I was looking at this one: http://www.helmetworld.co.uk/airsoft-ops-core-black-swat-tactical-maritime-abs-helmet-jump-rail-ml-36736-p.asp I got confused by the name 'swat'. I want a modern military helmet not a swat team helmet.

Can anyone advise me on a good milsim helmet? I've had a look around and got lost with all the choices. I would like rails to mount a comtac head set, the option for NVG, and covers for diffrent camos. Thank you,

I'm looking at: Smith Optics Elite Outside The Wire Turbo Fan Goggles £149.99 And Revision Desert Locust Fan Goggles £94.99 There are lots of reviews on both but I can't find any direct comparrisons. Anyone able to comment on these? I would like my goggles to be scope friendly, night vision compatible, and milsim. If anyone has experience with these direct topics that would be great to hear about! P.s Anyone bought from www.tactical-kit.co.uk? They have both so might order from them.

Thank you all for your advice. I'm going to go with the CYMA MP5k for a few reasons. I would prefer a metal gun. If I got the TM I know I wouldn't touch the internals and I do want to have a play about with them to learn. The CYMA is dirt cheap in comparison so if I mess it up I can buy another! Just some quick last questions; Thank you for putting me onto www.taiwangun.com, has this site got a good reputation in the community? The price seems hard to believe £97.73 vs the £160 my local store want... I called my local dealer to see the CYMA but they are out of stock, the guy suggested I get the JG MP5k that they had as they are "identical", how true is this? Edit: Also would the MP5 PDW instead of MP5k be better? I can just take the stock off to make it smaller. Just wondering if I can get a bigger bat inside the PDW version?

Ah thank you. It says it comes with 320fps. I want to get that up to 350fps so will probably be putting in a stronger spring.

Sorry but why would I 'downgrade' do you not mean upgrade?

So go with TM and don't touch it or get the new CYMA and upgrade? Seems to be what you guys are saying?

Hi I’m new to airsoft and currently planning my first purchase. Eventually I want my load out to comprise of a bolt action sniper rifle, a pistol, and a PDW. I’m not really here to discuss the pros and cons of going sniper. From my research it seems this aspiration from new players is shot down due to people not understanding what it takes to play a sniper effectively. I’m aware most people are advised to get the standard M4 and play with that for a bit, I won’t enjoy this. Trust me when I say it fits my play style and I’m not under any illusions that I will be running about COD style racking up kills. So with that said I need some advice on the PDW. My local range will only allow the use of bolt action rifles over 30 meters. I want a good automatic weapon to cover that 0-30 gap. The pistol will help with this but I want the back up of a good automatic for when I get spotted and need to lay down some bb’s fast. I want the pistol to be silent so don’t want an automatic pistol. Not fussed about the PDW being silent as I would tend to only use it when seen anyway. After a lot of reading I want to go with an MP5k that I plan to upgrade to get the most out of it. During my research I’ve run into a contradiction though. People seem to recommend the TM MP5k High-Cycle. People also say that buying a TM for upgrading is pointless as you’re paying for the internals, no point spending cash for bits you’re going to replace. This has left me unsure what to do. Should I buy a TM MP5k High Cycle and upgrade that, or should I get a cheaper metal gun like the CYMA MP5k and upgrade from there. In summary: The general advice out there regarding MP5k’s is to get TM MP5k HC, but in the same breath don’t buy TM guns to upgrade… confused! P.S Money is not a concern, I can afford any options I've talked about above. Just don't want to waste it! Thank you
