It's sooo beautifuuuuulllll........

Nuprols have a special coating that stops them feeding to reduce wear on your barrel

Got given a sub-zero looking mask, i gave it a test shot and it punched the thin plastic lens right out. So I didn't get chosen to represent Earth in the next Mortal Kombat

How did the dude get to be squad leader? Doesn't seem like he was promoted based on ability... Unfortunately the idea of skirmishing being a smooth running military op seems an impossible dream, unless you had to prove your athletic/tactical/shooting abilities to play it first. At least it's not a giant stag-do like paintball.

I joinded a squad on a milsim game. We saw two enemy squads and they saw us too. They took cover in bushes and ditches. Then the sqad leader ordered us to do a frontal attack. This was our "cover". I couldn't believe it so I took a photo while staying behind. Another disappointment is skirmishing in the UK. It's just paintballing with airsoft guns.

Aug 16th at Our Lady of Plastic Death, Friar Street, Reading. All are welcome to feel it's warm embrace.

I guess a lot of people don't realise that BBs are actually polished, and they come with a slight waxy coating. One of the reasons this is done is to avoid the plastic of the BBs being laid down into the inner barrel and slowly destroying the surface. Snipers don't fire many rounds so they can get away with the residue problem and just clean their weapons barrel often enough that it likely never becomes an issue. However an AEG can fire a lot of rounds in a day and end up laying down a sufficient amount of melted plastic such that it doesn't come off. The waxy coating has two impacts, it gets left behind in the barrel and needs regular cleaning and it reduces the effect of the hop rubber on the BB as it slides past. But compared to having melted plastic in your barrel its a better option.

Alternatively, WE thought of a great way to resolve the issue... Fill the mags with gas and join us on the dark side

Calais anyone?

They just have a third hand with twelve fingers on it!

Me, being an idiot as a beginner and buying two kinda shitty guns (the M4 definitely)

I'm sure an admin or mod Will close this thread soon for presenting strong pornography without a disclaimer I am, quite frankly, appalled that this be posted somewhere children could see it and develop new unusual feelings for cars every time their parents visited the petrol station

Ordering an Enfield from Shoot and Scoot 2 month ago... Spent half the morning trying to contact them to say its too late to be any use to me now I want my money back.

Marushin Fn5-7. Felt like a springer, mold lines everywhere, wouldn't cycle on anything other than 134a and could have been beaten by a McDonald's straw.

Gearing up to throw a grenade, thinking that I'll kill thousands. Pull the ringpull/strike the fuse. Assume the position. Mid-throw. Realise I can't throw. Grenade fails and kills no-one.

Personally - I feel that washing your BBs falls under the long list of things that life is just too short for. Like bad coffee or Jeremy Kyle.

He's had much the same response on FB too!

Is that a video called 'Safety First' where people are wearing no eye pro while someone is shooting, in what looks like the safe zone?

As others have said marshaling really makes the difference. Biggest gripes for me are if they are blatantly not paying attention to a firefight right in front(once had two marshals chatting whilst two players very close to them wouldn't take their hits for instance) of them or think they can shout at you for minor infringements. I'd heard people going on about how the marshals at Bluestreak get you to do press ups. Turns out they do it only to people who had mags in their gun in the safe zone or went into the game area without eye pro. It's all done in jest but hopefully the safety aspect sticks with people. I still think more sites need to test shoot people though as standing right next to a load of players just tells any would be cheat to pack it in till they move on. The amount of times a player who possibly wasn't taking hits and lo and behold with a marshal within earshot suddenly does is considerable.

And I still need the help of my tiny weak girlfriend to close the gear box in my g63, no matter how many times I've had it apart 😂 Do the people who make them in the factory have 2 normal size man hands and another 2 pair the size of a small girl !

I was looking forward to playing airsoft for the first time about a year ago then realising the minimum age is 14. But i can play now.

Apart from the barrel and hop, I've no idea what anything after the trigger kit is, but that is one sexy looking gun.

Sounds like the problem might be the holster then rather than the pistol.

With great power, comes great responsibility. Lol

It can if it is poorly engineered and made. You can use 2 thinner plies one at 90 deg and one at 45 deg and when cooked under pressure they fuse and it can double the strength compared to one single thicker ply. It will be more than durable enough, we make car doors which have passed crash tests and are on the roads now lol. I personally would not have a carbon gun unless I wanted it super lightweight and then I would paint it. But there are those who love it and would have one if engineered right. You did make me laugh with the saxo comment lol!

Capture the flag game 2 guys pinning us down, 1 guy taken out the other behind hard cover. As I move forward firing short burst to keep his head down, I'm within steps of getting the flag, I take cover to change mags & look to my rear to find everyone just standing about 30 ft away doing f**k all & at that point I get hit, happened twice that day where I start to push forward with no back up grrrrr

Expecting my belt rig without its harness to work as well on site as it did when I was clearing room to room in my house. It kept falling down every 5 steps, sagging and smacking me in the arse . It ended up taking the trouser button off my BDU's so they kept falling down. So I was totally immobile beyond maybe 10 steps at a time, I was frustrated and sweating so my goggles obviously fogged up and I couldn't see f*ck all through the tiny peephole on the m14 iron sights which was a bit naff because it was the first time I'd used it so I wasn't much use. Just stood there getting shot a lot lol

There will be other times! I'm fortunate in that I don't have these "kids" of which you speak to spend all my money for me.....

No need for that. Would love to make it but holiday has just cleaned me out. Was going to buy a new backup this month but the kids spent my airsoft fund.

Consider the TM G18 too, could be more fun, but probably less practical. TM made the original designs for many airsoft guns, and when other's copy them, they get the balance 'off' by changing materials and other aspects of the systems, TM guns are worth the money, unless the cheaper guns have something specific you desire - other than being cheaper.

Congratulations on your new arrival.

Where to start since its my birthday i have just spent £360 on airsoft gear an Mtp plate carrier,Milcom boots,2 M4 midcaps,fobus G19 holster,2 batteries,a gun bag,some green gas,We G19,We G19 spare magazine,Mechanix gloves,2 morale patches and a mesh mask.

Making a petition like this a day after a 16yo and two 17yo's were arrested by armed police officers and released on bail pending inquiries when they got a RIF out in public in Hanley, Stoke-on-trent is a massively dumb move.

http://www.ebairsoft.com/maritime-helmet-tb815-p-7424.html This would be a very wise choice as a starting helmet - obviously a FAST-styled one so relatively simple and doesn't require much money putting into unlike my TMC AirFrame in which I've had to invest money on a real-deal retention system due to comfort issues. Also, looks (and probably feels, due to being FMA) pretty damn close to the real Ops-Core for the price.

Conversely, my best at the Mall went unfilmed. Came up the back stairs that are always lit red (regulars know where I mean) turned left into Salisburys to clear it - no one there. Now I knew my mates were still at the bottom of the stairs. I heard activity in the corridor came back out into the long corridor at the back of the store. 7-8 enemy. I literally walked up to each of them point blank and shot them with my pistol as they all thought I was a friendly. One bloke even shouting 'Will someone shoot this fucker!!" Brilliant.

I found an allen key inside a tub of butter once, guess it's similar dimensions to the tub i put my airsoft tools in, but still a big autopilot failure as was in the fridge. The best autopilot failure i ever saw was someone who'd passed out drunk an hour or so earlier stagger down-stairs, walk into the kitchen and up to a chair, tilt the chair back on two legs, piss on the floor underneath it, tilt the chair back to standing and then stagger back upstairs (unwoken by the cries of WTF from housemates) I found a single pink high-heal shoe in a corner at The Mall once. I asked if there'd been anyone wearing them as a joke, or one worn at a zombie event or similar and marshals said they couldn't remember a single time someone had worn heals there and certainly not recently. (my guess therefor it being a lucky charm or left by someone who broke in to explore/whore/inject the night before) A friend of mine found a rusted dagger on the bank of the Rhine in Berlin when we were kids, on inspection a decade or so later it turned out to be one of the more ornate/original ones dished out to the first batch of Hitler youth/SS, rather than the plainer ones handed out en mass. Was either where some Nazi met his end, accidentally dropped or decided it wasn't best to appear a dedicated Nazi anymore and chucked it in. Same friend also found his long lost first airsoft pistol buried in his parents garden. Turned out his mum had thought it was a real gun due to looking nothing like his airgun pistol and had 'disposed' of it to protect him.

I genuinely wash mine, well the ones used in my sniper only. I have a 5 stage process that has been refined from the data on the sniper forums, in an AEG it's probably pointless because of the number of variables already in play. However I clean the barrels of my pistols and AEG's every game day, mags are stripped and cleaned about every 4th or 5th game day, unless they get particularly dirty somewhere like the sandpit perhaps. The point of the sniper setup is to remove as much variation as possible. There is a release agent and dust from production on the bbs, the release agent causes variations in the pressure and back spin applied by the hop. Dust and release agent can cause patches within the barrel that might have an impact on the flight of the bb. The sniper forums are very details orientated, and results are published, evidence is targets with 10 or so shots, and variables are tested fairly scientifically, clean barrel + unwashed bbs, Dirty barrel + unwashed bbs, clean barrel + washed bbs. The difference in groupings was fairly clear in my eyes. Someone even tested different washing techniques. My process (which is probably overkill and unnecessary, but it makes me feel better, and mistakes with shots are my fault not the kit) Step 1, hot water and fairy liquid. 5min soak, then swirling, drain. Step 2, diet lemonade (cheap and nasty works fine), this is for the acids. 5min soak, then swirl, drain. Step 3, hot water and fairy liquid, swirl. Step 4, rinse in cold water Step 5, dry on a clean baking tray, on a windowsill in the sun as quickly as possible, store in washed 500ml coke bottles.

^^ Well Chernobyl would certainly make the tracer BBs glow. Would not fancy running around in NBC kit (that is CBRN for the youngsters) and S10 respirator.

This wasn't me, but we had just started a round and there was quite a steep and long slope down from our ridge to the playing area, and it had rained all night. This un-slender chap starts going down, and towards the top slips and lands with a massive thud on his back side and slips down about half a metre. But rather than face the indignity of trying to get up on a slippy slope with nothing to hold, he paused, started using his feet, and tobogganed on his rear-end down the remaining 10 metres or so yelling "banzai!" Suffice to say, he styled out of his fall like a pro in my opinion.

You like his helmet.

My home town, home advantage for the win...

It is a tempting Aladdin's cave when you realise how big and varied the world of shopping online for airsoft kit is. Which is why I have removed the eBay and Amazon App's from my phone.

putting your hand up and shouting hit does not mean you won't still get lit up and hosed by all of the opposition. Research what you want and buy cheap kit to start with as you will change your mind.

The whole "dead men don't talk" rule... I agree with it 100% but no-one seems to follow it to the tee! Just because people aren't "moving their mouth" doesn't mean you can continue to bloody use your hands and point, using flash lights, nodding/shaking their head or start doing the god damn YMCA!

Magnified sights are for snipers and posers. Red dot sights don't always turn themselves off when you put your gun away. Red dot sights will sometimes turn themselves off just before you REALLY need to aim at something. Some people have no sense of fun.

Don't say to the other half... "Oh I'll only go once this month.." and then go another 3 times...!

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.
