    I come from the world of paintball, so I would say full frames But you want EN166B Glasses style are available at EN166B for impact but I hate seeing these. It’s fine for impact, but not so good if the glasses dislodge and move (which you can help minimise with a strap) but they also risk non...

    Goggles query

    MIL-PRF-32432 is a very different standard than EN166F, EN166B and EN166A It is for a 0.15 calibre 5.8 grain T37 shaped projectile at 195-201 metres per second (I’m not working those out at the moment - they exceed the needs of Airsoft and would be perfectly fine It is very contradictory for...

    My second favourite marketing term ….. ballistic rated That does not mean they are designed for being shot at Shooting glasses are often marketed as ballistic rated - in marketing terms that means they protect the eyes from the blow back of dust when shooting In the world of the Army, not...

    My favourite subject - eyes!!!!! EN166F is the bare minimum for impact standards, and with a lack of consistent standards for Airsoft is very basic It is tested for 6mm 0.86gram steel balls at 45 metres per second / 147 feet per second That would be 0.87 joules, compared to EN166B at 130...

    *Sigh* "Firearm" Siezed.

    On the face of it, I would accept the RIF photo as one of the items, looking a bit scary as a gun like thing, which could be a bad man chav piece, or could be a genuine player caught up in also being a naughty boy / girl, it could have inappropriate projectiles with it (not the first time that...

    Custom upper and lower

    You can be sent a RIF declaration for a package that has not been looked at - an early question would be “Does it contain a RIF?”, so your answer is “No”, the same answer if asked “Does it contain an IF?” If it were a RIF you don’t necessarily need UKARA as the legal requirement is one of the...

    Trying to locate....

    I’ll second the advice from @Tackle and @auster about universal holsters being pretty rubbish at retention and that a buy back could be the best option if the buyer is willing. But I can also do a bit better than tackle and refer to my eBay ….. I don’t have the one you are after, but do have...

    Thoughts on site cancellations

    Weather, booking numbers and staff availability are the probable causes of cancellation So please book & be reliable But also be aware of potential implications of regular cancellations - do you need to boost the walkon attendance as a local playet community or do you need to be wary of a site...

    Thoughts on site cancellations

    Money is money, and a little bit of incoming money does chip into the fixed costs But a little bit of income could be a loss against the variable costs - the obvious one being staff - a game should have a minimum of two Marshalls, increasing in line with head count. You could ‘get away’ with...

    Cylinder standards / testing / lifecycle - UKPSF HPA1 / air safety

    It’s long as it covers many elements, but a shorter version is : For an HPA user the minimum knowledge needed is to never use oil on the regulator or nipple, use a nipple cover and keep burst disks away from bare skin Then let site staff look at the markings to decide if they will let you use...

    Question

    The short answer is that Garage told me, then Trevor of HPAC confirmed that it must be smaller than 48ci and only for 3000psi In the US their rough guideline is 2x2, that it must be no longer than 2’ and no wider than 2” But if you want something stinger than a bloke on the internet said so…...

    Question

    For Airsoft use, and also for typical paintball use, the generic standard 3000psi 48ci aluminum cylinder does the job, and it’s cost per capacity per lifetime always wins In Airsoft of course there is the added cost of a lower pressure regulator, which may be inline with your remote line etc -...

    Cringe in Airsoft

    An additional option is to create an alternative profile or a ‘page’ dedicated to the activity I have many pages and a couple of profiles on Facebook - pages cover everything from teams, my photography identity, a ‘fan’ group which turned into their ‘memorial’ page, some funnies. Ultimately...

    Question

    If you have a vest then do a search for “paintball tank pouch” and include either “vertical” or “horizontal” as required There should be a few branded and unbranded ones. Back in the day I had to modify my own before everything came in MOLLE. I bought a dropleg mounted bottle pouch, cut off...

    @Tackle @novioman It continues a tangent but I must comment on funeral payments I used to manage the staff who paid the bills For any death in service there is the Joint casually centre, and my colleagues wife is in the Army’s office, and has the MBE for her work there. Plus there is the unit...
