But you made sure it was clear first … right? ?

Sorry to hear it! Never made it down but hopefully will the next one!

So depending on how heavy the rain is, the S95 jacket will keep you dry to a degree but I’d say they’re more weather- than water-proof. I imagine that if you’re running about then you’ll be warm enough with just the base layer under. If it’s gonna be heavy rain and you’ll have periods of not moving about much then it’ll probably be worth picking up a cheap cagoule in a ‘tactical’ colour ?

Yeah I’m really happy with my chest rig and belt combo. However, I’m off to UCAP Vendetta in a few weeks and am thinking about dusting off the plate carrier as I think it’ll be a bit more effective in the close quarters environment where there’s less kneeling down and crawling about. I can comfortably run 3-4 magazines on the front of it, and will probably just Chuck the remaining 2 on my belt.

What more do you need?! ?

I’ve gone full circle, can’t underestimate how effective it is. Can easily carry 6 magazines, radio and bangs. Then just my Glock 19 and magazines on my belt.

Had an absolute top day at Longmoor on Sunday with the boys. It was great to get back to such a fun site, and we managed to get in some sneaky woodland ambushes and building to building fighting. We did feel by mid afternoon that the opposing team were starting to throw the towel in a bit, which was odd because we were fairly outnumbered and I had assumed we would be the ones to get steam rolled ? It was the first time two of the guys on my team were having to use mid caps but I think it’s fair to say they enjoyed it!

Longmoor today with Legion Airsoft. Ran with the Mk18 recoil and Arktis chest rig again, the fleece came off when it warmed up and I was busy trying to work both squad and team level comms ? Spot on day though, and I’ll try and get a review together.

Be really interested to see the justification behind the asking price there ?

TM Recoil? Might be around the £500 mark ish!

If you’re still interested and/or local, I’ve just seen that ‘Spartan Survival’ are running some kind of course at Humber Airsoft on the 27th of November for £50.

https://www.airsoft-milsim-supplies.co.uk/ Ordered exactly that from here on Tuesday, arrived Thursday!

Had an absolutely spot on day with the lads down at Combat Airsoft in Thetford. Rain held out until we were nearly finished, no gun issues apart for one of the guys getting a dead battery, and got to use a fair whack of the site. One isolated incident where someone popped into the bunker with three of us and shouted ‘surrender’ and then moaned when I shot him but other than that no gameplay issues to speak of. Can’t recommend the site enough if you’re within distance, not had a bad day there ever!

Finally got to run my new loadout today! Mk18 performed phenomenally, was picking off people that before I wouldn’t even have bothered at and didn’t use nearly half as much ammo as I thought I would!

In the true words of Ice Cube the warrior poet himself.

RIFT have a few good sites and a good crowd of players too!

You’ve got a few sites around you afaik, Finmere the West of MK, AWA in Sawbridgeworth, Apocalypse in Royston, and there are probably others ? Go along as a rental and see if it’s your thing, and then take it from there!

Well, packed up a nice lightweight loadout with the intention of getting a game in today after a night of getting some sleep at work…. To then spend the whole night running around the M25 because everyone and their mothers/daughters/fish were breaking down ? Whats the saying? Best laid plans … ?

I’ve gone full circle, simple kit —> all the kit —> simple kit! No messing about, just a rifle, magazines and some bangs! Cheap(ish) and cheerful!

This is my planned loadout for Sunday. Nice and simple, Arktis chest rig with my magazines, Safariland for the Glock. Will be the first run out of my NGRS Mk18 too! Only things I might add are some belt mounted pistol pouches and an LBX sling if it arrives in time.

Make sure if you cut the inner barrel you either buy a new correct length one, or crown the cut down one with the correct tool; otherwise your BB’s will he be randomly deflected about by the end. I did it on a rifle and took me ages to work out what was wrong ?

You mean expensive guns don’t make me good at Airsoft ☹️

It’s up for £550 now ?
