    Think this is a good idea to push soke traffic back this wage, maybe a page as well for updates to appear more in news feeds. :)

    Fair bit by bit and won't really notice the cost to much I guess :)

    Emek thoughts

    Yeah that seem pretty good! I don't know if i had got them all initially but glad they are on there. Worth it slow time but also worth considering around if you want to upgrade bit by bit or save the cash and buy a m170r

    Emek thoughts

    I was really impressed with the Emek. Feels and works far superior to a normal sight marker such as a inferno, tippmann or gog even as 50cal. 50cals do hurt a little less than 68. Though saying that I had a few shots from a bit closer range which stung a bit and some of us had some reasonable...

    Just picked myself up a second hand emek which came fitted with pops asa, st3 bolt, hAir valve, infamous trigger and a carbon FL barrell. Managed to put 50-60 shots through it from what I've had left over in my kit bag. First mech I have had since my first Tippmann98 years ago. Seemed to shoot...

    No not really any second hand sites. Sometimes stuff appears on pre loved/ gum tree and eBay. But majority is Facebook :) No worries at all enjoy playing!

    I would prefer to get everything from the forum. A few years ago it was the best place to do so and easiest to find what you want. Unfortunately now it's split between here and multiple Facebook groups. Which makes it harder to find what you want without posting a question asking for it.

    No worries glad I can help you both! :) The kitchen roll is also helpful for cleaning and wiping your marker at the end of the day at home removing paint and debris along with some cotton bud for getting in recesses under eye covers etc

    I've always done this and never had that issue with kitchen roll, I normally use something like Tesco own brand. Thankfully kitchen roll fibers are better than toilet roll so don't tend to leave hairs. Keep the rolls in my kit bag and just get out each time it's needed if it's excessively...

    Like Tom has said I take a load of mircrofibers or tea towels with me to wipe down and clean markers or hits of yourself. However I'm not a fan of when in the pit cleaning a lense with a microfiber and instead prefer kitchen towel. I'll buy some value rolls throw two in the bag and then can wipe...

    Don't forget you can get some bargain 2nd hand masks as well! I think when I started I bought a cheap new mask and then eventually upgraded with second hand masks and have since hand new and 2nd. I've never bothered with all the different lenses personally. There are definitely times I wish I...

    Masks are again down to personal preference and fit. If attending a walk on it maybe worth asking if people have any spare masks they aren't wearing and try on for comfort (all covid depending as well). Dye masks are very popular but generally quite small sonic you have a large fave/head you may...
