Some reed camo body armour made by npo-sm. It's 9mm rated. I believe this is 90's and was used by Russian police. I am still researching it. I think the model is SHUL but don't quote me on that, barely any info on this. It's comfy though. It has soft plates in and is GOST R 50744-95 rated.2 points -
Se Tour Review: Thg - Ruckus 2.0 - Tilmanstone Works (Kent)
PureSilver and one other reacted to Asomodai for a topic
Site Name: Tilmanstone Works Contact details: N/A Website Address: (1) The Heresy Group - YouTube Facebook Page: The Heresy Group | Facebook Site Address: Tilmanstone Works Pike Rd, Eythorne, Dover, CT15 4ND A slightly different one this time around! I heard about The Heresy Groups "Ruckus 2.0" from a friend. THG hire out places that are not used as Airsoft sites on a regular basis, which introduces some interesting places. Coming into the Airsoft scene too late to enjoy UCAP Sandpit, I was quite eager to check out a full blown Quarry. The closest thing myself and @Albiscuithave played at being Imperium which has some Quarry sections. Tilmanstone Works is a largish outdoor site, most of which is an active Quarry, interspersed by Quarry hardware (Stone blocks, shipping containers, rusted out vehicles. There is plenty of elevation as well as a small valley of woodland vegetation. There are some very open areas, but there are always sections you can move through with more cover. The elevation itself can be used as cover. There are sections for short, medium and long distance engagements. So myself Albiscuit and 4 others decided to make our way on a sunny if windy day on 25/05/2021. Good: Playing Area: Very very good. We had reservations about the site being too open and somewhat boring, but were completely unfounded. An active quarry is both somewhat bleak, exposed and interesting at the same time. As mentioned in the intro, there is lots of elevation that can be used to both expose the opposing team, but also hide behind. There are lots of ditches, some woodland outcrops, concrete barriers, shipping containers and vehicles to hide behind. But in some areas it's open warfare with expanses of flat ground. If you are relatively fit, you can take advantage of the more esoteric approaches which can be ankle breaking if you're not careful, but can be utterly rewarding. Clientele: There was a large turnout, no problems with the clientele, heard very little to no grumbling throughout the day. A sense of comradery and people who were just happy to play something as unique as this place . Hit taking: Was very good. No complaints heard. Turn around time: There was little in the way of breaks. There were 4 different games and lunch. We didn't feel short changed. Marshalling: Very good, plenty of people around who encouraged people to get back out there from the spawn points. Safety Brief: Perfectly fine, covered everything, they had a physical representation of the blast radius of pyro which was helpful. There were no noobies for the day, so it was tailored towards experienced players. Chrono: Everyone's primaries were chronoed at the beginning of the day. 370 FPS for AEGs, 450 FPS for DMR and 500 FPS for BAR's. The players own BB weight for the day was used and rifles tagged. Value: Β£30, for something as unique as it is, I felt it was good value. Car Park/Entrance: Directions were easy to follow. The gates shut at 9:30, and there was a reception at the gate to take the money and sign in. The Car Park was based inside earth mounds with an auxiliary car park just outside that was more open to the elements. Shop: Multiple shops were on site including CamoRaids, Valkyrie BB's and a night vision for hire stand (Despite it not being a night game), it's more for promotion purposes. Raffle: Everyone likes a raffle, there was a free one for everyone as part of your entry fee. Two of the six of us even managed to win! Average: Game Modes/Brief: Not the typical attack and defend. There was a capture the flag game and a VIP game. There was a free for all at the end of the day, stages with the winners moving into the finals. It would have been good to know that we needed mobile phones to take photos of the VIP with other players on your team before we went out to the spawn point. I felt this sort of game is better suited to CQB sites like the Mall rather then something at an outdoor quarry. Bad: Safe Zone: It's not a true site, so there is no cover and everyone sets up from their cars. Toilets: No on-site facilities; was recommended to bring Wet Wipes ahead of time. Food: No food on-site; was recommended to bring our own ahead of time. COVID awareness: I didn't hear much if anything mentioned about social distancing or COVID awareness. There was no mask wearing in the safe zone. Also there was no pre-booking, so no control over numbers that could show up. Conclusion: We loved the day. We were very surprised in how good the playing area was and was utterly refreshing to play at over the usual outdoor site. We wish this was a proper full blown regular site and may be one we visit often despite the distance. We heard one guy had travelled all the way from Lincolnshire to play! A word of warning, you wont be washing your clothes after the day as much as beating them with a broom to get the dust out! We cant wait for Ruckus 3.0 and hope it will align with our schedules! What would be a great addition would be working Technical/Vehicles, if this could happen it would be amazing. The Heresy Group have run a very successful day despite the high winds and can be proud of themselves from that perspective. Very little has to improve if this continues to be a once in a while skirmish. Though having a pre-booking system in times of Covid would make me feel much better for turning up. Bullpup Watch: Very few; an SVU... I don't remember much else. Very little variance from M4 styles. Best Guess Map:2 points -
The 'What have you just bought' Thread
PopRocket123 and one other reacted to SSPKali for a topic
Small purchase but a great mod / upgrade if you frequent dark CQB sites. 2mm x 6mm green Tritium vial from https://www.iceatope.co.uk/ that cost about Β£8 posted and a drop of super glue onto the front sight of my Cyma CM041 MP-5. Green is the brightest so probably the one to go for, it won't do anything in daylight like a fibre optic one would but then you can see where the BBs are going! I added one to my shotty a few years ago and really helped getting faster shots on target in dark rooms / sites. That front sight wasn't protected like the MP-5 so it did get smashed at CHD when it was kicking about the FOB for a weekend.2 points -
Why Mouthguards for Only the Top Teeth?
EDcase and one other reacted to Supermoose for a topic
Naturally your top teeth slightly overlap your bottom teeth so the mouth guard provides protection in front of your bottom, mothguards a mostly designed for impacts like punches and things with a larger surface area than a bb. The impact would hit your top lip before your bottom. They also stop your teeth from smashing together in the event of an impact, you can get bottom row guards as well but id imagine it would make it a bit harder to breath If your worried about lower protection a face mask is probably your best bet.2 points -
Soldering is easy. If you struggle with it then you are doing something wrong or failing to understand the solder you are using. Soldering the easy way: Buy a cheap soldering iron that has a temp control. Β£20 on ali express. Get solder that has a low melting point. Forget lead free, some 60/40 or 63/37 is perfect for electronics. Get some flux. Colophony 20g tins can be had on ebay for like Β£2. Set the soldering iron to be slightly over the melting point of the solder. 60/40 melts at 188C so set the iron for 200C. 63/37 melts at 183C set the iron to 195C. Clean your parts - Acetone or isopropanol and make sure you remove any grease. Get to temp - Dip in flux - Tin soldering iron. Dip in flux - heat part - Add solder. Work in halves. So tin the wire, then tin the part. Then heat the part and bring the wire to it and melt together. After soldering is complete clean with some isopropanol. Simple as that. If you work quickly and know exactly what you are working with it's just getting the hang of repeating yourself over and over.2 points

Cunning or Cheating?
Cheeky vimto and one other reacted to Cyberlawyer for a topic
Personally I totally agree with the players that complained to the Marshals and believe this should be dealt with in the strongest possible terms. Why do I feel so strongly on this issue, Two reasons: First itβs a matter of player safety. If a player is allowed to get away with this behaviour then the only realistic way for the enemy team to react is to treat everyone doing the βdead mans walkβ as a live player and open fire. This is going to lead to massive over shooting/over killing on the poor sods who are genuinely βdeadβ and actually making the slog back to the safe zone/respawn. Yes there is an argument that dead players should have pistols holstered and hand/rifle in the air, but the reality is this only happens until they have withdrawn from the firefight that killed them and is impractical if the terrain is even moderately uneven and the respawn is more than about 50 yards away, particularly on larger sites where there can be multiple engagements between where a player βdiedβ and the respawn. Secondly, it is completely unrealistic and against the spirit of the game in an honesty based system that is intended to mimic engagements with firearms. It is not being clever or sneaky it is just as dishonest as players who donβt take their hits, in fact more so as there is no possible argument that the offending player may not have felt a BB at the end of its range that hits a bit of gear. It is straight out gaming the mechanics of the system.2 points -

With a little bending you can get them to contour properly with those goggles with out reprofiling the edge giving a little extra nose space. Also very easy to cable tie the mask to the goggles to reduce the gap and you have less straps to faf around with.1 point

As long as the eyes are protected itβs personally choice. I would rather have my eye pro snug to my face though as a bb did manage to get in a tiny tiny gap at the bottom after ricocheting up off my chest1 point

Well serves you right for reading this thread lol What are your plans for the CQBR? The strange results with the TM nozzle are more than likely down to the wear on the front end of the nozzle... I would expect each shot to drop by an FPS or 2 simply due to the reduction in the volume of gas and hence less pressure in the mag. The erratic behaviour implies there is as compression issue that's for sure.... Also make sure the sealing buffer (the rubber washer) is properly lubed up each time you take the bolt apart...1 point

Pretty much done. Need to figure out how to remove the front post so I can fit tritium suppressor sights. Requires M&P9 front post and G17 rear according to RWA. In the mean time, Iβm going to look for wide head m2.5x8mm screws for the RMR.1 point -

Euergh.... I thankfully havent had anything other than a bruised ego from tripping. But I remember one guy went over and into some metal barrels whilst running. Story is marshals were dealing with him as he really hurt his leg and was in a lot of pain and one of them said his knee pad had slipped to the underside of his leg to which the player responded through clenched teeth "im not wearing kneepads", turns out it was his kneecap. OUCH1 point

My worst one seems mild to all of these. I was charging a position and took a BB right in the gob, hit the back of my throat and had me gagging and coughing all day after. Made eating and drinking a pain for a few days after. Now always have face pro as dont want that experience again.1 point

I ran up a basement stairwell into an open large CQB area with mock walls. Barrels blazing. All gun ho. Not watching where I was running. Head look on one direction. Feet running in another. Then wallop. Straight into a wooden wall. I hit it at speed and bounced off it. The marshal came running over to make sure I was ok. He did ask if Iβd filled out a waiver though. That was quite thoughtful of him!!! I did sit out for 15 mins or so to get my head back on straight lol. Looking back it was well funny. Lol1 point
