A decent MP5. Ive only played a couple of games so far and picked up a lovely Valken M4 but my dream RIF is an MP5. It was seared on to my brain by the hooligans from Hungerford going for a little tea party at the Iranian Embassy when i was a wee nipper.

What do you do when a snake bites you? Take anti-hissss-tamines.

@RostokMcSpoons ah yes, good points, didnt think of it that way. I dont have a garden to even mess about in.

As the title really! I'm in North Shropshire and looking for an indoor range to play with hop settings, set up sights etc. before my next game, which won't be for about a month due to working shifts! Anyone know of anywhere that's not too far away?

ok, here we go again . . . . After a crappy few days in work I didn't want to do much on my first day off (Sunday), so I found some things to print for my RIF. Didn't like the small one so printed the bigger one. The bigger one feels much better but there is a bit too much play between the picatinny and the handle So I'm going to have a go at packing it out but I can see that I'll just resize it and print again, maybe in a funky dual coloured matte filament. LInks to the parts . . . . Small One Bigger One

Welcome, another newbie here. I got Bolle Tracker 2 eye pro, very snug fit and haven't steamed up yet and a Deltamike mini. The deltamike is a snood with a protective mesh over your mouth to cover your teeth. Im happy with both so far.

Thanks for your replies. I've stripped my RIF down this evening and had a proper look at how it all works. I've got a better understanding of what's going on now so, apart from cosmetics and scopes, it will be left alone until its been well used.

About as clear as mud but I think I understand. lol

Does barrel length make a difference in airsoft? Will an M4 shoot the same distance as, something like, an MP5?
-
I understand the need for a rubber thingy on my barrel/hop up unit but theres a lot of choices that I dont understand. Does the colour make a difference? What about the angle? Are there different sizes and how would I know which one to get? As a newbie, with a bog standard RIF, I know there's a lot of upgrades but im going to use it first, then see what i need but this one seems like a complete no brainer. Especially as there's just the little ring thing and nothing else!

Losing every gram would leave you with a catapult or a straw! Lol

@MrTea funnily enough,being a rental gun is how i got mine! The site i play at use them and i was asking questions about it as it seemed like a good starter rif. Turns out one of the otheres there had bought s mew one but not used it a lot, so a deal was done. 😁 I did strip it down a couple of nights ago and saw that there is only a flimsy ring between the barrel and hopper. Its been added to the top of my shopping list! Lol

Nothing flash or fancy but it is my first. 😍

How times have changed! Back in my day it was a Prince from Nigeria! Lol

It's a silk matte filament. I got a box of 5 reels, all in different colour combinations, as a present off my daughter. I can ssk her where she got them from if you'd like.

Never knew about that one. Mind you, I only found out last year that if you turn your phone to landscape, you get the web page intead of the mobile page!!!! Who knew?!?

Ok, another make today. I got my hard case very cheap. The foam was a bit wet and the case needed a bit of a clean. So case cleaned, foam towel dried then put in the airing cupboard overnight. Stuck it back in the case and it didnt quite feel dry enough so i printed a couple of vented silica gel holders, grabbed some reusable silical gel out of my filament filament dry box, put them all together and bish bash bosh . . . . after 24 hours, the silica gell had turned brown, meaning it had absorbed as much moisture as it could. Ive just refilled them, so back in they go.

If you don't do no. 3, are you even a man? 🙈 🤣🤣🤣

That is a damn fine idea.

Should have clarified, on android. 😁

On one of the other forums i frequent there is a button at the bottom of the page that, when pressed, takes you back to the top of the page, doing away with all the needless scrolling. Can that be added here? Not essential but just one of those nice little touches.

Are paintball eye pro suitable for airsoft?
-
With the caveat that someone might know of a specific exception, and that you should always be careful about buying generic "Paintball airsoft motorcycle adventure military action sport hobby fancy dress" gear from eBay or Amazon: yes.
(Legit) paintball masks are full face, full seal, and have to withstand higher energies than airsoft specific gear.
I use a Valken Annex MI-7 paintball mask with dual pane lenses that's commendably resistant to fogging. DYE branded masks are particularly well regarded.

Not massively brilliant but when I got my RIF, one of the clamp blocks (?) on the front sight was missing. A few minutes in Tinkercad, 24 minutes on the printer and . . . . . I need to tweak it a little ang grab a new bolt/nut from work but I'm happy.

@Lozart and all others, Thanks. I won't be a newbie forever! 😁
