A few bits I've acquired, I'm new to airsoft so I'm pretty happy so far, got multi cam ubac and trousers,

DON'T LAUGH. It's beautiful. "Age 14+"

You're never going to see where you're going with that big black thing over your face.

Nah Bled, it shouldn't have a disase in the first place Bled.

Just thought I would introduce myself... My name is Al and im from North London, I have been skirmishing for a few months now as my brother has introduced me to the sport and I am slowly building up kit. I have a few questions regarding my next big purchase and kit and will be interested in customising a Rifle in the very near future so expect a lot of silly questions from me I know forums are a great way to get advice and guidance about things so here I am. Hopefully I shall be contributing to the forum in a positive way. Thanks and HELLO!!

"Why not" should be the question.

VFC S&W M&P9. Pretty sweet little modern sidearm.

Showing my age but . . . . . A LS M655 kit (basically a M16A2 fixed stock carbine) around 1984, cost £25. All ABS plastic, glue and screw together, spring cocking, no hop, prob 180fps tops! Bought from my local model shop when I was 14 and "RIF" and 2 tone wasn't even thought of! First proper gun was a TM MP5K PDW around 1990.

Save up more for the Combat machine, you'd be better off in the long run.

terrible idea, I'm a horrible cunt!

I a millionth everyone saying to keep saving! Just skirmish as a rental if you want to and forget the side arm for now, or for good! I had no money and saved up slow and decided not to buy much cheaper guns that looked cool and get a Tokyo Marui which was what my heart was really set on. Impatience leads to short term solutions that nearly always lead to you making the correct choice you should have the first time.

Ok, so I've only been into Airsoft for a couple of months, but am totally hooked, just picked this gun up today along with the scope & everything else (Mags / Batteries etc. etc.) Suffice to say, i've had a case of open wallet surgery today!!

no. just no. pro airsoft supplies are the guys I'd recommend for a beginner, they do some really good starter packages.

Hoping for this to be good!

because no reason.

Anyone not cohering with these rules will face a suspension, ban or deletion of their account, this includes all posts and topics. The Guidelines • Search There is a search feature on this forum that will help you to find information that may have already been posted up. Often people experience very similar problems so the chances are that your question has already been answered is highly likely. Regulars to the forums will usually be aware if your question has already been answered several times before, so some may become annoyed you didn't use the search feature. There is a three character minimum length for searching, i.e. MP5, hpa, fps. Try using different search terms to get more results. • Giving advice Give solid advice only if you are sure what you are talking about. Don't mislead people as at best you are risking their money, and at worst, you are risking their safety. It's much better to say your only guessing and let others add to your answer than to lead the person into doing something wrong, and coming back and pointing the finger at you. • Post in the appropriate sub-forums If you want to chat about the latest Airsoft releases, do it in "Latest News". If you are new to the forums and want to ask a question, it might be best in the "Advice & Technical Help" forum. If you want to sell something, the "Classifieds" forums are the place to announce it. Basically, have a look at all the categories and post where you think your topic will be best suited. • Use descriptive titles for new topics Posting a topic with the title "Look here!", or "Please help", will not attract the attention of the users. If you use titles like "JG G36C gearbox problem", or "New gun from ICS!", more people will view your post and will know what they are about look at. Do not post titles in ALL CAPS, do not post misleading titles ("clickbait"). • Use good English and check your spelling! "1337-Speak" should also not be used on these boards. Nor should "text speak", use your word processing software to check for basic spelling and grammar errors, we aren't looking for the best English, but it is a lot easier to read a checked post, than another like, "hi, wel i av a prob wiv me gun u c nd i dnt no wot 2 do". Adding punctuation, full stops and commas make it easier to read. • Use Personal Mail (PM) Instead of posting in a Sales / Swaps topic which will cause it to 'bump' that topic just use your PM to communicate asking and answering questions. Sellers should be aware that any post, for whatever reason (especially answering questions or making a comment), that are before the 7 days is considered a bump. If you cannot receive PM then try deleting some old ones to free up space. • Caps lock Do not post in all Caps lock as it looks like you are shouting at somebody and is also very annoying to read. Topic and advert titles are to be in normal sentence case, not in all CAPITALS. • Don't post duplicate topics Multiple topics started about the same thing may be deleted, merged or moved at the moderators' or my discretion. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules • Use "Smileys" effectively "Smileys" can be used in your forum posts. If you are joking about something, use them to help indicate that your statement was made humorously. They can be used to indicate your mood and show that something was not meant to be taken seriously. If you don't use them, people will assume you are being serious. Arguments have broken out before because of a misunderstood joke. • No Arguing Don't argue, if you feel offended by the comments of another user or believe a post is offensive, report it to the moderators, and they or I will be deal with it. Starting a fight may result in sanctions for all those involved. Our first decision is our final one! • Be nice to other forum users Treat others as you would like to be treated to yourself. There is absolutely no need to be abusive on these forums. If you are then your posts / topics will be edited or deleted, you may be given a warning, you may get your account suspended, and persistent offenders will be banned. • Post Spam Don't post just to raise your post count, there is no bonus in it, and moderators will become frustrated with the spam. Continued post spamming will result in a suitable sanction. • Be Constructive If you don't have something constructive to add to a thread then don't post at all. This applies especially in the "Classifieds" section, if you have something to say, PM it to the seller. Comments like "good luck with the sale" or "nice gun" are also not appreciated. Repeatedly ignoring these guidelines when you post, may lead to your posts or account being moderated/edited. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules Forum Rules The following are rules that must be adhered to. Failure to follow these rules will attract the attention of the forum moderators. All moderators are friendly people and follow the rules laid out to them, they are there to enforce the forums rules, if you have a problem with a particular moderator please PM me "proffrink" personally. • Thread bashing/trolling There will be some posts or threads in the forum that you may not like. If you dislike somebody's thread or some of the people participating in the discussion simply don't bother reading or replying to it. Posting/trolling in it with the sole purpose of having it closed (bashing) will not be tolerated. • Off topic Try to stay close to the original topic of a certain thread as much as you can. If you wish to talk about something else make a new topic, do not use an existing one. Remember to use the search function as there may already be a topic for what you wish to talk about. • Spam Adding posts that contribute nothing to the conversation (spam) will be deleted or merged with a previous post. Do not "bump" your threads by posting irrelevant information or just "bump". It is spam and will be deleted. Continuous spamming will result in warning points being added to your account, a suspension, or a ban from the forums. • Advertising No one is to use their account to place advertisements in their signature, avatar or any posts. Anyone caught will have their account, including all posts and topics deleted. They may also be banned by IP depending on the seriousness of the offence. • Duplicate Accounts Each user is only allowed one account. Duplicate accounts take up valuable system resources and annoy other forum users. It is very easy to spot duplicate accounts created or used by the same person, and any duplicate accounts found will be removed. Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate IP ban, deletion of account and removal of all posts and topics. • Absolutely NO References glorifying or inciting drug-misuse References glorifying or inciting criminal behaviour or violence Images or videos of graphic violence Images or videos of an adult or graphically sexual nature Images or videos that show drug misuse • Racial, Sexual and Religious Equality This site makes no discrimination between people of different race, gender or religion. Airsoft is a sport for all, and these forums reflect that. We welcome everyone except those who demonstrate intolerance toward others. • Illegal/Banned Subjects You cannot discuss anything that will help someone break the law in his or her locale. This means talking about: How to evade paying tax on imported goods How to make a semi-automatic replica shoot fully-automatic in a country that does not allow this feature How to make your own or modify pyrotechnics How to get restricted items past customs How to get restricted items if you are under-age Any other illegal activities If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read the and follow the rules The link is very accessible from within the Classifieds forum if you wish to read the rules at a later date. Thank you for reading!

I'd get running from Ed now with that reply

For lipos search hobby king or component shop... Measure your internal battery space and go from there For mosfets I recommend small companies or private MOSFET builders, I buy the HamsterFet, does everything I want and even has a self resetting fuse! If it's a private seller they get proper stress tests and QC tests, the same as the more expensive mosfets.

Yes it is and GPMG in the middle obviously haha

TM AK47S Ex rental. Memory is spotty on it,but It was in very rough shape. Stock broken off,receiver cracked,handguards held on with tape,shit ton of screws missing,no sights,etc.. used it for about a year until I blew up the fuse(Somehow) decided I got enough use out of it and threw it in a bin. Was a nice enough gun. Being in Ireland TM are just about the best thing bar upgraded guns since they're noticeably better at 1J than a lot of other stock guns Replaced that with a CYMA M4 CQBR than I had for a few months before I had to return it because it,well,disintegrated and was a massive lemon in general. Then got a TM VSR and here I am now.

Non blowback TM Desert Eagle. In about the mid 90's at a guess. Closely followed by the TM SPAS12 I still have to this day.

both good guns. if you want to skirmish, get the AEG first. don't buy from that homepage.

1. A sport where people gather to simulate a war using guns that fire 6mm plastic pellets. 2. You get to shoot people without killing them, it's great exercise, meet new people, works as a team, a reason to spend a lot of money, show off to your friends how badass you are, you get to shout at people in games (wouldn't recommend it if you're a minor), stick two fingers up at JBBG (highly recommend for all ages)

I guess I have my answer! Thanks all for the help!

Combat machine.

I wish I'd visited this site before I made the mistake of making a purchase from bbguns4less.co.uk - they overcharged me, the kit was very poor quality and customer service is non-existent. I've sent them countless emails and tried calling them but they are just ignoring me as they seem to do with everyone after they have the money. Scammers and charlatans... allegedly. The owner of the company, Jonathan Crick, also owns bungeetrampoline.com - if his safety record is anything like his business ethics then I wouldn't let my kids within 5 miles of his equipment. I'll do some proper research here before buying anything else - if by some miracle bbguns4less.co.uk realise that in the internet age unhappy customers can warn lots of people about dodgy practices then I will update my post.

Classic Army Mp5's are great.

I have found that the lowest on the hierarchy are the ones that shout the loudest about those appearing to "act up". the non paras who scream and fuss about wearing a beret, or the privates complaining about rank. Those that are higher up the chain seem to take a less serious view and are a lot more relaxed about some things. Arn't the guys at firesuport both ex forces, and look at them, they almost run the British airsoft industry.

+1 and +1 for Ainsley. The CM030 is fantastic, you can nab 'em real cheap, magazines are very cheap too.

Now another thing that sent a alarm off in my head about the shop , selling shotguns .......guess he is a licenced firearms dealer...if not he really is looking at a long stretch at her majestic ones displeasure..

Oh. Well then I refer you to Mike's original comment lol.

£80 for a good AEG isnt much mate, if i was you i wouldnt buy a side arm and add the money together for 1 good AEG. Sidearms arnt needed...

Yeah, sounds like the sort of mong who supports Britain First even though they're basically Nazis. Lots of thick yobbos in the forces, unfortunately. No disrespect to those who aren't, of course. But there's no denying it really. They join up through some misguided sense of patriotism, when really their ideals are anything but.

hey it could have been worse, could have been a fresh out of phase 1 trainee, or a Major/Lt Cdr/Made-up-crabfat-rank who didn't need the money anyway!

It's cheap nasty crap mate personally I'd stretch to £150 and get a G&G CM16 or CM model possibly even GR

Oops, thanks for the correction !

Most sites are happy if you have an accompanying adult. I have seen some young players at Spartan airsoft, which is up near Bristol Airport. Bristol Airsoft does under 18's games on a Friday evening.

I'm at the Sywell airshow on Sunday (near Northampton) and they are doing a display there. Looking forward to it

A set of ALICE webbing and pouches - still need the water bottles and buttpack though. Also had 'that' conversation with the wife who is slightly upset at my purchase history on ebay....whoops, must stop the collecting for all of a month I reckon!

Baest gaem yeaht, n00bs gaet rekt buy da peppars 15/3 ~ IGN 100/69 ~ Metacritic Yeaaahhh Boiii/100 ~ Ainsley

I got bored.

Not many people doing Multiglam black at the moment though. Same with ATACS LE and Kryptek Typhon. That said the TruSpec stuff is pretty good. Just depends on how much you want it and what your budget is I guess...

lol duck Because i wants to Be Specialz..anyone not in multicam is in All black i just want to be a little different is that such a Criime XD

Well I suppose if you want to stir up a hornet's nest with a unique loadout: get a T Shirt printed with the words on it: YOUR LOADOUT LOOKS GAY !!!!! then see how fast you can run as you get lit up quicker than Blackpool Illuminations

you can probably do a lot worse, personally I would go with the G36, although for your situation, both would probably suffice.

For a link on finding a skirmish site (place to play) near you then please see the following sticky/pinned topic which can be found in the Skirmish Sites forum: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/?showtopic=3580
