I have to agree with the genral attitude. I think that rank and badges should stay out of airsoft unless its an ex forces player wearing their own badges. If you think you have millitary leadership skill go sign up. I had a great chat this weekend with a player as we joked about how unfit we where. Its a sport with toy guns that utilises camo clothes (not that it makes you invisible in the slightest in cqb sites) Other than that we arnt soldiers and so dont need ranks and regimental badges. If im totally honest if some random 20odd year old with a high millitary rank badge turns to me and attempts to give me orders as he thinks he has leadership value, id tell him to fuck off!

Yea maybe, i did hand one of my pistols to some one at one point. Had a really great time today. Have to agree that everyone should go and try it out. -

Ah sweet, i was all mtp'd up 5'3" lol had a tan fast helmet with black lower mesh attached, and a warrior patch on my left arm. I was room 2. You part of a bigger team of about 20 odd? If so was having a good chat with one of your lads. I was the little guy with twin pistols all day lol. -

Ah i loved it! Will defo be a regular on my list of sites. @sacarathe: mate is tons of space in the safe zone and my pts rm4 was running 350fps so couldnt play it and it spent the whole day sat in the save zone. I was very happy to leave it there too. I spent the whole day running about with a we m&p and my m&p sai both with extended mags. Was still awesome! Also the shop thats there is excellent too. The guy sold me a returned unwanted we m&p cheap and did a deal on the mags as i wanted an extra pistol and more mags when my aeg was ruled out. Unfortunatly was my last outing till mid september :'( as my gf wants the plumbing and electrics finished in our house so she can paint it n we can move in. -
Well iv been playing now for around 3 months. And during that time myself and my bro have frequented ucap bunker. (For those who have not played it, 350fps limit and full ato everywhere, with all dark tunnels) Today we traved to the mall, an hour and a bit away. Every one raves about it so we decided to check it out....... Oh my, its bloody amazing!!! Very well marshelled, great games, exellent team spirit from the players on our team. 112 players today all in all and didnt feel crowded atal. The site is very very playable. I now see what all the fuss is about. We will defo be back on the regular! For any noobs who havnt been, it really is worth a trip.

Lol, awesome! Not a fan of electric cars atal though. I hate them all. No fuel no fun imo, im a through and through petrol head! -
Cheers guys
-
Sweet, cheers dude, and both that and the hard foam masks offer an ok form of protection for the teeth?
-
Havnt a pic to hand have you bud?
-
Any one trued one? Looks comfier than a lower mesh (which i hate wearing) but not sure if it will protect my teeth from am actual hit or is just a gimic like a neoprene lower (which sufocates you as you atempt to breath through it as you run) my issue is i like my ess v12's and hate lower mesh masks. I just want to be comfy and keep my teeth is it so much to ask in airsoft?

Just have the screen facing inwards to your body. Will be fine then. Or buy a cheap copy of a full sealed armour water tight style case. My mate bought one for about 10quid and he put his iphone in the water with it on. For a cheap copy was spot on.
-
Helikon gloves for me super comfy and very flexable. Decent padding on too.
-
I agree again and you are right i didnt mention it. I do actually own one too, and it has red,green and blue filter lenses in the storage cap at thebottom too. I do agree as the green light works great for not messing with your adjusted eyes in the dark.
-
Im not saying it works agianst you but it can certianly give up a position, i play bunker most of the time and all it takes is a shining torch two tunnels over and you know exactly where to head to get people! And i agree as all the torches i use have flash switches/pads but again that few secs can be enough for people a few tunnels away to start homing in on you! You are quite right the site itself will have alot to do with the efectiveness of the torch and the way you can use it. But is a clear concept if you turn one on you stand as much chance being seen as you do being able to now see.
-
I kinda go the other way and have a 75lumen pistol torch fitted to my m4 as it is bright enough to see by and pick out wnimies in the dark but not so bright that an i xan be seen from space. Rule nuber 1 of a torch if you can see, you can be seen! The brighter th torch the further away people notice the light moving arond from.

See i have just bought a pistol as ahandy back up. My last game i was in a situation where i was supressing 4 players and my mag ran out in my m4. They where trying to get in thriugh a crawl space so i had a massive advantage till i was out of ammo. The speed of the mag swap cost me and i got hit as they pressed through. With a pistol i could of carried on poping off shots while i one handed mag swaped the m4 (its on a sling im obv not a ninja) so now pistol purchased as a back up! Im happy to spend the money and even if it only saves my bacon now and then its worth it. I play cqb and im sure ill find i use it plenty. Better to have a pistol and not use it than need a pistol and not have it!

Why what size do you need? Im 5'3" and 11stone i wear medium t-shirts etc and my was ricas plate carrier is comfey as hell and sits sooo nice! My little bro is 5'9" and 17stone he wears an x-large t shirt and we adjusted my was plate carrier for him and it fit fine with plenty of adjustment left to go. Warrior gear is epic quality! And the multicam matches very well to my pcs army surplus gear.
-
I too have was stuff from them. Quality is exillent and its very well made. I dont buy rig equipment etc any where else. Exellent customer services too!

what does your other half think of your airsofting??
shortman replied to shortman's topic in General Discussion
Funny that i offered to do the same with gf and she declined getting shot too. I think the evil smirk that followed the "why dont i shoot you" sentance is what made her doubt it though. -
