My other suggestions (based on the picture, so if you have it already done these things, you can ignore me ?) would be to get a few more mags for the AEG or get a high cap one that you can quickly refill in a game, I normally go through my two mid caps and resort to using my high cap (as you can normally just tip your bbs in them quickly). It can be a bit of a ballache to reload your midcaps in the middle of a game with the type of speedloader you are showing. I highly recommend footware with ankle support so you dont break a bone when you foot goes down a ditch or rabbit hole. ? You might find that mask fogs up too, so try and pre-treat it prior to the game with some cat crap (yes, a real thing haha) or some anti-fog solution/wipes, you'll find plenty of opinions on glasses, goggles, masks and anti-fog solutions on here. Ultimately though, as @EDcase says, if you are having fun, you are doing it right, so welcome to the world of airsoft, hope you enjoy it!

Unfortunately been quiet busy with the new house etc, plus winter is just depressing! Nearly over the finishing line, so plan on getting over to Ace on 24th April!

Depending on where you are you are based in "Staffs", another site for you to try out could be Ace Airsoft . I normally go with a few mates and usually see another forum member ( @strykerles ) there. 100% agree with this, I was a bit unsure when starting and did wonder how "clique(y)" people were at Airsoft, but the people I've met are very welcoming and you find yourself upholding this attitude when you see new guys joining. Don't forget, we are adults running around the woods with toy guns ?
-
I used them too (but for glasses not goggles), would rate them 100% I did do a loose review on them a while ago if you are interested @JoeH

Currently isolating as I've tested positive for the dreaded covid and decided to go through some of my cam footage of the very first time I played airsoft and it picked up a very glorious war cry....

Welcome to the forum buddy. Couldn't agree more with this, get yourself along and you'll be pissed you didnt do it sooner! -
Welcome to the forum buddy.

Welcome to the forum, I bet your bank account is already swearing at you again!
-
Boooooo, apparently though, there are "early signs that the crisis at pumps is ending" and hopefully all the idiots have gone by the weekend, so keep your ear to the ground!

I'm in the same boat, enjoying Alyx and Elite Dangerous (when I get time to play them, the joys of having young kids!) but been bouncing between phasmaphobia and pavlov when gaming with mates. I've got Onward on the wishlist too, but waiting for a decent price cut before I get it.

Looks like I've rallied another 5 people to go too ?

Usual bunch with one nomad and one noob!
-
Yep Can't stress this enough, your ankles will thank you later after you put your ankle down a ditch ?
-
Should get onto them! They should replace those controllers if you are having issues.
-
If you don't mind using a facebook account then I would recommend the Quest 2 is best for price (as a quest 2 user myself). Can be used standalone without a computer or you can just connect it to your PC witha USB cable (one long enough haha) and play your VR games from your steam library etc
-
Great stuff, hopefully you'll have a good game and get into it!

Welcome to the forum @Buck3131 Looks like you doing it the right way, rental first instead of "all the gear and no idea" I wouldnt worry about meeting up with anyone from here, I've found most people at games are approchable and some even let you have a feel and take a few plinks with their guns. (insert fast show "ooooohhhhhhh, suit you sir" here) While you are waiting for your first game, give @GAMBLE's channel a view, specially aimed towards to new players: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL-V_yVApaCpm096XBAQE1A/videos

Sure you can mention me, buddy. I'm 6ft 2, average build floating towards the dad bod, and I don't know if it's cuz I've hit mid 30s but I've noticed I've started to sweat more than a glassblowers arse while doing exercise! I've kept off the sugar loaded fizzy drinks, hence why the coke zero I took the following month did naff all! Would recommend the raspberry lucozade sport over the orange tho ??
-
One of the things I found during my first few games is that I was finishing the day with a headache, although I was packing litres of water away during the day and having lunch. Unfortunately water doesn't replace the electrolytes you use during the game and lose through sweating. I take a 4 pack of lucozade sport now, as they were my go to drink when I used to play football, finish the day headache free now!

Has anyone tried messaging @proffrink directly?

Helmet Cam For Personal Use, Does It Make Me A Nobber?
Brophy replied to Fatboy40's topic in General Discussion
I tried a cam once, but on a shoulder mount, it was crap, however it did manage to capture me doing quite an loud and aggressive fart to which a nearby team member turned around and was like "WTF was that?!" I'm in the same boat, I don't plan on uploading it anywhere or starting a youtube channel, just to capture some memories, so will probably try a head mount next time, I just don't fancy wearing a helmet ? -
The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Brophy replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
My first pew pew! Been playing with it in the garden and consistently doing 335fps on the chrono, hopefully it being an Ares I've got one of the rare ones that work ? You really do fall down a rabbit hole after buying your first gun...... batteries, chargers, sights, mags.... My bank looking at me like.... Good news is that I will get to skirmish it on the 12th Sept.
-
Finally settled on a gun, although not the one I first set my eye on.
I had my heart set on the specna arms edge E-11 but been out of stock for weeks with no foreseeable restock before my next game.
So went with the last Ares Amoeba AM-008 patrol base had in stock, and although I was looking to spend a bit more, at £145, I can't complain, as I plan of this being the one I tinker with when I buy more ?
Will be breaking it in at @Ace Airsoft War Games on the 12th September, so to the usual guys, see ya there ?

Maybe should have got a p90 @Rogerborg..... ?
Nah joking aside, I do plan on this being the one I piss about with and getting inside of, just one of my querks of being engineer ?
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see a post from me when I get a bit stuck.

Another great day at @Ace Airsoft War Games yesterday and the weather didnt seem to put a damper on things!
It was a special day for me yesterday, as it was my final game as a rental and while typing this out I just had my UKARA sent through... I don't think my bank account is going to be very happy with me this month.....
Also, shout out to @strykerles for bailing my brother out with a spare face mask on the day, appreciate it mate!
