Well i played longmoor on saturday (epic venue!!!!!) and took my new smith optics boogie regulators which i give 10/10 for tacticoolness and style. But 0/10 for being able to see sod all! So after half a day of playing blind i swapped out at luch to the ever faithfull ess v12's. Safe to say iv had my fill of goggles now and the smiths are going back. So can anyone recomend shooting glasses that wrap nice and far around the sides of the face and fit close but also have either a head band strap or can be fitted with one as i just cant deal with fogging anymore but still want as close to the face protection as i can get.

If you want to play a bunker you should try the ucap bunker. Is nuts down there! Is also full auto every where and 350fps limit. Is extreeme cqb in damn near pitch black -
No idea what half of that was advertising but iv just bought all of them! Who says sales marketing doesnt work eh?

Airsoft Vs Milsim - Differences ? Opinions ?
shortman replied to RandomTrashy's topic in General Discussion
I too am playing with okto in december and also playing at longmoor on saturday which is a steping stone style event. With some milsim rules. I do agree we should all play the game we each like to play. But hey lets be honest, we have had 4 pages of banter/disscusion/argument. Has made for a good read and disscusion if nothing else -
Airsoft Vs Milsim - Differences ? Opinions ?
shortman replied to RandomTrashy's topic in General Discussion
Im not saying it is wrong or right, just that i think its the more overly serious approch that puts some off trying milsims. Almost like thier needs to be an inbetween the two levels of play for the less seriouse milsimmer whanting a more serious skirmish. -

I agree with deebo, i think its seems to be the two differences more between the have a laugh skirmish and they take it too seriouse milsimmer. I just want middle ground, i want the organised feel of milsim but to still be smiling and having fun. If i wanted to be so hardcore i felt like i was in the army or to the point where i feel like im on an sas training ground id go join the forces. -

Im off to my first milsim event in december (okto 8's event). I love skirmish games but sometimes wish people worked a bit more like a team than just aload of people out for themselves. Variaty is the spice of life and as much as i enjoy and have a laugh just running round like a gun ho crazy mofo the idea of working as a team to attack/deffend or obatain and objective seems fun too. Doesnt mean because you want a bit more team based eviroment that i need to by an saab and bevome an accountant whith a high horse. -
Yea there green gas im not a fan of but the low temp stuff was good when playing in the cold bunkers of ucap. I have to agree though it would apear nuprol products genrally arnt up to scratch really.
-
Yea the nuprol 3.0 is 17.99 a can. But works between 3-10° which is pretty efficiant. Thing is if you run a gas gun they are genrally more expensive to run/maintain. If you want to run a gas gun in the winter then is defo going to be more expenisve to make work well. Sooooo buy expesive low temp gas or buy an aeg lol love my aeg wouldnt swap it for any gbbr on the market + all the tea in china! My gas pistol i love and in the cold works fine as the nuprol 3.0 gas last bloody for ever in pistol mags
-
Said it before will say it agian. Use nuprol low temp green gas in the cold. Works great! From anything above 5-7° and if its colder than that then personaly id rather be at home in the warm.

No experience but looking for first gun

As Duck says. Have a good read of the guides. The forum has some excellent guides and a are defo worth a read. -
Just to add deebo needs mid caps, ideally 120's give or take.

Blackpool lass newbie. Eyewear for glasses wearer?
shortman replied to Ondine's topic in New Players & Arrivals
The v12's do have a two stage lens position dont forget, i run mine on the locked out possitiom not the locked in, and also the bunker is a bitch for fogging jedi. You could have no eye pro down there and still fog its so damn cold -
Who is up for the Mall on 06/09/15 and the 13th?
shortman replied to Brackish's topic in Other Events and Meets
Is an epic site tbh. Only thing that was a minor downer is the 330fps limit that ment i couldnt use my aeg. Most sites are 350fps so font want to spend out on a downgrade just for mall. Very playable site on pistols though. -
Is combat south a good airsoft site?
shortman replied to Pompeyairsofter36's topic in Skirmish Sites, Stories & Reviews
I hear good things about them and thier shop too. -
Is exactly what id do too.
-
You sound like a fair and honest guy. He sounds nieve and like he is being taken for a long and expensive walk by a shop who saw him coming. 7weeks is well beyond refund timescales imo. You have already offered more help than most would.

Weighed my m4 and minus mag and battries its 3.2kg

Cool, ill keep an eye out for an update bud

Have you used the sniper much? Whats your overall verdict? Seems a fairly cheap way to have a little dabble as a sniper before buying an all out sniper supreme gun.

Some people have some damn heavy guns!
