There's no way MTP is ever better than DPM, literally dozens of unqualified airsofters who spend their entire lives at one site and irrationally hate anything popular because it's cool to be different have told me so. If you want uniforms just get surplus issue stuff, commercial offerings (BTP, MTC etc etc) barely get within sniffing distance in terms of the quality for the price point. Windproof and waterproof are 2 entirely different proposals, most issue uniform is fairly windproof the smock in particular but it's still extremely breathable. Anything that's actually close to waterproof cooks you alive soon as you do much exertion and do NOT fall for the bullshit descriptions at airsoft retailers that describe any softshell jacket as waterproof; utter shite. Wear a t-shirt and a standard PCS smock, put a fleece or whatever under it if you're not moving much in the cold and have a goretex jacket somewhere to hand if you expect it to really hammer down - that'll cover 95% of UK weather.

Steady on, we all enjoy different things, and (almost) everybody is LARPing to some extent. Even jeans and hoodie can be an anti-snobbery costume.

Why, are you playing for your enjoyment or for the approval of others? As posted above, concentrating on practical kit rather posing bullshit will give you a better experience in game

You sure it’s his flashmag you can hear ???? Nudge nudge wink wink , ya know what ah mean ?…🤤

Seriously how long have I been extracting the urine from all and sundry on here and you STILL think I ment it in a nasty way ? Mr Borg I despair 😉

Gold and black would be ‘two tone’ in the sense that they are two colours. Legally though there is no such thing as a requirement for ‘two tone’ the law requires the IF to be clear or over 50% one of the designated bright colours: Sizes and colours which are to be regarded as unrealistic for a real firearm 6.—(1) For the purposes of section 38(3)(b) of the 2006 Act and paragraph 6(3)(b) of Schedule 2 to that Act, the size of an imitation firearm is to be regarded as unrealistic for a real firearm only if the imitation firearm has dimensions that are less than the dimensions specified in paragraph (2). (2) The dimensions specified in this paragraph are a height of 38 millimetres and a length of 70 millimetres. 7.—(1) For the purposes of section 38(3)(b) of the 2006 Act and paragraph 6(3)(b) of Schedule 2 to that Act, a colour is to be regarded as unrealistic for a real firearm only if it is a colour specified in paragraph (2) or if the imitation firearm is made of transparent material. (2) The colours specified in this paragraph are— (a)bright red; (b)bright orange; (c)bright yellow; (d)bright green; (e)bright pink; (f)bright purple; and (g)bright blue.

If we all did our research before writing anything, this would be a pretty empty place. I've learned something from this thread.

A G3k I've recently been working on

I'm not concentrating on it I just want my kit to look good same way you'd want a car that looks nice, a rifle that looks nice, a piece of furniture. I'm there to have fun not act out a theoretical WW3 where my gear has to be realistic whilst being as efficient as possible. As I said I am looking for practicality alongside also looking good which I believe is entirely possible if I pick my gear correctly. Most people I encountered in airsoft all had very neat good solid looking kit that was also practical and that's what I want. I get that you might feel different and you might want practical kit over looks but I don't feel the same way.

Ditch the helmet, unless there tons of vents otherwise the humidity your sweed lets out will just track back into your goggles! I know as today I tested no less than 3 top of the range goggles and they all fogged! I wore a fast helmet (zero vents) chin to ear mesh and then whatever gigs. I won’t use ballistic glasses as none seem to cover your eye entirely and all it takes is one random bb…. Disappointed, I reached into my bag and found a gym hat with mesh all over it, as soon as I stuck this on not only did I find actually bbs hardy hard but fogging dramatically decreased!

Hi and welcome to the airsoft asylum 🤪 I'm sure you will all have a blast at the courts in Bristol. Have you all got the essentials? Good quality eyepro and boots with ankle support and gloves( for the cold and protection from bb hits)cause it hurts like a mofo when pinkies get hit lol. Is it a cqb site? Cause full face pro is recommended. Any way enjoy yourselves and listen up in the briefing and above all call your hits!👍 You have plenty of time to check out @GAMBLEon this forum. He has a tube channel which you could benefit from taking a look at. Hints and tips and gear advice in abundance Regards

Figured I'd share a few shots of my latest pickup, really happy with how it looks/feels. Now all I need is to get the folding stock and hook, then I'm sorted!

Hey all, my name is Michael and I am new Airsoft player in the Bristol area. To be completely honest, I haven’t even played a game yet but have been wanting to start for years. I always wanted to play with people I know and I have now finally found some friends who want to start also. We have our first game booked for Sunday 19th December at the Courts Bristol (it’s the only time we have available due to work). We are renting the gear the first time we play to make sure it’s for us but then we are purchasing our own gear. I have plans to invest in a Bulldog M4PI RIS two tone from JustBBguns, when I have my UKARA I will buy the conversion kit to a RIF. If there is any players who attend the Courts Bristol hopefully we cross paths and play together at some point. Michael Notorious Loki

Couple of better pictures of the L119 A2 GBBR build for my mate as a tribute to his son. still a couple of details to sort such as the fire selector when i can find a proper one ! and a final pic with my L119 A1 GBBR

once that pin is completle out the front should just pull forward. It might be a bit stuck by the paint , worth warming the join a bit if you've got a hot air gun.

The C25 is available without the PDW stock. https://mpa-airsoft.com/product/specna-arms-sa-c12-black/

My sons main Christmas present sorted 😁

Does gold and black count as two tone

I've been running one of those helikon mesh caps, bolle x800s with a mesh mask cable tied to the goggles. Sadly I've been running a buff to cover my neck which i also stretch to cover ears so this will not help with cooling so I'm going to ditch it next game or just have it around my neck. Some days they fog up when Im static after a big fast paced game but I have just ordered some revision wipes so I'm hoping that they reduce this issue. If this set up continues to fod il look into fan goggles but heroshark are a no go as I don't fancy shattered bb's in my only pair of eyes.

Flash mags are also very loud to wind. I hear 'zip-zip-zip' and I know my mate is hiding in a bush about 10 metres away 😄

DPM works best in evergreen forest, as that's what it was designed for (when the thinking was that the West would be fighting the Reds in Germany in between lobbing nukes at each others cities). MTP resulted from most of our wars being in Middle Eastern parts and reflects that. MTP is a better all rounder for the reasons you describe but that's not to say DPM isnt good.

Just stick some brown ferns in your kit. 95 still works well in winter if you add browns. MTP is too light in woodland much of the year, its only in opened up areas where grey is introduced that it has any ability at all

Agreed, I don't see much reason to pay C25 prices. They're both polymer, I'm unclear if the C25 is significantly better. The only actual feature difference is the X-ASR mosfet, but that does nothing except trigger contact protection, and mine balks at aftermarket motors. Both are fine for length, anything more than that is just willy-waggling for airsoft use. And don't worry about the quoted FPS figures, those will be using Specna's stock M90 spring. Fine for CQB, just about enough for woodland. Drop in an M100 through the quick-change system and you're good to go. The G&G, hmm. It's a lot more than I'd want to pay for one, given how feature-poor it is. The sight may be functional, or a gimmick. That said, G&Gs do tend to shoot very nicely, and that's what actually matters, not the feature list. You probably won't regret it.

I do like the idea of flash mags only down side I find is if your behind cover and priming your mag from a distance it does look if your ‘lobbing off’ an invisible friend ! 😳

E&l 104 I believe. Finally found a scope setup I like for it and overall got it comfortable for me. Ive been wanting to fully modernise one of my aks for a while and I'm happy with the result. Also the cmore makes for a good poor mans kobra >->

Do not buy asg or Kwa mags as they are based on KSC system 7 mags which have different feed lips and knocker valves. HFC and Well mags are based on the KSC version 1 mags

Then why not the sa-c08? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-sa-c08-core-tm-carbine-aeg?pv=17821 It has everything you'll need from a first gun.

So after trying to replicate this I found out that it was simply not working with laminate wood. I think it's time for a change of plans. I'm going to go for this look, meaning I'll try to bring out the beauty in the lamination pattern instead of trying to make it look like a single piece. Here in Sweden we say "Gör om, Gör Rätt" which means "Do it again but Do it right". It could still be a replica of an old gun, as the stock could have been changed at some point.

Indeed... but as long as its still practical to run in, unless you're the juggernaut...

Unless they are Gucci jeans and hoodie ! 🤣

I know a chap who started playing with strobe and then sacked it off as its not much use in a practical sense. A weapon light with a momentary switch is what he uses now. I have always used a light with a momentary switch which can be used to push positions and corners but goes dark instantly.

WoW ! This REALLY does set a whole new level of “nope didn’t read any of the forum user advise or instructions when it comes to posting or sales !” 🤦‍♂️

Couldn't agree with this post more... IMO loadouts are very much a personal thing and are an expression of individuality as much as practicality, but the practicality has to come first.

Thank you for advice, I have been taking a little look. Will do a more in-depth look after work today. I have subscribed to your YouTube, my YouTube is about my allotment so might seem weird someone like me subscribing. My fiancé using so many emojis. So I have a slight understanding but will probably get confused at some point.

I enjoy deciphering your spammed emojis and YouTube videos

Hi @TheNotoriousLoki 👋 Welcome to the forum, full of advice and like minded players! 🔫🤪👍 Good luck getting started, almost similar story! 🤞👍 Thanks @Shamal for the mention! 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷

damn the cold weather killed my batteries today, so many lock ups on semi. pretty good day all the same

Much research has revealed that my RPB M11-A1 is in fact of KSC manufacture which has the patent to stamp the full RPB label and Cobray motif. It is similar to the HFC, KWA, ASG and so on. I sourced the HFC M11 magazine that should be compatible which has been ordered and eagerly awaited. Thanks guys for all for your help in this matter.

you might not want your first and only post on an internet forum full of strangers to have your irl name and address prominently featured in a picture. edit: and your phone number in the following picture.....

My newest purchase. MK18, also got a glock, but everyone has seen one of them

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Disguise-Sniper-Coat-Viper-Hood-Chimera-cape-shortened-Multicam-XS-XL-/154098312466?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Should do the trick for the ghillie hood. The reason I was pushing to see the pic is that we can probably find links quicker because most of us have seen this all before! Don't feel bad about asking for help!

Pencott wildwood works great in the UK and easy to get from ebay or military1st.

Re the Negative Airsoft video... someone helpfully put the times in for each segment in the top pinned comment, so you can jump straight to each manufacturer

You're dangerously close to breaking Life Rule No1 - don't be a dick. It's not on the person with photo sensitive epilepsy to "do their research" and avoid YOU, it's on YOU to do YOUR research and not use it when you're told not to. Likelihood is that they will check during the safety briefing and ban their use on the day if anyone says they have an issue with strobe lighting. Well, that's a budget then, isn't it? Night Evolution, Element, Aim-O copies of the M300 or M600 weapon light would be your best bet. Some versions come with a head that allows you to select strobe or constant and have built in mounts for picatinny rails.

Don't think metal body=better. The better plastic guns can still handle rough treatment of a game and cheap pot metal easily breaks. Also the weight difference can really make a difference towards the end of the day

Come on then, give us a clue.

As you correctly surmise there are two problems most of us face. One is actual fogging caused by temperature differences between your face and the ambient air, the other is caused by sweat (although the two do go somewhat hand in hand) In terms of what you have there the issue is that while the design of the goggles is such that it has an enormous vent all the way around, you have blocked that airflow with the helmet at the top and the mask at the bottom. It's not just you, it's the way of the world! You may find a better helmet has better airflow - depending on the liner design and whether or not the shell has vents. Personally I am a fan of the FMA Team Wendy LTP Bump style.

Why that exists I don't know. Some things science can't explain.

Didn't order a RIF but bought parts and other related stuff for £180ish from Gunfire 30/1021 and used GLS instead of UPS. Yesterday Parcel Force let me know i owe £40 and will be delivered on 15/11/21. Apart from the charges it looks like delivery back to normal fingers crossed. I got a project on the go and might buy a cheap sniper and see how it goes with Border Farce. Shame about TG as i want the Fostec shotty which is released soon.
