Yesterday's game.

"Loadouts: British MTP (all genuine british issue including vest exc knee pads)" You can get issue Revision eye pro that will stop IED frag for £20 on eBay, then you'd not have this concern. Much better some fogging than shot in the eye. You can get all sorts of anti-fogs and aftermarket fan kits. FMA is not a brand from which to be buying the one and only utterly crucial piece of protective equipment needed in airsoft. The double irony is that what you've bought is a chinese knock-off of Revision goggles and they cost the same as the real ones that don't have the fans. Not in a million years would I trust that stuff to protect my eyesight and neither should anyone else. Not trying to come across harsh here but this is one subject where the facts need to be stated very very clearly and where I will not compromise.

First 2 points are pretty valid but would obviously fall under potentially a bit more expensive to obtain vs difficulty in obtaining at all, though if I've misunderstood your sentiment I'll chalk that up to the internet. I've honestly not heard any mention anywhere of any ban or restriction of European stores selling anything airsoft related to UK customers though, so again I'd maintain the a concern over difficulty in purchase wouldn't really be worth too much worry (speaking generally here). I mean it's possible for some guy in Poland or wherever to suddenly get the made-up notion that they can't ship to the UK anymore, that is a possibility I'm quite open to that notion, but it seems an incredibly slim possibility. Especially given that European airsoft/gear shops probably get a ton of business from the UK so if there is no legal restriction preventing them conducting said business they're not going to shoot themselves in the foot. I'm saying this more for the sake of the lurkers btw (of which there are a great many) because brexit is obviously a mess in terms of how everyone in power has handled it and given the confusion level already existent I think the potential for inaccurate rumours to spring up is very high at the moment. That will probably only get worse in the next few weeks as well given the constant votes in parliament that are going on and the rapidly incoming leave date (maybe..).

I mean there could be something I've missed, but I don't think European stores aren't suddenly going to be off limits. We might end up outside the customs union which is a potential reason to make some purchases prior to exit, but the Belgians probably aren't suddenly going to blockade the channel and setup a no-fly-zone to stop FedEx and TNT delivering.

Not posting the desert night more clearly is offensive.

Makes sense, at that site you defo want a brown-dominant camo to say the least (if it's all like the picture). At places like that where there's barely any greenery, I've seen the darker desert patterns work ridiculously well. Just plain coyote brown uniform/kit can be brilliant when the site is all just dead twigs and leaves on the ground with bare tree trunks.

Hey if you like it you like it, wish I did because it is BY FAR the closest place to my family home ha. Last time I went to the school (few years back as I say) when the large building was still open but all the others were OOB, they just crammed all of us in there, must've been easily 50+ but potentially a lot more. First game they even restricted it to a single floor. It was literally just queue up for 10-15 minutes on the one door where the 2 teams met, wait to run in and get shot, rinse and repeat. Biggest waste of money on a skirmish in my whole time in the game.

Is the derelict school totally out of play now? Not bothered with that site for many years, had my worst skirmish ever there back when the 3 storey building was still in use.

Definitely not to my personal tastes for a fair few different reasons haha. I feel like I also need to say the Stratton will never see the airsoft field, I have a comedy Flannel combat shirt for bb wars and potential cosplay type usage. That one's the HSP D3CR-M, but I've got a couple of Spiritus Micro Fights as well as my own scratch/custom built iteration of the concept. I like the Haley rig, but definitely look in to the alternatives from Spiritus, Ferro Concepts and Whiskey Two Four in particular to figure out what'll be best for you.

What made you switch to the dark side (MC crye combats) in the end after running the multi tiger for so long? Just purely out of curiosity.

I don't see a lot of honest BTS stuff from the actual social media 'celebrities' that are out there. Usually it's 'gawd my life is so hard, just constant work *sips another margarita at 3 o/clock on a Wednesday afternoon*'.

Fair bit of weird kit this time.

Stop, I can only get so aroused.

Not bought I'm afraid, just SHOT swag.

I'm fairly sure you need a FAC to buy (and presumably own) silencers/suppressors in the UK. Legally they count as a firearm same way pressure bearing parts do IIRC.

There were G3 cuts in rather flimsy FR fabric that had AC tags. The ones I got are actual AC cut and I'm pretty certain they're regular NYCO.

Not like it's 'the' set of woodlands there's G3s out there. Admittedly it might be 'the' set of ACs that's in private hands haha.

Super offended you didn't even trust me enough to pay F&F. (j/k kids always use G&S, stay safe online) p.s. Still got some more discontinued RG stuff going at very competitive prices if any out there wants some gucci-ness. jus' sayin'

Actually played a game at the weekend.

Yeah I was just messing about, if you want to know what parts will fit your gun just start a thread to ask and detail the brand with some proper pictures of the area in question (not in a locker etc). If you buy a long enough screwdriver to get the buffer tube off then if it's setup like a standard AEG most likely you can get a sling plate to fit the rear of the lower receiver.

Ah well that's one of them shadow M4s so it's hard to say.

They make it in black? https://frv-tailoring.myshopify.com/collections/shooters-belt/products/frv-tailoring-black-shooters-belt

I mean.. it's clearly CADPAT.. or did skara know that and I've missed the joke? 😆

@PopRocket123 They had a 1-off crazy sale earlier in the year, about 35-40% off (might even have been 50 can't exactly remember). Still hard to get hold of, but I have essentially no bills living in the barrack block on base and I've got almost everything I've ever purchased for airsoft/gear collecting on sale over the years (or cheap 2nd hand etc) with a lot of careful planning and waiting ha.
