Granted... You won't find much actual data knocking about... But my point was really that having a single unit for a while didn't really mean anything... I'm still of the opinion though that you get what you pay for... And I realise that in any given second... You'll have the same product... But I've their lifetime the differences are vast. But that thought process isn't for everyone...

That's perfectly fine... But it's all a bit anecdotal... For example... I've had the same sort of cheap lights and they have failed when I've used them. But my first decent one... Second hand from eBay... With a faulty switch (previous user error). A quick email to the company explaining it was broken, but second hand and can they help... and they send a replacement part out for free. I can't say the same about even having replacement parts available for cheap ones... Let alone that support. It's why I use vortex optics instead of clones It's why I use snap on instead of draper It's why I use Motorola instead of baofeng It's why I don't touch stainless steel knives There's a certain level of service, quality and functionality in expect from anything I buy... Which you don't get buying cheap. A £10 anything is not the same as it's £80 counterpart in 99.9% of cases.

Aye... If you turn on 2 "similar spec" torches... No, your right... You'll see similar results. The difference comes in materials, strength, build quality, power consumption... One will function as new after a year or 3... One wont. It's also the after sales support and features that you pay for... If you use your kit hard... Then you don't want tat that will fall apart on the first tap... I like my kit to always work, all the time or I've just thrown away money. It's certainly worth a mention... And it's also not all about brand name and marketing... Some things are, but this like this get a good name for reasons far better than brand identity.

I used to use a drop leg which was awful... I also tried other brands... They were all bad. Everything moved and wobbled. I figured rigidity would be the key. So I tried a serpa belt rig for my high capa... That held it much more solid. So I made a belt rig for my leg... Works awesome. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/Glaive/IMG_20140719_122203_zps2m8edkvf.jpg I prefer drop legs as they move everything out the way... Mags are held in Fastmags. I really dislike chest rigs and plate carriers... I like everything on a belt.

I can tie my in laces and everything...

In a word, yes... Just a quick flow comparison on carb inlet trumpets I did a couple of years ago... It was the only picture I had on photobucket at short notice...

I wouldn't be too upset... If you did get a job in airsoft, you'd soon get well bored of it. It's a very niche environment.

Hi All, I made up some grenade holders the other day for Sundays game While there, they got a lot of attention from other players and the local shop. So basically, I want to ask what you would pay for such a device. I plan to sell them in singles or triples. My beginning price based on my costs are £12.50 each, or 3 for £32.50 I think this is comparable with other pouches A triple M4 holder, in a good quality, would fetch around the £25 mark. These are unique and handmade. So this strikes me as reasonable They work by threading through molle (needs two horizontal strips) and locks in via velcro. Every time a grenade is inserted it applies pressure to the velcro and when the grenade is removed, the same happens So regardless of the relatively light grip of velcro, its being tightened on every use. Pop studs could also be used if preferred. So use Grenades are put in tip or base first and then clipped into the spring clips. To remove, just lever them out. Its a very natural movement. They can also be slipped out in a direct up or down movement, depending on their position. They can be used right way up or upside down. Benefits - The grenades are always in the same place and can be indexed without the need to look for them. They can be fast replenished from a separate pouch No clips, velcro or other retention is required. No need to unclip before use. . You gain consistent location, ease of draw and speed in use. You dont have to unclip your pouch, find the grenade, and then reseal the said pouch. The grenade can also be retained without the cap in place Allowing for even greater speed as you now no longer need to remove them before use. Version 2 will have striker patches added so you can draw, strike and throw without having to move your gaze from the target or operate any velcro or clips Thoughts?

I don't know... There's a lot of science into getting any electrical system to work well... Even my cheap Nitecore stuff runs at about £70 and will do that sort of range and throw... I'm not a ure about £20 from eBay...

I would say that a job in the airsoft world would be highly unlikely... As has been said, most manufacturers are in the east. Which basically leaves you in a minimum wage job selling guns and chatting crap to strangers... Which is possible... But how many shops really exist? Also worth noting is that engineering is far from boring... Electrical might not be type thing, but there's many, many types of engineering, doing many various things... Engineers don't fix things... They create things. If the sky people say their sending our an engineer, or a coffee machine has a sign on it saying "broken, awaiting engineer"... Then laugh at them both... And don't trick yourself into thinking "engineering isn't for me" I don't want to get my hands dirty all day... As a little aside... At uni, I want learning how to fix a photocopier... I was designing engine components...

9500 lumin... I think someone got a bit valid away with the number pad there...

Some sites don't like strobe for epilepsy reasons... So check. For lights.. Nitecore MT2C... insane output, quick mode switching, small... If you can up your budget slightly... The SRT series is even better... YouTube them.

Some of this...http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/plumbing-central-heating/waste-overflows/traps/FloPlast-21-5mm-PVC-Overflow-Coupling-3Pk-11478427?skuId=11989134 There may be better, a larger diameter would help... But I had all of 5 minutes to design it and buy the bits before the shop shut... So I just grabbed the nearest thing that looked right... Gave me something to test for tomorrow, though...

Saw a dud oshiboom go into a small room with no hard cover, to hear "hard cover"... We politely informed him that there was no such thing in that room... He disagreed... So no less than 4 flashbang went in, along with a small group of agitated dudes... Laugh? ... I nearly shat!

If I get time, I'll deconstruct the prototype one... It's shabby but gets the point across. The clips are a bit reflective... I think camo tape would work best... Paint would flake of as they obviously flex a lot. Camo tape would wear better, be easier to replace and easier to fit.

To be honest... To sell, their more expensive than they should be... Their not cost effective unless you make them yourselves... To have them "retail" you'd have to ask about £20 a pop to make them worthwhile.

It's basically a strap, with pockets... Every straight has a pocket and every pocket has a Carbon Fibre insert to make it rigid... Then it's riveted together. It has 3 sections... The middle one goes behind the molle, the bottom one folds up, in front of the molle and the top one folds over and down... That has all the gubbins on... It stays in that configuration with velcro.

They do... But that means clips or velcro and noise and messing about... And in a rush you'd struggle to get one quick seeing as they would rattle about in there unless it was full... These are silent and always in the same place...

Not if you make your own... £3.82 each... Plus some spares from around the house... BOOM!

I'd not agree on the condor stuff... I have almost exclusively condor kit and it's excellent. I've used their pistol and mag pouches, chest rig, battle belt, admin, map and other various pouches and their all top notch. I very quickly found that plate carriers are mainly pointless. I can run a full day with only my belt rig... So much so that my chest rig is going. On the rig I have, there's 3 sections, 2 sides and a middle... you can carry... (left side) 3x M4 high cap mags. 3x. Pistol mags (right side) Dump pouch Pistol Flashbangs And at the mo, I'm working on the rear, which will be gas and more pyro.... But that setup is for speed. (fast transitions, reloads, etc). You could double that all easily... Even the sides I'm using all have plenty of real estate left. I'd think about what you actually want to carry before investing in a system.

I use a scrim net as a bandana... Works a treat.

If it helps... You could improve that draw as well. Cool video though.

Rift is excellent... I'm going this Sunday... Bit of a drive, but still... Excellent.

Also... A rif is a firearm... A realistic imitation one... Parts are just parts. A five year old could manufacture and sell parts of they wanted. (as far as the vcra is concerned). I can also make .50 calibre projectiles on a lathe... The issue only comes when I put together full bullets.
