UK Tactical sell the Warrior covert plate carrier in black http://www.uktactical.com/p-11505-covert-plate-carrier-mk1-black.aspx for £85, although they currently have a 20% discount.

At least it would hide that horrible whine that many guns have, and for a milsim would give the game more realism. It is a very different experience to have contact with the enemy when using blank 5.56 rounds during training or exercise, gives better understanding to 'going loud'.

Missed the USD part. Even though NZD gives better exchange rate, it is still an expensive extra. The size is also a bit too large for my liking, no doubt necessary for the acoustic effect but I would prefer a smaller box to attach to a side rail if I bought one. Still a better idea than using a drone.

If it is 600 New Zealand Dollars [believe that they are a NZ company ?] then that makes the Ballistic Ordinance Sound System GS203-A1 approximately £276. But if US Dollars then £400+. It makes it a specialist piece of kit and unlikely to be for mainstream airsoft when many have guns worth much less. Edit: depends on UK retailer mark up, etc, how much the unit will actually cost. Ear protection could also be required.

Not really sure what you mean by raider, but a pirate patch will look menacing What looks better is subjective, but for eyepro I base it on what works best and offers real protection. I use a full face mask, Dye i4, and move just as quickly with on that as with goggles, and after a slight modification fits nicely under my black Fast helmet. Cannot advise on plate carriers (they add excess weight), but for really a minimal low drag load-out I just use the pockets in trousers and jacket for some skirmish games instead wearing a battle belt/assault vest/chest rig.

Not quite sure what you mean by "the best" pistol. Best is very subjective. For me that means a gas efficient and silent pistol, i.e. Tokyo Marui Mk23, which is perfect for stealthy CQB. Others may prefer the sound of a loud 'clack' and feel of a gas blow pistol, or just one that looks good, or is cheap. Alternately by best you could buy a TM Hi Capa 5.1 pistol that has been modified (upgraded) by Mike Cripps from the Elite Shooting Centre http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/ Maybe best is one that you find comfortable to hold based on hand size or compactness.

5. Throw away the 0.12g BBs, they are for non-airsoft toy BB guns. The lightest weight used is 0.20g BB, which most sites use as the standard for fps measurement. I started off using 0.20g BBs but get better range with my TM changed to slightly heavier ASG Blaster 0.25g BBs, found them to be a good weight and very cost effective. For example, Patrol Base sell a bottle of 3000 x 0.25g BB for £6.99 http://patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-bbs

Bit harsh. He may be a muppet but it is not the same as grooming and raping young girls like a Rochdale taxi driver or commiting acts of terrorism.

Two months back, as per my link to it above.

Yes! I am a real UK Tactical groupie. A real pity that I do not get commission, but it is good to share the discounts. Some of their offers are good value and the kit is quality, especially the Warrior Assault Systems.

There was a market research question in relation to drones in airsoft back in October http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/28663-market-resaerch-in-relation-to-education-drones-in-airsoft/ Which received a mixed reaction to the idea. Personally, a stupid idea.

UK Tactical http://www.uktactical.com have a 30% discount on all warrior Assault Systems kit for Boxing Day until midnight. Use code XMAS30

Merry Winter Festival and a happy and safe airsoft 2016.

Those of you who like the look of the Pentagon Wolf grey jacket, UK Tactical has them at 20% off for today, discount code WOLF20. So it will only cost £58.37. As an owner of this jacket I can recommend it; great for a grey load-out, well made, the two zipped pockets on front have an inner pouch for a pistol mag, the under arm ventilation is useful for keeping cool, and the high collar give good neck protection from BB hits

Welcome Airsoft is less of a contact hobby/sport but the odd injury does occur. I wear a Fast helmet in case I forget/cannot see what is around me, saving a few painful bumps.

Welcome to the forum

Another good reason to vote on leaving the EU.

Mods - Can we move this to the 'UK Law' section. Would make it more accessible and relevant than in the General Discussion melting pot. Good news for airsoft community if there is an Airsoft exemption written in law with clear explanation and guidelines.

If you are not already aware there is a large outdoor site near you, UCAP Sandpit, next to the Bluewater shopping centre. http://www.ucap.co.uk/ucap-airsoft-venues/ucap-sandpit-venue

bump

but does not fall down... oh, no that was Weebles. Not really sure what its purpose is either.

Welcome. You will not be the only over 40 on the forum or out enjoying skirmishes

Christmas tunes, it is that time of year to get festive

The A-TACS LE looked good in the photos but not very practical for that woodland, could work better in low light/darkness though.

If you pop out the thermal lens first it gives better access to the air vents at the of top of the mask and makes it easier to install the fans. Most important thing is to keep the wires tucked in (included cable ties help) and the fans as close to outer edge away from forehead. A single fan kit would be simpler to fit as there is just one fan to locate in the centre of mask, whereas two fans takes a little more effort. There is more space inside the mask for the fans but on top was ok; if you get a kit you will see what I mean.
