Couldn't find anything about them before I ordered. Anyway, for the sake of search engines and all that: I did order from them, my order was shipped quickly and it took 7 working days to get from Poland to the UK. Not bad, really. I'd use them again. I can't comment on how they'd handle something going wrong but in any case everything went right.

Massive caveat that this is pure "grapevine" but I have heard similar things for a while now to the point that when I came to acquire some weighted plates I assumed they were essentially out of business and went to tridentgearco instead. if you want something heavier than trident's 4.2kg a pair set then you could maybe look at : https://www.hr4k.co.uk/products/hr4k-plates

i think that is a SF M720 of which replicas are available

get a headlight with a dim red light...then go to the woods, tonight, and walk/run/jog around to build up confidence moving around with limited vision. life is an RPG - buff your "proprioception" stats. it won't stop you getting lost/disorientated but i think it will help on a step-by-step basis. try not to scare people walking dogs or whatever so if you see someone approaching turn your light on.

i went to stirlings 'themed' game at catterick last month. i think jacobs post has it covered, though i will add: from my sole experience i wouldnt expect you to be sleeping in game as its from 11-11 sat with a break overnight with a few hours on sunday ending at 11. cant remember if it was game on at 8 or 9. i slept in one of the aforementioned barns. i didn't see anyone with a tent,i dont see why you would need one, and i didnt see an obvious place where you put one. everything i needed to play with i had on me: loose bbs, spare batteries, water and snacks. there were 2 respawns in play and which one we used was dependent on the objective we had at the time. everything else i had in the car which was easily accessible. thats where i had my lunch and dinner. bring absolutely everything on the kit list and that does include a pen and paper as we were given our objective location and timings all at once, and quickly.

I have done this myself (same parts etc) but i used tin snips not dremel to cut down arms. however mine aren't fully retained - you can pull them out. as an interim i have used elastic bands to keep them snug. contemplating glueing them in place but concerned it would mean there is no room for adjustment/error. did i do something wrong? thanks

ha agreed. when i did send (and if i say so myself, a pretty expensive one with some bespoke machined parts that i wanted fitted) via PF48 i 1) declared it as a "LPAW" 2) didn't bother insuring it 3) nearly shat myself at the thought of something going wrong! I have had a very good experience with camoraids for all sorts of reasons but that they arrange pick up and drop off themselves rather then leaving you to it is a massive bonus for me. thanks again

Thanks that is the same thing I saw. But I interpreted it (and i may be wrong) as saying that all firearms are prohibited but low powered air weapons sent within the uk (air rifles, air guns and air pistols) are allowed imitations, antiques, paintball guns, toy guns, tasers...etc are prohibited the next section then talks about how low powered air weapons (including airsoft projectiles amongst others) are fine but must be on PF48. im not mr cynical but if something was to go wrong my assumption is that PF would take a similar line. house always wins and all that jazz. cheers edit: RM seems pretty unambiguous that imitation firearms are allowed (I think??) which is good i guess. thanks again

sincerely interested not trying to start a fight - where does it say that? I couldn't find it and indeed spoke to someone on the phone about it - not that the latter means its official. I did end up doing a fairly large discount on a RIF if they collected cause i didn't want to post it for that reason. cheers!

This sort of implies that you think that i've never had an ankle injury - and you'd be right haha. But that is irrelevant i suppose. . Lucky may be true. Insanely strong I'm not so sure but I am firmly of the..opinion (!!) that having strong muscles, ligaments, bones, as well as the mobility for proper range of motion of the ankle is very, very important. I'm not a "low cut" evangelist, I have just as many high top boots as I do low cut shoes. I basically think 1) there may not be the perfect tool for the job, but there is the best choice of tool for the job 2) everything is a compromise 3) pick your poison. For a day skirmish I do, for myself, do not see the need for a 8 inch tall boot. I would rather be quicker on my feet, with better range of motion bla bla bla. For longer periods climbing steep hills possibly with a rucksack/bergan then yes i would wear a higher top boot but tbh the more i do this sort of the stuff the more i think they are overrated. If you can be bothered to read the scientific literature on this subject (i am not a scientist) you will find this subject is hardly black and white. but thats for another day. For the record: I am not recommending white trainers. that just isnt tactical! I would recommend anyone with a preexisting injury (or not) to absolutely wear whatever support they feel they need Sites can dictate what people wear as i guess they have the insurance to worry about. there's no beef from me there. If you are worried about injuries please don't rely big boots by themselves strength, balance, mobility are really important too, probably more important. This isn't for being a turbo steroid tier 1 operator, just sensible life advice. its even on the nhs website!

These are just my opinions and should not be taken as a statement of fact: I can't really recommended any boots. I used merrel for years, then i had 2 pairs break at the same place within a year. I moved to salomon and used the same pair for 5.5 years (yes i counted). They failed (fair play) and i replaced them with the "speedcross" trail running shoe, which lasted 6 months before delaminating. I since replaced them with the "crosshike" hiking boot, with goretex lining, but haven't used them enough to really comment. The salomon warranty was pretty quick and fairly generous - a voucher worth £80 more than i paid. I still use the running shoes but i was / am dissapointed Massive leather boots are for professional soldiers or in the event of total social breakdown, not airsofting, imo. I also think ankle support is massively overrated and sites insistence on using them has much more to do with a sense of aesthetic and not wanting "white trainers" then it is h&s... controversial!!!!! When i do get wet feet most of the time its not cause i stepped in a puddle, its cause i've been walking through long wet grass. gaiters are useful for this. For a winter airsoft boot where at most you'll be wearing them for no more than 36 hours, i would (and did) go with goretex lining. but for extended stuff, i think a non-goretex lined boot with waterproof socks are best Ultimately i see the point of all this stuff as not getting your feet wet, rather then merely not letting water in. If you get all sweaty, your feet will get wet. as a rough rule of thumb (toe?) i advise not wearing waterproof socks till your boot is already wet. wear them till they dry out enough to replace them with a normal sock. I get very, very sweaty so bear this in mind There's wearing the right clothes for the weather, but really its wearing the right clothes to match the weather and the activity. For a day skirmish i wear pretty much the same stuff year round, I prefer being cold and wet to being really hot as skirmishing / anything even barely resembling physical activity warms me up, it doesn't cool me down. Same with running. I adhere to the "be bold, start cold" school of thought but i appreciate that having cold hands and toes is uniquely awful. i always, always have spare clothes, socks and shoes for the drive home. (i also never, ever, ever wear camo outside of a site. i am very body positive so have no issues getting changed in a car park)

how embarrassing !!haha

surefire not a maglite. nerd alert!!!

i just call people cause i am sufficiently neurotypical to use a telephone

wasn't particularly offended. believe it or not as someone who basically grew up with the internet i don't find racism or whatever particularly shocking or offensive. but it wasn't very funny either - think you may be better off leaving the jokes to ricky gervais, no offence intended of course.

Not my place to take offence on others behalf but certainly bad vibes mocking people's accents. Not like it really makes a difference but its thanks to people like "Wang in HK" that we have this hobby. Just something to think about
