oh... checkout http://www.military1st.co.uk/ for inspiration... Everything you could possibly need/want/desire and a hell of a lot more you will find yourself making excuses you need to justify a purchase!

Like most of us we have all altered our loadouts more times than we can remember and now have different loadouts for different settings and different guns and even particular style loadouts, SAS, Marine, character specific loadouts etc... My advise would be to buy slowly, grab some combat trousers either a plain colour and go for a PMC style look or grab some woodland surplus ones. A UBACS top is a decent base layer, or a checkered shirt for that merc look would work, I even spent the first few months playing in a hoody... Rig wise, its worth working out like mentioned above what you actually want to take. I started off wanting a PC with all the added extras and a backpack with even more gear with pouches all over and soon realised after skirmishing its pointless as I tend to run around the edges of battle or play a stealthy type of play so wanted low stream and bought a simple chest rig for pouches. Even now I want to simplify it more with just a battle belt for mags and holster and thats it.... Only thing I would say is a godsend is a dump pouch What I guess I am waffling on about is to buy as you play, then you know whats needed to suit the style you play and the locations. (my nooby mate spent I dont know how much on kit before his first skirmish to realise he wont use half of it and stripped it right back, I dread to think how much he wasted) I have 3 set ups for the weapons I use and locations I play at Plus my SAS "costume"...

Never heard of it tbh... Was more saying avoid the cheaper ones as they are pretty useless.. Will look at this!!

THIS!!! I would only consider the ASG B&T or TM ones... Pricier than the others buttotally worth the little bit more. had a £20 quid one from the Bay of E and its totally pants. I sprayed it and used as a silencer for looks only...

I like to pick my targets rather than spray, so in low light or darkness a Tracer is pretty useful to confirm where you are shooting.. It also looks flipping cool!!! So in my mind yes they are worth it..

I ended up with loads of mags which miss-fed before buying those...

Fair enuff.. being in London om surrounded by options. Have some decent ones near me that would do it.. What about an aunty with a sewing maching? The old birds in my family and the mrs' are pretty handy at that sort of thing..

3rd vote for these.. work a charm in my combat raider after a nightmare with other brands...

Haha fair enough

Ask in the local dry cleaners.. most of em will be able to take em in etc.. may even be able to help with the velcro for a extra fee.. Worth an ask anyway!!

May i ask what the difference begween the 2 mentioned hops are?

You wont regret buying 2.... always need a spare, if one dies or theres a problem, at least you can carry on!!

Spend a little extra and go for a 7.4 lipo from component shop. Spend a touch more and buy 2. If your going to skirmish the RIF you will want the extra battery too. Nothing worse than a battery failing or running out of juice on a game day if you only have the one and no back up weapon I know your budget driven, we have all been there. But sometimes you just have to stump up the cash for this game!!.

I am a bit of a hoarder of various crap, and it always surprises me how the things you think might be worth something due to age or type are not and how stuff you have given/chucked away ends up being worth a fortune I have never been able to get it right (unless its trainers)

Ooh.... actually they seem pretty perfect... I could use it on a belt simply, and if I were to get some leg straps I could knock something up for my SAS inspired loadout, I know its not 100% accurate but I want functionality and reduced costs over genuine kit Thanks...

Hmm these IMI sound like what I want.. I dont want to have to buy multiple holsters if I can help it. I would rather one I could use on both loadouts as I dont have much space for my equipment..

I have an mp5k (not sure on manufacturer) and a Combat raider (short barrel) and both are perfect for cqb nd woodland, the only drawback is you will be slightly out ranged outdoors, but both of mine have a similar range, I was VERY surprised with the range when I used my mp5k outside due to my M4 breaking. And actually with the stock unfolded both are a very similar size so neither are more beneficial for cqb in my opinion, but I prefer using the MP5K indoors as it fits my loadout better. I would suggest you go for what you would be more comfortable using as they are very different guns, but all with their plus points..

I get what you mean, but sometimes there is so much stuff google throws up and its not always helpful. I ask the Forum quite a lot of silly questions Im sure, but I do attempt to find the answers myself mostly... I just posted about holsters, as I am looking for something particular, I have searched google and the amount of sites/forums it has thrown up confuse me even more. I have kind of found what I want in regard to that question, but just want some input from real people who have maybe used them and know more about it than me... That being said, the amount of people asking what gun for £30 with laser aided accuracy is kind of tedious... I also think there should be a locked thread with a single post with a link to a combat raider we could send people to for the daily "should I buy this £120 springer from just BB for shooting my sister"....

I have 3 loadouts which I am currently running. An Olive Drab one for woodland with a chest rig (where I jam my Pistol into a spare M4 Mag pouch on my rig) A lightweight Merc/spec ops stylee black/OD set up with pouches hanging on my belt and a drop leg holster An SAS CQB inspired loadout with a nomex suit and vest. Using the above Drop leg holster But I need a new way of holstering my pistol which could be utilized in a couple of different ways as my drop leg is pretty useless, it hangs down to my knee, is not adjustable and not very stable. SO my question is.... Is there a holster which could be used to fit in with the SAS loadout, so it sits high on my thigh with minimal straps rather than halfway down my leg with my stupid drop leg and also be used to attach to a Molle battle belt for my lightweight loadout.. I have seen some holsters which have a kind of clip attachment making them very versatile and removable for different applications/holsters. Does anyone have any knowledge or manufacturer names? I currently have a TM M92 but may even change this, so just researching suppliers for the mo..... Whilst price is not an issue, I dont want to spend real steel money as I have seen the cost of some and they cost more than my toy gun

Finished ranting? lol

I dont keep count as a rule, as long as I am having fun its all good. That being said, sometimes when im in a decent position and well dug in I will count kills from a single position, my highest total is 18 from one point before I had to move or was shot..

Anyone there this thurs??

You say now your going for a look nice effect, I was EXACTLY the same a few months ago, you end up buying all this gun jewelry which in the end makes it look worse as you put more and more on and don't know when to stop. I would recommend leaving it alone if your happy. Once you have used it you will find things you want to do, I have changed my idea and opinion of my Raider about 4 times since buying the bloody thing and have a whole box full of bits I bought, put on and then removed from the gun. What you like about it now will most likely change once you start skirmishing, you may want a sling, different sight, playing indoors in dark areas a Tracer unit, new style grips, new look stock. This hobby never stops......

Airsoft confessions Yes love this new toy gun only cost £80 as it was on sale
