stevil

so impressed by your work, you just seem to get better and better with each piece mate

i have gerber and leatherman tools, and gotta say the leatherman wins everytime. i have a wave that i have had for years and is still going strong, and its used everyday

i have been a lurker on here for a while now, but due to work commitments and health i havent ventured past my garden with my guns yet. i am looking forward to my first skirmish, but as i also suffer from social anxiety i am nervous too as a general rule of thumb, how welcoming are others to newbies, i know you guys on the forum have been great, and have read many posts helping new players and answering silly questions. but face to face is different to sitting behind a keyboard. my first game will be more then likely at skirmish billericay or airsoft plantation, as i live near lakeside, essex. i am really sorry for such a rambling post, but i need to get out and shoot, and meet people as part of me helping myself to move forward thanks in advance for any comments

as above mate dont waste your money on anything from a bbgun type shop. the black viper g36 is pretty crap. i was given one and its just about fit for the kids to plink in the garden with, i certainly wouldnt try skirmishing with it. i wouldnt even give you 20 quid for it....

can confirm the blackviper mags dont fit any other G36's, my kids have a black viper and a umarex G36 and the mags dont fit, and they dont fit my mates JG either

need to get to some games, the past year has been terrible for me work wise and healthwise

got an 11 plate zafira elite diesel. plenty of room for my mutant kids and my bike fits in the back easily. nothing special but it does the job and isnt breaking the bank to run, unlike the discovery 2 we used to have

i dont post often, more of a lurker but this c0ckwomble deserves to be banned, if it was a legitimate re enactor then fair enough, but to do this kind of crap for reactions sake is stupid. as said before there are enough glares at the sport looking for any reason to slate it without having to deal with idiots like this

first off kudos to you guys for speaking openly about these things, its such a shame mental health treatment still has so far to go personally my parents split when i was 5, stepdad physically and emotionally abused me until i left home, and my mum just screwed about with my head too, experienced a lot of loss and violence when i was a teen, seen things a kid should never see and lost my grandparents while i was living with them, as a result i have been diagnosed with anxiety, ptsd and pdpd and currently in psychotherapy for 2 years its ok to say others have it worse, and it prbably is true but the problem with depression and the like, its all subjective to the person, i agree you need to speak to a counsellor and not someone you know, this will help a great deal, another idea is to write things down in a journal, or letter, if you dont want the risk of people reading them then rip the page up it helps to see things in black and white, and helps to process the feelings i really hope you can find some help amongst the advice here, and really hope you can find a counsellor to help you mate all the best

was up at 0500, working but just got back. now i have a week off and my plan is to pop my airsoft cherry next sunday at skirmish billericay

i have had 2 guns from airsoft world, and they are both 2 toned. i agree the paint is put on quite thinly but i think thats half the point. i am more then happy with my paint 'wearing off' quite quickly overall i am very happy with the service from them

gotta agree, the ess v12 goggles are extremely comfy even with a prescription lens insert in

had a result this week, managed to bag a set of ess ice glasses for a tenner, ess rx insert for a fiver and a set of ess v12 advancers for 15 quid. gives me plenty of spare cash to get the lenses knocked up

would love contacts but my left eye cant be corrected with them i think it is going to have to be the V12s then, i do sweat a bit at the moment cos i am a little on the large side lol but am working on getting that off thanks a lot for your input

thanks a lot for that mate, i was worried and was scouring google like a nutter lol what ones would you recommend Lozart?

everywhere i have seen, its the same insert, i know there are 2 different types of insert, but i think ones old and theres a newer type available

i need to get my eyepro sorted, had a look at bolle x1000 rx's as i am a speccy tw@t but i think i prefer the look of ess ice glasses or v12 advancer goggles i know the rx insert is available for both, but what ones do you knowlegable guys think would be better? i appreciate any info and feedback thanks

its currently wired to deans connectors, as are all of my batteries, i will convert the leads for the charger on the cyma to deans too, thanks for your help

just received my cyma cm030, the charger is a nasty thing and was wondering if it would be ok to make an adaptor to work with my vapex smart charger?

ok, thanks for that, i might take them off dont think i will need to carry that much gear lol

i have picked up a viper south african assault vest in dpm, very happy with it and it has a couple of extra mag pouches on it, but what the hell are the extra 8 straps on the top main pouch on the back?

if i can get the rest of my gear together in time i will be up for this (also work permitting)

i hear you mate, but as i am just starting out i dont really want to throw loads into it, i am still testing the waters so to speak also have a hard time justifying the expense to the missus at the moment, but if i do go regular and love the hobby this will get easier (i hope lol)

they are nice goggles but quite expensive (i know you shouldnt put a price on eyesight) the bolle pilots are bright, but are only around a tenner, think i might get those and see how i get on with them before splashing out more, just hope they dont fog up too badly

i have tried and now cant find my wallet lol
