GORUCK Bullet 16L Laptop Ruck Review

[@Two_Names]

The quick access top pouch a la gr1 heritage and a number of packs from Bellroy, Mystery Ranch, Evergoods, etc, is one of the best innovations to hit regular use bags.

[@Rucking]

I think I agree. When I switch to a bag that doesn’t have it, I always miss it.

[@damonmacyluvisi1173]

Can you please do a video on what weight plates can fit in the laptop compartment? All I have is 20# long plate.

[@koolauorchardgarden]

I'm wondering the same thing. All I have is a 30 pounder. Thinking of getting a 20 pound so I can switch them out

[@Rucking]

Yes. Yes, I can. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2qciqighLhqjpI

I got mine last week, black multicam. Love it

[@Rucking]

Solid color choice!

[@charmaine.s_EDC]

True👍🏻 the top quick access pocket should be standard on all Gorucks 🥰

[@Rucking]

Agree.

[@edwardgomez3633]

I’d love to see how you can use the 16L Bullet Laptop for rucking, ie., how to load plates, sandbags in it, etc.. Thanks.

[@Rucking]

I have a video about which plates fit. Personally, the straps are too narrow for me when it comes to rucking.

[@Kwisss]

@@Rucking Do you think it'll be fine for rucking if you intend to only go 30 lbs max? I wanted to have it as a daypack/slight packable bag and didn't want a larger bag for EDC (I have a TBB Concealpack 21).

[@Rucking]

@@Kwisss yes. It’ll work. Like I said, straps on bullets are narrower than Rucker or GR1, so less comfortable with weight. But, yeah, it’ll work.

[@Kwisss]

@@Rucking Thanks, now if only they sold the Coyote ones :')

[@ricflair8863]

I just ordered the 16L and mini wire dopp based on your videos. Would have loved the little pocket at the top as mentioned, but upgrading to a Heritage for the pocket that doesn’t have the laptop compartment wasn’t in the budget. Thanks for helping me spend money!! 😂

[@Rucking]

Glad to be of assistance.

[@PanaMaJwaaRd]

Would never trade my 10L steel 1000d for this, but i can see the appeal of separate compartment. Just released canvas bullet 😍, with pocket you speak of but no laptop compartment. I wonder when they will just do both to create the best bag alive....

[@Rucking]

Yeah, the Heritage is a beautiful line. Add computer compartment and it would almost be with the piece they’re charging :)

[@austinslater4773]

Dude great review!

[@Rucking]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Much appreciated.

[@robbiemoore4714]

I saw someone else say it, but a what plate works video would be amazing!

@@Ruckingthe gold standard of how a simple demo should be done.

[@JamesDulin]

It looks like it would, but, does the bag when loaded stand up straight on the table by itself? This is a feature of many corporate "tech" backpacks, and most goruck bags it wasnt a priority. With the stiffer framesheet, it almost looked like it would stay put.

[@Rucking]

Most GORUCK bags don’t. They all have a slight tilt to them. However, as the video shows, when I loaded mine with a bunch of books/journals, it did stand flat. I was actually surprised. Could just be the way I loaded it.

[@philippang07]

On a 15L Bullet, having a smaller confined pocket space at the top for easy access may well be too tight and "by the way". But nice to have. I prefer to have adequate pocket space but the 15L's width at about 10" will limit that pocket size. Maybe for smaller items - I don't think a sunglass carrier would fit. But no one will complain if they started incorporating this. We love pockets but in a practical manner, never for the sake of it, the way the 34L GR2 Kaidens feature a senseless leather handle at the pack's bottom which tilts the base and as a consequence doesn't help keep the bag upright. I noticed that and am a sucker for keeping my bags upright when they are off my shoulders. Cheers

[@Rucking]

All GORUCK bags tilt. But, I 100% agree that the Kaiden handle on the bottom is pointless. They have design articles about it being for when you store it overhead on an airplane. Who in the world stores a bag top side in first?

[@philippang07]

@@Rucking No one!!! LOL Thank you for your vids. 👍🏼

[@Андре-КРЫЛОВ]

Cut this handle!

[@martyn420]

Does the Bullet have a false bottom to protect a laptop like the GR0?

[@Rucking]

@@martyn420 the bullet laptop ruck does. The standard bullet does now.

Can’t wait to get mine!

[@pipehitter114]

They should make a Heritage Bullet (laptop) 16L with a quick access pocket, since it is more of an urban EDC for going into the office. Keep the hydration port on regular Bullet (laptop).

[@Rucking]

That would be very nice, indeed.

[@MS-ge2jb]

Why do the dimensions of this bag look different from those listed on the website? This bag resembles the GR2 more than the Bullet. It has a relatively square/boxy shape rather than the slim shape that characterizes the Bullet. Is this an inconsistency in Goruck's production process?

[@Rucking]

This is a 16L. Traditional Bullet is 15L and looks slightly more narrow.

[@Андре-КРЫЛОВ]

The difference is subtle, just 0.75 inches (1.9 cm).

[@teammicroadventuredk2956]

I love the 16! By far my favourite goruck pack besides the 3.0 rucker.. btw, what cap is that?

[@Rucking]

Just a Patagonia hat I added patch panel to. ruck.beer/how-to-make-a-patch-hat-from-almost-any-hat/

[@ShoelessPoimen]

Question on the inside pocket. On my GR2 I use the inside Ruck Plate pocket to put my large 12.3" iPad Pro and a Bible because it has the elastic on the top. The inside Ruck Plate pocket does not appear to be the same material in the Laptop Bullet from the pictures or reviews I've seen. Would I still be able to place both or at least my Bible in that pocket on the Laptop Bullet?

[@Rucking]

The GR2 laptop compartment is going to be a bit bigger. As long as you have a thinner Bible, they should both fit in the Bullet laptop compartment.

[@parryhooper]

For only $345 you can get the bullet heritage with the quick access pocket

[@Rucking]

Oh, believe me, I know :)

[@koolauorchardgarden]

Does Goruck have a black Friday sale? I'm debating whether or not to wait till then to get this bag or get it now.

[@Rucking]

Yes. Here’s the link go.ruck.beer/BlackFridayEarly - bad news is this ruck isn’t in the sale.

[@koolauorchardgarden]

Can I fit a 20 or 30 pound ruck plate in the laptop compartment? And is it comfortable?

[@Rucking]

[@koolauorchardgarden]

@@Rucking thanks for the reply and video. I'm looking to use it as an EDC and include a light ruck plate

[@mlkolb]

How do the weighted plates fit and secure in this bag vs the Bullet Rucker 15L?

[@Rucking]

They would just sit in the loose pocket on the interior. Certainly not "designed" for it and not super recommended. But, can get the job done in a pinch.

[@kets1487]

Without framesheet weight?

[@Rucking]

Don't know. Can't be much different.

[@MrWesQ]

I ended up taking the frame sheet out of my 16L Bullet Laptop.

[@Rucking]

I hear that's a bit of a beast to do. I love having a frame sheet in the bullet, just wish it was a little less stiff.

[@harshAmiya]

Can that 15 inch laptop fit inside the main compartment?

[@Rucking]

I don't own one to test. Sorry.

[@harshAmiya]

@@Rucking no problem. Thanks for replying:)

[@Tellurdogisayhello]

Their website says a 14 inch will fit in the laptop compartment...so in the main compartment you'll absolutely be able to fit a 15 inch laptop

[@pao_banaag]

I hate goruck's decision to keep something as simple as a quick access top pocket as an exclusive to their $400+ bags 😑

[@Rucking]

It is a great feature. Doubt it will ever be on the flagship rucks (GR1, 2, and 3). But, it makes appearances on the variations.

[@antoniobotello4996]

2 of my favorite brands in tactical bags 1: GORUCK & 2: MAXPEDITION everything eles has failed 😤 I still regret that I shouldn't bought the TRIPLE AUGHT DESIGN: LITE SPEED EDC V1, when I pack it a little heavy the shoulder straps started to hurt not only that they have changed their line of backpacks....funny are they going bankrupt? And other brands like CANNAE, GEIGERRIG and VOODOO TACTICAL are falling apart.

[@beck4218]

Looks like a tan Jansport.

[@RealMuperSan]

Where do you put your wallet and phone?

[@Rucking]

My pocket. If I need to stash them, it is in the interior top pocket.
