I've given in and bought two AFUK Patches, and I will momentarily be buying a custom patch with my emblem (my pic on here). I think Moonman Dan listed a good place a few posts back...

Here's the PX4 that I bought my younger bro for his 16th
 

My skorpion has now been turned into a weird sort of carbine. Still love it though:
 

 
This suppressor was more for looks than anything but I've heard it does slightly up the fps a tad. Regardless the weight on this is quite impressive with the suppresor attached and I also now have somewhere to grip that isn't the magazine

New =/= great, most new guns will only have 1 or 2 batches out of the factory and may still have issues that need sorting out. I believe G&G do this fairly quickly with their more popular models.

Going back to my old US Vietnam era loadout
 

 

It's much easier when no one else has a gun to shoot back too

Get a Tokyo Marui.

Would you deal with the trader again (Yes / No): Yes of course


Any other comments:
Sold some carp to Ian
Flawless communications, very quick payment
Generally a pleasure to do business with

It should be okay but probably not the best for the money unfortunately. I have a CYMA M4 as well but heard they're bad.
Would've rather bought a G&G for around the same (think I paid £150 for mine and could've bought a Combat Machine CM16 + battery and charger for about the same price)
 
A new battery and charger is a good idea, as the ones which come with guns are never good quality. You will want at least a couple for a day as well in case one runs out.
In terms of face protection you can fit glasses underneath I'm afraid there's really no good options unless you're prepared to pay a lot for goggles / glasses and prescription lens inserts.
 
My dad uses Bolle PILOT / PILOPSI goggles which have cut outs inside so your frames fit, but on the other hand the downside is they're designed as safety goggles and look a bit sh*t.

The polymer ones are fine, I reckon the internals will be practically the same.
As Tac said the metal receivers aren't great and generally pot metal (in fact will break much more easily -than the plastic ones- apparently)

This is going to be an expensive project, glad i'm not doing the tech stuff

avoid G&G BOT - no I ain't got one and probably won't
reason their fet's haven't got the best reputation and much better ones out there from £10 or build ya own for £5
(plus their new FireHawk HC05 was crap so I don't think much of G&G's R&D dept lately)
 
the GC16 30th offers the best value for must have metal peeps £150 airsoftworld.net
 
short raider/firehawk are short - well yeah but being short they are not likely to bust unless you start using them as hammer/crowbar etc...
other makes of plastic guns are very brittle but the abs or polymer or whatever it is used in the CM's stands up very very well
 
if you have £150 to spend then either GC16 30th if you must have metal
or
CM18 - abs/polymer/plastic but sexy darling of a gun - crap mid cap - leave that in box coz G&G mid caps are not great like some of their fitted mosfets
 
or £123 - short raider will do perfectly also
 
people always think metal is a must - but numerous guns are polymer eg: G36, UAR, ST, ARX - sure there are loads of modern looking guns out there
 
for cqb - short raider - 233 barrel, firehawk 110, cm18 or gc16 - 275 barrel
(think that is correct aprox but don't sue me if I'm a tad out)
 
though it don't matter that much but just saying shorter guns could be better suited for tight turns/corridors than a longer mofo
but cqb most crap is under 50ft for example

I did a days training at the sandpit with a guy who was introduced as "serving SAS". He certainly knew his stuff and he put us through our paces doing room clearance. It was a great experience and has paid off improving my own skills, but it would be far more useful if I had done it with a few of the guys from the team that like cqb. Simply so we were all working from the same play book.
 
There are a couple of us who have had a little bit of training as part of cadets years ago or are now in the TA, plus one ex services guy, so things like fire and manoeuvre, hand signals and proper coms procedures or moving in a formation are useful skills we use together without too much faffing to get organised. and for some of us after 3 years playing together we have a fair idea of what people will do in given situations.
 
Training or more likely practicing skills together is worth a go. But don't let it get in the way of having a good time.

Just picked up a DPCU shirt (AUSCAM) for the start of my Australian loadout. Currently waiting to see if I can get some DPCU trousers from a fleebay seller in Australia as even with postage it works out cheaper then any other alternative I have seen so far.

Yeah everybody recommends them. I'd say best M4s for the price in the UK, and the 30th Anniversary edition is really nice looking and not as common or boring as the standard Combat Machine

Tippmann M4, air bottle, remote line, 6k bbs with an agalite assault pack to follow next week.

I personality think making any 5.56 "DMR" is wrong but that's just my opinion. If you want it to look the part you'd need to start with a base replicating a real steel gun chambered in 7.62 or higher. To me, throwing a scope and a bipod on an AR-15 isn't really a DMR, it's more of an...AR-15 with a scope and a bipod...
 
Hey-ho it's just a hobby though so do as you wish!

How to make any gun into a DMR:
 
Increase barrel length
 
Increase fps
 
Add lots of fancy furniture and unnecessarily high magnification scopes so that people might come to the conclusion that your gun, is not any old regular aeg fart; they'll know... You've upgraded to DMR... (~.~)

Increasing the barrel length is also only for the looks.

Almost all of the 1x32 acog red dots use LR936 cell batteries. Can be bought on ebay cheaply.
