It looks like some brand of MAP, but not sure if it's made by Eagle.

Ok thought I'd try to post a real loadout and try to get some feedback on it. I tried it out and it worked great. Still can't do a complete reload with the P90 on the run yet. I plan on using this with my German H-Harness(Utility+Bpack). Utility for spent Mp5 and Utility(molle) for new. There is also a plate inside the front to stop sagging. Everything has a use. All Standards and getting a box of 30rd MP5 lowcaps.

2 P90 Pouches
3 BH Pop Flare-easier than standard P90 pouches
1 Utility
2 Pistol Mag pouches(speed loaders)
1 Hydration Carrier w/o bladder

I also got some Multicam that should be here early August because its back ordered.

Thats because every last article of it went into Transformers.


Yeah, it's a good thing the military doesn't use it or there'd never be any left for airsofters! :lol:

Uchiha, what kind of plate carrier is that?

Its a Condor. There was an Officer in Discover or Times wearing the ACU version of it. I don't remember which.

I don't have any problems with it. It has a wide waist clearance so it doesn't ride or chaff. All the weight is placed on the shoulders.

Do you like all the weight on your shoulders?

It's one thing I hate about my armor.  Loaded with all 4 plates, a basic load of 5.56 and 40mm, IFAK, and other shit gets goddamn uncomfortable strapped into a Chinook for anything over an hour.  Footin' it is a bit better, but still shitty.  I'm talking about my Interceptor, btw.

I've found that rigs with an internal cummerbund that places a good portion of the load on the hips is the most comfortable way to go.  I actually run with my MARCIRAS w/plates for 3-5 miles with a good bit of comfort (on my shoulders, anyway!).  Granted, there's nowhere near as much stuff on it versus the Interceptor, but you get the idea.

I agree, that if the rig doesn't HAVE a cummerbund, then it's more comfortable loose on the sides, but then it's not very stable.

I really don't see why anyone would run an armor carrier without a cummerbund given the choice.

It does have a one. Idk why it doesn't absorb the weight but it isn't a problem. It more or less keeps the carrier from swinging. It may be due to my size the CB doesn't work right or that the CB is primarily attached to one side and to the front by a 3x5 strip of velco. But I don't think It will be a problem seeing it won't be carrying as much gear as you do.

When fully loaded you can see the velcro take nearly all the weight up front(on the shoulders). Which is why I had to put a plate in it to stop the sagging. That with the gun in the back the carrier Vs slightly. Clears the helmet easily enough.

I know it's an Airsoft forum, but I get a chuckle when people post stuff and call it a "real loadout".  :)

Next, why are you sporting an MP-5 and P/PS-90 mags?  Just what are you going to do...buttstroke your opponent?  In real life, sure...but in an airsoft game? :)

Nah its just my backup incase something happens to the P90. I don't like pistols so I don't carry one. Remember I'm not a real soldier nor claim to be, so to me its as close as I'm gonna get. I'd be buying stuff like Tactical Tailor not Condor and whatever the Hydration carrier is.

If it was a sliding stock the MP5 wouldn't be visible, but I don't have one of those. The P90 fits perfectly in there. If its simply to stupid I can always remove it, thats why I asked for criticism.

From experience, keeping your backup on you may seem like a good idea but you may end up lugging it around for nothing.
Trust your primary and leave your seccondary at the FOB or the cars during a game, but leave it ready to go. If you need to switch guns, call yourself out, go back to the cars or FOB and make the change.
Also, it would be wise to have a backup that uses the same mags as your primary, that way you dont have to switch that part of your kit out.
You are on the right track to stay away from pistols, concentrate on your primary. Your mags also seem off centered to the right a bit, are you left handed?

Nice rig. I kinda like the lack of tons of webbing. Only downside, is your CoC will know it doesn't have soft armor in it. How much did david charge you for it?
