  1. True, I will be in my Buffy vampire kit. So which wood did you want steak to be, oak, ash, or yew?
  2. This weekend? Damn, I may be too busy putting my tumble dryer lint collection into colour and shade order... however, if all the girls are getting together for a dump pouch bang fest then I ought to make the effort to attend
  3. Advantage of having the non-vented maritime type or simply using a helmet cover to stop those flukey head shots The number of times I that have hit my head or knocked into something, especially when in the dark, and avoided any injury or pain due to wearing a FAST helmet makes it an essential piece of kit for me.
  4. FMA and Emerson helmets are copies of the real thing, a replica, in the same way that a Tokyo Marui gun is a replica of the real steel. And the really cheap ones, the 'clones' (without the symantics of all helmets probably being made in china) whilst also copies, are more like the JBBG version [i just use the term "cheaper china clone" because I like the alliteration]
  5. Putting in a link to their website would be useful. I assume this is it: Badlands Abingdon http://www.swindonairsoft.co.uk/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=229 Not much information except the address and walk on fee £10. They really do need to put some effort into their website. Is it outdoor urban or woodland or both; is it CQB, what are the site fps limits, timings, etc Edit: I do not do facebook, so all relevant information needs to be on a normal website as well.
  6. Yes, see this thread. http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/28885-dye-i4-mask/?hl=fans#entry220804 I did have to modify my Fast helmet, followed a couple of YouTube videos for reference, to get the mask inside it. Fairly simple process: remove screws from front of rails, cut plastic straps and carefully pull off front padded section, remove soft padding from polystyrene part and replace soft padding into helmet and reattach the rails. Effectively you remove the front padding to allow the mask space to sit inside the helmet, otherwise the helmet rests on the mask and there is this small oval gap offering no protection to the forehead. Think you need the FMA or Emerson type Fast helmet to mod it, not the cheaper china clone with solid polystyrene insert, although you could probably remove some of the insert to make space (depends on your craft skills).
  7. I think the Dye i4 mask is excellent and would recommend them. I bought mine on Amazon from BZ Paintball Supplies Ltd for £75 (free P&P), which saved about 25% off the normal price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FY5NB0C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
  8. Agree, when I was looking for another FAST helmet this was the best option. I always look inside the helmet to see the fittings and padding, would not buy one with the solid polysterene insert that the cheaper/poorer quality ones have. Worth spending the extra to get the FMA helmet over the generic Chinese ones for £20-30 which have less adjustability.
  9. A Helikon Alpha Tactical Grid fleece http://www.military1st.co.uk/bl-alt-fg-35-helikon-alpha-tactical-grid-fleece-jacket-shadow-grey.html
  10. Indoor, all year facility, offering multiple days per week. There was a recent thread asking our opinions on a new outdoor (woodland) site in Hertfordshire, it is worth reading if you have not seen it as many of the points will be valid for indoors as well http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29709-hertfordshire-potential-new-site-market-research/
  11. But if the Terminator makes an appearance then you can take one for the team as we all run away
  12. Just the usual four: HK416, Mk23 pistol, bayonet, and a few pyro. And my quick wit and repartee.
  13. I Googled the map for the first time I went to there but was still completely lost most of the time down in the darkness of the basement, it is so easy to go the wrong way. Even now I find that orienteering with the map is difficult, trying to balance the compass on the map whilst holding the torch...
  14. managed to post stsatus reply in wrong place, doh.

  15. Do not look at any pistols on the Internet, even when the urge is strong, it leads to the darkside. I am resisiting the urge but now you have made me start am thinking about owning a TM HK45.

  16. I read a magazine article about last years event and it was a good review, great to get lots of retailers in one location. If The Mall does hold the same event this year I would want to go. Online shopping is fine but I do like to see products in person.
  17. Well accidents do happen, as do 'lucky' throws
  18. Now that would be a good move in the basement, sneak up behind a player and quietly slip one into their dump pouch and then slip away
  19. Now we are all wanting to have a go. It will be interesting to see the difference with a mosfet fitted one compared to a stock rifle.
  20. The latest issue of Airsoft Action (March 2016) has an article on the new ASG Dan Wesson 715 (.357 Magnum) revolver. It comes in two versions; a stainless silver (low power) one with internal regulator at 300 fps and a steel grey (high power) one at 435-455 fps but can use "power down" shells that reduce the fps by about 50%.
  21. Have you looked at this website for Flecktarn camo, new and used kit. http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/camouflagekit_flecktarn.html
  22. Welcome
  23. I am not part of a team but I think that even in a skirmish there is merit in a brick / four man fire team working together. Room clearance where you each cover an arc and know someone has your back and you have theirs. The number of times you fight forward only to have no one else from your colour team with or behind you to exploit the attack.
  24. Well I for one will sleep better tonight knowing that there is an apostrophe in its correct place. Now time to get back to counting my BBs.
  25. Yes, the older boys are so mean and always showing off. And they keep picking up on your grammer as well - "it's" Luckily there is counsellling available.
