My PTW shoots like a bloody laser...It's a 2008 model with full Tac mods and I have 10 genuine EMAGS which Tac replaced the innards with original Systema ones. I cannot fault the platform. It just works each and every time. Ok the followers in the mags are annoying (and can get lost sometimes) but they are needed to operate the bolt stop.... but hey that was cutting edge back in the day. What do I like about it, it's reliable...! There you go I've said it! And best of all I can change the power from 330 to 450fps within a matter of minutes. It's only ever let me down once and that's when the motor packed in and I sent it to Tac to get rewound. Anyway, back to the topic of MWS. This weekend I zero'd the T1 to about 50m. I figured that was the best compromise distance. I was using 0.28's and Abbey Ultra Predator gas. The temperature was about 23c and goodness me the power I was getting from the BCG felt like a missile. The recoil was phenomenal and the range equally impressive. I didn't have a chrono with me so I wasn't sure if it was shooting hot or not but that's besides the point. The MWS can take some serious welly. And you know what? It's fun to use. You get that better immersion that's for sure.

WE SVD (with a Dremeled and epoxied A&K stock and for grip) and a FOCUHUNTER Scope .

Got a spitfire tracer for mine 😁 Tried to do bursts but at about 30rps the 24 round mag doesn't last long! VID_20210607_213233.mp4

@Druid799, make you right mate, that's a disgusting attitude, gotta question the h&s aspect when they ran live fire clays at the same time as an Airsoft event, definitely dodgy as fuck. As for his not giving a shit attitude, he's lucky someone didn't put him on his arse. Everybody lost money over the last 18 months, doesn't mean you abandon all integrity just to squeeze a few more quid out of a day, prick deserves to go under, then someone else can step up & run it properly. Is this the same site that stitched up your friend, the former head marshal ? Next thing, destroy the mofo on every forum & FB page, as well as the review sites such as trustpilot etc 😈

New purchase arrived today

damn.... im sat on a potential £40 haul in various colours.... feel bad for the person who bought one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294185829399?_trkparms=aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200908162613%26meid%3Dcafb69055fff4d26af200823210339af%26pid%3D101278%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D294185829399%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DPersonalizedSellersV2%26brand%3DAirsoft&_trksid=p2380057.c101278.m47528&_trkparms=pageci%3Af03673b3-c7aa-11eb-ac86-362334634da0|parentrq%3Ae73dc3b71790a74475ffef39fffe7746|iid%3A1

My partner's been on 60mg codeine recently to help with her chronic pain. There have been a few entertaining evenings spent listening to the absolute jibberish that comes out her mouth for a few hours after she takes it.

Sad to hear you’re not getting on with the MWS experience. As an ex PTW fanboy myself, I’m finding the overall reliability of the MWS platform very refreshing. I enjoy maintaining and tinkering with the gun, and it’s never let me down in a game, which I found was a major issue with my PTW’s, which I ran for about 10 years. I got sick of having to send them off to mysterious gurus for months at a time, to have various weak design flaws rectified at hundreds of pounds of cost. Worn sector gears, faulty motors, chopped bb’s, misfeeding magazines, catastrophic failure in very wet conditions, and a general lack of feedback from firing the PTW are all things that are thankfully long behind me know. They just got in the way of me enjoying skirmishes in the end. With a light bit of fettling, and good maintenance I’m glad to say neither my MWS or MP7 have ever failed to fire, and shoot accurately absolutely miles. Yes the mags are real capacity and realistically heavy, but I’ve completely got used to that, and I’m getting as many kills as I usually got, just with much more satisfaction of having bettered my hi-cap hose, sewing machine wielding opponents.

To be fair, TaiwanGun and GunFire gear might take on collector status soon.

Hence my point about opening more being preferable to double booking which i agree is a shitty way to go about solving the problem. Thats the problem with autism- at the "lesser" end of the scale folk can, especially as they age and gain experience, become very adept at appearing normal, right up until the point they're not. indeed for the older generations it's very common for folk to be undiagnosed (and by extension unaware themselves why they act certain ways). Possibly, although as mentioned it can be incredibly hard to tell in person let alone secondhand. Saying things either verbally or with body language that are just the wrong fit for the situation is a common symptom (leading to more frustration because now people are pissed off). Again as with above this could be interpreted either way. Given you were a regular there and had a much clearer view of how he was acting you could well be right, as mentioned it could be interpreted either way when reviewed second-hand in writing. Tbh the reason i brought it up was more just to plant the seed that there could be an alternate explanation, having read it and realised some of the similarities. For sure, i mean they could at least have been up front about it- let folks know what was going to happen so they could decide if they still wanted to make the trek or not.

Do see your points but to openly say they couldn’t give a toss about customer satisfaction just as long as there recouping lost money ? As to could he be on any spectrum he runs a business that has four sites two of which are open Severn days a wk running multiple events at a time , when he was first actually informed we wanted to speak to him with no real details about what being given to the marshal and the fact he looked at us shrugged his shoulders and walked off in a different direction and finally the fact his wife said ‘he doesn’t like being questioned about his business practices” so I think I’m more than right in saying he’s an arrogant prick nothing more nothing less ? No that was a different site and yes I fully intend to put up truthful revues on there customer service attitude .

My first RIF, can't wait to field it this weekend 😍😁

@Druid799 That’s a proper shitter matey, this is one reason I pay with either PayPal or my Credit Card - there is always a way to turn about bad service but bad manners need punishment wether it’s financial in form of a card chargeback or to the council where you can cite lack of safety of minors

I fully understand why the site owner pulled that stunt, but I don't agree with him and genuinely think it was a shit move to piss off a bunch of locals. After all locals are the major source of income for sites so they should be treated almost like kings. If we were to become greedy fucks, I think I'd quit playing Airsoft for good (I manage the finances of my club btw).

Sorry to hear all that dude. I bet you were all just gobsmacked. He will find out that the more balls you try to juggle with the more you are likely to drop. Regards

they will take .PNG or .JPG files buddeh - so just draw/edit/rob that image I was thinking a polymer one > https://www.stitchmeup.biz/emb-kawaii

It’s one thing I can’t actually craft (yet) but I look like my avatar and I’ll be rocking my reverse bandoleer with my AFUK patch on it so I’ll be easy enough to spot (and the fact I swear like a trooper when I get tagged 😜 )

Or who to shoot 😜

Welcome Sebastian. I agree with Rogerborg, that 4x may be a bit too much magnification unless you have a very accurate and consistent shooter. 2x will be more useful in general. Simple 1x red dots are the most common ...and yes, buy or make a lens protector... THIS or THIS kind of thing

I'm easy with either date. No strong preference Thinking about getting a T Shirt printed with my avatar on it so you'll who who I am/who to avoid!

Flip a coin at the start of the day and the losing team has to wear this?

Somehow only just noticed this thread...... Not a fan of the dead man's walk as discussed in here. IMO it's a slippery slope from this to "oh I'll just go use that respawn point behind the enemy lines" (yeah I have seen that). See also the concept of DBAD, the general guide I've always worked to is "does doing this make me a dick?". If so don't do it and therefore Don't Be A Dick.....

I have never had a problem running my MWS based Mk12 as a DMR even at sites that state DMRs must be 7.62. I have been to a couple and spoken to the marshals before the game and they have checked it out and been fine. The fact that it is long and weighs a shit tone (18” heavy steel outer barrel) and being a GBBR has pretty realistic ammo limits as well as being based on a real steel DMR has always been fine with them. I think the issue is it is unfair to have the range benefits of a DMR without the disadvantages of a DMR to offset it (size, weight, ammo capacity). This is the main reason for the arbitrary power difference between bolt actions and DMRs (why would most people use a bolt action when you could shoot just as far with a semi locked DMR?). I also have a semi-locked 14.5 inch MWS that shoots at just under the 500 FPS mark, but it built as a competition gun for 2 or 3 gun shooting where the higher FPS is an advantage and we are only punching paper so no issues. I would never run this in a game as it would not be in the spirit of the hobby to do so as my carbine length M4 would be out ranging all but the most well set up sniper rifles (not to mention the fact that it was an expensive build so I would be very upset if I dropped it in the dirt).

What @MiKsaid. I use Imgur, even on mobile to upload the picture and then copy the link/picture on AF-UK

There could be another reason to this, you might have hit your photo storage size, every time you slap something up on site your allowance goes down…. Might be time to prune some of your older images ? /on a side note if I have a masssssoooive image I just drop it into my discord channel and then copy the discord link and let discord host the image your profile > my attachments

'twas an odd day. It's definitely becoming way too hot to play. Wearing synthetic shit didn't help either. The new chest rig worked really well, I like how light it is even when loaded. We are now at 36 members with an active count of 15+ each Sunday, most are new kids, teamwork is growing but we are still not ready for tournaments, only a handful of people (including me) have experience with those. Which sucks dicks because we have one tournament scheduled on the 11th of July. So back to yesterday, there is this guy who always shows up late, thinks he has the right to do whatever the fuck he wants just because he paid, which is definitely not the case here, so after him being annoying all day I took him to the side and gave him one last chance at behaving before handing back his money and kick him out of the club. I mean, we meet at 8 AM on the field for a reason, especially during the warmer months, it gets unplayable after 10:30 AM so we try to play as much as possible before, you can't show up at 9 and then complain that we don't wait for you, or that we go home by 11:30.. There's plenty of other clubs that have a different view on Airsoft, go join those instead.

'Another Idiot Bringing Humanity into Disrepute' would be more accurate. Total scum.

Went out with my serviced and cleaned AK, only to fall over a tree root 10 mins into the game. I was a pretty good gymnast in the mists of time, so controlling a fall is fairly easy, but... I managed to snag my free foot on something else too as I fell. THUD. Busted the rear sight, split the top housing in front of the (now displaced) dust cover, and the battery compartment bottom cracked. I hit the floor hard enough to dislodge a contact lens. I honestly thought that I'd broken my big (arthritic) toe, but it moved after a few minutes of laying still and therapeutically swearing. Rifle still fed OK and shot straight so on we went. Played OK too. First game damage I've inflicted on a CYMA. I doubt an all steel build would have been damaged, but I doubt I'd find one for less than £70 on TG. I'll have to get the gaffer tape and cable ties out I expect. If it's serious the Jubilee clips come out too, possibly the superglue. Bloody good day out mind!

Well I'm not too sure about that. I started of with one gun and it seems to have reproduced many! 😉 Regards

Hi, ALL! 👋 Here is my first recorded Battlesim, had a Great time, Part 1! 😁 Doing the best with what I have, enjoy it for what it! 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷

After having 2 reflex sights shot out I can strongly recommend sight protectors.👀. It's cheaper and easy to cut and shape replacement plexiglass when they get cracked,which they will. I was really pissed though when my night evolution weapon light got trashed down the bunker. It cost me £60 sobs! I can't even get the front holding ring off to replace the lens!☹ Regards

So I picked both these up from these forums and because I got them at a decent price it left some cash over to do a bit more upgrading. The NGRS M4 came with a prommy inner barrel and purple hop rubber. I was going to S hop it but i'll run the prommy stuff for a game or 2 before doing that. I fitted a titan and new pistol grip as the A2 style grip really gets on my goat. The M4 also came with the Knights rail in the box (it was a socom so comes with the plastic handguards). There is a small air leak between the cylinder head and nozzle and a new nozzle still has a slight air leak so I've ordered a new cylinder head and a O ringed nozzle to get rid of that problem (not really a problem as it's only a FPS variation of about 10 at the worst but enough to annoy me). The NGRS G36K I added the Jefftron V3 (first time trying one of these and seems to be a straight forward swap). I'll probably S hop this as well but right now it came with a Prommy flat hop rubber and flat nub and seems to shoot fine so I'll do the S hop at the same time as the M4. I actually prefer the Jefftron app over the Gate Titan App but that might just be because I connect the Titans via USB whereas the Jefftron is all bluetooth.

The plot thickens, I tend to go through somewhere between 800-1000 rounds on a game day (depending on the wheres and whys of the site) and I found the 35 round mags hard to adjust to... so suffice to say if you're regularly slinging 4 times that on your average day I dread to think how 'inconvenient' the platforms limitations would appear. FWIW I ended up selling my first MWS, immediately regretted it and recently picked up another (largely because I wasn't in a rush because playing wasn't on the cards, I'd have likely got another sooner had it been). The second time around I know it's more going to be my 'fun gnu', at least to start with. I still land on AEGs/RIFs that are powered by electricity (truthfully I've never understood why it's insisted that PTWs are referenced to separately, they're AEGs in my eyes... but that's for another time/place) are the best RIFs for skirmishing with on an overall balance of pros/cons... and yes that's including a few years using HPA, just not worth the faff for me in the end. But having now given GBBRs a fair shake I imagine I'll always have at least one in my collection, and the MWS seems as good as any for my needs as and when the time comes that I want to use it.

Hi Sebastian, and welcome to AFUK. I'm guessing this or similar? https://www.amazon.co.uk/BESTSCOPE-Hunting-Optical-Fiber-Reticle/dp/B08FB4WY9D I can't speak to that particular model, but I will note that quality control on Chinese scopes is very hit and miss. However, Amazon at least gives an easy return if you get a lemon (as I did from Ali Express), and most owners seem happy. However, several reviewers flag up that the eye relief is short, which might be an issue depending on what eye and face protection you're using. It's also quite common for airsofters to put optics on risers to get a more comfortable view through them. Pic for attention, and you'll notice that I've set the scope as far back as I can because of the eye relief issue. And finally I do feel compelled to note that there's really no need for a magnified scope at airsoft 1.1J AEG ranges. I run a cheap 1x40 red dot outdoors, and a cheaper holographic site indoors (where there are fewer reflections). That lemon-scope there is on a DMR. Oh, and it's got no sight protector because it's a £21 optic with a plastic objective lens that might improve it if it gets shot out. If you're running anything nicer, I'd highly recommend popping a sight protector in front of it, for example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tactical-QMFIVE-Shooting-Protector-Foldable/dp/B06XZR34YH

I think I'm more worried about John reading the Daily Mail.

It's a wet day in Wolverhampton 😑

Given all the costs of running an airsoft site, only banding one arm has always struck me as a curious thing to economise on.

Ok, so I can get either weekend of 17th OR 31st - so, by ways of voting, please either LIKE this post for the 17th OR HAHA for the 31st Thanks (Y)

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

That's only going to make his problem worse? Edit: ahh yes i see, shorten them so he can wear shorts instead, side bonus of being a smaller target to hit.

Anyone not cohering with these rules will face a suspension, ban or deletion of their account, this includes all posts and topics. The Guidelines • Search There is a search feature on this forum that will help you to find information that may have already been posted up. Often people experience very similar problems so the chances are that your question has already been answered is highly likely. Regulars to the forums will usually be aware if your question has already been answered several times before, so some may become annoyed you didn't use the search feature. There is a three character minimum length for searching, i.e. MP5, hpa, fps. Try using different search terms to get more results. • Giving advice Give solid advice only if you are sure what you are talking about. Don't mislead people as at best you are risking their money, and at worst, you are risking their safety. It's much better to say your only guessing and let others add to your answer than to lead the person into doing something wrong, and coming back and pointing the finger at you. • Post in the appropriate sub-forums If you want to chat about the latest Airsoft releases, do it in "Latest News". If you are new to the forums and want to ask a question, it might be best in the "Advice & Technical Help" forum. If you want to sell something, the "Classifieds" forums are the place to announce it. Basically, have a look at all the categories and post where you think your topic will be best suited. • Use descriptive titles for new topics Posting a topic with the title "Look here!", or "Please help", will not attract the attention of the users. If you use titles like "JG G36C gearbox problem", or "New gun from ICS!", more people will view your post and will know what they are about look at. Do not post titles in ALL CAPS, do not post misleading titles ("clickbait"). • Use good English and check your spelling! "1337-Speak" should also not be used on these boards. Nor should "text speak", use your word processing software to check for basic spelling and grammar errors, we aren't looking for the best English, but it is a lot easier to read a checked post, than another like, "hi, wel i av a prob wiv me gun u c nd i dnt no wot 2 do". Adding punctuation, full stops and commas make it easier to read. • Use Personal Mail (PM) Instead of posting in a Sales / Swaps topic which will cause it to 'bump' that topic just use your PM to communicate asking and answering questions. Sellers should be aware that any post, for whatever reason (especially answering questions or making a comment), that are before the 7 days is considered a bump. If you cannot receive PM then try deleting some old ones to free up space. • Caps lock Do not post in all Caps lock as it looks like you are shouting at somebody and is also very annoying to read. Topic and advert titles are to be in normal sentence case, not in all CAPITALS. • Don't post duplicate topics Multiple topics started about the same thing may be deleted, merged or moved at the moderators' or my discretion. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules • Use "Smileys" effectively "Smileys" can be used in your forum posts. If you are joking about something, use them to help indicate that your statement was made humorously. They can be used to indicate your mood and show that something was not meant to be taken seriously. If you don't use them, people will assume you are being serious. Arguments have broken out before because of a misunderstood joke. • No Arguing Don't argue, if you feel offended by the comments of another user or believe a post is offensive, report it to the moderators, and they or I will be deal with it. Starting a fight may result in sanctions for all those involved. Our first decision is our final one! • Be nice to other forum users Treat others as you would like to be treated to yourself. There is absolutely no need to be abusive on these forums. If you are then your posts / topics will be edited or deleted, you may be given a warning, you may get your account suspended, and persistent offenders will be banned. • Post Spam Don't post just to raise your post count, there is no bonus in it, and moderators will become frustrated with the spam. Continued post spamming will result in a suitable sanction. • Be Constructive If you don't have something constructive to add to a thread then don't post at all. This applies especially in the "Classifieds" section, if you have something to say, PM it to the seller. Comments like "good luck with the sale" or "nice gun" are also not appreciated. Repeatedly ignoring these guidelines when you post, may lead to your posts or account being moderated/edited. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules Forum Rules The following are rules that must be adhered to. Failure to follow these rules will attract the attention of the forum moderators. All moderators are friendly people and follow the rules laid out to them, they are there to enforce the forums rules, if you have a problem with a particular moderator please PM me "proffrink" personally. • Thread bashing/trolling There will be some posts or threads in the forum that you may not like. If you dislike somebody's thread or some of the people participating in the discussion simply don't bother reading or replying to it. Posting/trolling in it with the sole purpose of having it closed (bashing) will not be tolerated. • Off topic Try to stay close to the original topic of a certain thread as much as you can. If you wish to talk about something else make a new topic, do not use an existing one. Remember to use the search function as there may already be a topic for what you wish to talk about. • Spam Adding posts that contribute nothing to the conversation (spam) will be deleted or merged with a previous post. Do not "bump" your threads by posting irrelevant information or just "bump". It is spam and will be deleted. Continuous spamming will result in warning points being added to your account, a suspension, or a ban from the forums. • Advertising No one is to use their account to place advertisements in their signature, avatar or any posts. Anyone caught will have their account, including all posts and topics deleted. They may also be banned by IP depending on the seriousness of the offence. Retailers / shops are not to place any adverts in the Classifieds. A shop can create one topic in the Places to Buy section, using the shop name as a title, with a link to your website. • Duplicate Accounts Each user is only allowed one account. Duplicate accounts take up valuable system resources and annoy other forum users. It is very easy to spot duplicate accounts created or used by the same person, and any duplicate accounts found will be removed. Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate IP ban, deletion of account and removal of all posts and topics. • Absolutely NO References glorifying or inciting drug-misuse References glorifying or inciting criminal behaviour or violence Images or videos of graphic violence Images or videos of an adult or graphically sexual nature Images or videos that show drug misuse • Racial, Sexual and Religious Equality This site makes no discrimination between people of different race, gender or religion.

Thank you for reading!

After taking a day to cool down I can safely say Sunday was the worst airsofting experience I have ever had in over 20yrs of playing . arrived on site as per usual start getting ready to rock , get out nice and early have the usual warm up game goes well . Second game of the day playing far end of the site so I drop down the bottom and start flanking the blues to be told “no can’t go there that fields out of bounds” I think fair enough trying to keep it tight so more intense ? No reason was the NEXT field over from that one had a group of under 10’s having a paintball party ! Next game we turn that game around to THEN be told one of the top fields that has a crashed wooden blackhawk in it was now out of bounds instead for the same reason ! next game the first field is out of bounds again because there were adults paintballing in that field and a party of about 20 chavs that had booked a 2hr session of airsofting where dropped right in the middle of us lot so the whole thing totally went to ratshit because they where running around shooting everyone immaterial of which team they where on , not taking there hits and generally having a wonderful time ! Spoke to a marshal and his reply ? “There only here for 2hrs so boss said let them do what ever they want “ ! next game yet another field was closed due to kids having a paintball party , oh and at one point one of the only two marshals watching all these kids brings them in to the safezone where all us airsofters where (which totally contradicts child safeguarding) to clean there masks and while all these crotch goblins are milling around I even catch one trying to pick up my full stock full metal ways a ton AK74 ! Next game no problems sites ours again great . After this it’s lunch time , during lunch we notice a LOT of adults and children turning up and we find out we’re going to loose about 35% of the site to other activities so a group of the regulars are sat out side discussing what’s happening we all decide united front and speak to management was told someone would be over , no one turned up . Found the owners wife she said she was so busy but she ‘would try’ to speak to us , AND of course she didn’t ! Saw Her husband (other owner)tried speaking to him but he ignored me , told A senior marshal we wanted to speak to him urgently , I saw him tell him but all the owner did was shrug his shoulders and walk off in the opasite direction ! We all went inside to find him and we did , he was flitting around ‘doing stuff’ and blatantly ignoring us ! He finally went in to the office bit and starts going through the wavers from the morning we ask him “are you going to speak to us ?” He carries on going through the papers . Someone said “are you going to speak to us or just ignore us ?” and that’s just what he did he ignored us ! Someone then says “so your just going to ignore paying customers are you ?” At this point he just turns around and walked off without even acknowledging us ! He actually walked off ignoring us ! Un fucking believable . so by now all to a man we where absolutely bouncing so we decided again united front all leave and tell them why as we are leaving . We all pack up and as we’re leaving we spot the wife again so put our grievances to her telling her politely how disgusting it is there running other events on the same day the bi-monthly airsoft gameday is run and closing off sections of the site for these other activities but still charging us full price , she gives a half arsed apology I said “so what your saying is making money is more important than customer satisfaction ?” Her reply ? “Yes the money is more important because we lost so much last year and if we don’t make enough money now we’d have to close the site !” Oh and when asked about her husband ignoring paying customers politely asking him to answer our grievances her reply ? “Oh he doesn’t like being questioned on his business decisions and he will go quiet and not answer you !” As we are walking to our cars we spot him in one of the biggest fields leading a group of teens on quad bikes around it ! and cherry on top of this whole fiasco I later found out last game day they where running the air rifle range AND clay pigeon shooting at the same time as airsofting on site ! So all I can really say on it now is I and at least 10 other players will never be going back to BLACK OPS CRIBBS BRISTOL . And it’s been my ‘home site’ (I call it my home site even though I live in Swansea and drive 1.5hrs to get there) for over 7yrs as a result of the horrendous customer service given to us .

Quick update - they've made decision to close down Killhouse: last game will be at the end of June. Site originally opened in February just before corona kicked off and struggled due to constant lockdowns, restrictions and since business didn't exist for X months before lockdowns, they couldn't get govt help (at least that's my understanding, since my friend's business suffered for similar reasons). It's a real shame because that's the only site I could attend really due to work and distance so I guess I'm putting airsoft on indefinite hiatus
