    Best thing to do is either to your local airsoft shop so you can get a feel for the guns and use them. Alternatively try a few when you go to a skirmish. G&G's Combat Machine range is brilliant for beginners though. Patrol Base or Zero One are the cheapest places to buy (price doesn't include battery or charger)

    Heard good things about these, you can also see they comply with US MIL standards so you're guaranteed protection. http://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/smith-optics-elite-boogie-regulator-goggle-10085-p.asp Any of the other goggles or glasses should work great too, but of course it's best to check the specs before you buy if it doesn't tell you on Tactical Kit. I got my ESS glasses from eBay ~ £20. Hope this helped!
  3. Airsoft_Mr B
    Get good quality ballistic glasses from a trusted brand, mil-spec rated. Try Tactical-Kit. Some goggles from Bollé or ESS or something. Personally I use ex-British Army ESS ICE glasses myself. That way you have peace of mind your eyes are protected and you're not using some cheap ones that couldn't be up to safety standards. I do have some mesh goggles and a mesh mask (for CQB) myself and I've been fine with them but I don't like that something could happen.

      You dont even need to go through the checkout process with RSOV, They give you the shipping price as soon as you add it to your cart

      Thanks guys

      They're not great, as expected, but some stuff still works out cheaper than over here. For example MAG MP5 magazines are £40 (8) rather than £55/£60 and Madbull ACE stock ~ £65 (UK: around £80-£90 I think?)

  5. Airsoft_Mr B
    Say you're spending around £900 then, I don't know what kind of gun you're getting, but let's just say you're going for a pretty expensive TM Recoil (around £500) then you still have £400 just for gear. I know a lot of us airsofters do end up spending lots of money each year on gear and things but it isn't really necessary. I would recommend the same as everyone else really, make sure you get good eye protection. I think Tactical Kit do mil-spec / ballistic rated goggles and glasses. I use ESS ICE glasses myself. Then some good camo clothes (Flecktarn.co.uk or Military 1st are good websites for that) and UKTactical stock great quality military gear by Warrior Assault Systems. Any good walking boots should do fine for airsoft.
  6. Airsoft_Mr B
    Shouldn't need to lug kit around at all, just drive to the site and then you can take the gun out of the case in the safe zone place.
  7. Airsoft_Mr B
    Meh, I don't know. Mesh goggles are pretty notorious because BBs can shatter and you'll end up having fragments in your eye. Isn't usually as bad as it sounds, if you can wash your eye out. Still though, not something you want to happen. I wouldn't go cheap on eye protection in airsoft. Personally I would recommend you get some proper good quality glasses or goggles that are mil-spec rated. I have a pair of ex-British Army ESS ICE glasses myself. That way you don't have to worry about your eyes at all! Try tactical kit, I believe they stock good eye pro.
  8. Airsoft_Mr B
    This.
  9. Airsoft_Mr B

    Ordered one of these for a laff! :) do you think it could be used for airsofting (wearing eye pro underneath of course)

      Good point Monty haha, can't wait to try it anyway but got to wait for it to arrive from China :(

    What about this Frizzle mate? http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/new-products/golden-eagle-ak-47-74-railed-dust-cover.htm
  11. Airsoft_Mr B

    Why's everyone on eHobby Asia saying the TM G17 is expensive...it's like £80. Over here (if in stock) they're like £100 right? Haven't seen their shipping costs yet though - also going to buy JG BAR-10 from them.

      I only ever use it for parts i cant get anywhere else. And only to fix broken stuff. Never for things i just want. Not again. Bout a G36 drum magazine, they sent me a M4 one. Refused to refund me or send me the correct one unless i returned the M4 one, with the international shipping at my expense.

      TM G18s are mad expensive in the UK, like £140 or so whenever I've seen them.

       

      Only Glock 18 I've ever seen for that cheap are the AEP ones.

      its ok buying from asia but (and ive had this happen a few times now) not only does the shipping normaly bring it up to uk price anyway the other thingis customs and ive paid up to and over 30 quidto get a gun released so sometimes best to stick to uk

  12. Airsoft_Mr B
    Component-Shop is good for batteries and chargers. You should be able to buy both for around £20-£25 (I know someone bought a LiPo + Charger for £25)
  13. Airsoft_Mr B

    Any difference between a normal M4A1 receiver and Mk18 receiver? I mean it's the same gun but I'm just wondering if there is some kind of difference with the airsoft model. Could be ordering new lower and upper from eHobby Asia (at some point)

    1. M_P

      M_P

      Shape-wise no, the markings might be though- Jcheesewright is probably the guy to ask

    2. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      In airsoft terms no difference, 99% of real Mk18s I expect have standard colt traded M4 lowers. A standard M4 upper

      would be fine. T

      he real Mk18 has a modified bolt, buffer and gas system to cope with the shorter barrel.

    3. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      For added clarity, Mk18 is just the US Navy numbering system for the CQBR (close quarters battle receiver), you'll get more info searching for that than Mk18.

  14. Airsoft_Mr B
    Or these for £35 - http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/airsoft-magazines-c3/mid-standard-capacity-c52/g-g-120-mid-capacity-magazine-box-of-5-tan-black-gr16-m4-p3441
  15. Airsoft_Mr B
    If you're looking for mags, and aren't too bothered about whether they're metal or not, Airsoft Supply Drop sells MAG mid caps for £6.98 / £7.98 each (or a box of 8 for £55) Not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive either - good quality and affordable. I think they do have metal ones too.
  16. Airsoft_Mr B
    This isn't the worst I've seen but I think it could annoy the purists amongst us. Eugh. Just no.
  17. Airsoft_Mr B

    Really like MARPAT, but if I bought US M81 Woodland it could be used for OPFOR loadouts too. Both are pretty cheap on Flecktarn. What are your opinions?

      I'll PM you where to get some cheap m81, I was keeping it for myself till I had enough monies but I doubt we'll be the same size lol

    If you do get one, Tokyo Marui or KWA make the best pistols. As the other guys have said, GBB pistols can suffer in cold temperatures, but a stock TM gun should perform well enough. I say stock because you can buy a Guarder kit for it, you get a new slide / frame / barrel etc but the better externals mean added weight and you sacrifice efficiency (more power needed to push slide back) The CYMA CM.030 (Electric Glock 18) is a popular AEP but it's non-blowback and not very realistic. Good in cold weather and should be a reliable side arm. I don't think it will be 1:1 scale so it won't fit in moulded holsters (e.g. IMI / BLACKHAWK SERPA / G-Code) I'd also highly recommend you purchase a LiPo battery for it which increases trigger response as well as rate of fire. Airsoft-World sell an exclusive special LiPo which is specifically designed for the CM.030 and another electric pistol (same series / also made by CYMA) If you search for 'custom CM.030' or something people so some crazy shit with theirs adding stocks / scopes etc
  19. Airsoft_Mr B
    Yeah a pistol isn't really too important, get one if you want, but as a beginner your money could be better spent on a more expensive gun or gear. I've also been looking at guns and things on eHobby Asia - does anybody know what it's like buying from them in terms of shipping / customs etc? The stuff on there is really well priced but I can imagine import taxes and everything will be expensive and stuff can get seized by customs and they don't give you if back for ages.
  20. Airsoft_Mr B

    Anybody ordered guns from eHobby Asia? I know it's a good website and it's trusted but what's it like for delivery etc? I would expect high customs charges and things (it they got through) I ask because I found a JG BAR 10 on there ($98!) & TM G17 for ~ $140! And a load of gear and stuff I want too.

  21. Airsoft_Mr B

    Never thought changing a delta ring would be such a hassle, and how do you keep that front part (where front of handguard slots in to) in place without FSP (people remove it to use red dot sights and such)

    2. Airsoft_Mr B

      Airsoft_Mr B

      Ok well I removed the existing delta ring piece and now I have to put the new one on but it is threaded whereas the CYMA one isn't. I think I could file it down to fit because it's a like fraction of millimetre off. Not sure how they then lock into place because at the one point I tried putting the CYMA one back on and couldn't figure that out.

      Can you post up some pictures mate? I'll do my best to help

      Thanks for the help :)

      Mr B, why not just put a pair of surplus DPM's or other cheap uniform and sew a paracord grid on the back?

    3. Airsoft_Mr B

      Airsoft_Mr B

      That's what I'm thinking of doing instead of a full on suit Teddy. I have either Vegetato or DPM BDUs I could use and I have some paracord already. Thing is how do you actually attach the foliage onto it? I know people use dental floss and things but I don't know how you actually tie it on or whatever. I'll find a way when I get to that stage. I will buy some burlap or synthetic fibre stuff to put on too.

    4. AirsoftTed

      AirsoftTed

      The grids aren't completely flat to the BDU, only sewn on at the joins and corners, leaving space to thread foilage in, or you can tie loops in your jute and burlap to put foilage in. I think what the original guy did was use shock/bungee cord sewn onto the BDU to retain foilage, I remember him mentioning buying some near the beginning

  23. Airsoft_Mr B

    Wow ok so I've just a seen this YouTube comment, the guy said in Russia their sniper rifles can be upgraded to 250 m/s. That's ~820 FPS!!

      Well it's an airsoft type game they're playing, pellets and not proper rounds so they wear a bit more protection compared to over here.

    3. Airsoft_Mr B

      Airsoft_Mr B

      Basically it's BB guns they're using (I don't mean cheap airsoft guns)

      I think this is the video but there was another I watched which could be it:

      I don't think I've met anyone playing hardball in Ukraine,but I'd imagine the community would be big enough for it due to how common russian made air rifles are available.. Hardball is basically airsoft with air rifles(.177 lead pellets and balls) It's absolutely mental.

    Cybergun CYMA Blackwater BW15 (CQB-R M4)
  25. Airsoft_Mr B
    Not bad! Personally I prefer the more simplistic skeleton-style-stock design as opposed to the SOCOM one. ACOG is nice too, probably getting one for my M4 as well. Internally sounds great but I don't like 12" RIS. (Just a personal thing I don't like the look of it on any gun)
