Taiwangun.Pl Polish airsoft shop, no import to pay as it's Eu. Around £10 shipping if it's below £240. Good for cyma, Jg, a&k under their own brand p&j.
 
gunfire.Pl another Polish retailer. Not sure on shipping but no Import charges to pay either.

A lot of people prefer to shop in the UK though, whether through distrust of shipping/customs/foreign websites or if they actually just want to support the UK economy. I've seen plenty of CYMA M14s second hand priced higher than they are new from TWG, BUT they are the right price for a gun originally bought in the UK. Just because you are happy to buy all the extras from the UK doesn't mean the seller has.

Just bought:
CM.701b (Fully VSR compatible)
GTPA606D - LiPo / NiCad Charging unit
 
from Taiwangun.
 
See them next week!

Battery will do about 1hr.20 on that.
 
Might want to try an external battery, I would have done that myself but I have 4 gopro 4 batteries now, so no point.
 

Hey,

It's not what you thought ^^
 
Battery... the 64GB card can have atleast 4 hours, consult GoPro website or 3rd party reviews... I didn't charge my battery probably.

I have just bought a GoPro HERO4 Silver, I believe for value for money the Black is not worth it unless you need 30fps+ 4K video. (NOTE: it does not come with LCD, so you will need to use the GoPro App, or buy the BatteryPac with LCD).
 
I have only used it once during a Skirmish, quality good (1440p 30fps / don't ask why I picked that resolution!), and the case it comes with (diveproof up to 40m is pretty BB resistant, see reddit/r/airsoft).
 
If you plan on recording a lot, buy more batteries, SDXC cards (good ones at that!) and/or the batterypac - which ever works for you.
 
If mounting to an NVG plate, use some electrical tape to make sure the fitting is good, and so when you run it does not rattle.
 
Nurprol Fast Helemt; 3rd Party NVG Mount
GoPro HERO 4 SILVER 4x GoPro 4 Batteries (1160mAh 4.4Wh) 2x SanDisk Extreme 64GB MicroSDXC GoPro BatteryPac LCD (with 3 bigger backdoors) For money wise, you do get a lot of things with the Camera and the BatteryPac, also it comes with a nice little housing for the LCD BatteryPac to store 1x SD Card, and 1x Micro SDXC which is really nice.
 
I would recommend GoPro for helemts, and Contours (dont have any) for gun mounts, facing you and the enemy.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00W8UI124?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 -- Get it in XL.
 
This is comfy for a 60cm head, and the padding will adjust itself once setup decently!

You will buy that, then get bored because it will be everything you want.
 
Yes TM are good for the brand, however there are more then a few who have pointed out issues with their internals.
 
I am going to be the voice of reason here..
 
Since you are newer to airsoft, why not get a decent entry level (£120) or Amateur (£240) and then learn about the sport. Put that extra money aside for things like gear / holsters, a side arm / Uprgades.. Heck you can get all of that for less then that gun, and then you can start learning the internals and upgrading them. If it all goes badly you've not spent £££ on something that you may not want.

With the whole 'cheap gun redundant after buying expensive gun' argument, at that point OP could always use the cheap gun as a training gun for taking apart and servicing airsoft guns

Thanks for the advice guys. Tad great words of wisdom and you sound exactly like my mate who got me into this wonderful sport. I will take what you guys have said. Try a £200/£250 gun like a G&G or Kings Arms. Maybe even a WE or something kit myself out then later towards then end of the year when I've found out if its for me. Buy a monster of a gun.
 
Many thanks guys. Really appreciate the advice.

My team mate had a similar encounter at the Bristol courts
 
he said a guy was shooting at him & said take your fucking hits to which my mate replied that none was hitting him ??
 
Turns out, the kiddy played a 40 minute game with no mag on his rifle pmsl

Group of 5 guys defending the central hallway in epsom tunnels...
 
Group of 4 trying to breach from the left. Because of the angle, they couldn't get us but we could get them when they popped out.
 
The one guy, literally crawls round this corner with a pistol, and takes out the 4 guys that were stacked up discussing how to breach us. None of the enemy expected us to come round the corner, so when a pistol muzzle appeared around the corner, they were not expecting it.
 
The sound of shock and awe from them was enough to highlight the game..

My local site has a rep for players not taking hits, being wankers and basically not being sporting types....but theres one lad that raises the bar and continues to be an honourable and amazing player! His names Chris and he's a marksman type, rocks a fully modded tm vsr, has spent alot of time and money perfecting his kit and weaponry.
 
Last time I played, he was on my team, and during the third game (where my team was defending against the other two) he had perfect vantage to take out three players, but they were ever so slightly within his MED....so rather than hit them all anyway (as I'm sure a few others would), he drew his sidearm, snuck up on them...and simply put a single round into each of them. The three lads were so shocked that someone had managed to not only break out of the circling enemies they didn't raise their hands or cry hit. Just stood there dumbfounded. Chris snuck back into out base and grabbed his rifle again...the three guys obviously thought they could get away with it and continued their attack...so he repeated his earlier tactic and got them again.
 
This went on probably three times before he reported them to a Marshall. Later on in the day, the three lads (noobies to our site) managed to creep up on him and full auto him from about 5 metres...to say he was a tad pissed off was an understatement, but he took himself out of the game and walked back to regen. When he returned however, his rifle had been replaced with the m249 he usually has sat in the safe zone, and he proceeded to riddle the lil sods 😁

By "people" I didn't mean you. If you do a quick search of the forum you'll find many a sandy vagina about this subject!

Bought some new bits from Taiwangun (Good sales on at the moment!)
 
New Pistol --- (Want something that I can make truly silent for assasinations.
http://www.taiwangun.com/en/mk23-heavy-weight-gas-pistol-stti?from=listing&campaign-id=14
 
Plus a spare magazine for the above.
 
New Steel motor pinion gear [sHS] cause the one on my motor seems to be missing the holding screw, and they are impossible to find!

Despite what people above have said, I played there 2 weeks ago. When the lights were out, the entire middle section and tunnels are pitch black.
 
However, on the left and right main tunnels, there are red safety lamps at every section. Which give off more than enough light to see people and give away any advantages.
 
Either get a torch as above, or learn the layout well before they turn them out.
 
Usually they will leave the lights on for the first few games to allow you to gain your bearings.

Same style, however not the same sold rifle.
 
They are bad for upgrades and repairs, if you only require a specific part you need to pay for the set which is in most places, +£100. Which is more than the rifle is worth.

I wear a UBACS with a chest rig all the time, I don't ever use a plate carrier (too darn hot!). I have never had one of these mythic gear heads complain about my loadout even when its just a jacket or whatever, I am not convinced this mythical stereotype person exists in any real numbers.
 
You can play in just some shorts, a T shirt and a pair of flip flops and no one cares.
 
One thing to note about UBACs however is that the body covering material is quite thin compared to your usual camo clothing. The hits will hurt quite a bit more as a result. I did a UBACs in Bunker 51 one night and came out looking like a piñata after a beating all across my body.

I tend to use mine when dead and heading to the spawn or safe zone, DEAD MAN ON TORCH and flashing it upward at junctions lets people know theres no threat coming through and saves me getting blasted close up.
 
But I know the layout quite well and am confident of finding my way.
 
If your new to the site make sure you have one, but you may not need to use it so much during the fight as it DOES give away your locations. Loads of times I have seen a torchlight before hearing people whilst I was sneaking around. Allows me to lay an ambush or to move position.
 
 
And the 50/50 tracer mix is great, I use it a lot down there, as it does help to see where your shots are going, although I turn the tracer off when in sneaky mode
 
I LOVE the look of spent tracers which have shattered all over the floor...

I had to pay £20 import tax on a steel tube that i ordered from Airsoft Atlanta....
 
It weighed less then 200g...
 
From now on, all my orders are coming from the East...

there have been a group of guys wearing gimp suits with leather masks at billricay before

Step one: take that website
Step two: never go there again
Step three: never go to any site with BB in the name
 
Advice one: you gotta spend at least £50 to get any sort of skirmish-able gun
Advice two: if you don't want to spend that much (in terms of airsoft a £50 springer shotty is cheap) then rent from the game site
