  1. was that a black friday deal for me, just a load of CR123 batteries.... see how long they last before i just go back to surefire ones for 4 times the price!
  2. After the tragic events yesterday, where 2 innocent people lost their lives, one of them was from my village

      Saw it on the news.

       

      So sad to see stuff like this happen.

  3. is there anything similar in the UK to the SureFire sidekick (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Surefire-Sidekick-Ultra-Compact-Variable-Output-Flashlight/dp/B0177H4S5Q/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=surefire&qid=1575133802&refinements=p_89%3ASurefire&rnid=1632651031&sr=8-16)
    , wife needs a bright but small torch for 'safety' when walking home from work, seems ok, cheaper in US, is it worth ordering from there?, is customs a bitch?....some uk retailers are asking for £100 when US is $20 ish on some sites https://www.surefire.com/sidekick.html............ sorry in a rush as getting moaned at! :lol:

      Well this discussion has me wanting one of those Nebo Mycros now.  I have one of their Big Larrys and it's a great light.

  4. that feeling when you 'should' have got the AEG the day before when only 2 were left only to do it today as busy to find they are OOS...!!

     

    oh well, more annoying but maybe wasnt to be!

      Lesson to be learned. Don't hesitate. Buy instantly, short period of remorse, long time enjoyment.

  5. Any one used or have an ICS Mx5?. Do you know what other branded mid caps would work ok....? also above if you missed it!! ^^^
  6. ***Email notifications may be working....i just got one!***

  7. i remember asking this before, but with new members, it might be a different outcome now.... if you were going to buy some CR123 type batteries in bulk, what brand would you go for?, (not Surefire, as are expensive but i know will probably last longer.....) any of these any good? https://www.buyabattery.co.uk/10-x-panasonic-cr123a-lithium-batteries-3v-cr123.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlsfo4uSK5gIVx7YYCh2eigYDEAQYASABEgL4c_D_BwE https://www.batterystation.co.uk/search.php?search_query=123&section=product bit wary tbh as have used surefire before as well As Niton999 brand....but not going to be used heavily anyway just for a few torches i have at home / car that could do with being used really
  8. when would you use a 'red light' in a tactical situation?, curious after catching up with Chicago PD and saw they used them a few times after entering a building and searching....

      ive got some filters for my old surefire 6p, also the 4 colour LED lenser (white/red/green/blue), they all have uses, curious as that was the first time ive seen them 'in use' and was on a few episodes...wasnt sure why it was used n an tactical type way :)

      they use red lights in most aircraft if you look in films.... :)

  10. is that the one they call 'A310 – Rainsheild Coat'? ive got a Helikon windrunner, just for the walk from station to office and back but not great for heavy downpour!
  11. yeah i did the same this time last year....gotta love those Mil 1st discounts! this time round, trousers and a laptop bag
  12. They are very nice jackets (got mine from mil first with a discount code!), i have one in black, just have to spray it with nikwax every so often to keep it 'proofed'.....dont think i could spend £90+ for jacket for airsoft though, id worry id rip it!..... then the wife would kill me!
  13. nothing much for me thats exciting, just a pair of trousers and a laptop bag
  14. As Sawyers status, beware, Janet's friend is still lurking in the midst trying to scam you out of your goods.........

     

  15. Slings. Is it worth speeding the money?, do the cheaper ones break easily compared to the known brands ? My warrior single point sling, the clip is lose but i cant get it again in black as always OOS so just wondering....should i or shouldn't i go for a cheaper alternative?? my brother has a cheap one and has never had any issues, are we just drawn to the pricey ones...?
  16. bit of Pencott Greenzone.... just watching and let your brother do the work..... legs are there somewhere.... not sure why they didn't take morning pics but in full pencott wildwood they may not have seen me....

      Do you have an AEG, or will you be renting one?

       

      GBB pistols are great fun, and effective in CQB, but not so much cop in woodland.
