Yesterday was my first day playing with my new tac 8.1. I was playing pistol only. It was also my first day playing with my leafy bug guille suit. It was amazing! Having such limited paint made me focus so much more on tactics and stealth. The whole day I never had a gun fight with the opposing team. I always tried to move to a better position. I had to because I didn't have the fire power to compete. I loved the increased range of motion and speed. Most of the time spent in games, my tac was in it's holster and I was running and crawling with all fours. It was liberating. The weight difference was astounding. I felt like I was playing with nothing. I learned a whole lot after finally playing with my set-up. It's not the same as practicing at home. Here's what I found out.

Current set-up

shotgun belt

2 tac mags in tiberius pouches

7 8 round tubes upside down for fast reloads

4 CO2 12grams

drop leg holster

Problems

Shotgun belt crumpled from drop leg pulling on it

the mag pouches would "unvelcro" from to much hip and leg movement

the 8 round tubes tend to open with movements when upside down, turned right side up after first game

 

The belt set-up could work if reconfigured but a vest would be ideal.

The leafy bug suit worked beautifully. There were people on the other team talking about how "the guy in the guille" was invisible. I wouldn't go that far but I really did it's job well. The only issue with it is it's durability. I tore a little hole in the knee from sliding. It's an easy fix with some more durable fabric sewn in.

I can't wait to play again. I don't even want to play with my SP-1.

 

 

 

 

Just like in t-ball, it doesn't matter who wins so long as you had fun. But winning is cool too.

Sounds like you had a great first time playing with your T8.1, they're awesome pistols. Most people don't understand how different pistol play is until they try it for themselves. Having that increased speed and manoeuvrability but with less ammo changes the game totally around!
I'm actually looking to setup a MOLLE pistol belt system so that it can still be lightweight, but strong enough for playing rough so it won't let you down.

Awesome. Keep me posted on the belt you are building. Maybe it'll be the mix I am looking for.

Definitely, Scout has a fantastic system but I don't really think the second pistol is needed. Trying to dual-wield pistols and shoot accurately is really difficult and not really worth the effort. I would recommend only having 1 pistol holster on the vest and having 2-3 more magazines on the vest as well.

I've seen his set-up. I like how he cut the tops off of the shotgun and dump pouch. I'm with Aaron in regards to the dual pistols. It would be tough to use, reload and remember how many shots are left in each mag for each gun.
