Grabbed a new helmet:

PSG-1 because it is awesome. Am assuming the newer ones (LCT?) are the dog's danglies externally.

Got a faulty one kicking about somewhere.

Bolt's SR47 range...something that has always tempted me.

Ha! That is exactly what my Dad would say too. Will rectify!!!

Current TM MWS set up (with assorted UKSF inspired bits and pieces).

Dogtag near Crawley. Has been more hit than miss of late, which is good. Ha, cheers, was good to give it a go again.

Well, I took on the general consensus of advice and picked a beautiful summers day to dust off the cobwebs. Went fairly light and did a half day (best option for me as I find post-lunch I am full and verging on wanting a nap!) and it was pretty...pretty good.

Thank you.

Just airsoft fella, just airsoft. But thank you, I can assure you my wife would have me in front of our GP if I felt like this with anything else.

You are indeed right mate. Hope you are well.

Am going to give my local site a go on the 29th. See how it goes. Thanks all for your input and advice.

Sometimes with friends, sometimes on my own. I know going helps my physical and mental health, but at the moment, I have no real desire to do it again. It is good to hear other people have felt likewise.

Cheers pal. Appreciate the invite.

I don't think the current climate of a pandemic has helped. I think it is more the concern that we are playing with toys, they can break, and it can be expensive to fix doesn't help my thinking. I have started to collect pieces that I want to use but don't want to break - TM Uzi, TM PSG-1 for example - and while I am not in debt and can afford to have this stuff in my loft, knowing that it is unlikely to depreciate, I do think at any moment one law change could render them all as wall hangers and the hobby could go. Which is reason enough to play whilst I can, I know...I know...

Just wanted to put this out there, as it is something I am going through, and others might be too. I turned down the opportunity to skirmish last week, which would've been my first since last summer (which was in itself the first in six months) as I have completely lost the enthusiasm to play. The thought of testing batteries after so long, hoping magazines are still gas tight and hauling it all out of the loft, let alone the prospect of potentially playing alongside players who become aggressive or argumentative just killed any desire to do this again. I know I have felt similar in the past, and have got through it and played again, but I feel now that I am mentally tallying up my kit in prices and thinking what it would all fund.

Action Hobbies boneyard section right now if anyone is after cheap skirmish wear...

Pricey?

Extreme Airsoft have some nice temptations in their sale atm.

My MWS in it's current guise:

Cheeky eBay rule dodging listing *and* an over-priced springer pistol to boot. You love to see it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124254982760

Ferro Concepts Slingster. MultiCam. £35 seemed a good price.

Not GBBR imho, it is NGRS - not a horrendous price tbh, not sure what all the fuss is about.

You have to jump on these bargains when you see them. Seen a lot of very good bits and pieces disappear within minutes.

Ah, I see. Danke.
