    Headset Mounts That Love To Pop Out Of The Rail - Recommendations For Something That Actually Works

    Holy thread resurrection, Batman!  I ended up buying 3M ones in the end (link above in one of the comments).  They work a treat, as you would expect.

    Sniper rifle or dmr

    As alternatives, if you've got the cash an Archwick B&T Air SP300 is an option.  It's built with all the upgrades you'd want to add. I have one, and it's very nice.  For a less pricey option, a pal runs an Action Army AAC T10, which is a VSR clone, so plenty of upgrade options.  You can get...

    Comms espionage

    Site/game rules override all, but if it's not defined there's nothing wrong with a bit of SIGINT.  Listening in on a channel is fine.  Blocking/spamming the channel is pushing the boundries of sportsmanship; may your conscience be your guide.  Don't even think to fuck around on the Marshalls'...

    Helmet advise

    I have a 61cm head, but have the added fun of a long-shaped skull rather than a round one (xenomorph/motorcycle petrol tank), so getting a helmet that fit was an absolute PITA.  I ended up going to SOCOM in Fleet as they have a wide range of helmets to try.  I wasn't holding out much hope; the...

    Helmet advise

    Helmets will make you hot and uncomfortable.  I use one, but only for CBQ games indoors; even then the positives barely outweigh the negatives.  If you really want something to protect your noggin, you can get a bump cap insert for a baseball cap, like...

    Another big name gone

    Not to mention the deluge of oh-so-funny 'Rate My Kit' posts of 'non-political' SS or Russian gear (usually swapping the t for a p in 'Rate' in the title too).  Bunch of edgy turbovirgin shite.

    Very torn on what airsoft gun to buy, URG-I's preference.

    Fire Support have them in stock, and within your budget. https://www.firesupport.uk/tokyo-marui-recoil-m4-urg-i-115inch-sopmod-block3-aeg.html

    Sniper backup???

    I know this is putting the cart before the horse, but seeing that Polenar holster has made me want to pick up an MP5. Seeing as I'm about to dip my toe into the murky world of bolt actions, I'm going to give lugging my MP7 around as a secondary a go.  My thinking being that if I fancy being...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Difficult to enforce, but not impossible.  Show your ears as you leave the safe zone.  I had a mask on, but would be able to whip it back a bit to show I had plugs in were I wearing them.  I do see your point though, as it would be extra faff.  I suppose the other way is to meet in the middle...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    @Cannonfodder About 10 minutes or so.  Enough to do your admin before the next game briefing.  Game briefings were fairly quick too, other than a couple of moments where rules had to be re-explained (rules around stairs were a bit complex, and turned into a Q&A), and a warning about Pyro...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Spent Sunday morning at RIFTs new Blackstone CQB site in Huntingdon.  First impressions are that it's really good.  They've obviously put a lot of time, money and effort into it.  The set-up area is massive, with plenty of space for everyone.  The permanent White Sphere Tactical shop is full of...

    L85

    Nah, that's only for 2-point slings.  The issue SA-80 sling was a 3-point that hugged your rifle close to you when you needed both hands free.  You had a release buckle that you could unclip when you needed more room to go prone or wave it about a bit.  A fun test was undoing that clip to see...

    Headset Mounts That Love To Pop Out Of The Rail - Recommendations For Something That Actually Works

    Pointy bits inward, yeah? ? It's not impossible, but given that I've tried fitting them every which way with the same result, I'm going to say it's improbable.  Either I've been blessed with a Friday afternoon batch, or you're the lucky one with the decent QC.  Either way, luck of the draw.

    Headset Mounts That Love To Pop Out Of The Rail - Recommendations For Something That Actually Works

    Yeah, might just do that.  Nice one.  The cost bit was more around the rails than the mounts (£144 for gen Ops-Core if the FMA rails are shitty too), but I guess if I wanted to avoid a money pit I picked the wrong hobby. ?

    Headset Mounts That Love To Pop Out Of The Rail - Recommendations For Something That Actually Works

    Hi there.  Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I'm getting into comms, and recently bought a pair of headset mounts for my helmet (FMA FAST helmet, FMA helmet mounts, Earmor M32 Plus headset).  Problem is, the mounts will pop out of the rail if I try to move the headset out the way (or even...
