It won't make a blind bit of difference really... No copper will ever look into it... Or care. When I first started in airsoft, I went to a shop... Loads of cheap two tone, and the world's supply of WE guns... The owner tried to push me on a 7inch dragon, and a gbbr. Couldn't have cared less if I had ukara. 1 week after my first evet skirmish... Brought a rif, from this forum... No-one actually cares about ukara.

I walked into a shop today exactly the same... It's no drama.

I think I fixed the link... It's the pistol version I was looking at. Good info... Cheers for that.

Hi all, I saw one of these last game day at CS3... And it's pretty awesome. I wondered if anyone has run one of these long term (as long as you can, I think their pretty new). The reason I ask is because I know ares have a reputation and I don't want to replace my main with a pile of t... With a bad gun. It was this one I was looking at... http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/Airsoft-smg/ares-amoeba-m4-ccr-efcs-dark-earth.htm#.U-sx_1xwYsI Cheers, Chris

I always empty the car out, take any used hardware... Gun, mags, etc and check, clean and stow. Do the same to my soft kit. Muse on what training I need to do throughout the week, work out if there's something I can design to make things easier/more fun... And by that time, the Mrs is telling me I need a shower... So I do that, and eat some food... I usually feel quite ambivalent... I don't usually get to play how I want to play. It's hard to find commitment so you can train with people, which leads to sloppy play... I have loads of fun anyway... But I'd have more fun if when... For example... Faced with a couple of guys, and the guy next to me runs out of ammo because he didn't admin reload... He drew his secondary, rather than fingering his rifle and kit, while staring at the ground. lol I usually pay with a guy that refuses to admin reload because it's too "real steel" and doesn't keep a mag in his pistol in case it falls out... Making it pretty useless. When it comes to clearing buildings... He'll stand outside the door, ripping open all sorts of loud velcro pouches trying to find it, while muttering... Then loudly inserts said mag and racks the (metal, loose, clacky) slide... Cheers chap, I didn't want to be quiet anyway...

It's going over to hpa, linked to a 4k drum mag soon... She'll be fiiiiine. I was considering a amoeba for something you could shoulder. http://www.surplusstore.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/8e94b9347e01b77eb5544a09ce3e947a/a/r/ares-amoeba-3.jpg I've just got a ready mag... So 2 flash mags, weighs about 2kg, 11.1 inside ... Tiny support gun. On your back

I'm rather impressed... That's my entire days loadout for tomorrow... The gas and ammo stays at base and half the bumbag is my glasses, hat, gloves and the 3 mags that will be on my person. So... Lightweight! The only thing missing is the serpa and mag pouches... Which are on my trousers already. Not bad, I don't think.

I would like to point out... You've basically just parroted everything I have already said... lol The only things not covered are pistol effective range... Which I'm happy with. Last game, with 2 snap shots... One guy moving from cover and another leaving a doorway... Got 2 kills at close to the 45-50 yard mark in woodland settings... Another across the courtyard to the head, at 34 strides... (checked after)... I'm happy calling that ~30yards. I think you drastically underestimate a good pistol... And torch... Which is in a pocket as it's only needed for the single (pitch black) kill house in the middle of the Woodland, and searching the odd underground section for props. A quick detach mount sorts all ills without having to carry all that extra mass on the front of the gun. The rest is fieldcraft. Thanks for your input though.

Yeah... The full auto capability is useful... But I can fire pretty fast with just a pistol... If anything, something akin to a p90 would work over the shoulder if i really needed it... But I've found that people will keep their head down as much for a semi barrage, as for a full one. I've never thought "oh, that guy is only on semi firing 4-5 rounds a second... I'm safe to stick my head up" also worth considering that you would have a hand spare to toss pyro... If your talking about suppressive fire...

The reason I ask, is because... Well... I'm interested really... But I looked at my loadout recently and wandered how exactly I could cut down on weight. So I looked at my chest rig and I basically carry a... - radio pouch, which houses spare batteries, the radio, my torch and some pyro... - mag pouch for 4 mags. - admin pouch for tools, gun battery, etc. - 3ltr water pack. - bum bag with 4k rounds, pyro, sweat rags and wallet, etc. - 2 pistol mag pouches So... I don't need the radio pouch. It has a good clip, and when will I ever need to carry spare batteries? ... I'm on the field for an hour at a time... The torch I can pocket, sort pyro later. 4 mags? I use maybe 2 a game... If I'm heavy on the trigger... One of which is in the gun... So one mag left to locate. Bin that pouch. Admin pouch... I don't need to carry all those tools... If it goes that bad, I'm off to the safe zone anyway... Where my car lives. Bin that. Bumbag... I don't need to field any of that... Sack it off. Water carrier... Has its own backpack straps. So my chest rig now houses... 2 pistol mags. That's pretty light! Sack off the chest rig! Now... I looked at my weapons... My rifle has some decent range. Longer effective range than 80% of the fielded weapons. Of the remaining 20%... I match some, the rest do me... But does it need to go that far? Generally, I'm only hitting people around 40-50 yards or less due to the way my sites are. And I'm only getting hit at that range unless it's by a sniper.... OK... My pistol... That's effective to 60 yards. Which actually matches the 80%... Above that, we're talking snipers and support gunners again... Plus a few really good M4's or whatever. So basically... My pistol and rifle have the same capability in game. So... I can sack off the rifle? Seems to be! That adds issues with ammo, and suppressive fire... But you can get around that. I only ever use semi anyways... And hpa-ing of the pistol sorts ammo and gas... So... All that actually leave is the 20% to deal with... And I have a plan for that. So pistol only... Discuss!?

Look up rift, it's in Banbury. A bit of a way perhaps... But it's a good day out.

How "west"? .... Around the slightly middle bit, there's some good sites.

Yeah... Just ordered foam, got myself a glue gun and picked up some dremel bits... I'm going for it!

What about something like this.... http://www.neatorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/colin-500x666.jpg

Some awesome stuff here... And I got linked to the dredd loadout. It's time to order some foam and tools!

You have to displace the mask... But your hardly going to be drinking under fire...

I thought I was going to get loads of "don't be silly" responses... So basically... Loads of people would run round in various bizarre armours given some excuse... I like this already...

See... I was worried that it would all be a bit silly... But actually... Using a pistol effectively still needs excellent field craft. I intend to train and still play as usual... I'll even if I can find this J. Dredd loadout.

That's the spirit! I won't lie... I've mainly found cosplay sites.

Just thinking... Basically, as part of a team, I noticed a lot of people getting really excessively serious about the game. I also noticed, almost all the kit I carried... That everyone carried was pointless... People would fire only 2k rounds a day... But insist on carrying 8 hi cap mags, etc... So first off I got to thinking "I don't need all this crap" and dumping my chest rig. Then I noticed that I don't even really need my rifle... My pistol does just fine, and it's far more of a challenge... And it's fun. And also that camo was mainly pointless as not one person on a field of 130 used it properly and we're all at such small ranges... This trail of thought mainly had me thinking... Why not have some fun! The whole game is playing soldier and fantasy. So... 30 minutes of Google later... I ordered some eva foam and I'm going to make some silly armour, hpa my pistol and go nuts. Has anyone else had similar ponderings? And if so... What was it? Army of two? Some form of Cod? Random mixing?

I seem to remember fire support talking about a big tm order not too long ago... Give them a call...

That's really helpful... I don't mind paying some tax... You only need to buy it once, don't ya... Cheers for your help.

Yeah, that sounds good... I'm not quite sure I understand your "shots to volume" thing. Are you getting 500 shots, for 500psi tank usage, if you fire at 85psi? Which in your tank would give you around 2800 rounds? Also... Can I ask what regulator you use, and what's a c mag? EDIT Never mind... Yeah, c mag. Could still use the regulator make and model though

Hi all... I'm chopping in my M4 for a hpa pistol... But I'm having issues finding a pressure regulator for the build. Most paintball tanks output 800psi, which seems far too high an input for most regulators that I can find. Obviously I need to regulate from 0 to ~120psi. I'm also having slight issue finding figures for tanks/pressure /number of shots. Anyone have any ideas?

God... I don't even get a post on before someone's pissed on the bonfire... Word of advice to anyone... The elite don't call themselves the elite. Unless it's for A VERY good reason... Airsoft is not a reason.
