    I mean, really, the best quality ones are Geoffs.
    But .30g were about £14-16 a bag if I remember correctly.

    I subscribed to AA for year when first began airsoft, trying to soak up information, but with niche hobbies, there was not that much content to make it worth renewing subs.

    djben9 reacted to L3wisD in Is it better to buy from Fire Support instead of Taiwan Gun, if price isn't an issue?   
    If there isn't a huge saving by going to TG, absolutely use Firesupport.
     
    Quicker deliver. Quicker (and more coherent) response to any issues.
    Easier to return if needed.
    And supporting one of the UKs oldest Airsoft businesses.

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

    I was going to write an awfully long post ranting about my former roommates not paying the rent on time, but I was getting too tilted (at one point I was about to cry) while typing.

    Yep, same reason to maintain your nightvision when you look outside of cockpits.

    Red is also the colour that fades first underwater.
    When I dive and go past 15/16 metres of depth all the red coloured thingies like corals and starfishes become grey-ish until i shine a torch on them.

    I guess it's because of wavelenght or some physical theory I can't be arsed to research.
    But basically red light doesn't "go very far", let's you see what's directly in front of you (1/22 metres tops) and because of that, people further away won't be able to see anything but the source itself (LED or light bulb). really useful for night games if you can't afford a £2k NVG set.
    I use red lights when camping for when I still want to retain my mk1 eyeball "night vision sight" but at the same time be able to read a map or look what I'm stepping on.
     
     
    So,
    TL;DR
    to be able to see and still remain somewhat stealthy

    djben9 reacted to L3wisD in when would you use a 'red light' in a tactical situation?, curious after catching up   
    The best way to describe it is that the light "dies" a lot sooner than white light.
     
    So a red torch will help you see the immediate area, but won't illuminate around the corner and down the corridor to tell potential enemies where you are.
     
    Same thing with my green torch, but green is a bit brighter than red.
     
    (I might be wrong!)

    Yes mate I went down, was great to see such a decent turn out.
     
    I'm proud to say I worked on the entire shop re-fit and built everything you see apart from the glass cabinets Dave bought. 
     
    That coke machine took about 4 days of solid work between me and one of the other lads! 
     
    Obviously I do, but my boss also loves airsoft and we knew Dave before he moved into his new unit. So we were really chuffed working on a project so heavily associated with our hobby!

    Mixed feelings. Will write a site review up later for it. For a once or twice a year site great. But for a regular cqb fix I would use battlestations at snetterton.

    djben9 reacted to Rogerborg in Zero In has been hacked... So I'm doing my part:   
    Huh, I'd forgotten about ZeroIn.
     
    Whatever's happened, it seems to be back up and much snappier now.
     
    Which probably means it's been rehosted on a Raspberry Pi in Russia and is harvesting all our datums.

We've also hired a mini bus for the weekend to get around in. I'll post photos up on a thread when I get back. 8 week countdown begins!
