All Activity

Had my second game day since breaking my ankle yesterday, at Sextion8 up here in Scotland. Still having to take it steady, especially as the site is both very rough terrain being a plantation forest site, and had gotten a little boggy with the rain lately. Managed to get to about 2:30 before my hip seized up and I went back to the car for a lie down. First outing for my bolt action Mk12 and my VFC AK74M. The Mk12 performed excellently, absolutely uncanny range on it. It's really nice having AR ergonomics on a sniper. The VFC AK was just a solid performer and very fun. I seem to have a very strange hop issue with both guns though, if anyone has some advice. I'd shoot at a guy and watch the BB fly right to them, but just before impact it would disappear. Very strange. Many shots where I was sure I saw the BB hit through a magnified scope, it simply didn't. Maybe a trick of the light? My opponents seemed to flinch at the BB disappearing but appeared unhit. That aside, very fun day overall. Hip issues aside I managed to keep up and keep pushing for most of the day, and I think that's not bad going. Still having trouble explaining what Airsoft is to my Physio but she says it sounds like good exercise either way.

Great day at Apocalypse Kent yesterday, starting to have abetter understanding of the map now. Took a mate with me so packed the MP5K, LCT G3 (its first outing) and WE SIG 226 for me an my spare MP5 and spare WE SIG 226 for my mate, with his favourite bit of kit the 1200 round drum mag. Weather was good, not too hot but muggy towards the end. Shop well stocked and I picked up a big pot of BB's as my mate went full auto for most of the day. First game was Bring your teams flag (Blue or Red) back to your base and then try and take the extra (Yellow flag) to your enemy's base as if it was an explosive and try and keep it there. Was a hot and heated game with Ghilles sending defenders back to re spawn at an alarming rate. Strange end to the game with the Blue team camped out in the Red base and Blue team camped out in the Red base, Red team won as they took the Yellow flag to the Blue base with them. After lunch the Blue team had the honour of moving three explosive devices (big cases) to three locations to blow them up. It was tough as they had to do it in order and each box could only be carried by specific (marked) team memebers, if made it to two of the locations they won if the Reds could keep them out of two they won. Reds camped out in the first and second locations and picked off the case carriers. Blues got the first location but it was late in the game so win to the Reds. There was a medical issue in the second game so while that was being taken care of the third game was moved to the village and run as a very tight, semi only CQB. Stick in a bucket in the middle of the village if it was Red at the top they won if it was Blue at the top they won. Blues were first into the village and held it for the first half of the game but the Reds flanked both sides and picked them off then covered the Blue route back from their respawn. Red win for this game and more critically the medical was sorted and guy was recovered to fight another day. MP5K is still intermittently losing full auto and having feeding/consistency issues which needs a proper tech to sort as its above my pay grade. G3 shot well but it's a heavy lump for sub 350fps so needs DMR'ing quickly to make it worth the weight penalty. SIG was epic and used to great effect in the CQB game at the end. Mate loved the MP5 and as expected went full auto for the first two games and went to mid cap sticks for the semi only final game, I think he enjoyed the SIG but full auto is his thing I can see a LMG or mini gun in his future. There were a few called out for not taking hits but I think it was mostly shooters overestimating their skill (and range) and calling players out at 70m where there was no chance of them making the hit with a 1j AEG. A few Ghilles made the game tough so my rule of shoot at any bush that moves worked quite well. Fun day had by all!! Hope to get my EBB AK back from the menders this week Crack on and get the G3 booked in and built MP5K is going back tomorrow as its still under warranty

This sounds like so much fun, I love the LARP aspect

Having “supressor” irons with a red dot is a vibe man!

Can you not just take the ironsight off? I thought the whole point of having a red dot on a pistol was to replace the irons not add to them?

Maybe get yourself some earpro if you're running it on CO2 btw. Especially indoors it's genuinely loud enough to warrant it.

To me it sounds like the airsoft equivalent of someone selling a second hand car saying the dvla have the log book

I agree. I always see it as a red flag. I always assume they're trying to shy away from responsibility if anything is wrong or disclosing if it had been used or modified in a way that would drop its value further. I know one genuine case where the friend was no position to sell his own kit but that was an exception.

Sooo just an update I got the URG-I ....I'm am in love haha 😂 first vfc gbbr. Had a mws like 3 years ago, but it always felt a little underwhelming 🙈 sure some will hate me for saying that lol. The recoil is amazing 👏 my ears ring after a couple of shots. Reliability? Not sure yet only had it three days. Seem bomb proof though. Accuracy is brilliant i find, slinging the .3s I've got for fun. It came with a co2 mag and a moderator. Pretty sure the moderator makes it louder? Lol. Haven't tried the co2 mag and probably won't. But yeah vfc fan boi for life 😂 Do plan any getting the ak maybe for Christmas 🎄

I have a VFC AK74M and its absolutely brilliant, kicks like a horse, its very sturdy and thats reassuring as i do use my guns alot and they take a beating. After market rigs / webbing is still possible, just need to know what will suit you, I have both modern lazer cut chest rigs where I have just Molle on AK Solo Mag Holders from Warrior Assault Systems and it works a treat, but I also have a genuine SSO EMR Smersh Rig which the AK mags are at home in.

Exactly, it doesn't paint a good idea for any buyer, new or experienced. It always appears sketchy and I've always stayed away from it, even if it's a good deal

Agree, irrespective of the friends situation, whoever is fronting the sale needs to take full responsibility for the items being sold,especially if it arrives faulty.

Can vouch for the Vietnam filmsims too. They run one in June and one in September and they're always a blast. I've missed the last few due to a few unfortunate reasons, but they've always been really solid every time I've attended.

What is it with people saying "selling for a friend" or "selling my mates..." I don't get it, why can't they post it themselves? It always looks sus in my opinion
