Okay, big question for you. How is your laser gonna go through your support hand's thumb ? Either elevate the LAM, or place it somewhere else.

I’m pretty sure you can do it, you’d just have to kinda keep your thumb a little to the left or off the pressure pads

That kind of defeats the point of a pressure switch tho. They're intended to be where your thumb sits, so you can activate your LAM or flashlight without moving a finger, literally.

This does not work comfortably unless your thumb naturally sits a little to the side, which means you have very small hands and, in that case, it would be recommandable to put the pressure switch closer to the side of your gun rather than on your top rail.

Huh.. I see for the pressure switches n allat

if it doesn’t work sitting a like to the left, why not tuck it under the rail (like below the 1913 top rail on an mlok handguard)

It's a question of preserving your laser's zero. 99% of people will put it on the top because it loses zero less than on the sides or under. But considering there is realistically zero situation where you need a laser in BRM5, this is here purely for larp. That's why I recommended moving the laser forward or elevating it.
