Did the Halloween game at Gunman Tuddenham this weekend, it was a night game and wow, I don't think I have ever seen a company put more effort into an event, let alone for just a 3 hour event. 
 
Around 70 players on site for it. 
 
They had: 
A pre game story A pre game video An aliens style egg/nest room Multiple alien face huggers 2 Fully dressed up, masked up Predators with appriate props, spears, skulls and spinal cords etc 2 Fully dressed up Xenomorphs  A small (5 people I think) crew of space marines, with pulse rifles, those mounted machine guns things (not sure their real name), armour helmets, light over the shoulder etc.  Also they shouted out appropriate lines from the movies as they got stuck into contacts.   A set piece including the space marines unwelding a door with props A Predator hide/ritual room with "skinned" victims outside.  Pretty darn good hit taking for a night game.  Multiple prop signs Appropriate sound effects based on whether it was alien or predator.  Custom software interface to get mission objects (which failed on the night, but the effort!) A motion sensor scanner prop And during all of this they wove in 4 Objective based games which were thoroughly enjoyable all on their own. 
 
I'd strongly recommend checking out gunmans instagram to see images of what they did. 

1x Leupold LTO Tracker 2 HD thermal imager for the team;
 
1x 2002 Land Rover Discovery II
 
Definitely an airsoft purchase

Great day at Combat Airsoft Thetford today, was meant to be a battlesim but low numbers meant they changed it to a skirmish day. 
We felt the day ran really well, with far fewer stalemates and choke points than usual due to the low numbers. 
It was also great to see loads of rental players, especially quite a few who were airsofting for the first time. 
Finally got to field my NGRS A1 build as well which I’m really happy with 😁

Cracked on with the foam this afternoon .. didn’t consider that the bottom of the case isn’t flat sided so I’m having to chamfer the edges of it 😬

Loaded up my Plat Peacekeeper with 8 magazines, some Mk5’s and a speedloader - once I’d tightened up the straps (lost some weight) it sat really comfortably at didn’t slide around at all. Definitely worth the money and I’d happily recommend one to anybody. 
Was achieving first time hits with the A1 out to about 60m, and with a bit of elevation even some out to 75m. Really happy with the rifle, but having a 16” barrel it’s not ideal for CQB. I could just take the barrel extension off .. or sell the MK18 and replace with an MP5? 😂
Was thinking of building a battle belt for a couple of extra rifle magazine etc, but the one I’ve got just didn’t sit well with the chest rig so I’ll probably sack that plan off.

Wish you a speedy recovery 👍🏼 welcome to the forum 😄

I don't have my lpvo on it currently but here is my KS1

I know it's not new news but I'm an Arbroath laddie & worked with 45 Commando for a while at RM Condor.
 
 
p.s. This looks like it was filmed at Barry Buddon... another haunt of mine from my youf.

I like it when a plan comes together...finished results

TM P226R and two mags. Very giddy atm; pistols sure are cool. Not sure why I've put off buying one for so long.
 
Technically I should be using a P220 for my JGSDF loadout but there is a balance to be struck between impression accuracy and airsoft practicality. This is a fine middle ground.

Vibration of the GB can alter it.
 
Personally I'd choose an mp5 with slider hop-up like ICS, Cyma, G&G. Whichever is the cheapest and offers the most internally.

Is the hop-up based on the old Marui design? Don't touch it with a 10 foot barge pole. That lever thingy isn't gonna stay in place and can snap eventually.
 
For a bit more money ICS would be a better choice.

I've heard the same things, but I really don't want to be splashing out on Peltors, so we'll see. It'll be a little while til I can try them in a game sadly, but I'm hoping they'll be better than the in-ear and fist mic set-up they've replaced. 
 
@MrTeathe headsets are rated NR22, which, I believe, reduces noise to a 'safe' level, rather than blocking it completely. Sounds similar to the earbuds you have.  

Ah fair enough, I think I've heard that the quality isn't great and some have been known to fall apart. But like you say, which product doesn't have mixed reviews!
 
Ditto on the hearing front.. my only concern is losing the ability to hear what's going on around me so it would be interesting to know about how they are with ambient noise.

I think there's mixed reviews about everything 😂
 
Just testing them in the house (me in the kitchen, the lad upstairs) with Naofeng UV5-Rs, they work and the sound is clear from the mics and through the headset speakers. They seem well made, are comfortable and they look like theyll stand up to a BB hit or two, so that's good enough for me. What they'll be like in the field is a different matter of course.
 
My hearing is already shot, so the noise reduction is too little too late, but should reduce the 'what the fuck was that' moments when a tag round lands near you. 
 
Overall, first impressions decent but reserving judgement as always.
 
 

You could ask Car Shere's brother.
 

No comms, no bombs, right
 
**edit** forgot to say, I ordered these from the Earmor store. I put everything in my basket, then got distracted, went to do something else, and by the time I returned, they'd emailed me a 15% discount code, so, you know, save yourselves some money 🤙
 

If you'd like to drop me an email at [email protected], or a PM here then I'll have a word with one of our registrars who I believe has dealt with similar cases in the past 👍🏼

Think I did a pretty good job!
 
 

Impulse101 have them, although you'll almost certainly have to pay import duty on it.
