Those caps in the background are a blast from the past.

Back on track! 1st part printed for my China Lake pump action grenade launcher.

A mate of mine has just retired from the Met, he's served in every aspect of their firearms units for over a decade, loved the job, but disheartened by the system, when they charged one of his colleagues with murder, for just doing his job, he nearly handed in his "ticket" along with many others, only thing that stopped him was his impending pension review. But a lot did quit, & previous applicants that didnt quite make the grade were then reconsidered for fast tracked recruitment to the units, in order to fill the considerable gaps. With that in mind, I don't think we can say that accidents won't happen, or mistakes be made, a very recent possible was the synagogue attack just a week ago, one of those killed & one of the injured was as a result of police rounds, we've yet to hear the finer details, that probably won't be made public for at least 6 months while every aspect is investigated, the officers involved will downgraded in their duties, & eventually recommendations may be made to prevent a reoccurrence in the future. My point is, the system takes it very seriously, so much so that should airsoft rifs figure in a police related shooting, the powers that be will have no hesitation in recommending changes in rif ownership, after all we're just a bunch of silly buggers dressing up, & running around playing silly buggers, its highly unlikely that anyone in power will consider that our right to play realistic looking silly buggers will outweigh the need for future public safety or police procedures. Hence why we've got to be on top of our game, so to speak, & enabling anyone, especially non airsofters to cut corners when it comes to rif ownership, is a massive no no. If its true, im disappointed that firesupport is accepting cosplay as a defence, they should know better, but money is money in these difficult times i guess ?.

Your SSgt to drag you by when you misbehave I think it's replacement securing for the quick detach system

For those in the know... What is the cord on the front of the virtus stv for?

True, I freely admit to some old-git nostalgia about how much better it was in my day and all this used to be fields and a Freddo was only 5p etc…

Still getting hit with the 10 limit despite not having 10 things listed 😅 I'll try again tomorrow 😄

Welcome back... It's a friendly welcoming place here, with a great classified section. 😆

@Sifu Steve what Tabis are you wearing here? I've been looking for some like these for a while.

I mean, firearms officers are few and far between. UK police have a much, much lower rate of armed officers than most anywhere else in the world. Someone getting shot for having a RIF just doesn't seem likely to lead to banning RIFs IMO. I get that it's the collective bogeyman of the UK Airsoft scene because the government is thick as mince regardless of leader or party, but still.

As someone who remembers the IRC and Forum heyday, you just described an awful lot of old forums ngl. Some sites you could have a page of discussion fly through a thread between starting and ending your post. Plus all the etiquette like never double posting, giving fully paragraphed answers to things that aren't as relevant now because, well, forums are a shadow of what they were sadly. I find Discord useful for getting answers to questions but I definitely find a lot of servers a bit too high tempo to keep up with. Better organised ones can have things like slowmode channels for preventing inane prattering, and much like the old forum days, the quality lives and dies on how diligent the mods are about actually enforcing the rules.

Well it's up to the server owner/mod, there are ways to make locked threads with guides and stuff like this, have threads dedicated to pictures/videos and anything in between. I'd stay away from huge servers like Airsoft International, that place is an absolute shithole and everyone there is mega entitled.. I prefer smaller servers, where new people are invited to (can't publicly join) and where discussions are actually enjoyable and knowledge is actually shared.

New to Airsoft forums and got back into airsofting again. Been airsofting since i was 11 in 2004, until about 2012 with Ambush Adventures and Team Armadillo! currently looking to attend Gunman Airsoft eversley quiet frequantly, went a few weeks ago and it was a blast! seems like airsoft forums in the place to be these days, at least for selling/buying what with facebook/discord rules. o/ o7

OK, where do I get one of those then....?
