Ha ha! Lovely stuff all.

Yeah, I clicked on the article, but I am still not buying that they are. Surely they aren't training with paintball markers?

Saw this online and had to post. These aren't Ukrainian trainees, right? Look like common or garden paintballers to me! Reuters eh?!

I would think that something like the BFG stretchy 'Helium Whisper' mag pouches might be good for AUG mags. I had an AUG. I have these pouches. Can't remember if there was ownership overlap but I would definitely use these pouches if I still had the AUG. I miss my CA AUG.

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.

PCs seem good for what you pay. Or look on Instagram or Crye FB sellers for cheap Crye JPCs for copy prices.

Not sure they do it in the Tropic pattern, but Propper's Tac.U range and cut has always impressed me. I would go for the UR Tactical/OPS kit over TMC/Emerson everytime. Although normal pattern Multicam Crye Precision made kit is at clone prices on ebay these days.

I would look at the TM M14 range. Old skool, but ridiculous range as stock.

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...

TM 416C is a riot.
