I did spot the blooper on the zip front.👀 Easy mistake to make but had he used photoshop he could have got away with it.😉

Wow, those are nice. Don't feel bad that your zipper has three teeth too many, most people won't spot that.

Another kit made my a friend, this time one for you halo fans. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/airsoft-halo-magnum-aap-01-body-kit-rhysdavey

Basically pull trigger when you leave safe zone,run like fuck and swing gun from side to side. Release trigger on re-entering safezone.🤔

So don’t I feel stupid right now … my chrono was set to meters per second 🤦‍♂️ Its actually firing hot at around 330fps on .4g bbs! That’s like 500fps on .2g bbs 😳 on a blue (mid fps) nozzle.

Speedsoft bullshittery

If you do a forum search you’ll see LOTS of discussions about the subject of players or teams asking random strangers to join or form a team with them how it always 100% guaranteed will implode and go to ratshit .

Pre-firing while moving round a corner where you know someone is camping is a valid way to play but this is bullshit. This is a shit player who makes up for his lack of ability by trigger spamming. Any CQB sites should kick players for doing this as it is almost as bad as blindfiring.

Could definitely live with that. Been wanting to do a Blood Diamond build for a while. Old school. Is definitely cool Few finishing touches I want to make, but got myself a genuine surplus HK MP5 sling

Rental price yes, not sure about rates yet which as mentioned is the real killer ( and it's what eventually took down a non-airsoft thing my dad did so the charity option as mentioned by Rogerborg above could be a good shout. ) This would be quite a few months out from now if I actually do it so hopefully we'll know by then if "normal" is ever something we can go back to. But yea, it's certainly something I need to think about but it may not be until next year before I can do this anyway.

Happy fathers day to me. And indeed to all the dads who are laying in bed enjoying this brief,once a year,benefit of being a dad.👍

Just alluding to "stitch counters" in the reenactment scene. Really though, those are amazing jobs, I love the attention to detail.

I saw a girl on Failbook with the same issue, her unit had reset itself and defaulted to reading in metrons rather than turnips per fortnight. Another argument in favour of Joules - I can tell you that my DMR shoots 0.32g at 1.72J, but I have no idea what that means in metres or feet. It's just not relevant information.

I wouldn't make any distinction. In both cases, the only target you can hit is one that you couldn't see when you pulled the trigger. That's measuring twattishness, not skill: he's shooting dead players in the back willy nilly.

Oof, 213fps with 0.25g is just 0.52J, under half the power you should be getting. If that's a stock spring, your air seal is... well, not sealed. You're not likely to solve that with a barrel and hop. There's something quick you can try, which is to open it up and put silicone oil or spray into the nozzle. Give it a swirl around and some time to soak into the piston and cylinder head rings, then give it an auto burst before re-assembling to get most of it out. While it's apart, take the barrel out of the hop unit and check the rubber for signs of damage or perishing. If it's stiff, give it a lube with silicone oil then a thorough clean out. When you put the barrel back in, be sure that it's pushed all the way back into the hop unit, and that the clip is properly engaged. After doing that, if it's still under-powered, I'd suggest opening the gearbox up and lubing or if necessary replacing the piston ring. If you want to dive ahead and change the barrel and hop rubber then I'd suggest a ZCI 6.02mm or AOLS 6.01mm, and a Maple Leaf hop rubber, and a omega nub clone from https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/ But that won't cure your air seal issues, unless it's just down to a perished hop rubber or mis-seated barrel.

Because if they didnt take their hits, there is a good chance the gun he would wield next game would be a real one... it is russia afterall, so who knows

are you using new mags/different bbs? have you tried firing it with hop completely off have you cleaned the barrel? Also what make is it.

http://www.action-army.com/images/parts/EDM/U01024/U01-024_EDM.htm Of course they release the fucking M-Lok handguard ONE week after buying the mamba But anyway, today I took the smg to the field, although I didn't actually play with it. out of boredom I installed my visionking short dot and did a quick zero, I can safely say it's the perfect match lol. I'll run it next Sunday as a primary.

Totally. Just a shame the mag well sling clip on the Cyma receiver isn't that sturdy

I think potentially trying to separate gamestyles to different days could work maybe? One skirmish day would be aimed at quicker/simpler/casualer games and another at the milsims and the a separate day for speedsofters. This of course requires there to be enough of each type to support that though.

Further down the line.... desired customer base. No point in running a site with planned out complex multi-objective games if 3/4 of your customers just want to play capture the flag and vice versa. I remember a few years back showing up to what was supposed to be a milsimesque skirmish at Longmoor (£50 game fee) to find that the company had had a brainfart and literally expected the clientele to be happy with "flag in the middle of the street needs to get to your base and not the opposing teams" type games. Suffice to say that pretty much everyone thought this was a waste of the sites possibilities and a damn shame given the games the operators in question normally ran. Game flow....... as an example nothing more tedious and game killy than someone sat on a choke point with a chest full of hicaps or a drum mag.

This can happen but in later versions there is a buffer in the lower reciever. I've not experienced it with mine. IIRC it was also linked with whether on not people were using the stock when firing.

If indoor activities don't get shut down again round about October, I'll eat my hat, including the fan and wiring. I very much hope to be wrong about that, but I wouldn't like to bet against it.

What a load of crap. Prefiring around every corner 🙄 I know its effective but I want nothing to do with it and its what puts me off trying CQB.

After years of wanting one. I finally got it 🙂

I would also suggest making sure that you have the building for a long term lease, don't want developers ripping it out from under you

My advice before moving on anything go to as many sites as you can and have a chat with the people and the operators. Try and at least have a chat so when it comes time to open you are at least on a "hello" basis and you may be able to arrange to have games days that don't conflict and push business each others way. Always nice to have someone to call closeish by in case your pallet of BBs is found to have an endangered species nest of voles in and cant be moved so can pop over and grab some at short notice ETC Props and toys are something to invest in, for instance having a manikin (or even a very large marshal) on a stretcher can make a game feel epic and is just essentially a bog standard capture the flag game mode. Rentals make the money, try and have a marshal to look after just the rentals and give them the best day possible. Future players and future private parties will come of it. Good luck in the venture, always nice to hear of another possible site opening up.

That's a good idea yea, hadn't thought of that. One thing I was thinking, to try to keep it interesting to regular players, is take a hint from theatre staging and game development by having small "rooms", essentially tiles, on moveable castors so that the layout can be rearranged between game days. These layouts could then also be saved so if a particular layout was especially popular it could then be selected much like a game level.

I was thinking with this bit of a resurgence in ‘old school’ carrying handles and plastic forends you can’t help but wonder how long it’ll be before you start to see the classic ‘SWAT’ AR’s reappearing on the scene ? Not that I’d object as it is my all time favorite set up for an M4 .

King arms are finally re-releasing their FAL/SLR line towards the end of this year. Best wait for them. Far cheaper than better than Ares. Other than that, Brit Cold War stuff is cheep, numerous and you can even use more modern DPM if you aren't that bothered about accuracy. Just depends on how far you want to take it but its one of the more easy historic loadouts to make.

I'm not one for loadouts but today I've inadvertently gone Czech....something...

Enola Gaye EG25 Micro Smoke Grenade Box of 10 £26.00 Out of stock https://www.socomtactical.net/product-category/airsoft-pyrotechnics/ personally I would just get from the site I’m playing at - the price you pay isn’t that much more versus the “hoops” you have to jump through to get them from any supplier

Not a law enforcement loadout but this is my circa 1880ish outlaw loadout, which might still provide you some inspiration. It's largely period authentic apart from the primary. You can't really tell in the pic but I'm holding a GE M870 which will have to do until I get a KTW Winchester. In my right hand is a Tanaka SAA. I also have a Umarex Colt not pictured I do have a Deputy Marshall one too but no decent pics at the moment. We're playing a Wild West game on Saturday so hope to get some then! Pic credit to The Airsoft Project. edit: just reread and realised you're looking for inspiration for more recent law enforcement.. sorry!

Airsoftworld OR some HK shop. There is fuck all available in Europe for some reason. Whatever you want, the stock barrel is good out of the box, I don't see the point of swapping it.

Just go naked and gaffer tape on what you want then. Options; Stop being a tart Grow a longer torso Carry less gear

Ultimately I think the most minimalist setup is individual or mix of the following; 3: All non fighting/evading essentials in backpack. This can be dumped prior to a forward objective or in the event of an ambush. 2: Operators belt - Velcro inner to rigger outer, supported with a PLCE yoke, this will full support load, sit flush under or over any other gear. No padded liner - adds bulk and is not necessary when the belt is Velcro’d in place. Run most of your fighting essentials on this and/or; 2: Low profile plate carrier, FC slick Slickster or similar. I know you say they restrict your breathing but PCs like these are (I find) extremely comfortable, you don’t have to run training plates, the sides are elasticated so breathing/mobility is easy, the shoulders sit thinly and flush - so comfy under backpack/other gear. You can also easily from the front slacken the grip for more breathing room on exertion/tabs etc With no additional pouches you can carry your radio, some mags, tourniquet, other random. You can slip a flush triple shingle in the front for more or better mag placement/indexing. Additionally i run a 1.5L Source hydro inside the cummerbund, a med and general pouch at the rear side cummerbund. And lastly an easy access admin pouch up top/front. All of the above is so low profile it’s ridiculous. 1: A decent combat smock, should be the base layer, carrying all essential survival and navigational gear. Good read hopefully 😂 Super low pro - More mags - Hydration -

UKARA 😁 Dead AAP-01 😭
