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! -

Usual bunch with one nomad and one noob!

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?

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!

Booked in at @Ace Airsoft War Games on the 4th of July, which means I can finally get my UKARA number sorted!
Anyone else booked up for then?

The 'What have you just bought' Thread

So after buying strapped knee pads that keep sliding down and pissing me off, I realised that I had the pouches on my camo to place knee and elbow pads, they came yesterday and couldnt be happier with them. Get the try them out next weekend
-
Was good meeting up with you buddy! Hopefully the knee gets on the mend for next time!
-
Cheers mate. Was gonna go 2k but holding off new screen and new gfx card (cuz no one can get a hold of them atm) cuz I'm sorting my UKARA and obviously will need the moolah for "new toys" ?
-

CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X (Running at 4Ghz) w/ Cooler Master ML240L RGB AIO GPU: Zotac GTX 1080Ti Mini (11GB) Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 32GB 3600MHz (Running at 3600MHz too) Currently only game at 1080p and the res of the Quest 2 when doing VR (seem to be doing more VR these days than normal gaming).
