what are you looking to do? play recball or tournament? because gillie suits etc are for recball and recball only
as you are in manchester i would suggest going down to planet eclipse and talking to the ppl there. they will be able to set you up with a good deal
as for buying things like the
VL Triton Semi Auto
Spyder Victor
Spyder Aggressor XT (Green)
i would suggest that you contemplate the type of games you want to play. i know from experience now that if you buy a low range spyder for £90 new that it is hard to sell it for anywhere near that price and that you would b better saving for a little longer...
basically think about what you want to do and then go down to planet tell them what you want to do and they will let you get the feel of the guns etc
hope that helps...didnt realise i had typed so much
