    stay away from army bargins in dublin ,his prices are rather high for camo,
    dont need camo to have fun:D

    not being funny have you tried pennys for camo or olive drab gear works great in all enviroments and cheap too

    I got 'combats' in Penneys - €19 and not too shabby. On Fownes st, someone suggested trying there in the clothes shops there, and low and behold they have 2nd hand Dutch army jackets there for €40 (can be bargained to less). The new ones are €60 which is a bit much, I reckon, the trousers are the same, and not actually better quality than the Penneys version.

    ive bought a few pieces in an army store up at the to end of henry st ( past toymaster) and i found them very well priced....

    was in recently buying dogtags, and just had a goo and stuff seemed cheap enough.

    as Gatling said penny IS an option...
    best off sticking with the actual airsoft shops tho as the price is about the same as pennys...
    all the shops are good although go tactical probably has the most selection in sizes at the mo?
    they do have that knock off flecktarn which is almost luminous...yuck!:p:D

    Another good place is the "Egar Beaver" in temple bar.
    Tons of Olive drab/woodland/DPM and green combats-jackets-jumpers-shirts.
    Nice and cheap.
    And best of all lots of lovely old German gear.

    Army Bargains, or the camping shop place?

    Army Bargains don't always live up to the name, but they can be open to negotiation. I dunno though, I've been a bit reluctant to buy from them since they started stocking stuff with swastikas on it. And not "historical interest" type swastika stuff, neither.

    Aw, don't fear the emos. They're a tolerant, gentle people, who only pose a threat to themselves. Save your precious hatred for the stag party arseholes. At least emos won't vomit on you, and then try to hug you buy way of apology.

    Ugh.

    Bad times.

    Anyone have a recommendation for a walk-in place for boots? I don't wear them normally so I'm not in the humour to fork over a hundred quid for a pair of docs just for airsofting :-)
