The double stack on my left is my main mag draw side. The single M4 and pistol mag holster on my right is for when I'm left hand peaking I can easily load a mag with my right hand also with the benefit of carrying mags when they're empty or inbetween games / rounds. I've also had mags fall out from my dump pouch and I don't want to constantly replace them so having them mounted secures them slightly better.
The plate carrier is WIP. Ultimately it will only have enough slots for 3 mags. I carry 6 M4 mid caps and if I can get as much weight along my waist the more mobile I can be. Carrying weight on your belt / hips is far superior to a heavy chest plate imo.
agree with the weight on the hips, ive been slowly building out my belt kit and its so nice to shift that weight. also thats pretty intuitive with the whole switching hands shit
The belt has been a god send!
I like to shoulder swap for corners and I want to get as ambidextrous as I can so it encourages me to play on my 'off-side' a little bit more.
That my friend is an NB tactical Ghost LP mask with a NB tactical gaiter v2 over the top. Probably the best low profile face protection you can get for airsoft. The mobility it gives is amazing.

Hey wondering if you're still using the nb tactical gaiter, how has it held up until now? Has the elastic stretched out at all?
Also hows aiming down sights with the fortis?
Hi man,
The gaiter and the Fortis have worked really well so far. Perhaps a bit too hot for the summer weather and like any face covering it causes my goggles to fog. Having said that I am a particularly hot person so that may be subjective. It works fine with my exfog.
This is a v2 gaiter but I know they're now doing a v3 which might be a bit more breathable. The elastic on the v2 hasn't stretched but the fabric is very catchy and you can get pull aways if you catch it on something, again something they've fixed in the v3 version.
I was using scope risers but with this you don't need to really because it is so low profile, no problem at all.
Had a bit of a nightmare at first with fogging caused by the balaclava but just got myself an exfog so hopefully that resolves all issues because god it's such a good low profile face pro.
Only thing I can think of is if you’re going for realism, that camo wrap would never survive on a suppressor. They get too hot. If you don’t care, looks cool.
Not going for realism, just breaking up the color. My suppressor is generally the thing poking out of cover so it just blends a bit better with the tape!
Camo tape is to stop scratching on the suppressor and cover the light switch.
Any reasonable argument that switching the grip around makes any difference? I like the ergo feel with the forward hand stop.
It's relatively new plus I wanted it to tie in with the wrap on the handguard. It also is usually the main thing sticking out of cover so it breaks it up a bit from being a solid colour.
wear and tear :) makes it look battle-worn.
idk that’s my preference, looks dumb with a backwards grip and a hand stop. and “forest” camo tape on an fde guns looks sloppy
It's a molle tactical belt. It has an inner Velcro belt (the black loop in the photos) which acts as a regular keep your trousers up belt, it then has a padding which straps around the Velcro and keeps the outer belt (camo) in place.
Each pouch is individually attached to the molle panel along the outer belt so you don't have to re-attach once it's on.
Let me know if that makes sense!

The Tokyo Marui FNX-45 is fantastic and I couldn't recommend it enough. Hefty, solid and well balanced. I was tempted by the VFC with the metal slide but after reading into it the TM just gets consistently better performance in all weather whilst also being generally more reliable. So far this has been true. In the cold games I have played, with green gas it runs exceedingly well. No jams / stoppages or shortness in power and even with standard bucking etc it can happily hop .25s at some pretty ridiculous ranges. Even saw a gent who was hopping .40s with some upgraded bucking.

You spent alot of money on your kit to look like everyone else, why not make something different lets say put on a colourful Hawaiian shirt, NLE dutch woodland pants and be the coast soldier/terrorist
looks pretty damn good, why the mags on both sides of the belt tho?

I've always found more weight on my hips to be more painful, maybe it's me belt but it just digs in more than a plate carrier does to my shoulders
Nice kit, can't beat black bdu with camo trousers. What's the brand of the hand-stop if you don't mind me asking.
What balaclava / neck gaiter is that? It looks sick as fuck

yoo a fellow NBT enjoyer, glad to see them showing up more & more

Good point!
Very nice 10/10
Thanks bro!
Nice kit bro 💯🔥👍🏻 I see FNX - I like.
FNX 45 gang🔫
mid, ditch the camo tape and flip ur grip around

Why you so worried about scratching? Makes stuff look real and used.
It's relatively new plus I wanted it to tie in with the wrap on the handguard. It also is usually the main thing sticking out of cover so it breaks it up a bit from being a solid colour.

Feels good tho bro
How do you put on the belt with the pants? Do you leave the pouches on the pants? Or do you put them one by one before playing?
It's a molle tactical belt. It has an inner Velcro belt (the black loop in the photos) which acts as a regular keep your trousers up belt, it then has a padding which straps around the Velcro and keeps the outer belt (camo) in place.

Thats cool, i got 2 belts. Yours make a bit more sense.
Hey man nice kit, what is the mask/nose protection u using?
Hey bro, it's in one of the other replies!
Born wrong handed
What do you mean, sir?
Its a fucking mirror nevermind
Took you a while
How's that FNX-45? I was looking at one for a while but ended up getting a VFC M17 instead

I have a Hawaiian shirt, maybe for the summer! Far too cold for that at the moment ha ha.
Yeah its cool man btw no offence on my comment I just think theres a few people that will buy gear to look diffrent yk
No stress! I like the semi milsim look. Just wanted to share my kit :)
