  1. Off the top of my head I’m going to guess it’s a 50mm buckle, unless from the manufacturer etc then I’d say to use a local fabric shop / habidashery or if you’re willing to do some sewing yourself then online Something like this: https://www.profabrics.co.uk/products/side-release-buckle-50mm Then either double siding a bit of wide 50mm Velcro or strip of webbing strap They may not stock the size & colour you want but it’s always worth taking the holster into your local fabric shop and they’ll either be able to order in and do a bit of sewing for you or refer you to a handy seamstress
  2. I am fond of a bit of camping, you can’t beat sitting in a field with good company I’ve more of a Boys Brigade background than scouts, but did help out at Cubs weekends a couple of times I’m a bad influence, telling Cubs that ‘being prepared’ means not needing to rub sticks nor having perfectly aligned pegs etc. But I had a good bunch of lads and they were able to come up with all the ‘official ways’ they were meant to do things, while I was able to give them the wisdom of acquiring the official skills but recognise that expending the energy isn’t always the right thing. You can’t count on finding the right two complimentary types of wood, kindling and good fire wood...... and to do so whilst expending more energy than you get back from the food you eventually cook!
  3. ..... actually, I was once at a training day & photographing prior to heading off camping I got a little peckish, went round to the shop but there was only chocolates and I was too early for lunch Quick brainwave, out with the stove and jet boil and within minutes I was dining
  4. The whole thing is an adaptor or a riser mount (depending on the type of rails) They are part of a rail system The top is the male end of the rail mount The bottom is the female end of the rail mount, and features the clamping system They could be the same type of rail system on top/bottom or they could be different rail systems Are you asking what it is (as in the female end/clamp) or what type of rail system - eg Weaver/picatinny/dove tail etc
  5. How good they are depends on what works for you A fibre optic needs ambient light to light it up and ‘glow’ so in the dark it’s just whatever plain colour
  6. Confirmed - you pay the standard price which includes their local tax, until Brexit takes effect it’s within the EU free trade zone
  7. Oh yes ...... they are definitely fun
  8. I have an older model of the M203, and also a Soviet AK type. To be honest they have very little practicality. I have made more use of them for just making noise for fun. To be of any use you need multiple shells and they are all single shot unless you carry a bottle of green gas, or CO2 to recharge them. If the game has some relevance to the shells such as simulating blowing up an object, destroying a vehicle etc then there is some form of use. But depending on the shell you just have a small single shot shotgun style blast 40mm launchers have been used in the US to fire the Nerf type of rockets - and have had a rule with regard to special vehicles or objects, but they still have little power as you’re blowing green gas/co2 into a foam shell to blow it out of the barrel. You’d get better performance throwing it My M203 is the long barrel type similar to the video which could launch a nerf, There is also a short barrel type that can’t launch a nerf and my AK launcher is also short so couldn’t launch a nerf Without a specific use they are a heavy piece of metal hanging off your barrel and a drain of £
  9. For future reference, this is a High Pressure air regulator (in this case on a 3000psi cylinder, but a 4500psi is also about the same but starting st higher pressure) not in sight is a fill nipple (see picture 2) the bottom nut is the high pressure burst disk (effectively a fuse in case too high a pressure of air is filled) Next in the centre the pressure gauge with internal cylinder pressure Then inside is the regulator wotkings stepping down On the right is the low pressure burst disk in case the regulator fails Final picture is the valve on a co2 cylinder That does nothing other than release the co2, and can either have (1) just a pin valve to release co2 when connected, (2) just have an on/off screw to release co2, or (3) have both pin valve and on/off screw The co2 is naturally released at aporix 850psi in it gaseous state, which is why the original air regulators were set at 800-850 psi
  10. That’s a standard 3000psi cylinder with a regulated output of probably 600 to 800psi The airsoft regulator ought to easily accept that kind of pressure and output at a suitable airsoft pressure All should be good
  11. You did better than out guys who came back with just a frisbee
