That guy kinda looks like you....

That looks cool.... How many mags it hold?

private.G

Looks brilliant. Arrgh it wont work with g36 mags, or will?

Puding

its very bulky for only holding 3 mags, think someone quoted 150usd or something like that per unit, not shore on that thought can not find the post/site i read it on

Masada

Ya shouldn't really need anymore than 3 mags on one side of your body.

And what with the increased interest in milsim type games with a lot of players lately, these would be the perfect tool., im gonna look into ordering one myself.,:)

Meh. Looks a little bulky and gimmicky to me. About 4 mags in normal holders would take up half the space.
Quick reload is great, but not at the cost of weight / bulk IMO. Especially more so with midcaps vs hicaps

Will wait until I see one 'in the flesh' before I pass personal judgement on it though.

They look pretty sweet to be honest. :cool:

jeeze its like something from terminator....or the 21 century...oh...wait...



completely pointless, totally unnecessary, over the top for airsoft...therefore I WANT ONE!!! LOL


i wonder can you access the mags if it jams?? would be really scary running around thumping the plastic to get a mag out....also i would imagine they will make them part of the body armour thereby reducing the weight...very smart development...

sorry but buying the latest gear is not 'mil sim' at all, milsim is how you play the game more than anything else not what gear you go an buy, for me its bulky adds far to much to the chest area for my likely imagine trying to crawl, its far from milsim its just being a gerdo , for me simple open top pouches are far more practical and use friendly:




my 2 cents

NakedDex

It's Gucci, I want it. Simple as. I'll probably rarely use it since I use magpuls and ranger plates on my mags but, from my curious engineer standpoint of "ooooh how does that work", I'd get one. If nothing else I'd leave it on my back to dispense spare mags to those I'm playing with. Apart from a radio pouch, there's not a lot else there anyway.

Besides, it's airsoft. Where's the fun of it without funky gadgets?

a magazine for magazines.. Outstanding!

can see this being a great addition for any support gunner.. Or for any gunner for that matter..

a little bit of bad news...looks like military procurement is absorbing all the stock..

looking at the great 'clone' accessories rsov are stocking, hopefully wont be long til there's a version made of this.

NakedHedgehog

I thought I read a review of this on MilspecMonkey a while ago - wasn't that great. Too bulky, too cumbersome to use.

I think it would slow down my reloading rather than speeding it up. Open pouches with a mag pull (or even ducktape and paracord) and it's fast enough.

The only place I could this being useful at all is mounted to your back where you have relatively limited access to.


Gimmicky I'd say.

I wouldn't even call it geardo.

No piece of gear is "milsim" but carrying rediculous amounts of ammo certainly isnt milsim, as i said, theres no need for anymore than 3 mags on on side of your body and yes, you could fit way more mags with normal pouches but why would you?
I dont see why you couldnt crawl either, the guy in the video is prone with it on and it doesnt stick out anymore than some of the other regualr vests ive seen, 2 stanag mags in a pouch for instance is thicker than this unit.,

where did needing to carry more mags come into it? all i said for me there is easy more low profile ways to carry your mags, and the guy in the video does not move, i would not want to be crawling hugging the ground along a firetrap with that on my front,

And what with the increased interest in milsim type games with a lot of players lately, these would be the perfect tool.

it was your comment that sounded like you where saying that equipment denoted milsim, sorry if i read to much into it

but it depends on your personal option i know people who can not stand chest rig where as other swear by them, each to there own

the reason why milsim is growing with the players is because you can only run around like a mad thing shooting everything that moves for so long before you get board,besides airsoft is ment to be milsim why do you think the guns are exact replicas and we wear military clothing its to get as real as possible without dieing ha.

Masada

You explain that like as if i dissagree.,

lol

That guy looks like Ritchie with an enormous Pez dispenser stuck on his side.

To be fair, many of us have trouble keeping our AEGs running reliably for a whole game, never mind automated mag dispensers and what have you. I'd see it as another potential point of failure, although it might be justified for a support gunner.

To be fair most of us thought Richie was a Pez dispenser before the advent of the FAST system.

Masada

WTF is a pez dispenser? and that guy doesnt look anything like me.,

DisasterIRL

OMG you never had PEZ! :P

There you go:


They are the same as the mag dispenser only the dispense something that you need far quicker! CANDY:p

Basically made for fat kids who couldn't open the packets because of there sausage fingers:D

Masada
