Wouldn't work on my local site. We are not allowed to run from a grenade. We take it like men. Screaming.

Is it an "airsoft sin" to deliberately throw in dud grenades and follow them straight through the door to shoot the enemy trying to get away? Because I am completely guilty if it is haha

Keeping it simple with this, Optic and a foregrip added.

My usual outcome for most games, lol.

I sent a friend to JustBBguns

TMC and Emerson are definitely different companies. Both pretty cheap and cheerful, there's no way on earth I'd ever pay £100 for anything made by either company when you could spend the same amount on Warrior or Condor kit that's borderline indestructible.

can't go wrong with an issued UBACS, cheap as chips too.

Of the dozens of different brands and models I've owned, the british issued combat shirt has proven the most practical and comfortable for airsoft use. They're available in MTP and dessie DPM for absolute peanuts on eBay; best bang for your buck by a long stretch to my mind. Getting a higher quality trouser that'll accept internal foam padding around the knees is generally cheaper and easier than trying to get something Crye style. Anything sold by tactical-kit or hueys should be good and you're well covered if they should happen to fail you unduly quickly.

Why did you put Vaseline in there? Don't do that again, heh.

We recommend to never buy from the 'BB gun' sites. Especially this Mark 1 place, never heard of it. Seems very dodgy

Please let this stupid thread die.

I'm sure you do son.

If I do shoot a kid I try and follow it with a Nelson "Haw Haw", so they fully appreciate the situation. Did have one jump up and scream 'don't shoot' once after I burst round a corner and shot his mate. I asked but he didn't have any lunch-money so i shot him in the foot

You could get: http://www.uktactical.com/p-8716-warrior-dcs-plate-carrier-base-olive-drab.aspx or http://www.uktactical.com/p-10290-warrior-ricas-compact-base-olive-drab.aspx Then look at getting cheap mag pouches, there's a bundle on there which is around £150 which is 5 mag pouches and 2 utility pouches(for the DCS) http://www.uktactical.com/p-8717-warrior-dcs-da556-olive-drab.aspx or http://www.uktactical.com/p-10561-warrior-dcs-m4-olive-drab.aspx That works out cheaper than buying them individually. Up to you really, the warrior pouches are nice quality but you could get cheaper ones which may or may not start coming apart after a few months use.

i hear you mate, but as i am just starting out i dont really want to throw loads into it, i am still testing the waters so to speak also have a hard time justifying the expense to the missus at the moment, but if i do go regular and love the hobby this will get easier (i hope lol)

http://www.samaritans.org/ I hope they can help, I know you may have issues but they can help. The Samaritans can be there for you to off load you problems too, someone who can listen and give you in biased advice. Unlike the bunch of /insert own adjective here/ on here. 😂😔🔫

Another user of rockets here. Good value for money and stocked by my local site too

Shouldn't need modification for an EOTech, if anything the holographic and front sight post will co-witness? I have a red dot sight on my M4 and it doesn't get in the way.

Ordered a casv front end for my scar, also got a whole bunch of zci bits to go inside it..

Take the inner barrel assembly out and look down the barrel, can you see the hop rubber? What weight bb are you shooting?

Very very unlikely to be a 6.23 as that's proper wide-bore, which seems now to be mostly argued as only having benefit when using gas/hpa etc. everyone with a sniper rifle will want a tight-bore in there so would be a poor decision on CYMA's behalf, unless they assumed they were all going to be chucked away anyways and was cheaper to make or something 6.08 is the general standard size of brass barrel put into most guns regardless of manufacturer, if not this then the alternate size is usually listed as a selling point. A decent quality steel one will be better due to more consistency in the build quality & finishing, rather than any difference in bore. The whole idea of bore size and difference it makes in airsoft barrels is all a bit voodoo and entirely unproven either side of the argument (wide is best vs narrow is best). therefore the only thing you can be certain of is a well built and finished barrel of higher density metal will be 'better' than a brass one with a coating layer inside.

99.9% of the time I agree with you 😝 but on this one I am right 😎

The site is great, I've ordered quite a few times from them. They are moving warehouse that's why the price drop. Shipping for the stuff on that high discount is really high as mentioned before.

My local occasionally has a free for all at the end of the day. I often suggest to friends that we team up before shooting them all for believing I'd be so generous. I should add that I only do it to friends who I'd have a laugh with and should know better than to trust me

Get a magpul prs stock. Looks awesome on a SR25

Succeeding not trying. Get a sense of humour its more important in airsoft that anything else. If you were offended you can find the number for the samaritans in the yellow pages.

Another confession: I often deploy my BFG more than once per reload when I'm playing aggressively. On Saturday a marshall picked up my beg after I ran off chasing someone through a building as they thought it was live. The Marshall made it safe without realising what I'd done It's always satisfying shooting someone in the back after they turned to run away from a dud grenade

Airsoft confessions Yes love this new toy gun only cost £80 as it was on sale

The cheapo killflashes are alrite, found mine was a bit dark to look through though, so popped out the mesh and replaced it with some thin polycarb.

Just bought: CM.701b (Fully VSR compatible) GTPA606D - LiPo / NiCad Charging unit from Taiwangun. See them next week!

Nope its bloody ugly. Guess what they say about beauty is in the eye of the beholder is true. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it though.

Sorry about your trouble, Ive never heard of any of these companies. I dont know what amount of money you spent, but its always worth checking retailers out on here. Collectively, we've probably dealt with most of them. We all get caught out occasionally. I guess its a consequence of buying online although Paypal are usually quite good. I bought a decent bipod from a supplier of outdoor and rifle stuff. When I asked if they had sent it yet, they immediately said it should have been with me by now and offered to refund. My suspicions were triggered. On checking they claimed it was despatched by first class post instead of a trackable courier and blamed human error. They said they will refund me and asked that I let them know if it ever turns up. As its a Paypal pay once its delivered type transaction, Im waiting to see if the bipod turns up or Paypal try to debit my bank account. For some reason, I have a sneaky suspicion that they found they were out of stock and its some kind of cover up - we will see. They are a long established Paypal trader with in excess of 99.6% feedback so maybe Im just cynical.

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.

they with both be around 340 out the box which is perfect

Hey, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NIYNUBG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01 It's not what you thought ^^ Battery... the 64GB card can have atleast 4 hours, consult GoPro website or 3rd party reviews... I didn't charge my battery probably.

If you do google it just don't take the laptop into Dixons to fix afterwards

Playing a game a while ago I got really wound up with my team not pushing and just camping around. After being shot in the back on three occasions by the same group of teammates as I tried to push through and break a bottle neck I had enough so the next time I regened I chucked a couple of pyro amongst them all. Killed about a dozen of my team but managed to push through after without being team killed again.

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.

I don't think i've been to a game where there haven't been at least a couple of people cheating. The problem always is that cheaters will always start taking their hits the minute a marshal stands near them, the best solution is to get marshals to test shoot people. They just need to not be dopey and test shoot the same person 5 times in a day, otherwise people will understandably get pissed off. As far as gear goes, i dunno about anyone else but I most commonly get shot in the arms and face as you have to expose them to shoot. I have seen much more of a link between non hit taking and the person being a cheat than anything gear related. It's already been mentioned that a lot of the hit taking accusations end up just being people not in range. I used to do this but now only chalk it up to cheating if I am well in range and can generally see the shots bouncing. When I run my LMG I generally keeping shooting people until they put their hand up. I've had multiple instances of marshals actually telling the other players to take their hits or to make it clear they are hit if they don't want to keep being shot. Generally speaking though it's not too much of a problem, just calmly report people including what they are wearing to marshals. If nothing really gets done it might be worth considering another site.

Its a common problem. Some sites are better than others in that some dont care too much or have favourite cliques which can do no wrong. Without naming names, Ive seen some sites come down very hard with schoolboy talkings to and marshals shooting suspects anonymously to see if the accused really are guilty. The only way to do something about it is to vote with your feet. If you experience it, complain to the organisers. If it doesnt get sorted in a reasonable time frame, play somewhere else.

Sorry groverner I'll put the troll treats away

The biggest reason for non hit taking is the amount of gear people wear. Some people have so much kit and protection on they just dont feel it. I am sure there must have been times when someone has hit my mag pouches and I havent felt it but others take it to the extreme with thick plate carriers and even backpacks and dont get me started on the hard shell crowd. If people would just thin down their gear it wouldnt be such an issue.

If the really did notice it, give them a chance if it happens on a number of occasions Make sure you and all your team play "aim to maim" empty a full mag into any bare piece of skin you can as close as possible at the soonest oppetunity you can, just to remind them not to cheat.

Airsoft relies on people taking their hits, otherwise it'd devolve into a sadomasochistic event where people just shoot each other until someone uses the safety-word or has to change their underpants. In my experience, everyone who plays airsoft regularly has the right idea about taking hits and how to behave in their mind. However, many people aren't used to adrenaline, or any shade of combat, and many people can behave in a manner they're hopefully embarrassed about once the juices get going. People can get trapped in the moment, and the most common kind of non-hit-taking i witness is those who don't acknowledge the hit until their current purpose has been completed (like the person they're shooting at taking the hit). Then the logic side of the brain takes back over from caveman and order ensues. There's nothing airsoft can do to stamp it out other than turning it into laser-quest, or making everyone use tracers, or have 1 marshal per person like in some those mental Japanese tournaments I've seen online. The best thing the community can do is to make the process of taking the hit seem easier and more enjoyable. This is achieved by all those good-sporting types who congratulate people when hit and cheerfully skip back to re-spawn. Kudos to you all, I try, but sometimes barely able to squeak 'hit' let alone any kind of congrats (the arm goes up with a raised thumb on reflex now, I've beaten the paintball urge to check my clothing for marks finally hehe)

"Is someone running propane? Feckin' stinks in here!" Is that the reason for the forum name?

I want those 1911 grips 😁

On the one hand I agree, on the other if someone is stupid enough to buy something without researching its real worth then they kind of deserve it IMO.

Could of been worse he could of said KY jelly that would have definitely raised some eyebrows.

I'd get the vaseline out if I was you. Being petroleum based it might eat into your seals. Even if it doesn't it's nasty stuff once it gets dirt in it, will probably cause jams rather than lubricate it lol!
