We’re gearing up for some dedicated kit reviews –
take a sneak peek at some of the stuff we’ve got on test
SOUTH AFRICAN ASSAULT VEST IN ACU £26.99
The South African Assault Vest is an affordable, no-nonsense load-carrying solution.
The vest comes complete with nine pouches, including a dump pouch on either
side and back pouch for hydration kit. The shoulders are fully adjustable and have
padding on the inside.
It is not a modular vest but does have all the pouches you could need, with a
double mag pouch, two single mag pouches, grenade pouches and big pouches on either
hip capable of carrying all sorts of equipment you might need in the field. We can even fit
our camera in there, with the lens in the pouch on the other side.
The lower pouches can be a bit fiddly if you’ve got bulky objects in the upper
ones, but not impossible to use. With everything adjusted the vest gives nice weight
distribution and is plenty comfortable for a day’s warfare.
A staggering bit of kit when you consider the price, the South African Assault Vest
is also available in black, olive, coyote, DPM, Flecktarn, Desert, CCE, Woodland and
Czech Woodland (prices £23.99-£34.99) – so something to suit whatever your
style!
We’ll be taking this into the field very soon – look out for a more in-depth
review in a future issue!

NCS 3-9X40 RUBBER ARMOURED MIL-DOT SCOPE £64.95
This is the first time we’ve seen an NCStar scope – and what a cracker it is. A future
article will take a closer look at the NCStar range, but for now we wanted to show you
this rugged, balanced and affordable optic.
Ideal for the SDM or sniper role, the Mil-Dot reticle allows for quick and precise
range adjustments once you’ve had a bit of practice. Windage and elevation
adjustment is good for +/-40MOA and 3-9x magnification means there’s not an
outdoor airsoft scenario this can’t handle.
Tough rubber armour protects both internal and external components while hightech lens coating technology makes for anti-reflective optical surfaces all round –
perfect for you sneaky snipers. Plus red or green illuminated reticle makes for easier
low-light shooting. If you’re looking for a dedicated optic, don’t overlook NCStar.
