Fairly sure those have now been superseded by the "Boost" range of motors. The M120-M140 would suggest to me it's a high torque motor but beyond that I can find no info.

That's the thing though, they were probably weird conspiracy theorist nutjobs WITHOUT the weed. It doesn't magically make you into one, the same way that coke doesn't automatically make you Tony Montana. Equally alcohol doesn't make you a violent knuckle dragger, but it does lower the inhibitions of the average knuckle dragger to the point that they are happy to get violent. Of course, booze is socially acceptable but recreational pharmaceuticals aren't so we have to demonise them and the ones that partake. Personally, I'd far rather be camped next to a bunch of stoners than a group of piss heads.

Remember? I WAS that soldier! Still got the OPS combat shirt but the Emerson trousers have long since been binned off for being "sort of blackish grey" after a few washes!

Plenty of people do it, ATACs/Kryptec et al are all over the show but if it doesn't get picked up for a government contract or just happen to catch the imagination of the hunting crowd, it'll just disappear off the shelves. I thought LBX were still doing Taipan stuff though to be honest.

Something worth remembering when spending money on real steel optics - airsoft rails are not always in spec so the real steel optics may just not grip properly so holding zero may be a bit pot luck regardless of how expensive your optics are!

Hah ha! Yes! Not sure if anywhere in the UK actually allows it though.

I know you didn't, I was asking a question.

Better than an EoTech? Which are still sub £600 new from Tactical Kit...

That's kind of the point though, surely?

Something I always remember from the days of The Mall was that Luke et al would be more harsh with the regulars and "friends" because showing favourites is a dick move.

There are cheaper ones available though.

And that's different to any other campsite, how? (Apart from the guns - plenty of mischief can be had without those).

Like I said: Which is entirely down to the site to police properly. If they don't, then you won't catch me near the place anyway (I have no intention of going as it happens - I hate camping).

You're right though, second hand is second hand and £175 for something that cost him £200 isn't really a great price.

That's not what I said and you know it. If someone is intoxicated then they shouldn't be playing, that much we can agree on but as far as what goes on in the campsite, there's more likely to be belligerent behaviour from the drinkers than the tokers. But yeah, having a weed based team name is immature at best. But then so is the whole "special operator super soldier" brigade so...

I'd go for the 30k. I have an 18k Infinity in my DMR because it's pulling a big spring and it is quite a slow beast. 30K will give you a respectable response without ending up turning it into a high RoF BB hose!

Okay...that's the Orion gearbox so I wouldn't rush to spend a ton on a Warhead because you'll most likely be replacing parts before you can say "what's that funny noise?". The ASG Boost is OK but no better than something like the Rocket 28TPA motors, the Infinity is a better product but again, for what you're trying to achieve I'm not sure it's worth the extra bunce. In terms of RPM etc then if you just want to improve trigger response then look for a "torque" type motor - somewhere around the 30k rpm mark at a guess. The X-ASR mosfet is very basic and will do little more than protect your trigger contacts. Don't be surprised if you end up having to replace it down the road with something a bit better. This would be a decent shout https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/motors-parts/xt-high-torque-motor-22tpa-long-fan

Yeah....that's not how crack works.

Don't forget they add 20% "VAT" at checkout on AliExpress.

I very much doubt the anti gun lobbyists will ever even see this. The only reason for there to be any headlines about drugs and alcohol at an airsoft event is if something reportable happens which is incredibly unlikely (although I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone manages to set fire to the campsite at the minute). ANY large gathering of people will include a number of people that want to get absolutely wrecked via drink or drugs and a number of people who can't think of a worse way to spend their time. It is what it is and quite frankly BOTH sides need to get over themselves. Enjoy what you want to enjoy as long as it doesn't harm someone else and don't be a dick about the things you don't like.

Pretty sure that facemask won't work with a headset.

That's the thing, your feet don't know you're not a "pro". This is the best advice here. You have to go with what fits YOU, not just what someone else recommends. After hearing how Lowa boots are the best thing ever I finally caved and bought a pair of Zephyr GTX boots. Everyone said they shouldn't need breaking in and that they were like slippers from the first day. After wearing them around the office for a day mine left me with numb toes. TRurns out that wide, supinated feet with a very high in step do NOT work well with Lowa Zephyr GTXs. I have personally found Merrells to be very good (ie comfortable and acceptably waterproof). I've had Sawtooths (ally as fuck but quite heavy), two pairs of MOAB trainers for just walking about when it's a bit wet and currently have a pair of MOAB 2 Tactical Response GTX zip side boots for the BB warz. Conversely I know plenty of folks that won't touch Merrells and that they fall apart after a few uses. The one caveat I'd add to @clumpyedge's suggestion is that there is really a minimum I'd expect to pay for a decent boot that will last for at least a year of semi regular use, cheap chinese stuff may well be made in the same factory as the better branded kit but I can guarantee it won't be subject to the same design constrictions or QA. If you want value, get to Go Outdoors and get their discount card (which is about a fiver a year if I recall) and spend the same budget getting better boots at a discount. Great boots won't make you a better airsofter, but bad boots can ruin your day!

Tokyo Marui M4A1 AEG. Second hand, mind you. I still have it but much like Triggers Broom, it bears little resemblance to the original!
