My wife thinks xbox is sad, my car is sad, my bike is sad, airsoft is sad, my drone is sad. my fish keeping isnt sad but i have too many tanks apparently so still get moaned at for that. anything i find fun is sad.

The only thing that worries me is one day my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them! 😟

TMC's copy of the Crye AVS. Im usually not a fan of anything TMC make but seeing as they have recently started using genuine Multicam material I thought id give it a shot and for £77 shipped from ShooterCB, Im very impressed. Much more solidly put together than any of their older stuff. Only thing im unsure of is if it will accept real Crye Zip On panels and dissapointed it didnt come with the quick release cables, although I never use it anyway (It is one way of attaching the multiple cummerbunds though) Comes with the Front M4 Flap 3 Band skeletel Cummberbund 1 Band Cummerbund Ive added myself Crye Shoulder pads TS Crye JPC Mbitr pouches Mayflower assault backpanel Internal padding from my CPC

Thats what I was thinking. After looking round your average safe zone I am surprised so many airsofters have a woman.

Not films but TV series The Pacific/Band of Brothers/Generation Kill

I agree. Don't draw attention to Airsoft. I very much doubt any re-opening of a discussion on Airsoft with policy makers would lead to an improvement for us - quite the opposite.

aye - Mrs Duck puts up a lot with my saddo hobbies suppose their must be a lot to be said for saying - opposites attract she is sensible I guess, think the only real error she has made was marrying me I keep telling her how lucky she is - one day she might just start to believe it - maybe

Mine likes the fact that I find shooting people with plastic an enjoyable de-stress, as it helps keeps me closer to the sane end of things, and not resorting to the arson of my work place. She says I wouldn't thrive in a prison setting.

^ well like many women, clearly putting all your time/energy towards her idea of the future is the only non-sad (happy i guess) thing to do or you might be a total dork in which case be grateful you got a woman hehe

My other half hates guns & violence in anyway so although she isnt really happy about what Airsoft portrays. she is happy that I am happy. Airsoft is a father/son day for me & my boy so she is happy we have something together. I just always have to keep the rifs well hidden & only get them out every so often.....Which actually makes it easier for me to hide new kit as she is unfamiliar with my loadout

My wife said recently "With all my friends they seem to be worried their husband is going to come home drunk, in the arms of some other woman or out with the lads moaning about their wives. At least with you I know you are so sad that you will just be off playing armies or doing some other sad hobby - it's quite comforting" I think that means she's generally supportive

Really fancied some Hexmags, so grabbed some other little bits while I was ordering from WGC. Lots of small pistol parts, I've had quite a few handguns 'in the shop' as it were and needing attention for ages, always tricky to get the little springs and screws etc I wanted to finish the builds. 4 x Dytac Hexmag midcaps Hexmag base plate/followers pack PTS Comp Ready Fighter Kimber 1911 mag bases Guarder steel 1911 grip screws, black and chrome First Factory extended PTS ACR handguard pin Modify VSR/Pistol bucking 3 x Stark G17 trigger springs Mechanix Originals and 0.5mm Originals AR-15 'TekMat' MSM patch

i am 48 and really enjoying it, i go with my 2 sons, aged 29 & 17 and shes just glad im outta the house giving her some peace and quiet and have fun with my sons, only draw back is, im spending a fortune getting into airsoft lol

Don't have enough camo to get the playing-soldiers line off mine, instead she assumes this is the first step in me trying to become batman. Just need a billion dollar trust fund and some mountain-top ninjitsu training then i'm sorted She don't like the marks it leaves, or when i've lazily left a gun out in pieces, but otherwise fine with it unless i opt to do it instead of something she wants to do on a specific day

More TaiwanGun goodies: 1 Red Dot sight (this time with mesh flash-killer!) 4 72-round grenades (for the newly-acquired M79 - still waiting for the M203 to arrive) 1 Speedloader (not shown) Ordered Monday, arrived Thursday - less than £90 including delivery.

I'm in my 40s now, and the Mrs thinks it's a bit sad to be playing soldiers at my age. But I was doing tournament paintball when we met 20 odd years ago, so it's nothing new Similar to some of the comments above - it's not like I play golf all weekend or spend every weekend traveling to football matches. So it doesn't take up too much of my time for the odd few games a year I manage these days. I earn my money, so she doesn't mind what I spend it on once the bills and mortgage are covered. Luckily she can't tell the difference between guns, so as long as she never sees more than 2 out at the same time, she doesn't know how big my collection is Although she often makes comments about my dedicated camo cupboard. I keep telling her you need a different set for every occasion ;-)

After coming back from doing a stint in Kurdistan (Syria/Iraq) with the YPG... My missus is glad that I'm playing airsoft rather than being back where I was less than 2 months ago. She didn't like hearing about what I had done etc out there, but now she actually enjoys my tales of taking objectives in the woods, being "shot" in the face, "killing" youngsters on the field! I'm adamant that she'll come play soon.. I keep bringing the game briefs home and leaving them on the side (intentionally)... and I've caught her the past couple of weekends reading them and asking how the game played out! Slowly started to introduce more war movies, and action films into our "movie date night", and she's even tried on my plate carrier/rigs, even got out in the garden shooting a load (hahaha...) into empty beer cans. To sum it up, I don't think she minds... She's got her nail polish, hair products, and always has her "girlfriends" over, so it gives me an excuse to get out!

More than 10 & less than 100 (I think but stopped counting months ago) That is all I'm prepared to say on the matter

You lot are sad.... Me on the other hand, I'm f*cking miserable Playing toy soldiers ??? I am reenacting famous strategic and tactical battles Yeah OK I'm playing toy soldiers

Your KAC triple tap brake is off, the centre most cut of those grooves that run in line with the axis of the bore should be at 12 o/clock ideally. If you're not bothered then hey no matter, just FYI. Not many AR-10s around so I always like to see them, the rifle itself looks good. Any reason for only the front iron sight out of interest?

I think the EPMs are super ugly - the Hex ones look pretty cool, but that's probably because they have a real steel counterpart. The EPM just looks like an E-Mag or P-Mag ripoff (which I suppose it kind of is really); I'm not a huge fan of the big base plate or the tacky fake bullet window. I know you can remove the baseplate and put a ranger one on there, and that the window shows when the mag is full but still.

i dont know for certain, but my PTS EPMs dont feed properly in my TR15, it starts off okay but after an hour or so it degrades until it only feeds every third BB. its amazingly consistent in that it gives two dry fires and then one normal shot... very strange indeed

happy to hear it, its always good fun after tinkering and fixing a magazine thats been pissing you off for the last couple of skirmishes. If only gearboxes were as easy as GBB parts

Got all the externals for my sr25 now, time to head into the gearbox and do the shims, AoE and install a sorbo pad. Not sure if I should hard wire the mosfet in or not

Ah you have access to Evike without the ridiculous charges... Always wanted a specific item from there, but with all the charges, it comes to too much for what it is... They've got some great stuff though

I'm bad at reading and I should feel bad. Let us know how those Hexmags go; I was going to grab some myself but went for the EPMs instead.

I've got one myself....had it since Christmas and its held up very well so far, really comfy to

The bad news is you spend a fortune getting in and then you carry on spending a fortune once youre hooked. Im 53 and also play with my son who's 26.

As with all other hobbies I've had/have, she fucking hates it! Money I could be spending on her/son!

Nah its awesome when my new one turns up will lend you the other one. Once you get used to the ammo counter and easy programmable burst fire theres no going back.

My wife doesn't mind the airsofting as such but she does roll her eyes a bit when yet another delivery turns up. As long as I take her out once in a while she's fine with me doing whatever. The impending purchase of a house that'll almost double my mortgage payments may well see UK Tactical's profits drop though....

B*llocks to that its the only time I get away from the nagging. God knows what the fallout would be if I shot her.Best thing about airsoft is that you can go alone and get some me time.

i think it might be worth popping in since my eyes are up for a retest soon, and i have used specsavers for since forever, so if they say no again ill go have a quick check elsewhere

Try asking on gasguns.info - they're much better with these things.

I asked specsavers for contacts, they said I couldn't have them. They lied, they just did not stock the brand required for my condition. As I found out when I went to their competitor in our local town and never set foot there again. Never let someone tell you you can have something without a 2nd opinion.

Most hobbies are kind of sad or pointless depending on your viewpoint. I dont think the majority of wives and girlfriends really understand the attraction or point of airsoft, let alone players obsessions with dressing up. My wife thinks that girls are forced to grow up by having babies and life in general where as most boys never grow up and dont really have to. For this reason, she accepts that I like to play war, collect toy guns and dress like a soldier. She is pragmatic in that it helps to keep me fit, outdoors and keeps me out of more serious trouble like drinking, gambling and chasing other women. I dont play every week so it doesnt consume huge amounts of family time which is often the killer as younger players start families.

My missus doesnt mind me playing just hates it when I am covered in welts and bruises. Which is why I am banned from playing until after the family holiday.

You see, I've always been interested to know what guns you have. The 'WAY TOO MANY' has sparked my curiosity. Is there a list floating about anywhere?

Just tell her shes right. You should be down the pub with your mates getting drunk and chasing skirt.

What a necropost!

The more the merrier. Come on down and kick some ass!.

ATACS-FG boonie. Made in Ukraine by company ''Tornado''. Purchased from ''Symvolika'' shop in Lviv. A-tacs has really grown on me and it's pretty neutral and decent for casual use,the heat here is insane(Close to 40 degrees) 135 UAH, about 4 pounds sterling. Not bad

Great! I am away this weekend so I won't be able to go either. But it's handy they do thursday evenings!

I like to pick my targets rather than spray, so in low light or darkness a Tracer is pretty useful to confirm where you are shooting.. It also looks flipping cool!!! So in my mind yes they are worth it..

Will post a better picture once its fully finished...However, here is my Ares Vz.58 compact so far Will end up looking something close to this:

christ

Cant see it mate, completely pointless in N.Ireland 328fps limit on all guns

Two words: Forrest Gump And on a serious note, American Sniper is a cracking film, especially when you realise it's a true story and the photo of Kyle's casket covered in badges (forgive me if the SEALs call it something else) is real
