Are most users on their phones? I only use the forum via a PC or ipad.

Protection of my teeth and lips is nearly as important as my eye protection. Found it rather painful getting shot on full auto at close range just above my mouth and across my nose; a properly fitting mesh mask is worth it. Whether you want to wear one or not is a matter of personal choice, I mainly play CQB so do not want split lips or dentist bills. I actually prefer wearing my Dye i4 mask.

I bought one from eBay that was so badly built and asymetrical so that you would need to be the elephant man to make it work. No doubt with pliers and inclination it could be cut and shaped to fit, but that is too much effort.

They do look a better quality than the usual crap from china. £30 better is a matter of opinion. Need a better range of colours though.

Protects the jewels and lets them breathe.

I feel cheated, not a Stormie in sight. Thought this was going to be Star Wars airsoft kit

Are you going to do a quick review of it? It is always useful to have player experience of sites.

How did you find the Absolute Airsoft site, marshals, and players? I have only read bad things about it. Have you tried The Mall yet?

But is it mint, nearly new, hardly used, just has a few skirmish scrathes

I actually like it as an objet d'art and could use it as a paperweight.

Concise and precise, and not a mofo in sight.

I wonder if you will get the short answer or long one from Sitting Duck?

UK Tactical have 20% off Clawgear kit until Monday 01 Feb, use code CLAW20. They also have 25% off Warrior, code WARRIOR25

Agreed on those not being useless but they may just be a little over the OP price limit.

Yep, tree hugging, green voting, vegetarian, members of team fluffy pink unicorns. We are just passively agressive, hail fellow, smiling assasins. Still we will shake hands after shooting you, and then take the piss

It will only be my third occasion playing this year. It shall be great having the forum meet and then a Sunday game as well.

I think it is open to us at 1800 hours, once the zombies from an earlier event there have been dispatched.

Have you thought about wearing a shoulder holster? A possible solution because it is worn over the jacket and may be more accessible if clear of the plate carrier.

Welcome Good to read that you have done some research about airsoft, the pinned threads are worth reading. This forum will be able to answer many questions although do expect some quick wit and banter along thre way. I can only answer question 2. Many of us started out playing solo, and still go to skirmishes alone. Make that initial effort to go on your own and it is worth it. Most airsofters are friendly and will talk to you, show you the ropes and talk about the game. Do not be intimitadated by their guns and kit just talk to them, we all started out as new players. The sooner you go the sooner you can start playing.

UCAP is not UKARA registered. You can get membership with them, £12 a year, and once you have your membership number send your UKARA paperwork to UCAP to get it stamped. Then send the completed UKARA paperwork off to a registered shop to be placed onto the database. The UCAP membership is your valid defence.

Sounds like Absolute Airsoft in Reading but better

Yes, getting the leg straps set right does make a difference, too loose and the holster flaps and too tight and it is like a tourniquet on the thigh muscle.

Welcome. As djben said, read all the pinned guides to get some useful information and basic knowledge. This link is a good place to start - http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/3779-the-beginners-guide-to-airsoft/
