WISPORT
We ’ ve made it pretty clear that we like the packs created by Polish brand WISPORT , and again at Military1st we ’ ve noticed that they have some new colourways available in the different pack models to match your loadout , and one model in particular has caught our eye for those summer weekenders we ’ re all looking forward to so much , and that ’ s the CRAFTER . Designed for one or twoday long trips , this new generation of single compartment tactical backpacks has a lightweight and durable PU coated ( for added flexibility , impact and water resistance ) Cordura construction , high functionality and innovative technology . The main feature of this unique backpack is a “ U ” shaped clamshell zip opening , which allows for quick and easy access to the main compartment from the front . Wide and ergonomically shaped shoulder straps , together with padded waist belt help to distribute weight evenly and relieve the pressure from the back . The belt can easily be detached from the rucksack which allows the use of modular belt kit together with a tactical vest or plate carrier . Multiple quick-release buckles allow the backpack to be quickly dropped on the ground when required . The pack is also fully CamelBak compatible , with an easily accessible zipped hydration compartment , and fully MOLLE compatible thanks to webbing placed around and inside the pack , and also comes with waterproof rain cover hidden inside easily accessible bottom compartment . The CRAFTER ( packed properly !) is big enough to fit everything you need without having to dig through a massive main compartment , and it performs exceptionally well in virtually all conditions .
TAIWANGUN
Moving on to airsoft-specific items the next things on our list of “ good kit ” are actually re-issues that we haven ’ t seen around for a little while , but we ’ re very glad to see that the guys at www . taiwangun . com have found more of the MAG Midcap magazine box sets ! We still have a bunch of the MAG 100BB AK74 magazines in the test pool , and after over ten years of both skirmish and test use we have to say that they have stood up better then virtually any other magazine of this style that we ’ ve come across ! Not only are they sturdy and dependable , feeding in just about every AK-AEG we ’ ve ever come across , but they ’ re also a far better “ Bakelite ” colour than most too , and a box of five of these will set you up nicely for most games ! MAG also offer box sets of other styles of magazines , and once again the 130BB M16 shorties ( box of seven ) have served a number of us very well for “ Namsoft ” over the years ; whilst these haven ’ t had the abuse that the AK74 mags have , they ’ ve still given great service , and the polymer shells have stood up to abuse really well . If you ’ re in need of multiple midcaps in one go , then the MAG boxes are excellent value for money !
VORSK
Of course if you ’ re buying magazines you ’ re going to need high-quality BBs to fill them with , and although we did announce this on the website quite recently we thought we ’ d give a bit more detail on the newlyreleased VORSK BB range ! VORSK have entered the BB market with one of the most comprehensive BB ranges that we ’ ve seen to date , comprising 5 styles , across 8 weight classes , with 6 different size options , resulting in 96 unique products that come beautifully and precisely packaged !
Instead of being forced to buy over 3,000 BBs for each desired weight , VORSKs new , smaller container sizes allow you to buy exactly what you need : 2,000 . 25g and 1,100 . 25g Tracer BBs for your AEG ? No problem ! A small bottle of . 36g for your DMR ? Easy ! The convenience of having smaller bottles gives the ability to carry them onto the field to match your choice of primary , with the 2,000 BB bottle fitting nicely into a 40mm grenade pouch . Lower size options also give players more choice when preparing their loadouts . Of course , VORSK also want to provide for players looking to purchase in bulk . The 3,600 BB bottles offer additional savings when compared to
