Welcome to the forum You will find lots of useful information and advice here, as well as witty banter and threads going off topic. Krytac guns are becoming a popular choice, and there are some close to your budget. Not recommending these retailers in particular, just to used illustrate the Krytac range (not M4 per se but similar in style) http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/search.asp?q=krytac&Search=Search and http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/krytac-m175#page2:infscr4369 I am sure there are some owners here who can recommend their Krytac guns.

Power to the People! The Forum Feedback sub forum does read "Tell us what you think of AF-UK! Is there anything missing?" so it is a place to put forward ideas, whether popular or not. I raised the question late last year, in November, about having a shorter minimum character length to make searching easier. Radical I know. Also I do think it would be useful for HPA to have its own sub forum where all technical advice could reside even though I do not have any guns fitted for HPA.

Could be due to using Internet Explorer, I had the same issue of not being able to quote, so installed Google Chrome and now use that to access this forum with all the functionality.

Let's not forget the Black Death which arrived in Europe in the mid 14th century. Known as the plague, this was the pandemic of Yersina pestis that killed about 30% of the European population and 50% of china. Those that survived were able to pass on antibodies down the generations which meant the small outbreak of 1665 was less effective.

Will it even fit my massive Mk23 Socom?

Ebola? I would count that as a plague, so am avoiding West africa.

If you have not had a chance to read the sticky threads in the New Players & Arrivals section (and a place to say hello) then would highly recommend checking them out because they will really help you. This link is for playing on a tight budget http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/12854-new-player-guides-info/ And you may need to increase your budget a little.

I have no experience of that particular brand. I bought a Viper one because it is one of the few low cost holsters that fit my larger sized pistol. If you have more time to shop around and wait for delivery then there are no doubt better options but if cost and time are important then get it. Once you have used it for a few games you will see whether the quality and style is good enough for your needs or whether you want a replacement / a different style (i.e.belt/hip holster).

Anything that means getting up before 0900 hrs at the weekend is too early. However, if I want to go to an event then I just make the effort to get up early and go. Not being relient on public transport makes this possible. Advantage of driving is that I can go door to door and carry as much kit as I like. The downside is feeling knackered on the drive home and not being able to have a nap unlike those using a train. I accept an early start time for a full days gameplay, I suppose sites could have variable timings based on the season and available daylight if playing outdoors.

Yes, I should have expanded the abbreviation CQB to Close Quarter Battle. Which is what an indoor site would provide.
-
Maybe a few relevant details would help. Where are you planning opening this site? Is this arena going to be an indoor venue or open air? CQB? Regarding Question 4- How far would you travel to play airsoft? Is this one way or return trip? I have no sites under 20 miles, for a good one I will do 250 mile round trip. Regarding Question 6 - How much are you typically willing to pay for 120 minutes of airsoft? Answer nothing, unless I can get actual gameplay of 3+ hours in an evening or 6+ hours for a day then I am not interested in travelling to a site. Regarding Question 8 - Would you consider using airsoft for a team building or party experience? Are you including a private game day/night for airsofters to have a forum meeting? If you are serious about a opening a new site, then it would be worth reading this thread about market research and forum views: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29709-hertfordshire-potential-new-site-market-research/?hl=hertfordshire And this thread about Whitechapel: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29856-blitz-cqb-whitechapel-airbourne-airsoft/page-3?hl=heart#entry230894

But that company is in Hong Kong, so probably not fast enough delivery to the UK for the OP.

Personally I would not buy anything from JBBG, read some of the reviews/opinions on the forum. You would be better looking at Military 1st website http://www.military1st.co.uk/combat-gear-holsters/ I have two adjustable Viper holsters for my Mk23 pistol, and they are fine for the money and should last you until you want to replace it. I also have a lanyard attached to my belt so I do not lose the pistol.

From PC - goto your "My Profile" (from the drop down under your username at top of screen), use "Edit My Profile" black button (top right), takes you to "My Settings" page where the coloumn on the left has a button with "signature". This is the signature editor where you add your words and save. Edit: realised I misread your question. you could try putting text between [ quote ] and [/quote ] (need to remove the spaces in the square brackets) @Aengus uses them so he will have the answer of how to add username and date.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Jedi_Master replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I would go by for the yellow as it is brighter; and then add a long ribbon streamer to help find it again. Purple being an imperial colour means less people my have one though. https://jdairsoft.net/uploads/images/medium/6632b85afcba60ba5de454ab06c0ac74.jpg -
Now if they were 8 TM recoil mags then maybe, but it does seem incredible that someone with any knowledge would buy them. Now I just need to dig out some of my spare crap...
-
At least one bidder (hard to tell with eBay masking usernames) has no feedback so could be a way of bumping up the price.

Not quite on site but a better option than sleeping in a tent: https://www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/rhinefieldhouse or http://www.christchurch-harbour-hotel.co.uk/

If you want a good scope then try VisionKing, many of us recommend them because we use them, either on AEG or GBB. It is within your budget, has clear optics (an important consideration), and enough magnification with adjustment. There are several websites that sell them, I bought mine from eBay for convenience. Example of VisionKing 1.25-5x26 short dot scope - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MLEmart-VisionKing-1-25-5x26-Red-Blue-Dual-Illuminated-Hunting-Scope-/331543514636?hash=item4d31888e0c:g:pOMAAOSw9N1VwJcj 1.25 to 5 is the range of magnification, the size of lens is 26mm. Can also get a 32mm lens for a slightly wider view and higher price.

hello any info on sites around hertfordshire
Jedi_Master replied to poachers's topic in New Players & Arrivals
Welcome The best place to start is having a read of the forum New Player Guides & Information sticky, it is full of very useful info which should answer some of your questions http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/12854-new-player-guides-info/ A quick search has thrown up these 3 sites in Hertfordshire to have a look at: Gunman at Kings Langley http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29792-gunman-kings-langley-herts-site-open-again-for-2016/?hl=hertfordshire AWA Herts http://www.awaherts.com/#awahertsairsoft Red One Airsoft - The School https://www.red1airsoft.co.uk/game_sites -
The National Airsoft Festival (NAE) http://www.groundzeroairsoft.com/nae/booking/main.php Considering the NAE is being hosted by Zero One, the airsoft shop (and forum) it does make sense that they are arranging something at their Ground Zero site in Hampshire which is local to them.

New member seeking advice, players & events in the midlands
Jedi_Master replied to K12K13's topic in New Players & Arrivals
Welcome . Find a local site, rent a gun and try it out. The sooner you start the better, that way if you want to get site membership and a valid defence for a realistic imitation firearm (RIF) you have not wasted time thinking about it. Best advice would be to read all our sticky posts at the top of each section. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience there. New Player Guides & Info http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/12854-new-player-guides-info/ Beginners Guide to Airsoft http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/3779-the-beginners-guide-to-airsoft/ -

What is this survey for? What purpose?
