Thanks everyone for the advice and guidance. I know the advice was to buy the TM gun but I ended up going with the WE, the weight and balance of the gun was just right and the supplying shop is only 10 mins away if it goes wrong, sorry and genuine thanks to everyone for their time in giving me guidance. Also picked up a couple of 30 round (extended) mags, to my eye the 40 round (extended) mags were just a bit much and standard 24 round were a bit normal. Managed to get a full mag and a full reload before running out of gas on both the standard and extended mags which I was quite happy with as I just took a small speed loader out in my pocket to double my ammo capacity. Tape is just there to help me recognise /recover it if it gets lost on a game day. Gun shot well on Sunday, 255fps on .28's which it shot straight and true. Me on the other hand needs more practice with a pistol before any level of accuracy can be determined. Enjoyed the GBB element so much I'm now wondering a if a GBB rifle should be in my future rather than a bolt action sniper but that's a question for another day.

Another great day at Invicta Woodlands on Sunday, hot and sticky but not a lot you can do about that on a warm day after a thunder storm. Being father's day it was fairly quiet with around 75-80 players, half the usual crowd. No snipers, at least 3 mini guns and a lot of new players ment it was going to be a different kind of day. For kit I took my upgraded MP5K which I used for most of the first game until I got to hot and dumped it and its mags in the safe zone and went pistol only. MP5 with a drum mag for the second game using it as a support weapon to help keep the other team pinned down. For the last game I went with my new Sig 226 pistol only which made for a fun hour. First game was capture and hold the flag, two hour game which felt about right and due to the smaller than usual number of players the game flowed quite well, there weren't enough players to hold all of the flags so with a good push you could take a flag with 3/4 players. This type of game can drag out with bigger teams as once a team are dug in you just can't move them. Dumped the MP5K, mags, belt etc etc towards the end as I was just to hot, took the Sig 226 and a couple of 30 round mags out and just ran at the other team which worked well as everyone was flagging by that point, chalked up 3 back to back frags as I ran around the other teams flank. Second game was recover the boxes to base, first game we were trying to stop the other team. Rules are you need two people to carry a box and you can't fire while carrying. I used the MP5 with a drum mag (mostly) on full auto to help keep the other team from advancing. Really enjoy this type of game as they are very fluid with the action moving around the map with the teams and the boxes so its very fast and fluid, one quick advance or a well placed defender can change the game in a second. Third game was the reverse with our team moving the boxes, decided to leave the AEG(s) in the safe zone as it was scorching by this point, it was getting late in the day so I choose to play carry and run. With just the Sig on my hip, a spare mag and one of the much younger rentals we grabbed a box and ran, and made it to the drop point before the other team got there to stop us. Towards the end of the game when it got more intense I ended up with a riot shield in one hand and the Sig in the other heading to the drop off point, 4 rentals carrying boxes and a few team members providing cover fire, was one of the most intense fire fights I've been in and I will have bruises for a week. A plot twist was each team had 3x traitors who were wearing your colours but actually playing for the other team and you had to flush them out as you played. Got shot in the back while advancing a couple of times and called traitor on a team mate who was actually just a bad shot, LOL. Really great day out, similar games to usual but with much smaller teams the tactics and game play were different. Liked the pistol, just need to learn to conserve the ammo and do some target practice. Bring on the next game!

Why, you can't get internet inside the house? 🤔

But that involves going outside

Pretty sure VR headsets in bed are intended for something very different.

Nah, I'm gonna sit in my bed with my vr headset on & just send an android avatar in my place🤖

No, we'll just argue online about whose gun is better. Wait, hold on..

I wonder how practical it would be to do a coat of plasti-dip first, then accents on top of that. In principle, it could be peeled off, although it might be a sod to get it all off.

Future airsoft games are going to be fought from the safe zone, aren't they?

Just a quick update and a glimmer of hope to those who worry about doing stuff to aeg's, I had about 30% confidence in this m4 but we took it out on Saturday to a skirmish and other than one of the mags playing up and not feeding properly, it worked a treat. Went through chrono fine as the spring had settled and enough hop on a 0.28g to be decently accurate. Happy days. On to the g36....😂

I'm thinking the drone solution in the immediate future will be more drones. Absolutely loads of them saturating an area, be it tethered or auto land, charge, take off at designated charge stations. That way they'll always be x amount I'm the air. When they're destroyed, a new "order" is generated to replace to that area. They'll be connected like a MESH radio network to transmit silly long distance. All have thermal capabilities to identify enemy drones including fibre optic drones and designate them to be destroyed by hunter killer type drones that are auto launched.
