouches you want on because airsoft is fun and who says what you can or can't have. Many would argue that the average skirmish game needs neither trauma shears or a bundle of rope but it's up to you how you play toy guns in the woods. No-one else.

 

Personally, I like a dangler pouch because it helps protect the middle age spread but also gives me somewhere to stash pyro, or keys or whatever other minor bits I decide I might need.

Agree with @Lozart, ditch the unnecessary stuff, for example you won't need a tourniquet in game, getting rid gives you space for another mag pouch, you'll always need mags in game.

Same for the shears, but I'd keep the VIP light, look cool & have genuine uses in night games.

Ditch the rope, any possible benefit can similarly be achieved with 30 ft of paracord stashed in your pack.

I would go with a dangler pouch, empty weighs nothing but gives some protection, but if you need extra carrying capacity without wanting to access your pack, it's there ready to use.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that you run your pistol & extras on your belt ?, I don't get on well with weight on the belt, being a chunky monkey I'm constantly having to pull me kecks up, so if I was running your rig I'd be tempted to run a serpa or similar on the chest, in place of the rarely used rubber knife, which could be moved to an inverted position on the offside shoulder strap.

Just my tuppence worth ?🤔

[Hellfish]

Half of the stuff on there is only for looks.

 

The trauma shears might be a bit much and the blade of the knife is glued in the sheath so is useless, but both it and the TQ look as cool as the VIP light imho..... And everyone knows that Airsoft is as much about looking cool and dressing up as it is the actual shooting. 😁

 

Anyway ..... Dangler pouch inbound 😁😏
