      Don't cross the streams. Need a proton blaster aeg

  2. Don’t use ruoskygear store on aliexpress. Ordered a fma exfil lite foliage green helmet last Monday. 4 days ago (2 before the cancellation deadline) they asked if I would accept dark earth instead which was ok. Yesterday morning it was marked as despatched. A few hours before automatic cancellation. Today they message to say they don’t have DE would black be ok. Well clearly it hasn’t been despatched and they are lying.

      Can’t cancel the order as they have declared it as shipped. Also can’t open a disputed until 10 days after it’s marked as shipped.

      Gutted for you mate. That's the one time that AliExpress is an issue, when it goes wrong!

      Just FYI, the FMA Unity Tactical style helmet adaptors won't work on an Exfil helmet. I had to blag the adaptor from Unity Tactical themselves which cost an arm and a leg for two little bits of metal!

    4. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      They the adapters for things like sordins and contacts headsets? If so I’m ok as I run a throat mic with security style ear piece. 

  3. so i got a multicam plate carrier and battlebelt with a helmet on the way. Question is what camo to get. Multicam, mc tropic, mc black, atacs or something else. Cant decide.

      Well that stung @Lozart but £140 later and i have the leo kholer trousers and ubacs coming to me.

      should go well with the Multicam plate carrier and battle belt, along with the helmet with multicam cover (if aliexpress ever sip it). Oooooh and got me a nice Dynatex timed bfg for some woodland chaos too

  4. Uh oh. Might be joining the multiglam brigade. Warrior cpc,pathfinder chest rig, solo international belt with assorted extra pouches and warrior universal pistol holster. All for £160. I think I might have to bite. 

  5. That moment when you get some unexpected money and you have to decide. New warrior recon/pathfinder with all the bells and whistles and a bfg. Or a new rif.

      NEED ? What is this word ? 

    4. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      Looks like new kit, bfg and mags for my erg are in the cards. Finally trade up from the 30/60’s to 30/120 mags. Just need a decent woodland grenade now. 

  6. Thought of the day. 

    For the occasional (fortnightly) average joe skirmisher. Is the extra money for something like warrior gear really worth it over your 8fields, tmc etc. 

    Looking at a new loadout for myself and considering a od warrior pathfinder/plate carrier combo. 

    1. heroshark

      heroshark

      depends what your bothered by eg colours of camo if you are getting a camo one . Also if you are gonna stick with it . I found the cheap stuff perfectly serviceable. 

       

    2. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      I tend to switch between loadouts. Been running about in my tears of the sun impression for best part of a year. Mix in my more pmc black/tan loadout when playing non woodland or cqb 

    3. heroshark

      heroshark

      well I'd go cheap then if You are not gonna stick with it

       

  7. What’s people’s the best helmet with bang for your buck. Thinking bump style helmet.

      What’s your concerns with the thickness ?

    3. Lasbrisas17

      Lasbrisas17

      Just feels super cheap, you can bend the helmet easy.

      Ok fair enough , I can vouch they are strong enough to protect from an impact though after having half a brick knocked out of 1st floor window (a derelict farm house at the old pathfinder site Swansea valley) bounce of one I was wearing , freely admit I did see stars AND had a killer headache for a good few hrs afterward but I was ok and the helmet wasn’t even cracked , you could see white staring in the plastic from the impact but no cracking .👍

  8. on the prowl for a new belt as my el cheepo has given up the ghost. Cant decide between the frv shooters belt or a warrior gunfighter.

  9. my PTS KWA ERG lives once more. Talk about a pain to sort in the end. Intermittent fault making it worse.  

    All new connectors. Still not properly fixed. 

    Completely rewired. Still not fixed. 

    New motor. Eureka finally rocking like it should. £110 on repairs ouch.

      It was second hand. Just a few years old and had trouble figuring out what was causing the fault. But it ran flawlessly today

    3. Druid799

      Druid799

      Things like this do my swede in ! 🤬

      hence I only buy 2nd hand these days from guys I know off from there online foot print , don’t know you or of you ? Then sorry I ain’t buying from you .

    4. ghostwalker

      In fairness @Druid799 it was working fine for about 6 months. Then just after Xmas it developed an intermittent fault that was really awkward to diagnose. Think the motor was just knackered, it just seemed more like to be a connector/contact wiring issue as it was so random. 

  10. Ics cxp ape and kwa erg both back up and running thanks to Sean at Combat Action Games. Ape needed a new piston and the erg wasn’t the trigger mech after all. Just a faulty connector. 

    Happy days and only £25 out of pocket. 

    Ics mars needs proper surgery though as main board is fried. 

  11. Cant believe my run of bad luck. 

    Ics cxp ape - piston stripped a few months ago. 

    2 weeks ago trigger mech fried on my kwa erg. 

    Today everything fine. Get home ics mars starts running away on full auto and won’t stop unless the battery is disconnected. 

    All 3 primaries knackered

      That’s part of the hobby. 

       

      Now you have the fun of fixing them.

    3. Asomodai

      The ape is an easy fix considering its a split gearbox. Get a new piston and install it, wont take more then 20 minutes first time.

      welcome to airsoft, its why i have so many guns- i can generally keep 1 or 2 going at any one time :P

  12. Tired, bruised, aching all over. I think that’s a sign of a good days airsoft having been had. 

    1. Monkman

      Monkman

      Same, but will keep going as long as I can....Makes me feel alive and still gets the blood pumping!  "They can only take my gun from my cold, dead hands"  :)

    2. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      They ain’t ever taking mine. That’s what super glue was invented for. Though they can take the cxp ape seeing as it stripped its piston just before the final big fight for Main Street at pleasurewood hills. 

  13. Tick tick watching the clock. One more work shift tomorrow then Operation Plastic Storm and 200 players descending on the Pleasurewood Hills theme Park for a day of airsoft. 

  14. Best suggestions for a sub £100 pistol. Preferably suitable for winter too and maybe an extra mag. Thinking the asg mk23. Any other good suggestions ?

  15. After McGyver-zing a mollie holder for my AI burst xl grenade. Time to put it through its paces in woodland airsoft today. 

  16. woo hoo. Missed the last Combat Action Games event at the pleasurewood hills theme park. Not missing the next one in november though. Airsoft in a themepark

      As I understand it. It will be in 11-11-18. 

  17. anyone recommend a relatively cheap and cheerful rifle torch

     

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      £10 cheap enough?  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/650nm-Red-Dot-Laser-sight-Combo-w-CREE-LED-Flashlight-Light-Torch-UK-BIG-SALE/113104483369?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

       

      Nice and compact, fits on a pistol or a rifle.  On/off switch (no strobe mode or multiple brightness nonsense to get in the way), or an optional momentary pressure switch.  Has a fairly bright torch, or a laser, or even both together if you're feeling kinky.

       

      Comes with 2 small li-ion batteries (16340's, I think).  You'll need to buy a generic charger for 3.7V lithiums, one with a sliding contact that can charge various lengths of batteries.  Typically sold as 18650 / 18450 chargers.

       

      But £10 for the basic unit is a decent deal.

    2. Gepard

      Gepard

      I've been using an ultrafire wf-502b for a couple years now. 3 brightness settings plus a strobe. Gets me through the rare night game anyway. Fits in all of my mounts. 

    3. tasum

      tasum

      I went for your recommendation Rogerborg, thanks to the op and to you for the linky :)

  18. Does anyone know of a blue hop rubber that instead of a normal ‘mound’, has 2 little ‘teeth’. Like a normal mound with a v shape cut out?

      That could well be the beast. It's available through skirmshop too.Might have to order one just incase the prommie flat hop set up doesn't work well

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      Let me know how it works, if you get one!

    4. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      If its the same one thats already in my erg . Then it is awesome. Barely any hop actually applied and its sending .28's straight and flat for what seems like forever and thats on a fairly worn and battered rubber.

  19. Kwa pts erg scout. Whats peoples recommendations for replacement hop rubbers in these? Had heard they could be very picky about them.

  20. Well the KWA erg is fricking amazing. Just not so much with the Tears of the sun' loadout. Need more room for mags. New loadout maybe.....

  21. On site at battlestations. Mars and kwa erg safely through chrono. It’s gonna be a good day!

  22. Decent rifle hard cases that can hold multiple rifles. Any suggestions?

      Gorilla case on Amazon. Cheap too.

      Pelican 1740, or pelican 1780.

      You might be able to find a clone out there but looking at those 2 should show you what you can have in a case.

      As much as I’d give my left neutered bollox for one if I could , but it’s the buttock clenching price of Peli case’s that puts me off them !😖

       

  23. Arrrgh Mrs has just said she will give me the £400 for a pre owned kwa recoil with a load of mags,batteries and a hard case. Now the guy isn’t answering messages. Much finger gnawing is on

      I'm lucky, dive shop is 10 mins walk, I just get them to fill the HPA cylinders, I can carry two in a backback.  Might work out more expensive in the long run, but I don't fancy going down the scuba/refill route.

    4. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      The kwa erg is all mine!!! Now i just need a rifle case big enough for all my rifs!

  24. Great morning of airsoft. Grenade and pistol kills galore today. Highly unusual for me.

  25. pre gameday prep underway. You all know the drill charge this, load that, lose something, find something you forgot you had. Rinse and repeat.

      Would have said the same 6 weeks ago. But 6 weeks on gone from 2.5 -5 .1 miles and 15st 9lbs down to 14st 3lbs. Much needed change.
