Super Stock specific
-vangripret a retaliator with a pump grip, which is a ret slide on the barrel and connected with PVC slots, a raider stock bolted in place covered with cloth, a barrel extended to have another nerf male adapter, bradley alu boltsled, OMW stage 1 and 2, 7kg spring (probably 6kg after all the wars I've been to that wears it down)
-2 duct tape double stack belt holsters

(Double stack m4 pouches (or any other 5.56) and single stack AK pouches (or any other 7.62) hold a nerf mag tightly, and a double stack AK mag or triple stack m4 pouch holds 2 nerf mags)
There's also a pistol mag pouch on the right side of the admin panel that holds my pliers and a screw driver.
A sharpie is on the other side of the admin panel and a fiber-cloth in the admin panel.
Also a big random pouch on the left side I got for free that holds random things

-2 10 banana mags
-3 12 mags
-7 ghetto taped together 12 mags

DESCRIPTIONS
NIC
I think my loadout overall definitely weighs more than needed, and is a disadvantage. Faux eotech, boots, sling, box, heavier pants, and stupid long barrel is not optimal or ideal. However, I like some of the aesthetics and general goofiness. For NIC wars I like using it, as my rainbow kinda comes close to countering a 4B with ROF and power, and is fun to push with. It's great for pushing, and can defend as it has a balance of ROF and power. However, this is really optimal for outdoors and open areas as its unwieldy long and I have to dip around corners. I use #6s primarily but I'll try and transition to 8s because of so much wind. Another downside is I wear ear pro while using my rainbow because it's so loud and next to my ear it hurts, which is kinda annoying. However I generally find my NIC loadout lots of fun, and fits me and the plentiful amounts of times I get to use it. This setup has worked indoors and outside, very bulky but indoors shear power and rof make it illegal, but the times it's not is fun. Outdoors it thrives, in trees and suburban type cover.

Superstock
This loadout is not most ideal, partial comicon use, a ret is not the best for superstock and I look like a milsim wanna be with a ret kind of looking like an M4 and a plate carrier. However, I like I have lots of real estate for stuff, and usually when I'm in super stock with AMR (my friends) I hold the mags since they're too immobile with a vest. My ROF is decent because I can shitspam if I need too, and using USC (or rave) darts my shots are actually kind of straight. While again not optimal, heavy, bulky and definitely not for everyone, I like what I have and it helps me hold stuff for people. I can and have used this in an NIC setting. Great for freezetag or a flank where I'll be upclose and ROF is high, but generally unadvisable. I've been to countless superstock wars, and honestly I'm very impractical but I like having fun with what I use, as it's moderate length, can be used indoors and outdoors and just has to be dipped for tight corners. This has worked outside and inside, in human VS human environments because I'm interested in things that shoot back. Rooms have been cleared and hills have been taken, and vice versa. Like the NIC loadout I think it's great in my hands but wouldn't fit anyone else.
