  1. I just wish more youtubers would record the audio separately, even if they're in frame, its just appalling to watch people that do not plan their lines when not doing this.
  2. airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27542-helmets-whats-the-opinion/?hl=helmet#entry208862 airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27857-new-player-looking-for-advice/?hl=helmet airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/26687-airsoft-helmet/?hl=helmet airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/26042-good-helmets/?hl=helmet airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/22015-airsoft-helmets/?hl=helmet airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/24676-my-emerson-fast-helmet/?hl=helmet airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/23878-budget-helmets/?hl=helmet#entry173149 One point of emphasis, measure your head, and repro helmets come in cheap, and adjustable versions, be sure you know which you're buying.
  3. Think this is in the wrong forum. There is a specific forum for media and another for reviews. Liked the dive to HPA video though!
  4. In all honesty, I'd send you to play battlefield 4. In the games in which a player is operating a UAV in which the opposing team does not have an operator, the games have distinct potential for imbalance. That said, engaging in a fair fight is bad form anyway, and adding a tool to both sides must be done carefully lest it be ultimately pointless. Interested in the hit detection you envisage, though I can't help but wonder how one would hit it at all, if airsoft guns fire at 50-80m flat, how do they fair when actively opposing gravity. Though any drone would be out of range anyway?
  5. I've not yet had an issue, though obviously I can't remove the helmet, but I've not yet found a reason I would want to.
  6. Hah, I lost one of my three at an airsoft game, though personally I think someone nicked it. Jokes on them if they did it was my only leaky one. I think that philosophy is more down to what ive been told by retailers, and we know why they might say that.
  7. Good to know, though I did not intend to imply it was illegal.
  8. As it's a gas pistol, i'll just roll with, if it breaks buy another. Though I think my next pistol will not be a TM, the retailers charge far too much for the magazines. I do disassemble clean and lube the gun after every game. Including spraying into the ejection port while a mag is in.
  9. I have my goggles over the helmet - but the strap matches the camo, otherwise I'd image it to look quite odd also.
  10. By disassemble, you mean remove the bottom screw and split in half? I've not seen this advice previously, though I do use the maintenance gas.
  11. Actually I'm all for that kind of inclusive for the reasons you mentioned, just not people talking about it. However if this is a real problem, perhaps running duplicate events would be the way to go, the private event and then the public event the following week. Got to be more money that way too, and less work for duplicating? Alternatively, the public event first, to ensure a higher quality event for the private later.
  12. Because that's a great way to get good press in a small hobby community. :/
  13. store.specwarfare.com/en/ (HK ), Ebay, amazon is good for products from Military1st, ukmcpro,.
  14. Yes, it is surprising the number of people with mask and goggle straps under their helmets.
  15. Are you talking about "at the chronograph" or in general? In general the gun fires whatever BB you put in, but you will need to re-tune the hop every time you change the ammunition.
  16. Generally you can only get in trouble if you gun is firing above the FPS it had when it was tested at the start of an event day, this normally can only because 'someone' has tampered with it in the intervening time. Generally FPS is not recorded at test time beyond "that gun was below X". Some sites do however have limits dead on 328 or 340, it is not always 350 for an automatic gun. If you avoided the chronograph, or missed it, it is your responsibility to ensure you are chrono'd. Do not miss it.
  17. In that case, you're just like the rest of us, there are lots of threads on this topic and much has been said before, if you give exacting requirements, people can really help you out, but otherwise, hire at your next game, and ask as many people as possible if you might be able to hold their gun and then aim each down the sights. Shoot it if allowed, some people assume you will, but I always ask. I even swapped with someone who was hiring once for a few shots in the middle of an engagement. I don't recommend shopping here, tax is guaranteed, shipping does not include [mandatory] handling fees, but this page is great for finding ideas: http://www.evike.com/shop/21/672/ M4's are recommended because they're the most common (and commonly desired), and common equals cheaper, more competitive manufactures, and cheaper up/side-grades. Once you have UKARA you can import guns - though it can be worth paying more to get it from inside europe. Be sure to check the weight of guns when buying them, two guns of the exact type can have 2+ KGs of weight difference. Guns are generally priced 20-80, 80-130, 130-180, 180-250, £250+ in my observations, two guns from similar price brackets are going to be similar quality in many cases - as are two from the same manufacturer/range in adjacent brackets. These brackets do not include batteries, chargers, slings, or bags: cheaper guns do often come with NiMh batteries and chargers included. 80-130 is a great starting point, gets you off hiring, you have not spent too much if you run into problems - even if those problems are in part caused by not spending much, you have a cheaper throwaway gun for lending to friends after you buy your 'main' gun, you can learn about AEGs from a cheaper gun - most guns allegedly get worse when you open the insides for the first time. You have a backup when your main gun has issues. You also won't mind so much that first time you fall on it. Don't forget face protection when you stop hiring. Buy a sling.
  18. I was going to link to a gun, I just bought, from the orange/blue BB sites, but i'm flabbergasted to see it is 105% more expensive in the UK in two tone, than poland. Answer this before anyone else can help you: Are you 18 or over? Do you have a UKARA number?
  19. That post (the bit on company information) should be added to the guides!
  20. Second mesh face mask, Sling, x2 Webbing belt, 32 FMA Magpul clone rail covers, Angled fore grip, hand stop kit, admin pouch with pistol mag slot. 30x100, 30x150, 30x200 unmarked suppressors. 140mm double threaded barrel extension.
  21. If that's true, why does the proportion of people not wearing lower face protection greatly decrease in CQB?
  22. Ankle/knee protection. If the average engagement distance is under 10m, indoors, and on semi auto, you may find a pistol to be quite useful, and for GBB fun. The not wearing of lower face protection, in the videos, does not necessarily show the engagement distances of the players. Not to mention some sites operate absolutely no head shot rules. So if no one is firing at head height - beyond the first 10m to account for the guns firing height, accidental head shots wouldn't be to common. A lot going on in videos that you may not be aware of to explain the lack of lower protection, not to mention some gumshields for airsoft type purposes do work.
