Neill blomkamp is doing alien 5 as a sequel to aliens (ignoring 3&4). Ridley Scott is doing a sequel to Prometheus which will continue its timeline. Scott has suggested that he wants at least a couple more Prometheus films before he marries up the narrative with the alien films.

Yes. It will most likely have made the rubber swell out of shape. That's why everyone said not to do it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though and I'm sure we've all done worse.

There's a single point mount on the buffer tube at the back of the receiver.

How many shots you get before the pressure drops is dependent on the ambient temperature, the material the gun is made of and whether or not it has decent gas efficiency. With the temperature dropping I'd suggest one of the Nuprol gases designed for cooler weather.

We all knew there would be pulse rifles. Obviously. Now with added RIS A photo posted by Brownsnout (@neillblomkamp) on Oct 15, 2015 at 11:44am PDT

I had this discussion on FB a week or so ago. The HELMET is designed to withstand impact, the visor isn't. Bizarrely there is no impact test required to meet the EC marking regulation for motorcycle visors. It's all about scratch resistance and visibility. The bigger issue is, as you say the fact that they're hot and sweaty and heavy.

Don't spray silicone on the bucking when you put it on.

Mate of mine runs one of these. Good for protection but you can't understand a word he says while he's wearing it.

Gold leaf will be tricky to get into an engraving properly. I'd get some gold enamel paint and a small brush. Wipe of any excess to tidy up the edges.

Yes, you can get them on Amazon. They come in different sizes and colours

Homebase - 3M velcro cable ties.

It's a respro cycle mask. Made of neoprene so no, it won't save your teeth.

The interior scenes were indeed filmed at the Mall.

No, not a fan of tactical AKs. I just googled it

No problem. They've done it for convenience sake. If you already have nunchuck batteries you can put them in the stock, if you already have stick batteries they can go under the cover. Quite a nice idea really.

UKT (again) doing 25% off Warrior Pegasus bags with PEG25 until midnight on Sunday.

The rifle comes with both front AND rear wiring. You only need to connect ONE battery.

I got my Vice Rx insert from eBay for £15 and he glazed them for £35. Lovely chap.

True but then those "bog standard" ones on ebay often aren't worth the money. I realise that a lot of new airsofters are young and not earning but safety and protection are the things you really shouldn't scrimp on and $60 is NOT a huge price to pay for eye and face protection. You don't need to go to the lengths of a Devtac Ronin mask but you should at least have enough respect for yourself to want to spend more than a tenner on protecting yourself. Equally, as much as you can airsoft on a budget, generally it's NOT a cheap hobby. If you start off questioning spending £40 on a piece of essential kit then the cost escalation once you get into it will scare the bejesus out of you!

I hear what you're saying but £70 for a "real steel" piece of kit? It's really not much when you look at what you get. Granted the needs of airsofters aren't really up there with actual soldiers so maybe some of us need to lower our sights in terms of how gucci the kit needs to be?

They're really not.

Ahem...

Really? Only ever seen it with the Surefire X300 on it. Nothing on IMFDB either. I know Kono has used a pistol with crimson trace handgrips though (most likely a S&W M&P9).

I thought that and assumed they'd used the wrong picture. Patrol Base are good though.

Ta Dah! http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=2089 or in Tan: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/ares-g36c-ecu-2rnd-burst-version-tan.htm#.VhPlNPlViko and again in black: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-g36-variants/ares-g36c-ecu-2rnd-burst-version---black.htm#.VhPlePlViko Note - this IS the same gun (the listing on Evike plainly states that it's the Ares OEM version). The Umarex version will have trades as they hold the licence to put them on but this is the same gun nonetheless.
