He plays one in his videos, for share-like-subscribes. That normalises caddishness, and encourages others to play that way because they've seen it done and bragged about with (up to now) no consequences. And that's the problem, not what he's actually like in the safe zone or the pub.5 points -
There is a very definite "persona" to a lot of YT players and I think he suffers from having built a persona that doesn't necessarily match his actual personality.4 points

One thing I have learnt from playing along side come youtubers is how much their footage is cut and edited to gain the likes and shares. I could name a few scenarios where things didn't pan out exactly how they are perceived on videos. I don't agree with taking headshots when full body is on display but I will play devils advocate and mention that what the camera see's and what the scope sees can vary slightly so could account for SOME shots but in the case of his videos (and I'm not expert) but having such a low profile camera directly on top of the objective lens it would be very hard to use that as a defense. Having had conversations with him more recently he is a fairly nice and approachable chap (which I wouldn't have said a year or two ago). Its difficult because in one respect I agree with some of the stuff he's said but on the other hand I don't agree with majority of his play style, but then as people have mentioned before there are plenty of people like that in varying different hobbies.4 points -
No one would watch average joe's average airsoft games. Youtubers create controversial content on purpose. Look at this thread, we are talking about a video, that's exactly what they are going for. They are not like that in real life, the audience, you form them to what you want to see. So I think it's not the youtubers who influence the players to be like that, it's the other way around. Mustang moves crosshairs to the head, chooses titles and thumbnails that can be triggering, etc because that's what people want. Even the ones hating him. He's very good at creating good content from normal game days.3 points

Oh I don't deny that there are some shots that he could quite easily have got a body hit. I don't think I was defending him in that respect and I don't agree with taking headshots when a full body is on display but I will say and coming from a person that generally only wears shooting glasses and has had a tooth knocked out by a face shot, if you don't want that to happen regardless of who is shooting you...wear full face. If you choose to play without it, I'm not sure what you expect to happen. Myself included. Online persona's are a funny thing. I think when you have a huge online following you either ignore the criticism, take it on board and have a decent conversation with healthy debate or go whole hog and berate people to within an inch of their life, this seems to be the latter. this is my biggest issue with youtubers....monkey see monkey do... Don't get me wrong here folks I'm not defending the guy outright, just saying my personal opinion which was much the same as the vast majority at one point but I do think there is a bit more to it than meets the eye, drama is content after all! sometimes I see stuff happen within the community and wonder if we'd all be better off watching some brain melting reality tv program3 points -

He chooses head shots when body shots are available then uses the mantra of snowflakes don't play airsoft. Then his little kiddy followers back him up. If you can only take a headshot go for it, but if you can aim for the body and hit, don't be a cunt. And in his latest video he calls out cheaters not taking their hits. Then couldn't take a hit himself when a Marshall called it out. Had to play back blurred footage to prove himself right. Such a dick.3 points -

i'm not saying that skipping full face isn't a risk, i have a right shiner on my cheek at the moment testament to that, although i've been lucky enough to keep all my teeth thus far (although i've seen it happen to mates). it's just a case of regardless of what some is or isn't wearing on their face, shooting there intentionally when you have a choice is a dick move that shouldn't be encouraged, to do so "in the name of airsoft justice" doubly so.2 points -

Oh he did this to me as well on FB - I called him out for some of his actions then he started to bring up my personal politics, as if that had anything to do with the price of fish. Pure distraction arguments. I get the overriding impression hes not too bright.2 points -

Well I have had a roller coaster of a day. First the Bad: I was doing a regular cleaning of the Striker and suddenly PING off goes one of the screws into the depths to my pit room. I took 2 hours, lots of swearing, a dill and pulling up floorboards before I found the f’ing thing. I really need to get a magnetic mat. Now the Good: After a little light perusing of the internet I found a series of triggers again for the Striker (no your obsessed) and after invoking many deities over a bloody screw I managed to get this fitted and I quiet like it. So, positives I guess.2 points -

And goes out of bounds and edits his 'footage' to make himself look good. I was at a game with him on my team last year at Urban Assault before it closed and he put game footage up of it of him clearing a building which was empty all day long....his footage also jumped all over the site, so he would have shots of himself in one position then getting a kill somewhere 200m away..... He's a toxic cockwomble who needs a good fucking kicking and hopefully will go the way of his predecessor MattTheTwat by leaving the sport. He basically seeks drama all the time to up his YT count and breaks the number 1 rule of airsoft all the time - dont be a cunt2 points -

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
GothicGhost reacted to paradoxum for a topic
Came on monday; I got some gas today and after filling it I can hear it hissing out the fill valve. it's slow and quiet but if I stick my ear near I can hear it clearly - rather than returning for a replacement and such would just getting a replacement valve work? I did a quick search on patrolbase and saw that they aren't exactly standardized; https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/baal-gas-filling-valve-for-we-kj-gbb-series / https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-kwa-magazine-bottom-fill-valve - I'll screw the valve out later and wrap the thread in plumbing tape and then try it, also will take a pic of what it looks like - but don't suppose anyone has an answer to this offhand? Thanks. By the way what's the point in the space for 2 extra shells in the cylinder below the barrel? to get them out you have to unscrew this cap on the end which takes about 30 seconds, and it seems to be literally just for storing 2 shells because it doesn't load a new one in or anything. Anyone know how to switch from 3 shot to 6 or back etc? I saw how in a youtube vid a while ago but I can't find the one that shows how again. Thanks in advance. Edit: Valve pics. I wrapped the thread in plumbing tape and put it back in tight, filled it up, can still hear a hissing coming from the valve although not as bad as before. based on what the valve looks like can anyone point me to where I can find a suitable replacement? it looks pretty standard to me and as long as it fits into the stock on the gun I don't see much of a problem with regards to compatability(?). https://imgur.com/a/BtxfqL81 point -

My G&P m4 has that feature, however the recoil is so heavy it normally unlock it itself. The Daytona guns are well worth their money and time spent though, hell of a lot of fun and noise!!1 point -

GHK AKMS (upgraded) with 5 MAGS
Sawyer reacted to EvilMonkee for an advert
As a GHK devotee I can help with these. @Sawyer 1. Its will either be the spring in the mag follower that pushes up into the gun not being strong enough or the disconnector in the gun itself, its usually the mag. In either case its not a big issue and replacement springs are readily available from Samoon. 2. I use a 1J nozzle in mine but beware it can still go hotter even with a 1J nozzle. I have 3 nozzles - the high power for winter, the 1J and a low power nozzle that apprently does 0.8J but I havent tried it. Oh and this is a good deal. The ML hop unit is excellent and 5 mags is around £300 on its own...... The Crazy Jet barrel is a bit odd and not what I would put in there, but it will be fine.1 point -

I really fancy a daytona gun, needs to be one with bolt stop though for me. Vortex Crossfire red dots are excellent for the price.1 point -
Ah, but Licking Mustard is Super Delta SAS Ranger Elite, he can guide his BBs on target with Operator Telepathy. And the issue we're discussing is him taking deliberate face shots (with whatever depleted uranium style sniper BBs he's slinging) and holding that up as an exemplar of what to do if you think someone isn't taking hits. It's the latter part that I have a problem with. He's a toxic player for many reasons, and I don't want people emulating his out-of-bounds, inside-MED, spawn-camping, face-shooting, I-hit-you-but-you-never-hit-me ego driven grumpiness. Since he's been bragging about this stuff for a while, it's long since past time that sites told him that he's no longer welcome.1 point

Sometimes while watching these YouTube airsofters, I feel like I'm the only one who plays at a site/in a manner which deems full-auto up close to be poor etiquette!? To then make the amount of pain you've brought someone by doing this your video title, definitely sets the wrong tone. KM sprayed someone in the face with a Master Mike from literally a metre or two. He went on to claim it was an accident but it was something which was likely to happen when you blind/pre-fire corners with a grenade launcher at head height.1 point -

To be honest, I don't agree with whinging about being shot in the face. We don't use accurate guns, not even the sniper rifles are. Don't want to bleed from the chops? Wear full face or stfu. Banning people for headshots is, on the face of it, daft, but really he's been banned for breaching the waiver.1 point

WE L85A2 (Gas blowback rifle)
EvilMonkee reacted to CORD360 for a topic
I realize this is an old thread but I had just recently acquired the WE L85 GBB and am very happy with it. It came with the standard handguard and I changed it to a Madbull Daniel Defence rail - this is a used one from an ICS AEG. The adaptor needs to be modified so that is fits the WE L85. Also changed the iron sights to a G&G SUSAT and the mount needed to be shimmed as indicated in the earlier posts above. Would recommend this airsoft rifle just for the 'fun' factor WE_L85_GBB_Rail_Install_(05).mp4 WE_L85_GBB_Rail_Install_(06).mp41 point
