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.

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)

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.

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.

I thought it was a good site. It's a woodland site but the vast majority of it is covered in what I think are rhododendron bushes that the marshals have cut paths though with chainsaws as they are impassable. All the bushes make it primarily CQB, although there are some open areas around the edge of the site. The games were typical stuff like capture the flag or move object to given location. There was a game where you had to hold the button on a bomb placed in the middle of an open area to arm it. I found that because the cover was foliage it meant people can hide in it which made for much more tense battles, sometimes you would find it took multiple people getting shot to figure out where someone was. Facilities wise the site is down a savagely potholed road which leads to a small car park. When we went they said they sometimes have 100 people which was surprising given the car park and safe zone were packed with just over 20 of us. Lunch is not provided so you need to bring your own, if it's changed to Sandpit style lunches I would still bring your own Overall I thought it was a good site, only downside was a good half of our team would barely move from our spawn or block lanes. It happens but teams should have really been reshuffled after a game or two. There was also some quite bad hit taking, I raised it with marshals but it didn't change.

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!

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...

^ Pretty sure every airsofter's loft has an unwise purchase sat in it somewhere! I have two B500A1...

OMGonads, too sexy!

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.....

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.

I know that staircase. When I first started playing there I was going down the corridor when some started shooting at me and I jumped sideways into what I thought was an alcove but it was that staircase.Got quite aways down before I even hit a step. Wasn't the nicest experience in the world.

Can't go wrong with any tm.

I wouldn't go past http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk They only supply TM pistols, anything from a standard pistol to £3k worth. Mike cripps who owns the company is fantastic and the customer service is second to none. I got a modified TM hi capa from him and everyone who's used it says it's the best pistol they've shot.

picked these up just now. Absoloute hell cycling to the othet end of Lviv in 35 degree heat. Not the only ones,others were for m8s and not airsoft releated. Cost about 10 UAH for production,and 10 UAH for the velcro. About 80 cents per patch,as they already had the vectors for them

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)

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!

A little disrespectful on the dead but... Just watch "As above, so below" and had this idea. Paris Catacombs

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.

Went in yesterday (04/08/15) came out with a red dot acog, a bag of 5000 bb's & a full face mask for my sons, the whole lot would've been close to £100 elsewhere I love going in there, you could get easily lost for hours

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.

Answer on the back of a post card to ....... (Apologies to anyone under 25 who wont know what a post card is or what the hell am on about)

wow had a lot less light when I played there if that is the one where the defenders fall back after being shot to start defending again as attackers push up (walk in the park for tunnel rats attacking btw they are that bloody good....) THAT was the flaw in the game, you fall back in the centre of tunnel to walk back to next point right smack bang into the main line of streams of bb's coming at ya - OUCH getting shot in the back no matter how hard you try to stick to edges of tunnel you have to at some point go around the odd barricade into near centre & F*CK ME OUCH torch and possible back padding or plate carrier mightr be good idea if going to tunnels brill place - top mofo's them rats but a bit " dark & full on " is how I would describe it deffo should be experienced though - just go prepared

Also is same address as OnlyBBGuns 17 Willow Road - Slough iwholesales wanted my inside leg measurement as they don't sell to individuals etc (jeez amount of crap I've bought thought they would want to do business but wtf) spoke to a chap at Only about a RIF as Only do 2-tone - are they ukara retailer ??? and that was a major ball ache and little email response on that enquiry about face to face purchase of RIF So yeah a bit of a weird setup or connection to other companies BUT out of the 3 " BB " sites I do actually still rate Only as the better one still have to be careful about what you buy - there is still some crap on there and from experience forget trying to buy a RIF off them - 2-tone yeah not bad but forget RIF but weird - iwholesales will set you up an account maybe and sell you RIF's OnlyBBGuns sell only 2-tone stuff - no mention of UKARA I think ahhh forget it - I just carry on buying in bulk then

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.
