Hi

Just converted from paintball and gone all US Marines but made a novice error - bought the 5 mag pouch but my hi-caps don't fit. D'oh!

Can anyone tell me if the TM 190 round mags will fit my webbing?

Ta!

Good on you, hope you enjoy your move up from paintball!

You can use hi-cap mags in the 5 mag pouches - you will need to wrap the flap round the mag and popper it closed (rather over the top enclosing the mag). You should find it grips firmly enough even though the mag is sticking beyond the pouch. Heh, that's how they did it for real!

Edit: Your mags won't be protected from crap so take care!

I have the long mags and the 5 cell pouch for my marine gear too, this is what Chomley was describing looks like! :)

Nah thats good mate, I wont be the only Nugget shouting "corpsman" when I get shot, and then every1 looking at my blankly!

And yeah 101 has been done to death, but have a look at the Allied section of the forums. I am trying to create a US Army Group, where we can all get together similar kits and form some sort of team, rather than an unorganised rabble :lol:

I agree, 101 and Army Rangers are overwhelmingly the uniforms people go for thanks to SPR, BoB etc. My kit is US 29th Infantry division, who fought with the Rangers at Omaha, and there are a lot of guys on here who do 1st ID, which is encouraging.

Yeah, the 29th and 2nd Rangers took the western zones of Omaha Beach whilst the 1st Infantry Division took on the Eastern Zones of the beach.
