Sorry to bump a month old one but it's about tools and I like tools. ? Grab yourself a decent set of wire strippers too, if you're doing a few connections. I have some rs ones that have survived about 10 years. I'll dig out the number in a bit. It's better than using side cutters (although I'm a sparky, so still use them a lot) and makes sure your 1.5mm cable is still 1.5 and not 1.3ish when you accidentally stri off strands. ?

Ooh, that's interesting. Glad you posted this as its about 2 miles from where I live (near brands hatch). Might look it up. ? Thanks.

Well. It's been eventful! R4 is dead. Tappet snapped and they appear to be held by unicorns as they're quite difficult to find... The boy now has an m4 variant (340ft/s out if the box!) and the honey badger now at 351ft/s. Yay! Took him and two of his mates yesterday to apocalypse airsoft in Maidstone and I think they now have the bug too!! Boy had a bit of a moment when the smoke he was pulling got caught on his glove and burned his finger but they sorted him out and he's still as enthusiastic as ever! I may have inadvertently purchased an m58b shotgun while I was there too, you know, "just for emergencies"... ??

Well, we did it. Spent the day running around like nutters and shooting people ? I'm knackered but what a laugh. Honey badger needs a bit more oomph and I'd get more kills throwing my pistol at people rather than actually shooting it at them.?? Game, as they say ON. ??

Cheers for the warm welcome guys. Much appreciated. Have landed a cheap and cheerful mp7 (R4?) by accident, that needs new batteries so job 1 will be looking at the utterly massive world of what will fit and what not to get. ? I'm an engineer so taking things to bits is the easy bit. ? The amount of firing my boy was doing at our first skirmish I think I'm going to need to strip a tesla. ? @gamble just subbed. That chair looks comfy ?

OK, so 47 years and excessive pies have put me off doing it but after my youngest got hooked, then father /son hobby was born... I genuinely don't have a clue. Lol. I've got a mate who is really into it and I'm learning what I can so I don't look like a complete noob, just a partial one... ? Going to do a few rentals before buying something interesting too. I will be annoying, asking random questions that have been asked before (must search first!). Hope to pull the right ideas from your experiences. Er, "game on" ?
