could be, wish there was a shop nearby to try on, im sure it will be fine, i like the tight fitting on the fingers, sort of hugging as it allows a better touchy feely type thing....ok i'll stop there! just curious how others get on dont worry, 2 weeks time it will be first AEG and battery suggestions.....Raider a mo.....or G36....

guys, quick one,....bit of a silly question really! I have some Viper gloves, just general ones but fit ok, cant complain, in XL ive just got some Mechanix M-pact gloves. Used the size chart online to be sure etc., came up as XL Now they fit fine on the fingers, feel 'tight' not lose around fingers which is good i guess for better feel of things but top of thumb seems to be floppy Not sure if i should send them back for a size bigger or smaller size, as in should the thumb be a better fit? don't want to keep posting back and fourth tbh if i can help it Do other makes come up like this with some people or is it just the cut of glove, hands etc and not worth worrying about p.s i do expect the stretch thumb, cut thumb type answers!!! haha

cheers Deek, that's one excellent reply and has also helped me understand it more, thanks for your time to write it!

cheers guys, great replies! i'll let the old man know!

Not that it will matter soon to me anyway but...... When UKARA / VCRA laws were born in the days, was there a reason why anyone who owns a shotgun or has a shotgun/firearms certificate (i believe they are becoming one now?) that is vetted by the Police, was not allowed to own a RIF as one of the exceptions? My dad was more curious when i told him about it, as i myself, and i guess others, have a certificate Seems odd that i can buy shotgun cartridges and a new shot gun for clay pigeon shooting easier than a RIF Like i said, im not to worried, but more curious when he mentioned it (im not fully clued up on the law and only know the very very basics!)

Dont worry when i first read it i got confused with the length for 3 games, people told me 'different ' things until i actually asked the marshall at UA. 1st game for me was 11th July so my 3rd has to be after 11th Sep, so by 3rd october i should have it! After that i'll sort it out and pop between a few sites as i have been told by the boss sundays are a better day to shoot people (a little annoying as the UA games are sat! )

nice buys! my time will come!....wife seems to be warming to more sunday games instead on Saturdays....result! for me, some more gloves, nothing special.....roll on October!...don't fancy a blinged up blue gun ....I can wait!

yeah i have an old mac thing you roll up and pack...or a mackapacka!...funny enough its in mulitcamogramtp style, got it in 2006 i think, only thing is you do sweat in it.....

its been a bit wet recently and last game i played it was very hot.... as ive yet to play over the autumn/winter months, hoping mid sep will be warm and dry!! what do you guys do when its raining, cold etc? MTP smock ok?? Do you get to hot with the various items of clothing/protection on? anyone go for Gortex and sweat it out?! I spoke to a guy who plays at Tuddenham, he just wears a t-shirt, ubacs and vest as he gets hot running around? curious what the regulars do?

welcome to the forum, Ask away, you'll get good answers and bad answers, answers you want to hear and some you don't!, a little bit of off topic for a few posts!!, but its all harmless fun! first AEG, well seems to me the G&G Raider is the preferred starter gun and you can add to it, which is on my list with a few others anyway like the G36,, i'll ask the questions when the times comes as the batteries and charger bit is now what im trying to understand more! eye pro, don't skimp, but again a big selection as is full/half/some face protection all come down to what your comfy with and if you want your teeth a few hours later! I have the V2 half face/ear protection and nuprol mesh goggles.....next person may only wear ballistic glasses...

'Most important is that my wife does not know just how much I have spent on airsoft to date' - yeah that's why my 901 chest rig and other items were £40 from a place on amazon with a voucher used!.....haha i'll keep your secret safe!

haha, I could have added some stuff for you!

keep us posted......i'll have to go through this later in the year! haha

saw a guy on youtube who was fitting lower mesh/goggles to his helmet , the strap for adjustment was a twist one like cycle helmets, any idea what make?, I take it all the copies around £30 dont have this?, all Ive seen so far is loads of padding on the inside.....my head is around L on cap/boonies so I think 7 1/2? so when the time comes for one to be purchased, like to have a bit more of a heads up!......no pun intended! haha

how do I fit it all in...well I looked into it many years ago, some on here prob in nappies then! haha.... until July this year I hadn't been to a game, now im counting down...3 weeks now...until my 2nd game ive always been interested and read forums over the last year, I just wish I had got to a game sooner! now I have 2 children and married with house stuff to do etc., kids to entertain etc, with wifey going back to work one day a week, as long as I tell her, she'll let me go, so im looking at atleast once every 4 to 6 weeks!, full or half day games depending....

just had a read of the xcortech, pretty impressive

like these topics, ideas for when it happens! looked at the JG G36c on patrol base, so comes with a battery?, is it a cr@p one?, also, does it have much rail mounting for tac light? mmmm....maybe this could be my first as well as woodland games are my other option....although still like the new G&G with mosfet but wait until a few reviews/uses by people?

oh well didnt last long.....i got some gloves while i had a voucher! haha

holding off any more UKT stuff, although a few mag pouches are tempting! haha just got a years subscription to AI yesterday and 2 issues arrived to day, with some freebies! oh and some SFU shorts in Black and Coyote plus 2 Camogrom baseball caps

well done, one of the most stressful times in life....with marriage and kids i think... Did you get an armoury room included?

thanks for the updates, plenty to review and spend!....wifes gonna kill me!

cheers guys, yeah sorry for the lack of info. given, i apologise for that At the moment just looking into Atacs LE style or Muticam Black, i know flectarn do some of the LE stuff so really just considering the costs involved from the US but apart from LApolicegear i was told about, wanted to know if anyone has any other sites they have used with no problems? generally to start off just trousers, shirt or UBAC type shirt, and a hat (boonie or cap) in the various styles but would look at more as time goes on, so i guess overall looking at a few hundred $ to get it at once sorry may be a bit of a vague querie! thanks for the link proffrink, i'll check it out

Hi guys, Didn't come across anything yet on here, so apologies if I've missed it..... Generally I use the local surplus shop for British stuff and Military 1st, Flectarn, UkmcPro and SOF for others so far Anyone an recommendations for other sites and any abroad they have dealt with I could look into?, any good US ones? thanks in advance (wondering now if I should have posted this in Places to buy?)

very nice, ive been toying with the idea of black set up, I like the ATACS-Le stuff but still browsing and this is a great alternative!
