Good man! Can't make the 21st otherwise I'd love to say hi in person. Maybe another time.

SCAR. Buy a SCAR they're ace and the people that own them are automatically 50% more attractive to the opposite sex. Most 1911s are a bit pants though. The problem is the size of the gas reservoir in the magazine being a bit small so on anything other than the Tokyo Marui models (which have a plastic slide) the gas efficiency is poor and well....it's just disappointing. The Tokyo Marui ones are better but still not totally great. I was gutted to sell mine though (Tokyo Marui 1911 MEU), they just look right to me. The ONLY rule about how many guns you can own is that the ideal number of guns is the number of guns you own plus one. Welcome to the madhouse/money pit!

Yes! Come on down. Hello by the way

I have a pair of M-Pact gloves. Pretty much ANY of the Mechanix tactical range will maintain your dexterity but none of them are designed to protect your hands from much more than grazed knuckles from banging against walls etc. If you're after protection from hits then armoured paintball gloves are probably your best bet. I've also used Helikon gloves which were OK but the fit isn't as good as the Mechanix ones (I have big hands but short fingers). I've tried Oakley SI gloves but just can't get on with the fit. One thing to bear in mind is that the standard SI gloves are just the old Factory Pilot "extreme sports" gloves in tactical colours so don't expect too much from them and you won't be disappointed. PIG Alpha gloves are meant to be the dogs danglies in terms of dexterity but are a very lightweight glove. Personally I'm holding out for the new Mechanix Breacher gloves which are due later this year.

Socom Gear M107 shell ejector? Socom Gear Cheytac? Pretty much anything Socom Gear do that costs £1200+?

Great to hear you got on well! I would echo Col Kurtz though. Don't bother throwing good money after bad trying to upgrade the AK12. Save up and buy a better gun. Keep the AK12 as a spare and do it up when you have the time. That way if it all goes horribly wrong you've still got a gun that works!

TM Recoils are metal.

Can I just ask - why have you put a rifle length barrel into a sub machine gun in the first place? Surely the whole point of the UMP is that it's a nice, compact weapon for moving around in restricted environments, putting a dirty great long barrel in kinda defeats the whole point of it, surely?

I see what you did there. Very clever. Now stop it, it's silly

Because some of us are happy to wind? Seriously though the sound activated ones tend to be "double" mags to fit the motor in which is fine if you like the whole "two mags taped together" look but it's not for everyone. Plus airsofters are a funny bunch - they'll happily pay a gazillion quid for a Haley Strategic velcro patch but god forbid they be asked to pay more than a tenner for a hi-cap magazine!

I have some spare MOE rails that will fit that. PM me and I'll do you a deal.

You can indeed. You can even get sound activated ones that are triggered by the noise of the gun working.

A lot of sites don't allow co2 because the fps isn't reliable enough. The first few shots from a fresh mag can go way over the site limits and without a marshal following you around with a chrono they can't be sure you aren't suddenly using a hot gun.

But where's the fun in that?

To be honest it was all the cool patches you bought from him that made me shop there. So it's your fault really. Damn you. You monster.

Yebbut s'proper innit.

I finally got a response by pm'ing him on Facebook. They were waiting on stock for one of the three patches I ordered. They apparently have had their stock in but I've still not had the despatch notification he promised I should have had a week ago. We shall see...

Tell her I've lent it to you ;-)

Hacksherly....there is a version of the x1000 that DOES fit over prescription specs called the x1000rx. It has a deeper lens (same frame).

Well...you've joined a good one! Welcome to the nuthouse

Not a fan of the Magpul CTR? BLASPHEMER!!!!!

Just get the SSR version, that doesn't have AB.

Errrmm...yes, you're overthinking it. Buy the cheapest ones. They'll all come from the same factory anyway.

If you're using active braking that'll make the motor get hot.
