'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): http://www.optactical.com If not, get something like a Blackhawk SERPA, IMI or Fobus. Much closer to home: http://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/fobus-beretta-92f-holster-569-p.asp

I'd recommend full finger gloves and switching to lipo or life batteries, but other than that you've got just the stuff you need. Small torch is definitely a good one, something I forgot when first visiting a dark indoor site. End of the day as long as you have quality eye pro you can't go far wrong in airsoft.

I think snobs were probably more prevelant a few years back, since the credit crunch there's not a lot of players about that can even afford to be snobbish in the first place. I've only ever read stories on forums about them, never seen anyone be a d*** in that way for real, but a few of the stories were from people I'd trust. It's the same with anything online, negative stuff gets shouted about waaaaay more than anything positive. When someone's AEG works smoothly all game day, do they immediately run to the forum and post about it? No. When their gun breaks however... Personally I've only ever experienced reverse-snobs and it's pretty bloody unpleasant. D-bags that have spoken to me like I'm some awful human being POS just because I had (one example) some RS Magpul parts on my electric M4.

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.

Heh, gotta love those GBB reactions. Given that 95%+ of people just use AEGs, it's often worth bringing out a gas gun just for the reactions. Especially when someone doesn't realise you're running gas and then you pull the trigger near to them.

All dat necro doe

Needed some bits from WGC. Pair of SRC masks to scrounge the lower plastic pieces from G17 magwell 5 x KA Thompson lo-caps PTS MOE w/ metal base plate 3 x G&P low-pro gas blocks for the fitting of within extended handguards 2 x pistol buckings to try out

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.

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).

On the patch it's elaborated to underneath the abbreviation - Special Forums Operator Delta

Well, which exactly have you tried? There are literally hundreds of different combat shirts out there on the market from a wide range of manufacturers all over the globe.

Heh, yeah it's a good one. I imported a few extra so if you're interested follow the facebook link in my sig.

Brought a few of these in from the states.

There are 2 different buffer tube circumference specs on the market, but basically only 1 that's used for 99% of airsoft guns and stocks. Long as you don't buy a 'real steel' Magpul stock that's commercial spec, you'll be fine (even then it'd just be incredibly loose but still go on).

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.

Mostly swag.

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.

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...

That inner barrel showing through that's about half the width the real barrel would be.. hnnnnnghhhhh...

Tactical foot makes it.

Heh, well I'll look forward to seeing how it goes.

Well there's only one way to find out in that respect. I was referring more to the overall position, rather than the angle; but I've never tried slapping something velcro on to my back and I don't think anyone else here has by the sounds of it, so we'll only know when someone tries it. imho, I think there's probably a reason that you don't ever see people doing it, either in airsoft or all the millions of people in the militaries of the west. They use and are issued conventional backpacks which you can easily swing off and access then put back on, though I'll be the first to admit that normal packs don't always interface with PCs that great (varies a lot by pack, PC and armour). My personal feeling from trying an awful lot of kit in over the years is that I'd prefer to use a small conventional pack along the lines of a Tac Tailor removable/Grey Ghost lightweight. But each to their own ofc, be interesting to see what the end setup looks like and the idea is interesting either way.

It depends what you mean by 'properly'. My point was to say that if it's far enough off alignment, the panel will fall off with the weight in the pouch/running around etc and it'll be hard to get it even close to correct if the setup is on your own back. I wasn't saying it'll just drop off if you don't spend 20 minutes OCD-aligning the velcro, that much is obvious to anybody. But if there isn't enough surface area contact then problems will arise as you can imagine.

You'll not be able to do the press studs back up when they're all on your back and it'll be a mission to align the velcro perfectly (or even vaguely correctly tbh, seeing as it's behind you), so make sure you have enough of those panels to give an excess of velcro surface area and don't put too much weight in the pack.

Well.. like I say, you know your own gear, ask yourself those questions and you'll be able to decide if you need a pack or not. Nobody else can tell you whether you need to buy extra stuff or not, you're the one who knows how much you want to carry vs the actual carrying capacity of your current kit.
