  1. I have a cheapo holster on order at the moment from amazon. It had decent enough reviews but we shall see.
  2. Any suggestions for something thats looks similar but doesnt have a 70-100 price tag on it?
  3. So i started piecing this together today. Not everything is going to accurate as thats just not possible or within my measly wage lol. Bulle Woodland bdu top and bottom ordered from flecktarn. (its pre 'raid' modded with exterior velcro for the patch whore in me. Not 100% accurate though) Blackhawk load bearing suspenders, usgi triple mag pouches with grenade pouches, usgi water bottle and pouch all ordered from flea bay. Alice belt with fastex fastening, alice butt pack ordered from Soldier or fortune. Also ordered a boonie hat to protect my perfect brown locks. Alright to keep the sun off the receding bits! Still need to find a mk23 compatible drop leg holster.
  4. Pretty sure the ICS ape is cursed. Sticky trigger-fixed. 100fps drop-Fixed. Running around all morning using it -Fine. Last game before lunch, look at the stock. Rubber butt plate missing-Fail.

      Tell me about it brother, etu died in the m4 after a mag and a half, the f2000 fed- at 170fps, and the ak i'd bought that day wouldnt feed on full auto.

       

      M203 worked perfectly though :)

      Funny you should mention the ICS Ape - I've got one in bits for a team mate where the gearbox decided to eat the piston!

  5. Had a 100fps drop on my ICS ape. Hop rubber refitted, nozzle checked etc. All seems ok. Fingers crossed it's back to normal at chrono tomorrow.

      Do they paint the inside or the barrel or could that be corrosion?

    3. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      No inner barrel is black. So can only imagine it’s some sort of residue build up from bb’s brim previous owner

    4. Seany.exe

      Seany.exe

      It's more than likely just tiny bits of BB themselves if it's white

  6. I was thinking of buying the standard alice butt pack off of soldier of fortune and the just modding the clips as thats one of the harder to find bits. I was going to get the standard blackhawk h harness as the spec ops one is liking rocking horse poop
  7. So over the past few months i have been trying to come up with an idea for a loadout that isn't just multicam/mtp. After a lot of thought i got it down to somewhere between a ww2 british airborn soldier, something vietnamish or the current thought of the fairly nice looking get up worn by the cast in 'Tears of the sun'. I have done a heck of a lot of googling but most threads concern kit available a good 10 years ago and some of it seems incredibly difficult to obtain or ridiculously expensive to import. So i thought i would turn to you my find band of happy bb slinging folks for assistance in coming up with something similar but also readily available and then maybe chart the progress along the way. My initial aim is to do 'Waters' kit aka Bruce Willis. A quick google provides the following kit list courtesy of the Mundo Airsoft blog Clothing: -BDU M81 Woodland Raid (Both bottom moved to arms) (should be fairly easy to find) –Flyer nomex gloves black. (regular ones, no Blackhawk logo on them) (easy enough to find) -Black shirt. (Any base layer in black should suffice) –Danner Acadia 8″ Boots (Thinking any decent high ankle military boots as these boys are insanely expensive) 1st Line: -Blackhawk Riggers Rescue Belt Black (£45 so an alternative wouldn't be a bad call) –BlackHawk BTS double pistol mag pouch (easily found) -Blackhawk BTS Double pistol mag with talonflex black (Left on both pictures) (easily found) –Large lefty Omega holster black oldgen (2 leg straps, ins’t the MK23 one.) (I will probably swap this out for a right handed airsoft grade holster) 2nd Line: –Alice pistol bet with fastex black (fairly easy find or alternative find) –Blackhaw H Harness Spec OPs OD (Incredibly difficult to find and expensive Thinking a normal H harness from blackhawk as easier to get) –Blackhawk non locking carabiner (Left shoulder) (Easy find in both BH or cheaper version) –2x Usgi Alice triple mag pouch (With 4x M67 Hand grenade) (easy find ebay etc) –Blachawk Enhaced Buttpack OD (This seems a little harder to find in OD any alternative suggestions) –Blackhawk Alice Tac Vest Radio Pouch OD (Alice and BTS attached to buttpack side) (EASYish find in alternative brands) –USGI Alice canteen pouch (Easy find) Various: (Maybe when everything else is done) –Motorola Astro Saber radio. –Tea Lash 1 throat mic (Some scenes) –Tea Lash 1 with Lash 2 ptt (the one we see almost all movie, old gen Lash2 with Lash 1 ear pice) –Casio G Shock DW-004VE-1V (Right wrist) –Emerson Kandahar knife (Left leg) Blasters: Will probably build off either a tm or kwa base rif –M4A1 –Car15 stock –Stock pad –KAC RAS covers (Lateral and bottom rails) –KAC vertical grip (Easy find) –D Bal w/ remote swith on grip (Either a peq box style or functional one) –Aimpoint w/ Z mount (should be fairly easy to find in airsoft) -Sling swivel –GG&G A2 MBUIS rear sight (Not 100% sure on an airsoft version of these) -Handmade black sling, seat belt syle. (Will be replaced with some sort of black sling) –TM MK23 w/ KAC silencer Things i will likely not even try to get as they are either impossible or not really needed for airsoft or illegal for airsoft lol) -SOG X-42 Recondo. Kydex sheat w/ leg strap –Emerson Police Utility Knife, kydex sheat. Satin finish no serrations. (Right shoulder) -PVS 14 –ITT PVS 14 QD Mount Weapons and comms aside. Some of the bits seems difficult to find. Especially things like the Blackhawk H harness special ops in OD. So i was thinking of using the standard blackhawk h harness as the only major differences i can see are the cross strap supports. Some of the other odds and ends are also impossible to find it seems, but possibly replaced with standard alice pouches or mentioned ideas. So i was wondering if anyone could suggest good alternatives to some of the difficult to find/super expensive items.
  8. Ever just find yourself wanting a whole new airsoft look and not having a clue what though

      Nope. If anything I have more ideas for loadout styles than anything else, just not the budget to realise them physically. What started out as an "urban biker" style for me has now progressed to where I look like akin to a Division agent, which I don't mind per se.

       

      I also have an Alien character COSplay all worked out, just need to get around to buying the final few bits. I like to have a lot of interchangable gear, flannel shirts and combats in all rainbow flavours plus I collect hats and caps like a hooker collects STD's at a truck stop.

       

      I think at some point I will get a clone JPC and belt but in another colour thanblack, just to give me variety of choice. Not a fan of olive or tan, maybe some kinda of desert flecktarn or summert...  maybe same as my hat in HDT which I really like.... forgive me I know nothign of camo.

      ghostwalker

      I would love a Stargate SG1 loadout. But getting the correct bits is so incredibly difficult or just insanely expensive.

  9. Well it looks like i willbe selling my soul to the multiglam UKSF look over the next few months/year. Poor bank balance will be poor

      I have grown to really like the Gorka suits, mainly because of DayZ I think. THey look to bne for cold/wet weather though, would I cook in a set of that?

      With adders and ticks prevelant in woodland. Even in the grass skirt, there will be tan combats underneath lol.

  11. Gonna be ahot day for airsoft tomorrow. Time for a therapy day at Combat Action Games,  to deal with a year old demon.

      Make sure you stay hydrated and slap some lotion on your bald spots!

      Hydration bladder on the back of my plate carrier and about the only bit of skin on show is my lower face that likes getting shot at apparently.

  12. 42 today. Ugh. Nevermind. Get to be a big kid, dress up and play war on sunday. Bring it on!

      Lol, you youngsters have a while to go to catch me up 😃

       

      Felt my age for a couple days after last Sunday's skirmish, now wishing I had booked another for Sunday, didn't think I could cope with 2 in a row, so made other plans.

      @ghostwalker @sonofsammo you crazy kids! I'll be 48 end of the month, played with a guy at Ironsight last weekend that was 64!

       

      Happy birthday by the way @ghostwalker!

      Thanks guys. I would play everyday if there was a site running everyday oh and i could actually afford to lol.

  13. My current pair of pellet chuckers. My ics cxp mars sbr fet. noting extra other than a small sight and sling. Keeping it very minimalistic as its nice, light and comfortable as it is. My ics cxp ape. Not 100% sure on this. the sight works well enough but not sure it fits the asthetic of the gun. Also feel it needs a little something to give it something to make it pop a bit more. Its a lovely gun but the metal handguard is a pain as it has a bit of wobble in it.
  14. Templar assault systems commanders admin pouch. Apparently its for my phone etc. In reality its for patch real estate on my warrior vest. MFH hydration pack because its getting warm and heat stroke/dehydration suck. 6000 .28 The draft club bb's. More pew for the few unfortunates who cross my line of fire.
  15. Every other sunday sucks. No airsoft and a day spent wanting to shoot people. Not good lol

      If your interested in shooting real guns and live near a place why not give clay pigeon shooting a go. I went to one a few weeks ago it was a load of fun shotguns when shouldered feel so nice to shoot. Its not too bad for the money either but its only like a hour long activity or less.

    4. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      Theres an air rifle shooting club nearby. Thought about trying it but then i remembered. They shoot weekday evenings when i am at work 'le sigh'. Nevermind  Just means i need to shoot more fools on sunday at airsoft...or get shot by...

  16. Think someone is trying to hint about full face pro. 3 years never a bad head hit. Last 2 weeks, split chin and a hit just below/beside my left eye that left a massive lump and cut.

      I just can't make up my mind what to do. Normally wear ballistic glasses but with anything other than a cap they steam up badly.

      I’ve tried sawflies and they fog as soon as I put them on, currently wearing locust fan goggles but nothing is perfect and everyone will have differing experiences 

    4. proffrink

      proffrink

      I too use Revision Locust goggles and they're the best I've had (but not perfect). Applying antifog at the start of the day and half way through helps. Lots on the forums already about this if you want to have a search.

  17. Just ordered some The Draft Club .28bb's for the 1st time. Hoping they are as good as folks say

    1. Duff

      Duff

      What's the price per on those mate? I use .28 in my trishot and currently on Blaster Devils which are great but always open to other brands. 

    2. ghostwalker

      £10.99 plus postage. But they have a reward points system in place that makes it a little sweeter

      TDC actually make really good Beebs.

      Used to use them exclusively before I moved onto mostly tracer rounds.

       

      .3s were fantastic

  18. Took the ICS Cxp Mars sbr out for its first game yesterday. OOoooh tis a nice bit o kit,

  19. In the last 7 days this lot. ICS Cxp Mars sbr with fet. ICS Ble Xae pistol. Warrior Assault Systems vest, quad mag pouch, dump pouch and medium utility pouch. Double rifle bag. 3300 nuprol rzr bb's. 2 vp 7.4 1300mag lipos (god help me my first ever lipos as the mars rifle doesn't like LiFE batteries). Gas for the above pistol. Holo sight (mounted on mars) Combat Action Games site patch. Not shown as i can't make use of them 6x Warrior Assault systems single bungee mag pouches, pts magpul moe vertical grip. I think the Bank manager and mrs will be destroying my bank card after that. Apparently i shouldn't be allowed a week off work after selling my cyclocross bike.
  20. Picked up a used warrior assault systems vest (much like the 5.11 lbe vest). Along with 6 brand new warrior open top m4 mag pouches.Also picked up a holosight and pts magpul foregrip. Sadly the foregrip is for a different mounting system to my keymod rail. nevermind. Not a bad bundle for £70 really
  21. @Skara I thought atacs fg was lighter greens in colour than that from looking at pics on the interwebs. Certainly looks a lot more Arid wildlands than i thought. I had been thinking about getting some Atacs fg to replace my current tan stuff for woodland games. But not so sure on it now. Me currently. Yeah i know. In the words of Arnie 'you (me) are one ugly mutherf*!$er'
  22. I dont have a gameday until next week but like any good airsofter i have had a play around. it's the triple s version so has the dual mosfet, electronic trigger and self diagnostic system. Programming the trigger is simple. Power up the gun and its set to single or automatic. Depress the trigger for 5 seconds and the gun will 'vibrate' indicating the switch from full auto to 3 round burst, The self diagnostic system is accessed by depressing the trigger and then plugging in the battery. The gun will then check through the electronic systems and mechanic systems for any faults. If any minor faults are detected it will still allow the gun to function but will give indications to what is wrong. If there is a major fault the system protects itself and wont let you cycle the gun. But you want to know about the gun itself. Its very light weight considering its almost entirely metal. Feels very comfortable and natural to shoulder and support. Has a bit more of an aggressive feel to it with the styling on the receiver etc. Trigger is fairly snappy on my 9.9v life batteries. Accuracy seems pretty good as a stock system. There is no wobble in anywhere noticeable. Nearly all features are ambidextrous and laid out for ease of use with the left side mag release slightly recessed to prevent you accidentally catching it and dropping the mag. Battery changes are easy. You just pull down the adjuster on the Butt stock and twist it 90 degrees. Then pull the butt stock off the tube leaving you with the length of the tube to place batteries.Most normal sized stock batteries will fit into the tube and ics seem to have thought this through. As they have included a small rubber button on the underside of the tube, It can be inserted into any of the adjustment points on the stock tube to prevent you potentially crushing wires when adjusting the stock (the button prevents the stock moving any further towards the reciver). The only negative is the lack of a bolt lock, meaning you have to use hold the bolt open whilst adjusting the hop up. Overall it seems a well thought out, well laid out platform.
  23. A new gun bag so i can carry a back up gun to a game and this... ICS CXP Mars sbr SSS. Now i just need to decide what sight, grip, covers and other fancy dangledoodies to add on and hang off it, Tempted by a paracord sling at the moment.
  24. So with a bolt recoil off the menu as they aren't supposed to be great.  Ics mars or a g&g tr model. Will admit the mars looks nicely different in a subtle way

    1. Georgeturner2001

      Georgeturner2001

      Are you after a recoil then? If so don't go with either the G and G or mars as that's just the simulated bolt bolt reciprocating back and forth, adds a nice sound but there's no 'recoil' there!

    2. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      Recoil would be good. But Tm are out of my price range and I'm also trying to support the local shop who don't stock Tm or kwa :(

    3. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      if your local shop don't stock the items you're after then they don't support you... why would you compromise on the product you want based upon a store's available stock? 

       

  25. Whats folks opinions on the Bolt Recoils? Seems reviews are either very good or very bad,

      Can someone fill me in with what a bolt recoil is?

    3. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      @steakandpotato its another brand of recoil aeg, Cheaper and harder kicking than tokyo Marui, more readily available than the kwa erg series, But it seems to be a real mixed reactions platform. which begs the question of it being worth £320-4£400
