OK so I know they sell crap guns to stupid people but really - do we need to endlessly fill the forum with crap like this? Doesn't it just seem a bit childish or is it just me?

Best way to get a feel for airsoft guns is to go and play a skirmish and hire one for the day

I know its hard with the younger generation and i know its probably just me as i was an instructor for the air cadets for many years but next time you see or hear something a bit "beyond belief" try and give them some of your time and help educate them to help increase the game play from them...if you can do it right the respect they feel for you ant other will increase and help them to realise the reality of computer games to reality to airsoft . We all deserve a chance to be helped at some point.

Bitch please! My woman does as she's told! Ain't no woman gonna tell me what to do with my money! ... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NEVER TELL HER I SAID THAT OR SHE'LL BEAT ME AGAIN. ... Seriously though, as long as I keep most of my junk in my man-cave I can do whatever I want...

Spot on Lozart, it was funny (like months ago) but every day it seems theirs another 3 threads just like it.

Not new, that's for sure. That rail's been floating (hoho) around for years. Lots of american civvies get entire guns done that colour.

Finished my Sopmod today. Block II ftw!

That parody is brilliant, absolutely nailed it and the fact he's so young makes it even funnier.

BACK FROM THE DEAD. POW. Over the last months at work, I've had a customer who refuses to pay his bill (I work at a storage center). Increasingly, he's been a nob to me, despite my best efforts to help him out of the deep hole he's got himself into. Today, he finally decided to try and pay his bill (although not the late charges and admin fees he owes, and even then, only half his bill anyway) whilst giving me some more abuse. I got to enjoy the look of despair on his face when I told him half his stuff had been sold for approximately £2000 and the rest had been crushed and then incinerated. I also got to enjoy him flipping out on the phone to his lawyer, because the stuff was worth over £35,000 to him and his company and his bill was only £2700. After that, I got to enjoy his lawyer telling him it was all his fault and that we had every right to go to debt collection for the remaining £700. The lesson? If you entrust someone with £35,000 worth of gear, and owe them £2700 for looking after it. Don't piss them off 'cause they have all the cards. Usually, I wouldn't bask in the joyous aura created by the misery of others, but this man deserves it and it goes some way to making up for the fact that my job is sh*t.

Mine couldn't care less... I mainly get called a big child. Then she moans at me for finding bb's everywhere. And then she wants to pop smoke in the garden to see what it did... Then she goes back to calling me a big child...

Oh....NOW you tell me!

spraycans and masking tape, match your camo... hardest part is deciding where to mask...

Exactly as the others have already said. Too many people turn up to their first airsoft game with a crappy gun from some 'bb guns' website (by the way don't buy from them) and find that their guns will not hit anybody and don't have a good time because of it. If you just want to do target shooting at home then a spring gun is fine. By the way, if you ever get into airsofting and skirmishes, and you would like your first gun, this is one a lot of people recommend: http://www.proairsoftsupplies.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=trans&PN=cm16_carbine_transparent%2ehtml#SID=239 Don't want to sound like I'm getting a bit far ahead (can't think of how to say it tbh :/ ) but just giving a suggestion. Welcome to the forums as well.

well tan doesn't look that bad but black looks better and for your first airsoft gun and battery i really wouldn't go for a lipo because if you aren't careful you can break them very easily overcharge them and when you use them they can blow up if you aren't careful honestly just get a nimh battery of zero one those things are much safer!

OK, before I make a comment. Rename the title to "The Team Flex Help Thread" then you won't have to spam. Secondly, tan + two tone looks hideous. I'd honestly go for a black one (with two tone) or ME I don't know why the hyperlink isn't bad. It's the best two tone and comes with everything you're going to need. (except bb's, you will go through bb's faster than Lindsey Lohan goes through cocaine)

That looks awesome, very cyberpunk airsoft needs more games that step away from the standard military theme and experiment with new ideas.

You'd have to spend bloody ages painting if you want to achieve that effect with a brush/airbrush. If I were you I'd strip the entire gun down and get the pattern hydrographically applied, or maybe go for something more simple you can do with spray paint and stencils. This is what I did with my rifle using a can of brown Krylon, a can of black PlastiKote and a circles stencil: You can achieve a great look without really complex paint jobs and still be able to easily resell your rifle. You could even make your own stencils with card and a craft knife, and then apply it with Krylon spray paint (the best kind for painting stuff that needs to be non-reflective)

I'm with Tom on this. £15 will usually get you a rental gun and face protection, you just have to pay the site fee on top of that haha If it is just backyard plinking you want then get one of these: http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/Mossberg-590-Full-Stock-Shotgun-BB-Gun_AZJSR.aspx#.U4cRGom9LTo You can find them for really low prices on for sale forums usually (~£10). Transparent body so no worries with UKARA and shoots quite well being a really simple single shot rifle. Plus side if you get in the hobby it can be kept as a back up.

Its great to read about peoples first airsoft experiences. As I'm still new I'm really crap lol, I am still wondering where people are enjoying at just before I get hit. My first skirmish was a bit of a nightmare, I brought & was wearing way too much kit....so was sweating like a sumo wrestlers gusset I had no idea what was going on & being hit from all directions. The Kiss principle has now taken hold of my load out & i've trimmed down my kit significantly since then. And I'm also learning the skills to be more useful

Zeroone has had outstanding service every time i've used them, and they tend to have the cheapest prices most of the time.

Since I've only had to deal with a "codsofter" once, I'm led to believe it's not the fault of the person - just a lack of knowledge all of us regulars take for granted. Case in point: A young lad turned up with a double eagle g36c rifle and kept calling people cheats because they were hitting him but he couldn't hit them despite having "really good aim" in his own words. He proved he was willing to learn when I took him aside and explained why his rifle was the problem and not his aiming - as politely as possible as I can't stand people who shout "call your hits" as much as I can't stand people who don't call hits. Gave him my back up rifle to borrow and he actually became quite a useful player - was crazily brave once he realised his shots were actually now hitting people. End of the day him and his mum thanked me as it saved him from spoiling his day by leaving early due to not having fun. Like others have said it's down to us regular players to tolerate this (to a degree) and help them integrate themselves into the hobby. The younger players will help expand our hobby and make it a lot better for us all in the long run. Obvious cheating though like "last stand"/"body armour" should be actively discouraged for everyone's sake. Diatribe over now haha

Yes, to be honest you're much, much better off choosing an alternative from a UK based retailer, probably cheaper to buy, and most importantly, the retailer support and warranty. Evike arent regarded that highly.

Now I've seen everything.

The thing with Marui gearboxes is that you're not supposed to do anything to them.

Sooo....been buying stuffs FAB Defense 1911 grips Condor Gen 2 battle belt in CT (which I may have already mentioned but it took forever to get here from the US) WAS large torch/suppressor pouch (which despite being from the same supplier is a completely different colour from all my other WAS stuff - more brown than tan) Set of MOE rails for my M4 handguard SHS delayer chip and shim set (again for the M4 - proving that no matter how much you try you can't quite seem to improve on a TM gearbox)

Cyma CM121 for £40, great little gun.

Their moderators are terrible and ban people for minor offences. They also don't allow the posting of links to retailers and forums other than ZeroOne and ZeroIn.

CoD camos aren't edgy, they're downright ludicrous.

The best and cheapest place for batteries in my experience is component shop check them out http://www.componentshop.co.uk/batteries/airsoft/li-po-packs.html

thats very nice, only one issue being its out of stock. lol

Something like this should do: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/rolson-6-part-damaged-screw-and-bolt-remover-n18cx You use them in an electric screw driver or a manual one and unscrew as normal. The tip of the extractor will bite into the worn screw and it should start coming out.

Don't worry about the fps. Most sites have a 350 limit so you don't want to go over that. If you ever want to go to a CQB game then a 328 fps limit is likely. 320-330 is a good fps to have for a gun.

Sick as in "dats well gud innit kid!" Or sick as in "oh look I have just vomited on the floor and it looks a bit like my gun!"? The gun in the picture is hydrographic dipped. The chances are there will be someone local to you doing it, most probably a back street car paint shop. Where are you? Be warned though you wil have to strip all the pieces off the gun you don't want the pattern on, remove anything that moves and remove the gearbox, barrel ect.

he looks hilarious in that jacket! Thou I think I know where this is going and I think it really should be in the jbbg thread? WAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA Though the kid was serious until I saw the title! hilarious!! love it!

My first game was with a cheap two tone trishot, a pocket full of shells and some well worn camo. Got my ass handed to me many times over but really enjoyed it (obviously). Came back for more and listened to everyone/read everything I could find on my new hobby.

My first game was in December 2012. I had a JBBG gun, which held up quite well as I was in CQB situations, and was absolute pish- I think that I only hit out 2 people that day...

I think people need to know exactly what a "codsofter" is They are not necessarily (although usually are) new players and they are not elitists, in the traditional sense of the word They are basically usually younger players, who have played CoD and then have decided to go out and play airsoft without reading much about it and then think because they played CoD they are suddenly all knowledgeable and think everything works like it does in CoD, so they go around being obnoxious and doing things like no scoping, blind firing and generally thinking they'll be as good in airsoft as they are in the game and anyone who beats them must be "hacking" They are not by any means common and many people join the sport are perfectly few, its just a small minority who happen to do it

GoPro do complete giveaways (EVERYTHING that they sell on their website excluding old versions of the Hero) every week at GoPro.com. might be a good idea entering that if you are interrested, but don't want to pay. Who knows, you miht get lucky

full metal am bestest.

TM is the only 1911 worth buying, you really need the plastic slide with the tiny mags.

Hey! Im the one who found this picture , you just stole it from a thread I made a while back Don't worry its not actually jambwow. I was watching a youtube video by these guys called "simplepickup" and saw this dude, thought it looked exactly like jambwow and had to take a screenshot Rex

My ex liked the clothing. I often walk around in camo trousers anyway, but she seemed to especially like the full kit. She was indifferent to the guns, I didn't flash them in her face shouting "CHECK OUT MY NEW SCOPE!", so I guess that's why she didn't mind. It went downhill though, now the only person complaining about my hobby is my mother because they are too loud for her. Bless her.

yup - what do you want more stuff for she says - you can only fire one gun or wear one outfit at a time YEAH - and how mant friggin' feet do you have my dear ???

This isnt facebook

That post simultaneously gave me the Benjamin Button disease and turned me to Alcoholism. I'm now a 70 year old toddler who goes through more boxes of whiskey than nappies.

My Mrs doesn't mind me going at all in my "playing out clothes" as she puts it, says to play nice and remember to have juice and a biscuit at break time lol! (I'm gradually winning her round to come for a game one day!) (PS I'm 44 not a school age noob!)

shoots worse than it did stock, looks pretty though!

a guy asked me how much my pistol cost the last time I skirmished it, doing the maths in my head as I went made me feel a bit sick, I hadn't ever really thought about the whole total since I'd bought it in stages over the space of about 5 or 6 months. (£946 plus £125 for the holster ) If I were to do that for all of the stuff over the years I'd have a breakdown, sell it all and buy a little house to cry in.
