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.

UK Tactical have 15% off Snugpak jackets with code SNUG15, http://www.uktactical.com/c-66-snugpak-root.aspx?utm_source=form-signups&utm_campaign=----5-snugpaks-snuggling----&utm_medium=http---sendy-uktactical-com&[email protected]&sendy_campaign=jnp56cHmEP48xxD6fMUW9w 15% off Warrior kit with code WARRIOR15, and 10% off everything else with code EVERYTHING10.

The value is in the pretty colours flashing through the air in a low-light or dark environment I have only seen them used during indoor CQB. They are useful for marking where targets are located, and you can often see the tracer BBs bounce off players so you know they they are in range and have been hit (even if the player does not). Conversely they do give away you position.

Having looked at the Max Fuchs website, they appear to be a wholesale supplier of genuine army surplus and not some crap china clones. So could be worth a punt.

Cold Steel make some good quality knives but not all sites will allow you to use them, I bought a cheap rubber flexible M10 bayonet from eBay (£14 inc P&P) that came with a sheath. Main problem with the knife/bayonet is having somewhere to put / attach it and so that it is readily to hand. I did try putting it in my pocket the other day with the handle under my jacket to keep it in place but it does look a little odd and leads players to ask "is that a bayonet in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?", also not very comfortable. Some people just stick them through their webbing straps and have some cord tied/taped on the end to stop the knife dropping and getting lost.

How much performance benefit is there in installing the Spectre mosfet? Is there much noticeable difference in trigger response and rate of fire with the recoil? I was tempted to buy one when Fire Support had them in stock but resisted the impulse.

1. Yes, the mask can fog up when wearing the helmet indoors/underground without fans. My raison d'etre for buying and fitting the fans to the Dye i4. 2. Yes, providing the front helmet pad is removable. I have no knowledge of that particular type but they look as if they have Velcro backing and can be taken out. On eBay, a maritime helmet similar to this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FMA-maritime-tactical-protective-military-helmet-abs-black-for-airsoft-paintball-/301785605038 3. No, I have not seen that particular fan kit before. Mine is from eBay, FANZ quick disconnect double fan kit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111412822077?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 (Edit: cannot get this link to work) for about £33 (inc P&P) or look at their Canadian website http://www.fanzkit.com
