Its where I go when I'm in bother.......I have music, internet & a very comfy sofa bed. I sometimes wind my other half up so I have an excuse to go in there.

in short there isn't many places in the house that ISN'T my workspace kitchen table - dining table - even a big wide window sill Where are we gonna eat they say ???? MacDonalds ffs - don't touch my stuff it is all arranged in methodical chaotic order

Hello guys! I just wanna know what you think about my "project" I work on my own face protection since i had trouble with regular mesh masks. Would you use one of these?

IT'S HERE! Isn't Chris beautiful? (KSC) KRISS VECTOR.

It's all about context. If one gay man says "you're so damn gay" to his friend it probably isn't an insult but if someone else shouts it at the same person with intent then yes it probably is an insult. In the same way that the Royal Philharmonic playing Ace of Spades isn't heavy metal but Motorhead playing Beethoven's 5th definitely is.

G36, better deal.

Hi guys, I'm Alex from Hastings and I'm all rather new to this airsoft stuff. I've spent a lot of time in the past with paintball and for the past 6 years have been involved in reenactment but now some good friends of mind have convinced me to join in with the world of airsoft. I've got my first event scheduled for mid August which I am really looking forward to and will be researching and trying to get as ready as I can. Look forward to joining in wih the community and hopefully meeting some of you at local events etc. Alex

Please let this stupid thread die.

dont think there is such a thing as too much lol

Ohh wicked thanks for the offer! If you ever see a big ginger bearded man there with a two tone M4 come say hi haha! I'm not too fussed about team balancing aslong as I get a few kills or do some objectives I'll be happy !

'fun-boys' in a german accent

^ this, 4 extra mags and the charger a definite plus, although kudos to you if you manage to use more than a couple hicaps in one game

Got about 10000ft of workshop to tinker in and when I have finished I use it as a firing range. Boss is always moaning about bbs on the warehouse floor ☺

im really struggling to click buy, I think I will play one game with the gun stock. see how it performs then make my decisions

G36c's are fairly popular as well, just make sure you research into the specific model you're gonna buy, look for reviews, compare with similar ones etc, mostly common sense.

also if its broken, i wouldnt say 'hardly' used.

You know the guys at wolfarmouries were probably shooting eachother with it before they shipped it.

Ive been searching for military style lower masks as a lot of the masks on the airsoft market dont look very mil. I have quite a collection of different solutions and one of my favourites is a quad bike dust mask. Its hard to visualise the end product of your project but it looks like its going the right way. If the material is a permanent fixture, it might be a bit hot in the warmer weather. Suggest you check to make sure your exhaling breath doesnt fog your ballistics. I presume your use of perforated foam is designed to stop that ?

I actually like the paintjob on it.

Nope

don't feel worthy after the last few posts but I bought an ACM / Lancer Tactical PT plate carrier and some Guarder grease off TaiwanGun for 27 quid

Welcome to the forum mate, just depends what exactly you mean by a fortune. I know paintball markers are pretty expensive as well but not sure what kind of budget you'll be looking at. Also are there are particular guns you like the look of? I wanna point out gas isn't the best thing to go for if you are just starting - usually because of people's inexperience and not having the commitment to maintain em all the time, but also cos they are so expensive. From what I know WE are quite a 'go-to' brand for GBBRs as they're probably the most inexpensive, and they do M4s / SCARs / L85A2 etc. PTS just came out with a Magpul Masada for £360 IIRC. Honestly you're looking at least 250 that's basically the cheapest you're gonna get a gas rifle. You might wanna consider a Tippmann M4 as they can be run on HPA like a paintball gun, potentially you could use some of your existing pball gear for that rather than spending £50+ on a new one. They're 400 quid...but it's cheap compared to SMP / P* setups which are drop in replacements for the standard gearbox in an AEG yet cost about as much as the Tippmann alone just for the fusion engine unit. In all I'd say start off with a JG G36 / G&G Combat Machine M4 / CYMA AK (the top three recommended beginner electric guns) to get a feel for it and so you're able to play with your own gun. Then you could move up to something better or upgrade it. Alternatively, go and hire for a few games, you're not gonna have spent a load on your own gun only to find out you don't enjoy it. Spring are worthless (only for backyard plinking) unless you mean sniper rifles, but even they aren't worth the money (you need to spend a lot on upgrades to make them really good, otherwise performance is as same as an AEG but you're limited by mag capacity and rate of fire etc) Hope this helps

As long as its gas powered, it'll be stupid fun to shoot... Once you turn to the dark side there's no going back...

How about treating them like people?

Ahh right, thanks for letting me know! Hmmph I thought the KSC model was for Japan use, as their FPS rules are about the same - don't have a chrono for it.

Colonel Kurtz I disagree stongly. What if you're a minor that wants an expensive gun say a gbbr (obvs well into airsoft) if everyone was really snobby about it and wouldn't two tone either you'd need someone to sell it illegally, a older friend with a ukara, a parent with a ukara or to risk it with customs none of which are particularly legal or moral. I feel like sometimes the snobbery around two toned rifles/younger players can make people that are new feel uncomfortable and unwanted i.e putting them off airsoft. ^^ sorry for short unstructured rant

no, having something that looks a bit naff doesnt bother me really, 4 rentals at £20 each just to be able to get the ukara or 100 on something useable and two tone that can be sold for a bit or painted and kept

Ahahaha love it, life is so much easier when defined in terms of metal

As has already been said in this thread: UTG is a rebrand of Well which is, in turn, a clone of the Maruzen L96 (generally the APS-2), not the TM L96 AWS (which has the realistic magazine placement). Why on earth anyone would go as far afield as the US to buy probably the most reproduced airsoft gun ever made (other than perhaps the TM M3 and its clones) is beyond me. Grab a Well L96, or a Mauser/Cybergun. Frankly, they all shoot the same really. Buy a new cylinder, trigger, spring and guide rod from http://www.airsoftpro.cz/ before you think about taking it out. Oh and the obligatory 'don't buy a sniper rifle' is very much true - it's a really silly weapon to take to skirmishes. Even the one I've put a lot of money into isn't anywhere near my favorite thing to use.

Yeah defiantly the largest, and the animals in them (cattle mostly) being one of (possibly the most cant remember) biggest greenhouse effect contributors. Friend of mine just left a job for an up-coming Chinese owned mine in Africa where they're buldozing forest and ghettos to make it happen, and it's producing lots of rare metals used in computers so brought it to mind (he left when they started talking about bull-dozing the neighboring shanty town as his job was then to design what would be built in it's place, didn't care about the trees/wildlife tho, i have reported him to Bono) But back on topic; http://forums.zeroin.co.uk/showthread.php?259921-G-amp-G-TR4-CQB-S-Two-Tone-Highly-Modified-Internals Two-toned G&G M4 for £400!

That's the point lol When pedo's, kidnappers etc say 'I've got something for you' He was being funny mate

Honestly stuck for words. 😂

Hi, I'm also new to airsoft, I have got myself a two tone M4 that's never been skirmishes along with myself and I've been looking into Skirmish Billericy and just wanted to know what it's like there as I believe they host games weekly. It's nice to see an airsoft Essex thread as I'm from Romford and also drive!

Sometime it's my desk which is also my work desk in my home office. Sometimes the floor if I'm feeling a bit informal. Sometimes it's the coffee table which I make a mess of and get grease everywhere.

Go to a surplus army shop for the good old stuff sack I got 2 weeks worth of kit in them & a mate of uses one He fits everything he needs for a days skirmish plus room left over

You want these oneshttp://www.ukmcpro.co.uk/Bolle-Tactical-X1000-Goggles-RX-Model-Gear/p/4/2/6236/

Had a UTG L96 about 8 years ago, shot well enough and not far off 500fps, its just the usual chinese clone available under various identities. UTG do a fair range of accessories like scopes, rail covers etc which can be bought from Soldier of Fortune among others.

Yeah I thought UTG was weird, guessed it was a US market rebrand and yeah turns out is the same as the WELL / Warrior MB01.

G&G CM16 BOT300 & have a KSC VECTOR GBB coming tomorrow

Would have personally put a T1 style sight or an acog on it, but actually looks pretty cool as it is

I might not show it but everytime someone on my team screams "call your hits" I am wishing the marshals scoop them up and ban them. I was fighting next to one of these tits for a bit on Sunday and after he started calling that I just backed off and found somewhere else to fight the enemy. My tolerance for that sort of behaviour is really wearing thin.

Another good way is to look through the hugggge thread of gun pics, find one you like the look of and take it from there.

No grooming on the forum.

SHOPPING CART Lonex Cylinder Head Version 3 +- £11.99 Remove Prometheus Soft Purple AEG Bucking +- £9.99 Remove PDI 6.05mm Precision Steel Barrel AEG 472mm +- £89.99 Remove Special instructions for seller Subtotal £111.97 what do people think of this, (cost almost what the bloody gun did) will it make a noticeable improvement?

iv just bought a magpul pts rm4 erg and its probs the best i have its accuracy and realism of the recoil is awesome i got it from land warrior airsoft for 357.99 with extra mag and delivery the cheapest around.

Nice review mate! I found it most helpful!

Not so much a specific post, but rather a member whom I feel over prices all of his kit. http://forums.zeroin.co.uk/member.php?112691-Desert-Express Many may disagree with me, a lot of his stuff is "rare" pistols with fancy slides etc but about 98% of his sales posts have been up since the dawn of time with pages of endless bumps and desperate price drops, yet still no sale. I feel this is because he ridiculously overprices his guns just because they have a shiny slide. As said, some will disagree. That's your opinion however I cannot justify selling a pistol for excesses of £500 with a "rare" metal kit and a single magaizne nothing more. I see far more custom pistol packages with plenty of magazines, a holster, fancy metal kits etc which go from £150 to £300 tops.

this is literally the first one ever

All this talk is of moot point anyway, Managed to try one out, as I was genuinely considering buying one. Won't cycle with a KJ Green mag, slide is too heavy. CO2 mag, even after bleeding off the first few shots of gas, was doing 375fps in a 20 degree room. Not Skirmishable.

Come on you boys in green!!! Me at the Barcelona vs Celtic game couple of years back
