  1. I've got my 1st skirmish this sunday providing my rifle passes the chrono (it says 350 fps out of the box) I can't make up my mind Do I use - Iron sights Red dot sight Scope sight I have my red dot sight combined with iron sights for best of both worlds but i'm just as good with a scope I'll take my scope aswell just in case we're assigned a specific task but I can't decide which to put on my rifle
  2. Royal mail won't carry, lipos, spray paint and other such things either Anything designated as dangerous or explosive
  3. Can it be removed ?? how about spraying it matt black or olive drab
  4. Good point two zero, didn't take into account people without headsets etcb Better to turn it down so you can just about hear it
  5. Running around in a respirator (gas mask) even the modern ones, is like trying to breath through a straw, its even worse if your unfit or have breathing problems, you can breath easier if you dont have the canister attached The things I hated most of wearing them was eating with them, hot weather and lack of peripheral vision
  6. The only thing I can add to this is -- W.W.W I know you've covered most of it cheese and I'm probably repeating what you said but this is how it was taught to me, pretty much every scenario/situation falls under the 3 W's, with practice and experience, you'll get used to it and learn so much more What - what's important that your transmitting Where - positions of yourself, your team mates and the enemy Why - why are you transmitting, is it important For communicating with all team members at once, say 'all call signs' and 'this is (your call sign) then say your message If people learn the phonetic alphabet, you can be much better of with coded words, areas and situations
  7. Ideally, you want radio chatter to a minimum, I was taught in the army that orders/info shouldn't be longer than 10-12 seconds You start with your call sign to the persons call sign, ie - 'Charlie 17 (your call sign) to Charlie 18 (there call sign) Any orders are represented as Hello zero (base camp or HQ) Over (you want a response) Out (end chatter) Roger (you received and understood) Affirmative (yes) Negative (no) Say again (you want them to repeat what they said) That's about what I remember being taught, its always a good thing to learn the Phonetic Alphabet
  8. I've used a throat mic but for me it was uncomfortable so I went back to the standard army earpiece and mic In civilian life now, I use a covert (clear tube) earpiece and mic that can clip on your sleeve or near your mouth on a jacket My mic is located on the zip part of my combat jacket
  9. Thanks guys for your replys I thought you were going to p*ss on my bonfire for a minute there chock All and any airsoft products I buy for me and my boys are solely for airsoft use only, that includes target practice and weapons training for my boys inside our home as I don't have a garden Before I invest sums of money in any hobby/interest, I always do research in that field so I'm clued up on things so I dont get caught out
  10. I remember ordering lipos from abroad and took 3 weeks to arrive and was opened by customs but when I ordered a small engine, exhaust, manifold etc for my rc boat, it took 2 months and had been opened All it said on both packages was 'rc supplies'
  11. I was visiting family over the weekend mate down south where my sister had a stall, I was just looking around and I couldn't miss the oppurtinity of adding it to my collection
  12. Thanks guys I intend to have fun, it'll be great to see how people do things and use my training to full effect I see plenty of smoke and flash bangs being used
  13. Ok, I'm just worried that I can't use it on sunday at my 1st skirmish
  14. I use a thin Phillips head screw driver and pliers as a knocking stick (hammer) I get more control using the pliers
  15. I know its illegal to paint a 2 tone without a good defence or ukara I purchased a RIF glock over the weekend at a boot sale, the bloke didn't ask for anything when I paid for it, it went straight in my coat pocket and never came out until I was home However, what about the other way round ?? Can I spray the slide blue or green so its legal until I get my ukara ??
  16. So glad I've never ordered from them If peoples opinions of 'bad' outweighs the 'good' opinions then I avoid like the plague
  17. I agree with the others, the more you use it the more or will dull You could try 'kick it' around method or just pour a jug of water with old tea bags in it all over the front, sides and back, then hang it up to drip dry, this will give it the 'worn look' I use that method for weathering my rc boats
  18. That's my belief aswell but as its trying to be true to the military then I suppose you can't turn up in your sunday best and a day glow weapon lol
  19. Have you tried a hammer and flat head screw driver ?? I think with those, you knock it anti clockwise to undo it
  20. well dr who's on again so i wonder which of my boys will ger freaked out :)

      I think with Dr. Who. David Tenant and Christopher Eccleston got it right. Eccentric, cocky and explosively impulsive with deep seated emotional trauma and a brilliant mind that just can't sit still for five minutes. Matt 'Footface' Smith and Capaldi both come across to meek and mild for my liking.

      You been reading the dictionary again finius lol

       

      but I agree, no one has a peg on Chris ecclestone and David Tennant, matt smith was pants and peter capaldi is no good

      I think Capaldi has potential but the stories in this season have just been too pants for him to have any chance to show it.

  21. The glock also has single shot (semi auto) and full auto
  22. Like on any gear/cog setup, if its not meshed correctly then you will always strip gears
  23. There's some people that do milsim (military simulation) over 24hrs and I'd love to attend one of those You could try the national airsoft website and see what's going on
  24. On the real sa80, there's 2 screws that hold the carrying handle to the rifle, undo them and the handle slides off The SUSAT was great for its time but I found the rubber cup on the sight to be to soft and flimesy plus it contained atomic/nuclear material which gave the night vision capability hence the nuclear symbol on the box it came in Acogs and the likes are better, I understand your reasons to be authentic but there are better sights avaliable
