I'm looking for a woman named Sarah Connor....

Trying to single out the cringiest things in airsoft is a bit like pointing out the lemoniest part of a lemon. Still, the brief has been set so I’ll try… The Compensator. Desperately masculine, loud, edge-lord, every morale patch is practically peeling itself off it’s own Velcro to tell you, your mates, anyone near you, that this guy, this guy right here is not someone you want to mess with. Nevermind the fact that he’s playing with a toy gun, just because his boss talks down to him and his wife doesn’t respect him, YOU should know what you’re dealing with. Every sentence starts and ends with swearing and you’re gonna hear it, oh yes mate you will, no matter how far away from him you try to stand. Brought your young kids with for the day? Well this is a man’s game, it’s not his problem they hear grown up talk and he’ll just swear a bit louder to make sure they fuckin well do. Scene of crime officer. You cross his path, both bring guns to bear, your hits land milliseconds apart. It’s a trade, you can both be in and out of spawn in less than two minutes. Or so you think. Mr SOCO wants to stop you in your tracks, he hit you first he claims and before you can utter the first syllables of ‘yeah mate let’s just call it a trade’ he’s already describing to you moment by moment what just happened to prove, at length, that you are wrong. You walk away back to spawn. You think he’s still there, telling someone else who happened to stumble past him and who is now considering a BB to their own head just to get away. Clique-Ops. These guys showed up together, they’ve got squad patches and identical uniforms. You’ve not seen them speak to anyone else all day. You got lumped in with them to balance the numbers. ‘Alright?’ You offer as your opening gambit before the round starts. One of them glances shyly at you, the rest proceed to ‘mic check, mic check’ before continuing their conversation that excludes you. The klaxon goes, they make a beeline in the opposite direction to the objective whilst you resignedly set off to move a jerry can from one oil drum to another by yourself. You finish the round covered in BB welts and cuts. Your team has lost. You scored the only points. You see them back at the safe-zone celebrating how well they played.

I was comparing felt recoil on my VFCs this afternoon and took the opportunity for a family photo.

where to begin ....... people that sell second hand stuff that's broken or will break when the new person uses it , idiots that buy HPA because they have been told its the best , and they have no clue how to operate the equipment (been at chrono and the marshal asked the guy to turn down the regulator ..... he then asked the marshal '' how do i do that ?'' General shit talkers , with subjects that relate to RS firearms or gear they have watched on a YouTube video dickheads that use ghillie suits ... and don't follow the principles of camo and concealment, using heaviest ammo and only getting 50m shops that dont give the correct advice for new people , and just use them as a sale pallet sites player marshals any airsoft team that has the following words in there name , or associations to ancient history, Spartans, hoplite , immortals , guards , wolf , dog , dragon, phoenix , headless chicken squad names nicco any youtube video that is set up like a call of duty commentary with hit markers and killfeeds and music any event that uses ai images to advertise an event, that goes for shops too obnoxious geardos idiots that have go pros , on everything call signs for team members anyone that turns up in a german ss uniform un ironically or not at a ww2 event people that dont know the limitations of there equipment too friendly regulars .... people that think there regular site is there personal toy box and complain when they lose walts people that played about a years airsoft , equate that to them knowing everything , and telling you the best gear and upgrades to use

Picked up this E&C on the forums what feels like forever ago, took a while to get it where I wanted it both externally and internally but it’s finally there after finding the time to repaint it.

My first VT 🤙

Might do my own version of this except it’s just a 10 minute video of me in a storm drain bashing pots together and viscerally screaming “It’s not a license, stop saying it’s a license” Over and over again.

Hi all, been a few years since I made a post. Just thought I'd share my build of the HMLMG from the video game Rust. I think its one of the coolest looking craftable guns from the game, and since seeing it I've always wanted to have an working airsoft version of it. HMLMG stands for HandMade LMG, hence why I thought it would be possible to actually do this project with the limited tools & materials I had. One of the things I didn't want to do for this was to damage the base gun, so attaching this HMLMG "case" to the base gun was a bit of a challenge, but in the end everything is removeable and the base gun underneath can be extracted completely unharmed. The build: -Base gun is a G&G Firehawk (DSG version), chosen for high RoF but also the loud sound that the Firehawk makes. -Box mag from the G&G CM16 platform, perfect shape and positioning compared to the source material (but yes it also takes just regular M4 mags). -Aluminium sheets for main structure (easy to shape without needing machinery, still relatively durable). -M3 nuts & bolts to hold most parts together. -Bit of fence from garden for stock. I used aluminium sheets for the main "case" of the gun which just goes over the base gun, cut to shape and held in place using nuts & bolts. The main barrel is made of aluminium pipes except for the giant hex nut which is steel, and the buffer tube on the rear of the gun is attached by long bolts to a u-shaped aluminium piece. Its all mainly held on by the bolts on the buffer tube, and by a very long extended outer barrel which runs right to the end of the aluminium pipe, which is then held on by a 14mm CCW piece which is perfect for securing the whole thing to the base gun. Everything was made at home using a hacksaw, scissors, screwdrivers, & aluminium tape, except for the holes on the heat shield & the buffer tube/outer stock which were done at the local men's shed. To access the fire selector I had to make a lever, but it is removable so doesn't get in the way in skirmishes. The mag release is still accessible as the underside of the HMLMG casing isn't filled in and I can just reach my finger up there. The Firehawk's external bits were removed, including charging handle, and the dust cover stays open, so hop-up is accessible by opening the top cover. The weight (without BBs in mag) is 3.3kg, roughly the size of an M249. I mostly tried to keep as accurate to the HMLMG in Rust as I could, but I had to compromise on the front grip as it seems too tedious to attach. The charge handle being a brass knob for a drawer also seems out of place as I want to leave the gun as full black for now at least. Modifications: -Due to the extreme upgrade in outer barrel length, I had to replace the inner barrel using a spare sniper barrel from a M40A3, which then caused the hop-up to need changing to a Mapleleaf 70. On the first skirmish I couldn't find the hop-up sweet spot, so replaced the unit with a rotary hop unit from Retro Arms. -The magazine was rewired to a button that sits on the heat shield as the original feed method was non-ideal. Performance: The gun is largely stock as it was brand new and I mainly did this just for the "look", and the DSG Firehawk's base performance is great from the first few weeks of using it. I'm running it on a 7.4v LiPo, it does around 1.07 joules (340 FPS on 0.2) at 29 RPS, so far found it to have good range and accuracy using 0.28g BBs. Magazine also feeds with 0 issues. Since the gun absolutely vomits BBs I'm changing to 0.25s in the next game just to lower the costs slightly... In the future I may upgrade its performance maybe for 11.1v batteries, but for now I don't see any need. Definitely a bit of a crude construction, but hey it looks the part, is sturdy, and most importantly it shoots like a beast.

These were out yesterday Banging in the woods 😁 The FAL is actually my mates. First time out for the OSW, it performed flawlessly, and great to be able to know that the huge gas capacity meant no need to gas up between games.

"Please bare in mind somethings on the photo will not be included and will list below and is purely just for the imagery" This shit is genuinely becoming my number one pet peeve. You see something, the price isn't awful, it has a bunch of really cool accessories that are in every single picture and then you scroll down to read the description and it says "items not included" Are people really so lazy they can't take five seconds to remove the things they want to keep before photographing an item? I mean, they'll be coming off anyway if/when it sells... Bizarre

Marshals that try their hardest to be funny during briefings, meanwhile said briefing has gone on for 10+ minutes and everybody in the safe zone has already zoned out and stopped listening

Lambda MK48. Weathered best I could back to the grey underneath, as per the real thing. Not sure I'm a fan of the suppressor.... But hey ho.

Latest purchase is a VFC M723 with the bits to make it a Delta ("Gordy") carbine. Need to decide whether to rattle can it or not (I'm tipping towards a paint job).

My only cringe is players who take our hobby too seriously, I get the excitment of playing to win but it's airsoft not life or death. I like to see groups all kitted up in a milsim kind of way whether it's WWII Wehrmacht, GI Joe's, British army etc, etc, etc... but it's the players who try herding cats & lose their shit when it doesn't work that make me cringe most.

Just seen that in the classified. Came straight here.... didn't disappoint... haha. £800?.... I think he's looking for his next fix of what ever the hell he's been sniffing.... Then trying to justify it's a classic. Well I've still got my original TM XM177 springer...... To you, a mere $1m dollars. It has a sleek design. That old classic TM creak, that gets all the old players sweaty with dread. Was that creak or crack, my back or the gun. It's features more plastic than cher. It even features a drop down handle, which has you biting your lip, not in excitement. But in stiffness and the thought of breaking it if pulling too hard....

My first MWS, lovely bit of kit. Its a TM CQBR Block1

Do people just run into buildings, cock and balls first or something? I've been hit in that region and the clothing takes 99% of the impact

Asking £55 when it’s £45 brand new (Although some places have it listed at £55, either way, LMAO)

Here's my M4 (Specna Edge), my brother's M16 (Specna Core I think) and my XM177 (E&C). The M4 has a Perun hybrid, 14:1 gears, solid bushings and compression set from Mr Ak2m4, motor is a bit of a mutt I built by putting the armature from a high torque motor into the case of a high torque, high speed one from AliExpress. Barrel is the original brass Specna 6.03 and uses a Macaron 60 hop rubber, omega nub. It shoots like a laser (in Airsoft terms) and has decent range. ROF is about 23rps on 2s I think? The M16 is bone stock and this also shoots fantastically, with decent range too- my brother is going to leave that as is. He has great fun blasting people with the 203 too, usually accompanied by giggling... The XM is my favourite to look at, the trades are fantastic and I love the old school integrated carry handle over the M4's detachable one. It has an upgraded compression set and nozzle, again from ak2m4, and a 6.02 stainless barrel. Hop is the same as the M4. It's running 16:1 gears and I have a Perun hybrid on the way for it. The problem I have with the XM is that it does not shoot as accurately as the M4, I get the odd curler which goes off to the side now and then. I may remove the barrel and try to polish it a bit to see if that helps at all...

Teams who assign themselves ranks & roles based on real steel....... Get over yer selves ya walts 🤦‍♂️

Not directly bought, but £10 worth of raffle tickets secured this. The plan is to throw them all at the Lad next time we play together.

There are many topics discussing UKARA registration but to avoid this getting lost it one of those topics I'll add this here... I just thought this was a well made video explaining airsoft 'rules'.

My loadouts (if I wore them all), but is really part of my collection. I tend to use the MTP webbing & DPM chest rig but have used the Osprey mk4 and the DPM PLCE but the rest is kit I can wear, but haven't yet (it's all adjusted to fit my fat arse). The Osprey mk4 has different panels set up for P90, 5.56, 7.62 & 9mm mags. The full Osprey mk4 is really just for display & has TOO MANY attachments. Will buy an Osprey mk4 belt at some point which will even up the mag distribution. The Bundeswehr field gear is currently set up for G3 mags but I have pouches for G36 mags too. The DDPM vest has G36 pouches. The UCP FLC fits well but the carry handle digs into the middle of my neck so uncomfy to wear(could remove it but want to keep it stock). The UCP TAP is ok but very front heavy. The Pattern 58 is the first set I got because it was my webbing from my time in the TA & responsible for my collections. I also collect the Bergens & field packs to go with most of these sets, & some helmets.

Just got home from this season's 'Namsoft at Gunman Eversley Alpha and... it's a strange one. I didn't really enjoy it all that much if I'm going to be completely honest, but have I got any complaints? Not a single one. And would I recommend them? Absolutely! Josh puts some amazing games together and this one was no exception. Didn't see @Tactical Pith Helmet this time though... The good points were... most aspects. The weekend was really well run and Josh's enthusiasm is infectious. The scenario was great overall, with the opening scenario being incredibly chaotic as the Australian forces and US special forces had to locate and rescue all the US platoons that were stuck out there alone and with no radio. VC and PAVN had to find these platoons and destroy them and we were met with... actually more success than I thought. We got utterly hammered, as with our low numbers it was incredibly difficult to win any firefights, as we'd get in a gunfight with one platoon, and while we were fighting them another group, either Aussies or the US special forces, would come in behind us and wipe us out. I also got full auto'd by one of the LMGs in one of the US special forces groups. In the face. From less than 10m away. So that wasn't fun, but remember this US special forces group because they'll come up later. Speaking of later, after I went back to respawn, we headed out from our respawn, which was just over the road from their respawn, though the path between was to be treated as a solid wall, with it being completely out of play and neither team could engage over the path and had to go wide around the site to get to the objectives. The US special forces saw us leave our respawn and then just... decided to not go wide, walking up right behind us and shooting us in the back, half of their group engaging from the path that was out of play. I managed to shoot two of them with my 1911, but neither took the hits. However, we actually managed to steal one platoon's radio equipment during this part of the scenario scoring us a point, and kept the US forces occupied enough to where they never managed to rescue one of their platoons, soring us another point. After this we split off in our groups. The PAVN group brought a bunch of mines and tripwires, so they were tasked with sneaking to the other side of the site and just setting up loads of traps, then goading the US forces into attacking them through their traps; they were incredibly successful in doing this and kept a stupid amount of the US forces occupied, who were all too keen on trying to squash them. Meanwhile, while the US forces were trying their hardest to kill off the PAVN, there were two VC groups going around the rest of the site and performing objectives. We had to set up ambushes that the US had to clear through, however with them so pre-occupied with the PAVN, we were able to just... farm up points. The ambush group I was in didn't even get any contact, and if the ambush wasn't cleared in 30 mins, we got a point (or the US lost a point, I'm not sure but it was a net +1 for us either way). The ambushes were signified by these bluetooth speakers playing jungle sounds, so we'd deploy the bluetooth speaker on max volume, then the US needed to deactivate it to clear the ambush. All through the day, however, there were so many complaints about the US special forces group I mentioned earlier. There were two special forces groups in play, one special forces group was full of great players who played the game phenomenally well, while the other group put the speshul in speshul forces. It's a shame, because all of the other US and Aussie teams were fantastic players and there were no complaints about anyone else on either the NATO or NVA teams, but this one special forces group were consistently shrugging off hits, spraying full auto up close, ignoring the 1 second burst rule for their full auto and ignoring objectives in favour of racking up a body count to the point where they actually tried to spawn camp us at one point. Josh spent a lot of the Saturday coordinating with his marshalls to try and deal with all this, and I don't envy the job he had to do. From what I gathered, they were a new group who hadn't played any Vietnam games at Gunman before; at least a bunch of us regulars didn't recognise them. Anyway, we spent most of Saturday doing this, sending groups out to set up ambushes and farming points if (well... when) they weren't cleared. I can't comment on Sunday as I didn't play, as I wasn't too motivated to play, and my friend wasn't able to play at all since he played more on the Saturday than he should've because he was enjoying it so much and was paying the pain tax on the Sunday. However, the scores at the end of Saturday were NVA had +3 on the morale-o-meter, and the NATO forces had -7 on the morale-o-meter, so a *very* successful Saturday, despite feeling like we got kicked around the site all day. So, why didn't I enjoy myself personally? My friend really enjoyed it, and everyone else seemed to really enjoy the games, but why didn't I? It was just an unfortunate combination of things that all fed into each other, honestly. I can deal with a group of shitty players, as I've played airsoft long enough to know how to deal with them, so it wasn't that. One of our group dropped out at the last minute, leaving just two of us, but the other guy is significantly older and can't play as much or as hard as me and the guy who dropped out. Also, there have been new rules added to the Vietnam filmsim ruleset at Gunman since I last played... around 2 years ago (heart issues caused me to miss a bunch, though I was still there for the social I just couldn't play). The rule in question was the "no one goes to war alone" rule, which is basically there to stop people coming down and treating it like a skirmish game as people should be moving around in squads. However, this combination meant I was unable to go out and do my sniper thing, since I didn't have my spotter (or shooter if he wants to use his bolt action, then I spot for him) as you need to leave in at least a two-man team, and can only perform objectives with at least four people, but also that I had to group up with other squads as I couldn't go out alone and hunt the GIs solo. The guys who play VC and PAVN forces are phenomenal guys and I love playing alongside them, but especially since we were outnumbered around 2.5 to 1 it meant that all of our regular squads were very focused on doing objectives. The issue is a lot of these objectives were in parts of the site where a 30m MED just meant that my rifle was useless and so I went around with a pistol all day Saturday. I spoke to Josh about it on the Sunday morning, and since he knows that I'm not some weird speedsofter and actually play the sniper role properly (as it's what I always did at Vietnam games), he's happy to make some accommodation if it happens in future, but it needs to be part of the scenario so that the Americans know it's not just someone flagrantly disregarding the rules. I will 100% be going again, whether to the one in April(ish?) or Josh's next one next June. If I get the feeling I can't snipe, or simply if the sniper ban is in effect, I will just use my m16 (or m14 if I have it done by then) from the start. Hopefully we'll be back to a group of 3 or even 4 though, which will make it a lot easier for us to operate as snipers and support the other squads with intel and overwatch, rather than going into the thick bushes with nothing but a pistol again

Today's new toys, did a trade for a few of my air rifles with a gentleman from g trader. Absolutely over the moon, my son is ecstatic. All works as he described, and he threw in so many extras. We have hammered thru BBS since we got back. And It only cost me 20 quid of diesel and we made a new friend. Today is a great day. And I won't be letting him use the mesh goggles, they came in the bundle but I know they are not safe enough. 😆

Sounds like a brute force & ignorance breakage.

Well guys, it's been a while. So, some of you may remember that I have been working on something for the past 5 years: First one version Second version Third version Fourth version And now, I have finally completed it, the MOSQUITO MK1. If you didn't know already, the MOSQUITO is a 3D printed airsoft design, purposefully made to compete against other rifles in terms of looks, size, weight, and customisability. If you break a part, oh well! Just print another one! It uses a traditional V3 AEG gearbox and the usual AEG hop and barrel. However, you won't need a hop chamber. That's right, the hop chamber is 3D printed and proven to be very reliable on the field. Saves you from buying a new one. It has been designed to be as easy to print and source parts for as possible, using standard metric components. This final MK1 release vastly improves on the previous version in almost every way possible: New handguard design New mock bolt design New folding iron sights Refined grip design Refined folding stock Hope you guys enjoy it. I can finally move on 🙃. It's been five years since the original. Get it here! https://www.printables.com/model/1403014-mosquito-mk1-airsoft-kit And apologies in advance, the documentation is insane at 114 pages, and it isn't even done because I had to rush this release a bit. Hope you guys still have a shred of attention span that has been whittled away from brainrot of all sorts, BECAUSE I SURE HAVENT HAHAHAHA

Speaking of M723’s…. dNA M723 Need to learn the art of taping things.

I’ve intentionally bought two items from SixMM. I wonder if I’ll get two scented candles instead of what I ordered? Maybe it’ll never be delivered? Who knows?

There's only one BB as far as I'm concerned...

You're all wrong, in airsoft it stands for Bolshy B#stard, its what we all become when we're convinced that some cheating canute isn't taking their hits from our sooper dooper gnu that has laser like accuracy up to 300m 😉

People need to bare in mind that any damage in shipping is the seller's responsibility. If they're not going to be helpful then hit them where it hurts and get a refund via however you paid. This is why you don't pay via bank transfer or PayPal f&f and quite frankly anyone who does still use these is asking for trouble

CP: not even once. My weird son had a really good game day yesterday. Handy enough skirmish with, but the range and accuracy of a BASR.

First ones back order, second two aren’t in the UK. Perhaps the 2 minutes spent should have been used to read my post instead 😂

Not bought but swag haul from DSEI the other week. Most of my guns don't have QDs but I'll give the Spiritus Reverso a try at some point.

Should really be one of the selling rules Images must show what the buyer is paying for only

This I won't even blank his name out

I find people who criticize others for blanking their faces in pictures cringe. Having spent a long time in in house recruitment for some pretty massive and well known companies, you'd be amazed at the things I've seen used for not hiring someone, so a picture of them holding a "gun" isn't something id want to be tracked back to me. I like the pics etc, I just don't want them tracking back to me. Likewise sometimes it's a great picture and I'm just pulling a derp face that ruins it. I mean, how ridiculous would it be to have my career derailed and earnings reduced just so that my face can be in pictures from when I'm playing toy soldiers. Also, people who are so "not competitive" that they actively do things to be not competitive, like bright gun/gear or talking down people who do put effort in, especially when they aren't effective players themselves. I'm there to have fun and my version of fun isn't being a moving target,

Do you think he'll come back in a few years complaining too many people responded to his post? 🤔

EOtechs and MP5s are filthy.

A nice chap by the name of @Aiden Chen has taken my money in exchange for some pretty things... 🙄😂 This time in the form of some nice SOTAC Zenitco goodies which are honestly really nice replicas! Sotac Klesch and Perst in Tan and not pictured a black Klesch which I have no need for... Yet Definitely makes the LCT RPK-74 look more fancy... Thinking I need a tan Putnik or something for the front end now 🤔

I mean Pornhub does keep listing her as an 'amateur' despite the fact that she's had more pricks than a second hand dartboard..... or the ahem "combined mileage" being more than some of the space shuttles have covered. On a related note..... £40 postage, that shit wants to be coming next day delivery in a silk lined ebony case for that kinda cost.

APFG Spear LT

Repro KAC marked grip & rail covers cause there was no way I was paying £20 a cover for real ones! Gotta love China!!! ”Kingth’s Amaemrtn” 😂😂😂😂

All ready for this weekend; ready to ambush some GIs with their own gear! Been going down the LBE rabbit hole, watching god knows how many youtube videos and reading a bunch of real steel shooting articles to make sure my setup is as good as it can be and has everything I need. 8 rifle mags (stubby m16 mags or kar98k mags), 4 spare pistol mags, 1911, knife, and a WW2 camo scarf and a bunch of scrim netting in the butt pack for sneaky sniper shenanigans, plus two canteens for water for sustainment. It's also pretty well balanced, with the right side only being slightly heavier than the left because my Bell 1911 is heavier than the rubber knife, though if I use one of my TM 1911s the weight difference is negligible (but I'll be using the Bell 1911 because it's incredibly fun to shoot) I also only just learned that I need to wear my LBE a little bit higher than my waist-line, so... yeah. Learning!

We just covered this, they black clearly has stability properties. Blue adds value And the red tape makes the bbs faster....

I am a newer member here but I have bought a few RIFs and had no real issues. The biggest gripe for me are the listing's that don't have "collection only" clearly stated on the post. Or they have "looking for a quick sale" but never reply to messages 🙄

I think this is worth mentioning when it comes up; what @Anonymoose said I would very much echo. I can recall seeing a laser used once ever at a game, which was at a woodland site and it just perfectly highlighted where the person trying to shoot me was crouching. They can potentially have some utility in IR form if you have proper night vision to see it and play a game where that combo is allowed/relevant, but we're getting in to small niches at that point. Obviously if someone wants to deck out their shooter with a PEQ or whatever for looks then go for it, they are important devices for the real firearms we're replicating, but airsoft utility is slim to none. A simple white light that's got an ergonomic momentary activation switch can be useful very often (again depending where you play) and apart from anything is great for.. you know just seeing where the heck you're walking and not tripping over and breaking yourself. I'd wager the most common airsoft injuries beyond little bb welts are probably the results of trips, slips, falls, collisions etc.
