I have a bottle of pure ethanol that I bought off ebay years ago that i use for those tasks. works well to dissolve sticky residue.

They are absolutely fine safety wise - I've been wearing them for years, and they are pretty much a staple for many of the players at the sites I visit. Shot multiple times on them, never a problem. Once they get a bit too dented, for good measure I replace for a new pair - usually after 10 or...

The airtac adapters work well, and if you are dead set on running it HPA, i would recommend their shotshell adapter. But really, if it is only to be run as a secondary, I'm really not sure what the benefits of HPA'ing it would be. The AAP runs better than most as a year round secondary on green...

Cracking day on Saturday at Battle Lakes, really good fun. Quite a big crowd in, and the rolling storylined game play of the DEA Vs Cartel theme worked excellently. Marshall's/team leaders had a few side quests up their sleeves to send teams off on in order to keep the play fluid and...

Excellent - see you there! I'll be in tiger stripe most likely.

Anyone heading to battle lakes this weekend (5th/6th September)? I'm just working out which day to head over....

As Asomodai says - Driver Wood

Our local site has a no nods rule for night games too - I believe the thinking is that allowing NODs makes it a pay to win type scenario, and no fun for the paying customers who don't have the cash to splash on a good set of NV or thermal. They haven’t always had the rule, but it was instigated...

I used your old reviews quite extensively a few years back when I was starting out - very helpful (and appreciated!)

Might be worth trying Battle Lakes for this. They offer free camping - not sure whether that’s the night before as well, but i suspect they can be flexible. Last time I went, there was a guy who had travelled from Derby, and I'm sure he didn't travel down before morning Chrono! Edited to say...

100% that was my experience too, but with one 'player marshal', who on the last occasion I went was the one person that the opposite team consistently complained of not taking their hits.... As I said though, I've maybe been there for 5 or 6 evenings over the years, with maybe a 60:40 split of...

I completely agree - its such a nuisance to get the 'time off' to play airsoft - whether that is from work or the family, that it becomes very important to actually be playing airsoft rather than lounging in the safe zone. Sites that seem to make a strong effort to get players ready on time...

Great morning yesterday at Driver Wood, and has the pleasure of meeting @Impulse - I heard a tall bloke talking about his Tanaka in the Chrono queue and put two and two together... I finally managed to field the Stoner 96 LMG- over 8 months since buying it from new- it previously having endless...

Coincidentally, I spotted an original for sale this afternoon in a flea store in Talinn, Estonia.

Good luck! Treat it as a laugh, and don't be afraid to get hit lots - just get stuck in, and you will have a lot of fun.
