The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Ever since i 1st saw Kryptek i knew i was going to have some at some point. It is just completely, totally tdb / sci-fi come to life, man - it's taken a while, but it's paid for... just waiting on post from Latvia :lol:
Yeah I kind of like it now, didn't hugely at first apart from mandrake but have recently taken a liking to it. I probably won't ever wear a full set as I pretty much decided to just mix camps from now on but will need to get some bdus in some of the patterns at some point soon.

Yeah, i can image that any of the patterns other than Typhon would look great on kecks with either of the ATACS pattern shirts. Even Multiwank kecks would probably look better than they usually don't under a Kryptek shirt. Holy splodges of colour, Batman! I've just realised how ACU (or whatever ppl are calling it these days) could actually look 1/2 decent - kecks under Kryptek Typhon shirt!

Cooler Fan Version Outdoor Paintball Airsoft Glasses Goggle Ski anti-fog lens £24 posted - i read a good review on fb just now & the ESS knock offs i bought with the fan in the top centre turned out to be a bit sh*t, but the geezer reckons these have the fan at the side and that it circulates the air nicely - we shall see in a month...
any idea what batteries they take?

Actually no, I don't know, and yesterday i got banned from No Bullshit Airsoft for telling a cheeky bell end to fuck right off and die, so I can't actually go back to find out from the geezer i got the tip from - but you could. It's in a thread started by Martin Squirrel about eye/facepro with fans... geezer called Daniel Summitposh-Aruthers IIRC (that's a joke btw, it's just Dan double barrelled name). My guess would be AAA though...

 
Where did you get it from, mate?
From here: http://www.bbguns365.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59&products_id=512

Which means it is a two tone, but I have it on good authority from Sitting Duck on this forum that the blue is sprayed rather than moulded material, and under the blue it is a wood colour, so it's just a case of removing that and it'll be a RIF, although apparently it was a bit of an arse ache to remove the blue according to SD. It appears that site had three for sale yesterday at that price, and I bought one, so if you fancy one, then that presumably means they have two left, and that is definitely the cheapest place to get hold of one, they are around 150 quid everywhere else.

 
Had to go and buy a we m4/416 charging handle as the one that was provided with my gun had physically snapped, I blame either bad packaging or someone who didn't care about how the party received the gun

 
gave in & bought 2 x CM122 pistols on offer at Gunfire @ 40Euro or about £32 each

that a47 was blue and after sanding (fairy ain't shifting that amount of paint) it came out

with a sort of light faded or aged look - still plastic but smooth as a baby's ar$e

coat of varnish to finish and she will do me - still got a touch of blue on bottom of stock

(looks better/darker is wiped with damp cloth hence a coat of varnish will be sweet)

pic may appear bluey in places on some parts of stock but trust me it ain't like that at all - no sirs

(seriously was on an OCD mission to get every possible bit off - took hand guard off too & de-blued the holes etc..)

wasn't too bad really - heavy/medium/fine sandpaper & a bit of elbow grease

EP3's are not too bad, but tbh all multi-chamber stylee plugs suffer from 2 major drawbacks - 1) they are only as effective as their fit in your ear'ole allows, so do not be afraid to modify them to make sure that they do go right inside, so that those flanges make good contact with the walls of your ear canal forming completely enclosed chambers inside, and 2) the more effective they are, the less you will be able to understand speech, because they attenuate upper frequencies much more than lower, which is the area where the sounds which distinguish consonants fall, such as the difference between the plosives "P" and "B"...

If you are serious about ear protection, you need to have plugs tailor made for your ears. I use these. They are very comfortable and give around -30dB protection. However they are still useless against low bass and subsonics, so you should still do your best to avoid being in rooms with pyros...

These are made with Hocks Noise Brakers http://www.hocksproducts.com/hocks_noise_braker%C2%AE so they claim to reduce high SPL sounds while still allowing normal hearing of speech. We'll see. If that doesn't pan out I'll be looking at the Peltor electronic 6S ear defenders which I know work well having used some for shooting.

Received my tactical tailor operators cap a few weeks ago, this morning my softshell jacket arrived from aliexpress for £27. Actually I was surprised by quality.
Tactical Dalmatian as well haha
Just purchased a new pair of Czech Army jack boots to replace my old (read: finally disintegrated) ones. Size larger than I usually wear but at £15 I couldn't pass it up. Also got a new Czech ushanka to go with them for the back breaking price of 99p (gotta love eBay) with £2 postage.

Just picked up a new Emerson kryptec highlander fast helmet cover and an eagle6 m90 spring for my TM CQBR.

Trying to sell off kit I never use to fund my new team camo.

 
An emerson ubacs in kryptek, doesn't say which one but looks like highlander? Although a bit more green than there's supposed to be, but its only cheap so not too bothered.

 
Just purchased my Warrior Assault Systems DCS OD Plate Carrier with 3 quick mags. Should hopefully be with me in a few days. This will be the beginning of my loadout (will try and get some A-Tacs FG clothing in the near future)! :D Also gonna get some velcro patches soon.

Quick Q: Does anyone know where I can get a custom velcro name patch for cheap?
