  1. I did not pay any import duty, do not think the item value was high enough to incur charges, or the parcel listed a lower value. Cannot remember where they are based, assume it is Honkers or Singapore, region where most of our imports comes from. They had a deal posted on here offering some discount, and shipping was free if no insurance taken. Ordered 23 Sep and arrived 06 Oct, Airsoft Peak had tracking number for parcel. The helmet came in a plain box covered in yellow parcel tape with bubble wrap around the helmet, not pretty but did the job. Failing that, eBay can have them but need to make sure you do not get a crap china copy (look at photos of helmet interior, need the smaller removable inserts and not the solid one piece polystyrene type). They were about £35 with free P&P last time I looked at FMA maritime helmets. They should be adjustable.
  2. It is because you are a giant and your presence fills the room like Gulliver. Or you have only been playing in the ball pit and soft area on the balcony and not been around the rest of the site
  3. I bought one from Airsoft peak for $53, free P&P, back in late September.
  4. Yes, there is a shop in the basement near the safe zone. Will need to wear you eyepro to go to it. Cannot remember the name of the shop, seemed well stocked but was jam packed with queuing players when I had a quick look.. Recommend getting there early and into the shop first thing as it is packed come lunchtime. Some regulars can advise you better.
  5. So where do the Systema range of Professional Training Weapons (PTW) fit in? For example their MP5 variant PTW TW5 A4 M90 is about £900. Are they just the most realistic airsoft guns on the market but not necessarily the best?
  6. Golf is a game of skill, I always struggle with getting the ball past the windmill and over the bridge. I did use the WII console for training to help my long game.
  7. I am staying overnight and shall be attending the Sunday game. My weekend pass has been authorised by the Home General.
  8. Duck, that box mag is just asking to come out and play on the 27 Feb game.
  9. Welcome to the Forum, home of quick wit and banter... and the odd bit of airsoft related trivia
  10. I just get a tin of pineapple rings or chunks out of the cupboard. I like to keep a few in stock for those winter emergencies - needing garnish for a gammon steaks or filling in an upsidedown cake
  11. Try using the search function on 'glasses' and 'ballistic' and 'EN166'. Then do some Google research. I was looking at cheap glasses from Screwfix and similar and personally do not think they are the best option regarding safety but you have to make your own choice on risk and cost.
  12. It is a great opportunity and not to be missed. A chance for a good evening out with fellow forum members at a great site. Does not happen often, if at all, and someone else is doing most the work on our behalf.
  13. I had a great day, got to use my pistol and made a few good shots and also took a serious amount of BBs hits by just going forward and trying to clear a room. Getting hit is all a learning experience about how to do it better or not at all. Same way that having been knifed killed has made me buy my own knife. So light sabre duel it is.
  14. Buy cheap and pay twice. What seems like a good deal is not always what you get from my experience of using eBay, it is always preferable to try on something first when possible. All a balance really, as a pair of grey Craghoppers and hoody can do as well as high end kit for airsoft, although I will also use my clothing for other activities, PC gaming, driving to work, shopping trip to Waitrose
  15. Well Orange colour did suck, and it is much easier to ID orange than green so suits me fine. Bet you still get hit by some friendly fire though.
  16. The binman load-out in Donkey jacket is more my 1970's Troubles or miners' strike look.
  17. Barking and Dagenham are still Essex as far as I am concerned just as Middlesex still exits and Uxbridge is its county town. Welcome to the forum.
  18. They are slightly weird partly because the of extra reinforced material over the knees is a different colour to the main grey colour. They do give extra strength and protection without the kneepad inserts. Good quality material but the legs on size Large (36" waist) are very long on me and ideally I would need to be several inches taller for a better fit. However, size Medium are only 33" waist. No choice in inside leg measurements, i.e. 30R.
  19. Just realised that Edgar Brothers have grey kit on eBay, for example Drac trousers for £135 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arcteryx-Mens-Drac-Pant-Trousers-ARC-10713/291303019252?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D8d6de0abaa2c4b22bc46ad8140b62cd0%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D291572668014
  20. Very positive experience with recent purchase from Edgar Brothers Online. Website was simple to navigate and add items to basket, checkout was smooth, and email updates. The delivery was very quick, I ordered on Sunday 29 November and the parcel arrived on Tuesday 01 December and was well packed. Their monthly Ghost sale is very good value (if they have an item you want), and being the UK retailer for Arc'teryx makes it worth checking to see what is on offer.
  21. Probably not. I had a cheap china clone that was shot out on first use at The Mall, the glass was very thin but the LED unit was fine. Luckily I was able to replace the glass with an old cristal watch lens my brother-in-law had spare.
  22. 5 hookers, you had better make sure that they are not rugby players before going off half cocked.
  23. I am old school, for me true milsim is hand loading your BBs into a magazine
  24. Count your BBs so that you know when your magazine is empty, or get a gun that has the bolt stop feature
