  1. Could be worth considering the GATE Aster as an alternative to the Titan? It's still an optical mosfet like the titan, just stripped down in funcitonality. It can be programmed to different sensitivities and firing modes, but on it's default setting it's quite nice and smooth. My Specna H20 has one in, and while there were initially teething problems with them, the units leaving now are are great by all accounts.
  2. The CM.041 MP5s are all metal (apart from the plastic bits obviously). Reputedly very well made and solid. Been after one for a while now, but all UK shops are pretty much out of stock now because of brexit... Yaaaay.
  3. You're looking for the gun that's just hit UK shops at approximately £415 for only £200? You'll be waiting a while I think, Friend...
  4. I absolutely adore the 01P. Truly is the nicest looking airsoft Beretta. The only thing stopping me getting one is no lanyard loop. Because I'd want to skirmish it, but always lasso my sidearms 😁
  5. @rocketdogbert? Have you come across this on your billions of Glock rebuilds? 😁
  6. I got banned from UKAC for making a joke about a guys Nazi SS loadout. Apparently saying it was: "The final solution to hit taking" was enough for an instant ban lol
  7. Hey you guys.. if you could vote for The UKARA Police in the Popular Airsoft awards my.. err.. "friend" will appreciate it 😁

      I could feel myself getting triggered there was no trans/non-binary player award - oh well maybe next year I might get nominated :D

      @Sitting Duck I identify as a fat knackered Welshman , where’s my p**sing players award ! 🤬🤬🤬

  8. That's cheating, you can't say that. Will Greenwood will accept a friend request from anyone! It was quite nice to see lots of folks on Facebook groups recommend this place as a safe haven / alternative.
  9. Well, yeah, I suppose 😅 Just curious why the subterfuge was necessary, I guess.
  10. When you realise OP is a Content Marketer for an Advertising/SEO/Marketing Agency that has Surplus Store on it's books as a client: @Airsoft_Allie - what's your intentions here?
  11. Some of you may have seen that Zed Adventures have had to cancel all upcoming events for the time being. Even though they are following Health and Safety Guidelines to the letter, because they can't guarantee that people aren't bumping into/brushing past each other in the game area, or aren't mixing outside of their immediate group has seen them closed while they work out a fix. It's a shame and hopefully they get some help from the government and/or Kennet shopping centre to allow them to come out the other side of all this.
  12. Another new patch to add to my UKARA Police loadouts 😂
  13. 😬 I made this image about two years ago... Didn't realise they actually did shit like that 😅
  14. Show of hands please: Has anyone been messaged about an SL8 DMR Swap?

  15. I've decided I've got too many guns, and too much debt. So this one is being put on the pile to go at some point. And also because it's a misbehaving fucking twunt. It's my Specna Arms H20. Which is the CQB length 416 (Edge 2.0 variety). Which means it has a Gate Aster installed as standard, hi-torque motor and coated recievers and rails. Original box etc. I've changed the stock for a CTR style thing. A stick battery fits in the buffer tube no problems. I've also colour filled the Specna trades on the receiver. Flash hider replaced by a fat stumpy silencer. Now.. this gun has some issues. It's only been used in one game scenario at Red Alert Newbury, because quite frankly it misbehaves too much for me to give it any real use. The outer Barrel has an upward/downward movement. Not really noticeable until you grab the barrel and thonk it up and down. The rail has a slight up/down wobble, but has no more adjustment on the Hex bolt to tighten it. The dust cover got bent beyond fixing the first time I took the upper receiver off. The One series (E&C) dust covers do not fit and you can't buy Edge Series spares yet. So it's missing. The little nub on the ejection port that keeps it closed has snapped not once, but twice. So it doesn't close. Even if it did close you wouldn't want it to because the charging handle doesn't open it! The Gate aster has had its firmware updated and it's been calibrated but will sometimes only fire, say, 4 out of 5 times of pulling the trigger. The trigger guard rattles. Having said all that, it is usable and could be used as is if you can forgive the odd knock from the front end. The gearbox sounds good and gives a nice quiet "Zip" when Firing. And it has a ZCI Rotary hop and Maple Leaf 50° rubber. They sell for about £200 new - thinking £130? Should be a good gun once it's had its issues ironed out. I just can't be arsed lol.
  16. THE BOTS ARE REGISTERING FASTER THAN I CAN BAN THEM! WE'RE ALL DOOOOOMED!

      @BeggarsBeleifUsing the same email domain and same region, so pretty easy in the end.

       

      Already implemented the policy of lower message allowances for new accounts as of last night. Post to come today about this.

      I don’t know why I find it slightly funny to be messaged by bots asking for sex 😂

      Not even a bot wants to have sex with me. I feel sad

  18. Is that because you won one earlier on airsoft competitions? 😅 I had a go one my friends one a little while back. Love the feel of it and firing it was great fun. It actually has a nicely weighted trigger pull and didn't feel like an on/off switch. Recoil is nice and a touch more solid a kick than the TM Recoils. Not quite as good as a GBBR or Tippmann. Great, but I wouldn't buy one unless they were half the price. And that would only be lottery win purchase territory.
  19. Where have you posted them, 'Shark? I'll see if I can edit them from the mod menu.
  20. While this thread isn't perhaps the best choice to make, @Hovis452 hasn't broken any rules in doing so. It's in off-topic discussion, so it can stay. I must say though, you guys are being a lot nicer to the OP than I imagined you would.... 😅
  21. This is too true unfortunately! Quite often I'll see something really flash and right up my street: *Click advert* "FUCKING MEDIUM!? NO ONE IS MEDIUM! COME OFF IT!"
  22. Probably not! (I'd have bought it if it were XL!) Unfortunately, a lot of people are put off by the Viper brand name - their old stuff was admittedly quite bad. But they're great nowadays. Their old reputation ruins their current sales. I've got THREE of their new VX Buckle up plater carriers now!
  23. Semi only, yeah. It's a pistol paradise, I play with a TM USP with four mags and get on brilliantly. .32g is the maximum allowed. And no bangs at the moment.
  24. Had a crack at painting, dirtying and distressing a gun. Not quite up to @GearTech standards (he shall remain the master 😅), but I'm happy with it! Sprayed in Halfords Khaki: Then abused with dark brown washes and attacked with various things: (Need to dust off the paint chippings/sanding)
  25. FRV shooters belt in their 30% off cyber Monday sale. Split over three payments with PayPal too, so £17.something per month.
