I only have the remote pressure switch on the 200 lumen light because the other one is a short light which can go on rifle or pistol but has no tailcap fitting http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/G02-600LM-LED-Flashlight-Torch-Tactical-Gun-Pistol-Handgun-Lamp-N7JG-/361104194318?hash=item54137cbb0e

Appears that you had a good time and like many a typical skirmish day at least 3 fail moments which certainly will not be the last time that happens. Just taking the plunge and making the initial effort is so worthwhile and now you have a taste for the hobby it gets easier to go again or try somewhere new. I started out solo but have met and played alongside some great people through this forum, which has meant also trying different sites. Take your hits and have fun

If you like the 1911, then you may want to look at the Elite Shooting Centre who specialise in TM Hi Capa 5.1 (which I believe is based on the 1911). They can do all sorts of modifications for you. http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/ Edit: A more realistic plain black pistol (they used to do full length RIS rails) http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/Gas%20Guns/Gas%20Pistols/Items/5.1%20Hi%20Capa.htm or http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/Gas%20Guns/Gas%20Custom%20Pistols/Items/blk%20inf%20TS.htm

I had two gun mounted tac lights for my last visit to The Mall. One 200 lumen light with tailswitch that I used for navigation in the basement, just a quick flash to check my footing, and then a brighter 600 lumen light with strobe for illuminating a corridor or room. Worked well, using the brighter light when the other team knew where we were, i.e. exchanging shots, or to dazzle when moving. The lumen rating is just base on the two cheap lights I was using. My Fenix PD35 torch has a range of 5 levels between 50 and 950 lumen plus strobe.

Welcome . Read the guides, they have some very useful information and are a good starting point to answer questions.

Once I work out how to take a decent self portrait with my SLR camera, due to lens shake when my arms are outstretched, have sent off the 35mm film to get it developed by Kodak, then selected the best 6x4 photograph, I will need some advice on how to scan it into my computer and attach it to a post. Maybe that is why we never took selfies... much better to snap other people, and there were some great polaroids in magazines

There was a good review of Bush Valley http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27123-bushvalley-airsoft/?hl=valley It would be worth a quick review of your experience there. After playing my first woodland site I ordered a VisionKing scope; they are a good price, recommended by other members, have clear optics for the price, and enough magnification for spotting targets.

I would advise you to buy the best quality gun that you can afford, so that it plays well straight from the box with no modifications required. That way you can go to a skirmish on a more equal footing rather than buy a gun of less quality and then have to keep spending money to fix/upgrade it. Then if you really want to modify it you can at a later date. Start with a conventional AEG, you can still dress like a bush but with the flexibility to get stuck in up close, or play a CQB site, without the Minimum Engagement Distace penalty of a DMR or sniper rifle. Play your 3 games to get site membership and a valid defence. While you are waiting to get your defence do some research and think about what guns you like and narrow down your options so that after the 2 months you are prepared. Do not bother with a two-tone but buy a RIF, and register with UKARA if you want to.

More sales threads but nothing of obvious concern, except maybe some slightly high valuations. Maybe too many without pictures until prompted, and new members not necessarily reading the guides before posting. Hopefully they will get the hang of it and become active contributors.

Likewise, I did not have the opportunity to say hello to everyone. May have to wear some name badges next time to help make identification easier, although guessing their username was a laugh.

You were stood next to RMP and I, and John Tee was next to me. You know i3666 from January, and could not fail to miss Sitting Duck. And Trigger was the crazy one in the bear mesh mask on the other side of you with Pyro Proffrink.

Is that like pin the tail on the donkey, a form of blindfold airsoft.

Out of interest what course are you studying? What level of qualification? Is this USA? How will the survey or collected data help the 'combat gaming' industry?

It has been a while so thought I would post the extended UK Tactical discount codes, valid until midnight Sunday 06 March. For Warrior kit use WARRIOR20 and for other items use EVERYTHING10 http://www.uktactical.com/

Another good video, useful demonstration of drawing pistol from holster. However, what is it like to reholster? A clip or two showing you puting the pistol back into the holster would also be informative, demonstrating just how simple or difficult it is.

It is one of the best for sale posts that I have seen but those scratches are not worth only 1% discount off its price.

Welcome .

Mack's airsoft dreamers thread may get some extra posts And I am sure that any stupid sales will be challenged by forum members in the usual way.

Welcome I am sure you will find this forum a little different to Z1, at least here we can openly discuss different products and retailers. Also the home to some useful knowledge and humour.

As a subscriber to Airsoft Action I love the Tactical Teddy cartoons, wicked sense of humour. Having looked at some of the photographs on Airsoft Addict gallery they are good quality and I see their appeal.

Is it just me or is the Batman logo the first thing that you notice?

Need to be over 18 and have your validated UKARA license to view the videos, otherwise it is a just black and white censored film.

Had the same conversation today about the motors, apparently the US ones area better spec than UK one so may want changing. Had my first look at a Krytac Trident PDW today; it now on my list of potential next gun.

There are options out there (we all have opinions on them) and you may want to consider getting a chest rig, i.e. http://www.uktactical.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=chest+rig. These should have plenty of adjustment to get the correct fit A more radical idea is using a 'grab / bail out' bag, a small bag with mag pockets and internal compartments for other kit, i.e. https://www.nightgear.co.uk/en-UK/511-Tactical-Bail-Out-Bag/540645ng.htm?colour=Black

Hopefully no pictures in the safe zone, cannot risk our secret identities being in the public domain but there may be some helmet cam action.
