There was a guy in the room playing the VIP (who was part of the organisation team) who saw the whole thing. He seemed entirely disinterested by it - in fact when I tried to bring him into the conversation, he remained resolute in his silence. I spoke to one of the proper marshals later, who agreed touching other pyro a no-no and was quick to point out he'd mentioned it in the brief but by this time I'd forgotten what the player who did it looked like. "I dunno mate, camo trousers with an M4..."

What did the marshals say when you told them about that?

Anything over 200mmm should be fine for accuracy. Without knowing what type the cylinder is now it's hard to say if it will be fine for a 210mm barrel.

OK, I know automotive custom paints will work (I've done some on proper rifles) but that depends on whether or not it's going to be airbrushed. The other thing to bear in mind is that your gun will most likely end up being at least a bit shiny if not VERY shiny (depending on the type of clear coat you use). You can get 1pack automotive lacquers in a rattle can that aren't shit (look for U-Pol https://u-pol.com/product/aerosols/power-can-aerosols/power-can-clearcoat/) but if you've not used them before, try on a test piece first. Paint wise I'd suggest Createx https://graphicair.co.uk/product-category/airbrush-paint/createx-paint/ It can be brush painted but depending on colours you may need to underpaint first (reds/yellows etc are not very good for coverage). Of course, you could do worse than get @GearTech involved! Or get friendly with someone that works in a spray booth and is happy to use materials supplied by you for clearcoating.

A TM MP7 with spare mag, replica 552 eotech and a nuprol nx600s weapon light. All except the eotech were from white sphere tactical as I was playing at Blackstone cqb yesterday. It might just be a case of new pew syndrome but its already becoming one of my favourite guns

I'm guessing this was part of the reason Blackstone was so quiet

Throwing a dummy is fair game but there are no circumstances during gameplay under which he should pick up IG/BFGs other than his own. "I saw it on YouTube" is a dickless attempt for the OpFor to rationalise himself.

I had a bit of a scorcher yesterday playing at RIFT's reopening of the Ridge (until it truly closes again). The booking page was open about there being no hot food available on the day so we were advised to bring our own food along - the cooking facilities were reserved for Redcon. Bottled water along with canned and hot drinks were available along with some snacks. The host also ran the White Sphere Tactical pop-up shop with a Specna Arms replica of an HK 416 being the prize for the Sunday raffle. The land owner had removed the portaloo so we had to make do with a single chemical camping toilet in a tipi tent. There were no feral players so nobody made a crime scene of the toilet and didn't clean up behind themselves. With the lack of rain recently, the ground was mostly dry with some clay dust being blown about by the wind. There were still a few spots where there was deep wet clay you could lose your boots in if they weren't laced up properly. A couple of rentals got a gentle reminder to limit their full auto shooting to a 2 second burst and there was one player who rightly got two bollockings and a final warning for taking off his eye pro in the gaming area. About 70 players were split into Blue and Red teams. The morning "Total War" session had Blue vs Red team dropping their opponent's flag and keeping theirs raised/raising theirs at the bases across the site. Blue was able to gain an advantage early both through strategy and an imbalance of players as several Red players returned to the safe zone early to hydrate so they could pin Red team to its starting and forward respawns within the first hour. In the interest of keeping the game alive, Blue team agreed to fall back to allow Red team to push again but Blue team was more organised and had a sizeable group of players who maintained a strong strategy and communications. Some players were switched in an effort to offer some balance ahead of the afternoon session, also forced by some players sitting out either entirely for the afternoon or for the final game as the heat took its toll on some of the players. The afternoon was two 50 minute games. First, Red team were attacking with the objective of recovering gold bricks from 3 locations and returning to their HQ (different area from their respawn) where after 25 minutes, Blue were allowed to attack Red's HQ and drop their flag. Red team could raise their flag again provided they weren't hit in the process but if they failed to do that by the end of the 50 minutes, their score would be nullified - the flag was kept up at as the whistle blew. For the second 50 minute game, the roles were reversed so Blue team attacked and outscored Red with the gold bricks collected and returned to HQ within the first half so Red team was forced to attack Blue team's HQ and drop and keep down the flag by the end of the game to nullify Blue team's collection. I didn't actually catch if Blue successfully defended their HQ or not but I'm under the impression they did and thus won the afternoon session. It was a very hot but good day of play without much (that I could see or hear) bickering between opposing sides. I fielded a Specna Arms SA-G12 EBB as my primary with a WE Hi-Capa 4.3 as my sidearm.

He must've realised all of us calling out his last sales posts means he won't sell anything so he's relisted them

I was recently astonished to learn that it can also be used in IT security - short for 'number used only once'...

I see, thanks for pointing it out! I have never heard of double spring and I thought that maybe I could change the gearbox to have more FPS.

Top idea, after all it works for real mags.
