What size magnets should I use for the support and gun systems?

1/16" Dia x 1/32" Thick?

or

1/8" Dia x 1/32" Thick?

or something else entirely?

I'll be getting them from www.amazingmagnets.com

cheapest on the net.

Thanks!

My friend uses two 1/8" x 1/16" in the arms. That way the guns do not swivel. I would think the 1/8" x 1/32" would work just fine. Just make sure you keep the polarity the same on the suits and guns so you can swap them all.

I'm begining to feel magnets are over rated. I had a hell of a time getting things to work on my titan (see my sig for details). And just the other day the one magnet I got to work finally ripped off. Does anybody have a good way to secure magnets (considering that they're non-porous)?

Superglue some greenstuff into the hole, and then super the magnet to the greenstuff.

Make sure you use superglue and not plastic glue.
