I went there on Monday for an £8 pair of glasses and they spent 45 min to an hour just talking me through the different types of weapons, makes and set-ups, I was really impressed and very happy this I'm my nears retailer.

eBay is a good starting point. Also google army surplus. Other posts on this forum will be worth looking at as well as they will mention specific trusted sites.

If your looking to protect the back of your head and neck you can get a scrim scarf. They are a net version of a shamag. Much the same but you can wear all year round and not slowly roast yourself. I got mine for £5.99 on eBay as brand new unissued surplus.

I'm kind of Kentish as well. I live in Essex now but did use to live in Bexley. Spend a lot of time down there with family.

Knowledge acquired! Thanks for that Baz JJ.

I do need two questions answering and they are: 1 what does it mean when the rif is "Blowback" 2 what does Mag pull refer to? Thanks Mark

Well I've booked an M4 for the 10th. I also popped into Airsoft zone in Romford today on the way home from work as the trains were messed up. I got myself some protective glasses and was shown LOADS of guns. They were Very helpful in there and I was given loads of information that went beyond my current level of knowledge. They did have the exact rifle I want though all be it in olive and not black. I was quite impressed with the M16 with the under slung Master key as well although I doubt I would want to lug that about for 6 or seven hours and it would be a nightmare for any CQB.

Cool ok ill def book tomorrow.

I should be going on the 10th as well as that's the next one for beginners. I know you can pre-book rentals, but, do you know if you need to pre book the day itself??

I was looking at the G&G T4-18 amongst others.

No I don't have my own gun just yet. Going to rent for the time being until I know what I really want. Would need by three days in two to three months before I can purchase. The legislation is a positive as it will make sure I'm actually wanting to do this long term before spending £200+ on a gun. I'm looking at M417 rif at the mo but I've got plenty of time to change my mind before having to choose.

Hi Guys How big is the scene in Essex? I' went to Billericay yesterday and was kindly given a walk around to see what goes on first hand. I've also seen there is a venue over by Blue Water that is not to far for me to travel. Apart from those are there any others? Cheers Frosty

Hi all just thought I would introduce myself. I'm new to all this and will hopefully be having my first session and Skirmish in Billericay in a week or so. Cheers Mark
