Hey gang, sending gear to Ukraine?   We’ve had numerous phone calls and emails asking us about our donation to Ukraine. Originally, the shipment was supposed to be sent already before the attack but it ran into some logistical issues. Now the kinks have been worked out and we’ve made sure that all the gear will find its way safely to those that need it. We’ve also noticed that some of you have already purchased some gear to be taken to Ukraine.   We know you all want to help, but we also need to keep the realities in mind. “Infantry wins battles, logistics wins wars”, is the famous quote by General Pershing. Nowadays, when there is so much more gear than even just a hundred years ago, getting the right gear to the right place at the right time can be a nightmare. International post packages are not the way to go right now.   If you want to help the people of Ukraine, the best way to do that is to donate money. There are various organizations collecting donations, for example the Red Cross, Unicef and the UN Crisis Relief. You can even donate straight to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Donating money makes sure that it reaches the people who actually need it, and will be used for those purposes that are most essential right now.   Sometimes it feels better to purchase actual items, and of course these are also welcomed by the Ukrainians. Sending physical items always has its downsides though: will it arrive safely where it’s supposed to? In the midst of crises, all sorts of asshats come crawling out of their hiding places, supposedly gathering gear for a good purpose but ending up selling it to the highest bidder. There is no doubt that the Russian regime is also paying people to divert shipments away from Ukraine. So if you opt for sending gear rather than money, make sure that it will be sent where it’s supposed to.   If you want to purchase smaller batches, you can just make an order online or come straight to our physical store. If you want to haul a van full of gear at once, please contact our customer service so we can work out the details.   What do the Ukrainians need? We’re already almost out of ballistic helmets and bulletproof vests but we are trying to get more. Good undergarments and socks are always needed, combat boots in EU sizes 43 to 45, hats, gloves, combat vests, pouches, backpacks, first aid items and meal rations. Do not send Finnish M05 camo gear to an active warzone. Our own shipment contains combat gear, food and first aid items. We are also donating money.   The situation of the world is vastly different now than it was 19 years ago when Varusteleka was founded mainly to provide gear for airsofters. During the last six years, we have been developing proper gear also suited for active soldiers during wartime that keep you safe from bullets and fragments. Now that the war in Ukraine is escalating, we are working even harder than before to ensure a steady flow of gear even if Finland would be under military threat. Bulletproof vests and ballistic helmets are damn expensive items that offer little money to us, but we’ve decided to keep at least a platoon’s worth of gear in stock at all times. Let’s hope that we won’t need them.

Spam fritters will be on my Christmas dinner plate.  I'm having a starvation day today to make room, because I'm worth it.

Yes, you can only "win" so many airsoft prizes before the Home General gets suspicious

Mine has had both the Cree bulb installed (And a resistor to hold the power back a bit as it runs hot and will melt the ABS housing.) I also have a tighter lens installed.
 
It's quite dazzling now. 

Not that I know of.  I purchased a rail from Fire Support that fits a small tac light under the barrel. Much better lumen than the LAM and fits into the Viper adjustable holster easier. I use a DTD holster as it is much better and secures the Mk23. 

You can get a good cree led swap out which makes them immense.

The closest I found (that was decent quality) was the Solarforce L2 with a T6 LED drop-in. Sadly, these are now hard to find, my two will never leave my ownership.
 
Can you not just get an LED drop-in for the old 6P?
 

as well as that, i also have to deal with.... wife a teacher and kids at school.... they should keep them shut until the idiot numbers come out after the illegal NY celebrations and xmas and see where we stand towards end of Jan!.... im also a chairman of local U7 to UI18 football teams and we are still allowed to play games and train....so travel within tiers....which isnt allowed under Government rules....FA are a bunch of muppets!. They also need to halt sport as they have done for over 18s! 🤦‍♂️
 
Id feel safer out in the field, tales im many meters from people and in control!

I've got £10 on Biden with a work colleague.
C'mon Biden!

and there was me thinking you would all know i meant torches and PEQ boxes, tracer units....

It's on the top shelf in the bedroom cupboard next to the costumes and the riding crop and that's a bit too much information for a Wednesday.

But the question is, why does Roger keep his in the loft?

It reaches areas other rods cannot

Fixed this for you:

Or you buy now then you have some time to get it delivered, fettled and hit the ground running for when we can finally pew each other again.

I've had a UPS delivery too... the guy knocked on my door and left it at my door step and then waited till I opened it.. He was stood about 2m away...bless
 
It's in quarantine at the moment... dang!

The legality depends on whether it is readily convertible.  The current thinking seems to be that means anything that discharges through the barrel.
 
There's little point to having a gun shaped blank firer with any sort of barrel if you just want to make noise.  If you want to set off a 9mm blank, a BFG will do the job.

As discussed recently, you shouldn't expect them to biodegrade in any meaningful way if they're just lying around in a garden.  PLA has to be industrially composted for it to break down in under a thousand years or so.
