Shotgun shells on the plate carrier

[victordelta]

I'll preface this by saying the following:

-I do have a shotgun scabbard that I don't normally mount on my PC
-I love using both of my tri-shots in CQB games

I tend to get a lot of questions as to why I keep a full shotgun shell mount on my plate carrier. I keep ten shells in a relatively easy-to-access position on it. For outdoor games, I don't carry my shotguns because they're not that useful.

There are two reasons I keep the shells on my PC. The first is laziness. I don't feel like taking them off. The second is that I don't know who's going to need to borrow one.

Reason number two is the prime contender. I've given shells to players many many many times. Honestly, I haven't received them back. It's okay in my book, to a degree. If one of my comrades needs some ammo, I'll give it to them.

I don't know, maybe this is just a rant because of the people who focus on the shells on my vest (mostly non-airsoft facebook people)...but dammit, I've been the recipient of loaned shotgun shells before and I'll pay that shit forward!

So... I'm not really sure what the point of this is.

If you don't want to wear them on your vest, get one of these:

Then, if you still want to wear them on your vest, you can do this and look super badass:

Thor, I was lent shells from someone who had them on his gun (and forearm). The "purpose of this" is nothing more than to make my "paying it forward with shells" known.

I've received questions on my loadout because I carry shells when I'm not wearing my shotgun. That's all. I do like your forearm bandolier, if it means anything to ya.

**EDIT: I should probably carry them on my shoulder strap like in your picture. For some reason, that particular thought made me surprisingly giddy.

If I don't feel like putting my armband on, I'll usually just leave it on my vest like that, regardless of whether I'm actually running my shotgun. Shotgun shells always look cool. Always.

I agree. Perhaps I lied about not removing them due to laziness.
