What to members do to safely store their Mk5 cardboard pyro before a skirmish and any unused ones afterwards? Also, being cardboard what precautions do you need to keep it dry so that it works when used? I have a metal ammo tin which should keep them fairly secure in the garage but do not want them getting damp, so thought I could put some silicone gel bags in the tin to soak up any moisture.

If you want lightweight then you could also consider using a battle belt instead, it keeps you cooler than that plate carrier will. You have the mag pouches to the sides on your hips and then room to the rear for dump pouch, etc, depending on what type of pouches you choose. I use one and have no problems laying prone and changing mags, and like all kit it justs needs some practice to get familiar with positions of pouches and mag change drills. This is the same as mine at £50, although I used a discount code to get between 10 and 20% off - http://www.uktactical.com/p-8712-warrior-plb-belt-olive-drab.aspx Not sure if Ranger Green is darker than Olive Drab. This is an example of a fully filled belt - http://www.uktactical.com/p-10356-warrior-belt-mk1-utility-combo-olive-drab.aspx The Gunfighter belt is above your price point but I would say the best option if you go down the route of belts - http://www.uktactical.com/p-11541-gunfighter-belt-olivie-drab.aspx Anyway, more options for you if not actually answering your OP, and no sling point.

Radical idea, just use one hi-cap and controlled shots so there is no need to change the magazine. Makes you even lighter to run Less realistic but convenient.

Do you already have a plate carrier, battle belt, or chest rig, with molle? I use pistol mag pouches with molle to attach to my belt or chest rig. Have a look here for some ideas - http://www.uktactical.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=pistol I have the Double 9mm DA mag pouches and the Triple open 5.56mm mag with 3 pistol pouches. These are for standard pistols mags. Alternately use pockets in your clothing for spare mags and speed loader, or even a shoulder harness with mag pouches.

True, the Warrior ones are grippy for want of a better word, and it is easy enough to unvelcro the bungee cord from inside the pouch and remove it completely. I chose the bungee version for the added security.

One advantage of numbering / marking all of your mags is for identification if dropped or misplaced. It is not just another black AEG magazine but one you can describe and identify if handed in. Some players use coloured tape to ID mag weights or capacity, I find that the letter 'H' helps highlight the hi-cap one amidst the low/real-caps. Each of us have a method to our madness.

I have the Warrior bungee top mags, and like them for keeping the magazines securely in place, although you do need to set the bungee tension correctly otherwise the mags can drop out as I found on my first time out using one. But not as fast as those with "laced elastic shock cord which is threaded through the side of each pouch", I think these ones could be better - http://www.uktactical.com/c-695-warrior-quick-mags-fast-mag.aspx - fast mags with adjustable side tension.

One advantage of having a dog, let's call him 'Rif', who will bark at strangers approaching the house and wake up the family inside. As far as Rif is concerned, anyone invading his pack's den is an immediate threat and will be dealt with appropriate force regardless of their age, size, sex, or creed. Meanwhile, I shall be phoning the local Constabulary and getting some doggie treats ready.

On the box I can only read: 334 fps with [0.20g] 430 fps with 0.12g 1.1 Joule max! 60 yds, 55m 24 BBs 2.86 lb, 1300g [weight] One Google search shows - http://www.sportsmk.co.uk/cat/796/air-pistols/cybergun-air-pistols/ scroll down to reference SP280518 Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Sport (with SwissArms sight) SP288502 Sig Sauer P226 X-Five Open is Calibre 4.5mm STEEL BBS These are both are £139 new, so I suppose second-hand and in used condition would be £70?

I did not use full auto all morning and just kept the selector on semi-auto when using my rifle. But then I tend to play mainly in the single shots zones and keep out of the concourse.

Surprising considering the amount of time I spent crouched down or prone in the basement shadows. Although, at times you knew I was there and stopped other players standing on me

Maybe more expensive but worth having a look at (Warrior produce some good quality kit - but I am a fan, and use the discounts) http://www.uktactical.com/c-75-fastmag-pouches.aspx

UK Tactical are offering 20% off Claw Gear - the CIL breathable soft shell jacket and the Harpagus Hoody until Friday 22 January, Use discount code SOFTSHELL20 The Claw Gear Harpagus Soft Shell Hoody Solid Rock (grey) is £115.79 after discount. http://www.uktactical.com/p-11730-claw-gear-harpagus-soft-shell-hoody-solid-rock.aspx?utm_source=form-signups&utm_campaign=introductory-offer-on-new-clawgear-jackets&utm_medium=http---sendy-uktactical-com&[email protected]&sendy_campaign=Bg4lOWJLlEdrqz6G4ZKAKA

The other thing was "Power" gaming or similar, when some players in the second game had been going full auto for too long in the shops and not giving other players a chance to shout hit and get their hand up while still shooting them on full auto. Recomendation to fire a burst and pause not just keep finger on trigger, basically overkill. Edit: too slow typing

Bring back the death sentence, for top 5-10% of heinous criminals. Swift justice not waiting on death row for years either. Cuts down on overcrowding in prison freeing up cells, saves the tax payer, and most importantly the criminal never re-offends

I am the same, wearing clothing I like and is both comfortable and practical. I can also mix and match based on what suits the location and day. Wearing all shades of grey is a look but I would not consider it a load out per se. I often see things I like the look of and have to resist the temptation to buy it.

The Kryptek Typhon is a nice looking pattern.

I have paint mines and shotgun blanks rigged to tripwires in my back garden. If that neighbours bloody cat craps on my lawn again I will ...

Yes, definately keep them out of sight

Where did you order them from?

Yes, one is dangerous and the other spoils the day.

Well grey does match the highlights in my hair.

Three ways how your wfie / girlfriend / pet dog knows that you have been out all day playing airsoft: 1. Looking like a victim of chicken pox when coming home covered in BB welts. 2. Smelling like Billy Goat Gruff after a hard day fighting Bridge Trolls and needing an immediate shower. 3. Moving like an aged sloth due to over exertion and aching muscles after a days skirmishing.

Blind firing and non-hit taking - bloody good reasons for highlighting rules. Apparently someone was unashamedly 'cheating' and in presence of a marshall. Cannot recall any other details.

It did seem a day that the marshalls were not happy, I have not experienced such a group dressing down before. Safety is important as is sportsmanship, and people have been ejected on previous occasions. I did not see any infractions or experience and bad play; personally had a lot of friendly banter and hand shakes with other side after hits. Overall a good day out, even with the schoolboy error of forgetting to set my alarm clock properly and only just arriving prior to the briefing start.
