5 days to go. Players starting to pack their kit up or the Op.

G&G do an L85 too

Cant help with the L85 although I think ICS make one. Regarding the others, G&G Top Tech or G&P. Also look at VFC. Have a google - lots of retailers do these in the UK. Even if you want to buy in the UK, have a look at the EHobby Asia website as a catalogue reference.

As I said, there isnt really a lot of choice with GBBR outside of WE. Thats why many of us go for AEGs (that and the low maintenance). Dont think you can with Tippmann because I think its a high pressure system but others will know better.

I also thought Tokyo Marui were bringing out a GBBR M4 but a quick UK google failed to find it.

yes Hampshire.

I have a TM MP7 GBBR which is used in semi automatic mode by UK forces for force protection in specific areas but its not a mainstream UK weapon.

They're isnt a huge choice when you filter the weapon selection by gas and specific RS weapon types. Gas is gaining in popularity in airsoft but its higher price, low temperature problems and maintenance needy ways keeps the maker choice reduced. Apart from WE, have a look at the GHK range at Socom Tactical.

I hear that they have discontinued the Gen3 due to MOSFET issues and are working on a new version with the ASCU MOSFET. Personally if you arent worried about operating at 11Volts, I would go for the proven Gen2 version. Airsoft Zone in Romford have stock.

Im sure if they had my headset, it would have gone fine. However, I think its unethical to take an order and money from a customer inder the premise of ex stock and then change the story. Once I pointed that their website was wrong, they didnt even change it, so somebody else is liable to get suckered. http://www.tacticalgeartrade.co.uk/tri-comtac-iii-single-com-noise-reduction-headset-od-for-tri-mil-spec-ptt.html They also definitely in China or HK SAR which I suspected, but use a UK web domain and its not particularly clear where the goods come from. I wont use them again, but feel free if you think there are substantial savings to be had.

normally they give the form to a pet retailer and its done within a week

Scenario/storyline for Op Firestorm will be updated last week of April, after Op Tailspin which is the no.2 game in the series is played out.

If you look at the NEV site I linked to, he suppliesreal recon Bowmans and a PTT to link to a Kenwood connection for the Baofeng. Not cheap but better than keep replacing Z Tacs.

You buy the PTT separately. Its a product of whichever headset you use. Generally its hard wired and sits on your chest somewhere. Thats how the British Army use Bowmans anyway..

We use them for our Okto Eight milsims and one of the players has even built his into a base station cabinet for visual realism !

No Baofengs are brilliant radios. Ive got three. Of course, if you lay on them or fall on them, they will break. You dont need them exposed - just make sure you can access the volume knob. Anyway at that price, they are sacrificial in game.

Try this guy http://www.nev-comms.com/

they arent hard to find, but they wont work with Baofengs without modification

No they were TRI Comtacs but Ive cancelled the order now.

The problem is that you either buy cheap Z Tacs and they often break or you spend a lot of money on the real thing. People cant always afford the real thing just for Airsoft. Its a pity nobody makes a mid range product. There is a guy in Chelmsford who converts real Bowmans but never used him.

Also unlike Tactical Gear Trade who have just messed me about over some Comtacs, the supplier of this headset apologised for the delay and have sent me a free patch, which I thought was thoughtful of them.

Maybe, maybe not. Dont really need it for Tailspin.

Just cancelled my order with Tactical Gear Trade for TRI Comtacs. Listed the product as ex stock. Placed my order and they took Paypal payment. When I emailed to ask about ETA, they advised not in stock and no idea when. Backorder. When I tried to cancel the order, they firstly offered me some Z Tac stuff, then it would be a week. Couldnt get them to acknowledge cancellation so raised a dispute via Paypal and got a refund.

On its way.

Its Kenwood on the Baofeng. You dont have much supplier choice with Bowman (Z Tac or Element). I have a bone conduction headset on order from a US company and will see how that performs.
