Cheeky vimto Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 So I've gone airsofting a grand total of... THREE times. I'm completely hooked. This is what I've gathered in the 6 weeks, how am I doing? Am I missing anything?
Cheeky vimto Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 I've ordered an 1800 lumen flash light which I'll add to the collection
Mike636 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Think you have everything you need TBH perhaps a sling and a waterproof jacket for the winter!
Cheeky vimto Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 Think you have everything you need TBH perhaps a sling and a waterproof jacket for the winter! I ordered a sling off ebay but didn't realise it's coming from china...
Supporters Monty Posted October 19, 2013 Supporters Posted October 19, 2013 Bloody hell that's a lot of stuff, lol. You may want to consider getting some thicker clothing since the weather's going to get a lot worse.
Cheeky vimto Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 I'm waiting on the Chinese post fairy too! I got hit with customs charges last time, not looking forward to it this time.. As for thicker clothes, I play CQB in an old bunker so I get fairly hot at the moment.
Mike636 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Well mines only a few pistol springs, only left HK on Thursday
Cheeky vimto Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 Mine was the rails for my gun and they charged me £13. It's only a piece of metal!
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted October 20, 2013 Supporters Posted October 20, 2013 Am I missing anything? Taste? MTP/MC... eeeeurgh! No, you've got it pretty sorted there, mate. You might want to go with some kind of reusable grenade. I don't use one, but that's because I have a really bad habit of losing things (actually I'm thinking of going ahead anyway), but a lot of regular skirmishers do. You could also go with a/some specific pouch/es for any pyros you use often. Pouches designed for spring loaded batons are very good for a couple of MK5 flashbangs, but I dunno if you can get them in MTP/MC. 40mm grenade pouches are good for smoke bombs and thermobaric 'nades. Regarding clothing, I think it's better to keep something warm, like a big jacket, dry in the safe zone so you can put it on over your webbing in between skirmishes. Like an athlete putting on a tracksuit between contests. I get hot enough running about that even soaking wet light shirts are plenty warm enough, it's only when I stop that cold/wet will bother me. I'm waiting on the Chinese post fairy too! Me three... it's my habitual state lol! A little frisson of excitement with every item - how long will this one take, 6 days, 3 weeks, maybe it wont get here at all? Will I get hit by Customs, will I be lucky? It's better than the lottery...
Cheeky vimto Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 So three months on and I've upgraded my gear and had some nice little additions. I seem to be stuck on what else to get, any ideas?
Russe11 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Get another gun As you seem to have your loadout sorted and a need to spend more money, it must be time to get a different gun and start another loadout Landwarrior have those stens for £100 still, WW2 gear will keep you busy and your bank manager unhappy
Cheeky vimto Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 WW2 hasn't really interested me to be honest. I was thinking of joining the common M4 club. All my guns are tokyo marui, I was fancying something in full metal. Any suggestions?
Cheeky vimto Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 HK416! I've just googled it, that is really sexy!
Supporters Esoterick Posted January 27, 2014 Supporters Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah I like the 416, it is like an M4 but a bit different. For me it was a case of looking at guns and seeing a HK416 and going "that one!" - if you were interested in getting one the contenders are the VFC, G&G(4-18) and the TM Recoil shock version.

Which one did you get?
Zak Da Mack Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Can't beat the 416. It's German thinking of getting a G&G 416 when I can afford it. Heard that the TM one is very good and VFC seems very popular (although I think it's only for the trades) And if you get a 416 you could make one of those increasing more popular "devgru" load outs (What does devgru even mean?)
Sam_G Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 DEVGRU = Development Group A TM 416 will be mine in the summer....or maybe a WE 416?

I know I said I wanted something other than a TM but it sounds pretty cool. Might get one at the end of the year, currently in the process of buying my first house at the moment. http://www.airsoftgames.com/marui-hk416d-p-1237.html
Supporters Esoterick Posted January 27, 2014 Supporters Posted January 27, 2014 Which one did you get? The Tokyo Marui version It is the most expensive, but as soon as I fired it I knew I was buying it. There is a TM HK416 DEVGRU edition now, I might be mistaken but it looks like it is just external changes - silencer, vertical foregrip, pistol grip and single point stock tube sling point plus the iron sights and butt stock are changed. Sods law that became available just after I bought my gun as most of those changes are what I will do anyway lol. DEVGRU is what Seal Team 6 used to be called btw, or rather what succeeded it.

Guns can't Devgru was seal team 6? Sort of makes sense. I thought it was people who made uber-real load outs cause dey iz da best
Supporters jcheeseright Posted January 27, 2014 Supporters Posted January 27, 2014 while we're on the TM M4/armalite train, echigoya are doing free shipping on SOCOM, SOPMOD and CQBR recoil shock guns right now, I just picked up a recoil shock M4A1 SOCOM for £270... for that money you CANNOT buy a better gun.

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted January 27, 2014 Supporters Posted January 27, 2014 IIRC there's a question hanging over the VFC 416 reliability, no? BTW, does anyone know if you can buy a 416 receiver on its own?
