DPM & MTP kit thread


Recommended Posts

PLCE Minimi pouches have that, divider down the middle if you want to use 5.56 STANAG or velcro it to the side for ammo belt boxes; about the only pouch I've ever seen such a feature in. Personally though I don't find a partially empty mag pouch will case a lot of rattling (tried multiple times with full RS magazines), and if you're using plastic airsoft magazines will it's no problem what so ever.

 

On the flip side, having the dividers in some sorts of pouches makes it a total ball ache getting mags back in, ALICE is shockingly bad for this, they get caught every single bloody time without fail.

 

I may have a solution, a good friend of mine who is just starting out expressed an interest in the ops vest, which means the proceeds of selling it to him go back to getting what I originally wanted the Arktis Hybrid so not a bad deal considering the Hybrid as stated previously is supposed to be able to take big mags...

and if your after any osprey pouches i might have one or two spare *shameless plug*

Thanks for the offer, but thankfully I live near "ukkitmonster" who have a huge box full! Doing them for about £5 each. I'll just grab a couple at lunchtime, after watching the PWRR homecoming parade through town.

Which brand of box mag are you using with the Minimi?

Its a MAG brand one. From UNcompany in HK. Runs on a 9v battery and has a pressure switch on a 6" wire. Not used it yet, but its nicely built, and much more compact than the green monster you get originally.

Great Osprey vest! whats the full kit look like? and where do you guys find ospreys?

Thanks. I'll get some pictures of the full kit on the 26th, when I pickup my NI patrol pack & ESS V12 goggles. We're playing at MOD Piddington that day too, and they've got a cool little corner with sand/gravel compounds in it... great setting for DDPM. I got my osprey from "madcatcamo" on ebay. It came with the arm guards and collar, but I shan't be using those (for sale, plug plug).

Just welcomed The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment back from active service in Afghan on the streets of Tunbridge Wells. Was very moving the number of people who'd come out to clap and cheer the lads home.

 

Then the biggest suprise was walking back to work past the war memorial to see VC holder Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry greeting people. Had people stopping mid-stride when they noticed him.

 

Days like these show that national pride still lives on.

This is my platoon in Afghan, right now. Im unfortunately not with them as my current job trialling new kit means i cant deploy :(

Been talking to one of my boys, amazingly enough, one of our snipers has 41 confirmed kills and counting, theyve only been there since June.

Can they customise there own once there out there?

They are various set ups of the British L119A1 a Diemaco made Armalite varient. Standard set ups are the 16' barrel and the 10' one your talking about. Used extensively by UKSF, SFSG etc etc
