Couldn’t help myself.

[TheNotoriousLoki]

This morning while waiting to go to work, I was browsing the Air-Soft websites which I am planning to get my gear from.

The problem is the temptation was to high and I bought my first gun and all my other gear I need (still need to get boots).

I decided on the “Bulldog M4PI RIS CQB” bundle from JustBBguns.

https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/bundle-offer-bulldog-m4pi-ris-cqb-airsoft-gun-starter-set/

A carry case, extra battery, extra hi-cap mag, goggles & face mask. 
 

I then went over to patrol base and bought some trousers, hoodie, gloves, helmet and tax-vest.

that’s my early Christmas present to myself sorted. Now need to get the fiancé something lol.

I am limiting myself to this until I have my UKARA, then I will buy a side arm. 
 

hopefully it won’t make my broke but knowing my luck I will get so much I won’t know what to use.

Hi @TheNotoriousLoki ?

It’s like that in most cases with players and their gear! ???

I would have advised to get a more recognised make of rifle and some Li-Po batteries but I hope you have fun with your purchases ?

Thank you, fingers crossed the ones I bought will be okay.

Thank you, fingers crossed the ones I bought will be okay. 

They should be fine, Nimh batteries just lose power as they lose charge, Lipos have pretty flat power output as they lose charge.

Thank you for the information, I will make sure to look into Lipos instead next time. 
 

I did purchase an extra battery so I have two just in case.

The first parcel has arrived from Patrol Base.

in this parcel there is my trousers, hoodie, gloves, helmet & tactical vest.

all fits great and can’t wait to play my first proper game on the 19th December. 

hopefully the rest of my gear will be here the beginning of this week.

Hi @TheNotoriousLoki ?

Welcome to the never-ending temptations of acquiring airsoft gear... Hope you're first game goes well, I'm sure you'll love it!

Best advice I could give before spending any more moolah is - get out and play, play, play, that way you'll get a feel for what you'd need/like without wasting cash on stuff that sounds or looks great but is of not much use. Looks like you've got much of what you'll need to start out. I'd recommend 2 or 3 mags for reloads and maybe a spare battery.

Don't worry too much about sidearm at this stage.

Most importantly of all, enjoy!

I am playing at Bristol Airsoft, it’s a CQB site close to me. I am going with two friends, I have jumped the gun tho and got my gear before even playing my first game.

I have a M4PI coming with two extra mags & two batteries. The gun I went for has a conversation kit so when I have my UKARA I can make it into a RIF.

Not planning on a side arm for a while as want to get used to my rifle first. Hopefully when the weather improves next year I can go to Bristol Black Ops and high is more of an outside site where I can work on my long range.

As above plus call your hits!! ?

Regards 

I will be calling all my hits for sure including ones I am not 100% on, it’s better to call them then keep playing when you might have been hit.

Welcome, I just hope you don't regret buying anything from JustBBGuns.  Top tip - don't buy from a site with the word 'BB' in its title, their goods are not the best quality and they exhibit some decidedly shady business practices.  When buying a beginners gun, feel free to ask on the forum but give some form of price range.  There are some excellent cheap guns out there (CYMA AKs for instance) not sure about this one you have bought though! Hope it lasts a while.

I hope it lasts too, if not it’s a learning curve and I won’t be purchasing from them again. 
 

everything from patrol base has been good quality, I should have bought my gun from there. Fingers crossed the JBBG stuff will last.

Unfortunately my experience of the bulldog M4 is it may last you about 2 games or less some times a bit more but don't expect much. They used to sell them at a place I did 2tone jobs for and a lot came back. I'd send it back as soon as you get it and buy something more reputable like from the GG cm range.

SRC rebrand if I remember right?

Well fingers crossed it last longer then two games, it’s a learning curve.

I have seen a lot of SRC also on the same site, is that another brand to avoid at all costs?

Pretty much.  All brands have lemons and all brands have dogs that you should avoid, even high end retailers.  The trick is learning which is which.

I haven't used one myself, they have been around for over 20 years, they don't have a great reputation though.  I do hear the motors are pretty good though.  What worries me about sites like JustBB is they don't give any internal pictures of the gearbox, not even an external picture.  It's the most costly part of an AEG
