    Heat - mag carrying vest

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Super cool 100%.but agreed with the above statement.

     

    I have gone through loads of ‘cool’ load outs/load carrying and tried a couple of impressions but they don’t give you the flexibility needed for airsoft.

     

    I would certainly love to see someone looking like a bank robber with one at a game and would appreciate it, but I couldn’t get on with it myself. Certainly not at that price 


    and I want those hand grenades. Have no need or use for them but man I want them lol

    Nothing added on the WET with the upgrades? 

    Very rarely.

    I would be cautious of buying an ‘upgraded’ gun for one. I don’t know who upgraded it, if the bits work well together, how well it was put together and if they actually improve things etc 

    unless it’s an upgrade with a receipt or traceable (like a negative airsoft video for example) then generally upgraded won’t add much as you also need to find someone who wants a gun with those upgrades installed.

    Regular players are fully aware it’s all a bit silly and easily circumvented. 
    I have been playing for quite a few years now and have 15 odd guns and to my knowledge haven’t been asked once for a UKARA. 
    In fact I have only had 1 ukara and that was more for the site membership rather than to be able to actually buy something

     

    that m4 water gun did make me chuckle though

    Can I use a RIF?

    I am quite new to airsoft and would like to buy my first gun. I am 14, but have adults willing to "gift" me my first airsoft gun. I would like to start off with an M4 of some kind, preferably an RIF rather an an IF, but would it be possible?

     

    If my dad has a licence would it cover me to use an RIF at a site, rather than using an IF, if he brought it and gave it to me, or would I be limited to two-tone guns until I have my own license?

    You using a RIF will cause no issues.

    if someone wants to gift you a Rif then that’s perfectly acceptable. It’s only at point of sale that it becomes tricky.

    you cannot legally buy a RIF yourself until you are 18 and have a ‘defence’ 

    Invicta Battlefield Black Site (Kent)

    in Skirmish Sites, Stories & Reviews

    Posted · Edited by Albiscuit

    I have been putting off going due to some concerns about how close it is and have heard it’s mostly corridor shooting. 
    Whilst I love my cqb room clearing and some wider spaces are genuinely appreciated.

    how does the site stack up to others, you mentioned the Mall, is it like being in the basement corridors the whole time or are there some more open spaces?

     

    oh and great review. Don’t feel ashamed about ripping off a template that works. 
    I am part of some Discord servers and sometimes the review section literally looks like this “went to skirmish woodland yesterday, had fun, would go again” 

    *shakes head*
     

    Scorpion evo battery

    I have had so many different opinions on Evo batteries. Even had three different recommendations from 3 different ’techs’.

     

    I used to go with a 7.4 lipo but now it’s either a 11.1 Lipo and/or a 9.9 liFe and have had no issues with either

    Hello from new player

    I personally would not recommend bunker 51 for a new player or even an experienced one.

    it’s small, very small and I have not had the best of times there.

    if you drive there are plenty of sites near London where you will have a much better day, check out the SE TOUR reviews in the site review section and you will see a lot of the work has been done for you.

     

    also I would pick up a rifle or rent if I were you, even at a cqb site. Playing with a pistol only is fine and great fun, but I think you would need a bit of experience before you try that

    Upgrade advice

    in Electric Guns

    Posted

    The best FREE upgrades have been mentioned.

    clean your barrel (I’m a sucker for NOT doing this) 

    up your bb weight. The heaviest your gun can sling will make a difference over standard .2s 

     

    and as mentioned I would think long and hard about if it’s worth it. 
    I spend a fair amount on ‘upgrades’ in my first gun and they were totally pointless and cost too much for what I ended up with and I soon after bought a better gun and all of my previous issues were sorted with the new purchase.

     

    In your instance I would buy the ARP, and run both for a little while. I have an ARP9 I found stupidly cheap brand new (£120ish) and it has the same range as any of my £300+ guns and I do not feel outgunned using it.

    I tend to use semi as I prefer to play that way so the ROF is moot for me but range and accuracy are up there with most guns out of the box


    after you have bought and used that then maybe see if you still want to sink money into your other RIF

    I’m not really sure guides are needed.

    I think half of the fun is building load outs and researching what you need (for those who do it, personally I don’t care about matching kit etc)

    plus there’s info on here if you can navigate the search function and loads of YouTube vids I would imagine

    SE Tour Review: Apocalypse Paintball and Airsoft (Cambridgeshire)

    in Skirmish Sites, Stories & Reviews

    Posted

    It might have been the day but it was all a bit lacklustre and felt a bit half arsed from a marshalling point of view. 
    One marshal and a couple of player marshals is never going to be enough, even for small bank holiday Monday numbers. 
    looking back I think it probably wasn’t a typical reflection of the site and a Sunday skirmish may run better.

     

    BUT

    we can only comment on what we experienced on the day we decided to visit and frankly it wasn’t worth the journey and I won’t be going back unfortunately.

    Apocalypse paintball in Cambridgeshire.

     

    I think the reason it was mostly crap is the place is 80% paintball with a couple of airsoft games here and there so the focus is not on airsoft which I understand to some degree, but if your going to do something as a business, make it work, very frustrating from a paying players point of view.

    Seems to be the theme for sites who run airsoft when its not their main focus, with a couple of exceptions to be fair but will certainly try to avoid sites like this in the future or do more research on them first.

    Walked out of a site yesterday for probably the first time. I have sat out of games before for a number of reasons but pretty sure that was the first time I decided to go home early.

    Hit taking was non existent, marshalling was so hands off they might as well not have been there and the game zones and types were average at best.

    Shame really but we learn.
