I've got a full face mask with fans and lights I'm going to be selling after the weekend (only been used once). Its Green/olive and branded as 'Pro goggle'. Happy to send you a picture if you're interested? Worked a treat for me when I used it, instant 'demisting' once I put the fans on. Didn't need them on all the time either. Let me know if you're interested

Well the vest arrived yesterday and I can happily say, it fits and was a bargain Not Molle but Velcro and press stud fittings. Also came with 3 extra pouches tucked away in one of the static pouches 9which was a nice surprise). Just need to buy 'stuff' to fill it up lol

Emails received, delivery is Monday 7th Will post piccies once my 'toys' arrive

LOL, not that big unfortunately but as you say for £4 its a start

Oh dear, won't be getting one of those then....G36 mags it is. Found some on Amazon for £11 with free delivery so not too bad.

Thanks for that. I'll see if I can find some adapters

I've just ordered myself a JG 608-KV (G36 variant) am I right in thinking M4 mags will fit this too? Or am I best to get G36 mags to be safe?

Once again gents all your advice is most welcome In the mean time I picked this up for £4 just to get me started http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201416845984?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Still think pouches on my belt might be the best option but for £4 I couldn't resist

Once again I'm in a quandry 😁 I've seen a vest on Amazon with a few pouches but not sure if there are too many. Plate carriers seem more expensive and you need to shell out for more pouches. What are peoples thoughts and recommendations?

Now he tells me! lol Might give the backpack as a Christmas present to the Step son (or chuck it in a cupboard lol)

Ordered Couldn't wait for the wife to get home lol Added a gun back and ammo dump pouch to make sure I get the free back pack

Brilliant, thanks for that. I'll get the new battery and charger from UK instead then (Componentshop have them as you said). Once I get the gun I can measure the battery to make sure I get the right one. The B6 charger is on £15 from hobbyking so I can get that too. Right just waiting on the wife getting home and I'm ordering

Gentlemen, your advice is once again very welcome. I've dropped the extra battery, the scope (for now). I've added a charger/balancer http://www.taiwangun.com/en/chargers/quick-charger-with-balancer-for-7-4v-11-1v-lipo-batteries-8fields Some BB's (0.23s) Battery protector/meter http://www.taiwangun.com/en/batteries-li-po/li-po-batteries-protection-meter-8fields But I'm still not sure what battery to get instead out of the 7.4v's I've read this article to help get my head round the difference https://infectedairsoft.wordpress.com/tech-info/lithium-polymer-batteries-part-1/ and it has helped, but out of the list on TG I'm not 100%. Help!

I've been doing a bit of 'virtual shopping' on Taiwanguns this morning and come up with this little list. Can I ask... What do you think? Is the extra battery the right one? (I think so but would like confirmation) Is the extra mag the right one? (Can't find a bespoke mag for the gun, I think m4 mags fit it but played safe) Opinions on the Holo scope? (I'm a glasses wearer, blind as a bat type) Will that grip fit? (once again, I think it will but would like confirmation) Added bonus if I order all that I get a free gift of a Tactical Backpack worth 30 euros Oh and one last question...what BB's would you recommend? Thank you once again all.

I'm almost 100% on getting a G36 or variant now. After boring the wife last night with talk of Airsoft she pointed out that if I did choose to use Taiwan guns I could in fact buy 2 guns and possibly a side arm . Gotta love the financial logic of my wife sometimes lol

Thank for those words of wisdom and experience While I was obtaining my UKARA I was actually using an ICS M4 based rifle so I'v enot even held a G36/G33. I've just been taken by their look, the write ups I've read and how flexible they can be in different scenarios (CQB with folding stock and Woodland scenarios). I've also seen they are sitting in my price range too. Then the 'curve ball' of the Honey badger appeared and the Amoeba LOL. Like you say a decent starter gun to get me going then save/steal/sell stuff to get the next one (I've not even seriously looked at side arms yet HAHA). I've got a few more days to raise some cash then I'll know my total and have a more defiante idea how much to spend (If I buy in the UK I'll need a battery, Charger and second mag). I'll post my choices in a few days after more looking at everyones suggestions and see what the general concensus is I will also try to find time to actually try out a G33/36 in the next week or so as I've seen they have one in The Bunker in Colchester just down the road. Once again, thank you all for your advice and help

Thank you all for your recommendations and pointers so far. That 'newbies link' was very helpful, so thank you. Its also really great to hear that I'm not the only 'older kiddie' on here and playing the sport too Still can't make my bloody mind up so keep the recommendations coming. Is the import/abroad purchase a good idea? I know the price is cheap (which is a main thing for me being on a start up budget) but how reliable are they? Any advice/ideas as always most welcome

At the moment I'm selling as much stuff I've hung onto over the years on EBay and through friends. I also was lucky enough that my wife has 'donated' £200 to my gun fund after a win at Bingo

Thanks for that. I should have mentioned that I'm not buying him a gun yet (he's sorting that out himself when he turns 18 and gets his UKARA sorted). So with that in mind, would you still recommend that gun? I know in some cases it's 'get what you pay for' so I'm obviously wary of the £80 rather than £180

Hi all, I'm a 43 year old that has just got into Airsoft (thanks to my step son lol) and I've been bitten by the bug. I love it and play at RAWWAR in Tendring in Essex. I've got my ukara membership now and I'm eager to buy my first gun. I've looked and looked at sites but still can't work out the best one to buy from. I know what I want (well almost, I've narowed it down to a G33, G36, G36kv or Ares Honey Badger) but everytime I go looking everything is out of stock or the site appears to have a bad reputation. I've looked throught the threads on here for the recommended retailers but they're not offering what I'm after.(that I can see) I have about £250 to get my gun, battery and charger (possibly extra mag too) so can I ask what your site recommendations are for purchasing my first gun? Also, as a first gun are my preferences a good idea? I definately want a AEG, doesn't need too much doing to it out of the box (until I get my head round Hop up adjustments, barrels and what I'm calling 'tinkering' ), has rails to add-ons and can take a sight. I appreciate there may not be many people about this weekend as it's Ground Zero but thought I'd chance my arm some of you might be about Thanks all.
