This looks like a bargain, Great shout!!

 

Opinions would be very much welcomed.

As said before, swap the mask and you'll be fine!

Maybe?

Anyone know if glasses fit under them?

Some people say the glasses fog up, but not tooooo sure.

Some sites may require you wear a full face mask depending on your age.

I like mesh, some people don't. I feel that they are safe for where I play, I use herosharks and they are seriously good, shot them with a 500 fps sniper and it is ridiculous.

bolles should be ok but IDK much about them, I believe the glasses have the certificate but not the goggles or something like that, IK a lot of people use bolle glasses on here, just go on the quick questions and answers thread and ask or post a new status update or even on here. there is a video, I reckon they are safe. You should always fire them a few times beforehand just to check. Are you gonig to wear a mesh lower? BBs can take out and have taken out teeth... however a lot of people don't wear mesh lowers. I have been shot in that area although I always wear a mesh lower.

 

On another note, 1k posts!

Airsoft World are doing some metal receiver Combat Machines for £150 in run up to Xmas. Apparantly they guarantee it the best offer in UK. In black or Dark Earth with individualised serial numbers. Doubt they will be in stock for long though. Details were on their e-newsletter, can't link off my phone sorry!

Yeah I used to wear full face for paintball and they were fine but expensive......

 

I would imagine glasses to be ok as the air can get around them depending on what your wearing ie scarf etc

there you go scroll down a bit. I do like the design, although it is just fake magpul furniture, they aren't bad and at that price with a nice metal receiver, worth it!

doesn't really look like it would stop a bb. I recommend buying one, they are like 5 quid on ebay, see how you get on with it and if you don't feel like wearing it no one will stop you, depends what you feel comfortable with.

 

 

Congratulations :)

cheers :D

Oh wow I didn't realise there was only a thousand of those 30th anniversary models, or that they were metal!! :( :(

I'm not allowed any more airsoft guns so it's not gonna be possible for me to get one.

Damn.

this... this this this. you be kiddin' yourself if you get something else

all of them will be sufficient. unless I am mistaken: the "CM" models are combat machines, those that isn't CM would perform better than the CM.

MOSFET it acts as an electronic gate between the trigger switch and the motor in the gearbox - similiar to the solenoid in your car's starter and your ignition switch.

It will not increase your FPS at all, however combined with other mods they can increase your ROF. They also make the electrical system more efficient since your trigger will not simply dump the uncontrolled full battery voltage directly into the motor without one, and the more advanced systems can support fine tuned firing modes like 3 round burst (aka 3RB)

 

As to what everyone else said about a new gun, heres a what I have told people in the past. Airsoft is a hoby first, but its more than that. If you get hooked, and you truly love to play, you will grow with it. Meaning, you will see other players with load outs you admire, and want to emulate. You may already have a particular load out in mind you want to portray. Base your weapon preference off of that. In the long run, you will build your kit around the gun. Supposing you buy an M4 and all the goodies, then one day you see the most kick picture of a Russian load out, and you HAVE to do that. Now you have to look at getting a new gun. The gun should be a reflection of what YOU want, what YOU want to portray. At the end of the day, you have to be the one who is happy.

Thanks that's a really nice piece of advice. Looks like I'll be trying to complete to load outs then ("what a shame") eventually as I'd like one for wood, other for cqb.

I think mesh can be good and bad. I mean, no fogging etc etc, something I really like, but a bb can go through. A lot of the energy is lost when a bb shatters, but still not a very nice thing to get fragments in your eye, and it has happened to people on here. I do however believe in heroshark. He makes very good quality mesh, tried and tested by me it with stands 500 fps+ I will test out a mask like that against 500 fps, it probably won't survive but what the hell eh?

I use mesh a lot. A friend of mine was borrowing my mesh eye pro for a back garden plink and a bit of messing around- I shot at him with my DMR, the shot went wide and hit him directly on the mesh eyepiece. These were £12 goggles, and the DMR fires at about 425FPS.

There was only a minor dent on the eyepiece of the goggles where the BB had hit.

Nothing else.

yey/ney. the yanks have higher fps limits. then again, some china mesh is lower quality. my mesh have been hit at point blank and it only have a small dent. some argue that paint coming of when shot can injure the eye, some (Ian) argue that it wont (after looking at some eye specialists video, I'd tend to agree). but it's our eyes after all, so may not be worth any risk or speculation either. hence I run plastic goggles with mesh lower.

 

 

 

How likely is that?

(Note, that's a proper question not like a feck you it aint gonna happen one)

only need to happen once. a friend of mine always use full face protection, except for that once when he lent it out and used goggles only.. that once that he got his tooth shot out.

For the extra £10 or so, I would just buy ballistic rated goggles. I have viper goggles they cost me £18 (not exactly a fortune) and they're good because I can wear my glasses underneath them, they do steam up if ive done a lot of running around, but just slightly lifting them from my skin removes the fog in a few seconds.

Mesh probably is okay in most situations, but what if your teammate does accidentally shoot-you from pointblank I wouldnt trust it in that scenario.
