The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Camelbak aren't cheap. But then they don't make everything taste of plastic either.

I have a Pentagon one that has never tasted of anything from the word go, I would say that all the major manufacturers have decent spares availability for bit valves etc but then I guess that would be countered by "it's only £4 I'll just throw it away and buy another one".

You pays your money and takes your choice.

I’m a right tight arse when it comes to buying gear (cheaper the better) but I’m with Lozart on this one , camelbac/platypus/source/etc there hydro bags which are fully food safety rated un like the cheaper ones which are made from bog standard polyvinyl ( camel bac us copolyester polymer )The branded ones you can leave the water in it for over a wk and it’ll have no effect on it , the water in PV ones will start absorbing in under 12hrs (why when you get your kit ready the night before it tastes ‘plasticy’ The next day) so yea I break my own rule and buy the expensive ones when it comes to hydro bags . 

 
ICS APE and some .30g BBs to try.  Will be testing .25, .28 and .30 in the Tippman and APE on the weekend.

 
Managed to pick up some reduced eye pro from Pro Airsoft Supplies. Bolle Iris Twilight for 4 quid, Bolle Rush+ Smoke for 3 quidish. 

More importantly picked up the kick ass Edge SBR610 for just £33 quid. Some of the best glasses you can get for non fogging and has a pretty good seal against my face considering its not full seal goggles.

1 point sling. Never used one before unless you count quick release I was using that came over my right shoulder which i found it just didn't work that well for changing sides when coming to corners unless it was unclipped. 

Looking forward to that coming so I can try it out. 

Also bought 4 x extended mag pouches for my UMP mags along with a spiderman patch ✌

 
So this happened... 

I wasn't sure about ordering it with some of the advice I had been given recently, but once the pre-order option popped up I just had to do it! Apparently there is going to be a shortage of mags initially so ordered 4 extras for now. With any luck i'll get it in two weeks. 

I just cant get enough of the Tavor...

Is that the KWA?  I saw mention of it coming out of IWA this year, didn't expect it to show up this soon.

Someone at PAS really needs to check their spelling too.

Yup! KWA OEM. I am surprised at the speed it is coming out as well. Hell I am surprised anyone is even bothering to make a GBB Tavor at a commercial level.

Saw your post and thought “ooh discounted kit !” I’m a sucker for sales goods .

so had a look put a ‘moderate’ order together went to pay AND they want £9 postage ! They can well and truly foxtrot off ! No wonder I buy (as do a lot of others) kit from overseas when UK retailers take the piss like that ! ?

If you go through the checkout procedure to "shipping" it will  give you an option for Royal Mail small packages which is about £5. 

I think its a website design issue where a default shipping option price is shown before the actual shipping selection page. 

As I have only bought local I couldn't comment!

Definitely a surprise, nice one though.  Not many other GBB bullpups out there and even fewer I'd consider worth buying.  If they do an X95 I'll snap it right up for sure, but in the mean time definitely look forward to hearing your thoughts on the gun.

Well the only decent non kit bullpup at the moment is the GHK Aug. :) But yes, I cant wait! Though I don't have much to compare against gas wise. 

 
More BBs as i’ll be skirmishing 4 times in July  ? 

ordered a maple leaf hop unit and and barrel set for my G17, on the hunt for some mags for it as well if anybody knows somewhere cheap?  

 
Hyphestus do the original Tar-21 that’s based on GHK g5 internals. Not sure how readily available they are though.
