Playing with good kit Edit: maybe need one of those simple polls - What is most important to you? Playing Gear Collecting guns Undecided

Playing wins every time. However, between games it is too easy to look at kit and buy something. Or after playing think, I wonder if item A would improve my game. Edit: even though my grey Art'terxy trousers cost a ridiculous amount I still lay of the floor, crawl around, kneel in puddles, etc. I never think about trying to keep them clean or protected they are just a tool to be used.

I prefer the dressing up as opposed to naked airsoft I play airsoft because I enjoy shooting toy guns, the thrill of a firefight and the excitiment of sneaking around the other team. It is definately all about playing the game. I like to get stuck in, even if it means getting hit because I hate those corridor stand-offs and would rather get shot at if it means others can exploit my move or at least see where the opposition are shooting from. On my first skirmish I spent most of one game guarding an area that no-one was attacking and thought it a waste of my money to just wait when I could go out and find some action. The costume is secondary. I do not have a particular load-out or impression I am trying to copy. I do generally like to buy quality clothing, but then most of my gear can be used in normal life and not just for airsoft. I would not spend more on clothing than the gun, although my spending spree prior to xmas did equate to a new TM recoil but then I already have one so do not need another. I am not a gun collector. I have bought numerous items trying to get the right product or give myself options of what set-up to use. Sucker for those discount codes for Warrior kit. Chatting to other players in the safe zone is useful to ask about their guns and kit and exchange information. This forum is the same, I think it is good to swap stories, receive or provide advice whether technical or about other diverse matters. I play to have fun and that is what counts. Would love to play every week if I could. Play wins over buying guns and gear.

Remember "There's ALWAYS time for lubricant!" - Harry Block in Evolution (2001)

It does help to learn some of the layout, there are still parts of the basement that I cannot remember acurately and end up geographically challenged.

So I am looking for someone in MTP, that should narrow it down a bit I am hoping to be there as well but will not know for certain until a day or two before.

There have been several recent posts that have links to Tactical Kit, so it does have relevance.

I take it that he is okay and did not do too much damage. I have taken a mis-step and few times and fallen over but luckily no harm done except to my pride.

It does sound seem counter-intuitive; I would expect the difference in accuracy to be between supported and unsupported. The stable position v one where you have more strain/muscle fatigue/movement. Is your magazine resting on the ground when lying prone causing a possible rocking motion. Unless your eye relief and hold is different between positions.

Oh yes. Often need a burst of speed to cross an area or move to a shop/staircase ahead of the other team. I normally let the youngsters run off prefering a more steady pace, although an incoming stream of BBs is encouragment to haul arse. However, there are a lot of glass windows to avoid running into, and the C&A escalators can be very slippery.

Just do it, the sooner you go the sooner you can start playing. Many of us started out solo but make that initial effort and it is worth it. Most airsofters are friendly and will talk to you and 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. One key point - take your hits, regardless. And have fun.

OK, I will bite. What is LBX? A quick google search comes up with Japanese cardboard and plastic toy robots, are these going to be used as targets? No idea what LBT is, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual? Or are they something provided by Tactical Kit, if so some context and a link might help.

Very artisitc with the wet background, and hopefully they will not rust. A great collection.

Unless the TV companies get involved and we have quality multi-angle footage and slow-mo re-plays of the action. Although more likely It's a Knockout style than Match of the Day

The basement and service corridors can be a great place to move around and get behind people once you work out where to go. ImTriggerHappy taught me some of that at The Mall. Playing with just a pistol I had to keep moving as I was outgunned in a firefight so needed to be more stealthy. The surprise worked fairly well except lack of comms with others on the team so could not co-ordinate anything. Of course the other side was doingthe same and I was caught in the wrong place not checking behind me near respawn as well. Look forward to any more footage of the day because it means something to me, but like most things you needed to be there.

That looks about the right place if it was the last game of the day. I could not see myself in the darkness of the shop, we had a marshal standing inside with us. Nice to see some of the days filming though, it looks different on screen probably due to the camera having a clear field of view.

Back towards Zombie barricade end, central, and I think it was a bearded player who was trying to gain entry not realising we had come in the back.

So we were on the same team, we must have seen each other, I was one of only two players in all grey. During that game I was just using a pistol and I was down the C&A end coming up behind the Oranges in the service corridor. At one point myself and another player had just cleared a shop opposite Peacocks only to get fragged by a grenade thrown in through the front door by a Green.

Yes, you are correct, I just tried a search on HPA and it only gave about 8 results because the post had HPAs, etc. So the * is not a blank after all, and we are back to the original issue.

Now that we have the wildcard * (astericks) to fill in missing character(s) there should be no excuse not to find "mp5*" or "hpa*" Edit: initial enthusiam deflated on realising that this will not work for only 3 characters

Thanks Nutster. Using a wildcard, so 20th Century. Simple and it works Edit: As Proffrink has pointed out, this still does not allow a 3 character search

It was the first time that I have been on a winning side for most the games. I counted about 70 of us there so with less players there was definately more freedom of movement around the site and that made for some interesting play and much less corridor/stairwell camping.

It was a good day, seemed a friendly atmosphere today and I did not experience anyone not taking their hits. Possibly because it was less crowded. The Terminator was a pain as I was hosed down by him a few times, although he did light up one of the back stairs to help me safely return to respawn. Had the opportunity to say hello to SeniorSpaz87, Lafta and Hagar66. Did not get to meet anyone else who was there.

Could always start a new thread for "What are you being driven in?"

Sunday place booked and confirmed.
