wait what? £120 for a no name bit of junk when you can pick up a genuine surefire for less?!
MADNESS.
MADNESS.
I very nearly did buy the surefire P3X Fury, but I could not find enough information out about it which satisfied my requirements - mainly information about compatibility with other products. I was about to buy it when I found this alternative.
Tried to keep my post short, I'm sorry:
£55 Fenix PD35 Flashlight
£10 Fenix Rail mount
£10 Fenix pressure-switch/tape-switch (sadly it's just a line of switches and not what I would have expected),
£25 (4x£6) Compatible Fenix filter caps - all three colours, cus i'm like that, though i'll be able to change the spare red for a clear disc and it will make mounting clear perspex discs much simpler than having to improvise.
£20 Batteries - rechargeable
I also got some Surefire Earprotection.

I am really liking it, but its quite a shame about the "pressure switch", it's my understanding these should activate on touch, this one however requires me to arch my fingers to be able to apply pressure, its perfectly workable but not what I would expect to be designed for 20% the price of a £55 device.
Wish the torch had more candlepower too. But I really like the 5 power settings, I think their lumens are 15 ,250,450, 750, 950 and strobe, or something like, but the strobe can't be activated from the tailswitch.

By Bolle Goggles just arrived 
I Think I'll get some Glasses eventually, But I'm not sure The'll count as full face coverage. (Under 18s)
Now All that's left is to go shoot them, make sure they'll Work. I'm not particularly keen to shoot something I just spent £30 on, But it's better than being blind.

So your like me with flashlights, like to get the extras
Did the same with my xtar light last year and got the extras!, don't use pressure switch either, find it easier to just use thumb

Yeah, I'm gonna get one of those at my local shop, this way I can test If they fit with the mask. They're also the guys who run Badlands, So I can ask about the rules too.
Well it's not a pressure switch it's just a row of switches.
As for extras, not really I wanted a weapon light that's what I got. Admittedly the beam is not as focused as a true weapon light, but it will do, I can always put a matt black cylinder/cone around the end if I need to focus it.

It's just a military surplus vest, they're fairly cheap. Got mine from eBay, it's grade 1 but no noticeable marks or damage.

The goggles you've bought have been designed to meet the test criteria for CE EN166 which governs the standards for mechanical impact protection and clarity of view for protective eyewear. These tests are designed for repeatable results and as such are standardised in lab conditions. Manufacturers have to regularly provide test samples to be able to continue to put the CE mark on their products. These tests are far more scientific and accurate than you firing at them with your gun. If the goggles are certified to EN166 B (medium impact) then they will be absolutely fine and do not need you to "test" them first.The What marking?

If they are only certified to EN 166F then you've bought the wrong thing and "testing" them with your gun will again prove nothing more than your own lack of knowledge.
"Testing" them with a springer will be about as much use as a one legged man at an arse kicking contest considering you may be exposed to someone with a 500FPS sniper rifle when you take them out in anger. It's like testing a cars impact protection by kicking the bumper.
