  1. All boots fit different. It's one of those things you just can't buy online unless you have tried them (by tried I mean having used them for at least a month), especially boots can make or break your day. Spend some extra money and buy them from a store you can go to!! With that being said, for the last 10 years I've been wearing Crispi boots. Okay it's an Italian brand so it might not be available over there but damn they're comfortable and durable (my last pair, which was also my first pair of Crispis, lasted 8 years and has gone through a fuckton of kilometres including basically half the Santiago de Compostela trail in Spain).
  2. Thanks guys for your suggestions! I'm gonna be using them, apart from regular game days every now and then, for long events, 24h+ where there is a lot of hiking involved (I have an event in May which is about 21h and I fully expect to walk around for at least 40 kilometres if not way more), so plain BDUs are out of question. I have a couple of hiking pants but to be completely honest I don't trust them with walking through very very thick vegetation and thorns, they might last but I'm not taking chances, because spending two days naked isn't fun lol. So, as of now, I have looked at Uf Pro's P-40 all terrain pants, Claw Gear's offerings, OPS stealth pants and Pentagon Wolf combat pants. There is a more expensive option and that is S.O.D. Legion trousers, a couple of teammates have them and they look really nice, but they're way up there in terms of price and I feel like if I have to splurge, might as well get a pair of Cryes or Patagonia (or the likes).
  3. Open top pouches need to be good, otherwise you're going to lose all sorts of things.. Not worth losing a €30 magazine because you saved €10 in buying a shit pouch over a good one
  4. best lie 2022.
  5. FUCKING FINALLY! Found a King Arms PDW stock in FDE, 2nd hand for €27 posted... I have never paid something so quick lol
  6. 105cm waist (ish), 74cm inseam. Should translate to 38-40/30 according to Uf Pro's website.
  7. Yo, I'll cut straight to the point: My fat arse needs a new pair of trousers, in ranger green. Here's a quick list of requirements: • Internal kneepads (as an alternative just pockets for some soft ones) • Plenty of movement range • Accepts a FRV tailoring inner belt (2") • Preferably not repros/Airsoft products • Not too many pockets • Ranger Green of course, or some variation Now, I also happen to have short legs (my inseam is around 74/75cm, 30 inches) because why would I have a regular sized body when I can be a literal sack of shit Budget is around €150, I can stretch to 250 but that's the absolute limit so Crye Precision is out of my league. Any suggestions?
  8. For the sake of commodity, it makes sense to have multiple of X platform, you have ONE set of mags, ONE rig and cross compatibility between upgrades and spares (that is a stretch because apart from gearbox specific stuff like tappet plates and mosfets, most guns use the same exact internal components).. But let's be honest, you don't really need more than two, one long and one short. Maybe a third to keep as a loaner. Most of the times you can get away with a single gun (say 10" barrel) for both woodland and cqb games. I have two M4s, both in the 9.5/10" range, for tournament purposes (we all use M4s so we can exchange mags). In theory I only need one but then again, if it shits itself I have a spare. I could use a very short one for cqb but a) I never play CQB and b) I have a King Arms PDW for that, which can be turned into a 5.56 rifle once the proprietary lower dies with a very simple receiver swap. Once you start having two/three different platforms (say M4, AK and MP5) it becomes a somewhat logistic nightmare because you then need either dedicated rigs or something you can swap inserts/pouches/placards like a Spiritus Systems chassis or one of the latest plate carriers.
  9. Yeah for us is more like: We are 4 people and there is one defender, once he fires he might hit the first but the other 3 need to literally bukkake him in plastic. Defense knows where we are, so being sneaky doesn't work anymore and we need to get the overmatch.. Unfortunately people still think BBs are evil and must be avoided at all costs
  10. Absolutely, if you scroll back a couple of pages you'll see my old SMG setup just be aware that the top rail on the mamba sits half a centimetre lower than the bridge rail, which is mainly why I moved on the stupid expensive TTI kit.
  11. Forgot to post about the actual game So this Sunday we were 8 on the field, cold, but clear morning. decided to run the kit I'm gonna be using on mid May's 21h event and I'm glad I did because now half the shit is gonna stay home I've reduced the number of mags from 6 to 3 (2+1), won't bring the mayflower rig but the TMR, will ditch the belt and will store the mk23 in my backpack until the night phase, where it will become my primary. I'm also bringing a larger pack, 9 litres might not be enough for water, clothes (waterproof top + fleece) and mk23+mags+gas. as far as the actual game, I had a big oof moment where I was defending and an attacker walked right past me without seeing me, I fired 4 shots with the mk23 and the first two hit the only fucking piece of shit sapling between us, the third zipped past his head and when the 4th was flying, he had already seen me so we traded kills -.- other than that it was a fun day, I enjoy low numbers way more than 20+ players days, I get way more space to move around and make plays and the low numbers (either 10 or 13) are what we have in tournaments, so it's good training in addition to much quicker games and the chance to teach new kids a thing or two.. this Sunday, for example, it was radio comms, when to use it, how to use it and how to set it up in a way where you can't accidentally operate the PTT so everyone can hear how much of a short breathed fuck you are Because literally, last time one guy had his rifle sling pushing on his PTT and all we heard was boars having an orgy. Next Sunday it'll be shooting back when being shot at, cuz I see way too many people duck in cover instead of fighting back lol
  12. Yeah that is a major issue, we got lucky because the landowner is super nice and never, ever asked us a penny in the 10 odd years we've been playing on his property.
  13. Yup, I mostly post two things in my thread: Really good/fun games, or shit days where everything goes wrong. The "Joe average" days where nothing particularly fun/good/bad/whatever happens I usually don't write about. Also I am pretty sure you guys have these issues as well, but since it's the site owner's responsibility to kick idiots out and not yours (as paying customers), you probably don't even notice it, I think it's also due to the large numbers of people you have on site. We're a small community so everything feels amplified, I'm pretty confident that if I had, say, 100 people in my club I wouldn't post that much about kicking cunts off because it would be "normal administration"
  14. To be fair, guys, you could adopt the model we use over here: We don't have sites you can play at, we instead have clubs with a yearly subscription fee to cover insurance and get some money to buy/build/rent stuff (varies from club to club, in mine it's €70 for example), you get a permit to play on a piece of land and essentially you're done. Of course you won't have the numbers you're used to, you will lose some facilities like toilets and food, but overall it'll be much, much easier to sustain than dishing out a decent dinner every time you want to go out and shoot your mates in the ass from a bush.

    It does indeed.. Apparently it's polymer, which is fine but at this point I would have expected a full sized polymer mamba, so you get to keep the looks but shave off some weight (and cost).
  16. My Airsoft day hasn't even started and I've already witnessed a guy coming in my local retailer asking for level 4 plates.....
  17. A picture of how you wear it would be nice to have, maybe you're wearing it a bit low, or it's too tall for your body.

    Saw this a couple of days ago, looks interesting, if only I didn't have a full sized mamba already:D
  19. Handguard arrived, this is roughly how it looks like: Unfortunately it doesn't really fit, the barrel nut is just a hair too narrow for the barrel stump to fit so I will have to turn down the stump by just a smidge:
  20. We have a dedicated AAP thread btw Should be good for insane RPS builds since it's much lighter than the stock AA one (it weighs 39 grams lol). With that being said, I don't see people buying these en masse, the stock one works well and all it takes to increase the RPS is a short stroke kit (mine now cycle so fast that gas magazines can't keep up with them).
  21. Templars Gear taco clones, great quality and not even that expensive at around €25/pouch. Failing that, Helikon makes good open top universal (ish) pouches that take M4 and Ak mags no problem, I paid €18 a piece for mine (never used them though, discarded my old chest rig project so sold them on as new). The inside is so grippy you'll have troubles pulling mags out, so you won't lose anything. Failing that (you want cheaper) any taco clone will do. Keep in mind that the emerson/TMC ones aren't that grippy and mags can actually slide out pretty easily.
  22. Just bought: 2x TM mk23 mag 1x T1 low mount 3x Specna Edge (BLS) 0.28g bbs 2x Cyma M-Lok mp5k style grips 1x Midwest Industries 6" M-Lok handguard (for the AAP SMG) 1x universal valve key (+ bonus AR-15 front sight adjusting tool) 1x Airtech gearbox holdy things 1x FPS V3 tappet plate 1x FPS V2 tappet plate
  23. Here, have a low quality picture of what appears to be me cosplaying a low effort south american drug dealer or something. Kit I used on last game Invader Gear Woodland Predator pants Decathlon OD green combat shirt Crispi boots Revision Sawfly (max wrap edition) Mechanix Originals in OD green Mesh mask not in picture Condor MC ball cap FRV tailoring belt with a bunch of Templars Gear and Helikon pouches (2 pistol, 1 rifle, dump) Mayflower gen4 rig in Ranger Green Tasmanian Tiger 9L backpack in Grey Tournament gun (Specna C08 base + a bunch of useless upgrades) Obligatory cigarette. Your day is ruined now, not sorry in the slightest.
  24. I own the short version. If you want to get rid of the stock, I'll gladly take it off your hands :3 Stock performance is okay, though I only dry fired it twice before ripping apart all the internals
