  1. I'd be playing airsoft, but I live with ppl over 65 so it's not really possible. Very sad.

      Do you determine your ability to do other activities based on the age of the people you live with?  If you're providing 24/7 care or something, I get that but just wondering how you came to this conclusion.

      It sounds like hes making the decision not to play to minimise contact with others due to the vulnerable nature of what I am assuming are his folks.

       

      Right now bud we all have to do whatever is needed to keep ourselves and our family safe. I understand your frustrations but ultimately its for the best.

      Ah yeah.  I hadn't considered that.  Sometimes I completely forget about C-19.

  2. Batteries. I bought three to get back into the hobby, one had a manufacturing flaw and did not fit into the gun it's marketed for, and now the other is dead after ~10 rounds. My last is a different voltage.

      i use the ones firesupport sell, 'kong', some are 3yrs old and have had no issues......

      do they have a 'life expectancy'...?

      Can you return them as 'faulty'??

      ASG branded. @Jedi_Master my dad is a retired engineer, he's diagnosed the problem already. :)

       

      So far patrol base are responding positively. :)

  3. ASG battery designed for scopion evo arrived today. It went in tightly, on the way out the ejection port cover sheered into the battery and exposed it's insides. 

     

    Now I have to deal with patrolbase returns (previously a positive experience) as an unsuitable product. The last one I had needed electrical tape because it was too loose.

  4. Ordered on the 10th, shipped on the 12th, arrived in UK on 13th.

     

    Now 23rd and "Your parcel is being held in our delivery depot awaiting payment of customs charges. The addressee is being sent a letter outlining the charges and how to pay."

     

    Slow asses have had the parcel 10 days and I've still not had opportunity to pay.

      Remember as soon as it turns up at your local depot you can ring them and pay it over the phone. You do not need the letter - just the tracking number and a credit/debit card.

      Oh thanks for this, I tried calling them earlier and the automatic message said something contrary, I'll give it another go.

      What prof said , always track mine and pay over the dog and bone .

  5. Facebook page for my local airsoft site talking about UKARA Licences...

     

    Uh Oh.

  6. Anyone know where

    CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Rear QD Sling Mount

    is in stock in UK/europe?

  7. What's with all the thread titles written by 10 yr olds lately?

  8. How much would it be to AOR2 one of these?

      Hi. For that scheme on that piece £60.

    2. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      Thanks for that, I'll seriously consider it if I get one.

  9. I was just about to suggest perhaps you might create an additional default stream for the entire classifieds section?

      I just posted here because the thread was locked, thats all. I did not want to make an 'issue' of the idea while the forum is still in transition. Just was going to post it as an aside to that thread.

    3. Deva

      Deva

      It's not an issue! It's a good idea which could help people find content easier who might not otherwise realise how to set up a stream (or even know that they can). So if you were to set up a new feedback thread I'll action a result if we can get something on it. Even if it's just a discussion between a few people about what they think other people would find most useful.

      By your command. :)

      Oh goody. You could do it on 3.x.x but it wasn't an option in the ACP AFAIK. Maybe it's now more efficient like you say.

    3. Deva

      Deva

      You could, but then you had to tweak the MySQL default.. which doesn't sound like a great idea and causes much larger indexes. We're now a few versions newer on the whole stack and things have changed.

  11. Is there a way to change the grey font on white? So hard to read.

      Yep. Much nicer. Perhaps we should give it a few weeks then see what people think though, Sacarathe. I mean I do know there's the option to readily duplicate 'themes' and have them selectable by the user. Perhaps we could make up one that's slightly more contrasty for regular folks who just wanna read? Either way, this seems like a very nice middle ground that's akin to the old site.

       

      Every goddamn major IPB version they go and try to make it all look nice instead of creating an actual good environment for power users and new users alike. I'd probably have wanted to kill myself reading that faint grey on white for a month.

      Heh, I got there after only 2 hours. But I do have ASD and a major preference for sepia on sepia.

      The background colour looks a lot better now the sun has come out. :)

  12. CO2 Buffer tube regulators! Woot! (wolverine/polarstar)

      There hasn't been any talk about solving the expansion issues Mancraft had/have kinda solved now. Wonder what the consensus will be.

  13. Bullpup SCAR, Bullpup GHK G5 ahhh the choices!

    1. Brauster

      Brauster

      I prefer the G5 but thats my opinion

      Do you have a WE SCAR?

      It was my battery :(

      I know hypermonkey, seen him there once or twice now as I know the zombie hand... Are you the same guy who dressed up on the halloween game (he also had a KSG)

    3. Hypermonkey

      Hypermonkey

      Yep, that's me as well. So many alter-egos it's hard to keep count. The zombie piggyback costume was fun as my stride was limited to 1 1/2ft per step so stairs, escalators and moving in general was quite difficult, but fun.

    4. Sacarathe

      Well you know me too then. :) Aor2 guy

  15. Bought my first hi-cap.

      I like ankle support, so Roman style sandals would work better than flip-flops. Still suffer childhood trauma from when flip's Y strap snapped and I was only left wearing flop, a long walk home.

      That does sound like a very traumatic experience, roman style sandals it is!

      That so, well call me unhappy to make that mistake! :P Seems, non of the I5 have clear lens by default though?

    3. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      Now that is an issue, I chose my i4 because it came with a clear lens. Then purchased a spare tinted lens for outside. I suppose you could buy a clear lens at same time as getting i5 but that will increase overall spend.

    4. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      I4 lens is fully compatible with i5.

  16. Why does the only difference between the Dye I4 masks have to be colour and whether or not they've got a restricted use lens.

    1. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      Airsofters cannot cope with too much choice. One size fits all, so only need to choose the colour of mask and if you want clear or tinted lens. Simples. What I find amazing is the price difference between colours.

    2. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      Aye, the most unpopular choice is £70, the most dull (with clear lens) £85, the best imo £105, and the most expensive £125 - and all functionally identical.

    3. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      Car manufacturers do the same, basic paint colour for free and then extra charges for better/more interesting colour schemes.

  17. Anyone know what regulation is being referred to at the bottom of this page? http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-m4-m15-m16-variants/mk-ii-trident-spr-black.htm#.WBJ58MkbiVM

      This gun is designed to meet government regulations with an output limit under 1.1 Joules. Please use a 9.6v NiMh or 7.4 LiPo for optimal performance.

       

      Not sure TBH, im not up on the laws etc is this even a thing??

       

    2. Samwise

      Samwise

      It's probably just copy/pasted from the Krytac description, which is probably an American mis-interpretation of the UK law.

       

      To be fair, it's really not that clear to a lot of natives, let alone our brothers over the pond :P

       

      I suppose it could also be to meet the NI laws, though their limit is 1J not 1.1J

  18. TIL, My two broken TM G17 magazines only needed a tighening of the only screw to fix them both into working order, shame one is lacking a baseplace (and I'd already repalced them with 4x WE months ago), now I have 6 G17 mags.

      damn, thats a lot better than i thought! only ever bought outside the UK once and that was america and it was v expensive!

  20. CYMA 352 Trishot (£35) has no hopup - is that a reason to avoid it?

  21. Wish people would not conflate 'cost' and 'worth'.
