Carry spare reservoirs and swap them, or move the gas off the gun entirely and feed it down a line. This is the second approach, and on a support gun it is the one that makes sense — the weight comes off the receiver and goes onto your webbing, where you were carrying it anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module comes with the gas tube and connector, so the plumbing is in the set rather than something to source separately. Over the top goes a woodland camouflage nylon cover, and a plastic dummy 5.56 chain runs from the pouch, which is what stops it looking like a fuel line taped to a machine gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVFC publish it as a 12kg module.
