If it's $400 then you're looking at around £250 + £50 tax, probably £12.50 import duty, like £30 shipping, £15 courier fee thing. May as well just get it from the UK. I know there's The Grange and a paintball site who stocks them, don't know about anywhere else.

It got loads of bad reviews, and it's like 2 years old.

What's your budget? I mean are you usually getting milspec stuff like HSGI / Grey Ghost / Tactical Tailor / Warrior AS / BLACKHAWK etc? I think the Condor battle belts come in different sizes, and are only ~£20-£33 each. There's also the BLACKHAWK Patrol Belts which Edgar Brothers sell on their eBay account for £12.50 including postage, and there are different sizes (including small)

Coyote tan is different to coyote brown through I'm sure I've seen some somewhere man, will keep a look out and search for some tommorow

Drop leg thigh rig / platform? There are viper ones for about £17/£18 or so on eBay.

There's actually the G&G 30th Anniversary Edition rifles at Zero One and also Land Warrior Airsoft I believe. They're £150 each but that's not that much more than the cheapest standard Combat Machine CM16 (£100-£120) I think the Combat Machine range goes up to about £200, which are followed by the Intermediate line then Top Tech guns. The thing about this 30th Anniversary Ed is that it also has a metal receiver. So I think it's especially good value for money. In terms of performance and quality they are probably the best you can get for the price, which explains why we are always recommending them You do need to buy a battery and charger with them as well, probably another £20 up to £50 max, for good ones. I agree metal is overrated, in terms of sturdiness and build plastic guns are absolutely fine (unless you're looking at cheap shite under £100 AEGs) G&Gs for example are nylon fibre reinforced polymer, no creaky stuff. I'm not sure about G&G metal construction but I'd imagine it's okay. Heard a story once a guy dropped one of his guns (dunno of the brand) out of his loft IIRC and the metal receiver actually snapped :0

Best rifles IMO are Tokyo Marui VSR, JG BAR-10 (VSR clone, compatible with all TM VSR upgrades, which there are a lot of) Another good gun is the WELL MB-01 (AKA Warrior L96) Best getting them from Gunfire or TaiwanGun (Polish retailers) cos it's much cheaper and you don't have import duty or anything else to pay unlike outside the EU.

Yeah USD as standard but I think there's an option to change to Sterling. I dunno about UKARA, I don't think people ask for them to write UKARA numbers on the box (like we do for European orders) If it's just magazines there is no problem (doesn't apply to them) I ordered a couple PMAGs recently.

Looks like Ant-Supplies is the best place to buy it from, Patrol Base delivery will be like £4-£5 I bet.

I think they are all very similar in quality and everything. There are just different designs. I would recommend these ... http://www.airsoftpeak.com/army-6019-plastic-knife-training-black-p-14336.html http://www.airsoftpeak.com/army-6014-plastic-knife-training-black-p-14334.html But I guess they won't come for Christmas? I've ordered from them before, very good, first order seemed like only a week or two, then the others took about a month - as you'd expect from Asia This one on the other hand is from Huddersfield store Patrol Base. It's my local shop and I can recommend it. http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-external-parts/ley-industrial-m9-military-combat-training-knife-rubber-blade.htm#.VH4d9DGsXWg

MAG are good. King Arms too I think. eHobby Asia could be a good place to look. When I last checked they have a load of different brands and types of magazines.

There are lots of browser site creators which are easy to use like webs. Just search free website maker or something. As M_P said, Facebook would be a lot quicker and easier though. To me it seems unnecessary to build a website unless you're a really group popular or something.

Nice job, looks good!

USMC MultiCam? If you're looking for a lightweight loadout I'd recommend a minimalist plate carrier such as a Flyye Gen 1 FAPC or a chest rig like the Tactical Tailor Mini MAV. The one you're looking at could be good if it works out cheap though. It's TMC so I'm not sure how good the quality will be.

Fck it it's 4 quid not expecting much

Ainsley Harriott: 100 Meals In Minutes - £2.59 (eBay) Mechanix MC Fast Fit Gloves - £12.95 (UK Tactical) I haven't bought these but they're Christmas presents for me - COD: AW - Atlas Limited Edition - £39.99 (GAME) BF4 Prima Strategy Guide - £3.99 (GAME)

What's a stinger stock? I'm thinking it's like a HK416C stock? I've seen this before and I think yes some LiPos will work.

I really doubt it. A RIF maybe, but it's fine if you have a defence. Ian ordered a gun recently, and you can buy from Europe no problem. A vest like that should be fine.

I love A-TACS AU and FG. Probably going to do an AU loadout in the future...FG also tempting but expensive to buy both! Plus there are lot of other woodland camo patterns I like but there aren't many desert / urban ones that are as nice looking as A-TACS. Try Warrior Assault Systems on UK Tactical for pouches / plate carriers etc. Great mil-spec quality and reasonable pricing, and they have done free postage for a while now

You should be able to hear the gas as it's going in and the sound will stop once it's full.

Yup Component Shop are good. I'd recommend LiPo batteries though, a good choice for many reasons. They're a lot more compact than old NiMhs. If you want some though you need a LiPo specific charger or one that will charge lots of different ones. Personally I would say to go for an IMAX B6 charger as it will do both NiMh and LiPo batteries. If you don't want to do that then look around at any of the other chargers which should be good too and about half the price of an IMAX.

With £350 G&P will be in your price range. If you had up to £250 to spend then G&G - but since you have the extra go G&P for that step up. There's also the KWA PTS RM4 ERG (aka just RM4) I think they are great, all good reviews, recoil, auto-stop (or whatever it is called) feature with the ERG magazines etc. About £330 so still within your budget. Last one in stock at LWA - http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/airsoft-weapons-c38/electric-rifles-c45/pts-pts-rm4-scout-erg-premium-p3820 Not sure other places that sell em. Saw one on the wall at Patrol Base but I've never seen it on their website or any others for sale in there.

Has to be a solid colour for two-tone I think. Personally I wouldn't bother, wait til you have UKARA and in the mean time use camo tape if you can to cover up colourful parts when you go to a skirmish (but put it on when you get there are take it off before you leave)

All CYMA are good AFAIK except their M4s. Can get G&G for same price anyway
