Thanks for the comment and enjoy the sport! We've got plenty of other helpful videos, so make sure to check them out. ;)

@@ReconBrothers Instant reply? niccee! One question, do i need to clean the other half of GBB pistol and how do i do it?

@@NerfninjaH_Knolastname I assume, with the other half you mean the non slide half? If so, you can remove dirt but don't do anything too special especially if you didn't have dirt go in it.

@@ReconBrothers Thx 😊

Hi, its always best to store the magazines completely filled with gas. So after you're done shooting fill it and then store it. The gas will prevent your rubber rings from drying out. Airsoftdoctor for example in Belgium tested this and if I recall correctly he had it laying around for over 5 years already. (This is only for greengas magazines and NOT for CO2 cartridges.) 😊

​@@ReconBrothers Hi, thank you for answering! I bought mine at Airsoftdoctor in Mechelen three weeks ago, haha! The only thing I still don't know is whether it's okay to leave the magazine in the pistol or take it out when storing it in the case?

@@halogie9289 Leaving the mag in the pistol is no issue. Airsoftdoctor is a really good store for your replicas. ;)

@@ReconBrothers awesome thank you! and yes aggreed great store! maybe one day ill have an outfit like you guys and we could play a game :D happy Airsofting!

If you watched the video, you'd see that it has almost no maintenance these days. Also GBBRs are way easier to disassemble and reassemble. 😅

@@Kortex-y4t It's a slim headband version, so you can wear it underneath a helmet. However I find it much more comfortable to attach it to a helmet with mounts. If you only need it a few hours a day, it will be fine though.

That's one way to look at it. 😂 Do note that all companies clone what they like from each other, not a single one came up completely with the exact way plate carriers are today. In addition not a single company is capable of supplying the need so it is only good that more than just one company tries to come up with new ways and designs. Not to mention Direct Action is the go to brand in Europe, many forces use these products and we also sell it worldwide. So just a clone is a very limited view. 😁

Yeah, obviously this is not a product for everyone, we also still prefer the Spitfire MKII for our intended use. So when buying a plate carrier people need to understand what it was designed for and if that suits their requirements. Hence our video. 😁👍

Spitfire FTW! 😁 The vanguard combat clothing (especially the pants) are very good in our opinion and we started using them after trying out so many brands. Basically for us there is no perfect solution yet, but the vanguard pants come really close to what we require from a pair of pants. The combat shirt we use rarely, but we've used it during airsoft events and did notice it makes us sweat way less than the Crye G3 combat shirts which cost at least double.

Helikon is a relativly cheap brand thats produced in vietnam, DA is high quality pricey brand produced in EU, not a good comparison if you want a similar comparison with popular brands in Europe, I would compare it to Tasmanian tiger or Agilite, both of whom are expensive brands but produced in asia vietnam for TT and I believe thailand for agilite

@KineticApplicationsGroup price wise Helikon is a bit cheaper. But quality is very good from all the different stuff I use from Helikon. Have got several types of shirts, pants that I use for work, tactical training, every day and competition shooting. And it's the same company, helikon is the parent company to direct action. So it's basically comparing stuff from the same brand. Just at slightly different price (bearcat and guardian are very close) and different features.

@@VeryFastRodi Yes I’m aware I’m saying there is no point in comparing the two, different ideas behind them, helikon outsources stuff to asia to make it cheaper for the user and DA makes it in house to give the user greater quality. As for interchangability that is not important at all as you can often interchange parts from multiple manufacturers half of the ones on the market use the velcro on front and back system

@@VeryFastRodi You can’t really compare prices when the products are meant to be in a different niche, thats why I mentioned brands like agilite which is supposed to be this high end brand but in reality its a money grab and why chinese factories release copies of it with the same quality at 1/3 the price, you can make stuff decently at lower price in Asia but its not gonna be that much cheaper because materials, QC and then import will cost a lot, just look at Emerson whose blue label crye pants cost only about 100 dolars less than crye originals in US, around 120 for emerson and 250 for US

Jumping in to the conversation 😉; Both Helikon-Tex and Direct action now fall under the group Entire-M. As for the purposes and where it is created, @kineticApplicationsGroup is completely correct. Hence we also offer very limited products from Helikon-tex, however we do also use some of their clothing as it is very good for every day use and can be easily replaced due to the lower cost. They have very good fits and in our opinion are very cool in design. For everything tactical we go to Direct Action. (So it always comes down to what you require.) As for Tasmanian Tiger to be a comparable brand, in a way of finishing and materials used, yes. In a way of being innovative and listening to user feedback, no way. Also Tasmanian Tiger has a lot of costs importing the products after Corona which sadly makes them overpriced. On the other hand Direct Action was able to expand and keep their prices almost static, some even dropped a few Euros. As for interchangeability, you would indeed expect that to be the case, but some brands use other buckles making you solely rely on the Velcro which isn't always ideal since some try to minimize the amount due to the buckle implementation. So compatibility is something that seriously needs to be tested before purchasing everything. For example Templar's gear G3 and G4, and Direct Action; Templar's gear changed their buckles and we've noticed that their G3 and G4 are compatible, but the buckles don't hold when you start loading the front flap. The back plates of both brands use zippers and are compatible, but when mixing the brands there is about a 10-15 cm offset in height, compared to the intended use. For most this is not an issue and they do in fact mix both brands, but to some that may be considered obstructing. For example if you have a back panel hanging 15 cm lower than intended it may obstruct with your belt setup. As for Israeli brands, we haven't tried them all, but we do indeed notice they are just very good at marketing. Our favorite example is how bad Source Tactical is compared to Camelbak Mil Spec series. Though almost all shops start selling Source Tactical, this to us shows that shops mostly jump on the hype train and don't test their products before committing to selling it. After all a shop's purpose it to help the customer acquire what they need and not just sell as much as possible. (I know some would argue that these days.)

Much appreciated!

Thanks for watching again!

Can't go wrong with both. Spending money on ammo and training is the way forward. 🤙

Thanks, awesome of you to watch and comment! 😉

Thanks for your comment, we appreciate your feedback and you buying over our store! 😁👌

Who is Roosh? 😅

Thanks, glad you liked it! 🤟

@@ReconBrothers Welcome just no hassle and shit, straight to the point which is great to look at.

Hi, I see that on the 3M site they now state IP65 as you mention. It can be that it has changed over the years or that we were misinformed. Thanks for pointing this out and thanks for watching the video! ;)

Cool, any particular one in mind?

@@csabafat Firstly for training communication and applying the basic properly. Secondly, it can be applied by units when cover or concealement are limited. Moving like this in a single row file allows a team to constantly lay down fire with the smallest profile possible, namely the width of just 1 man (that being the front guy in the row who also serves as protection for the guys behind him). The guys behind him can easily work on what they need to do in the meantime until its their turn to lay down fire.

Thanks for the nice comment! This is already an older video, but still very valid. We just relaunched the channel last month, so plenty of new videos are incoming. 😀

@@ReconBrothers i look forward to it brother! Thanks for the great easily understandable information.

What weight do you use to get only 250FPS?

@@80hd6 We can't really judge on the AMPs as we've never used them ourselves. We did sell them for some time and they almost all had serious warranty issues after around 6 months of use. The ComTacs have a much better history of reliability in our experience.

You can try to use gel pads instead of foam ones if the issue is quite minor. Otherwise depending on the brands you use you might want to look at either compatible components that don't have that issue. Or if you are a lefty, and that is mainly causing the issue you can try to get left dominant parts. If all of those don't work, try going for adapters instead of using the headset underneath the helmet.

Thanks for the comment, glad to read it helped you out!

Thanks! We're glad you're enjoying the growth of Reconbrothers! 🤟

It wasn't our rifle, so we can't answer your question. 😅

You can only tell by measuring the resistance on certain points in the downlead. (Or if it isn't modified you should be able to find out based on the code. MTH...)

@@ReconBrothers Thank you for your help! I'll get a multimeter
