The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Madhouse replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Tracer (and 16mm adapter) for the pistol I don’t have yet.

Good sites in the Bristol area?
Madhouse replied to Skullchewer's topic in Skirmish Sites, Stories & Reviews
Anyone been to Bristol Airsoft? mid-week games work best for me and now my super-local Z-mart aren't doing them anymore I need to find somewhere new to get my fix. Bristol Airsoft seem to run games all through the week which would make fitting it into the diary much easier, but it'd be good to know what it's like before driving the hour there. The other option (also an hour) is Strikeforce CQB. -
Gutted. Was off to Z-mart again tonight, but Thursday games have been cancelled for the foreseeable.
Midweek games are so much easier for me to work in around all the stuff the kids do too.
(No, they’re not old enough to go yet).

Think we can all relate! In fact I think I've spent as much on rifle/pistol accessories than I will the actual RIFs themselves 😂

I don’t have the talent to artificially age something without it looking naff, so am very much in the camp that says to let it wear naturally. Although I’m also in the camp that says it’s your kit, do what you like to it!

Burner PAYG SIM that you/he pays for separately. PAYG as if/when it gets found you won't be using it again any time soon, but at least being a SIM it's small enough to keep in a wallet or stash somewhere. Obviously you'll have to deal with the fallout if it goes pear-shaped but I guess you know that already.

Any recommendations for a holster? Plan is to get an FNX-45 when the UKARA happens, got a Nuprol NX300 light from a mate to go with it, so need something compatible with that.
So far I have a list of one - the DC5.

Good suggestions there, think the Deadly Customs one has it at the moment, I like the idea of the release on the Blackhawk one but if I’m running a tracer and a light the DC one is pretty much the only option.
Only problem now is that DC also do a belt with mag carriers and you can get them wrapped … and then it’s like ‘ohh, that looks nice’ …….. could spend more on the belt than the pew it’s meant to carry!

Omnivore bottom need some cutting regarding tracers I think but I'm not sure if I would do it by myself it's not cheap and you can't send it back it if it's butchered.
Kydex type holsters could offer you a solution but for tracer space you may pay premium and to my knowledge kydex wears your slide faster than anything else.
If you don't insist on a flashlight warrior systems ultimate holster could be a cheaper alternative but drawing isn't the best (I own one and you can't grab the grip properly while you draw it you have to readjust your palm on the pistol).
Cheapest solution is a gun clip style holster from patrolbase but FNX-45 trigger is very different in style compared to a Glock/AAP-01 so I'm not sure if it's gonna be compatible. TTI Trigger wasn't so I had to send it back. -
Thanks for the info, hadn’t thought about slide wear but I guess with TM’s being plastic I probably should.
Chatting to a mate this morning and he uses a trigger guard holster similar to this:

Tempting for the versatility as any light/tracer combo will work.

Upgrading G&G Armament Combat Machine CM16 Raider
Madhouse replied to Kirandesmond's topic in General Help
No idea, so I googled it: Linky You might need a new barrel depending on what your plans are. -
For new players add a quid or two to a rental price and include a couple of litres of water. Anyone playing their fourth game should be aware of the physicality and their hydration needs. It's a sales opportunity for a site though, buying water by the pallet's relatively cheap (15p/bottle) so if you sold it as low as 50p you'd still make a healthy margin, added bonus is you get an extra pallet to make defences/obstacles/seats out of.

Between injury & life my third game at my local site will be a full 13 and a bit months since my first. Just messaged them about UKARA, fingers crossed they're ok with it, if not I'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Certainly does @Druid799!
That was my thinking @Lozart but they seem to want the three games inside a year - their site, their rules. I don't mind if that means I have to wait an extra month or two and I'm not gonna kick up a fuss as I don't want to be 'that guy' and quite frankly there's bigger things to worry about .... like what pew to get and whether it's in stock anywhere 😂

Glad you both enjoyed it, sounds like you had a cracking experience 👍

Thanks for the link, might just get me one of them!

Hi & welcome! No idea on where's good near you but that site's pretty useful. Yes lots of us have our own kit but for your first time I'd recommend decent footwear, gloves and clothing that covers your skin (long sleeves/trousers) depending on the protection the site offer maybe a hat too. If you like it then you can start building your kit up, get your UKARA and then fondly remember what having money was like before you spent it all on RIFs and camo 😂

There are still good people in the sport !
Madhouse replied to Druid799's topic in General Discussion
Plenty of good people out there, they just tend to fly under the radar as it's always the chancers that get talked about. Looks like you got a good deal there and sounds like you are rightfully pleased with it too! Glad you took the time to give the good guy some airtime, it's good for all of us to know there's still decent people out there and that maybe, just maybe, every seller you come across isn't actually trying to pull a fast one. -
Helmet Cam For Personal Use, Does It Make Me A Nobber?
Madhouse replied to Fatboy40's topic in General Discussion
😂 we neeed to see this!! Didn't think anyone gave a monkeys about cameras nowadays. Filming's even made it into a few briefings to check if people have objections, there are potential safeguarding issues with under 18's and the occasional random that thinks that by videoing them you're destroying their soul. -
From experience - nothing that's expensive to fix. That said I've a rescue edition G-Shock in the drawer that needs a new battery, maybe that'll be my Airsoft watch 🤔

Welcome! Always nice to see a fellow Cornishman 👋

If there's a waterproof version of what you have then that's the safest bet. Bear in mind that all boots & waterproof socks have a hole in them (the bit you put your foot in) so it's also worth making sure there's a good overlap with your trousers or you have gaitors. If it's been raining then brushing against long grass & undergrowth will be where a lot of the water will be coming from. I also use waterproof socks for mountain biking. They're great up to the point the water starts running down your leg, at which point the sock fills with water. Yes it's warm, but you do realise that while they don't let water in, they also don't let it out. Essentially waterproof socks are a more expensive version of sticking your foot in a plastic bag before you put your boots on. Personally I have some waterproof boots.

Ignite Tactical. Not an overly imaginative name change. It's definitely the same guy, while the site isn't overly forthcoming with contact details or company info, the privacy policy contains our good friend George's name and address at the bottom of it. So either they're changing the name and are going to be Xtreme Tactical trading as Ignite Tactical which is perfectly fine ...... or ....... they're setting up to liquidate the former and replace it with the latter. There is no mention of Xtreme on the Ignite page, so the evidence suggests that history is about to repeat itself. Yes, the system is flawed and that is why we need to look out for this kind of stuff so that people don't get ripped off. It's up to banks etc to do their due diligence , if it's something we can do as a community pretty quickly then they should have no problem finding out the same info. That said, as BIGShow knows/is Mr Gibbons/Quantum Tactical/Xtreme Tactical/Ignite Tactical then he has had the opportunity to fill us in of the details of what actually happened to the last company and why SIG optics are no longer for sale - if we are so wrong in our conclusions then this is the perfect place to set us straight. However, judging by the previous outbursts and pretending to be someone else, I don't think it'll happen and if it does it's likely to be as honest as a cheque from Quantum Tactical.

Guy at my local CQB often just uses two pistols. Even the marshals say a pistol is all you really need.

Not quite. It's a classic move of closing down one company and continuing to trade under a new name, it clears the debts as they're unsecured and in the name of the previous Ltd company. Just means it costs the rest of us more in fees as the likes of Lloyds and Paypal aren't going to want to be out of pocket in the long run. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to why they'd owe Paypal so much.

Seeing as I had five minutes spare: Xtreme Tactical Ltd was incorporated on 19th February 2020, George is a Director. Prior to that he was a Director of Quantum Tactical UK Ltd (formerly Rifle Optics UK Ltd) between April 2017 and September 2018 and then again from November 2019 until it went into liquidation on 4th March 2020 with debts of £55,514.36 (£23,943.55 to Lloyds and the rest to Paypal). In the period between the two directorships the company was run by Paul, with the same surname as the aforementioned George. There was also a brief flirtation with Extreme Electronics Ltd but they must've decided against that as the company was struck off the register.

Hello & welcome! Our eldest is 10 so looking at taking him to a game soon - he’s desperate to go!

Surely retinal burning comes at the higher lumens? I spend a lot of time mountain biking in the dark and judging by the impact of when mates look round and forget their head torch is on, anything over 1000 should do that nicely. But more is probably better in this case.
