dont know about a pdf, but there are booklets. i picked one up on ebay earlier this year, and a little bit of google-fu turns up this listing, if you really want a physical copy of your own.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157260580079?_skw=british+army+virtus+equipment+user+manual&itmmeta=01K8GWJRH0DG385G6V8RE6TFDH&hash=item249d7604ef:g:IS8AAeSwFfNopyI8&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAABAFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1e2n3viT7yxXYNAddctCmzAxPLoVog7CA7JExM8dnLwRocrjfHGBfpteSu%2B7cenN92C4%2FE3rPPYHPShtacno4RvxU%2FKkENWP%2FoZqNsDWH2RoGNy%2F6YOuicw%2FweEscwzxTsksdS5NPOh4Hui8ywDQ75SXFH3h%2FR2nFwu0KsslQQhY9WETCo%2B%2FUcVRjvRPOgFqpEA3Zoj8KutejfUbGD36C7fAg66dyHHvrb2%2FrpI5q8%2FO80n2v%2B89pcMepJqVA5b1r34PItO%2BDIJvXQXbWUC%2F2A909HcmLejUtoirYOaGNJNzF5wisR7fJ7s%2BfscnCZLK98%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-CIy5zEZg

Hit the nail on the head there, unfortunately… Majority of the games are overly convoluted in the briefing whilst in essence the actual gameplay is simple. Briefings take a long time too which loses people’s attention rapidly and then it leads to the inevitable “What are we doing?” As I mentioned in our DM, more often than not lately we’ve been going more just to see friends than actually for the Airsoft which isn’t ideal. It used to be a cracking site when the old marshal was running it (who’s name escapes me now) as it was a quick brief of what to do, gear up and out to play within 5 minutes. Now briefs take 10+ minutes (Literally… I timed it once out of boredom 😂) and another half an hour before you’re on the field, which then usually incurs another 10 minutes before game on is called 😅

I just got home from... a different site for once. Me and my friend headed to Driver Wood, as we haven't played in over a month and he really wanted to see what the site was like. It was only my 2nd time there, and the last time I went was a while ago so it was basically both of our first times since so much has changed. I made the best decision of the day and when I saw it was 5 celcius this morning, I popped the thermals on. Since we wouldn't be able to leave anything locked in a car, we both only took 1 rifle and 1 pistol each; I chose my pre-ban Tanaka m24 and my TM HK45, though part of me did wish I brought my SRS or MTW-308 instead, as it was very, very cold this morning and it took a bit of doing to get my m24 shooting where I wanted. I stuck with orange gas in the m24 to try and ensure it was still consistent through the cold temperatures, but green gas went in the HK45 as that was cycling okay on green. If it was going to be 5 celcius all day, I'd have gone with red gas in the m24 and orange in the HK45. There were over 120 people on site today and it didn't feel like it. The site never felt over-crowded, and people weren't bunching up behind barricades. I can't give a detailed breakdown of each game, as I didn't pay any attention to the objectives. They would say where the objectives were, but me as a new player to the site had no idea where most of those places were. The only one I remember was the card game, where they hid a bunch of giant playing cards around the site and I remember that because some of the players moaned it was boring and I think they basically always play that game; I didn't mind it though. I spent most of the day trying to learn the site, learning the landmarks, learning some nice angles etc, and I would say I had a very successful day. I spent a lot of the day fighting around Oxford Street, finding a nasty little angle onto a helicopter that the other team consistently used and using my scrim net to essentially be invisible in one of the shipping containers as I shot out of the window. At one point, I had 4 people looking right at me while I was trying to reload and they didn't see me thanks to the dark interior, no silhouetting as there was a wall behind me, and the scrim net draped over me and my rifle to break up my silhouette and be less head-and-shoulders-shaped. Best part of the day for me was the 105m shot. For those who have played at Driver Wood, it was from the double decker bus on Oxford street all the way to the tower on the corner down the road. I had used my rangefinder in the previous game from that tower to see how far the bus was and it was just over 100m, and in this game after we had switched sides, I was sitting a few metres back in the bus to make sure that I wasn't visible to anyone close below, and also so that the other snipers in the tower couldn't drop shots onto me as I had a roof over my head. My celebration was short lived as my friend got taken out when someone sprayed full auto into the bus and I had to bug out, but still... 105m shot is always a nice one to hit. It was true airsoft archery though, as I had to aim at a significant angle and try and walk it in. Probably took about 10 shots to finally get the hit. There were a lot of long range shots today, with a lot of shots being 70m+, but the 105m shot was the stand out moment. So, my overall opinions of the site were very positive, but nothing's perfect and Driver Wood definitely has its issues. Hit taking was fine, though there were a few people taking the piss; however I saw the marshalls hit-checking players all day which was really great to see. The games weren't inspired, but they worked and did the job for a skirmish day. The site itself plays well, with no one way of playing feeling overpowered; there are plenty of long sight lines for a good sniper to take advantage of (which I enjoyed every moment of because Worthing is crap for sniping), but I never felt too dominant or untouchable and aggressive plays were often well-rewarded from what I saw (because I certainly wasn't doing it with my bolt action sniper rifle and 10rd mags!). The marshalling seemed decent from what I could see, and I didn't really have any issues there. Where I did have issues was after lunch there was a bit of spawn-camping (and I even overheard a player in the safe zone bragging about doing it...). In one game, we ended up just turning our roaming spawn (a spawn that can be attacked) into our hard respawn because the enemy team was all around our hard respawn and it was impossible to spawn there. Also, the team balance was abysmal. It feels like a lot of the regulars all stick together on one side (and I heard someone behind me in the safety brief saying that too), and our team lost literally every game through the day, though I don't mind that too much; I actually quite enjoy being on the weaker team and seeing how much damage I can do. The only thing for me was the spawn-camping; I hate spawn-campers. Oh, and the fact we go back to the safe zone after every game. That got really annoying too, but not the end of the world. Also, my LBE + backpack setup worked wonders. Carried everything I needed and really didn't feel heavy at all. Had it on for the whole day, fully loaded, and really didn't feel it because the weight was distributed so well. I might swap the right-side pistol mag pouch for a holster though and just run a pistol without a suppressor or flashlight. At that height, it'd be far too unwieldy with a suppressor, and my Warrior Assault Systems holster doesn't accept a flashlight, but I really didn't need the 4 spare pistol mags as I barely used my pistol. 2 spare mags would've been more than enough.

Putting aside my ambivalence towards the site, I set out this morning for Splatoon in Essex, having made sure that my rifles were wearing their barrel socks. The site was remarkably busy, with 120 players being present, representing a wide range of ages and experience, including a fair number of rentals. Because of this, four of us ended up sharing one picnic table; I was delighted to encounter Luke, a former Airsoft Plantation and Tower Airsoft marshal who I have known for a while and who had once offered me a marshalling gig on behalf of Tower's management. After going through the morning rituals, which included setting up the MP5SD2 and listening to the safety briefing and the somewhat vague briefing for the first game, we set off to the field for a game of spinners. Each of the three zones has a spinner with two colours; each team has to try to finish the game with their colour upwards in each zone. I started off in the centre zone, where we had a great fight, eventually managing to get what we thought was our colour up and defending it. After a while, I was hit, so went back to regen, where I bumped into Luke. We decided to go into the container field with a group of other regened players; unfortunately, at this point, it became clear that there was some confusion over which colour we were supposed to get pointing up. One marshal said that we had to get one colour up while another stated the opposite. Regardless, we had a great time exchanging shots and kills with the enemy until the game ended. It turned out that we had somehow managed to get all the spinners pointing up the way we needed them. Talking to some opposing players in the safe zone, it became apparent that they had also suffered from the same confusion and conflicting instructions, so I it may have been mere chance that resulted in us winning. After a mercifully short break to reload, we went out for a fallback game after another rather vague briefing which somewhat glossed over how many stages there were. As the attackers, we had infinite regens at our start point, while the defenders turned out to have one life in each of three areas. Attacking against 60 players in a very small area, our initial advance was slow and I made an awful lot of trips back to regen before we started making ground; after a long slog, we forced them out of the first area and regrouped before advancing into the first stage of the container field, where I got some excellent hits on defenders in the structures. Having eventually cleared that section, including some pesky snipers in the top woods who took ages to get rid of, we started our attack into the second part of the container field, but ran out of time before getting to the final objective. Having partaken of luncheon, during which some players left, another game rather inevitably ensued. Four large containers of water were scattered across the site; each team had to try to get them back to their regen. Firefights ensued all across the site as both sides searched for them and tried to get them back, during which a small group of us had a rather amusing private war with some opposing players in the lower zone which had nothing to do with recovering the containers. The game ended as a draw. After another break, during which more a lot more players left, mostly from our team, we played a reverse of the earlier fallback game; suffice to say that it went rather more quickly than the earlier iteration, with the remnants of our team being utterly steamrollered. I was hit almost immediately in the first section and fell back into the far corner of the first half of the container field; Luke and I decided to hide ourselves in the top woods in the hope that the enemy would declare the area clear without spotting us, thus incurring time penalties. This did not work. In the last stage, I had the pleasure of taking out several enemy players who were trying to move through the top woods and one impertinent chap who poked his head around a corner rather too often. Following this, I, along with many others, decided to leave, having had another less than excellent day at Splatoon. Luke's comment was that it seemed to be a decent site but the team did not seem to know how to use it effectively; I could not disagree. He will probably not return.

Welcome ✋ Sad that you're leaving the sport but you had some fun at least. (My guess is you're going to Australia?) Good luck with your sales.

I'd buy it for 60 quid (willing to negotiate) if you ship it

Update: I did receive an email from them saying the package was sent out and "failed delivery" and he would be happy to resend out the order, I already had a refund though PayPal and ordered elsewhere off this forum. I never received any tracking information. Did you pay via PayPal @Dev

Thanks for the help will check if everything will fit before I buy one

Welcome, the forum will be going over to new hosting software this week, so if you've got a lot to post up you might want to wait until after the "move", in case it gets lost. Before you do post kit for sale, please read the classifieds rules, in particular rule 5, & also be aware there is a 10 ad limit, so if you've got loads of items, best to amalgamate it in to groups.

Welcome, there's an appraisal section if you need ideas for pricing, the usual rule of thumb is 60-70% of current new price +/- depending on condition, accessories don't always add much value so up to you if you want to sell them with the rif or seperately, lots of decent pics always help (especially if the rif is relatively hi-end). There are also rules on selling in the classifieds so please familiarise yourself with them before placing an add.

Welcome.

Hello everyone! I've just created an account here in order to sell my entire arsenal and kit. I was going to fire up my old Zeroin account but it looks like that entire website got wiped so my decades old account no longer exists... So I've signed up to join your ranks instead to shift all this gear I've had sitting in storage for nearly 15 years now... And I thought i'd give a little backstory to those who might be wondering who I am and why a new account will suddenly have mountains of kit to sell! As I'm sure that could look a little sus. I started playing airsoft around 18/19 years ago and fell in love with it. Played for many years in and around the south of the England and made some great friends on those sites. After I went to Uni and got started with my career I didn"t have much time to play and as the years have gone on my large array of weapons slowly had to make space for the rest of my life and ended up in storage. And now its finally time to part ways with them as I haven"t played in over 7 years, I'm getting married and need to raise funds for the ever growing expense that's becoming, and then after that my wife and I will be emigrating to a country where Airsoft is outright banned... So it's all got to go and I'd rather see it go into the hands of someone who's going to actually use it rather than sit in the loft at my parents place for the rest of my life. So yeah, looking forward to meeting a bunch of you and seeing all the cool kit and weapons you've got, and try to not fall in love with the game we bloody love all over again haha Cheers! Feenix

Great bags, I've a couple.
