Something tells me that these sites that don't allow photography/film have something to hide. Like they don't want people filming their regulars cheating, or marshals not doing their jobs properly.. Whatever, they're losing out on free advertising. Their loss.

hi all! thank you for your answers! I've already found the good picture of badge in google. Of course Im not going to walk around in the form of a police officer, it is for airsoft only in a limited location. Here in Russia (south region) we have some rules about airsoft (not legal it's our own), for example do not wear insignia in public places and all weapons must be in bags. In this game we reconstruct Ulster Ireland conflict and my playrole is british policeman. here are some our photos for your pleasure ))

I highly doubt hes going to walk around the streets in russia dressed as a uk police officer ffs. Its an airsoft forum lads, ever think it may be for an airsoft loadout? it is illegal to impersonate a member of HM Forces yet we see plenty of players on site in the gear week in week out

The real steel G36C is polymer bodied to make it intentionally lighter, so it's a very cheap way of getting a "realistic" feeling weapon Forgot to mention about the ASG he linked to. A quick internet search reveals it's a rebrand of the JG G36C which apparently have quite fickle quality control with the gearbox and wiring. Not had one myself (so can't say if this accurate or not) but there are a large number of results if you look for common problems with the rifle on google. For that alone I'd really spend/save up the extra and get the SRC. If you want to try your luck with the JG/ASG, try checking sites for ex hire guns they may have for sale. I know landwarrior had a few decent ones available for a really low price a couple of months ago so it's worth looking into.

Search airsoft airbana into Google then click on the first link and go to skirmish maps. you can then see where all the airsoft sites are near to you.

250 quid for a backyard plinker? That's quite a lot to spend just for a back yard gun. I'm sure you could find a used two tone on some UK forum somewhere. if not, check out "zeroone" or "pro airsoft supplies" who sell g&g's

*picture proof that (former) KGB agents impersonate airsofters ?

I shoot like this, because "most of ya don't know what's goin' on around here, but I'm damn well sure some of you do!"

Then your RIF needs a mechanic.

no rifling? As far as I'm aware no airsoft rifles are actually rifled???

Pun intended? haha

Don;t you know gender is a social construct OP? You're just a tool of the misogynist fat shaming patriarchy I swear you're triggering my PTSD. How dare you. I bet you're a cis gendered white privileged male sitting writing about hating non binary people of color. I cannot begin to say how offensive this thread is. It;s simple existence is a call for war against the cis patriarchy. edgy tumblr pisstake huehuehuehue

Some of you know how passionate I am about the VCRA, so I was shocked to find these in one of their stores today: I've already prepared this news story for publication in the Daily Mail: Morrisons Super Black Market - by Victorya Ukipy The well known UK supermarket 'Morrisons' has introduced a new line: deadly firearms for children. For just £3 our reporter was able to purchase these two replica firearms. The guns are exact models of the powerful Glock 19mm that is used by police armed response teams and the MP5 assault rifle machine gun that was famously used by Osama bin Laden. Most shockingly of all our reporter was not even asked for a UKARA license to purchase these guns, which is a legal requirement in the UK. Outside he asked one of the Morrisons employees to explain how this was the case, however the employee failed to answer questions such as: 'don't you think there's a risk that kids might fill these with acid and shoot each other? Or that they might fill them with petrol and then fire them into the engines of cars that are only supposed to be filled with diesel?' The employee's comment was simply: "I don't know mate, I just get paid to push the trolleys." Well, as our investigation has shown, that's not all they're pushing. They're also pushing death on our kids. They may also have something to do with the rise in illegal immigration. Our investigation continues.

Hello fellas. Great forum..! Please can anyone advise me on purchasing a decent m4 airsoft rifle. Back in the 90's i purchased a UHC (Made in Taiwan) UA954 BB Pistol. Good looking pistol with a good weight..It cost £44. brand new form a shop in manchester. Being a bloke the first thing i did was load it up and shoot a bb into the palm of my hand to see how powerful it was..! It tickled a bit and left a slight red mark. I was'nt impressed. But the biggest thing that let me down was it did'nt have an auto firing mode..! Now years later i have decided to upgrade to some of the new tech available these days but i am lost and need some good advice guys please. I'm after a something like a G&G combat machine GR16 AEG type of rifle. I understand these are a good make and will last and are upgradable? I'm not UKARA reg. It's only for back yard use.. so i guess it will have to be painted in noddy colours. Blue and yellow..! I'm nearly 50 and that made me feel like a 7 year old asking for dynamite..! On a serious note, i do understand the regulations. Note: i have been on various web sites and to be honest they are useless as 99% of the guns i like are 'Out of stock'..? Being a tight yorkshire man i would rather buy a used item but no one is allowed to advertise Airsoft guns in the UK.! I have a budget of around £200-250.. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Cheers guys.

i guess i could go with that, sounds decent actually

Personally I am not a fan of the mesh masks and I have two issues with them. The first is that there is no standard to which they are tested for safety so you can't before you buy know what level of defence it provides. Secondly mesh masks have been tested by a lot of people and on getting hit they do get shards penetrating. Its all about your personal level of risk, if you are willing to risk loosing an eye or damaging an eye in order to avoid fog out then a mesh mask might very well be suitable, but I honestly don't know a good way to test if its any good oither than to buy 2 and fire at the first one with paper behind it and determine its failure point. So for me face masks are not really about looking good, its about keeping my teeth and my eyes and so I buy the kit that has been tested to the appropriate standards.

When I said import, what I meant was posting my own RIF from an overseas address to my address here. But if an offence is committed just by "bringing an RIF into Great Britain" then I guess I need the defence as well. On a separate note; Gosh, that smile looks... happy.

Just for future reference, ASG import in to Europe and rebrand. Who the original manufacturer is can vary and don't assume they're just from the cheap end. I know they re-brand the Lomex M4, plus many of their pistols are KWA. Also their MP9 is KWA. Mean while, do not be tempted to get a two-tone gun, they are false economy - instead use rentals till you get registered and buy your own gun - you'll also end up with a collection of amo this way too (as rental costs normally includes 3000 rounds).

"They clearly state that the three games must be played NOT UNDER two months and NOT OVER one year" This is the correct one. Thou, even thou you have to play at least one game/year after that, some sites will require you to play more frequently for them to update your UKARA. So I suppose they could say you have to play more months or more times before they send in the paperwork.. if they wanted to (highly unlikely). Never less thou.

No less than than three skirmish games at a registered site over no less than two months - you can't play three games in less than that and expect to get registered. You then get them to stamp/sign your UKARA form and then you send it to a registered retailer who process it for you. Some skirmish sites will send it on your behalf if you ask nice enough. You then get an email telling you when you're registered - just make sure to double check your junk email box (where mine appeared).

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed all four

Honestly I don't know )) maybe organizers have missed something.. some video from the last year's game

Your looking at almost £60 tax and fees on a $400 gun, and thats without postage Edit: Just added a $400 dollar gun to cart on evike, $98 shipping lol The total landed cost to get it into the uk would be £367 after customs and parcelforce get there mits on it

Hate them - really hate them. A couple used to appear at my local site until one split - in CQB it's just plain cheating as far as I'm concerned as it's hard cover with a key hole shooter behind it

cropzy - A Clockwork Orange? "I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm, in flap-jaw space, with the tuning fork, does a raw blink on Hiri-Kiri rock! I need scissors! 61!"

I agree. Why else would they say no to free advertisement?

What about when you can't see where your shots are going? Like when it's dark or the light isn't good for it, or whatever? Once you get to know your rifle snap shooting without using sights becomes quite easy, but if you want to be certain you're going to hit your mark, when it really comes down to it and it matters, sights are invaluable. I always use sights unless I'm caught unaware. If you find them pointless then either your gun is terrible, or you don't know how to sight them in/or set your hop correctly. A tip for sighting in that I always use, find a big open area and get your hop set flat. I find under hopping ever so slightly is actually better for range because the BB's drop off is more gradual instead of it just dropping out of the air when it runs out of spin. Set your sights on the point where your shots start to dip. For me it's around the 30/40m mark. Then you know that so long as you're within that range you shots will be climbing up to the reticle, so aim up as appropriate for super close range, but anything beyond that and you'll have to start aiming high. Once you get used to the set up it's a piece of piss to get along with.

yea its a risk. but being a very sweaty guy the chances of damage are far greater of me not being able to see, adjusting /trying to clean and actually getting shot in eye/doing something properly stupid like running into a wall/tripping etc. and glasses which may well have improved circulation offer no protection from certain angles so i could be screwed if lying down and getting shot from an angle, grenade firing bbs up under the mask etc... ill take mesh thank you...

Just lettin the dude know. Reminded me of the video someone put up here of the lad walking down the street with a rif in hiswaistband. People do the funniest things! But I guess Russia's far enough away

They will lose in the long run, It's when you see someone playing at a site and go "Huh, That's not too far from me, I'll try it out" They are basically forfeiting a form of advertisement.

yup it can be a bit tricky to get your face into it - depends on mask/goggles you use and the technique some like to really get up so close to sights others a few inches back and then others turn the gun on its side etc.... It is never as comfortable or easy with protective face gear on but at least with M4 you do have a number of stock options Then again maybe I just got a funny face hence I go for full face mask to stop people laughing at me on the field

It's airsoft. Don't use sights.

Your going to get spanked on import charges.

You've heard of the fedora-wearing World of Warcraft-playing neckbeard-type people on the internet, right? I have no idea about the 3.14 bit (Pi to 2 D.P???) but it's my understanding that they use the acronym 'qt' as shorthand for 'cutie' when blog posting. I have no idea on the TFW part, it's probably one of those 4chan, 9gag or imgur acronyms such as 'MFW' (My Face When) or 'MRW' (My Reaction When) Official Urban Dictionary definition of a neckbeard: (n) Derogatory term for slovenly nerdy people who have no sense of hygene or grooming. Often related to hobbies such as card gaming, video gaming, anime, et. al. If this party is full of f*cking neckbeards, I'm out. I've got better things to do than sit around with a bunch of unwashed nerds. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=neckbeard&defid=1558347

Probably shouldn't upload the picture of me juggling impact grenades then... I'm joking of course

I always use knee pads, yes you don't need them but you don't need mag pouches, pockets would do the job. It's nice to have the comfort of them.

My son who was 13 at the time recieved a bright orange l96 rifle complete with scope/bipod for xmas, it was just because he wanted to shoot targets in our back garden. Which turned out to be really fun, at the time I never heard of airsofting and I'm not sure he did, but after researching about his gun and a few others we found a site close to us and i took him for his bday. Both of us loved it, we did use his rifle i think for one game but realised it wasnt as fun as using the sites aeg's also it drew a few under the breath comments and snickers from the sites regulars so we left that in the car for the rest of the day. We were both buzzing after the day had finished. Needless to say 9 months later we attend that site once a month, i bought us decent weapons and army surplus kit to use, and I take a couple of his school mates with us, theres usually quite few kids on site some regulars and some that are just there for a bday or something. I do hear cod/bf3 mw2 mentioned a lot but thats just kids having fun. My point after all this is let the kids and there dads enjoy the day the way they want too, I'm forever helping some kid reload bb's or get dirt out of his muzzle or just generally pointing them in the right direction. This snobery I see onsight from the regulars/members towards some kids/ppl because they got cheap sh1t equipment and no clue how to use it annoys me, cast your minds back to when you first started and think how it was. I love it when i hear kids all buzzing about something they did or saw ingame, by the way that bright orange sniper rifle is now fully upgraded and shooting regular at 480-495fps with a matte olive colour paint job, it looks the part and shoots the part.

Best put it at the end of that list...

snobsofters

So what's your beef, that their parents can afford to buy them £2,000 PTWs? If so, dry your eyes and move on, there's always someone with more money/better car/fitter wife. Be happy with what you've got and plan for what you want to get, ignore those who have greater means, theirs or those they're borrowing from others.

Just keep an eye on the news, 'cos if anyone ever asks me if my L85 is a Battlerifle from Halo, the entire world is going to know about it...

They may be a pain in the arse, but at least it's getting people into airsofting....

I had a word with one of those lads a few weeks ago to demonstrate to him that his gun was not capable of firing anywhere near as far as he thought by comparing it to my AKS on the hyperball field. He didn't seem very impressed or pleased. I only did it because every person hanging back where their guns can't even provide covering fire is basically increasing the opposition by one. I had no idea why this obvious noob came across with the confidence usually only obtained through knowing wtf you're on about. Now I get it: he thought gaming had clued him up. Penis.

Hah, I once heard a story of a kid who would only accept he was 'dead' if he took 3 hits, because 'that's how it's like in call of duty'

A bunch of paintballers walked into the safe zone, I over hear afew of them talking about the guns that they could see, one of them says "Oh my god that's the ak47 from modern warfare 2" he then walks up to the guy with the AK and asks: "do you know what gun that is" the guy with the gun in question replies "Yes, it's an ICS AK74." "No, that's an ak47" I cringed, hard.

that they seem to think the range of airsoft guns is the same as in cod and wonder why when thye aim down the sights and fire at the other side of the site that the opponents dont take their hits....

we have one kid at my local site who didnt take his hits that often (he has been warned etc).... a marshall then found out he took his hits if you hit him on his legs .... no idea why, maybe he think he has body armour on , but everyone now aims for his legs.

I once saw a kid at my local site trying to reload a bright orange AK with the CoD 'AK Mag Flick'. He was doing pretty well, but this was the safe zone. Imagine what it was like while he was in a game and under pressure. Well, i can safely say he left the game day early with the remnants of his £60 plastic AK. This was in February; I've been to the same game day each month since and he hasn't made a single appearance. I also saw a hire gunner dolphin diving into a ditch filled with scummy water, despite the safety warning not to even attempt to cross without using a bridge.

How can you even start to talk like that to him? Seeing as you own black viper and an ls pistol, you can't downplay his choice of guns, especially calling the 'cheap crap'. If bulldogs are the best bb's you have used, then you're obviously not in any position to put down what other people use.
