All Activity

Played the full day today at Worthing (because while this weather is warm, it's not Spain levels of warm so I'm fine in this heat!), partially because I couldn't bring more stuff as we were down a car. The guy who usually drives our group had family stuff this weekend, so we got a lift up to the site with someone else but they didn't stick around as they had things to do. This meant I packed super light for today as I didn't want to leave any of my expensive and/or rare guns just sitting around the safe zone. Brought my full civvie kit to see what I could get away with (black and white flannel isn't exactly woodland camo...) and my aliexpress repro D3CRM, with my mk12 MWS as a DMR and my 1911 for a sidearm. Fortunately, the mk12 was shooting really, really well, as was the 1911 so no dramas there. Set the hop, set the power, went through chrono. The only thing I left in the safe zone was a mostly empty rifle bag, as everything else was in my 25L backpack that I carried with me all day. It was... very muggy. It was overcast in the morning, but very warm and with how thick the foliage is it was like playing in a giant greenhouse, so it was a very sweaty day. I downed about 4L of water through the day and I still could've had more honestly. First two games were very small scale. Had to control the saloon, with each team spawning pretty close. We swapped ends after the first, so both teams got to see what it was like. It was a good warm up game as if you got hit you were back in the action very quickly, and I had my first taste of "oh I'm going to get away with a lot today huh..." when I sat in a fairly thin bush in my flannel shirt and nobody saw me. My mk12 isn't exactly quiet either, being a GBBR, but I managed to go both games without getting shot while slotting in some nice shots through gaps in the foliage. Second game was a big game that took us up to lunch. Each team had a bunch of bricks that we had to bring to one of the bases, but only one brick was released at a time, so we couldn't get our next brick until the current one was in place. Our team pushed up well and so I decided to take a rearguard position, as I knew with how the enemy team was spawning they'd be dipping to the bottom of the site to come up and shoot us in the side. And sure enough, not too much time passed before I caught a bush wookiee trying to sneak up that exact route. Spent most of this game relaying enemy movements to my team as they did objectives, with the occasional long shot or flank denial thrown in. Was a good game all in. I heard some players grumbling about hit taking, and someone did the angry "I'm going to full auto that guy in the back because he shot me and I'm butthurt over it" but that was dealt with very quickly by the marshalls. I also saw the marshalls actively enforcing hit taking as well; I had no issues myself too, so I think anyone with godmode was dealt with pretty fast too. Once the bricks were all in the base (which we got pretty quickly with our forward positions), we had to find gold bars and a 4 digit code. I have no idea how this went, because I think the gold bars were towards the bottom of the site which I'm not going to with my 30m MED because it's really thick down there. After lunch the two games we played involved the bricks again, but this time there was a box in a really open position in the middle of a checkpoint along a long path. Only one brick at a time like the morning game and we had to put the bricks in that box. Neither team was allowed to push past the box, so it became a giant meat-grinder around the objective box. In the first ones there were some pretty good pushes on both sides, though I did have to highlight to the marshalls that there were a few players who were sprinting up and only calling their hits once they put the brick in the box, even though they were getting lit up on the way in. However, when we switched sides... it was a slaughter. My friend and I both set up with our DMRs on a tall barricade with a clear vision down the path and were dropping shots on them at 80m (confirmed with my rangefinder). They... couldn't get anywhere near that box with the two of us picking them off as soon as they tried and it was games like that that make running a DMR feel really cool. After that we had timed attack and defend on one of the bases, where the game only ended when one of the attacking players gave the marshall in the upstairs of the base a fist bump. My friend and I set up on one flank, around that same path we just dominated but a bit further back and totally shut that area down. However, while we were there, two players got balanced onto the other team and made a mad dash into the base. I called it out as I saw them, but nobody listened and they then cleared out the entire base by themselves. Well played to them, honestly. Then it was our turn to attack and I managed to push up really far, getting into a spot that denied reinforcements one one flank in its entirety. Someone did get up close and saw where I was, but I managed to dissuade them with a few pistol shots (and the rest of my team pushing up on the other side adding pressure). As our team was playing far more aggressively, we ended up winning this one as well. Final game was a simple 3 base domination. By this point there were only about 10 players on each side, but I set up on that path again to deny it as a route of ingress. I managed to get a bunch of people trying to go that way, with a few moody shoulder shrugs after I hit them at range, but then they pushed down the middle and cleared a lot of us out, my friend included (who called it there as he was out of ammo and it was the last game anyway). I managed to stay low and I took out the pair of players with my 1911 who pushed up aggressively, before turning my attention to the base itself as I had a line of sight into one of the entrances. I saw the blue armbands (I was on yellow) and posted a few shots through some twigs which was very satisfying. However, the most satisfying thing was that the marshall had no idea I was even there. In my black and white flannel shirt. Shooting a GBBR. And he only realised because I shot my friend in the back to get him to move out of the way (he was in my line of sight to the entrance!) and then was like "wait, who shot you in the back?" and then my friend said I was over there and then the marshall saw me. Who needs a ghillie anyway? All in all it was a really great day, and I feel it went better than the last few. The games were really fun, with a good blend of silliness and seriousness for a skirmish day, and I had very few issues with hit taking all day. Everyone seemed pretty honest today, at least the people who entered my crosshair. No drama, just a good day of airsoft. Really needed that today and looking forward to next game day already. The maxx hop unit in the MWS is so good...

Cybergun / Cyma

More like Turnip's Tub.

I can definitely see this being something Steven Bartlett would invest in he loves his tech and can be another thing he can endorse with huel haha.

Cheers for the offer @BigAlbut I think I've Frankensteined it. The cm16 looks a bit odd but it's only for when the kids bring a mate along, so I'm not too worried. The m904g probably needs a new classification now though. 😂😂 Just a bit of rattle can and that'll look the nuts. Thanks for the guidance (again!). I'll get the hang of this tech malarkey eventually 😂😂😂 Now, where's my cigars.....😂

I'd get something running on CO2 then.

I used my AAP pretty much stock for aaaaaaaaaaages. Swapped the hop rubber for a Flamingo and put in a Hadron H plate and it shot great. Sears will hold up as long as you don't flick it to full auto and start spraying full auto everywhere. I eventually upgraded everything, but with a simple hop rubber and h-plate upgrade for like... £15, it shot really well for a long time. I know a guy with an SSP5. It's fine and will do the job, but my AAP shoots better

I'd use the term "retailer" very loosely with this guy, I'd say more of a tinkerer who thinks he's cornered the market with his homemade "product", which to be fair I think he has. If the market was "overpriced products that would definitely never sell on afuk", he's definitely killing it lol. Dragons Den ? 🤣

Yep I posted the wrong link, hitman's is the one

It looks like Cyma marking. https://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/products/two-tone-colt-m4a1-keymod-airsoft-rifle-short-blue/

They look like same markings that are on the golden eagle M4 series of riffles.

Trying to identify the manufacturer of this M4 anybody know what make it is Thanks in advance

The motor is what makes all the noise tbh, it seems a very efficient motor makes less noise. I may consider a NBB pistol as my garden is very small, only about 12 yards long, but AEGs are just more fun

Pretty clear based on the multitude of listings he's a pisstaking retailer selling his product, but by god does it look shit, and it's definitely overpriced AF. Arduino Nano's even at overpriced retailers are £13, the RFID reader is about £7, the screen is usually around £15. There are a multitude of free projects on this theme, even the custom PCB won't add up to enough to justify the near 200% markup for a "Prototype".
