Clearly you're new here. You're supposed to kick off, arguing with everyone and calling us various names (bonus points for DMing people offering to fight them) before giving up and disappearing off the forum forever.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Can I join properly now please?

Wasn’t expecting this till tomorrow/Friday based on the tracking (good ol’ UPS)... but I’ll take it. Had nothing but regret since selling my previous one, suffice to say I won’t be making that mistake again... probably.

By my maths (and an attempt to navigate the not particularly easy to follow options on DCA) you're not far of the mark as you are. The total of what you've got listed seems to be £1100 give or take (£975 for the upgraded RIF, £125 for the EPMs). Taking the very broad sweeping general advice of 60-70% you at a range of £660-£770. Marui's tend to hold value well and yours looks to be in superb condition based on the photos. For the whole lot I actually think your price is pretty fair (expensive, but not overpriced) and despite varying opinions upgraded Marui's with Titans are desirable (albeit a big 'buyer beware' due to there being a Titan in there and no warranty from the person that installed it). Only thing I might suggest to make the price a bit less eye watering to those that might be interested would be to split the EPMs out. Sell those for £80-£90, and knock that much off the price for the RIF. Food for thought at the very least, I'm sure opinions will vary but as I said in the first paragraph expensive but not overpriced. Edit: Apologies for this grim reminder as to how much this lot cost in the first place.

For sure, if you like throwing mags around and not being able to do that is a deal breaker then that alone is enough for it to not be a good fit for you. I'm honestly not sure that's something different mags would change, they're heavy twats whatever the weather so once you're introducing gravity to that weight chances are something is breaking. I'm sure you're smart enough to know what could prevent that issue specifically, but it seems like frisbee'ing mags around ranks higher in your personal priority of things you want than the things the MWS does offer that your other platforms don't. I'm not convinced you're likely to find a GBBR/GBBSMG (is that abbreviation a thing?) that'll be able to shift that list of priorities, at least not as a 'primary squeeze' but I hope you get some degree of joy from dabbling 🤷‍♂️.

Not sure I say it quite ranks as fanboying (though I am genuinely surprised by the lack of fanboying to convince you that the MWS is fine, and that it is you that is the problem). Just think the opening gambit on the GBLS was poorly worded 'have you taken a look at, it might be your cup of tea' would have likely come across better give the experience/lack thereof. But I must say the entire exchange has been thoroughly entertaining and I hope it continues.

Sounds terrible. Feel free to dispose of it in my garden.

I just saw a site on Facebook having recruitment days for marshals. Full training, "level 3 first aid training", and earn £70 a day plus possible performance related bonuses. It was very tempting to reply with: "Do you want to earn less than a living wage with no guaranteed hours, no job security, no benefits or holidays, all in return for wishing you'd rather be playing while getting earfuls of abuse and moaning off of angry punters for things that other people did?" God bless marshals though, I can't imagine how anyone can stand us. I mean, it.

Haha... Yeah not particularly proud of how much I spent on it considering I barely used it. I did go for around the 70% mark totalling everything, but maybe it was still a little too much. I will keep in mind splitting the mags, but I would imagine someone would definitely want them if they bought the rif. Yeah I'm pretty new here too, never sold a rif before so y'know. Bought quite a lot from this forum though lol. Thanks for the good feedback.

I guess we're not putting that band together then 🤷😂

Hi there, thanks for the feedback, as I was really unsure on where to price this. Could you possibly message me with some constructive assistance?

So basically it’s not been used in over a year and he’s knocked 50quid off the price of buying a new one that actually has a warrantee with it ? OK moving on !

About bloody time too! And yes, we will let you into the pack now.... You know I'm gonna change my mobile number now or better still set up a divert to some Swedish, French, German porn line.. lalalalalalala

Check out where I spaffed on my slider, too much time watching garand thumb videos

I think it will look like this for a little while. you only get one foot in the picture as I’m not feeling generous today groot is to blame for the sling but it’s not bad for the spend

Pretty sure my feedback was basic enough for even you .. but le sigh and without crayons to help you. I DIDN'T LIKE THE TRIGGER PULL... But the one of my PTW is really nice. So.. (hopefully i haven't lost you yet ) since the trigger is something that I tend to use a fair bit. This was a negative for me. (negative means bad) A CARRIER GROUP AND RECOIL... Hard Meh .. "Meh" being a sound one might make to imply disinterest around something. In this case, one of their marketed features. Ah.. its half term... sorry forgot.... as you were

I like to make people work for it! Indeed though, 'tis an FFI Tigerstripe G3 set.

Yup. That shows for me.

Much better ta, was gonna say "but I don't know what I'm looking at", but I can just about make out Tiger Stripe set👍

Wow... Just wow... *Reminds himself he is on a forum and moves forwards with his day*

It’s just a sales pitch, even m4/m16 rifles I shot many years ago in the states didn’t fill me with the “Jesus that’s a heavy trigger” feeling that the das has That trigger and the price influenced my decision to buy the mws

Not realistic compared to my real m4 trigger the das is about 2.5 x too heavy

It’s only airsoft, that’s all that matters My mws is nearly how I want it to look/feel. I keep feeling an itch for a G&P dbal but as I have no desire to ever spunk multiple £k on nods it’s an aesthetic itch to scratch. currently have a nuprol battery box as a visual “tester” ”just for the look, I don’t light it”

Haley flick reloads “why are you out of magazines” “ I flicked them all” “How you gonna reload now?” ”dunno but it looked cool “

So much I want in the classifieds, must.......resist

mised u 2 babes (Sorry, too much time on Failbook...) Amount of disposable pyro sold on the field? "Yeah, the first smoke is free. You liked that? Now it'll cost you..."

Welcome back mate, we've missed you Id like to see how they're gonna measure that ?

Hopefully this isn't within the realms of being an impatient prick (if it is... then sorry, not sorry), just wanted to do a bump of sorts of a thread I've got in the appraisals section... a section I myself rarely look at unless I have a post in there. It's for a KSC G23f with some extra mags, if you have any thoughts on a reasonable/fair price please let me know because I'm clueless. Plenty of photos in the thread which I'll link here.

Noice, will give it a go, I saw that until u modded your magazines to green gas mod it gave you a larger differentiation between your "worst" and "best" performing mag... I will try to do the green gas mod on my worst mag and try and see the difference then thanks!

Yup as wise inbred country folk would say “sure is a perdy gun !” 😍

I wanted to try teching a bolt action so worth a punt, makes a nice display piece if it's completeely borked

Have to say I’m a bit on the wall over this one , as has been mentioned not a great deal of info BUT to my untrusting nature it comes across more as a lack of knowledge as to what the fault is rather than the blatant bullshitery of the original advert ? 🤔

It will look good hanging on my wall if I can't fix it

Ummm... I should do but sometimes I can't see the wood for the trees 🙄

that's a lot o' schmeckles for something with an unknown problem. sure if it's something simple to fix then it ain't so bad but for all the info given this thing could be wrecked inside.

Battlefield tour week booked for next year in Germany. Roll on July 2022 haha 😂

You know you can gently file them down to the correct length, right? 🤣 But yeah, let him know about your issue.

I think its finished 😂

Well into my cars - but sadly due to a ex who is a complete c**t i had to sell my car to ensure i could look after my little uns when she fucked off with her new bloke. collect movie figures or stupid toys as the girlfriend calls them. most of my time is devoted to planning the perfect murder and getting away with it

I dislike the principle of player marshals - sites should be fielding the appropriate number of marshals (which generally means having staff on zero hour contracts called in for the number of bookings) There are a few duties of the marshal, only one of which is veering to the referee: 1) Safety 2) Customer enjoyment 3) Game management 4) Rule enforcement 2 & 3 are the functions that ‘marshals’ should lead on with 1 being the overriding factor when required 4 is a minor element for marshals after the other 3 I can’t remember the ratios, but there are defined numbers in paintball recommended by the UKPSF (and therefore also by insurers) for the number of marshals vs number of players . This ratio varies by type of player (rental, experienced regular own gunner, etc) and needs to be adjusted for site & zone specifics on how they can oversee the players. For roles 2 & 3 the marshal number could be as low as 2 per group (one per side) For role 1 it depends on the type of site/zone, the risks, what oversight they have and how quickly they can intervene and act on a safety need Role 4 on rule enforcement is an entirely different matter. In paintball it can be low due to the marking of the splat and mostly done at a distance with oversight. In a competition it becomes the matter that you get up to a 1:1 ratio with eyes on every player. In airsoft it’s a different matter - if just a rental group then you can let things slide a little for the ‘good day out’ fun factor and happy customers. It’s not critical that a gentle hit didn’t get noticed or a player is ignoring hits - then focus on the problems If a regular crowd then it should become the norm that people play fairly - or alternatively play equally unfairly and create a toxic site If mixed between rentals, regulars, occasionals then it’s difficult - getting the right balance of marshals to players with a fair level of refereeing in their duty. Player marshals might be a compromise, but if there’s a problem that can be toxic, even if done well the toxic cheat will push the issue back as favouritism Ive put in site staff and team members as a ‘playing’ role, or marshals also acting as a playing character. A couple of times using them in an undercover manner - they appear to be normal paying customers in the safe zone and at the start, but then during the game slip into their role. (Not a player that marshals / referees) But these shouldn’t be a player in the normal sense, they should be ‘playing’ to push the game storyline, and keeping marshalling and their game role separate. If someone on your side isn’t taking their hits etc then you should say something, but not assume authority.

Oh so true , a good friends mum and dad went on a guided tour in China a few yrs ago weather started turning nasty so the tour guide asked who needed waterproofs ? So next day the ones who did jumped in the mini bus and trundled off to get some . Hr or so later they drive in to a big factory looking place and up to a side door , guide knocks on it chap comes out pops on the bus and wanders around with a North Face catalog and a clipboard , everyone chooses what they want , guy disappears and reappear 15mins later with the kit they pay him not even a 3rd of retail price then head off back to the hotel . Later that day dad asks the guide who they’d bought the kit from and she turned around and said “oh that was the North Face factory , the man was my cousin who works there !” 😳😂😂

I often used to be a player/marshall for one of my teammates chain of sites, as did most of my teammates (but not all) why ?, as a team we were generally known for high levels of fair play, so it kinda made sense that we were asked to "quietly" police gameplay to ensure harmony. Essentially the site organiser would ask us to discretely support his paid hi-viz clad staff, during the safety briefing he would inform the punters that there were player marshals undercover within the teams who would only identify themselves if absolutely necessary, & generally this worked very well, players who may have been tempted to bend the rules because there was no hi-viz in sight had to consider who else was watching. how did we approach it ?, mostly it was the occasional honesty shot in the butt for anyone pointed out to us, sometimes people mildly kicking off were told to head back to the safe zone for 15 mins to hydrate & calm down, on the understanding that another episode would result in a half or full day break, or lifetime ban for the extreme cases (obviously this would be confirmed by the paid staff & was a rare occurrence). we had one teammate who at times was at times unpredictable in his playing style & attitude, partly due to issues in his home life, needless to say he was never asked to fill the role. in return, we got free game days, & they were usually very enjoyable, if you expect fair & honest gameplay, how better than to be quietly ensuring it's happening 👍

Player marshals can be a good thing but finding good ones isn't easy. They can't just be a mate they have to an employee and held to the standard of marshal first. A strict set of rules regarding how to deal with things to prevent people trying to abuse the role and the understanding you are in game to help propel things and keep them fair for others not for yourself is a must.

Marshalling is ultimately taking your hobby and turning it into a job (though it's rarely treated like that, more on that later), that's a pretty hard thing to reverse. Many of the, what I'd consider, good marshalls I've known across the years are of the opinion that it's very much a case of you're a marshall or you're a player when it comes to a site. Trying to juggle the two just never really works out. The point at which they've transitioned to becoming a marshall rather than a player was when they've felt the games at said site started to grow stale, but they still wanted to be involved with the social side. Whenever they've decided they want to play they'd go to a different site, often turning into a bit of an 'away day' for the regulars. (This paragraph is a tangent) I personally loathe the whole player marshall thing, where you're not actually an employee of the company/individuals running a site, you're just a pal/regular that gets a handful of benefits for helping out. I couldn't give you any specifics as to why, outside of niche things like players whipping a hi-vis out of a dump pouch the moment things get spicy, granted that's the person not 'the role'. I just think marshalls should be a more official thing where they have applied for a vacancy, been interviewed, given the position because they were the right fit for the job and paid accordingly for their services. I don't have any first hand experience of marshalling, this hobby is one of the few things in my life where I don't carry responsibility for others (outside of abiding rules for others safety) and I'd like to keep it that way, but my thoughts align with the sentiments of folks with experience as stated above. Depends on how you think you can juggle it, but I dare say you've got some commutes in your future if you want to keep the game as more of a hobby than a job.

Hi everyone, long time no post for me but thought I'd throw up my latest gat. I'm waiting on the real early D type stock and pistol grip to finish it off as a proper XM16E1. Base is the MWS M4A1 with a custom upper receiver done by LCS Engineering Outpost. Fencing was removed from the lower by me. Internals are stock with the exception of the rifle length buffer and tube.

Got my MACV SOG (ish) loadout sorted. (I know webbing isn't right but close enough for me 😉) And a choice of weapons 😄 Yes, the XM177 look is spoiled by the A2 upper but I'd rather have the lovely recoil of the Lonex BAW than the correct details 😁

It’s just you 😂😉

Today ,I got this response from TaiwanGun when I asked if they still use UPS as a carrier......... Witam / Hello / Bonjour / Buenos dias Temporarily closure of deliveries to Great Britain Due to the huge problems our shipments have encountered since Brexit, we have decided to temporarily suspend the possibility of orders for customers from Great Britain. We cannot allow a situation in which most of our parcels do not reach their addressees. We respect our British customers just like everyone else, but until the delivery problems are resolved, it will not be possible to order products for delivery to the UK. We are constantly working on solving the problem, when anything changes, we will inform about it on our social media channels. You can find our products at our distributor
