    Depends, eastern Europe is good for the beginner from what I see and read the resorts can be a little small/limited. So keeping me entertained for a whole week would probably be a challenge as I'm used to having the run of some of the bigger resorts. But for someone starting out they are a great...

    My mags arrived today, well packaged and in perfect working order. Gassed up and tested, they are better than either of the original mag or the two other ones I had bought from a uk supplier. Very happy. I have the desire to buy another pistol and they are by far the cheapest place. Pistol and 2...

    TG was a shadow of it's very best in recent years. But he should have been sacked. It's not acceptable in any work place. No doubt it wont be long till another channel offers something similar or the BBC come up with a new line up.

    It's hard to suspend your disbelief at Dorking, the Vietnam base is good but outside of that its clear the land has been/is used for a number of things. Stuff like an assault course laid out in the grounds. It had a definite ex paintball site air to it. I think Dogtag is essentially a wing of...

    Yep, been twice a while back. Its a fairly good site, the Vietnam style US base is pretty cool. My biggest bug with it is their refusal to distinguish teams using tape/armbands etc. This can make some games a nightmare to figure out who you should be shooting. I'd give it a go and decide for...

    shipping military grade scopes from Romania (help)

    Probably not, they would be x-raying your bags if you fly, might be more likely if you drive. Perhaps try somewhere else in Europe that uses them and is less bothered about sending them about the place.

    Not impressed

    Send it back, its under warrenty so they should just send you a new one. In that case you should get one with a better fps. I wouldn't mention upgrades yet. Most guns work good enough out of the box that upgrading too early will end up causing you pain in the long run. I have 2 ICS guns, 1 L85...

    Not impressed

    If its brand new there is a very simple solution, you contact the retailer that sold it to you and it should get sent back. If its second hand things are a bit more of a problem. You could send it off to someone like Kingdom of Airsoft ( a very well respected gun tech up in Scotland) or have a...

    Anyone been to Bunker 51?

    Hows about Urban Assault in Peterborough. It's an old RAF base. Supposed to be pretty good, although not entirely CQB.

    *Sigh* Not exactly airsoft, but still a dumbass move to make!

    What a bunch of idiots! Youtube have already closed one of their channels for this sh!t!

    MAG M4 midcaps

    I have a love hate relationship with them. I'd put it mostly down to the human in the equation though. I have 2 of the 190 metal mags and one 130 plastic. Every so often they develop serious feeding problems, but this seems to be as much to do with them getting dirty (again the sandpit seems...

    Do NOT buy from Flapjack

    Massively important to post people like this in as many places as possible. Try the Airsoft Sales Feedback page on Facebook, they are a good way of checking lists of sellers for good and bad. Sorry you have been hit this way but the best thing to do would be to get the word out. I will mention...

    What kind of jobs do you guys have to support airsoft? :)

    Much as Satnav says teaching brings all sorts for all different reasons. I started because I really didn't know what I wanted to do but have experience of education and thought it would be a challenge. It's been 5 years (including the PGCE, so 4 years of teaching on my own) of massive...

    ASG Mk23 Socom Mag problem (feeding issue)

    Cheers lads. Ok..... so are the WE M9 feed lips the same as the TM M9 ones? My google of the TM ones came up with nothing. It looks similar but the Mk23 one but that one is a NBB not a GBB. Presuming it's the same but the bit at the front looks thicker than the ones I have. Ah I may have a...

    Ordering airsoft guns to the UK - Customs?

    Prices for postage from Evike are insane. Got a quote of over $50 for 5 magazine feeding lips that could quite easily have come in a small bag.

    Beginner to Milsims

    Get yourself a 6shooter and turn up as billy the kid in their regular flying lead series. Nothing like a wild west sim. I keep joking about it but really I want to give it a go quite badly!

    Beginner to Milsims

    No reason you cant treat your average skirmish a bit more milsim than everyone else. Think of them as training for milsim, partly physical fitness wise partly building up skill. When you skirmish start to limit your ammo, and use semi predominantly. Think about movement, concealment and...
