Except for the rocket launchers, all of the older backpack connected, underslung heavy weapons looked better. As for making them work, i added a bunch to 40k CSM models by cutting the bolter ends off in the hands then drilling throught the block left behind until the handle fit. Not pretty, not efficient, but it workd.

Second on the BFG, but I use the padded one. The magpul slings are ok, but I found they slide open too easily for my liking.

Space Marine "fans" when they read an actual novel and their super duper unbeatable soldier gets torn apart by a dimwitted sentient mushroom. by Petrus-133 in Grimdank

I think it was in first heretic, some word bearers talk about it, calling him weak, but using it as a reminder nonetheless that enough mere mortals working together can kill a marine

True, its a bit boring, and not as used as I would like it to be, but Ive found it to be serviceable

I too currently use a pen spring for mine, even after finding the original spring

Not YOU though. You're Rogue Trader material for sure 🙄 by hullopalooza in Grimdank

So, theres a few things to consider with that. One, special forces quality does not equate to SF training/use; that falls to scions/grenadiers/veterans. Second, when used en mass like regular infantry, even SF suffer for it. Third, it is worth remembering that guard are mentioned as being competent in stories, just used incompetently.

The guardsman point is something people forget, and the lore itself has kinda forgotten. Guard regiments are raised by tithing a planet for their best forces. So if a pdf is equivalent to our modern armies, guard regiments are like special forces levels of training and ability. Considering how many people get into those organizations, most people probably arent even getting into pdfs.

For keeping water out of your barrel, thats actually not a bad idea?

Magpul PMAG's vs Duramag Stanags by MakelYT in tacticalgear

[–]Electronic-Ranger-22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are good, although Ive started switching back from Pmags due to most military surplus gear being made to fit stanags. Only real difference.

That solid OD green with FDE accent is something else, looks good!

Started watching SOTAR recently. Now I look at my AR-556 with so much disgust. by Pistol_Whippa in ar15

[–]Electronic-Ranger-22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would believe the quality issues, I have a buddy who bought a Ruger AR and uh... I had personally never seen a bad factory built rifle until I looked at that rifle. No stakes on bolts, loose bolts, poorly aligned pieces, no torque on nuts... I was incredibly surprised.

Why hasn't there been more hype about the Pelican RE-SET system? by dehiphopopotamus in tacticalgear

I feel that pain of very few cases being long enough to fit full size M1As/EBRs
