Supposedly will get about 1000 shots from 1 tank, so probably looking at 2 tanks per skirmish, though the more I play the less I spray 😉

Problem with google is you need to put in the right terms to get what you need. Was searching for Dive shops since last night, nothing really local and no mention of filling HPA for paintball/airsoft. Just restarted searching, this time for Diving Shop, and there is one in walking distance and it does! £4 for a filled tank, though as a Scuba tank is £5 longer term might be more cost effective. They open at 12, so will be ringing in 18 mins 😉 Now just need the hose to arrive .... Took ages to fill 400psi with the hand pump, TFFT.

I've been reading all the threads on the forum, but the challenge seems to be finding one that is willing to fill them. E.g. some paintball sites may not want to know, no benefit for them, same for Dive shops. Cheers G I'll overheat long before the tank 😉

Thanks, might take you up on that if I get stuck. I'm about 35 miles from Reading (West London). Those sites were easier to get to for parking etc than Bunker 51, about the same timewise, and didn't fancy carrying a load of gear on the tube, especially a RIF ;-). Cheers G

Now I just need to work out how to power it. Tried pumping the HPA tanks but barely making a dent in the pressure gauge with a hand pump Might try CO2 initially, until I can find somewhere to fill the cylinders. Missing the bit to connect to the CO2, so will have to source one. So far can only find them on US websites. Cheers G

Just bought a Tippmann M4 HPA.

New piston and head for the G36C. Nearly spent as much on parts as the gun now. Welcome to Airsoft! 😀

could have been along the lines of "Off Topic posts from the Bargain Thread", but as the rants were a major factor in the spin-off I guess that made it into the title. Coming up with meaningful names for this kind of thread is also one of the challenges of a mod 😉 G

Anything not directly related to a bargain from the bargain thread got dumped here, though would say a couple getting dumped here were a bit harsh e.g., you posted a discount code for model rifles, though it wasn't for airsoft, still was a bargain. To be fair, it's not easy being a mod, nearly 15 years since I last had the pleasure/misfortune 😉. Cheers G

What specifically do you like about it. Will qualify for UKARA on the weekend, so starting to look around. Cheers G

That's why I try to stay away from there, a Tippman M4 was tempting me 😉. Good thing you didn't need two tone parts, at these prices it would be more than you paid for the gun 😉 https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/222398249879?chn=ps&adgroupid=54831769347&rlsatarget=pla-412711540731&abcId=1133916&adtype=pla&merchantid=9610334&poi=&googleloc=9046084&device=c&campaignid=1057744940&crdt=0

Harder than a Scorpion Evo? I thought the G36C was hard until I got the Evo. Still have the bruise from last week where it pinched the side of a finger. 😁

Just bought this Chrono. I suspect my G36C is now running hot after upgrades. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075S9SK9T/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Cheers G

I wore BTP black at the Mall, I'd say that is my favorite for indoors. Probaby DPM for outdoors, but having spent so mch on MTP, I feel obliged to wear it. In a mixed environment, I would go MTP. Cheers G

That's the one, I didn't like it when I got some Urban camo trousers, I prefer darker colours. Cheers G

That's fine if you are made of terracotta and don't need to move, but even I have been known to run a bit when airsofting ;-). So stitching is important.

Got myself a new soldering iron, it is way better than my old one. Solder melts almost immediately. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06Y5HVCMG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 At £14.99 , I think it was a real bargain, given the extra bits and pieces. Cheers G

Hat for when it gets too hot in the Mall. Thanks again Rob for the patch. Cheers G

Looks worse than my G36C atm, which is also in bits. But at least I took it apart and know how to put it back together 🤞😅.

Formal wear for Druid? He likes a bit of DPM 😉

A few guys at the Mall were wearing suits, but I think they were going for the Hitman look.

Says doesn't delivery to the UK?

I was using the wipes at the Mall, had no fogging even though there was loads of moisture in my paintball mask. Definitely a good buy. Cheers G

Orginally thought I went overboard with the MTP gear, when I bought this. But starting to think having one of these might be usefull in airsoft after all.😅 http://www.wholesalearmysurplus.co.uk/products/miscellaneous/item/mtp-tier-2-pelvic-protection

This is a better pic of how they fit together, I may grind off the ridge on the paintball mask, if it doesn't weaken it.
