Nothing wrong with being financially frugal, all the people "flexing on the Poors" can do one, having good financial sense and not getting into debt is a much bigger flex. Of the options referenced, the surefire ear plugs would be my go to, this is both on a budget and considering more expensive options. I won't do catterick again without ear pro (tag 67 frags are loud!) But the idea of even running sordins puts me off. I'll try my surefire ear plugs.

Personally, I'd say go for something better than Howard leights. They are great for the range, bit of clay pigeon shooting etc but the ambient noise (the ability to hear people near by) isn't good enough. Surefire do a range of ear plugs that are meant to be very good, so you can hear, chat etc but they protect against loud noises. Or look for some sordins or contacs. Yes they're more expensive but 1) any hearing damage is permanent 2) they will retain their value, if you decide to stop wearing them, you'll probably get your money back. 3) you'll hear more "tactically" and have a better experience. I tried Howard leights (had some already) and they just didn't cut it for me. I struggle with the sordins I have and they have some super powerful ambient noise amplification so you can hear more than without them.

The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Emergencychimps replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
Did the standard skirmish day at gunman tuddenham today with a mate, in previous years the after Xmas skirmish has seen over 100 players.....today started around 40 and dropped as the day progressed to around 20, which is super low for tuddenham. I loved the day though, pure skirmish great hit taking and sportsmanship. The games were different, used areas in ways I haven't seen them before and new to me games. For some reason, it all just clicked and the day felt like it was on easy mode. Some good positioning, lucky shooting and some blind luck just made everything go my way. Most fun day of airsoft for about 12-18 months. -
Not bought anything of substance from them, but I've been in their shop and the guy was very friendly, the range they had was pretty awesome and their prices seemed reasonable. I'd buy from them

So, imagine you're having a firefight with another player, 40-50 metres away, they have a a similar level of cover as you. They have effectively unlimited ammo from their 8 high cap magazines, you have 210 bbs before you are effectively are out of action. You're firing 3-4 single shot groups at them with a rifle that recoils....they are sending 20 bbs back in a single burst, every few seconds..... While the aeg user can fire continuously you have to stop every 35 bbs to change your mags, ensuring they're reindexed cause a dump pouch with that much weight will bounce around making movement hard. The noise from your rif is attracting the attention of other enemy players that are nearby, the noise of their aeg is barely detected by other players on your team. Everytime you change mags, you need to make sure you aren't double feeding, you need to ensure the bolt is forward....if the aeg player has to change mags, it's simple one out one in, very little to go wrong. Moving from position to position takes more effort from the weight of the mags (I'm comparing my mws to my recoils), crouching takes more effort etc. While your position is getting hammered with bbs, you're changing your mag, your admining your kit, you're keeping an eye out for other players you aren't focused on the guy shooting at you......all while you're his singular focus. Who is more likely to win that firefight? There's so much more to think about with a gbbr. I'm not knocking aeg users, I've had to sell my gbbr and only have aegs but it is like being on easy mode in comparison. It's such a different experience, but that's the great thing about the sport, we all play for our own reasons, some like to rack up kills, some like to snipe, some like the challenge of using a gbbr.

The mags are generally limited to 35-44 bbs (the mags contain gas, which power the gun), the mags are much heavier, so it's harder to carry a bunch of mags, so generally you have 5-6 mags at most, so your total amount of loaded bbs is 210 vs someone with a 400 round hicap or dudes rocking 5-6 250 round "midcap" magazine and the guns are louder, so it's easier to pinpoint where the gas gun user is. In addition to that, the performance varies based on the temperature, it's kinda easy for mags to vent all the gas which generally happens at the worst time and any recoil (some aegs recoil) is generally stronger, so aiming is harder. Why do people use them is probably what you're wondering.......the shooting of them is more enjoyable, feels more realistic, the recoil is nice, the constant mag changes is more realistic, the maintenance can be enjoyable and the sweet feeling of hitting a high cap hero etc while on "hard mode" is something else. I may have of got fewer "kills", but the overall experience was richer for it.

Sorry to hear this dude. Rough times, all the best and hope she kicks that shit disease in the arse. You generally maximise your cash selling seperately and it generally sells faster as well. If you just want it out the way and don't care about the cash, sell as a bundle.

There's always player churn, it just depends on how long the player is in for before they leave, one day we will all stop whether thats life, lack of passion for the game or death. There is generally as many or more that are joining the sport though. What I think is more painful is how much money people have wasted by poor adverts when they do, just letting it sit and rust etc......but then it's not my money.

MC is a solid choice for playing taskforce, most good guys accept it. A JPC is the standard, there is the JPC 1 and JPC 2. The JPC 2 is more modular, more expensive and you have to buy extra pouches (which isn't a bad thing). AVS is considered god mode but expensive, CPC is generally for heavy loads and there is the SPC which is getting a lot of love as well. All real versions are expensive £200 plus second and. TMC do very good clones - check out weapon762, find what you want then shop around. Best prices are imported, but then you wait, import fees etc. Ferro concepts do the FCPC which is the current trend one.....i suspect it wont be long until its something new (though it looks awesome. Spiritus systems do the l119 which I really like the look of. Helmet wise - PTS do a very god clone of the mtek flux which I think is incredibe quality and good if you have a bigger head, the FMA Aramid maritimes are then probably the next best clone. You can get legit ops core carbons for around £400 and Team wendy bump helmets at similar money. For comms, baofengs is the main handset, but will require a special ptt to work with real headsets, check out fivefivefour communications online and jci comms on instagram for options on headsets and ptts (they aren't cheap!). They have some weird hate thing for each other going on I believe. its' easy to spend silly money, get a good idea of specific requirements before parting with your cash. Nowadays, very few people do impressions (they do happen) but it's not like the old days. most just want realistic looking kit.

Endeavour tactical is the new big retailer, very nice stuff and the prices to match. Odin tactical has been about for a while but have some good stuff. Kit pest has just opened a bricks and mortar shop but he buys and sells high end kit. Legit kit is us based, has their own website and via eBay. Personally I'd avoid warrior assault kit. Its been pictured on one sas bloke about 15 years ago, it's very good copies of high end kit, it'll last ages etc but very little is an original design, most is just a heavy duty clone though. (It has been used more widely than the one bloke......but based on how was fans are you'd think that's all SF use). There's several Facebook groups (realsteal kit and accessories, private kit trading etc) A lot of second hand sales are now done via WhatsApp. For clone kit, TMC has really come along way and shouldn't be ignored. shekkin gear is worth considering too. Devt team 6 have a European store and stock some good clone stuff. Semapo came and then their quality quicky went downhill. Somogear peqs are the new standard (but not used much as nods are prolific at events) I will stress though, I did a lot of milsims for a few years (mainly with Stirling) and if you do opfor, you can get away with some cheap bdus,warm/wet gear and cheap (sensible) camping equipment. Some of the best opfor players used the same trousers and jacket at event weekend in and out, gardening gloves etc. The mindset is more important. If you've done milsims before, know that you want high end kit and want to avoid buying twice, go for it. If you haven't done events before, do 3/4 before you spend too much. It can be done surprisingly cheaply.

There were elements about urban assault that I loved.....mainly their night games. The buildings were just a bit to far from each other to suppress from one building to another and there was next to no cover on between buildings. Led to lots of frustration, cheat calling and generally after lunch game play was not great. Whether that was from a frustrating morning or the after lunch sugar slump I don't know. The weird cliques on site weren't fun either. Miss ucap the sandpit, epic site. Found the skirmishes there didn't maximize the site but my god, Stirling games with the boats etc were epic.

I did some serious low balling! I can easily believe £9-12k for everything listed. If you're not in need of the money fast, definitely sell off individually or smaller sensible chunks where possible. You'll end up with more cash, the items will be to people who will actually use them (and some aren't easy to find), much better than giving a chunk to a middle man. Personally, I have never dealt with kit pest (he's just about the only person I know of who might be able to take on so much high end kit for flipping), he seems nice enough on a WhatsApp group I'm in and his prices don't seem terrible, but no idea what he pays for kit, could be pence on the pound.

Really need help with something silly!
Emergencychimps replied to Yashy's topic in General Discussion
I run a set up you might find interesting/useful. It's a modern ops core helmet, the carbon so it has vents in it for ventilation. I then connect my mesh face mask to the top of the chin strap from the helmet, around where my temples are using the s binder type carabineers. This means it's effectively free floating in front of my face. I then use the strap that is meant to go around the head hold it on so that it goes round the back of neck, pulling it close into my face. Means there is minimal contact with my face, mouth and nose coverage and with a higher mount, can still see down my red dot (use a clone of the scalar 1.93, though the clones of the unity style are even higher). -
You've got a great range of kit that a quick add up is over £7k (and that was low balling some areas). If your goal is to sell it fast, my suggestion would be to split it into smaller chunks and sell it at lower than achievable prices. Finding a buyer who wants all of that and has the readies is going to be hard. I'd suggest taking all the high end kit to kit pest, Google him, he buys and sells high end kit. You won't get top dollar, but he'd probably take it all and you'd get the money quick. Then list the rifs and nods separately. If you want to maximize the money, sell it all separately, it'll take longer, but you'll end up with a lot more cash. As a job lot, you're really limiting your buyers and most serious buyers will buy it to sell on the majority of the kit, so you'll have to allow for them to have a chunky margin.

This is the Emerson clone of the awesomely popular uw gen4 chest rig, 4 mag pouches. 2 utilities, 2 radio/water bottle and 4 pistol mag/multi tool pouches. I removed all but 1 of the retaining cords and used it with kydex insert. 4 are included for the mags, 3 are great and ones a bit crab looking, but it works. Have also modded the waist strap so there's a section that's elasticated, allows it to flex when breathing hard, but still thing so it doesn't shuffle about. Great rig, but surplus to needs now. £50 posted in the UK. Any questions please ask.£50

This is a we Glock 17 gen 4 mos. It comes with 1 green gas mag and 1 cos mag. It also comes with a spares and repairs CO2 mag. It has 3 different mounting plates, the original fake "red dot", required bolts. Installed are the tall irons, but the standard height irons are available and easy to install. It also comes with a Kydex customs Glock mag holder, the belt mounting tek lok broke. I used some zip ties temporarily for a couple of games but there's no point not including it. I stippled it, it's an ok stippled job but each to their own. The reality is that I just don't use a pistol enough to carry one in game or own it, I think Price is £90 all in. Any questions, please ask.£90

The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Emergencychimps replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
Did the Halloween game at Gunman Tuddenham this weekend, it was a night game and wow, I don't think I have ever seen a company put more effort into an event, let alone for just a 3 hour event. Around 70 players on site for it. They had: A pre game story A pre game video An aliens style egg/nest room Multiple alien face huggers 2 Fully dressed up, masked up Predators with appriate props, spears, skulls and spinal cords etc 2 Fully dressed up Xenomorphs A small (5 people I think) crew of space marines, with pulse rifles, those mounted machine guns things (not sure their real name), armour helmets, light over the shoulder etc. Also they shouted out appropriate lines from the movies as they got stuck into contacts. A set piece including the space marines unwelding a door with props A Predator hide/ritual room with "skinned" victims outside. Pretty darn good hit taking for a night game. Multiple prop signs Appropriate sound effects based on whether it was alien or predator. Custom software interface to get mission objects (which failed on the night, but the effort!) A motion sensor scanner prop And during all of this they wove in 4 Objective based games which were thoroughly enjoyable all on their own. I'd strongly recommend checking out gunmans instagram to see images of what they did. -
This. This is exactly what I did. The cost of an mws and mags vs a tm mp7 and mags makes the mp7 seem like a great alternative. When getting into gas guns and it is.....however most people still have that mws itch and eventually get one, the mp7 then become redundant or sold to help with raising funds. What people should know is both a great gas guns, very different but both are awesome.
