That would be wicked easy actually....if you saw it, I had the 12 grams held in with an integral strap ( Link to close up picture ) and all I'd have to do basically is the same but in the other direction. In fact, I was going to make it capless for the game by adding a stiffening piece to the back which came around the front and also worked as a "cap"...

I consider all these pieces working prototypes until I finally design the ultimate stock class pack buwahahahahaha

I am going to do some modding to my LSG harness with a few simple changes it will be perfect for me. I prefer no froward facing hard points, 12g's just behind my left hip , paint will be horizontal carry this time the loops will be in the formation of an upside down V some type of dump arrangement in the void of the V.

i seem to always go back to this .. paid like 4.00 for it at the surplus store and sewed part of an already hacked up shotgunbelt on the inside for loops...

... i do like my PBmafia leg harness though just haven't used it as much to really have an opnion

I've got a flipped out, and I think it's great save two things. First, some of the capless tube spots are sewn too tightly, and its a real pain to load. Second, the co2 loops are too loose. I really need to run over the co2 loops with a sewing machine or something, I keep losing 12grams.

Also, capless is great. I found that with caps I was sometimes grabbing the cap instead of the tube and pulling it off, even with speed caps. That wasn't too fun.

Im not a fan of capless at all. Ill take the extra 1/2 second to pop the cap off, instead of loosing paint when my harness starts to wear out. We all know it happens... That elastic doesnt last forever, if it even comes to your door working right. I use the old suspender harness, Ive used almost every other kind, but keep going back to it. It works.

I like my sling/bandolier that I used sunday and at Pump Pandemonium..... but the draw back is that the tube is a long pull to get it out of the loop.. and the bandolier moves with the pull....

I like having it on my chest.... but I'm thinking of going back to the old AR-15 mag pouch, a shotgun shell pouch for 12 grams and some kind of dump pouch instead of trying to find a pocket.

I did finally get a hold of some speedcaps and like those sooooo much better than loose caps... wish i had them for sat's game.

The only time i can see useing a capless harness is if your useing the tube to hold in teh paint like sticking it in a splatty, 007 or somthing like that.

I see what you're getting at, but I have to say that once the harness is that worn out, you're just going to lose the tubes anyway, capless or not. I just like the fact that I can reach behind me and grab anything, without having to worry about ripping a speed cap right off a tube and losing the paint. It does come with the disadvantage of sometimes losing the first ball in the tube as you yank it out, but with practice that doesn't happen very often. The speed increase is worth it in my opinion, they're way easier to stuff into a dump pouch.

What do you guys use for dump pouches and where do you find it is best to carry them?

My pockets...

I used a PBMafia dump pouch for a while, on my belt, and never liked it. I found my pockets, on both my Dye C7s and my Flecktarn pants, are large enough to accommodate MANY tubes without me even noticing it. I generally keep partial filled tubes in my right pocket, and empties on the left.

I have been trying to place tubes back into my capless harness, but sometimes I just don't think of it. During a scenario game in August, I shot through my entire Flipped Out pack (18 tubes) defending against an attack and I noticed as I walked out I had NO tubes.

Where were they you may ask?

All 18 were in my front pockets, and I never even noticed them being there.
