Agree that the Cold Steel ones have blunt ends and look much better. My M10 bayonet may be flexible rubber but it does have a sharp point. I purchased my bayonet after being at The Mall on one occasion where a game started with only melee weapons being allowed for a couple of minutes. No shooting just knives. After being knife killed a couple of times I thought it would be a good idea to get my own. Moving around with just a pistol and knife gives options and is quite good fun.

I use the Dye i4 mask and find it to be very good. There are several threads worth having a look at, search on the term 'fogging' http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/28885-dye-i4-mask/?hl=fogging

All the sites I have been to allow a hand-held rubber knife/bayonet to be used for a knife kill but none can be attached to the gun.

That should camo should be easier to locate, and will suit the dark areas well. Will see you at the briefing if not before. From personal experience, get to the chronograph early to beat the queue and then sort out your kit.

Booking confirmed so I shall be there. I will be wearing grey jacket/top and trousers, a balaclava, and FAST helmet with Typhon cover and green "AFUK", "Jedi Master", and pirate patches. Dye i4 mask, dark blue. HK 416 and Mk23 pistol.

Just had a look at the website and video for the Hex grenade. Looks pretty good and something else to add to this years kit list, unfortunately there are no orange ones in stock (a bright colour being easier to find). Let us all know how you get on with it.

When I was there on 03 December, a player on the same team threw 3 BFGs into one of the shops to clear it and all 3 failed to detonate. Not sure of the make/type of BFG used but I think the carpet and below the knee throw meant they did not impact correctly, resulting in damp squib of an attack. At least with cardboard pyro it will detonate no matter how it is thrown and they can be lobbed anywhere.

I found their website by chance and saw that Airsoft Action was going to be there but was working on that date so could not go. May have to get there in the late Spring / early Summer.

If you are getting UCAP membership, you may have to wait until next week to get the gun. Handed in my paperwork at the Bunker on a Wednesday and the membership card came in the post on the Saturday, without the membership number could not get my RIF from Combat South.

As replies above. No, being UKARA registered is not needed.

I also could not find anything about airsoft being at the show. It will be an opportunity to buy real steel parts/assessories and some retailers may offer a show discount.

Where and when is this being held?

Welcome . Have a look at this link http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/1254-popular-ukara-questions/. It will answer some of your questions. No licence required (no such thing for airsoft), what you need is a valid defence to show that your are a regular skirmisher. Best way is via site membership - play 3 games in no less than two months and within a year at the same site. Once you have site membership you can be registered onto the UK Airsoft Retailer Association (UKARA) database if you want to, although not all players are on UKARA. You do not have to be UKARA to buy a RIF but it will be necessary/worthwhile if buying guns from abroad. Anyone can buy the accessories, i.e. sights, without a defence.

On PC the sites are shown just below the Combat South title.On ipad, Top left is a menu button (3 lines icon), click that and you get a drop down menu to select the differnt sites and info. Not found the site rules, this is from a game day last summer: ALL Airsoft weapons must conform to the site FPS limits: 328fps+7% with a 0.2g BB for AEGs and 400 fps for single action rifles.

A great musican departed, grew up to listening to his music. RIP

I have just looked at their website. Seems very basic and did not give me much confidence in them. Only had an email contact, no info about the retailer. I looked at a couple of pistols they were selling and there were little product detail, no mention of fps, etc. Personally I did not get a good feeling about it. Used Google, one search at Scammer.com http://www.scamner.com/check/adventairsoft.co.uk gave it 0% and did not recommend browsing or buying from the site: Information about this website This website doesn't own an SSL Certificate, your data might be compromised.

And that is a key point - honesty, integrity and playing a fair game. Discussing hit taking is going off topic but it is fundamental to the game. I think nothing ruins a day more than poor sportmanship.

I love my Mk23. Quite enjoy playing games with just the pistol, it adds a different dimension to a skirmish game, and the silent shots in the dark are fun.

What camo pattern would your onesy be? lol

Yes

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.

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.
