    Hardshells anyone? (Includes PCU ramblings and thoughts)

    Second hand issued Carinthia PRG off of the Ebays.  Good enough for the Poole and Hereford crowds, Goretex Pro, well made, tough and reliable.

    Element M300 lens replacement

    Thanks dude. Yeah, already taken the head off but it looks like I need to somehow unscrew/remove the led unit from within the head - it’s all one piece, there’s no separate bezel holding the lens to the head. Sure I’ll figure something out…!

    Element M300 lens replacement

    Unfortunately this happened over the weekend - the lens on my torch got shot out. Obviously I had a protector that had just arrived but hadn’t got round to fitting it… ? Any ideas were I might be able to get it fixed…? ?

    Cumbria, or close to, tech/servicing

    Carlisle based and looking for any techs/servicing close by. Which might be a challenge, I know, as nowhere’s near Carlisle… I know of Tactical Geordies in Newcastle and I get over that way occasionally for work but I guess I’m going to struggle for anybody closer. TIA for recommendations.

    Laser excited phosphor (LEP) as weapon lights

    In reference to others’ comments about intentionally dazzling other players, real world application, etc… (Although the Russians probably won’t care too much!) the Geneva Convention prohibits light weapons that cause permanent blindness. Similarly, although this is only a game/sport we play...

    How do all

    ‘Spose I should introduce myself after lurking and the odd post over the last few months. The eldest’s got me into airsoft last summer when he came to stay for the hols and it’s certainly got my interest. Mainly something I do for a bit of father/son bonding/fun than in my own right though and...

    Best Load Carrying Options to save the knees! Advice needed.

    Be cautious of transferring all that weight you’re currently carrying into a chest rig - you’ll end up with back problems instead! Lighter is better whether that’s belt, chest or vest. During my service I’ve gone through the full cycle of what’s ally - NI chest rig, massive belt kit, battle...

    Delivery nightmares

    I’d say there’s two issues here really - first one’s the delivery being left on the doorstep, unfortunately, as others have said, post-Covid it’s a fact of life, factor that with the huge increase in online shopping and demand for delivery, drivers are on a tight schedule. The second, and...

    Umarex/VFC Glock 17 not cycling properly

    Brand new out of the box Umarex VFC Glock 17 Gen 5 GBB running on green gas. It picks up a BB from the mag but stops with the nozzle/slide about a centimetre shy of completion. Pushing the slide forward results in the metered amount of gas discharging from within the frame, BB stays in the...

    ASG Hera Arms CQR mods

    The boy was gifted a Hera Arms CQR but is not overly taken by the ergonomics or looks (bless, poor teenagers), so I was looking at some simple mods - namely replacing the combined stock/pistol grip with separate parts. A new stock should be the easy bit as a bit of searching reveals there’s a...

    So, first post, after advice/suggestions please folks. Got an Umarex HK 416A5 (the full size, not Sportsline) and looking to expand number of mags I have beyond the hi-cap that came with it.
