or even courts martial!

Edited your first post to make the web address a hyperlink. There are actually loads of very functional airsoft Facebook groups which are doing what you aim to do exceptionally well. Though for community driven pages to work they actually tend to be groups, pages aren't designed to be used as community hubs, they're more for advertising. The issue with it is the same as the issue with forums: There are loads. So if someone's looking for info they tend to just join the one they find first, or all of them, but then they'll frequent the one they like the best. You can't be the one that everyone likes the best and most people will already have a favourite, I'm a member of a few that have over 2000 members, which as far as Facebook groups go is about the same as a Facebook version of Arnies forums or something. Also, since you're new to the Facebook airsoft scene, you won't have been exposed to too much of the bullshit fuelled politics of airsoft yet. I would honestly say to just avoid airsoft related Facebook pages because almost every time anyone asks anyone for anything it'll turn into some sort of argument because it turns into an "I know this and you don't so I'm better" sort of ridiculous circle jerk of bollocks. You'll no doubt become accustom to it as your page gains popularity.

Nice trigger discipline

WHY YOU WANT SHITTY CHINA MADE OPTIC ON FINE RUSSIAN DESIGN RIFLE. SIGHT OF IRON PERFECTLY FINE. YOU ADD MORE AND MORE STUPID SHIT AND STILL CANNOT HIT LARGEST SIDE OF BARN. MAYBE ATTACH SEX DILDO AND FUCK SELF IN ASS FOR MAKING TRAVESTY OF FINE WEAPON?

I went to like 5 shops to try and find this stuff. Not even Tesco had it and then I saw a Morrison's and was like "May this store grant me it's treasure..." And I was looking all over the Kitchenware aisle I saw Cif Actifizz and Cif Easy Lift and and Flash and all that crap and I couldn't find it. Then I realized "dishwashing aisle!" I look around and when scanning I see a green bottle flash in the corner of my eye... 'tis the Fairy power spray hiding beneath the other products. I've never been so happy about finding a cleaning product.

I was thinking on the back left of my Soviet Y-strap webbing. Need to put mesh in her specs first though!

right so I'm looking to buy a G36 RIS from ares and I'll need to pay the taxes and duties on a package worth £52 inc p&p, what can I expect to pay on that?

Well if we are talking about man bags don't forget this hero !

Was about to suggest exactly the same. I think the fishing vest idea would be a good one too. Post apocalyptic means grabbing what you can find that suits the purpose, so any sort of shoulder bag for big items and a fishing vest would work. Jeans may not be the best thing though. Maybe cargo trousers or work trousers? Something baggy with lots of pockets.

The rules, booking details and other player information has been posted up on the Okto Eight Milsim Facebook page. Its going ahead - looks exciting.. Anybody who is not on Facebook or doesn't want to be, can email them on [email protected] and get a copy of the full PDF document.

Don't be another Glock user! Dare to be different! I currently run an Umarex Elite Force 75 (clone of KWA's KZ75/CZ75) as a secondary whenever I'm not running my TM M19 6" revolver. Both are a lot of fun to shoot (the 75 clocks in at a healthy 340 fps on green gas whereas the M19 is around 240) and get a lot of looks at game sites purely because neither are yet another glock platform or 1911. I think both have been handled/fired by other people more than I have myself lol.

It's like £7 everywhere I know... Patrol base, fire support etc

A paca or flak jacket would look right me thinks like below or even an old fishing vest

I never classed it as a "loadout" but short of a "post pictures of clothes you skirmish in" thread I suppose it'll have to go in here. If you'd read my post before commenting you'll see that I'm trying to achieve that post apocalyptic look Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead has. It doesn't need pouches and camo and chest rigs. It needs to be cut back and functional but as I said, it needs "something", I don't know what. The stuff I wear with my other gear (or "loadout" if you will) looks too military, the drop leg and boots go with it but even a shemagh looks wrong, let alone a chest rig. I'm looking at ordering some shotgun shell pouches to mount on a belt with suspenders as I reckon that won't look too out of place, I just can't go down the standard multicam and tan route- this needs to look like it's been lived in for 3 months whilst avoiding being eaten.......

I got excited when you listed the Super 90 with your AEGs. I NEED a semi-auto Super 90 in my life =[ On topic though, I think you should join the Glock master race. My mate Joe was like you, a non-believer. After his M&P died he bought a Glock 18 just because he wanted full auto, within mere hours of getting it, he was instantly a Glock fan lol. The WE Glocks are direct clones of the TM ones, they're cheap as chips, truly budget pistols, but the performance is mofudging amazeballs.

Just needed 2 coats of black and some matte varnish

Seems the appropriate amount of trigger discipline for when there are Zombies about!

Power spray is really quick, take the parts you want to strip, put them in a big Tupperware box or plastic bag, spray them liberally with powerspray, seal it up and wait 30-40 minutes then scrub like a mofo with a stuff brush. You'll probably want a pin or something to get the last bits out of the smallest gaps that the pin can't get.

My first rif G & G LR300 S........Ooooooo I'm a happy bunny !!!

It's a talent. Have you had any trouble with the repaint? Did you use anything special as a base coat? Actually give us the full method and results if you don't mind. I ask because Nitro Mors wrecks car paint jobs, because it takes the 'whojimaflibbet' base coat stuff off as well as the paint. We had a discussion about this a while ago and iirc the active ingredients of FairyPS are not as alkali as NaOh. I expect it will say use rubber gloves on the bottle, but NaOh is a different kettle of chemical burns. One of these days I'm going to strip my SVD (she is a repainted 2 tone - before she came to me / not my fault / accept no responsibility) and I plan to see how well soaking the plastic hand guards in a strong sodium hydroxide solution works, because it ought to be cheaper, but also because I don't care if they melt - i'll just get a wood kit.

I don't think you should get a pistol as your first gun. Go for an AEG, more specifically a Combat machine, you'll be happier with it.

Yes it's legal if you have a defence. And even if you don't nobody is gonna know or harass you about it.

HTC one m8 just arrived, not airsoft related but excited all the same.

Yeh its fine but not too good on a Fairy .......the court case is still on-going

Smartarse.

Yeah, but while we're on the subject of shooting glasses and/or workwear with kite marks coming out of their arses, let's just remember that someone got hit in the eye not long ago wearing this type of eyepro. Fortunately it seems he will be ok: fucking fortunately. It happened because these are not designed for airsoft. If they were there would be no/next to no gap between the frame and the wearer's face no matter from which direction a projectile approaches, because, as happened in this case, a ricochet can come at you from a direction which a direct shot cannot, such as directly below the frame if the BB bounces off a mask or, depending on the shape and angle of your head, off your gun or rig. £900... well, I'm another one who thinks the better part of valour lies in not adding up how much I actually spend on airsoft, since that way I cannot be asked to justify a figure which I do not have by any significant other/s. Although last week or so I attempted to buy a 3" piece of 1.6-ish mm stamped mild steel with literally no other redeeming features than its shape for over £30 posted and was not relieved but gutted when it turned out to be out of stock after all. I did have the good grace to know and fully admit that it was the kind of extravagance at which whatever passes for my snook is habitually cocked however and i'm here to echo other's advice regarding trying the sport before you spank your wallet and to tell you that if you plan to spend that much money in/around the time it takes to get UKARA registered and not long thereafter, you had best budget for a lot more as your annual spend because a good deal of what you get will turn out to have been stuff which is good, but not so much for airsoft, good for airsoft but not good for you, or entirely inappropriate and/or just shit. We've all done it, some more egregiously than others, and no doubt you will too*... thought something looks brilliant and how could it possibly not be good, only to discover that actually what works in films, or on real gunfighters in Afghan or wherever, is either not much use for airsoft or actively a pain in the arse... I'll take gloves as a glaring example. In ordinary airsoft they have 3 functions: keeping your hands warm; protecting your fingers from hits, which sting there a lot more than you'd imagine and girly screams go a long way towards ruining function 3 of looking cool. A lot of us wear hard knuckle gloves, because we want to look like the kind of operator who may decide that, rules of engagement with weapons being what they are, punching someone is on the agenda. I have a pair myself, although mine are clones and, since 1 thumb got shredded by being between me and an exploding BFG which I incautiously leant on, are also heavily modified to cushion my fingers when cocking my spring sniper rifle and take some of the following experience into account: Most of them are made for the kind of places soldiers are currently likely to go - hot and/or dry environments and so breathability is far more important than waterproof... not so on a cold wet Sunday in some muddy hole in Yorkshire. If a soldier gets shot in the hand, a piece of flexible moulded plastic held by its shape a few mm's away from his fingers will not save them, but this design is far and away the most effective protection from BB hits, beating even Pyrohide & Kevlar despite costing only a fiver, however even worse, for most of us, than looking a bit namby pamby, they look a bit paintball-ish! Military kit tends to be made with tough situations in mind, made to be operable just as well when roughly grabbed by desperate hands caked in shite as when being demonstrated calmly on a range, so anything a soldier may need to get hold of in a hurry will not have its operation hampered by the wearing of gloves through which the wearer can feel 3/5ths of fuck all... not so in airsoft: things that spring to mind are the flap/slide which keeps the BB's inside a hicap mag, speedloaders for mid/lo caps, blanks and loading tools for BFG's, the striker tabs/caps of pyros, and everyone who has ever paid £6+P&P to replace a lost one's favourite... AEG body pins of which some designs require the removal in order to change batteries. Now imagine if you had just spanked £65 on a pair of Southcombe Bros'? No matter how unsuitable they turned out to be, how much would your unconscious need to justify the expense to yourself, and others if we know about it, goad you to take issue with what I have just written? Ah but these ones are special... yeah whatever; tell it to yer missus when you next see her eyeing up shoes. I wrote this guide mainly for people who want to get into the sport/hobby but do not have your resources with which to proceed, but I reckon there's a lot to be said for starting out with forum and fleabay fifth hand specials while you rent guns, then buying a wombat machine and doing your best to make them work for you - you will know what features of expensive kit you want most ie the solutions to actual problems that you personally have had, what are not so important, and what don't matter at all, despite hiking the price up. Like many of us who bought cheap but good guns to start off, you will probably find that you will want to keep it even when you have plenty of more expensive options to pull out of your arsenal. *However we can but hope that, whatever your particular style of Nobheadery© and/or flavour of Emperor's New Clothes™, it doesn't cost you more than a month's enjoyment of the sport due to lack of funds for something which would have done the trick cheaper/better/with less anxiety over whether you will lose or break some part of it/etc. and in the absence of that, that someone lurking may read this thread and take note.
