How about this one?? https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-hardshell-jacket/63642
Varusteleka is always a good website to browse, they might also have some decent surplus stuff that might fit your needs.

More realistically, bipods, because very few airsoft pews are capable of actually benefiting from having them fitted and they are otherwise dead weight. Although i suppose for some aesthetics is worth the penalty.
Bought a cheap 2nd hand bipod for my (soon to be) DMR. Played with it for 2 games before I took it off again. Was more of a distraction than a bonus.
Looked very tacti-cool tho...2 hours ago, Tiercel said:Gonna have to ask for a source here, that's hilarious!
I've got a mate with a 3D printer so I might ask him for a favour in exchange for some cans soon.
I'm just gonna, eventually, end up with all of these picatinny mounts on one horrible rifle, aren't I? -
As the title suggest, what are the best horrible accesoires you've seen for anything related airsoft? (Think that picatinny mount nutsack).
Pictures related.

Hence why I stick to bog-standard M4's for now (gonna try my hand at upgrading soon tho) so I should be able to repair/replace anything that breaks.
As for anything outfit wise: I don't care if anything happens to it, I'm there to roll in the mud (really opens up those pores) and get dirty/scratched. I'm not a big fan of having kit that still looks unused/new. Hell, lot of the stuff comes from army surplus stores anyway so it already looks used and sometimes has visible repairs.

Looks like this could be fun.
Have to see if I can make it that day. -

Oi oi Berkshire guys.
I can also recommend Red Alert.
Wycombe Skirmish is okay, but I find Red Alert marshals a lot more attentive to the game. Having said that I've not played at Skirmish in nearly 2 years so it could well have improved.
I went to Skirmish for the first time in about a year yesterday. They have a load of new marshals who do seem more on-point.

After about a year-long hiatus I had my first game again yesterday, at Skirmish High Wycombe and I definitely enjoyed it.
The site has changed a bit since my last visit, although mainly the safety zone, with more covered tables (but thankfully I stayed dry yesterday), a better food joint in a separate container (their bacon baps are great and bigger than expected, I almost had some struggle finishing both).It seems they have a few more marshals walking around now who are, thankfully, a bit older. From what I remember from a year ago, most of the marshals were quite young (some not even 18) which meant they didn't really have the (figurative) dick'n'balls to stand out over some of the rougher clientele. These new marshals were very good and didn't take crap from anyone.
Even tho it stayed dry all day, the field was quite soggy and muddy, but that seems to be the norm there
My highlights of the day were:
- Everyone doing their best to avoid a massive muddy patch to not get their shoes dirty.
- That same muddy patch having the objective, so there was no choice but to go through it if you wanted to win
- Coming over a hill and see a group of (opposing) rentals looking somewhere else and spraying the whole lot of them (about 15M distance so no need to feel sorry for them).
- Seeing the same group of rentals refusing to push the same flank for the rest of the battle and always attacking the other flank instead.
- Getting called a cheater by one guy on the opposite team who complained to the marshal about me not taking my hits.
- Another marshal standing close to me most of that game and noticing I accepted every hit I recieved (and even told me that I wasn't shot in the back but that it was a ricochet so I could stay where I was after I put my hand up).
- Seeing someones rifle stick out behind a barricade and hitting it from at least 35M distance. (Not that my aim is that great, I fired half a mid-cap that way. Worth it!)

i'd give you an expected lifetime for the og m12, but mine hasn't broken yet.....
for context i bought mine before the clones hit the market....
only reason I bought a clone was ebcause I couldn't find the original anywhere, did 2 events with it and hated it. handle fell off before the first game, made a new one, but the amount of grinding noise and plastic dust was quite off-putting. this one actually feels solid and not cheaply made.
we have a saying in Dutch that goes "goedkoop is duurkoop" and it basically means that buying cheap stuff is more expensive in the long run -

The RIF and scope I already had.
But I bought the Mlok to RIS rail, the foregrip, flash-hider witch quick detach suppressor, kneepads and belt.
The problem is that the flashhider slides over your barrel for about an inch, guess who didn't notice, and also guess whose barrel is slightly to big in diameter for the flash-hider to fit, and thirdly: guess who has access to a lathe at work so doesn't really mind this at all.
Lastly I bought a Nuprol bipod last gameday (not pictured) which now lives at the front of my RIF

Had a good day at Skirmish Wycombe with @Barny and @snuff.
fun games, all though it does feel like the teams were a bit uneven.I definately still love my RIF, got quite a good amount of kills with it, even at longer distance.
There were some account of non-hit taking, but nothing I could get to bummed about.
During the last game a fight almost broke out between two players about taking, or not taking, hits. one guy dropped his RIF and started taking his vets off. Luckily I was standing closeby, shouted at them and got between them before they got any close and managed to make them act like adults (at least for as long as they're on the field, after that it's not my problem anymore)
I think some words were spoken between the two groups later (probably not very friendly ones) but both parties did eventually go home without anything serious happening.I like Skirmish, good big site, and even tho every gameday has roughly the same games every time (the good part is that you get more and more experience on the field and will find out what good tactics are). The marshalls are good, altho today, with the rowdy players, it became clear that they're maybe all a bit too young still (I think they're late teens to early 20's) so when everyone behaves themselves not a problem, but when idiots want to start shit they don't have the experience to adequately handle the situation.
it didn't put a damper on my day tho. Most of the day was good, not gonna let 5 minutes destroy my mood.
also a plus(-ish), for lunch there was lasagne (with chips which I think is an odd combo, but hey) normally I'm not big into pasta but I was quite hungry so managed to eat something anyway. still a bit of an unexpected luxury. and Skirmish is now also offering breakfast in the mornings (before 10) haven't tried it but cool that they do it. -
Cranking handle on my speedloader changed its mind about being a cranking handle for a speedloader.
So I made a new one on the lathe out of some spare brass stock.
Annoyingly I did find some pre-made metric screws, but I couldn't find the metric tap and die set. So I made both a new screw as well as the handle using BA thread. Added some superglue on the thread for good measure.

I had a good day at Skirmish Wycombe last Saturday.
My 3rd game with my own RIF, still in love with it.
I don't really have any memorable anecdotes. Just had a good day skirming.
Got some compliments at the end of the day tho, saying that I'm a good player so that was fun to hear ✌🏻

I was very close to become a watchmaker (and am now working as a clockmaker for a big London Museum).
Aside from a £15,- watch I use at airsoft, I have 3 watches, 2 from Argos that cost me £10,- and £15,- respectively and which I use to make sure all the clocks are on time, and a good mechanical watch I don't usually wear.
As I work with some very old and probably quite valuable clocks and watches on a daily basis, I don't really care about owning expensive watches, I'd love to own a Patek Philippe some day, but maybe after I've won the lottery (and then first stop myself from buying a better car and spending the rest on RIF'S)

Taiwangun do wholesale to other sellers, and shipments seem to have been all over the place recently, so I guess retailers will source whatever they can, wherever they can.
Pfff, tell me about it, I'm struggling to find a scope protector or decent speedloader. Guess I'll just deal with what I have now

AFAIK, Partizan is NOT a pattern, but a uniform cut (an oversuit in particular), the pattern is SS (Leto: summer, the one pictured, and (no fucking clue) for winter/autumn)
https://camouflage.fandom.com/wiki/Partizan
Turns out it is an actual pattern.
I had to google it as well tho.
Cool camo tho, not alpenflage cool, but still cool. At least this works outside of autumn

At my last game there was one guy who constantly got teamkilled.
He had a red two-tone and we were on team blue (vs team red).
