    Really dont know what to do...

    Buy a decent model that you like. Not what's "the best gun", but a model you like and want to use. As and when it needs it, slowly upgrade it internally and externally. As you play more you'll find the difference between what you want and what you need. Spent years dreaming of running with a...

    Airsoft sniper for target shooting with 8 year old son?

    Unless you play 3 games in 3months, and get signed off by an insured site...you won't be able to get UKARA (in a nutshell) Without UKARA you can still buy the intended rifle(s) but you'll need to have them 2-Toned. If it's just for Garden Plinking, there's no harm in it being 2T. As for...

    Which Sig Sauer P226?

    +1 for TM. Mine was faultless. Used and abused for years. I swapped it for a MK23 (TM too) and regretted it ever since. The Mk23 was an impulse swap. Nothing wrong with it - just prefer the P226. BTW, if anyone wants a Mk23 and has a P226 they don't want, I may know someone willing to swap ;-)

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    It means that Richard and Luke have worked on it. Clearly, it's now made of sunshine and puppy farts. FPS: Legal. Anything below 328 is legal, so the FPS is 1-328? That's a lot of variation :-)

    Less pain load out

    Full face mask is a good idea, especially if you want to keep your face looking pretty. But I wouldn't go for a Gas Mask. The respirator side is usually pretty useless - and unnecessary too. You'll find you'll be absolutely BAKING in one after a few mins. I tried an S10 in CQB for the "SAS...

    Shop selling RIF by dissemble in to two halves.

    Would getting the parts separately and assembling them once it's all recieved, technically be classed as Manufacturing a RIF? I had this concern when I was butchering several parts of old donor guns to get a working AEG after a many-year-break from the game. (I figured, in my case, that all...

    Are sidearms necessary?

    IMHO, one well used pistol always beats two. Skill beats Will, every time. I knew a guy who loved his pistols and always played CQB dual-weilding. The problem being it's almost impossible to properly aim two guns at once. He'd run in thinking he was John Woo, fire a dozen shots and miss most...

    Are sidearms necessary?

    I wouldn't say they are neccessary as such. But, it really depends on play style. Snipers generally need a secondary due to their limits on engaging at close range. Personally, I carry a pistol to switch to in CQB. It's not really that I need to, as I've got a stubby M4 as a primary - I just...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    People who always insist on others having the "right" kit all the time. If you want to put money into making an accurate MilSim Loadout or whatever, then cool beans. I can see that when time, effort and money goes into it - it can be brilliant But, don't criticise me because "you really should...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    Snipers. Always hiding and shooting at you from silly distance. Just get in the game and take a hit once in a while!

    Buying second hand?

    As I understand it, your dad can buy you a RIF with his UKARA and gift it to you (birthday, Xmas, first GF etc). But, if you pay him back for it, then it's a problem (legally) as he's using his Defence to buy it on your behalf.

    Why do I see that and think....Boondocks Saints? "So you're telling me it was one guy with six guns, and he was a senior frigging citizen?"

    First time at gz's airsoft festival

    It was a good few years that I went, but from what I remember (things may have changed in recent years)... Your basically camping in the woods. They do advertise food on site, but it's just a burger van type thing. Make sure you take cooking gear and food. There is a shop there for any bits...

    Conversation overheard today at Holmbush Airsoft; Crawley

    Does the BB weight really affect FPS that much? My local site always say that their limits are on .20 BBs, but I always guessed it was for some uniformity. Recently swapped to decent .28's instead of crappy .20 to get a little better performance, didn't think there would be a significant FPS...

    New to airsoft, what sort of gear/gun budget am i looking at if i am looking for entry level gear

    Best way to do it. Rent at your local site for a few games to get a feel for the game and the kit. While your there, get chatting to the guys - most of us are quite happy to show off gear. It gives you a chance to see, in the flesh, what's out there. Some stuff looks great online, but to...

    New to airsoft, what sort of gear/gun budget am i looking at if i am looking for entry level gear

    Welcome to the forums, Siggy! As Sico said, have a browse over the stickies - they'll offer a tonne of info. Although a lot of people like to spend big bucks on gear, it's all down to personal preference. Better gear doesn't necessarily make you a better player. The main things you need are...

    Delivery companies and reviews ?

    Never had any problems with Parcel Force myself. Delivery prices can be a little steep sometimes, but you get good service to balance it. I've used then a couple of times for larger items I couldn't send via Post Office and never had an issue. I see a lot of couriers coming and going in my...

    The "Post Your Pet" Thread

    No, I'm not trying to get people to send pets via Royal Mail (they would never allow it!). This thread is simply a shameless excuse to show off our fluffy/scaley loved ones. Introducting Luna, my Mastiff/Staff mix. :-) Also have snake and a horse that are my fiancé's, but Luna is the best...

    FPS drop n poor range

    Firstly give the barrel a damn good clean. Took my JG M4 out after 4yrs in the loft. First Chrono it was between 230-300fps. Cleaned it up and have roughly 320ish now. As for accuracy & range: Following advice from guys on here (Profffrink and Hudson, I believe) I've just dropped in a...
