Played at Edinburgh airsoft on sunday and they don't allow recording if people are going to clip their videos to make them look amazing or just put cheaters up. Obviously hard to prove etc but interesting that they try to mandate that at the brief.

I wanted to make it look a bit futuristic-esque and I think I managed it pretty well. Constructive criticism/feedback aside, I beleive people should embrace difference 😁

When I go to Gunman games I usually ask not to be photographed as I am serving military. Not cos I do a super secret squirrel job but cos I don't want the piss ripped LOL. Thats one of the few sites that I have heard that actively mention it.

One of his vids popped up on my feed and I initially thought it was a Licking Turd video. Shame. Don't bother. The trouble with arguing with idiots is they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Or alternatively (and in bad taste) arguing on the internet is like the Paralympics, even if you win you are still........ I just automatically report his videos now when they somehow creep into my YT feed.

Aaand I've just unsubbed from the otherwise excellent Bad Influence Airsoft because he posted a clickbait CHEETAR video. You don't need to adduce statistical evidence that showcasing being a Dark Knight Punishertm normalises and promotes that behaviour in others.

To be honest, I think it's fine until you get to the cookie cutter flash hider, that lets it down, looks like an over-exaggerated bellend, chuck an unusual suppressor etc on it & it would be transformed.

I may have one in my parts bin. I’m at work at the min but I’ll let you know if I have one once I’m home.

This looks like it has incredible range... it does not.

Get yourself an osprey suppressor, will suit that nice

If it ‘adversely’ affects your reputation, then you could

But how do you HK slap it!?

Please tell me that it was an exercise in "how much shit can I put on it" ?..........if that was the case, well done/good job. But if that's your idea of "ready to skirmish", you've created a monster, a fuckin fugly monster 😲

That, foregrip looks familiar - looks ace m8!

I swear I'm done fiddling with the externals..... Honest!

Eh, I just LARP this stuff online based on reading statute and case law for giggles, I don't even do it as a part of my day job any more. My understanding is that absent eliciting information about members of armed forces, police officers or the intelligence services which is likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, privacy is a civil matter cobbled together from the Human Rights Act 1988 (which only applies to public bodies) and prior and subsequent common (judge-made) law which has been influenced by the HRA and ECHR. The cases that turn up are mostly cause célèbres rather than Joe Public. Despite many broken promises, privacy expectations between private individuals hasn't been codified in statute law yet. tl;dr version - you won't know if you have a case unless and until you get it before a court. One thing I would mention is that the distinction between public and private places is also blurred. Any place to which the public enjoy a general right of access can be considered public. In Scotchland in particular, with right to roam, this makes pretty much every outdoors airsoft site a public place, in which you should have no expectation of privacy.

Photography & videos have legal implications but are not widely understood A blanket waiver giving permission would not help - but including information in the waiver that photography may take place is a start (though may not be read) and a mention in briefs etc They give the option for individuals to object - for piss taking defences, just because you don’t want it, or you may have protection issues. Legally I can take your photo in a public place, I can publish it online (social media, general internet etc), I can sell the photo - but I cannot make “commercial use” of the photo without your permission. (If you sign off permission then I can use it commercially in many ways that you may not have thought of) A site is a private place rather than a public place, so I need some form of permission to take photos - I could just take photos unless I’m told not to, I could be representing the site, I could be official/recognised media, I could be just some bloke taking photos of a fun day out

You can get them from Firesupport.co.uk but they appear out of stock. A quick google and the only places I could see were from Redwolf Airsoft in HK and this ebay seller has them (Disclaimer: I haven't bought from him so cannot confirm if correct or not) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminum-Adapter-Ring-for-Marui-M4-MWS-Airsoft-GBBR-/113234367456

Did over hear some kids on sunday going on about nov's pistol. Clearly big fans of his. To the point that any silent nbb pistol on site must be his ssg ssx? Or whatever its called. Even though it was definately a mk23 of unknown brand... was kinda funny. If your gonna drool over youtube advertising at least be able to recognise the gear in person. But i guess thats how he lines his pockets

What do I look for in a blog? Somewhere that will cover gear, RiFs, be authentic and totally honest. Somewhere like here: https://thegearconfessional.wordpress.com/

Advertised as an Emerson JPC. If so, I think I did rather well for what I paid.

I have some sad news... Spoke to an old friend of mine yesterday and we always used to love the look of airsoft but never actually went (I started going after falling out of contact with him). After a bit of catching up he mentioned that him and his brother and all their mates have since got into paintball... F 😥 Made sure to tell him it was the lesser sport. He also mentioned about how much kit they had all bought during which he said something along the lines of "spent £1,500 on paintballs between us" and IIRC that got them around 17,500 balls... If ever we needed a better argument for airsoft 😂

I think all of his video’s have been taken down from YouTube. Not sure if they’re stored anywhere else.

Well I have a nice project to work on!! A while ago I bought the front end of the Angry Gun John Wick conversion for the TM MWS off a forum member that had bought the full set to replace his upper that he broke. I had every intention of buying another TM MWS to build it into a DMR but never got round to it. Well about a week ago, I received an email from him stating he was giving up Airsoft and did I want to buy the rest of the JW kit plus the donor MWS. Well I jumped at the chance. For the same price of a new MWS I got an unused MWS, the John Wick/Tarran Tactical kit, Prometheus Barrel, TM Tracer Unit plus extras such as SixG Nub, Modify Tan bucking, tools etc. I am going to build it into a DMR that mirrors the Tarran Tactical TR1. As can be seen it is essentially in kit form so I will be l learning a lot more about the inner workings of the MWS in intimate detail!! At least I have my other MWS to use as a reference 😳

Pew bois with boom stick launchers!
