When you buy a PTT you just need to make sure it's the right plug so for example it will usually say for Kenwood or Motorola Talkabout. For example I know Z-Tactical aren't a great brand but I'm looking at these: http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search_From=category&item=ZTHK-Z113-MTA&search=special&rs=Headsets&catid=1&cat=&view_choice=c http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search_From=category&item=ZTHK-Z124-MTA&search=special&rs=Headsets&catid=1&cat=&view_choice=c Headset choice shouldn't matter AFAIK but I'm also looking at a cheap ZTac: http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail3.php?tabpage=3&search=special&rs=Headsets&item=ZTHK-Z029-BK&search_From=category Hope this is helpful.

AFG 1 for £9 here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PTS-AFG2-angled-foregrip-black-de-tan-airsoft-fore-grip-dark-earth-magpul-design/181427404708?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222006%26algo%3DSIC.FITP%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3D7358819020480761998%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D20140107083358%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D181397379969

eBay is your friend.

That's helped me as well, cheers cheeseright.

I would say communication and co-ordination are pretty key to your team's effectiveness. Just talk / relay anything that is useful (except if you're dead!) and it should help you to be a lot more successful. In terms of personal skills I don't have much to say but transition your rifle to the other shoulder when you go around corners and things so you are less exposed. 'Slice the pie' / keeping your pistol close go your chest in CQC and things like that. It helps a lot to do anything you can that could help in close quarters when speed and manueverability is so important.

Welcome to the forum

You want Lexan polycarbonate. IIRC, you can get an A4 sheet thick enough for under a tenner, an A3 size piece is something like £12-£13. I have seen thickness go up to 10mm but I'm not sure what thickness would be best myself.

If you really wanted to upgrade the gun I would at least test out some of these parts you want to put on it first. You could buy a new stock and then realise you don't even like it or it doesn't make a difference. It will cost you £60-£100 for just an aesthetic upgrade - money you could spend on more useful things like Tac said. I would agree with everyone else on the battery, IIRC you use roughly 1 mA per shot. (So 800mAh = 800 shots) It's best to go for the highest capacity possible (that will comfortably fit in your handguard) and a good charger to go with it.

You could alternatively use a custom stencil but as far as I know there are no UK based companies making vinyl camouflage pattern stencils. I could ask if a normal vinyls company (making signs / stickers and things) would make one... I might ask the guy selling this if he will ship over here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Duracoat-Cerakote-Krylon-Machine-cut-stencil-sheet-Kryptek-camo-pattern-/271457960684#shpCntId Kryptek Mandrake (Woodland) I want one of my (future) guns to look a bit like this:

Internals wouldn't be a problem but it could be different for the receiver. I'd want to have a defence to be on the safe side before ordering from abroad. Since they are individual parts I don't think it matters if someone is paying you for them, as far as I know the VCRA concerns complete replicas. I agree it is a loophole, but there are quite a few already. I mean, there's nothing to really stop you buying an IF in the first place, because you could lie about your age. Somebody could just paint an orange gun black if they wanted. I don't think anyone has ever been arrested for illegal possession of one. If the whole idea was to stop violent crime, then all these criminals must be even more stupid than we think, because they can't even get a spray can. If you were a serious criminal you wouldn't rob banks and stuff with an imitation...stupid law but hey it isn't hard for a legitimate airsofter to get a defence so I'm not complaining.

It's a MAGPUL AFG1, as said above. The PTS version is about £30 but I have seen a UK seller doing a clone version for £9 shipped on eBay. I don't have it saved on my iPad but I can get post a link to it later. You don't need the magnifier for an EOTech Holographic but it gives you a 3x magnification and you can flip it to the side for when it in use and have no zoom.

Personally I would say there are better sites to buy from in terms of customer service / quality but selection of cheaper guns isn't great on proper airsoft sites. Admittedly though, BB gun sites are good if you just want something from target practice. I just wouldn't buy anything £50+ because they overcharge for a lot of their stuff like their RIFs which you can buy cheaper elsewhere. There is just a lot of us here on the forums who don't like the 'BB gun' sites because they tend to make up things about their guns, delete any bad things you say about them and so on. Not to mention their bad service. That said I've honestly never had a problem with them in that respect (although I don't buy from them anymore for the above reasons) Most people would recommend you save up and buy a good starter rifle or pistol. I know you only want a cheap gun but a WE or KJW pistol / G&G Combat Machine would last longer / be more fun to shoot and be good at a skirmish if you wanted to do that.

Would be awesome to have a couple buildings / urban environment surrounded by trees, so an attacking team could have to fight through a forest, and when they got to the clearing the rest of a defending team have to hold them off.

Battle Royale sounds like a lot of fun Halo Mill might be trying a Trouble in Terrorist Town sort of thing according to their Facebook

I wouldn't recommend you buy from any site with 'bb guns' in the name. They are bad, especially JBBG. Don't take them anywhere public, that is a bad idea.

It will be fine as long as you take it off before you leave.

Alternatively, airsoftworld sells a King Kong 2014 Burst Wizard MOSFET for £35 IIRC.

Don't want to hi-jack the thread but seen as a lot of you are TM Recoil guys, what's your opinion on the KWA RM4? I'm thinking of getting one, maybe the non-MAGPUL ERG, depending on price / when it's the released. I imagine it will be around £250 range without the MAGPUL stuff as well.

Isn't the Combat Machine already rear wired? If it's front wired then couldn't you change the stock anyway, or are the G&G M4s made strangely?

As far as I know the gas block isn't actually functional on an airsoft GBBR. I don't know for sure though.

I know there are definitely a couple of guys who have an RM4 on the forums, so if either of you could give some advice it would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to buy the Scout version by the way. I already have a (soon to be upgraded) MP5K for CQC.

Exactly as the others have already said. Too many people turn up to their first airsoft game with a crappy gun from some 'bb guns' website (by the way don't buy from them) and find that their guns will not hit anybody and don't have a good time because of it. If you just want to do target shooting at home then a spring gun is fine. By the way, if you ever get into airsofting and skirmishes, and you would like your first gun, this is one a lot of people recommend: http://www.proairsoftsupplies.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=trans&PN=cm16_carbine_transparent%2ehtml#SID=239 Don't want to sound like I'm getting a bit far ahead (can't think of how to say it tbh :/ ) but just giving a suggestion. Welcome to the forums as well.
