Having sat in a hot room with an S10 on for several hours (not doing anything strenuous) I can confirm you will sweat a lot and they get extremely uncomfortable. That said, they're designed in such a way that the lenses don't fog easily and removing the insides of the filters is very easy. Unlike airsoft 'gas masks' you won't need a fan to keep the lenses clear, just keep breathing. You WILL need to replace the lenses though, the ones that come fitted to an S10 are very brittle, I've broken one by dropping the mask from waist height.

thats a solution without a problem, if you need close air support then a reaper/manned aircraft is ALWAYS the better option.

Royal Navy PTI starter kit right there!

that foam wouldn't stop a BB anyway, try shooting it and see!

The problem you have here is you've bought an SRC pistol, they're awful.

the D-ring and the end-cap are the problem, TM didn't do things to correct spec back when they made those and so neither the D-ring or the end cap (near the foresight) will fit anything but a TM handguard. If you're looking to change out the front end, you're going to need to do the whole lot.

The ones on my helmet have microphones on the side which transmit ambient sound into the ear cups, but cap out at 90dB so anything louder than that just gets turned down. Very effective hearing protection, also have a volume control so you can make ambient sound MUCH louder than it really is and have bat-like hearing, though I find that really annoying as it feels like I'm making too much noise in everything I do.

Drones in warfare are absolutely not 'the future'. I've just done a 9 month deployment to the middle east flying a drone that was first used over 20 years ago. As to whether or not they're useful in airsoft, that's a whole other argument. (they're not)

if it's a genuine TM front end then a magpul style handguard won't fit without serious modification. I've been there.

I prefer mid caps to high caps because they don't rattle and you don't have to wind them. 120 shots per mag is more than enough for the way I play too.

Omnidirectional gear snobbery, love it. Far too true as well!

Depends what kind of milsim you're after, if you're going for something like Stirling or CAG then I'd say stick with multicam. The whole point of milsim is to simulate a military experience and in the military everyone wears the same pattern! If however you're headed to something like airborne and it's more of a tan vs green type affair then AOR1/2 are pretty nice, failing that you could go old school with US woodland, it's making a bit of a resurgence and looks good with everything.

Stuff you need for a normal skirmish; Eye protection Gun Boots Everything beyond that is either dressing up or personal preference, e.g. I prefer mid cap magazines over hi caps.

I've never bothered protecting one of those RMR knockoffs, the glass in them is so thick and such a small area I reckon even the cheapest ones are REALLY hard to break.

reference pistols, I wouldn't recommend getting one til you've got a means of getting one in it's full RIF glory; you definitely get what you pay for with a pistol and two toning a nice marui / (some) WE would be criminal. Not only that, a pistol largely is a vanity piece, no one NEEDS one, we all want one because walking round with a pistol is cool.

for the price there's no better starter gun than a G&G combat machine, if you're only intending to use it for a couple of months then you should 100% get one of those. Barrel length in airsoft is also largely irrelevant too, so a good indoor gun 99% of the time is a good outdoor gun too, no need to hamstring yourself with a 20" barrel for better ballistic performance!

oh yeah, there's no doubt that mesh is safe for airsoft, I won't ever dispute that and anyone who does just hasn't looked at the science!

Absolutely no way, mesh is by it's very nature quite weak to impacts (but easily strong enough for airsoft, before anyone comments). The holes tend to stretch and allow stuff through when hit with enough energy by something hard; like shotgun pellets, even if heroshark lenses were made of something ridiculously hard like tungsten I don't think it'd stand up to 00 buckshot.. Buckshot will go straight through 2-3mm steel without any issue, it'll easily go through car doors with enough force to kill people on the other side!

just stuff it inside the helmet between the pads and use a bit of tape to secure it.

recently I've been using glasses cleaning cloths from Lidl, they come ready folded in the packet so you just need to put them in the cleaning rod and get going.

S&S precision plateframe, team wendy exfil ballistic helmet, ronin tactics senshi belt with either ronin or tyr tactical pouches. doesn't get much more HSLD than that, though if you get it all in black you'll look no different really to 10 year old bobby with his PASGT and Viper assault vest.

Headset is peltor comtac 3, the kit to attach them to helmet rails is also made by peltor, it's called an arc-rail kit.

the size of the drone required would be pretty large, a good few Kg, I personally wouldn't want that flying round over my head... one prop failure or a motor brush dying etc and you've got something really heavy dropping from height onto people. That and if it can shoot at people, people will want to shoot back and there's no way you could make it rugged enough to stand up to that.

if it were officially laid down in law I expect that sites would have to start measuring power based on muzzle energy rather than FPS too, which would please me greatly!

excellent, cheers!
