  1. Np Bud, I do Force Recon myself so if you need any help finding things or want to have a natter about MFR crap I'm your man!
  2. Insomnia TWA woodland is absoulute murder for the "call your hits crew" they'll be hitting shrubs or you're well out of range oblivious to them. Tell your son not to worry about it, I've stopped attended the sight as it was not much good to begin with but just descended into even more squalour, the good marshals left because the owner runs his business in a very silly way that doesn't make much sense. Theres a few people who are twats too but you can't fault most of the regulars. It was mainly the site layout that caused me to stop attending, it was just too repetitive, no good firing points, if you're in a building you're set to die etc. Also, it's not even the nettles, its the 2 inch thorns on them lol!
  3. Assuming this is TWA woodland, those nettles are a right pain seeing as they only seem to grow on the paths! Always rip my legs and arms to bits even through BDU's
  4. By MFR I'm assuming you mean Marine Force Recon? Helmet http://www.airsoftpeak.com/mich-2000-plastic-helmet-typeb-p-3046.html Mount http://www.airsoftpeak.com/dupont-nylon-lightweight-universal-shroud-helmet-mount-base-black-p-10431.html
  5. I alwats call them myself even though there is no rule to say I should and I wouldn't expect other people to call them if I got them with a richochet. As others have said, if in doubt its better to just call hit and respawn
  6. Sorry to hear you're not feeling too good Ian mate, wishing you a speedy recovery!
  7. From my experience with China made helmets, the straps dig in a fair bit if you have sensitive skin but its nothing major, just be aware you'll be a bit red! They also seem to be made for people with really tiny heads so foam will more than likely need removing and moving around for a good fit. Other than that they're great for what they are for
  8. A spent tube is what I'm after, maybe two if they're cheap enough! Going to be converting it for airsoft use I'm hoping not, I was over on an ordanance collectors forum and saw someone recently mention they go for about £40 but he didn't say where, so I'm hoping war and peace will have some for around that price haha!
  9. Thats that sorted then, I'll be there one way or another! More likely the Saturday as I've been told trains are stopping there specifically for it over the weekend. I'll be sure to pop in and say hi Nick, will be my first time visiting so may take me a while to find my way to you lol. What do you reckon my chances are of picking up an M72 LAW ? I've heard they used to be a common sight, but I'm struggling to find any online now for a reasonable price, just a few at 300 quid and one for 150! I'm hoping a few collectors or 'Nam guys will have some for sale.
  10. Going to see if I can get my sister to give me a lift as I'm without a car for now. Is it doable by public transport from london?
  11. Whilst not central, perhaps UCAPS Sandpit would be a good shout. For my fellow Scotsmen its a 4 hour train journey from Glasgow to London, something like £18 quid if you book well in advance. The rest of the UK's major cities have direct trains to London too I'm guessing? Over on Arnie's forum when they have their annual get together they use the sandpit so I'm sure hiring it for a weekend will be no problem! From what I remember (don't hold me to this its been around a year since I read the thread) theres a pizza place and hotel not too far from it, making non campers and people wanting pizza accommodated for?
  12. Fully gutted. Just tried to order a Moons out Goons out t shirt but the campaigns ended 2 days earlier than it was supposed to :(

  13. I remember years ago, pre VCRA, I got a full metal eletric AK for £45 at a bootsale; it was the most beautiful amazing thing I'd ever seen. Bear in mind £45 was considered "expensive" for a "bb gun" at this time as it was mostly springer pistols for £5 or the odd double eagle g36 for £25. Oh how things have changed!
  14. A nerf firing Carl Gustav would be sweet! A commercially available mortar firing something other than those big water things that have been done before and ruled by many sites to be due dangerous to they're weight and density. Something firing nerf vortex or the like and a bit more realistic looking be amazing.
  15. I meant to write that, my bad. Hadn't been asleep for a few days and was writing as my train of thought unfolded. Edited.
  16. Rifled Instrument for F*ck starting faces. Lol, Realistic imitation firearm, it refers to a non two tone gun. A two tone gone is classed as an IF or imitation firearm.
  17. Maybe a lid that closes with a cheapo poundshop padlock? Then all the guys to rock up with bolt cutters strapped to their back have a use for them lol. Game play could work out something like, the key is on a HVT of the other team, however if it comes to say within 5 minutes of detonating or some other rule, you can use the bolt cutters if found/available etc BUT doing so results in a forefeit of 2 players who join the enemy team for the next round?
  18. The Medium ALICE pack just turnt up, nice suprise to find it had a brand new lightweight frame and Molle II straps already installed! Just need to change buckles for fastex ones and repair the lid which seems to have rotted a bit... There was also a waterproofing back inside but that was rotted beyond belief so had to be binned! Anyone know how to get marker out of a pack?

      Yeah the fella who used in whichever US force he was in has wrote his name in massive letters twice so I need to get shot of it and replace with my name lol. I'll spot test some mate, cheers! I've used hairspray on metal before but I dont see it working on nylon lol

      Cheers mate, got some work cut out to get it the way I want but it'll be worth it!

  19. What would we say is better lads, Flyye or Pantac? Looking at getting a RRV rig and with pouches and shipping its only 8 quid dearer for a Pantac set from HK, I've heard pantac is better but Flyye use 1000d codura ?

      Its shocking how you slip into aint it mate! When I started off I was like pfft I'll never spend that much money on airsoft, what a load of divs getting that into it! my first dpm loadout lasted I sh*t you not, 1 skirmish, the following UKSF one did the same, and then I went Marine FR, and thats last about a year now! I find myself buying stuff and thinking oh I could get a few extra bits and use it for a SEAL loadout... Its never ending!

      The problem is, after my last loadout i swore to stay away from "tacticool" and build my gear around comfort. I did that with basic aor1 gear i made for cqb but after i kept on adding and now if i had the dummy GPNVG18's id look very very close to devgru...! xD

      I've lost count of the amount of times I've said "F*ck it i'm going down the comfort and what works for me route" always last until I go to order something and then convince myself not to due to accuracy lolol. You'd think I was in a re-enactment group or team the way I go on but I'm the only bloke I've met who does 2000-2005 and 2009ish FR lol

  20. Now Ed, once you've built a l119a1, will you be going all UKSF on us? (Loadout wise)
  21. Would these do? http://www.rvops.co.uk/Catalogue/Field-Kit/Model-Making-Kit/View-All/Telescopic-Pointers#sthash.zmRGlTgr.dpbs
  22. 1 Medium Alice pack with lightweight frame - £39 all in 1 British Army OD sniper scrim scarf - £3.95 all in Was also going to pick up some US woodland BDU's but there were no trousers in my size! If anyone has any 200 rnd SAW ALICE pouches in good nick let me know!
  23. I'm of the same thinking as Russel; I'm going be getting a Medium Alice pack to compliment my ALICE webbing. With a few mods I'll be able to comfortably carry a weekenders worth of gear.
  24. If you could lay your hands on a Mk7 long enough to get a mould done you'd be onto a right winner with the Brit kit guys, not being able to get the right helmet was one of the things that put me off doing a Brit kit!
  25. Real plates? You planning on taking the African mercenary loadout beyond airsoft Nick?
