I think the best use of drones for 90% of skirmishes is just to record footage. Incorporating them effectively into games is usually difficult, possibly dangerous or results in damaged drones!

I *did* wonder! Welcome back, fella!

Off topic,I know; but by any chance were you airsofting & on the forums around 10-15 years ago? Your user name is familiar, is all!

It depends on the site, but usually it's 350. Some places may be less, some; higher.

Does it need to be two toned?

They're roughly similar, but with slightly different tolerances & performance. (WE and TM at least, can't speak for Stark) WE fit & work in a TM, and give it a lot harder kick. CO2; I'd be worried about damaging the pistol. TM mags fit in a WE, but don't seem to have the 'oomph' to cycle the slide reliably. This is going off my pair, one TM one WE with two of each brand of mags; bought second hand & TM mags 'upgraded' with Nineball routers (Possibly worse than stock tbh, but don't have originals to compare).

I mainly play at Rifleworks near Consett and Khe Sahn near Otley. The local sites are: No Limits: Gateshead NTAC: Shildon NSC: Houghton-le-Spring(Ish...I think. Don't know as I've not played there in years & they moved site) Rifleworks: Consett Northern Alliance: Dishforth F&O Khe Sahn: Otley There's Also Stirling Airsoft at Catterick; though these are generally weekend Mil-Sim style games as opposed to normal open days.

Ah, neat. You'll have to join me for a skirmish sometime! Best bet is just to rent to start with; give you an idea without spending money on something that may not suit you. But some good retailers include; Land Warrior Airsoft, Patrol base, First & Only Retail for the airsoft side and Military 1st, Flecktarn and UK Tactical for the gear for starters. Some army army surplus is probably your best bet to start with though; a good pair of boots is essential!

Welcome! I'm in Hartlepool. There's quite a few sites up this way, so you've got a selection to choose from!

Any standard M16/M4 mags should work.

Are both mags the same make? Does it lock back if you hold the mag into the pistol whilst firing? I have the same problem with my TM G17, but one mag is a different brand & doesn't seat exactly the same as the TM mag.

It'll be fine. The vast majority of AEGs use the same type of springs. It's only a special few that require a different style. I'd look at using an M90 though, if you're buying ASG springs; I use them and they tend to come out at 340ish, unless you have a poor air seal. An M100 could very well put you around 360, so best playing it safe and aim to be under!

You would have to hire initially anyway, regardless of whether you're a member or not; unless you can borrow a RIF from someone. *edit: With F&O you can pre-book a hire gun through the website.

Hey fella, welcome. I'm up in Hartlepool, but I play down at Khe Sahn near Otley sometimes, which isn't massively far from Harrogate. Check out the airbana map for local sites.

PDI 6.05 from x-fire, if you don't mind ordering from abroad.

So what's exile when it's at home then, and how does it differ to normal A3?

Well it DOES come with a speedloader and unjamming rod!

It depends how 'large' you are, how cheap your mags are & how quickly you go prone. In reality, you're very Unlikely to break them unless they're cheap plastic & you fall on them hard.

I play at Rifleworks, out near Consett as it's a reasonable sized woodland that tends to play longer, involved games which suits my preferences. Ntac is a mix between Cqb and a little bit of woodland playing short, faster paces games with a large number of players. Ntac I can't comment on, as I've not been in a couple years & they've changed sites since then. There's also no limits in Gateshead which is an indoor Cqb/kill house affair. Haven't been so can't comment. And lastly, Northern Alliance at Dishforth. A small collection of bunkers and paintball-like fields. Best is to get out to all of them & see which you like best.
