Duck, that box mag is just asking to come out and play on the 27 Feb game.

Welcome to the Forum, home of quick wit and banter... and the odd bit of airsoft related trivia

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Game on

The binman load-out in Donkey jacket is more my 1970's Troubles or miners' strike look.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

5 hookers, you had better make sure that they are not rugby players before going off half cocked.

I am old school, for me true milsim is hand loading your BBs into a magazine

Count your BBs so that you know when your magazine is empty, or get a gun that has the bolt stop feature

It could be worth checking out Freeads.co.uk as it is the type of site where guns and airsoft kit can be sold away from the main airsoft forums.

I have posted the cheque to you, post dated for end of February. I left out all references to Turkey off the envelope just in case the Post Office think it is funding for Syria travel

Good point, it is always best to try on before buying to ensure the right fit to face. I was being tempted by the price reduction, and had read somewhere that Smith Optics made some good quality kit. The recent thread about BB injury to the eye due to getting under glasses raises a relevant issue.

I saw 'Midnight Express' and you do not want to end up in a Tukish prison.

Does anyone own or have experience with Smith Optics Aegis Arc Tactical Glasses? Edgar Brothers online have an offer on a pair £15. http://online.edgarbrothers.com/collections/ghost-sale/products/smith-optics-aegis-arc-tactical-glasses Are they any good for airsoft by offering enough ballistic protection from a BB? Do not want to buy a pair if they are not worth it.

I had a delivery glitch with my last UK Tactical order resulting in a 2 week delay. My parcel was delivered to the wrong address, another UK Tactical customer in London, luckily he was honest and using the dispatch note with the parcel phoned my mobile to let me know what had happened. Both Sue and Anne at UKT were very good at sorting out the delvery error and getting my order to the correct location, the delay was down to the carrier company not being able to collect the parcel. However, all worked out in the end and I cannot fault UKT's customer service. And the Pentagon Wolf jacket was worth waiting for.

I had already bought a pair of 5.11 Stryke storm trousers from Nightgear before I saw the Arc'teryx wolf ones in the sale. Bit of an impulse purchase but I have been going with a grey theme and they can be worn outside of airsoft (or at least that is my justification), apart from the balaclava
