Hey all, So I decided to go with 3 pistol mags on the left, holster on the right, and moved the 2 utility pouches from the side of my PC to the back of the belt due to easier access I attended my first game today and the belt works amazingly as did all of my gear. Absolutely shattered but thank you all for your tips and advice!

If that's "practically brand new", Bonnie Blue must be a virgin.

You'd need to be on something to pay that. Even his price without postage is taking the piss. Edit: also I'd take that claim of never fired with a big pinch of salt. Zooming in on his picture there's clear signs of wear around the muzzle of the outer barrel

£40 postage?! Hope it comes with a bag of what he's been using, bloody hell

Good haul there! If they are the nuprol mesh goggles,they actually aren't too bad. Ive trusted them for years, and they have taken countless hits without drama (retired my first pair they it began to look like the surface of the moon). I wouldn't wear them indoors,but for woodland, I think they are good. There is an argument that with mesh you avoid the temptation of kids to lift steamed up goggles....

After a few tiring and emotionally draining days at the Onboard the Craft festival, where we headlined the Friday night, it was a still very tired Colin who set off for Airsoft Plantation at 07:00 this morning. Around 200 players were present, covering a wide range of ages and experience; it was good to see a fair number of younger rentals on site. On signing in I was presented with the £64 worth of pyro that I had won in a raffle. My plan is to throw it all at the Lad next time we play together. Having met up with Tom and Dan, with the latter of whom I spent a lot of time discussing hop rubbers and nubs, we set out for the first game of the day, which came into being when the site owner was watching news coverage of rioters. In the first phase, the attacking team, starting at the DEA base with infinite regens on a marshal, had to fight their way into the mortar pits and locate a crate of seven Molotov Cocktails (bottles with yellow smoke grenades, indicating gas, stuck in the top), which they had to take to the bridge. As the defenders, we had one life in this phase. Once they had got the case to the bridge, the game would reset, giving us the opportunity to set ourselves up in the village, where we had two lives. The attackers then had to get the Molotov Cocktails into the seven central buildings and set them off; once the smoke had cleared, they could enter the building, steal the money in it and take it to the riot's organiser, who was on the firebreak. Setting up on the far left of the mortar pits, the group that I was with were subject to constant attacks, which we repulsed after some intense and very close range firefights among the small trees and bushes. I was eventually hit and set off for the village, observing the capture of the crate on my way. I set up of the Main Street of the village, but that position rapidly became untenable and I was hit; as we had two lives in the village, I removed myself to a number of positions further back from where I continued to engage the enemy before I was hit again a few seconds before the game timed out. The attackers had secured three bundles of cash. After reloading and having a very nice and very welcome cup of tea, we set out for the reverse of that game. We pushed hard into the mortar pits despite strong resistance and, after a short delay clearing out the top deck of the bus, grabbed the Molotov Cocktails and took them to the bridge. As usual when attacking the village, I set out on a long swing around the far end of the site to attack it from the rear, as did another twenty or so players. While our colleagues carried out a frontal attack, we worked our way through the light woods, taking out the few enemy we encountered and entering the village from that direction. Just as we left the woods, my KA PDW stopped working mid shot; assuming that the CHiLUN mosfet had died, I carried on with my pistol. A little later, the game ended as we had secured all seven bundles of money and transported them back to Steve. Luncheon followed, during which I decided to take a look at the dead rifle; taking off the motor plate, I saw that one of the motor connector tabs had somehow broken off; the CHiLUN mosfet survives. After lunch, the afternoon games were briefed. Starting at Long Walk at the far end of the woods, the attackers, with infinite marshal regens, had to fight their way to the kill house in the woods, secure the stretcher, get someone on it and transport them to the border, where they would load them into the jeep and then transport them to the mortar pits via the village. As the defenders, we had two lives in the woods and one in the village. As usual, I dug myself into one of my favourite ditches and waited for the enemy; they took a while to turn up but, when they, did I potted all four of them. Another somewhat larger group arrived a while later; after a longish fight in which I hit several of them, I was hit and crawled out of my beloved ditch and went off to reposition for my second life in the woods. At this point I noticed that the vast majority of the enemy had already pushed well past my position and were now gathering at the border for phase 2 of the game. Settling into another ditch, I let the rest of the attackers go past and, once they had set off again, I moved up behind them, using cover and some wonderfully muddy ditches (the connoisseur's choice) to knock off a player or two at a time and then disappear, before reappearing elsewhere. I doubt that it had much impact on the game, but it was great fun. However, inevitably, they achieved their objective. When we returned to the safe zone, my tiredness and emotional exhaustion got the better of me and I decided to pack up and leave. This was somewhat delayed by another conversation with Dan about hop rubbers and nubs as he was trying yet another combination in one of his rifles. It was a really good day of airsoft, although not devoid of the usual occasional acts of twatishness by individual players, which were dealt with effectively by the marshals.

Just another quick one. Does anyone know anywhere in the UK to purchase a rear sight tool? Only ones I can find are from the usa and not sure what the rules are on importing these.
