  1. UK law states if you hold no defence to own a RIF your gun must be coloured 51% in a NON realistic colour and as said above, that is bright green, orange, red, or blue.

     

    The law states you need a defence for a shop to sell you a RIF. Not for you to own one; you don't have to hand the things in when your site membership expires.

     

    I know it's pedantry but that's the sort of thing that gets spread and before you know it it's all "ukara lisenz!!1" everywhere you go.

  2. The couple of times I've been I've really liked it. After playing a couple of CQB regularly for some time that were constant cramp-fest wars-of-attrition (get to a spot, die, go back, same again) I found there was far, far less of that at the Billet and with all the corridors you could move around far more. Compared to Red1 it was bloody amazing.

  3. Might wanna specify those sort of details in the original post in future, hard to give the right advice otherwise.

     

    Personally I prefer the OSH model over the XST for airsoft, but obviously whether you wand the hood is a personal preference since both cost the same. If you want the ability to very quickly move the holster around or swap holsters on your rigs then get the RTi mount; obviously then the holsters costs more and you need the RTi mounts (which again can cost a lot more depending on the mount you want). If not then the direct bolt-on holsters are cheaper and a standard belt slide or paddle is only about $10 vs $30-40 for an RTi version.

  4. 'The range' airsoft list them, but are, of course, out of stock. You could contact either them or Tactical-kit to see if they'd get one in. Either that or save up and buy a bunch of stuff from the states, they always use flat rate boxes so international shipping costs the same whether you're buying one thing or quite a few; that's the only way I found to make it viable.

     

    Noticed eHobby and WGC Shop (both Hong Kong airsoft stores) have G-Code as well, but again no beretta models. If you really want the edge-works specifically I'd save up, wait for the next big sale in the states (they're every month practically) and get a few bits from here to make the shipping worthwhile (making sure to factor in VAT + parcel farce fee of about £12 of course):

    If not, get something like a Blackhawk SERPA, IMI or Fobus. Much closer to home:

  5. If you're not breaking the rules or being unsafe and anybody gives you a genuinely shitty attitude over something as banal as your camo choice, know that they are a c*** and tell them to foxtrot oscar.

     

    Because they are. And they need to.

    The combat shirt design is ideal for airsoft in my opinion, I almost never wear a standard shirt (I think once in the last 4 years+ of playing). You can get an issued MTP UBACS for very little on ebay and IMHO it is the best upper torso garment for airsoft bar none (from a practicality and comfort perspective). They're rubbish in certain other ways which are irrelevant to airsoft, but they wick sweat better than anything from Crye/Arc'teryx etc which cost 10x as much.

     

    Just to clear up some abbreviation confusion in this thread:

     

    MC - Multicam, the original American pattern

    MTP - British issue

     

    Anything like MTC, MT Camo, V-Cam, MTP-compatible or Camogram etc etc (and there are many such made-up patterns out there at airsoft gear stores) are proprietary clones. Never trust what any retailer says if their product line is mainly aimed at the airsoft/cadet market. There's stuff out there labelled simple as being real MTP when it simply isn't; if you're not bothered because it's bb warz then hey that's cool. But if you don't want copy stuff you have to shop very carefully indeed.

  6. lol, that's a good'un for sure.

     

    I've seen L85s with CASVs and that actually works, but that's just hilarious. I'm just really really hoping it is a deliberate troll, I mean I'm sure it its, but the 1% chance its' not does make me wonder about what the person might've been thinking/smoking.

  7. lol, if there's one thing that the military hierarchy likes to facilitate, it's warfighters getting drunk on the battlefield..

     

    It's a good question to be honest I've never really considered it; the muzzle device on the L85 is a very similar 'bird cage' but it doesn't have the same cut. Without googling it I'd say it's to index some sort of common attachment but I'm not sure what as I've never seen a suppressor that uses it and I'm pretty sure the US issue BFA and Bayonet don't use it either (could be wrong on one of those though).

  8. I wasnt upset that it had it, in fact i prefer it (if it were the right size :P)

     

    What got me was that i thought the UBACS that i already had was army surplus, but i guess not.

     

    The one you just bought might be older than the one you already have. The CS95 cut shirts had the elbow/forearm padding, they stopped putting it on the PCS cut though.

  10. In my experience, a simple traditional hold on the forend of the rifle itself without using any sort of foregrip is the most efficeint option as far as fatigue goes. Angled grips are good when put far out on the handguard and used to pull the weapon back and down when firing rapidly. VFGs were spawned for SF use specifically on full-auto firearms. Obviously in airsoft it's simply down to trial and experimentation for the user to see what they like most, but given the way the VFG rotates your hand 90 degrees to a vertical position I think it's more likely to isolate wrist muscles, whereas a traditional hold should allow more of the forearm and bicep to get involved; at least that's the way my left arm feels after a time holding a rifle. I found the contrast fairly evident comparing the L85A2 with the plastic handguard vs when on certain training using the rail and grip-pod. YMMV of course.

  11. I was about to say, £200 for a WE pistol is bonkers. Now that stock adapter originally was (of course) a RS item that's been cloned. But seeing as the guy has shoe-horned a 1-pt sling plate on to the base of the buffer tube (and done a god awful job of it) I very, very much doubt those are real parts he's imported. The backstraps are worth nothing and you can't even use them with that adapter anyway, the QR pin that holds it all together at the base of the frame wouldn't allow them to fit.

     

    So unless that hard case is some super high end brand... yeah...
