wondered that, just a cheap one from sports direct, sounds too easy, wasn't sure is anything to look out for? or avoid? eyes and teeth, wanna keep them

i know, full face masks are good.... but a lot of you just wear glasses....and we have goggle fogging etc.... so for you that dont protect your face as much as you prefer glasses for the comfort, do you use a mouth guard??, if so, any particular ones? only ask as at the moment i have the lower face\ear pro and mesh goggles but finding in a bit un-comfy on the nose so looking at alternatives like glasses and just lower face mask or goggles etc also the face guard you fit to the FMA/Viper/Emerson helmets ive seen look to aid in deflecting bb's....but then worried i WILL get hit in the mouth, its the law of the sod!!, but i could then wear glasses and not have the fogging and nose comfort issue??.... mmm decisions!

planning on using Tuddenham as my regular site soon as there are sunday games!. Plus they have a loyalty scheme and other bits that help out had a good chat with someone whose name ive forgotten and cant access the email, and has sold it to me really like the idea of the fun milsim type events they also hold

email the guys here enquiries 'AT 'gunmanairsoft.co.uk i was worried about that as well, but its not as serious as you think, they have a medic game and also ask you to bring some other items of cloths so you can swap teams but other than that sounds pretty much like fun! This is a reply i got back when i asked a few questions.... Our open milsim weekends are designed as an introduction to milsim, rather than a full on one. As such, hire guns, two tone guns and hi-cap magazines are welcome, all we ask is that you try and role-play a bit (shouting "aaargh!" instead of hit etc and be a bit more tactical in the way you play, as well as trigger discipline (short controlled bursts or single shots rather than spray and pray). We also try if possible to use camo for team ID instead of tape or armbands. This does require that people are flexible in what they wear, although if it's a problem we do revert to tape. So im in

im planning that one in november if the wife says yes

too much from Firesupport.....but worth it in the long run..... how many days until 17th October!!?

Tuddenham is here, i would't class it as Thetford as i think there is a site there called Combat paintball??.....or i could be getting my wires crossed! https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/gunman/@52.3085187,0.5630769,13.5z

will do, they run Sundays which is ideal for me and only 30mins away

UA is 328 and its classed as CQB, im looking at the ICS CXP UK1 as i like the idea of easy swap parts......just no one at time of posting i have found has the upper parts in stock...yet! Then id only need one to take it to 350 for the other sites i plan to go to....and swap out as needed. 300 sounds nice but i guess that's only ideal for indoor only sites???

i think a sticky, if not already, topic for goggles would be good with a few comments, i for one am looking at swapping mesh for goggles/glasses but not 100% sure what as want to keep my teeth but also protect my face... maybe a topc with make of eye pro, good and bad, recommended anti fogging device (spray, wipe etc) ok may not be ideal for all but will help us out eventually, even if the topic creator can update the first post each time?....cutting out OT stuff! any, like the look of the glasses that wrap around a bit more

aaarh so your part of Tuddenham....planning a milsimy type trip there soon

welcome, Bug is one that's very very hard if not impossible to remove! im about to get my first AEG, and believe me i have asked, researched, asked again and probably annoyed a few on here with questions....and still do but the place is full of experienced personnel who have been in the same boat so have invaluable advice If you can try others out first, do so, if you can get to a shop, even better, i popped to Firesupport and my ideas of what i wanted were changed once i held a few other models and makes. If you have a set budget that can also help as it will limit your options away from the higher spec guns.... if you want to borrow my son for your shop trip you may end up buying a SAW or a Garand as your first!! haha so does the £300 include the batteries, charger, extra mags and other bits etc or have you got a budget for that as well?

cheers Mr D, you do give some great opinions to a difficult subject! luckily I have time right google time while kids are out with wife!

yeah I have been 'restrained' on looking for pimp ideas but have them, trust me....of course need some mags just to fill those WAS pouches I bought!...haha yeah that xcortech is nice, that will come, and only 40mins drive so can drop off for fitting if needed son has said it has to be tan now, at least he has an idea of the range im looking at at not the SAW!

welcome! yeah don't worry about the terminology, go read my first few 120 (at time of post) posts sure I still get it wrong.... take your time, if in doubt ask away, we'll all reply in some form or another.....and go off topic.....im off to hide in a BUSH....there you go guys!....again not sure lightning strikes twice on here?

cheers guys, bit of time still but will need to be from FS due to being allowed it on my 3rd game to use (as long as they charge the batteries!)!, few others to look at in G&G and other brands, plus whether to get plastic or metal receiver...cxp-hog ive seen in the magazine they gave me.... yeah im sure I asked but not on at the shop today, maybe they have them else where?, still a few others in the other range in Tan/bronze on show and very nice in the flesh, at least black I can touch up the paint! just got to decide if spend a little less or add it to credit card, depends on difference between the choice and keep it quiet and get more clubcard points**!!...at least I wont need to get another for a while... mags though, just get a few more 300rd ones?, not sure I use more than hire gun mag and a half on first game and more about a mag for other half game...im not one for letting loose.... maybe get some small capacity ones?..... still like the G&G ETU one with 3 rnnd burst on zeroone but need the UKARA first! keep up the advice ** she can then double them and get a new dyson.....win win!

anyone want to borrow my son to help clear up bb's, let me know, he had fun in the firesupport shop picking them up!.... Harry - daddy, can I keep these? me - Yes, but I have a few thousand still left from my last 2 games Harry - Has mummy seen your bb's me - nearly crashed car with laughter!

...... except trying not to ground the car on the road and my son telling me I needed the SAW and other support weapons oh and the garand haha.... I seem to like the ICS CXP-UK1 to be honest, felt nice in my arms, looked good and not to heavy.....no Tan in at time but black was nice.... held a few others as well as a G&G for weight, ok a little lighter but the rails were 'plastic' and put me off slightly.... ICS felt gooooooooooood...... so tempted by it, with extra mags, front grip, charger and 2 li-pos for around £300.... is that to much for a first AEG, considering its gonna be used min once a month or should I drop lower, its not that im gonna give up but feel this price would be better now than say 3 or 6 months time when I want to upgrade?.... ICS-160 CXP-08 was nice, as well as was the SCAR I saw and the CXP-15, CXP-16s... Tan colour is nice, more bronze rails/front grip but more of a tan on the receiver....35/40m range? didn't get to hold any M16s but that could be a sniper type mod to get me closer to hitting someone! haha roll on 17th October!

im slightly shorter but 46ish chest and little bigger wasit.....yeah I need to diet! WAS 901 chest rig is ideal!.....I blame a few on here as well and some one from raptorsairsoft, especially the star wars one who I wont name haha!..... but It really is an excellent bit of kit. Can say anything about the condor ones, but I couldn't be happier with my 901, and so many options, I also have the back plate for my water carrier!.....which will have hot chocolate in soon as ive yet to use it!

yeah off there later today....infact 2 hours from posting this! few ideas but for mainly CQB sites, I've kinda ruled out the M16, to long unless its for the long shots!....wanted that back in the early days with a 203 underneath....for some reason!

Haha wife sitting next to me when I read them two posts... Had to walk away!!! Ok mp5 range as well, one I liked back in the early 00's

Have a list, G33 I think was on it, just gotta keep my 6 yr old amused while I'm there dribbling. Like to feel the weight as well of a few Anything else in the no more than £250 range but with front rails at least??

Cheers guys, I'm not gonna fall into that trap!, Just fancied one based on M4 to carry around, I'll have a chat tomorrow and see if they can enhance my selection for me and help with my tinckering! Haha To be honest, I prefer running and clearing rooms than sleeping in a bush!
