Brophy

Hi, ALL! 👋
My First review and thoughts on the Type 85 Chicom rig? 🤔
Nothing on YouTube about it so far…. 🤪
Doing the best with what I have, enjoy it for what it is! 🔫😎👍
💷GAMBLE💷 
 
 

Welcome Duzum,
 
It doesn't have to cost an arm & leg to get into but of course it depends how far you jump into the shredder 😁
 
My 2p worth adding to what Brophy said...
 
1) Yes, it is a bit more costly to rent first but it will save you lots in the long run.
It'll help you get a feel for the game and what gun style you'll want. M4, AK, long, short, etc.
And you'll certainly get to try other weapons people have.
If you buy anything before having UKARA it will be painted a bright colour (two-tone)  If you then want to get rid of it, it will be worth less and harder to sell.
 
- AEG definitely the easiest and arguably most effective system.  You can get AEGs with recoil for more realistic feel but obviously more expensive.
- Gas is the most realistic in operation and feel but more expensive to purchase and run.  Can be problematic in Winter.  But the big downside is you can't carry as much ammunition as an AEG with high capacity magazines.  You will be at a disadvantage in a firefight.  Gas guns (GBBRs) are more practical in a MilSim game where there is more emphasis on realism and more people use them.
- Co2 From my experience with a Co2 pistol. Expensive to run (including fixing leaks).  Can't top-up on gas when low.  Often shoot hot and hard to adjust power.  To me not worth the hassle.
- No experience of HPA but not a fan because some get into it for stupid rates of fire 🙄
 
2) Outdoor (woodland) uses more tactics and teamwork.  Allows for a wider range of gameplay from camping sniper (hate em 😏),  sneaky assaults to full on charges.
Not tried indoors (CQB) yet but from videos it looks fun though seems to often be starwars style shooting down corridors in stalemate.  Faster gameplay with more emphasis on sprinting to get advantageous positions.
 
3) Check HERE then look up reviews of places near you.
 

Should of emptied the mag just to be sure he got him. 

Ta very much, though I can't take credit for the vast majority of the work for fitting things. Let's just say if it was a girl I'd say they were 'bubbly'.
 
 

😂 Love it.

Welcome to the forum dude.
 
First thing I would say before you look at the gun side of things, get some decent eye protection and some decent boots with ankle support.
 
1. Ideally, you would want to pick a site and go "rental" until you get your UKARA, this is what I did, this will expose you to the electric platform, which is the most common and hopefully you'll see a few guys there with co2 and hpa, most people are happy enough for you to take a look and have they odd shot with their stuff. (Thanks @strykerles   )
 
2. You are right, its a preference thing, I've always done outdoors and prefer the vast size of the game zone, but will probably take a look at the CQB side over the shit weather / winter.
 
3. Can't comment on that, as I'm midland based, but you can have a search on the forum to see if anyone has left any game site reviews until someone commments about it.

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 😂

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.
 

Dont worry, I sent it back so it’s safe!
 
Couldn’t find the thread for ‘what-have-you-just-un-bought’ 😂

Police need to be equipped with fully automatic woodchippers.  We need a Woodchipper Pride Month, I already have a flag in mind.
 

 
I hope, I really hope, that they look into whoever sold the nonce that RIF and do them for it if they don't have a rock solid defence.  And when I rant about AirsoftWorld and Fat Bobs selling to anyone who asks without a real defence, this is why.

For personal use no. What would make you a nob would be acting like you think you're the next Stanley Kubrick and starting a shitty youtube channel, then spamming social media begging for likes and subscribers 

Just gave mine its once a year deep clean.

And we know that the laws don't make much sense when you could go and buy an airgun that looks identical with nothing more than a bit of ID, but we are where we are.  We generally recommend renting for 3 games (over a period of at least 8 weeks) to get a UKARA defence, but if you don't want to wait, buying two-tone is a viable option. 

Welcome to the forum, hopefully see you soon at anzio

Triggered!
