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.3 points -

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.3 points -

Washing bb's
lafta and 2 others reacted to BrightCandle for a topic
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.3 points -

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?2 points

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.2 points

Carbon fibre accessories always make me think of Saxo dashboards and Max Power. And then it makes me sad. Unless I'm remembering it wrong CF still has the ability to fail at any given moment from a slight knock in the wrong direction so I'm not entirely sure it'll be durable enough for an airsoft gun...1 point

Me and a friend once did the same thing as you. A group of about a dozen of us crossing mostly open ground around the perimeter of site, ran into some bad guys. After standing out of range for a second, another friend led a heroic charge into the enemy whilst me and my mate Sat back and waited to watch them all get shot. After most of them were dead, we agreed that if the first mate (who somehow wasn't hit yet) could medic the other 9 friendly players and revive the assault, we would eat our guns. Once he got the first few guys back up we ran into the fray and reinforced him. We ended up medicing every player and pushing through the enemies to the building we were tasked with taking And I still haven't ate my gun1 point -

Petition to get the UK government to relax laws on airsoft
Jedi_Master reacted to Colonel Kurtz for a topic
Unfortunately the law couldn't be tailored to say "well mannered middle class under 18's only", so it doesn't matter how sensible the minority are, if the law was changed you'd have all sorts of estate dwelling hood-rats running around with RIF putting the shits up the general public. Although maybe they'd all buy molle-belts too which might keep their trousers above knee height1 point -

Thermoplastics can be remoulded, thermosetting plastics cannot. If the Fobus plastic feels pliable then you should be able to re-form it to a degree. I would suggest heating it in boiling (or at least very hot) water - CAREFULLY!!! - then inserting the gun wrapped in either a bag or clingfilm to adjust it to size then plung the whole thing into cold water to re-set the plastic (hence the bag/cling film).1 point -

DEF reacted to Colonel Kurtz for a topic
Recently I had a good stealthy kill-streak through The Mall and managed to sneak in a shop full of opp players through the entrance they were using. Out the corner of my eye I saw someone facing more in my direction than out the shop doors like the rest so I quickly turned and sprayed some bb's at him as he turned and did the same. Turns out it was one those pillars with a mirror on it and my own reflection. The noise quickly alerted the opp who turned round and gave me a proper peppering as i was standing there thinking 'doh' (if i'd not paused to 'doh' I could have got 1 or 2 first, or ducked away, but I just stood there thinking 'what a wally', which made me more of a wally)1 point -

Lozart reacted to Randymanpipe for a topic
Must admit I was fooked come 4pm, I did find myself walking a lot rather than running back to/from spawn. I'll leave all that to the young'ns I did find it chaotic to start, nobody really worked together. Not much communication, but in the last hour or so I stumbled on some more senior players who worked a bit more tactically and methodically, seemed to make a lot more progress working in a squad. I guess I'll just need to pick the players I follow into battle a bit more carefully next time!1 point -

I was at the malls, half the team were pinned by fire from one of the shops so I heroically stormed to the side of the shop front, prepped a flashbang and promptly threw it into some camo netting hanging 12" in front of me. I laughed, the marshal right opposite me laughed, it went bang and I went deaf. Good times.1 point

Petition to get the UK government to relax laws on airsoft
DEF reacted to BrightCandle for a topic
Well seeing as how currently I can't even see the contents of the petition I am not going to be signing anything. Other than removing the UKARA requirement what else would airsofters possibly want? To walk the streets with the RIFs in hand? For children to have access to RIFs? About the only thing I think is worth removing is the UKARA requirement from RIF purchases but honestly its a minor inconvience nothing more. You wont find me voting for children to be buying IFs and RIFs, they are dangerous if not treated with appropriate caution and frankly I think that ought to push an amount of adult supervision at all times, in the same way I think any firearm ought to involve an adult when being handled by youngsters. But the contents of the petition isn't clear (just a link to the vote, seriously you got 4 other people to sign it without seeing the wording?) so I'll wait until I can see what it is your asking for.1 point -
