Recballsports sell lots of OPSGEAR and other scenario related equipment.

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/RecBallSportsUK_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm

If they haven't got any OPSGEAR stuff in stock, they can order it for you - less hassle than getting it shipped direct from the US and having trouble with customs and charges etc.

If you're interested in pistols, its best to get a Tiberius 8. Recballsports can stock them if you ask them, but they don't sell them via eBay due to its rules.

Pistols not that much use in my view as never get close enough to use them. Even a standard cheap gun these days out fires them easily. Use to have one kid come to our site who had two of them strapped to his chest in a swat vest. Also had a A5 with laser on it... he did look the business but was a right dick ! Between games he use to sit in and corner but on his black shades and try to fix his guns. His mates use to rip the piss and he could not see anything to clean the guns, but wanted to look cool !He also use to put his A5 down and draw both guns in slow motion ready to shoot people ! So weird to watch and even funnier when he got shot to hell ! The fool also use to wonder why he got shot out so often, when playing arenas know as Shadow Lands. All you could see was a red laser line leading back to where he was trying to snipe from..... sadly he comes no more !

lol - that's hilarious!

Its fair to say that pistols don't get used that much, but they can be useful if your marker goes down for some reason during a game either temporarily or permanently [even if you're just out of paint etc]. A pistol does give you a chance to defend yourself for a limited period of time.

There were a couple of ocassions at Bandwagon last sunday when my primary marker failed or ran out of gas, when a pistol would have given me some ability to stay in the game and defend myself at close quarters.

At the place where i play there is a jungle level where there is really high grass u go through. It is really close quarter battle, i was just thinking of insted of lugging my big gun around it would be better and quicker to go through with a pistol. What do u think? is it still worth getting one?

:rolleyes:

you'd be better off just using a short barrel e.g. 6 inch on your tippmann for Close quarters work.
