Cheers guys, I'm not buying anything till I go the my local site/shop I want to try before I buy. If I'm spending that much money I want to see it fits nicely and is comfortable. This post headed in a direction I didn't expect. 😆 I only wanted to share something I'd seen in lidl.

I'm a little intimidated by the prices of the quality face masks, but I know if we going to do this regularly and safely I need to invest. Thanks again.

Great reply and suggestions, thanks. I have been using the full face masks at the site I shoot at, although I did buy my son his own mask. I think I will get a full face mask as suggested. We both wear cheapish goggles when target shooting in the garage with paintball and now airsoft as there's no one shooting back at us. That's really what I brought these for. Cheers. Rick. I appreciate the advice mate, thank you. Yep, the garage is safe and I have a padded and secure backstop to reduce ricochets. I do shoot sub 12 ftlb airguns in there without issues. I usually wear a set of Stihl chainsaw goggles over my glasses. (Found em in garage when we moved in.) As I mentioned he has a budget brand, (but the same as my local site hands out) full mask as I quite like the little shit.... But lesson learned thanks guys. I don't want either of us to get hurt. Thanks for the replies.

My plan was a few 4 or 5mm holes on the top and bottom of the frame, not to touch the lenses themselves. Would that be ok? I think I'll shoot them a few times before I rely on them. Id like a better quality set for sure. I also wear glasses which I assume adds an extra layer of safety? But I really know bugger all about airsoft and would never argue with the experts... The leaflet

Lidl find. £4 I think. No vents so I'm gonna take a Dremel to it later and make some holes. Fit nicely over my glasses. Not sure if of interest to anyone. Sorry for double pictures, crap with tech... 😆

Yep, I thought it was just me as I'm new here.

Thanks mate.

Thanks for the welcome. I can see it's going to be an addictive and expensive hobby... I've a ton of questions, but I'll look thru the old posts before I post much as they've probably already been asked already a million times. The bio ammo, are they any good? I've ordered some as I have access to some land for my airguns but it's shared with livestock and I don't want to cause them any harm. Rick

Hi, just discovered Airsoft. We fired a few at Operation Market Harborough tank show and decided to visit our nearest venue which was outpost Chester. Had a great time, and ended up coming home with the Poseidon thesus M4. Will definitely be going back soon, and will likely a be adding a few more to our collection. Already own a fair few airguns and paintball co2 markers. (25ish) But don't tell the wife.... Looking forward to learning from you lot on here. Thanks. Rick 50, Andy 14.
