My GBB MP7 has a 110mm barrel and it's without doubt the most accurate gun I've ever owned. Barrel, ammunition & hop quality are far more important than barrel length.

The self heating tinned foods are really tasty I agree, the curry one is especially good and they do get the food piping hot. They are still quite expensive and a bit bulky though.

Sandwiches, pasties, haribo. Don't overthink it, you're going camping and playing BBwars for a weekend not spending 6 weeks on exercise in the desert.

Jedi_master, the human eye can determine more shades of green than any other colour, as a 'covert' light green is probably the worst possible colour you can use! i3666, I wouldn't recommend a laser, really they're not all that useful at all in 99% of situations. Get a decent bright LED torch with pressure pad (ultrafire make really bright ones for very low prices) and a tracer unit, B&T make a pretty servicable one, but Tokyo Marui make arguably the best tracer unit available. For Strikeforce the B&T one will be more than good enough as you can't go fully auto anyway.

Shooting without a stock is surprisingly difficult, combine that with the distance you need to hold the gun from your face to aim one and it's actually easier to have a stock in CQB than not. I'd recommend he leaves it on.

bahahaha, this is gold. what a grade A spunktrumpet! Your white belt in Tae Kwon Do does not qualify you as 'having experience of combat'. Neither does the occasional airsoft skirmish in rural wales.

UKAPU aren't an alternative system, you are required to be a member of UKARA in order to join UKAPU, it's more of an organised lobbying/interest group like an airsoft version of the NRA to allow airsofters a collective voice when any new legislation etc is discussed in parliament. I'm a member, not because I want to take an active role in the running of UKAPU but so that their membership figures are healthier if/when it does come to the point where they need to start harassing MPs. More members = more potential voters!

there is no legal limit (well, 12ft/lbs... but you will NEVER build an airsoft gun that can get there), anything you've read is a recommendation by ACPO and not defined by actual law.

We're well off topic now but that's a player problem not a rules problem. Having a joule chart for all of the popular weights (or even ALL weights of BB) attached to the site chrono isn't a massive ask, if a player is thought to be attempting to cheat the system they could be asked to have ten of their BBs weighed before loading them into the magazine for chrono, although I agree that is a little heavy handed. If someone wishes to cheat chrono, it's REALLY easy to do so.

I could argue that he's glorifying race hate, which while not a crime per se is cutting pretty close. As for not having the right to be offended, of course I do, I find the wearing of that particular uniform hugely offensive and I have the RIGHT to feel anything I want. Do I have the right to force him to change his behaviour, no of course I don't. Do I have the right to think he's a massive bell-end for wearing it, and to tell him so, yes I do, especially since it's clearly a statement piece. He's not wearing it for historical accuracy (because it's not, unless he's re-enacting herding innocent people into gas chambers in auscwitz!), he's not wearing it for practicality, it's a statement; "look how edgy I am, I'm wearing the uniform of the most despicable aspect of one of the most despicable regimes ever to have existed". It's not a massive jump away from turning up to an airsoft game dressed as the Grand Dragon of the KKK, which I'm pretty sure no one would advocate.

it's only 4 inches, but it smells like a foot!

BAC died pretty much immediately, one of the members of this forum signed up with a bunch of fake details and was approved immediately with no checks at all... completely discredited the entire scheme and about 90% of retailers refused to accept it afterwards.

won't be from santa but I'm seriously considering selling a bunch of stuff to buy a PTW and see what all the fuss is about.

They don't fit in the real one either, they're M4 magazine pouches!

Either you were unaware of what this weekend represents to a lot of people, or you just don't care... either way, posting your shiny new SS Totenkopf brigade kit on remembrance weekend is such poor taste I can't even begin to explain how much of an utter cunt it makes you. As for ImTriggerHappy's comment, there's a difference between someone wearing a kilt which is traditional scottish dress, and someone dressing up as a war criminal. Do a bit of reading on what the SS did during the 1940's and you'll see why wearing that particular uniform is so unpleasant, I'd honestly rather see someone wearing a pointy white KKK outfit than that one.

Pretty much the same as it's always been. 50-60m reasonably with a decent gun firing at <350, another 20 metres for a well set up gun shooting at ~500 Anyone who claims significantly more is talking shit.

552 uses AA batteries, 553 uses AAA batteries, 551 uses LR44 batteries. Of those the AAs and AAAs are cheapest/easiest to get and AAA are ligher/smaller. With that in mind I'd say the 553 is the best option although they're all functionally the same.

Got them on ebay for £80, the lenses were a complete write off but they're cheap enough to replace.

I use a 22 holster for my TM glock and it fits perfectly, less than half a millimeter of play.

sell/return it and buy a glock22 holster instead, your TM glock will fit perfectly.

.60 isn't something you'll be able to get... plastic only gets so dense!

either a 7.4v LiPo or a 9.6v NiMh, either will perform better than the 8.4v NiMh you've got at the moment.

second thumbs up for stitch me up, rapid service and reasonable prices.

The glow will be naked eye visible from directly in front of you, from the sides it'll be all but indetectable, it IS visible to someone who's been in the dark for a while though. As for the IR filter, I wouldn't bother; I tried it with a near-IR laser and because the filter only allowed true-IR through the output was massively reduced to the point where it wasn't even worth using. Filtering a visible spectrum LED torch is also relatively pointless, the output range of a 'white' LED is really narrow (they also tend to be towards the blue end of the spectrum) and very little IR is emitted to even get through the filter. Incandescent bulbs are another matter entirely, they kick out LOADS of IR and work great with a filter, but at the cost of brilliance in the visible spectrum. Sadly, even going high-end on IR emitters doesn't really help, even a surefire KM3 dual vis/IR head gives off a very dull glow in IR mode. For what you're after, especially the IR strobing (which will 100% mess with gen1 NVGs, less so autogated gen3) the torch you've got there will almost certainly do the business.

You'll really struggle to fit glasses underneath, prescription inserts however should be fine. The key to avoiding/minimising fogging is simple physics; moisture condenses on cold things. If your lenses are warm then less moisture will condense on them in the first place and the anti-fog coating won't have to work so hard. Put your eyepro on at the start of the day and KEEP IT ON, even the radiated heat from your face makes a difference. Beyond that, a fan assist to keep the humidity down inside your goggles and some good detergent (that's all anti-fog spray is) on the lenses will bridge the gap. ESS turbofans are what I personally use for indoor/close quarters stuff where I want a full seal and massive coverage. For outdoor/woodland/etc stuff I use ESS Crossbow glasses or Oakley sunglasses, depending on how sunny it is!
