All Activity

On Sunday I had my first game at Worthing Airsoft. I was joined by my Son and a friend who has just started airsoft. I won’t go into detail as Impulse has covered it well @Impulsei was admiring the wooden Kar98, if I’d realised it was you I would have come over and said hi. What a great site with a real community feel. I’m not sure who was having more fun, us or the Marshalls. The car park in pretty much in the safe zone so we opted to set up our base in my van. This meant we didn’t have to carry gear about, very different to Apocalypse 😂. Really enjoyed the games, a mixture of classic games and theme based ones kept it interesting. I was in a bush right next to can flip incident impulse mentioned above and have never laughed so much during a game. The site is a good mix of dense scrub which is great for creeping around with a pistol, and standard Sussex woodland. Interesting structures well laid out, not over the top like some sites. The skeleton in the chapel made me jump and got a few rounds! The burger was great, although it would have been nice to have chocolate/snacks available to buy, free tea and coffee though so can’t complain. My SA80 performed really well but my VSR10 was adequate, nowhere near the joule I was expecting which meant the gusty wind made long shots difficult. I think this will be my regular site now and look forward to being more active in the actual game play once I familiarise myself with the site layout.

I apologise to Gavin to, for my general lack lustier, abhorrent spelling, grammar and guttural like sense of hummer. Sorry Gavin!

Said the nun to the bishop

It should fit fine, there are pics of them on 19Xs which are the same frame dimensions, and pics of them on 17s and 19s too. Good choice on the 45, by the way, i have a couple and it's my favourite model. 👌🏻

I'll have to give my EMP another look then. I love it, but it doesn't perform as i'd hoped. (yet.) I'm not really fussed about my 42, i want to like it but it's totally underwhelming, don't know why my mags don't last a whole fill, and i have 3 of them for it. Surprised you don't like the P365 so much. I know it has no hop, but my 4.5 one is pretty accurate. I like the design and ergonomics of it. I kinda want an airsoft one but have 15 pistols already and only really use the same one every time.

Hey, I want to attach Fenix GL22 flashlight to my Glock 45 Gen 5 by Umarex. And my question Is, Is it compatible or not?

Helping a fellow player out today and spotted these very crusty clone #22s , during the conversation he said he was binning them for another set of mounts. I paid for his new mounts and now need to clean them up 🤣 sucker for anything mk12 related.

I tested the Strike EMP today and was getting 220 FPS with a .25. range was a good 40-45 meters which was surprising. For the mini glock I have normal mag and 2 extended mags and all 3 mags mag dump without problem. Mine is the early VFC version that came inside a bible without any indication it was a VFC. The P365 is meh to be honest and even though it CO2 it really needs a hop. It's on my list of things to figure out.

I had a cracking day today at Worthing Airsoft. Not only did I get out of the safe zone today, but I was out properly on time! All my mags were loaded with BBs and gas, and I had managed to adjust the power on my Kar98k up to 2.3J, as the last time I used it was years ago at 1.1J. However, since I bought the Tanaka G33/40 (the mountaineer, shorter version of the Kar98k) and run that at 1.1J with iron sights, my full length PPS Kar98k now has a lovely scope on it and is a proper sniper rifle using a real-steel scope mount. Got it up to about 2.1J and left it there because that was fine and it was shooting really well, even though I do really need to change out the hop rubber and barrel at some point. I was also using my superduper lightweight setup with the Aliexpress velcro belt (it worked really well...), but that did mean I only had 40 shots for my rifle (4x 10rd Kar98k mags). I also decided to use no ghillie and no camo clothing at all, because there are already a LOT of ghillies showing up and there's part of me that wants to just say "you need a ghillie to stay hidden? Skill issue", so the OD Österreich Bundesheer summer kit came out to see just how much I could get away with. It was a lot 😂 Anyway, first game was a simple flip can game and... we got steamrolled. Nobody was playing aggressively to the point where one of my friends had to shame a group of rentals into pushing up after me and him were the front line, me with my 30m MED bolt action and him with a 1.1J lever action. Second game we got let out 3 seconds early to help us not get steamrolled again. I ran (yes, I RAN!) to my spot and there were people already there somehow, so while we got let out early, they must've been let out even earlier! We lost this game too, though at least with this one I managed to burn through basically all of my magazines after respawning. I took another position and terrorised a very busy structure that people love to use as cover; I had a pretty clear line of sight to it at an angle that made it super easy to hit people every time they tried to peek out. Had to ration my ammo and I had a player looking directly at me for about 20 mins, unable to locate where I was shooting from. In my no-camo setup, shooting a wood stocked, unsuppressed, gas Kar98k. When the marshall called 2 mins left and I still had 1 and a half mags left, I decided to shoot the guy who was trying to find me and got him square on the goggles with the first shot. Should've done that earlier 🤣 Next game was Star Wars themed. We had 3 bounty hunters walking around in proper Mandalorian style armour that we had to turn in "bounties" to; they would also shoot anyone who tried to camp them and had juggernaut rules themselves, to dissuade a team from trying to follow them around and stop the other team from getting anywhere near. The "bounties" were a bunch of plushies (I think?) that were hidden around the site. I only played half of this game though, because I realised my hop wasn't hopping like I wanted it and I didn't have a screwdriver out with me to adjust the hop. I wandered around trying to find stuff to do, but they put the objectives at the bottom of the site. With a 30m MED, there's no point me going to the bottom of the site as it is wildly overgrown and is unplayable for me. When I then saw my shots weren't hopping how I wanted, I just decided to head back to the safe zone to set that up. I managed to get it shooting phenomenally well, but I decided to grab an early lunch and have a chat with some of the guys in the safe zone rather than go out. After lunch we played a game where we had to find Darth Vader's helmet, take it to a base and defend that base for a set amount of time. What steam the blues had from the morning had completely gone, and us yellows managed to absolutely dominate this game. It got to the point where a bunch of us were moved off by the marshalls because while we weren't spawncamping them, we had them pinned in one part of the site and they just couldn't break through our lines. I didn't do much this game apart from relay enemy positions. I did get a few crispy shots with the Kar98k, but with my ammo scarcity I was being careful with my shots so I wasn't taking many shots that I wasn't confident I could hit like I might normally with more ammo. 10rd magazines don't last long, see? After this game we played... the most fun game of the day. It was a silly idea one of the head marshalls had where he put three flip cans in a line, and had marshalls standing in a line with them. You could not cross this line and anyone on the other side of the line was an enemy. Why is that distinction important? Because when you were hit, there were no medic rules and you went back to respawn... on the other team. Yes, when you were hit, you joined the enemy team, so you either won by having all three flip cans with your team's colour, or by killing the entire enemy team off. There were so many laughs and this game was absolute gold, though the flip can colour did get very confusing, to the point where one of the regulars managed to crawl all the way up to it... only to flip them to the enemy team's colour, then put them back to neutral when we all yelled at him. It was a really funny game, though the flip can colour was a bit confusing which the marshall admitted. However, the best way to test these games out is to play them, and we all had a massive laugh with it. It was so much fun! Last game of the day was a classic 3 base domination. Not too much to say about it, but it worked well, especially since numbers were down by this point as some people had definitely gone home by this point. Maybe they wanted to beat the traffic as Brighton were playing at home (and yes, we got stuck in football traffic on the way back...), but it went well enough. I got into a really cheeky spot shooting down a main path, but eventually had to move off when a load of people realised where I was and started hosing the barricade with a LOT of BBs. I'm just glad I managed to disengage well enough to avoid getting hit, as in that situation that was the best thing I could do. I also managed to do it without some people realising, so they spent the next 10 - 15 mins continuing to hose that area with BBs despite me being long gone. Sometimes, just leaving the enemy team guessing about your location is better than standing your ground and getting hit. Anyway, I had a lot of fun today. Learning point is that I need to swap my rifle mag pouches and my utility pouch, because having all my rifle mags and pistol mags next to each other means all the weight is on one side and it bounced about a bit. Never even came close to coming loose though, but I think it'll be more comfortable to have the weight a bit more even. Will test next game day.

It's also unusable at 99% of sites

I have a VFC Glock 42 and i really want to like it, but the magazines don't hold enough gas to empty a full load (10 rounds?) and the trigger's horrendous. I have a Strike EMP pistol like yours and it's really nice, but only like 200 fps on 0.2s. Keep meaning to buy one of those P365s as i have a 4.5mm version and i looooooove it. Such a great little gun, shoots so well and fits in the hand perfectly.
