£5 for a second-hand (but near mint condition) PEQ-styled battery box. Looks awesome on the L85. £5 for NIB goggles. They fit right over my glasses, and work better than my shooting glasses. Bit peeved I couldn't shift my G36 at Halo Mill's bring and buy though...

The voices in my head tell me to shoot people... Although I'm a bit of a weapons collector - and airsoft allows me to have replicas of weapons that are well beyond my budget (or are still in current service, so not deactivated) - I have to say the main reason I airsoft is for fun. Honestly, if...

I still stand by what I said in my post - the VCRA was nothing more than a cheap and easy way to try and win favour with the more gullible members of the electorate. Rather than doing anything serious, or that required actual effort, the then government took several easy options - the result of...

It was brought in for party political gains and nothing else. It allowed Labour to be able to say that they'd fixed violent crime, and that we're all now safe - but without having to go to the effort of actually doing anything. Making laws is hard - so crap, headline grabbing, idiot motivating...

For mounting an ACOG, you have 3 options. 1) - The version actually used - the TA31 lever mount ( http://www.milspecsolutions.co.uk/shop/airsoft-accessories/sa80-acog-riser/ ) This fits on to the standard 19mm dovetail rail fitted to the L85. 2) - Planned 20mm rail adaptor (designed by...

Been doing some research for my dissertation - most of it pretty boring, all of it tedious. Some of it was a real eye opener. I was going over the Ministry of Defence's accounts for the past 15 years, in particular 2010-2011 and 2012-13, and sweet Zombie Jesus, the accountants are clearly...

There's nowt wrong with M4s, and there's nowt wrong with getting one. Yeah, pretty much everyone and their mum's have M4s - but there's a reason. They're good. They're modular. If you want your L85 to be modular and accept all manner of accessories, you either have to pay extra and buy rail...

My attempt to make a NYPD detective loadout has gone a step forward - replica Point Blank overt/covert ballistics vest in navy blue.

What changes when you use a GBBR? I've found that carrying a sidearm with 3 magazines becomes essential. Mainly because the GBBR I have rarely gets through 10 rounds before jamming... Either learn to accurately shoot and only shoot when absolutely necessary, or get used to carrying a...

First gun - a gift - Army Armaments R85. Would I sell it? If only I could. What a piece of utter junk, it broke half way through my first skirmish, and never lasted a full day. Over 4 months I spent about £110 on repairs and new parts. It's currently sat in Dave's gun cupboard, in about twenty...

I think part of the problem is the colour. I don't think the real C7s are that green. I'm pretty sure they're a muted olive-drab, rather than the rather vivid green G&G are actually making them in. Either way, if I ever pick one up, I'll also be picking up a can of krylon...

Dave and The_Leprechaun both used to make heavy use of ducktape/electrical tape when the three of us were first starting out in airsoft. I seem to recall that most of Lep's kit was covered in the stuff. Both had some pretty impressive DIY magpuls made of the stuff too. I know a guy who had a...

The trades look a little bit over-sized and off-colour, but otherwise pretty spot on. It looks like G&G will also be making and selling an ELCAN M145/C79 sight (hopefully separate from the C7), always good to see more optics put on the market. IF they are, I hope its more use than their...

Used to do a lot of support gunning both in Milsim and general walk-on days. Haven't done it in recently though, as I mostly play at an all-indoors CQB site these days. Anyway - First off - type of play style - milsim or general play? (And where...) 2nd, weight & comfort - what are you...

I thought it was a poor attempt at a joke. One of those comments that if said aloud/face to face would be understood as a bit of a joke/sarcasm. Something that requires to be vocalised so you get the tone of voice, and typing just can't carry across. Or maybe whoever it is they've got working...

A shoulder holster for a Walther P99. Probably the best bit of kit I've bought. It fits under my suit jacket, so I think I've got a new CQB loadout sorted... Worked surprisingly well at Halo Mill last night.

Hell, I know "veteran" airsofters who still can't get their head round that one!
