Getting there just a bi-pod now and a little cam

Take your hits and don't be a dick.

Hate to be THAT guy, but the P08 was around before the Nazi party was

Mags! :D just the right amount as well! enough lowcaps to fill my rig, enough mids to last a game, a few highs and 3 svd mids (lucky fit into the box as well!)

With the amount it'd cost to take your dad to civil court and sue him for the value of the guns it'd be cheaper to go to three skirmishes and buy new ones.

Don't rush into it. Takes a bit of work to get it working correctly, I have fixed the leaks on the mag, adjusted the firing pin spring tension to get more consistent shooting and just need to get the fill valve working better. Soo much fun to shoot though and the 15" bayonet I have for it raises a few eyebrows. I have skirmished it once, comments from my team indicate that when I did a bayonet charge, it scared the crap out of them (the actual comment was, 'we actually thought you were going to kill someone'). Still at £245 delivered, including tax and customs fees its a real bargain.

Solidfox copy of the Crye CPC for £168 shipped

Real Sword SVD Plain wood & steel weathered for the 'trusty veteran' look. Because it has all the 'people's gun' cool of an AK but stretched out and a sniper rifle should be looooong! For pistols I'm in love with H&K P.45 Match and one of these days I will buy one, but also... Yarygin MP-443 "Grach" It's like a P226 for people with big hands

such sniper! much cosplay! wow!! edit: should have put the krink as 2nd.. oh well.. next time!

At 290FPS you should use 0.2g BB's. Basically 0.25's don't give you any advantage until around 345FPS-ish (with 0.2's) - heavier than that should be left for DMR's and BASR's (Bolt Action Sniper Rifles).

The thing about buying 'pre-upgraded' guns is, are they the upgrades you would choose? Admittedly I've been out of the loop for a while, but a couple of months ago G&G MOSFET's still had a major question mark hanging over them, as in they were burning out. IIRC they couldn't handle LiPo's over 20C. Now for sure an average 11.1V 20C LiPo is better than even a VP Racing 1600mAh 9.6V NiMh, but a Turnigy Nano Tech LiPo isn't significantly more expensive than an average LiPo and delivers far more power faster... and cooks G&G MOSFET's... And that's just the most obvious issue. You need to decide if what you get for the extra you are paying is worth it compared to what you could fit to a wombat machine for the same money. But don't forget to factor in the value of hassle... both in learning to gun tech vs sending a gun to someone else and down time due to unforeseen fuck ups.

We had one of those. I didn't like it because we don't single people out when all they're trying to do is learn, because that isn't fair. Now we don't have that thread any more. We were all new to airsoft once, we all wanted to know everything right away, and I welcome anyone who is so enthusiastic that their thirst for knowledge is literally bursting out and they're owning up to their ignorance and asking questions instead of just bumbling along, people like that are the future of our sport and often turn out to be formidable opponents. To stop being classed as a noob, you have to show respect to other noobs who are trying to learn the things you probably didn't know yourself once upon a time, and you have to accept that when someone is asking their quick questions and is looking for simple answers, in my Quick Questions & Simple Answers thread, they have every right to do so, only then, grasshopper, are no longer a noob. Thread cleaned.

I've got 18 M4 mags, but my rig only holds 12 mags.. liek dis if u cri evr tim

A hundred quid? Are you using faberge eggs as grenades?

Yet another mag for my ASG MK23 Socom @ £26.99 with free postage. I swear this thing is turning into my primary weapon since I use it so much. Since the fixed hop is great for .3g BBs, I may look at putting in a new inner barrel, adding a scope rail and turning it into a Designated Marksman Pistol like I saw someone do on a different forum haha

don't take the game too serious - it is just that a game very likely you will go negative K/D - big deal, I'd rather go neg & have fun than go pos & be unhappy coz 1 guy never took his hit or 8itch about unfair decision or lost round - ffs it is just a game of pretend soldiers really call your hits - if people don't play fair or at least try to play fair the whole thing falls apart, somtimes rebounds or ricochets can count as hits - so ensure you listen to the briefing in the morning from main marshals. Also pay attention when they explain rules/objectives of each game often things change eg: this round you can use full auto but only if xx ft from enemy - you miss this and you get bollocked or get owned coz you was still on semi when you could of been on auto etc..... so listen to marshals - and ya team too safety - do take seriously - your own & other players safety is paramount unless you can afford to lose teeth/eye etc.... cqb is very different to woodland and they know you are coming so will be dug in expect to get shot a number of times as you/team try to breach - check corners taking nothing for granted - when you look - peek quickly with as little possible exposed - watch the reg/pro's - talk to them, and listen to them..... above all have fun & stay safe, don't get stressed - even if some bell end winds you up, it is just a GAME so enjoy yourself

I bought a kriss vector because I'm besotted with the look of them. The mechanics of the recoil system in the real gun is what grabbed me, the first I'd seen and whilst researching I came across an airsoft KWA version. This is how I found out about airsoft. From that moment on I wanted to try airsoft and all I wanted was a vector. Now i skirmish regular with my vector causing absolute mayhem with it.

It sounds quite loud actually. I've had ppl whom I couldn't see put their hands up and come out from behind bushes when I fired a couple of probing shots towards them... I can only guess they shat themselves and didn't want to risk being hit by it lol! I use any old 12g bulbs (most of mine are either Crossman or Umarex, but a few have no markings on them) - 3 times i've spotted deals too good to miss and i got about 15 when I bought some Thunder B grenades 2nd hand also. Just bear in mind that brand new they fire at around 370FPS or just over 1st shot and drop a few each time in successive shots down to about 355 which is the minimum you get until the bulb needs changing, so even if a site allows CO2 guns, these will be too hot for most. It only took a few months of plinking before the 1st shot was consistently under 370FPS though, so I could use it @Skirmish Mansfield as a sidearm. There are a few woodland sites which allow up to 370 and some, like GZ, which allow any semi-auto gun to fire up to 425 without a MED. Oh yeah, if you fire say 5 shots, it's not long before the 1st of another volley will be back at 370+FPS - less than 5mins.

If you are determined to buy a cheap pistol regardless of what has been said about saving for a rifle, etc. then get this. I have 2 - I bought the second 2nd hand because you cannot get spare mags for them, hence i now have 1 pistol, 1 spare, & 2 mags. They are CO2, they are too hot for most sites, but eventually the mags wear out a bit and give under 350 FPS (a couple of thousand shots). The reason for this is a matter of speculation, but the most plausible explanation i've heard is that using them with the cheap multi-purpose 12g CO2 bulbs does not allow any lubrication inside the valve, unlike the expensive Walther CO2 bulbs which are made for pistols and contain silicone oil. The lack of lube prevents the valve opening as much as previously and less CO2 is allowed through per shot. Performance wise they are pretty good, especially when you consider that they equal or better the performance of most pistols up to double the price. The hop up is fixed though, so effective range is always going to <25m and you must use 0.2g BB's to shoot further than 10m without having to aim up. Even before I modded the grip with an ergonomic exact fit to my hand, at 7.5m I could get a 3" grouping from 5 shots aiming with just the one hand, ie not supporting grip with left hand. With a two handed grip at 7.5m I could put 10 shots within 2". Since I put the grip-mod on I can get the same accuracy from single hand grip as I could with two hands before.

I do have a crappy chinese one, but I don't use it for skirmishing. I use mesh goggles and a half face mask, but I am going to upgrade to ESS advance V12 I reckon. Not sure as I have never seen them but maybe this would work with your boogie regulators http://ant-supplies.co.uk/Pages/FullFaceMeshAirsoftMasks.aspx I have no real clue on battle belts so you should probably ask someone else

Sounds like you should also read this.

All that says is that G&G has quality control issues and someone could still get a good gun or a bad one. That in itself is one of the major complaints people throw at WE so its not like its OK that I have received two lemons, it just goes to show G&G has problems still.

A lot.

and why would you sue your dad. I kinda hope you were joking, I would look at it like he as doing you a favour, you were probably never going to get them back, its the police for gods sake they can pretty much do as they please (and cover it up if they have to, although I doubt anything like that would happen in the scenario)

This would be my loadout if I were in your position Primary: t4-18 gen 2 seondary- depends, if you have money maybe a WE glock or a TM of some sort, but leave this till last. Gear: issue multicam/woodland kit inc top, trousers. Buy boots off of cadette direct or some place like that. RIG/PC: TMC/EMERSON JPC, and buy a few mag pouches, and maybe a bigger pouch for other things to carry around. Accesories: Plenty of heavier bbs, maybe a red dot, probably some mid caps, ( i think you get 1hi cap, that will be fine with some mid caps, will last you to lunch) say the mid caps are 150 rounds, then 3 of them means you have 900 rounds fully loaded and only need 1 mag pouch when you load the gun with a mag. SPEND A DECENT AMOUNT ON GOOD FACE PROTECTION, you can't replace your eyes £30+^^^ If you decide you want to play indoors maybe a torch/flashlight ? that would be what I would do, I have probably forgotten something, so I will edit it in if I have

i was in the same boat as you, looking round and deciding what i wanted. in my case i did my 3 times in 2 months, and then purchased once my UKARA had come through. i had the same dilemma with regards to guns - should i buy a cheaper gun to start with and then look at upgrading when i got confident/ wanted a higher spec gun. the problem that i can foresee with the CMs is that they are not metal bodies - i know this is not a major point for everyone, and some poeple will say that metal bodies arent always as strong and are heavier etc, but to each their own. the other decision was that Top Tech machines have upgrades already done to them - tight bore barrel, high torque motors, enhanced wiring and some have mosfets fitted to allow for 11.1V lipo. all of these were things that i would have looked at doing at some point during my ownership, if not almost immediately, so i figured that i would just go for the TR4-18 gen3 straight off. im still yet to properly play with mine having had a few issues, but G&G have been excellent, and i should be putting a few thousand BBs through it shortly getting it going. the biggest problem that i have found so far, is that once you have got your gun, you start looking on the forum classifieds for extras that you can add to your gun or your kit - ive already started looking at an under slung grenade launcher, as well as scopes, helmets etc etc - trying to curb the spending is a struggle

You can use it as a pistol because it's that light weight, lol. You'll be fine.

Another one for you

Can you tell I'm going home tonight?

I find some sort of dot sight is always nice to have, much easier and faster to sight in than iron sights and you can still see them in the dark. Similarly a torch of some description can always be handy, even in the day I've used mine to blind snipers before, and they can help you track your shots when you can't otherwise see them. Are they needed to play the game? No, definitely not, but they make it easier in select situations and if you ever get the opportunity to play a night game, then you'll already have your gun suited up for it.

To be honest you don't NEED anything, it's all personal preference.

I use colemans, bought a bottle about a year ago for £9.99 off Amazon and works great. Still have third of the bottle left. on a good day I get 3 full mags from one fill.

Ooooopppphhhh the Cyma one is proper tempting..

Ambient Temp dependent. A Colemans Propane Bottle will do roughly - 30 on GHK G5 Mags 35 on Prowin V2's 20-30 on WE M4 Mags 35-40 on WE SMG8 Mags 30-40 on G&P PMags 20-25 KWA Vector Mags A WE Green Gas will do roughly - 15 - G5 15-20 - Prowin 10-15 WE M4 Mags 15 - SMG8 Mags 20 - PMags ~10 - Vectors These are all taken from practice, Propane, even with colemans tanks works out a helluva lot cheaper. However, quite a few sites near me for example, have blanket bans on Propane for BS reasons (basically to sell their own stock at exorbitant prices) The other thing you've got to factor in, with mags with exceptionally long gas times (cough, vector) the WE Green fill tip actually freezes shut, rendering the can unusable, where as using the AI propane adapter, negates the problem as its made from polymer rather than metal. Oh and the Madbull adapter, steer well clear of, its junk.

the lee enfield is by far the prettiest rifle out there. my founding regiment were the first to use it in british services and the "15" bayonet" is refered to as a sword

Viper Multicam M4 double pouch Offset rail adaptor Torch holder for above, only to find my torch does not fit GRR And attempted to buy a RIS front end for my MP5K to be told "we cant find it sir", left my number, 2 hours later, "we have found it, do you still want it" GRRRRR So spent money, but a few GRRRs lol, will pop back to the store tomo and finish up my Mp5K FINALLY

No they're hosting the bingo world championship next April

Iron Airsoft Lee Enfield No. 1 MkIII* Reason: Just look at it!! I got told off by a marshall on my last skirmish 'cos my gun was too pretty to skirmish with. I took Matilda (my one of these) to a re-enactment event, even re-enactors were in awe.

AK12, not for airsoft yet. no camo but... PURE BLACK WITH A WHITE "12" SPRAY PAINTED AT THE SIDES OF THE BODEH Unique looking weapon, kinda looks like the galil from a distance but really it's a more "block" like, freshly cut AK with hard edges. Sexy

Take a drink and some food - you will get hungry and thirsty. If in doubt, call yourself out - just because you didn't see where the shot came from doesn't mean someone else hasn't got you in their sights. If you're caught in a bottleneck grow some balls and charge in - worse that will happen is you'll get shot (repeatedly) but if that concerns you then don't play airsoft. One of my pet peeves in game is people not pushing forward (especially in CQB). Trash talking is never okay. If you do this you will be lit up the next time they see you. A bit of banter is fine but too much just ruins the fun. Don't spam the trigger, especially at close range. CQB sites usually are semi auto only as being lit up at close range isn't fun. It only takes one shot to kill someone - three round bursts are what most people do to be sure of a kill. Don't be afraid to talk to people or recommend tactics. Give people a chance to call themselves out when hit. Don't shout "call your hits!" - annoys most people and the marshals take a dim view on it at most sites. Chances are you'll get penalised if you shout it at other people. If you think someone is cheating then tell a marshal. Most other stuff would mostly be common sense I'd hope - e.g. mags out in safe zone, always wear eye pro in game areas, etcetera!

This is my ICS CXP 08 concept with some little tweaks.

WE ACR WE M4 WE xm177 Mags. I just awsomed up a level.

I have used my kit on a couple of occasions at skirmishes - it is handy just to deal with the quick and easy stuff in the field if it means keeping a player 'in play', and then get them sorted out in the safe zone afterwards. Since the deregulation of first aid training there has been an influx of people offering various first aid courses, so it shouldn't be too hard to find one if you need one. Just a quick disclaimer on kit - just remember, you should only be using stuff you have been trained to use (sorry - had to slip that in there... you know, just to make sure )

Meh, I was a bit underwhelmed by the playing area to be honest - it's just a big forest with loads of paths, which are full of people hiding in trees so moving around is a pain in the tits if your unfamiliar with the site. Camping is good, plenty of room spare on the site. Only one big airsoft shop - it's still Zero One at the end of the day. A few people had bits and bats laid out 2nd hand.
