'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!

yeah i got that email, Police to have a word with local youths as well... Spoke to a guy at Urban, the old RAF base has basically had anything of value stolen, worry is it makes it dangerous for people at times as your not always aware of what isn't under foot that may have been there a few weeks before, as i saw a guy slip down a hole where a small hydrant cover used to be, and that was my first game, kinda makes you have your wits about you when running around at times i guess Should think RIFT Cottenham should be fine, its got a few house near by and doesn't have any red diesel on site...i think!

welcome, seems you on a similar path to me with your next game and UKARA etc! a great place to ask a question whether its really stupid or actually cryptic, it will always cause a great debate! from what ive read in the last month, the CM16 Raider seems to best first choice for us newbs although having a look on Zeros site last night for prices on bits (i have to plan these things with wife and children!) i took a liking to this...and has stuff im still reading up on or is new to me but means i won have to add it later and mess it up?.... http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=4419 of course when the time comes i'll ask here on peoples opinions as they are a great bunch and know what they are talking about and may change my mind anyway right im off to buy some padded pants ......its in another topic!

ooooh I like this topic!.....not got around to all areas yet, I get too distracted. Have others posted similar posts! had a look on the site, seems a good deal as well for the GC16....similar to what im aiming for like the links, very helpful for the *busy many at work * busy as in browse most of the time and read up while waiting for work

shooters cut or normal one Spatch? got another order from UKT...damn discounts!!.....just some small bits, grimlocks and web dominators

haha, not stressing, can see myself turning up in a suit or armour a this rate!...... * ping *ping clunk have wondered the 'what if shot there on a Saturday, my evening wont be as fun' haha

so now i need padded pants and top! haha ok, slight change to look.....

i hear ya! Ive learnt that from this forum that the underlining factor is 'its all about having fun, meeting new friends etc', some people you'll get on with, some you wont.....end of the day, its a little bb your firing at someone who may be wearing pink camo or the most upto date multimtpcamogromcam-fg....but still sticks out like a sore thumb!...because most of us are there for the enjoyment not trying to blend into a brcikwall!

on the topics of helmets and you guys who use them, and to save me starting a new topic after searching! (feel free to split mods if required) 8fields helmets here, any good,, ok cheaper than some but look ok...for my use http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-head-protection/8fields-tactical-fast-helmet-w-velcro-top-panels-tan.htm#.VcrzKvlVhBc ok they have other options on site.... BUT are these add ons here likely to fit or are they geared more towards Emersongear helmets? like the idea of removing bits, especially the ear side panels...its all about customisation http://hwairsoft.com/airsoft-ops-core-mich-af-tactical-helmet-front-guard-protector-tan-sand-cb-uk/ http://hwairsoft.com/airsoft-ops-core-tactical-helmet-tan-sand-de-mich-blt-jump-side-panels-uk-rail/ advice from you guys is proving invaluable!

haha, cheers, im assuming its slightly different shades to Multicam but has rounded edges as well unlike MTP l quiet day at work for me
