  1. At a stage where I'm happy to share the progress on this. China Lake 40mm grenade launcher. It will be a 3+1 40mm pump action grenade launcher. Externals are pretty much done and just waiting on some parts to make progress on the internals. All 3D printed in a mixture of ABS, PLA and Wood filament. There are a couple of parts that I'm going to CNC in metal (looking at you pump arms) but the 3D printed ones will be good enough for testing.

  4. Just wanted to share my experience flying from Spain (Malaga) to the UK with internal airsoft parts in my carry-on luggage, in case it helps anyone considering the same. This could probably help in some other EU countries as well. Background: I only considered doing this because I had pre-purchased parts from Finland and Italy to arrive at my address in Spain. Nearly everything was RetroArms parts at significant discounts — hard to come by and expensive to replace. The only non-RetroArms item was the LCT AK magwell spacers. I was trying to avoid shipping them separately or risking them in checked baggage due to time and coordination issues. Previous Experience: On a past trip, I had tried to take an airsoft pistol magazine in carry-on. In hindsight I couldn't believe I even tried this, I should have known better. It was flagged immediately and security said I’d have to either check it in the hold (too late) or have it confiscated. I chose the latter. Lesson learned: magazines are a definite no in hand luggage. This Time: I packed the following internal-only parts in my carry-on: 2 gearboxes 2 motor cages 2 spring guides 1 cylinder 1 cylinder head LCT AK magwell spacers Nothing was externally gun-shaped or capable of functioning on its own. All were purely internal upgrade components. I also brought: Paperwork detailing what the items were, receipts and why I had them. In both Spanish and English. My best attempt at staying calm and cooperative despite being rushed (I woke up an hour before the flight and was rushing like hell to get to the airport, don't do that!) What Happened: After going through the scanner, my bag was immediately pulled aside. Security flagged the contents as “weapon-like in nature.” I explained and handed over the documentation. A police officer was called. Thankfully, he knew what airsoft was and confirmed the parts were internal-only and not part of a replica. He still went to check with his superior, since it was a fairly large quantity. The superior gave the green light, but warned me not to do it again, emphasizing that other officers could have refused it entirely. I ended up having to sprint through the airport and barely made my flight. It was a close call as I had 7 minutes to run from Security, through Passport control and to the gate at the furthest end of B Terminal! Key Point: Even if what you’re carrying is legal, that does not mean you have the right to bring it in carry-on. Airport security and airline staff have full discretion to confiscate or deny boarding over any item they find suspicious, even if it’s not prohibited by law. Final Thoughts: I got through this time because I had paperwork, remained polite, and the police officer was informed. But it could have easily gone the other way. TL;DR: Only tried this because I had pre-bought RetroArms parts at a discount, shipped to Spain from Finland and Italy. Packed all internal parts: no replica externals, no magazines. Bag was pulled aside, police were called, and I was let through after a warning. Legal doesn’t mean allowed — security can refuse anything. Wouldn’t try it again — too stressful and risky. If you do intend to try this. Please make sure you heed the above!

    Yeah, but if we think about it, impersonating a police officer and carrying an imitation firearm around in the open is nowhere near as bad as calling someone a stinky poopyhead on the internet. Ooooooh, there's some nice flashing blue lights outside my window. I wonder wha-...

  9. Somewhat productive day in the SkunkWorks. Started off by modifying a silencer/tracer unit, wasn't so fond of the grooves in it and decided to copy the Specter one, but with 12 smaller flutes. Before: After turning the OD down, it was put in the rotary table and flutes were cut with an 8mm ball-nosed end mill. Bit of lousy paint.. And now it looks so much better. Very happy with the result. Next up was a silencer that i bought for my MP5K-PDW. It's some specific type that i didn't realise at the time, but that didn't matter. I made an insert that'd screw on to the threaded outer barrel, but go over the 3-lug QD and sit closer to the front sight block. Turned from 38mm ally, bored to clear the 3 lugs, threaded inside, with an external male thread to fit a tracer and hex flats milled too. It's secured to the outer body with a grub screw. Finished + fitted:

  21. If you get butt hurt when people call you out for ripping others off then you should really give your head a wobble and have a condor moment to contemplate why you are getting called out. This forum is great as people who do know better help those who don’t. If you are here to make a quick buck of other people who enjoy the same hobby then stick that hpa 50 rpm beast up your arse and let rip.

  25. This is a project my team has been building since may 2024, you can follow it's progress on Instagram @K42Killhouse We originally visited the site as they offered a 100m range you can book in lanes and just plink and dial in your rifle ect which was perfect for our team to just have a shoot and a catch up When the owner approached me and asked what additions he could add to the site in terms of airsoft I jokingly said "Build a killhouse" and then he said "OK" Shit, now we have to build a killhouse 😂 So since june/July 2024 we have been designing and chatting and gathering materials and on our weekends free have been building this between the 5 of us with some help from others occasionally We ran out beta test yesterday which involved Metal Ops and Titan Group who really enjoyed the day I need to add, this is Not a typical airsoft skirmish site nor is it a CQB arena, you CANNOT book a walk on spot The killhouse is a hire only facility where your team can hire it out in 3 hour slots or an all day slot to practice running drills, clearing rooms and scenarios, we say it's best to book in 10/12 people and you plan what you do with your time but we found it best to hone in your skills with your own team then the next ttine you rock up to a site you easily flow through buildings communicating with your team We also aim to also put on events in the future for companies to put on training days The costs are £150 for 3 hours for a team up to 10/12 people (£15 each) £400 for an 8 hour all day slot for a team of up to 10/12 people (£40 each) Please check out the Instagram page for build media and recent photos The site will progress, I aim to fill it with random furniture, build a kitchen, beedroms ect lv_0_20250427154537.mp4

  29. 100% "At just 19 years old, this aspiring YouTuber has explored numerous airsoft sites across the country, immersing themselves in the thrill of the game and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. However, to truly share these experiences and elevate their channel, they are in need of essential recording equipment such as GoPros and scope cameras." Well get a fucking job then like the rest of us. Why should anyone else give him £500 towards his own hobby. Get fucked. At just 19 years old he's decided he doesn't want to work, he wants to solely persue his hobby and thinks everyone else should pay for it.

  34. So why would they say ex-army, and not ex-police? Just so we're all on the same page, none of this adds up and everyone thinks you're talking utter bollocks, in the follow-up thread that no-one asked for, after you got locked out of the first one. In the (unlikely) event any of it's true, don't do dumb shit like keeping RIFs in your car and rolling around with them day to day. That alone should be obvious. Someone who says they have 4 kids should be a little more sensible and responsible. 🙄

    Update on Stolen Kit

    Pleased you got your rifle back, but confused as to why the plod would make a ridiculous comment like that. I would reopen comms with somebody at a higher level, because you can guarantee that Mr "redacted" would do his best to backpedal & deny giving you that advice, especially if your snatchback went pear shaped in some way, which sounds likely if these criminals are adept enough to hack in to vehicles. The fact you have the conversation recorded is great, but may still not be enough to stop you getting a criminal record if you go ahead with your plans.

  44. so, i have been neglecting to post updates for the past few months, so i will blast them all in one post.... i bought a laylax thread adapter to fit on my KWA beretta M93r from firesupport. (thank you @strykerles for the link). only downside is the threads are 14mm clockwise, and tracers are 14mm counter clockwise threads, but i was able to make an acetech fit through brute force XD then i bought the Umarex walther PPK and 2 spare mags from landwarrior and a Crusader silencer form airsoftworld to go with it along with it. currently trying to figure out a way to mount a tracer in the silencer without the inner barrel poking through and preventing tracer working (and without taking a hacksaw to it so i can use it without tracer at a later date if i choose) had to buy a new gun at AI500 in Flambards after i took a tumble and managed to snap my KWA Skorpion in two... so i bought the KWA Mac11 with spare mags... and it was the only gun i had with me at the event that didnt malfunction constantly.=/ i also bought a G&G ESG10 from my local surplus shop (who also sells some airsoft gear) for use at AI500, expecting more close quarters battles than i actually encountered, so it didnt get a lot of use.. plus i found the mag release is way too sensitive. whenever i had it slung on my back as a backup, it would constantly drop the mag, so it was mostly left at respawn to be used as needed, but i ended up just running the mac 11 all weekend after getting home from AI500, i bought a new reciever for the Skorpion from BZtactical, and have swapped the internals from the broken Skorpion, but now it needs fettling as i cant get the trigger to reset, and the valve knocker is sticky, so it wont fire at the moment =/ a shame, as i loved the little Skorp... evil little beastie deciding i wanted to display my guns, and consign many of the boxes to the loft, i bought a bunch of hookwall panels, brackets and hooks, which my brother and i mounted on the wall in my living room over the bank holiday weekend. need to order some different sized hooks and get another wall mount brracket as somehow had one missed out of my order, but they have been helpful when i contacted them. all bought from unishop.co.uk finally, i bought a WE Apache A5 from onlyairsoft along with a claw mount and 6 spare mags. to complete it, i bough a cheap red dot scope from Amazon and then a collapsible stock from KYairsoft which arrived today. hoping to run this tomorrow for the first time no pics at the moment as i cannot crop them down to meet the forum file size limits, and fed up of hosting the images from discord, only for them to stop working after a couple of days...

  45. Super lightweight challenge-mode kit. No ghillie, no camo, very limited rifle ammo (4x 10rd mags for the rifle) Upside is it's incredibly lightweight and super breathable; that Austrian summer kit is so nice. Got spare ammo and gas in the backpack so I'm not going back to the safe zone too much, but being limited to 40 shots with the rifle before having to reload is great for honing the skill to pick your shots and be accurate.

    New to Airsoft Forums

    Well been into Airsoft since before UKRA was even a thing. Took a bit of a brake around 2015 and got back into Airsoft over 3 nearly 4 years ago. Quite a few good changes in RIF quality and choice 😁 spent the last few years working on loadouts and RIFs deciding what I like and don't like. Tried lots of different roles from Sniper, DMR, Gunner and Rifleman. Been working with HPA and AEG. I like both platforms. Sniper and DMR not really my thing. But Gunner and Rifleman are more my thing. Not much else to say other I try to get out for a game day at lest once a week.
