They do work well, and you can carry a lot of spare mags in a small space. A foam filled silencer is essential to make the most out of the platform - a key selling point is how quiet it is possible to make it.

I have one, and use it a fair bit. Accuracy out of the box was average to good, but not excellent. Consistency using the gas mags was horrible in anything under 12/13 degrees Celsius though. I made it very accurate by changing the bucking to an autobot, adding a tridos hop arm and wheel; and...

I'll probably take a tarp and a few poles with me next time if its looking like poor weather I reckon.

As mentioned in another thread, a superb Sunday was had at Battle Lakes, Kent. My first time there- I usually frequent Driver Wood, with its 100-150 players at every game. After the games at DW had recently been getting shorter and shorter, and the high numbers often making play a little...

I'll put a full review of the day on the usual thread, but - it was fantastic. Genuinely brilliant day, no hit taking issues at all from what I could see, great banter, and well thought out games. And the site is really interesting too. I'll definitely be back.

Pistols for the CQB win in my view. Let's face it - using a pistol is great fun, but challenging to be effective with in a woodland environment. In CQB, where they enable you to get much tighter angles around walls, into rooms etc + facilitates aimed shots whilst exposing less of your body, a...

Thanks both. I'll give it a go, and feed back in the usual thread.... Hoping that a decent number turn up!

Unfortunately apocalypse is a bit too far for me this Sunday, but when i have more time, I’ll give it a go. How do you rate battle lakes (and for that matter, apocalypse)?

For clarity, is it generally advised to leave the top regulator on permanently then? I always tend to remove mine after each game day - not sure why really, perhaps just to remove the tension in any springs. But this isn't necessary (unless it is leaking like in the OPs case)?

I'll be keeping an eye out for your feedback too!

Having missed out on the last forum meet up a year or so back at Battle Lakes, and fancying a change from Driver Wood, I'll be popping along this Sunday to try it out. Website seems down at the moment, but they are very quick to respond via facebook (and if the website isn't fixed in time to...

I can hugely recommend the 5.11 Rush day sacks. I've used a Rush 24 daily (and some weekends too) - the very same pack since January 2017, and its been superb. the zips on the little pockets are finally starting to go, but that’s about it.

Well I bought one last month for 216 quid ;)

Well, the order turned up - perfectly packaged, and under 4 business days from placing the order. If I recall, the postage costs were not overly high either - impressive!

There is probably a very big difference to the clientele who attend an average skirmish day. I tend to go alone, so whilst i enjoy exchanging a few pleasantries with those set up around me, i am very much there to play. Whereas I might suppose those who attend with 5 or 6 mates are happier for...
