If the documentary floated your boat. Pick up a copy of Apache by Ed Macy. Very interesting read. 🙂

Welcome aboard Mikey 🙂

Arrived this morning. Thank you . 👍

Yeah,the set i bought had 2 lenses and a strap. the arms can come off an be replaced with the elasticated strap. I tried the strap but never got on with it as I am used to wearing glasses.

I have Wiley X Sabres, i find them very comfortable. Pros: Very strong ( they meet MIL-PRF-31013 ballistic standard ) Able to take RX inserts (which for glasses wearers like me is great) Fit well regardless of head wear (helmet or cap) They have pretty thin arms and work o.k with a headset (i use a COMTAC II on my helmet set up, not as thin on the arms as Oakley Mframes) Cons: Not full seal around the eyes Reasonably expensive (i have seen them for around £30 a pair, without RX inserts and a single colour lens. Not sure if they were genuine or a copy) HTH alan

Allowed up to 500fps with DMRs at LandWarrior same 25m MED as Bolties and you have to have a side arm. There are rules in place about spamming the trigger (1 shot in 3 seconds) and DMRs have a ring of "red tape" on the barrel to help Marshals see who has one. Advantages of a DMR i see are not having to take your scope/eye of the target to reload, being able to engage targets rapidly, think three guys in a row, pew, pew,pew, rather than pew, rack bolt, pew, rack bolt,pew. Disadvantages, DMRs tend to be a bit heavier than Bolties. Bolties are less expensive. Bolties are arguably more reliable (less working parts) and certainly easier to work on. As long as your not ignoring MED (Bolties have same restriction ) and "being a D*ck" with trigger spam it's all good and as with most things in Airsoft "its all about looking cool" 🙂

Which grip ?. A TM 416C pictured below. Would be interested in other battery placement options. The Other TM 416s you can re wire the Stock connection for Deans (or what ever you want) and slip a battery in the stock. The picture of My 417 which also uses the "SOPMOD" battery system is how it looks. You might need to cut a little bit of the plastic back to fit batteries down the stock.

The TM416C can be powered from the front as well as batteries in the magazines. Saves buying lots of TM mags and batteries. Put a PEQ battery box on it and use the connectors hidden under the little flap on the front rail. You can re-wire this connector to deans if you want. Like this.

Welcome aboard buddy 👍 Another one to add to the growing list from "Gods Country" north of the border.

ahh nice pics.. the day i missed. Will hopefully see you there on Sunday 😃

Welcome aboard Gary Always nice to have another local 🙂

thanks Guys. Hints duly dropped to the Mrs. I'll feed back here when/if she takes the hint 🙂

Thanks for the Info Gents, Very useful Unfortunately I need to shrink a good bit Gepard @CKinnerley must be a bit smaller than me, judging by the sizing on the kit (it is nice tho)

Hi all, I have a birthday approaching soon. Looking to give the Mrs ideas for presents. I am after a woodland pattern trousers and spotted these http://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/invader-gear-predator-bdu-trousers-us-woodland-camo-knee-pads-15607-p.asp I'm not familiar with Invader Gear as a brand, wondering where they fit on a scale of: ClawGear - expensive but really nice Bulldog -- not too expensive but good quality Viper-- cheap and mostly nasty ? Anyone have any Invader Gear kit ? TIA alan

ahh "interpreting for the NEDS" ?? You can thank me later 🙂
