There's no such thing as too many guns, despite what the mrs might say

I usually carry 10 100 round mid caps for my kurtz but I've never used more than 5 in a game. However, I have played skirmish gameswith just a gbbr with 2 mags and a speed loader and managed to do ok, you just have to adjust your style of playing. As others have posted, stick to hit and run tactics and avoid drawn out firefights. As a side note I've always thought the mag capacity doesn't make the player. A perfect example was many years ago when I was a newbie in the game, some twat in the safezone started mouthing off calling me a high cap hero etc (wierd as he was basically the only one not using high caps) . I asked him how many rounds he was carrying and it turned out it was the same as me, just in more mags. At the end of the next gane he's gobbing off about how he was down to just his pistol so i decided to politely show him the 2 full mags I had left. He didn't talk to me for the rest of the evening

Seconded re mechanix gloves. I'd always used the cheap acm gloves with the "carbon fibre" hard knuckles, but found they wore out quickly (I didn't just use them for airsoft). Then earlier in the year I picked up a pair of mechanix fast fit gloves and the difference is clear as they're hardly worn. Obviously they don't offer the same level of protection as the hard knuckle ones but what makes up for it is far better dexterity in my fingers

Get some gloves as knuckle shots bloody hurt

I've never understood the logic behind putting lubricant on something which works by friction. I would've thought it would play havoc with your hop up

Go on, do it. You know you want to

Pmsl. I can use a hammer and duct tape, does that make me an airsoft technichun?

Not a joke but this reminded me of earlier posts https://news.sky.com/story/southend-united-to-hold-talks-with-sponsor-over-gilbert-and-rose-west-stand-12664861

The best response to some twat at the back screaching for others to push up was from a mate. The screamer was some kid who thought being a cadet made him Geral Patton, and said mate picked him up by the straps on his webbing, carried him forward 10 yards and unserimoniously dumped him on the floor, before telling him to move up.

Two old grannies were sat on a park bench when a flasher jumped out of the bushes. It was such a shock that one had a stroke but the other had arthritis so couldn't reach

Some good tips here

This is a great example of why good fieldcraft will always beat a good camouflage. Really anything in dark greens and browns will do so get whatever pattern you like the look of Edit. I tend to be in tigerstripe or dpm in summer and mtp or att in winter

Well we all know about the last piece of shit who thought a tacticool Thompson was a good idea

Seconded. I learned this the hard way, I picked up a JG SL8 and just had the tappet plate cut to disable full auto. It lasted half a game before the gearbox locked up If you're really wanting a full auto back up then this is a good idea. Another advantage is that it won't suffer cool down like a gbb.

Nor me, it's quite easy to pick up appropriately rated eye protection cheaply if you shop around

What rating are they?

From the quick skim though that link I did that was one of the issues

Didn't glock go after after some US stores a few years ago for selling GBB glock replicas with trademarks? Edit: they did. https://airsoft-milsim-news.com/glock-wins-lawsuit-against-airsoft-splat/

Edit: to avoid this being a spam post I'd better mention the acrylic paint pens I picked up for numbering mags and doodling on my bfgs

Fixed At the end of the day if you're happy with your kit then that's what matters. Let's face it, our gear is really nothing more than a fancy dress costume and having the latest gucci gear won't instantly turn you into Captain Price or Jason Bourne. Also I'm sure most airsofters have cupboards full of kit they bought and never use

This. It's got to be better than some of the other bullshit defences accepted by some retailers

What I meant to put in my earlier post was that many of us old gits have seen these alternatives come and go Project Luther appeared about 10 years ago and the people behind it were claiming it was an all singing and dancing alternative to ukara run "by players for players". Iirc it died when people realised it did nothing that ukara didn't do, but you had to pay an annual fee
