LegoJon reacted to Airsoft-Ed in ACOGS
£99 for that is exceptionally good, I don't what makes you think it's expensive. Most other clones with those features are £130 minimum and the real steel optics they're copying come in at around the £2k mark.
The fibre optic cable means that the ACOG reticle is illuminated by light shining on it, it's not a battery so it never runs out, but if you're in a dark place there's no illumination, so it's a bit useless really. Nice feature though, and realistic to boot.
4x optics aren't a lot of use in airsoft, I run an ACOG more or less identical to this and I find myself using the Docter sight on the top 99% of the time, I only use the ACOG if I think my shots are hitting but I'm not getting any feedback from the target, or if I'm unsure whether a log is a person's head or not. So it's good for more precise shooting at longer ranges, helps see your shots from a little further away, and it's good for scouting areas out with a slightly better view.
Zeroing optics is easy, fire a few shots, then look at the adjustment dials. If you shots are going to the right, turn the dial to the left, if your shots are going high, turn the dial down. Keep doing it until you're on target. Same applies to both the red dot and the ACOG.
I've actually zeroed both optics on mine to the same point, since I use the red dot for pretty much all targets at all ranges anyway, as I said.
My guess is that it's an ACM (all china made) clone, branded ones are more expensive. But with airsoft optics there's not a lot of difference really, in fact in a handful of instances I've had better experiences with unbranded clones, than branded ones.
The build quality will be the same as all the other equivalent optics on the market. They're generally the same product, just sold under different names from different places.
You won't be breaking it unless you fire into it from point blank range, or smash it with a hammer. I've had mine for over 2 years and it's taken direct hits, hard knocks and all sorts. Got a dent in the top of the red dot's frame and that's about all you can see to tell it's been abused.
ProAirsoftSupplies are a very respectable shop, I know their tech and he's a good guy. No worries with buying from them.
Green fibre just means the ACOG will light up green instead of red. No difference to anything else at all. Not sure why the price is higher.

LegoJon reacted to airsoftwarrior147 in Help please guys, where to play?
I agree with finius although the only sites they use ( to my knowledge ) is the main one which is the grange on frog lane and raf honiley which is less than 10 minutes away.
Also last time I was there (2/3 months ago) they were beginning a rebuilding process where they got rid of the "farm" and have put a graveyard in and also they're in the process if building a second fort/bunker
And they are all really welcoming and helpful
So if you've no where to go defiantly give them a visit. The shoot on site (site 1 ) is normally Saturdays and honiley is often Sundays but just ring up and book on/ask
-edit- you don't need to book in for the Saturday shoots as I've always been able to just walk on a play

Anyone ever play that FPS shooter Call of Juarez? The game where two teams tried to plant and defuse dynamite. Was full of bugs and oddities but on a LAN this was one of the best multiplayer games around.

LegoJon reacted to Ian_Gere in Bolle Rush+ Platinum Safety Glasses
I'm never going to wear any eyepro that isn't full seal ever again.
I find it amazing that people shy away from mesh because tiny fragments may get through (and for the sake of discussion forget the physics involved, because many people will not understand the simplest science, purely because it is science so they just switch off) but cheerfully wear lenses with gaps around the edges that whole BB's can fit through, nevermind the size of shattered fragment which could ricochet up off a gun or mask. Literally amazing

In the event of zombie Britain I'd run straight to a local museum (like this one at Norwich) and suit myself up with this (and the sword). Oh yer, zombiefest

LegoJon reacted to jcheeseright in zombie apocalypse.....would your gun do the job!?
I've thought about this at length, and honestly i reckon for 28days later style zombies you need to just GET THE FUCK OUT. For walking dead style zombies a decent hammer should do the job!

LegoJon got a reaction from Richie Boyle in A newbie. Both here @ AFUK & to Airsoft
Good morning, looks like its going to be a lovely sunny one out there!
I'm Jon, I've been playing for 5 months and love it.
I have an ICS Sig Saur 556 and a G&G (bitsa) M4.
I'm a 95 DPM kinda guy who loves long skirmishes, freeze dried field rations and generally getting stuck in.
Looking forward to having a mooch about. It was an article on the BAC that brought me here, so I figured I'd sign up.
Take care guys, stay frosty!

LegoJon got a reaction from Monty in Gun picture thread
So. Here's my two main AEG's. A bitsa (bits of this and that) M4 and my Sig Saur 556.
I'm new to the sport and bought both guns second hand. The Sig was from a chap from my local site and he has guided me through the mine field that is purchasing a RIF.
The M4 was from a Facebook page. I've re sprayed the M4 quad rail and suppressor black.
The Sig has a 6x40 scope and the M4 a generic red dot.
The Sig is firing 350fps on .2's and the M4 is at 280fps on the same .2's.
I also have an M9 NGBB pistol which is pretty cool.

Agreed, the rebel force in the milsim could do with four such freedom fighters to take on the dictator and his fascist army !
