    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Posted

    Yesterday Brought my first of everything will get pics up when it all arrives:

    G&G CM16 Raider Two tones (for now)

    Zero One Fast/Trickle Charger

    Zero One 8.4v high performance battery

    TMC Strike Mask Black

    ZCA AEG mag for M4 300 rounds x2

    Bolle Tracker Safety Googles

    Full finger light gloves with knuckle protection

    Single point bungee harness

    Ebay special Black airsoft tactical Molle vest

     

     

    Anyone recommend anything I have missed off?

     

    Nice warm hat - Olive or tan beanies work well.

     

    Shemagh for neck/face protection.

     

    Cheap set of BDUs.

     

    You could probably get the whole lot on eBay for £15.

    Star/Ares M14 SOPMOD

    in Electric Guns

    Posted

    Okay, so I have a Star Sopmod. It was put away working, and been in it's hardcase for years.

     

    I am paranoid that if used, the (unique) motor will go and it'll be a paperweight.

     

    It has had gears go before but they were not unique to the model.

     

    I have sourced a supplier of the Ares V2 SOPMOD motor - $22 no less - and hopefully over V2 parts.

     

    My query is...how compatible are V1/V2 parts?!

     

    I'd love to use it again but really don't want to irrepairably knacker it.

     

    Cheers.

    Crawley Surplus

    Without wanting to necro-post, but have been into Crawley Surplus a fair few times in the last year since discovering them, and they are really good guys.

     

    The tech/s working there are spot-on and whilst some of their prices are a bit mad on certain things, others are very competitive.

     

    Had a hold of the Dual-1911 they'd just got in today. Good luck holstering that!

     

    Well worth a visit.

    Combat South

    Combat South are consummate professionals.

     

    CSW is run extremely well and their Christmas skirmish and raffle is outstanding.

     

    The shop is a bit of a treasure trove and yes, customer service is top notch.

     

    CSW rules are 328fps +/- 10% IIRC and there is no Co2 allowed either IIRC. Not sure about sniper FPS.

    Is playing dress up becoming more important than playing airsoft?

    I like both aspects.

     

    I like having AEGs that I don't see anyone else with (or at least rarely) and/or ones I really like - my first cap gun was an Uzi, so I had to get a TM Uzi...I love Bond films, so I had to get a PPK(/S). I love the bank robbery in Heat, so I had to get a Galil...I love Full Metal Jacket and I know I will, someday, own an M60...

     

    As for clothing, I grew up in hand-me-downs and we never had a lot of money for branded clothes. Now that I have a salary, I can save up for some nice gear that also is perfectly suitable for trail walking; which I am getting into as well. So I have invested in clothes that should be durable, functional and tactical if needs be: TAD Gear, Merrell and OPS being the main ones. I loved the look of a PCU jacket, so I wanted one. The fact that it works flipping well in winter swayed my wallet. I wear what is going to keep me warm or cool and most importantly, comfortable. It can be a long old day and the UK weather is, as we all know, and unpredictable madam.

     

    What is great about airsoft, and it echoes others; is that participants are, as a whole, pretty non-judgemental. 'What works for you', is my motto.
