Now firstly I am not a fan boi!! But I was in the market for a Plate Carrier. My criteria were - Lightweight (I previously had an issued Osprey Plate Carrier which weighed a ton and made you sweat like buggery) and that I could get a Hydration system to.
 
insaw that every one’s favourite Austrian had released a new camo so I had a look at it and quite liked it. Had a browse of the rest of his site and saw the Plate Carrier which has an open hexagonal plate and mesh panels to let the heat out. It also had a matching Hydration pack available so I pulled the trigger.
 
It turned up today and I am very impressed. It is solidly built and looks fantastic. I love the new Camo, I know some won’t and some may even not like it purely because Novritsch made it. Silly really if it is a good product.
 
lived the little pack that came with it with Stickers and a patch.
 
I agree that I now need to purchase the matching pouches from his site but I don’t mind that. In the meantime I am going to fit my multicam pouches. That will wind the Geardos up. 😂😂😂

Not really challenging my opinion that all modern camo is just DPM that someone has spunked on.  

Well, I had a delivery from everyone’s Austrian friend. I have to save the new pattern looks very good and no where near as orange in some of the photos. Very well made Plate Carrier and with the hex plate is super lightweight and breathable. It’s about 1/3 of the weight of the Issue Osprey plate carrier I had before.
 
I got the Hydration pack and Bladder as well after crouching in the undergrowth with 2 team members at Gunman Eversley and they all grabbed their tubes and had a drink whilst I was dying of thirst and wishing that my drink back at the Safe Zone was closer!!
 
I was also impressed with the ‘bag of sweets’ inside the box. It contained some Nov stickers (which will never be used), a Pistol Patch and some very useful BB weight stickers that will definitely be used on my plethora of speed loader so I can be sure what I have filled them with.
 
I agree with one post about having to get matching pouches from one place but I am going to use my multiCam ones for now and change as necessary. I am sure some Geardo will complain that I am mixing patterns but oh well…
 
overall very impressed and looking forwards to trying it out in game.

Mk5 Thunderflash holder to go on the front of my chest rig. Velcro backed - it'll have a loop of shock cord to provide tension.
 

 
 

A new liner for one of the cases.

Having recently come back to Airsoft after a three year hiatus, I have recently discovered Gunman Airsoft in Eversley!! How did I never go here before! Great sites (Camps Alpha and Bravo), fair play (on the whole as the forcefielded ones get everywhere) and a bunch of top guys and girls running it.
 
I experienced my first filmSim at Camp Alpha on Sunday. Having only ever played CQB or Skirmishes, I absolutely loved the longer games, more in-depth games. It also helped that I invested in a Radio and headset which helped with the immersion. Turned up on my own and made friends with a great bunch of lads that became a mini squad.
 
Great fun, sneaking around trying to raid other bases etc. one funny part was myself and another team member spent 30 minutes creating to the main gate in the middle of the site. We were surrounded by enemies from the other 2 teams. All of a sudden, 4 well placed BBs came our way taking us both out. Arms went up, the call went out “Blue Medic”, short pause……. The guy that shot us says “ Wait, what colour are you?”. We obviously answered “Blue” followed by a loud “Shit!”. It was a case of Blue on blue… quite literally!! He was very apologetic but got shot as well whilst trying to heal us.
 
I only did half a day as I headed home early to score brownie points with the other half so it was a win all round. Can’t wait for the next filmSim as that is my new favourite game mode. 

I have owned a VFC 416, in fact it was my first gas gun. The externals are superb, however it proved pretty inconsistent in power terms, and unless you fit the TNT barrel and hop kit, it is inaccurate . It had an NPAS, which is fine but temperature plays such a big part in the VFC equation, that you will find it virtually impossible to know what your VFC is going to put out, until you chrono it on the day.
I moved on to MWS, after owning 2 GHKs, which were good, but not in the same league as MWS. I have two MWS: One is an URGI DMR, fully upgraded with a G&P NPAS shooting 1.85 J on 0.45s, which stacks up in accuracy against my TM NGRS HK417 DMR - which is saying something. The other is an Archwick L119, which came fully upgraded with Guns Modify internals - like the URGI it is bloody good, and I have it set for CQB at 1.1J. 
The moral of the story is go for MWS, upgrade the nub, and fit a tight bore barrel from the onset, then take it from there...you will not be disappointed.    
 

I say you've done the right thing and ended the sale as there's more red flags than a Soviet mayday parade
 
I will. If he's an ex copper and a para legal then I'm a former porn star and next pope
@1967PF44got any thing to say? Or should we all assume you're an untrustworthy cunt? 
 

A Western Arms Doberman 45.
 
Pretty much my all time "Unicorn" pistol due to it being WA and of an old desigen etc - despaired of ever being able to locate one.
 
Amazingly enough, i received a tip-off from a good friend that there was one being sold.
 
Grabbed it.
 
I'm a very happy chappy

Hey JimFromHorsham,
 
If you are indeed, as your name suggest, from Horsham then you aren't to far away from me, I am in Clanfield, just to the South of Woking. If you ever find yourself up this way you are welcome to come and have put a mag or 2 through it at the house. 

I quickly fired a few shots yesterday, the first shot just went about 20 feet and I thought oh....... well thats dissapointing. Pulled the trigger again and the next shot appeared to warp into another universe!!! Wow it has some power and was completely dead straight without touching the hop up! Holy poop balls this is going to be fun at the field. I will get the Chrono out today and see what it is shooting at on .4s

Just 
I think I just jizzed a bit.

Lovely stuff ! High on my bucket list and if I’d pulled my finger out and stopped getting distracted I could of had one by now  
 
looking forward to the optic choice and test fire reports 👍🏼

I run .32 in both of my MWS. Both have the SixG nub and Modify Tan Bucking and I have to dial off the hop as it send them skywards otherwise.
 
Never had a problem with running hot ever. In fact most manning the chrono look at me as if to say ‘that’s a bit low’. Then they see the BBs disappearing into the distance. Ah, the TM fairy magic!!

Well I have finally got my hands on it!!
 
The Umarex/VFC H&K PSG-1 Gas blow back DMR! That title is nearly as long as the Rifle itself! This thing is huge!
 
I have just got back from collecting it from Combat South, thanks to Russ and Mark for sorting this out. Totally hassle free and the best ever customer service. I enquired with Russ wether he can get one and nothing was to much trouble. Ordered on Saturday and got it today (Thursday). No deposit or assurance needed as I have purchased off them before. Top bloke, top shop.
 
Anyway, I have fitted a Harris bipod on it and will be fitting the Scope from the Tarran TTR-1 MWS for now. I may have a look around for a TM copy of the original scope but the one I have with the low riser should do quite well for the moment. I also ordered another mag so I can head out to the field asap (taking the other half away to a Spa  Hotel this weekend to score some brownie points) so it won’t be for a week or so.
 
Anyway, I am going to gas this thing up and give it a go in the Garden. I have about 45m if I shoot diagonally so should get a good idea of how it shoots.
 
Oh and I took one photo with my TM MWS Block 1 for size comparison. The MWS looks like a pistol compared to it!

I generally like .32s, but the stock rubber won't lift them out of the box and you may see it creep over the limit on certain gasses, however there's a very simple and cheap upgrade part called the sixG nub. Honestly, the sixG nub is the only upgrade you really need to do with these for them to shoot pretty damn well on green gas all year round (height of winter at temps under 5 celcius you may need red gas)

I wish I was accurate enough to pick a body part to aim at!

Wait a second...you guys can aim at specific body parts!? I just shoot in their general direction. Que sera, sera n' all that.

He's probably into that sort of thing 

KM is to airsoft what The Sun is to journalism.
 
We don't read The Sun for the same reason that we don't eat from the toilet bowl. 
 
KM should receive the same disdain.  

Jesus . Can't wait for my Monday shite break at work to catch up on this .....

Phew!  That finally gives me an excuse to like the Nazis!

It's why I gave up historic re-enactment.  The groups I was in were always trending towards "professionalism", i.e. committing to providing clients with more numbers, bigger living history displays, and showier arena performances.  It got to the point where we were prepping and loading vans days before big events, and staying on after weekends to tear down, as the chap running each group tried to turn it into a career.
 
Me, I just wanted to eat hog roasts and swing swords.
 
Airsoft needs more hog roasts!
