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.

Absolutely could, yeah

I'm a response bobby, so I carry a first aid pouch in my rucksack when I'm out and about, and have a repro BFG micro trauma kit on my belt. I've also got a little boo boo pouch that lives in my trouser pocket and definitely sees more use than the FAK. Boo boo kit has varying types of drugs (all legal, I swear), plasters and some 3M tape. I think that everyone should carry a small kit for whingeries - you never know when you need a plaster and you look like a bit of a dick if everyone has bandages and CATs, but no one has a plaster. As for the CPR debate, current training in my force is 30 compressions and 2 breaths, but we carry the full face seals so I don't have to smooch the casualty. With that being said, our first aid training upsets people because there's some techiniques we're taught that people don't like (i.e. removing crash helmets)

Ty mate, it's the first time I've rattlecanned a rifle so I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out. I'm thinking of getting a nice repro torch and an PEQ box just for the looks. I used halfords camo spray paint. They're about 7 quid a can. I used khaki and brown on mine. The netting is a laundry net that I cut up because I never use it!

Hey mate, didn't see your message! Mine is pretty basic at the moment, I've got a red dot on it and a TD stubby foregrip. Running a repro ferro slingster, but looking to get that swapped out pretty soonish. I rattlecanned the lower on it last weekend.

Cheers! It's the first paintjob I've done so I'm pretty pleased I've not messed it up too badly lmao Rifle wise, I've not had the chance to get out and about with it too much yet, so take this with a pinch of salt. Externally it's nice. It's decently weighty and it doesn't feel as flimsy as other stuff I've used. The charging handle is decent too and doesn't get stuck while I'm trying to adjust the hopup like the specna rifles I've used do. Performance wise it's snappy and it's nicely accurate (I do play indoors though, so I've not got any problems with wind)

I painted up my Rossi L119A2 recently. It's not much, but it turned out better than I was expecting. Picture quality is pretty shocking!

+1 for WAS. I've been rolling with my DCS for a while now for a CTPSW impression and it's honestly pretty good. It gets very warm in the summer though. In the heatwaves we've had my WG turns MCB from sweat. It's not a great look. I'm thinking about picking up a FCPC V5 but I really can't justify dropping £400+ on all the parts right now

Picked up a Rossi L119A2 from high pressure airsoft. So far it's a good little gun. Decent weight, good looking externals and it's pretty snappy. Sadly I've decided to jump on the A2 bandwagon as they're going to be swapping them out for KAC KS1's lmao

Cheers lads, appreciated!

Hi all, Where's the best place to get a repro slingster in the UK? I've struggled to find any sites that stock the TMC repro (other brands are available) and I'd like to nab one. Sadly I don't have Ferro cash at the moment. Cheers, Gryph

Haha are you me?

8fields on patrolbase do a triple stack MP5 mag pouch that's pretty secure to keep the mags in, but I reckon it would flop about a bit on a belt unless you can loop the molle in somehow.

To be fair PB tend to have quite a few sales through the year so OP may be able to pick something up on sale before Christmas if they wanted to.

Damn. If it's still up when I get paid I may have to cop it. If not it's no biggie

Yeah I think a T1/T2 style is probably going to be a better idea. Holo repros seem to be pretty ass unless you get a high end one. Cheers for all the answers.

Yeah £100+ is a bit rich for my blood. My budget is around the 60 or so quid mark. I'm not massively fussed with something holding a spot on zero, I just want something that'll make target acquisition a bit easier. With that being said I am known to make poor financial decisons.

To be honestly I'm not 100% dead set on getting a Eotech style sight. It's a tossup between a T1/2 and an Eotech. I've not got much experience with sights to be honest, I've been using irons since I started, but think it's time to upgrade (rule of cool and all that). Are the T1/2 clones generally better quality?

Hey all, I'm looking for a decent EOTECH holosight clone to throw on my rifle. Ideally one that won't break the bank? For bonus points, what's the best protector to put on it? I play CQB and don't want to smash the shit out of it. Cheers
