I feel like a pack horse, I must admit, and that's with an empty breadbag. I've got a feeling that NCOs probably didn't have pistols - in which case, an expensive error. :?

Don't want everyone to turn up with one, do we!

Well if someone has one and knows how to blow it, I guess we need to know!

Ermmm...

How about getting yourself some Y-straps and belt hooks - your belt is way too low with all that hanging off it and it will be very uncomfortable (plus you can't get into your lower jacket pockets).

Hmm.... I did think about it. Only trouble is, I wouldn't want the straps interfering with my insignia.... what to do....? :?

They do - live with it ! :lol:
CWs right , the belt would be better on hooks and supported with straps .

AFAIK pistols were largely personal purchases anyway but regardless - this is airsoft, if you want a pistol then stick one on your belt!

On parade there were probably rules, in the field I suspect anything went . If you want one , get one , just don't dangle it down the front of your goolies like a bloody sporan ( not naming any names :lol: )

PS You'll find the standard soft one hangs too low, you need ot sew it up to holdit high on the belt.

Yep it hangs too low :? . The top of the holster should be level with the top of the belt, (but they always hang down you say) hence the stitch the loop to the holster bit .

I appreciate the ammo puches are in the way , but typically they would be worn over the Left front pocket, not on the hip like the slack yanks .

PS Having had another look , your gaitors are on thewrong way round, buckles should be on the outside with the straps facing backwards !

See never ask an opiunion from a smartarse !

Well I just got my 2nd pattern denison smock from replicaters and I'm very happy with it so far. It just needs bit of weathering... not much. The stitching is good, poppers are fine and the zip works okay!

I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can.

The smock was
