..: Loadout :..

I’ve split the Loadout into several sections. My preferred play style is woodland, where play moves to an interior objective or set of buildings I will set down my AEG and drop to pure sidearm(s). As such, I’ve not gone into any detail about a separate loadout for dedicated CQB.

The first section covers my current primary & backup with the rationale behind my choices as well as preferred accessories.

Subsequent parts will arrive over the next few weeks covering secondaries, pyros & my tactical kit.

I’m really exicted about pulling together a new loadout with the help of our wonderful new sponsor – Fujin Airsoft. I’ve been using a MFH Czech Woodland SAAV over the last fews, and whilst I’ve been very pleased in general with both the camouflage as well as the carrying capacity, I do have some concerns. Its not been an easy decision to go back to the drawing board in this, but as I’ve stated my play style is hard on kit & if something is failure prone it has to go. There’ll be a more detailed look at this vest later in the year, but suffice to say I already had issues with the bulky nature leading to problems getting through particularly tangled terrain. The failure in regard to its build quality was the final straw.

My loadouts aren’t intended to be a detailed review of what I use, those will appear in the dedicated section.

One last word about my choice of primary – I have contacted the manufacturer with regards to the issues I have encountered to give them a right of reply.

I feel it would be remiss of me to at least not touch on the problems here & until I hear otherwise I cannot in all honestly recommend a purchase from Specna Arms. There is evidence of poor QA as well as entire batches with unskirmishable internals out of the box covering both their “starter” Core/Flex models and “higher end” Edge ones.

Externally, part failures have left me looking to third party options to fix, including one which had it not happened whilst I had been on the site range, would have rendered the gun useless. This has left me having carried out the repairs with the unenviable plan of replacing it as my primary workhorse.
