What about Generation Kill? 

Oh this could be very interesting! If nothing else, to benchmark the real world accuracy of the average airsoft rif. I, and I suspect many others, are possibly guilty for the Internet, you tube, and airsoft mate driven nonsense of "this gun here, and indeed all my guns, shoot like absolute lasers" nonsense. With the result of coming from such interactions feeling a little inadequate in terms of teching skills or our armouries capabilities.

This seems an option, thanks! I'd not come across them before. Still a touch on the pricy side, but might be a go'er.
 
I am rather wedded to the 'proper' external knee pad sections, as my knees are made of cheese these days. I had a look on eBay for the genuine crye stuff, but sadly it's multicam or nothing (I should have mentioned that I generally go for anything but).
Yes, years ago I actually went to the trouble of unpicking the knee pad sections of some arktis trousers and restitching them lower onto the leg. The joys of life before kids when I had such time to burn!

Civvy UKSF gear and KS-1 Build finished (I think 😂) 
 
 

We did the same in Afg with knee pads - just a convenient way to store it, when not wanting it in place on the joint. Heat, sweat, sand and tight elastic straps makes them mega uncomfortable if worn on the knee all the time.

My son wanted to play this thing ‘Airsoft’ that I never heard of before. He told me that I have to play 3 times and then gift him a RIF. At first I was against it but he convinced me to try it out.
I’ve enjoyed it and we’ve been going every month since. My relationship with my son has improved dramatically. Before we didn’t have much in common and now we talk Airsoft, equipment all the time (much to my wife’s annoyance 😉
 
So I would try to approach your dad from that angle. As Dan already said there are lots of Dad&Son combos on the field. I thought I would be far too old for this but I’ve seen lots of grey middle aged (and older) men out there.
 
 

Excellent! Thanks for the help.

My WE G17 fits the knock off "WBD 6354 DO Holster" with absolutely 0 issues.

Bungee? Or the hood adjustment cord? 

100% agree, on not putting drinks powder etc. in your waterbottle or camelbaks. Only ever had clean water in mine, and never had any problems. 

A quick aside about drinks and cooking. 
 
  At least one on my canteens or bottles is good for hot liquids.
  Not necessarily metal or useable for boiling but so I can keep and excess hot water.
  
  I also carry a plastic or silicon cup to mix any drinks in. I find putting flavourings or powder in your water bottle makes them go “yucky” quicker.


 
 
  Clear bottles, a bottle brush and denture cleaner tabs are your friend for sorting this. 😁

In the interest of transparency, order arrived this weekend, and it’s spot on perfect.
Just lack of communication and tracking numbers was worrying.
defiantly direct from Ali Express, but don’t care as only one that the same on Ali Express costs more than I paid

I have a niggling urge to learn more about the glock series of pistols, a sure sign that my next purchases will be a few glocky things, I've always known there were several in the series but is each one available as an airsoft pew?
Unlikely to use any in game so it's more about starting & completing a collection for me, is a complete collection possible?

It finally arrived from China and I’ve setup a makeshift shooting range in the attic.
I’ve used a Gusto box for the target with a small window in the hope that it would catch the bbs but you would need something a lot deeper than that. The BBs were bouncing back everywhere.
 
The actual device looks solid. The front seems metal or a very sturdy plastic. 
The app is a bit limited. It basically just offers two modes - sequential and random.  With sequential all targets pop up at once and they stay down until you have hit all or you have random mode where the targets pop up randomly (but not with a random delay).
 
The added light is nice. We’ve switched off the lights and did some shooting.

 
I think the app is letting the target down a bit. It should have random start delays with a beep when it starts and it should have an optional random delay with bringing up the targets (in random mode).
 
I’ve added a close up of the target after about 50-70 hits. You can see some small dents but I recon the target will last a while. You can by replacement targets for it or you could make them yourself. They just screw into the hinge. I guess you could make the target smaller if you want.

 
The target taught me a few things so far
I am rubbish at shooting pistols (only tried with pistols so far) Fiber optic iron sights don’t do anything when it is really dark (time to buy a red dot for my aap 😉 The target needs to be recessed a lot further to catch more BBs. One target is not enough, you will need at least 3 to make it more fun (in random mode) BBs don’t survive hitting metal things, I’ve had a lot of shattered BBs lying around. Always wear Eyepro! They will come back to you but not with force.

Expect more questions. 😁

Hi,
 
I am thinking of setting up a small Airsoft shooting range in the loft and was looking for bluetooth targets that can give you timing and pop up randomly.
I can see that there are basically 2 options, the Eshooter Serenity 2 (£59 on PatrolBase) or the WoSporT Target (you can get it from around £45 from AliExpress - a few sites are selling it in the UK but only in a set with 3 targets + tracer + control unit for about £190).
Both have phone apps to control them. 

Given that the WoSporT is £15 cheaper than the Serenity 2 I am tempting to go with that one (you can have up to 32 targets but I am only aiming for 3 at the moment).
 
Has anyone used one of these? Can you have random start times?

Btw. There is now a Novritch bluetooth target as well but that can only give you timing, it doesn’t pop up randomly and costs in the same range as the serenity one.

Put on your most seductive voice, and ask them what they're wearing.

Just seen this. Was expecting S&T to put this out for some time. Interesting to see how it compares to the Ares No4.  

My thought was that maybe he promised his wife that he'd sell it all, but didn't really want to let it go.
