Good point I didn't think about that. He saw me playing on Sunday so hopefully thats piece of mind on his behalf.....

Bang! Taken the plunge. Gone for the CXP16. Managed to get it for £160 with 6000 bbs too. So thats got to be at least a tenners worth lol. Picking up tonight. Am I not a tentative newbie now if I have a gun lol

Ok thank you. Just seeing what was out there. Might just go down the new route as mentioned before and get the Combat machine

Guys. I've just been offered a ICS CXP 16 short. With 2 mags, Charger, battery, sling and a load of BBs for £200? Pretty much looks brand new. Would it be worth it? Or an APS AUG Steyr which I prefer the look of. With 3 batteries, charger and 6 mags for £155....

Hi all just to say thanks for all your advice. i played my first game Sunday just gone and really enjoyed it. Everybody there was spot on and all went smoothly. I now near enough have all my kit except a rifle. I'm trying to keep prices down as much as I can and thinking about getting a G&G...

Cheers guys. Just ordered up some MTP trousers, UBACS top, gloves,  boonie hat and a relatively cheap Tactical vest. Stopping short of adding all the Union jack patches etc. Nearly went down the C95 route but it aint much cheaper than the newer MTP stuff. Still looking in to eye wear etc. What I...

Ok cool.  Just looking at some videos of other peoples set ups and some on them you'd need a trolley to caryy it around in lol I think I have enough info to at least get some basic kit together and then it will be on to what Rifle etc in the not too distant future ?

Haha. I wasn't going down the helmet route. Just thought I'd use a Maroon Beret instead ?  Cool i'll look into the full face mask instead then ? WHilst chatting about iron sights. Do most use some kind of magnified sight or anybody rocking just old school iron sights?

Cheers Musica for the crazy in depth reply. Pretty much answered everything  I think.  I'll have a look at some eye protection. The Dyi5 looks pretty cool though. Like something out of Halo lol I didn't even consider my teeth, it'll probably make them more straight if I did get shot ? I might...

Thanks guys for your replies. I have booked on to have a go on the 5th of May. I'll be hiring a rifle but thought I could get some kit together in the mean time until I've done enough visits to get a RIF. Will BA MTP trousers and a UBACS shirt, with Black Lowa's be a bit.....frowned upon?? IE...

Cool. Many thanks guys much appreciated. I knew there would be the odd few but it sounds like sites are not inundated with them ? Pretend war.....I like that haha

Haha. I was thinking the same about camo lol. But I suppose rocking up in jeans and t shirt might not be appropriate. Still got my old Lowa's knocking about and I dont think i'll fit into anything else now ? So might get some old C95 kit as its cheap as chips.....jobs a gooden. Might not sew on...

Thanks for that pal. Good to hear. I suppose being new and not knowing you tend to build up a pciture of what you think it'll be like compared to what it actually is. Hence I suppose asking the initial question. Much appreciated

Haha. brilliant. Trust me i'll be keeping my mouth closed about what I done, not because i've done anything bad may I add but like you said, people will expect more from you. I've always been crap at paintball and I am guessing it will be similar?  Really appreciate you taking the time to post...

Thanks for the honest reply. I thought that might be the case. I know people probably wouldn't take the BS but I find it a little difficult when someone tells me they went over the top at the Battle of the Somme ?
