I think that this is effectively just so CPS can charge for (more) offences if someone gets a two-tone and paints it and uses it in an armed robbery/aggravated burglary.

I always love the look of matching trousers and carrier/rig. I fuck with the setup, dude.

I've treated myself to some Vans MTE-2s in the January sales, some decent savings on them. They're more trainer style and I've hard a lot of good things

That looks neat as hell. Kinda reminds me of the WA2000, albeit a bit more modernised. I always loved that rifle...

Unfortunately there aren't any M1.8s there. I'm not entirely sure that the screw was measured correctly at the fasteners I took it to, so I'm going to go to another one on Monday and see what they say. I've spoken to a mate who's told me that M1.8 isn't a standard measurement so I'm thinking something's gone wrong somewhere! Cheers though, Accu looks like a useful site to have for future reference!

Hey all, The mag release screw on one of my AEGs has broken. I've taken it to a fastener shop and he's measured it for me so I know that I need an M1.8 screw with a length of 6mm, but I have no idea where I can get one from. I can find them online but they're all self taping and I don't really want to bore into part of my mag release! Anyone know where I can get one from? I've tried the usuals (amazon, ebay, etc...) and local model and fastener shops with no luck. I can find smaller and bigger but no M1.8s! Cheers, Gryph

Looking good mate!

Pics in the reviews seem to suggest that they're the genuine article

Policy where I work is that motorcycle helmets need to be removed in every collision so that you can open airways etc... There is a method to this that I won't get in to for berevity. The summary of the reasoning is that if you somehow kill them by removing the helmet, then chances are they'll have been dead regardless and it's better to do something to help, than stand and let someone die. Primary function of a bobby is preservation of life which is pretty hard to do if you can't clear someone's airways. I'm sort of reiterating what Poncho's said above there though. That's totally fair, I suppose it's horses for courses at the end of the day, our first aid training isn't as good as yours because it's not our primary function (I do think that there should be a bigger focus on it though, personally) and you guys have much better kit for saving lives. Our first aid kits are pretty shocking to be honest with you, we've only recently had our cars issued with AEDs and CATs!

You're absolutely right, bobbies are never off duty. When it comes to the practical side though it's a bit trickier - most people won't use their powers off duty unless it's to save life or limb because it generally causes more harm than good, especially with what's been going on in the news recently!

If a mesh mask is causing issues you could always put a 1 hole bally underneath? Does get a smidge warm during heatwaves though. I suffer from exczma as well so I can definitely sympathise! There's a few sites where you can find ex police NATO helmets (the riot helmets with the visors) for pretty cheap. Not sure how well they'd do in terms of fogging and general protection though.
