Allen keys, screwdrivers, cleaning/unjamming rod, valve keys.

Hmm. We have quite a few niche airsoft groups represented here. I do the WW2 games, we have some African Bush wars guys and the Russians. Maybe we should get some weird league going and have the Russians invade S. Africa one weekend and then invent time travel so we can see how the winner does against the combined axis and allied forces?

Just NO! Wooden furniture, thats the way to go.

Antics? Fairfax street in Bristol. Might be popping in there tomorrow as I need paints and diorama stuff. There's Loco-Notion Models in Meadow street W-S-M.

Always good to spend the 2 months wait looking at the options. That way you can see whats available and ask questions about them.

Welcome to the forums. There are some good sites around Bristol. Spartan up near the airport is quite good As you seem to have a subconscious fear of air attack, that may however be an issue Black ops at Cribbs causeway and Portishead are okay too. Bristol Airsoft at the courthouse on Bridewell street is also fun for a bit of variation but it's a very small site and people tend to get bored with it. It's definitely worth hiring until you get a defence sorted out. 2 tone guns just look daft and by the time you sort a defence, many of the retailers will start doing Xmas deals.

Not entirely the writers fault. It was written as a screenplay about a British bomber crew. The studios decided it would be better if it was about the Memphis belle. Everything would have worked better with a few public school accents and people keeping their upper lips stiff and brewing some tea. It just doesn't work as an American film.

No you will need UKARA to buy from taiwangun

Been watching various youtube vids regarding water in dioramas. Quite fancy giving it a go. Maybe have the Matilda fording a small river?

Some sites allow throwing weapons, some don't. The big problem is that although a throwing hatchet may not hurt people, it might knock someones eyepro off.

Oh well, it was worth a shot

JG does some very nice alternative versions of the G36 All of these and many more are available on Taiwangun.com Oh and so incidentally is this: Which I mention because I do WW2 airsoft and don't drive (it would make it soo much easier to get to the games if someone else was going from Bristol)

The Belgians did the last 'cavalry charge' of WW1 and the Italians did one in WW2 but in both cases the units involved were mounted infantry not cavalry. If you are using a rifle, then you can't fight effectively on a moving horse. Is it a cavalry charge if you ride horses up to the enemy and then dismount to fight?

Maybe it was just the last successful cavalry charge, by the Aussie Light Horse then? hmm looking into it, it was the battle of Beersheba in WW1 Egypt. Subsequent 'Cavalry charges' have not been recognised as Cavalry charges as the troops were using guns whilst mounted and were not therefore technically Cavalry.

You should also try Spartan, which is up by the airport.

P1907 Bayonet. Attach this to the end of the rifle and charge the enemy position. Not a very useful tactic for getting kills, but the rest of your team can use it as a diversion. It can also be used as a sword. The last every cavalry charge was by the Aussie light horse in Galipoli, they used the P1907 bayonets as cavalry sabres. Just having it fixed to the rifle, seems to be enough to have a psychological effect.

How I would make a WW1 trench: -Draw the trench layout on a board -Use an air drying modelling clay to layout the floor of the trench and use matchsticks for the side supports. Build up the sides with matchsticks and add any boards for walking on. -Use polyfiller or plaster of paris to build up the trench walls by layering over the back of the match sticks -use masking tape and scrunched up newspaper to build up the surrounding land. -build the surface of the surrounding land up with plaster or clay.

Make your own. It will be much more satisfying.

Nah, it's cos I don't know what size I actually need and cannot find single ones anyway. A pack of 20 the right size is the same price as 255 assorted sizes.

P1907 Bayonet by shoot and scoot. FTW They don't like it up 'em.

Which one is you?

Damn you. Because of this thread I have now ordered a couple of kits: 1:76 Matilda MkII from airfix 1:76 Australian Infantry by Revell Now I will have to work out how to make a small patch of 1:76 jungle to put them in. I imagine a bit of model making will be quite fun, I haven't done it in years.

After Matilda tried to explode and kill me, I have had to do some repairs. I have therefore bought 225 O rings http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EOO7XBM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 300 E clips http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0056FR7GY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The O rings seem to cover just about any size I will ever need. I only need 1 e clip and hopefully its one of these sizes Oh I also bought some moleskin trousers the other day, in the hope they would match my Aussie jacket and stand in as Aussie woolen trousers. They arrived today and look about right http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GQSWTSQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

http://www.evike.com/index.php?cPath=25_101_271 A quick google finds a whole page of AUG barrels at evike. Steel of aluminium and different lengths.

If you play at Spartan, they are Bio only and you will have to buy from them anyway.
