rough estimate for this saturday? if you were 2 venture a calculated guess?

About 6-10 people. Enough for some good games.

And that's a conservative estimate.

Well im sure the outdoor battles would be class in anycase, i cant wait

Shiva

My first time was last week, and the outdoor stuff was great craic.
Even if I barely managed to actually fire my gun before getting KIA'd.

Next time....it will be different !!

[--SC(+)PE--]

*prods Shiva* head up this saturday so

Shiva

I can't

I'm limited to the amount of time I can devote to going to skirmishes.

I was just reading on the ASI site yesterday about the Predator Summer Event this year, and it sounds awesome. And of course, I can't make it.

And if you think you have no free time now, just wait until after junior arrives. Say goodbye to sleep for the next 2 years.

Maplins is your friend.

Hay Fallschirmjager, I have the ICS CQB M4, I will be intrested to have a look at yours, compare and contrast and all that.Sounds the same, all metal, laser, etc but mine has standard rectractable stock.

They are perfect for HRTA though, really handy for poking around corners all crafty like:cool:

The charger doesnt need to be airsoft specific, just a good charger for the likes of r/c cars that can charge a 7 cell pack

Blanchardstown still has a couple of items, and Mary St had a large selection of various RC batteries and chargers. I didn't notice any actual RC models, but I wasn't particularly looking, so I dunno.

Yes indeed, I think we have fine taste sir!
I'll catch up with you sometime at HRTA anyway, there are only 2 of us CQB jobbies so we'll know eachother I think;)

Oh and maplins in town said they did not do any RC stuff anymore and sent me to Smyths who only had crappy chargers that wernt up to the task.

Not that I'm doubting you or anything, but was it the security guard that said that ? I was in there last week looking for a charger, and I asked one of the floor staff, who then asked the security guard, and indeed...he sent me into Smyths. Like you say, they had nothing I wanted, so I went back into Maplin's, thinking the SG was talking through an orifice he shouldn't have been talking through, and sure enough, in front of the cash desk there's 2 four foot shelf sections full of batteries and chargers of various types. Batteries were all 7.2 and 9.6 of various sizes, and the variety of chargers was pretty comprehensive.

kdouglas

there is a model shop on capel street, bring the battery with you and they'd probably be able to find a charger to fit

there is also mark's models on hawkins street

ive never tried to get a charger in dublin, but either one of those places would be your best bet id say

I think it was one of the floor staff. It was mad busy but I though it very odd they had no chargers!
He was quite rude anyway so I just left, I cant stand Maplins for this sometimes.

Green hobby and model should have what you want, there in harolds cross but dont let them rip you off. I got my mum to buy me a charger in there cos she was near it and they charged her 25 euro for a slow charger. http://www.greenhobbymodel.com/
