I learnt yesterday that people with LMG's will not follow the sites 1 second burst rule in anyway shape of form.

Finally arrived well happy

Pull the pin then sit on it. Report back with findings.

To be honest I don't get rules like that. Either allow LMGs or don't. The whole point of a support gun is continuous suppressive fire. If you're not allowed to do that then why even bother?

Always happens, never figured out why some people would want to pay £35 to stand in a corridor to tell the people with some nuts that the enemy is down the other end of the corridor.Dont believe in dying for the greater good but I am a firm believer in making the enemy die for the greater good.

Buy a Krytac,spare mag, 2x lipos and a imax b6 charger. Then use it to shoot that jbbguns useless crap to pieces.

Well iv been playing now for around 3 months. And during that time myself and my bro have frequented ucap bunker. (For those who have not played it, 350fps limit and full ato everywhere, with all dark tunnels) Today we traved to the mall, an hour and a bit away. Every one raves about it so we decided to check it out....... Oh my, its bloody amazing!!! Very well marshelled, great games, exellent team spirit from the players on our team. 112 players today all in all and didnt feel crowded atal. The site is very very playable. I now see what all the fuss is about. We will defo be back on the regular! For any noobs who havnt been, it really is worth a trip.

Lol, sounds like I would need to run this patch upon my first visit

It does happen everywhere but I do think the mall sometimes attracts the idiots more than most.I think the chavs are attracted to it because its running round a shopping centre which is their natural habitat. Just be glad theres not a McDonald's in there or it would be over ran by people wearing airmax trainers. You also get the odd visiting blowhards that take things a bit too serious for how the mall runs. Most of the more regular players are usually a good bunch of people though.

It's true. The body wash is quite often vaunted as an effective tick and flea preventative for dogs. Makes you wonder what the hell's in it!

I love my fast helmet, and the mesh i rigged on the front too lol Wish i had known what would be comfortable on my face when i started, that has been the biggest hurdle for me

There's no 'rank structure' in airsoft, it's grown men and teenagers shooting at each other with BB guns for fun. As for awarding yourself a couple of stripes.... get a grip, rank in the military (in most branches at least) is EARNED with hard work and merit, not simply having been round the block a few times. Imagine how much of a tit you'd look if someone recognised the unit badge and rank slide and asked "oh, you're in 2 para, do you know L/Cpl Smith, his mates call him Smudge?" and you have to reply "sorry mate, just thought I'd give myself a couple of stripes since I think I've got some leadership skills".

Buy a G&G, best of both worlds you get a new gun and experience on fixing and upgrading everytime it breaks. ☺

Told ya SD king of crap guns. 😂

Smoke grenades. Two is one. One is none

G&P look good but have been put off them. One of the guys who plays at our milsim had one crack on him due to brittleness of the metal. Would go Krytac or ERG

A lot of people make that mistake.

This isn't a myth peddled by the avon sales reps is it - like when the Cif stand in Aldi told me that Cif by the pallet load could also de-spider your garden, and leave it smelling lemon-fresh to boot?

Some kind of embalming fluid!?

Yep, the actual issue is overkilling anyway. Who cares if you are shooting nothing or someone not taking their hits for 5 seconds?

Hahaha I don't know the team name or individuals but it got so bad that almost half of the blue side went home at lunch I do remember one of the red side was wearing black & another was in an almost PMC loadout, these were the guys who refused to acknowledge my hits even when they were a blatant 50/50 Plus both my rifles were playing up in all morning with misfires but were fine in the afternoon

Oooooh, I love a good bitchfest, name names!

How true is that :/ Related learning point: if someone is new to sniping with a high fps set up they likely won't know what 30 metres is for their minimum engagement distance. Expect some very painful hits from very close ranges. Learnt this from experience when a young lad (~13 years old) shot me in the head from 10 metres away. After I stopped cursing a marshal was informed and the lad had to ditch his rifle when he couldn't prove that he knew what 30 metres was. He was disappointed but the safety rules are there for a reason.

Things I wish that I'd of known.... 1)How useless mesh masks are. they may protect your teeth but restrict you from looking down the sights as you would normally which really ruins the day for me (no longer use anything, looking into dust masks but I reckon those may also be a hindrance). 2)how serious some people take it and also how big it is, like full on international mil sims lasting a few days/week. 3)Avon skin so soft face cream. Anyone who plays in woods will understand. 4)which shops to give a wide berth and which sites offer the best gameplay for your money and location. 5)most importantly, especially for new players - talk to as many people as you want, have fun, go solo and sniper, follow a highly regarded team and learn/tag along, try anything you wish, don't feel you have to conform to the rest as they're not always the best.

Ladies & Gents, as it has been suggested by several people and requested several times recently, I have decided to create a new Quick Questions thread. We have two threads previously like this, but I've decided to make a new one with a little more structure. When you ask a question please do so using red writing that way, it's easy for people scrolling down to find a question. When you answer a question, please quote (this will make sure the person gets a notification and they can click on it to open your answer straight away and it also lets people answer questions from a while ago if there have been new questions since then) the question and reply in blue writing so we know it's an answer. If you feel a question simply cannot be answered in one brief post, or is open for a lot of debate, create a thread to discuss it, and link the thread in your answer so everyone can find it. This should keep it clear what's what. Thread will be periodically preened and cleaned, and I may, if the whim takes me, create a section in this post with all the questions and the best answers in expandable boxes so everyone can see them forever and ever and ever. If your question or answer don't follow the requested template, I will either fix them if I like you, or delete them if I don't because no-one should have any difficulty getting it right after the first couple of attempts. Here's an example of how I want this to look: ====================================================================== Hi everyone, what am best gnu? ====================================================================== Best gnu am banana. ====================================================================== Go wild kids.

So Iv been looking at the umarex mp7 aeg as it's only 110 quid on airsoft world.net and 6 100rd mags are 44 quid. That's a whole loadout for 155 quid and I love the mp7. However it's only stated as having 240fps and I'm not sure how that's going to fair as I haven't used a gun that low before. It's for indoor cqb 50 foot max engagement at the most (maybe less). Any experience with this gun and would you recommend?

Motor= Lonex titan Hop up= Prowin Mosfet=Gate nano asr Barrel=Prommy or Pdi Gearbox= lonex prebuilt gearbox. But that will cost almost as much as a new gun. You can build on a budget but I am not the best person to ask about that as I always go straight for the higher end stuff.

Unfortunately mine is semi only seen a few videos on YouTube of early full auto models, the back end blows off!

I want that patch so bad. Where do you get it?

Krytac crb or spr, look on Patrolbases website.

G&P? or a PTS ERG is my first thought

I have to agree with the genral attitude. I think that rank and badges should stay out of airsoft unless its an ex forces player wearing their own badges. If you think you have millitary leadership skill go sign up. I had a great chat this weekend with a player as we joked about how unfit we where. Its a sport with toy guns that utilises camo clothes (not that it makes you invisible in the slightest in cqb sites) Other than that we arnt soldiers and so dont need ranks and regimental badges. If im totally honest if some random 20odd year old with a high millitary rank badge turns to me and attempts to give me orders as he thinks he has leadership value, id tell him to fuck off!

Avon cream repels ticks & mosquitos from what I've been told so I've ordered a bottle I've been playing nearly a year now but yesterday was the worse case of non hit taking that I've ever been involved in, I was on the blue team & I'm glad I wasn't associated with playing on the red team

They were $280 for the Stoner, which had only about 100 rounds through it; there was one on AFUK for around £300. The AK was a real steal for about $160, as it needs a new cylinder head and the guy who had it had zero tech experience. So yea, it's going well

I saw yesterday how SOME teams can be right wankers & not take there hits when you hit them numerous times because they think there above everyone else & hate it when you show them up

I enjoy playing at the mall and had some great days there, but just a shame a couple of idiots spoiled it for me in the morning session but the afternoon went well

Steady on meow.

I wouldn't as the umarex aeg is full size so no other mags will fit. Only mag you can use is the one that comes with it. No mags are produced as of yet for it. And I know as I bought one. Can't get mags get a tm one instead. Or if you have cash a vfc gbb one.

you ain't wasted much time stateside annoying thing is bet they were a lot cheaper over there than this side of pond nice collection - ready for most sites it seems

Should try it when there is only about 25 people in there, thats really good because you can explore easier.

First game. Having clear face shot for at least half a minute on a "leetsofter", but he has minimalist goggles and I'm at a few meters distance, and shouting bang he would not know who it was and I'd get lit up by his mates. End up with him eventually spotting me and lit me up with a hot gun.... that sucked If you can only hit the face, do it and don't apologise or feel bad*. It's an action sport and anyone who played more than one game have made a concious discussion not to protect their face. *Unless their eyes are unprotected, then making sure they are not fired at and informing the player so it can be corrected is the highest. Even if you have to call a hit or pause the game. Even if you would shoot someone in the eye, don't feel bad about it - it is an action sport, accidents happens and it's not your fault unless you did it deliberately.

clear shot at group of enemies from hard to reach great hiding place.. except a marshal in the line of fire... when he moves my safety is on, when safety is off my battery is out, when secondary is drawn the gas is out, when I swapped mag I'm discovered <.< ...I think my gears stripped later that day as well

Tropic Thunder. Sorry... I'll get my coat...

For me airsoft is just an action sport, everything in my kit is either useful in airsoft or fun. But to those who like to copy the uniforms of various military, it is more of a roleplay/re-enactment really. As long as they do not pretend to be something they are not when they are out of character, ea. not roleplaying, I personally really don't see that there is any issues. After all, we do this in video games all the time. I know a lot of people disagree* and I know some people can get pretty emotional about this, so it is to you to make up your mind how you feel about it and weather you feel that you can stand your ground or not. Oh, you might be kicked (banned?) of a site if you wear something offensive. Never heard about this happening, but some sites does have rules about using appropriate language due to kids being present. *Wont take that discussion in this thread. You are entitled to your opinion.

Biggest disappointment? My children. Barring that; the WE pistols I bought.

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.

Here is my cm16 raider L not as good as the rest of the guns on here but its a start when i have some more money i am going to put a foregrip and some rail covers on it.

I couldn't care less if there were U18 players younger than me at skirmishes. As long as they don't turn up in jeans with the latest JBBG special and don't act like a weapons expert because they played Call of Duty, I don't mind. That and following the rules correctly and refraining from blind firing, that is
