Shardik Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm glad grads and shotgun is fine then. All those years of running around lightfighter urban (best site Evah) has taught me a lot! And what bits of kit are most appropriate. Pistols and flashlights are a must. Hwagan: was actually meaning to pm you about that lol, cheers dude! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 There's a shop, Viking Airsoft (Run by a guy who *really* knows his stuff and is an amazing player, great guy etc.) who sell the Thunderflashes for £10 for 5. Not cheap of course, but a bit cheaper than ordering them online. He looked familiar when I was down there last. Did he used to work at Airsoft Armoury? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm glad grads and shotgun is fine then. All those years of running around lightfighter urban (best site Evah) has taught me a lot! And what bits of kit are most appropriate. Pistols and flashlights are a must. It's a good point to highlight. I changed my entire handgun and holster setup around completely after I played at the mall. Anyone who doesn't have any kind of light right now (normally play woods at the day or generally at open/lit skirmish sites) then you can pick up pretty decent chinese clones for all of about $12 on the bay (ultrafire, spiderfire etc), you'll definitely be gad you have it. Not as tactical as an element copy of a surefire, but in my experience they're actually better built and for less money. Link to post Share on other sites
Shardik Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 As above. I've used surefire, wolfeyes, insight ect flashlights in the past. Due to many of the airsoft replicas not being up to the job and to be honest? What a waste of money. But Element M3x/6 replicas, they cost next to nothing and offer more than enough light. Far superior to the VFC and GP lights I've owned. This will be my first outing to mall but from what I hear, if flashlights are a must. I will have 3. One on my shogun. One on my sidearm and one on my lid. It's the difference between life and death (sounds more ROAR than 'hit or not' ) Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 One on my shogun. I didn't know it was possible to attach a flashlight to a medieval Japanese warlord Link to post Share on other sites

Dagonet Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 "wonders" if i can tape a G17 to a 2D maglight So quality small torch is a must have then. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Just some kind of illumination really. Ideally two at least so that you've always got the option of light whether you've got your rifle in action or your secondary in your hands (if you run two guns that is). As with any low/no-light situation really, you preferably want to be able to throw a beam whatever weapon you're firing or task you're performing; but if you can't get 2 or 3 then really you want 1 small torch as a minimum purely for navigating between the game areas and the safe zone, or when you're going for regen after being hit. It will be cold in there (I last played back in jan/feb time) and it leaks so there's water in places. I'd recommend a helmet personally, definitely not a place to go low-profile on the face pro either. You can get away with that a bit more in big woodland sites but you get a lot of guys in fairly small rooms there sometimes. If you've got gucci fire resistant uniforms wear those as well, but that's another story... Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 One thing that works great in the Mall is to take a spare hand-held torch. When you're taking cover behind a wall in the tunnels, and shooting down the corridor, place the torch on the floor of the *other* side of the corridor. It'll light your targets up, they won't see *suitcase*, and they'll aim at the light source, which is a metre away from you. He looked familiar when I was down there last. Did he used to work at Airsoft Armoury? Not sure! He's a thin, black chap called Pete. Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 SSSHHHHH! Dr Alex you are giving away all my tricks! (perspex lens protector essential for that trick) I found that a red filter was handy too on your weapon light so you can navigate stairs and corridors without giving your position away to the entire site , then flip open the filter to use white light to dazzle the enemy when storming a room... Also IR activated LED spotlights with magnetised bases for sticking to the overhead pipework in the basement corridors... Jim Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thank goodness i have a light for my 1911 then (well handheld and in the Harries technique, TM 1911s don't have 'that' much recoil) Plus most of my stuff, aside from guns and mags i can take on my plane flight down, yet will still be travelling light 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
StarMonkee Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 You can with the correct application of duck tape. Those who have ever attend an MA event know this to well I'll most likely be running my Dboys PDW if I ever get it fixed, if not MK23 with tracer unit Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Then you pull the trigger a few times, and fling, off it goes Might be a reason to buy a VFC 1911 light, hmm. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

Excessive drinking bilberry juice may cause diarrhea...bilberry side effects may include mild digestive distress, skin rashes and drowsiness.. Better pack that respirator!

Bando Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 flash lights are a must yes. i also remember seeing a black guy with a .22 deringer sitting behind a door taunting the 20 guys on the other side to try and come and have a go. XD Link to post Share on other sites

FireKnife Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Or two for the first two in the door then put hands up and shout hit? Either way i would rather take the inevitable than the excessive pain that is going to come. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Which is why I got myself a PC to use at the Mall over the chest rig I have (which has no back plate whatsoever haha) Was talking this over with my squadmates - has anyone played PayDay: The Heist? We're considering doing our own take on that at some point, possibly at the Mall. It isn't too original, but looks awesome. EDIT: Pic added Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Reminds me of Point Break meets The Dark Knight . Still would be a laugh, though for me as much as i would like to rock a suit i would have to get it to the site, and guns / kit take precedence. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
