I have a few shotguns in my collection, 15 in all 😁, all spring powered. Not had any issues with them. Each type has their own strengths and weaknesses. Gas, less strength needed to pump, sound great when you rack, a little more power, but gas usage means you do have to be wary of your shots and do require (as any gas RiF) up keep to keep them in good working order. Springers, a good arm work out and you’ll feel it the next day but no worries about worrying how much you have left in the tank and will just keep going. As the previous commenter, I would also personally recommend the Cyma range of shotguns as build quality is good and always good fun. I have a number of their full metal ones and a couple of polymer builds for variety and love them. Obviously the polymer builds are also cheaper than the full metal one to. I also have a couple from the Double Eagle brand with there textured rubber grips and they have also never let me down and are good fun. The majority all have the tri shot barrels to as a shotgun should spread! I’ve also got some S&T shotguns which are full metal with real wood which are beautiful to look at and hold but they are only single shot and can have a little more range if that’s what you are wanting. My opinion with shotguns is that they are best for close quarters, room clearing etc and are not designed for reaching distance. So you have to adapt your gameplay for them which can be fun! Buy I would definitely start with a springer, get the feel for it and if you enjoy it then look to upgrade down the line!

I'm a little intimidated by the prices of the quality face masks, but I know if we going to do this regularly and safely I need to invest. Thanks again.

Theres nothing wrong with budget brands (provided they are up to standard) My first goggles were the entry level, and I kept them for many years (with lens changes), a couple of paint jobs and they were in my lending collection. Even when going on to ‘premium ranges’ I also bought a rental type, because I wanted that colour scheme and they fitted my head (I still have that set in the box)

Great reply and suggestions, thanks. I have been using the full face masks at the site I shoot at, although I did buy my son his own mask. I think I will get a full face mask as suggested. We both wear cheapish goggles when target shooting in the garage with paintball and now airsoft as there's no one shooting back at us. That's really what I brought these for. Cheers. Rick. I appreciate the advice mate, thank you. Yep, the garage is safe and I have a padded and secure backstop to reduce ricochets. I do shoot sub 12 ftlb airguns in there without issues. I usually wear a set of Stihl chainsaw goggles over my glasses. (Found em in garage when we moved in.) As I mentioned he has a budget brand, (but the same as my local site hands out) full mask as I quite like the little shit.... But lesson learned thanks guys. I don't want either of us to get hurt. Thanks for the replies.

Hi Nick How are you getting on with the drum mag? I have recently picked up a WE Apache and I am debating whether to add 2x 45 round mags or one of these. Thanks in advance.

Welcome ✋ It's great you can get some gear and info from your mate. So you can try without jumping into buying. Will save you loads on potential bad purchases. 👍

Your original photo does not work for me, but from the specification sheet and reference to Lidls it looks like they could be these : https://youtu.be/WcFNrOIzpYs The impact level is very basic at EN166F which is just for general workshop / workplace use - to protect from things thrown up, not from things being shot. They are not even rated for ricochet It’s better than nothing, but the inclusion of your son sends the wrong message Don’t drill them - not just because you don’t know the effect that it has on what you drill into, but you don’t need any (extra) antifog ventilation as you should not be doing any activity to cause fogging in them (I say ‘extra’ because the video references a small element of ventilation, which if that is the right goggle then it indicates that they are designed just for workshops etc and are for just keeping the dust & cuttings etc kicked up away from eyes Assuming you have a safe and legal environment, for home target shooting get some airsoft shooting glasses with EN166B rating, and ideally a strap, even if it is just a surfer’s glasses strap to hold them in place (There’s no point in glasses having impact ratings if they bounce off your head on impact)

id be happy with £300 can i just post it in that format to sell and thank you for the fast responce and help

Hello and Welcome

Usually 60 - 70% of retail cost total. BB's aren't worth selling online as it'll end up costing you more for postage due to the weight, and the Li-Po's would be another hard thing to post as they'd need to be declared which puts the price up. The replica itself is £459.99 brand new, 60% of that is £275.99 The extra mag will add maybe £5 value. No idea on the "Laser scope" but it looks like what AirsoftWorld has for £35 so £21 to the right buyer (Niche and possibly unusable for some people) Factoring in the two tone which does sadly detract value to the majority, you'd be looking at low end of £280 for the replica, spare mag and laser scope (Which isn't even a scope?!) Factor in shipping cost (Roughly £11 via Parcelforce 48 Hour) and PayPal fees when totalling price I'd say around £300

Welcome 👍

Your eyes are worth more than £4 innit

Well I just joined the hundreds/thousands of middle aged blokes & preordered one.

This morning, I loaded up the Volvo and headed off to Splatoon. Commandeering a table, I set up the two guns I would be using and then went out to set up and chrono two second hand guns that I had bought recently; one was spot on, putting out 1.05J and pinging BBs out a very long way, while the other was also reaching a very satisfactory range but was considerably underpowered. It will be on the work table when I get an opportunity. Around 70 players were present. I was pleased to meet up with Gary again; he is a chap with a very interesting background and we are two of the "more mature" players at the site. After the usual morning rituals of the chrono and the safety brief, the first game was Spinners; there is a spinner in each of the three sections of the site and the aim was to control at least two of them. For once, I stayed in the middle section, where we had a hard fight but eventually secured the spinner and set it our colour. We then struggled to defend it as enemy players attacked us from the other two sections; however, when the game ended, it was still pointing our way, as was one of the others. Victory! After a return to the safe zone to refill mags etc, the next game involved getting smoke grenades to the grey helicopter in the container field. Each team had three smoke grenades, which were located in the furthest section of the site; they could only transport one at a time, going back to collect the next one once they had bombed the helicopter. The teams started at opposite ends of the container field, with the grey helicopter in the middle, albeit closer to the banded team's start point and regen than ours, which was not where I had expected it to be as the layout of the container field had changed somewhat since last time I was there. At the start, both teams sent about half their players off to get the first smoke grenades, while the remainder fought for control of the area around the grey helicopter. Those of us in the latter group had a long and grinding fight, while rumours abounded about the presence or absence of smoke grenades. The enemy quickly got two of theirs into the helicopter, which seemed ominous; however, following that, our transport team got their mojo together while the rest of us pushed the banded team back so that our grenades could be set off in it. A 3-2 victory! After a break for lunch, the next game was to transport a bomb from the far end of the field to any one of the four vehicles in the container field (two helicopters and two buses). The bomb had a timer, which was started at the beginning of the game to set it off when the time allowed expired. Therefore, as the attackers, we had to get it into a target and then protect it until the end of the game. The defenders could try to retake the vehicle and move the bomb 1m outside it. Fighting through the central section of the site, we launched lots of probing attacks into the container field, finally deciding to try to get the bomb onto the red bus, which was successfully done after a struggle. It seemed that not all of the enemy realised that it was there, as some of them continued to defend the other potential targets; this made the defence of the bus fairly straightforward and the bus was blown up! Victory! After more reloading of magazines, this game was reversed; I joined some of my colleagues defending the right hand side of the container field, covering the red bus and the grey helicopter. The enemy pushed hard and repeatedly broke our defence, but we pushed them out every time, although on one occasion they got the bomb into the grey helicopter. Having retaken it, we moved the bomb the required 1m away and locked the area down until the end of the game, when it blew up in the open. Victory! As the last game was a team deathmatch, which would then turn into a Filipino deathmatch where hit taking was not obligatory and you only had to put your hand up when you could not take any more, I and a fair number of the more sensible (older!) players elected to leave. It was a good day of airsoft, the best that I have had at Splatoon for quite a while; based on it, I will be coming back rather more frequently than previously.
