Cheers might do a Friday game next month but 11pm finish is too late for me with over an hour drive and work the next day.
Edit
Their laser policy might be a deal breaker for me don't want some daft cunt laserin my eyes out with some chinese laser. Ban them they aren't required for airsoft and are too dangerous.
Lasers and Strobes: Do not deliberately shine lasers or strobing lights at peoples faces. Keep in mind that with the nature of the dark areas of the site, people will have torches and you will get them shone in your face from time to time

theirs the fort (outdoors) and the fortress (cqb) i go to the fortress most wed nights. they run games every wed and Friday night 7 - 11. im going next wed should come along.
I can't find the fortress online for game times just the fort which seem to run the same days as the depot.
Does Fortress not do weekend games? I'd struggle to make it up for 7 and 11 is past my bed time 😂

Yea I'm not trying to say they are really expensive just cautioning it isn't as simple as £10~ on just the racals.
Also if money is no object then maybe people might like https://www.silynxcom.com/store/headset-systems/clarus-pro/

The prices for these Racal Frontiers on eBay is insane, they're essentially active hearing protection right? The weird connector just makes it hard to hook up to a radio, ignoring that you can't get in ear active hearing protection for anywhere near £10. Is there something I'm missing here?
Also whilst I'm posting here, anyone know if those 5 pin lemo connectors are 1B? I guess that's a sizing code?
So you need buds as well as the racals and the surefire ones run more expensive than the racals themselves (they also offer protection on their own so if you just wanted to play with protection the surefire on their own would work but no fancy electronics) Now if you have buds and the racals and a AAA battery you already have the hearing protection and can just run that. After that you need to look at getting custom wiring for them or a PTT or both to get a radio hooked up. The cost starts mounting up.
To be honest if I wasn't wearing a paintball mask I would just run a fist mic with a 3.5 output and run these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Honeywell-Howard-Leight-Foldable-Defender/dp/B001T7QJ9O/ref=sr_1_43?crid=35K1ZNXYEA1L9&keywords=ear+defenders&qid=1565349236&s=gateway&sprefix=ear+defen%2Caps%2C305&sr=8-43 they do the ambient enhancement the hearing protection for loud bangs and have a aux in you can feed a 3.5mm jack to.

I suspect inside my dye mask it would be worse as it has ear protectors sitting right on it.

*excuse the state of my ear plugs*
The racal frontier goes into the back of the EP4 which makes it like a headphone ear tip.
The headset goes down to the amplifier box. From the amp would normally go to a PRR radio via a lemo connector however I’ve had mine wired to a standard NATO plug which I use with a Ztactical u94 PTT with a k1 connector for kenwood/baofengs (I use baofeng UV82).
Thanks for the pic so do you use the mic in the racals then?

I got my Racals from JCI comms with a standard NATO plug so I could use a standard PTT
JCI sell the racals as well as wiring them? I was thinking I would need to get them to wire me a PTT to accept the lemo connector in to the kenwood for the baofeng. Might be worth me just getting all the kit of them minus the radio

Won't work with my paintball mask unfortunately and I've been hit with enough xx brand of paper pyro to want to consider protecting my hearing and I have enough trouble hearing people speaking to me currently without putting earphones in/on to block out more noise.

Look up JCI comms on facebook. He built me a PTT with Racal Frontiers in ear noise cancelling buds. All connects to a Baofeng radio but he can change to what ever connections your radio requires.
Hey, looking at getting racals to use with my radio while wearing my dye mask. Can you advise if they fit well without discomfort? I tried a pair of AKG IEMs I got with my Samsung and they are fine but I don't know how much the racals stick out or not hard to find people talking about them online let alone in combination with a paintball helmet.Not sure what tips fit them as they seem to require external ones some people wear https://www.amazon.co.uk/Surefire-Sonic-Defenders-Black-Medium/dp/B004DH0YOS/ref=pd_ybh_a_8?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=DCM1P28WEXFYCHHWSN19&th=1&psc=1 but I hear regular buds work on them as well.

They would of earned the name H20 🤣
I poked Wargames centre and they still run walk on airsoft events. I agree if you don't advertise you won't be in taking people at a good rate and people will eventually lose interest in the hobby but it's too easy to play arm chair general, they are running a site how works for them. It also shows they aren't trying to cram as many people as a fire marshal finds acceptable in to their site so I can respect that.

I just get the impression so many sites are money making schemes providing as little as possible to qualify as a "skirmish" site. Depot isn't perfect by any stretch but I've seen so much progression and work being done in the 9 months I've been going.
That Wargames Centre looks cool but does seeem to have died in Febuary and seems to run the same weekends as depot as well looking for the other weekend.
Currently the cloest indoor site I could find is newcastle. Could make it as they don't start till 1PM till 8PM http://www.nolimitspaintballandlaser.co.uk/activities/airsoft
Be nice to have one a bit closer. Fife Wargames was good but just can't make plans too far in advance with outdoor sites.
-
My local is the depot and I go at least once a month sometimes twice but I like to try other sites to keep it interesting.
I have been to section 8 and fife war games.
If anyone could let me know of some other sites I can look at I am willing to drive a fair amount.

You know the colour is down to the BB not the tracer unit...right?
Yea but the Lighter S doesn't illuminate red very well but the Lighter BT does green ok and does red really well. The BT model has a button that swaps between green and red mode but you still need to feed it the correct bbs of that colour. Not sure if the Lighter S has a mode swap button or not. All I know what what I read and watch on youtube.

How much does tracer weight effect a hi-capas gas efficeny? (my hi-capa is already getting over 3 mags on 1 gas up)
I am trying to choose between either the Ligher S at 32g or the Lighter BT at 78g I'd prefer to run the ligher BT as I think red looks cooler than green.

This is also a big issue in the IT industry. Most certification schemes are simply a cash grab, people learn how to pass the cert rather than do the job.
why I am offended! I know all the configuration maximums and would never need to google them!
Cisco actually have good exams but mostly your correct brain dumping is rampant and the vendors don't care too much because they still get their money.
Experience trumps any certificate.

Games all types of games.
PC Gamer and Nintendo Switch and a fair board game collection. Oculus rift for VR games as well enjoy Onward for some shooting or beat saber.
Watching tv shows and movies count as a hobby? Also anime too senpai.
Little bit of cycling.
Leaving passive aggressive comments on reddit airsoft pictures with magazines in guns and no eye protection is apparently one of my hobbies according to the people who read them....

Hm.. partly, there's plenty of companies out there with solid revenue streams from mainstream products who still never do anything different and play it safe. I've handled the Cobalt AEG at SHOT, frankly if they made mags for it that were super-resilient to drops I'd buy one as I love the real thing, but I don't think it's a gun that'd have any use in airsoft outside of IPSC and other similar style airsoft shooting competitions.
it's actually just the mags that fall so you can use different mags or use those mags in a different gun and still get the drop on empty effect. From what I understand it has the g2 gearbox so if you used a g2 mag it would support stop on empty instead of drop on empty. Bit long for my liking even with stop on empty.

Don’t think it’ll even be allowed in speedqb (closest thing to competitive speedsofts governing body) since double triggers aren’t allowed 😂.
kinda seems like a mistake maybe it comes with a regular or something.
7 hours ago, TheFull9 said:This adaption is safer I'd agree, but given all the risky releases I've seen in the past 14 or so years I disagree that no company would ever attempt to make a pure competition type gun.
G&G make a licensed cobalt kinetics competition shooting gun and designed a magazine that drops out of the gun when empty. They seem ballsy but with CMs and ARPs everywhere they have consumer loyality so they might be one of the companies who can afford to R&D stuff.

Needs a white version covered in manga stickers.
it'l be covered in white when it arrives at the weebs house.
I hope it's using the G2 gearbox need more stop on empty guns.
I think most sites will ban it because of the "blade" trigger so seems a bit pointless.
