Well I went today, first decent skirmish out for me since Covid hit so it was a much needed game. The place was easy to find in Gravesend town centre, parking literally around the back. (Thamesgate car park) Also train station directly opposite. Safe zone was well laid out, lots of space for 90 odd I reckon, there was about 50 playing today. Pyro/BBs/Rental gear/snacks for sale. 3 floors to game on, ground floor really well laid out for cross angles and no choke points / stale areas. 2nd and 3rd floor lots of gear for cover, more technical skills and teamwork required to prevail. Half decent actual loos - thanks Debenhams!! Briefing, full chrono, game explanations are short and concise, no guff but everything covered, I go as far as to say the best I’ve seen yet in my 18 years of playing. Also gameplay was well policed and the whole day had more of an adult feel to it from a sensibility POV. Site limits are upto 350fps on 0.2, BBs 0.32 and below permitted. Semi only. Dont get me wrong there was a couple of obligatory mouthers which were dealt with and LITERALLY a couple isolated hit issues as is par for the course. Marshals did a great job, no grey areas, factual and fun. The whole day seemed to flow well, 98% of the time hits were taken honourably, I think the slightly hotter FPS and BB weight helped as a decent welt gives an undeniable knee jerk reaction 😂 Players were also good making body hits when available, headshots only really when that was all you were sticking up. Also testament to this was me running my GHK AK105U, I took my E&L AK105 as a backup thinking I’d need the firepower/ammo capacity but even being heavily active in all games and only carrying 4x 40rd mags and a Dynatex I only ran dry in one game. So being able to rock that all day was great fun! Think I pumped out 20 mags in all and only one stoppage 😎 Gun variety was a little lacking, sea of AR types obv, 1 other AK, an MP7, a Vector, a shorter, only one other GBBR - a Scar, no bullpups for sure! The days game cost £35, their website is very good for booking. They also do evenings which is cool. The South East has been lacking in decent CQB and I’m pleased this has arrived, bit of a mini Mall and way closer than Reading for me at least!! Oh yeh... not a single MWS out! Couldn’t believe it!

I like to mount mine on the shelf with all the other things I bought that I don't use.

Latest acquisition. Ares L22A2. Weathered it a little, still a wip. I've weathered susats before, but this was my first attempt almost close to accurate.

New addition

This is somehow equal parts funny and sad.

Yeah well I don't know how to do links☹ Well done @Brophy you're amazballs. Lol 😉 Regards

G&G Predator. Wish it. Was worth £400 plus lol

Haha. Nice kill! 👍

I got a dodgy mk23 barrel (right hooking shots) off them once. I ended up having to ring them. Spoke to me like I was the issue. You literally can't put a mk23 barrel in wrong an shot straight again when returning to the original barrel which I did a couple of times to be sure. Had to push a little to return, and have the post plus the post it cost me to return as I wasn't gonna be £5 out of pocket for them sending me a flawed barrel. Even then had to poke them for my refund after they had received it. It wasn't great but I got my money back eventually.

I am using Magpulls on my M4 mags but also plan to try stuffing a chunk of pipe lagging in the bottom to raise them up a bit (also allows me to place empty mags “feed lips up” so I don’t grab them by mistake!)

For £200 I'd want a Chinese orphan to pop out and zero it in for me every game. Well, the usual suggestion. If you're not completely happy, invoke your statutory right to cancel the contract, no debate, no reason, just money back. If there's the slightest ambiguity in who's responsible for getting it back to them, or if they don't respond, then instruct your payment processor to initiate a chargeback. The sooner you do this, the sooner it will get resolved in your favour.

Thanks @Brophy for the mention and the link! 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷

So for those that dont know im an armoursmith/ blacksmith and ive decided to take on a gun project using these skills. Specifically the ultimax 100 mk 5 because I love the ultimax but Id also like to be able to use my regular m4 mags and that version has a magwell. Made a mockup so far. A v3 gearbox sits about perfect in this but on the real one the upper and lower recievers are welded together. If I did this Id never be able to get the gearbox out. Im probably gonna try to make it in a way that means the rear end cap can come off and the recievers can come apart. One of the main reasons I chose this gun is because its basically just 90 degree boxes for most of the reciever. Ill probably just be brazing on other pieces of metal for all those details on the side of it. Evetything else will be hammered out of 2-3mm steel. I will probably also be getting a friend to 3d print some of the brackets and internal parts for the barrel and hop. Should be a fun project.

Finally got my mitts on a MK3, I've been looking for Months, found this one at Military Odyssey.

You should check out Asmodias reviews of the southern region Airsoft sites to add some info might save you a few trips

Eh. PMR446 is easier, the Baofengs are a bit of a sod to program. I've got mine dialled in to the PMR channels now (of course, I have never hit the transmit button) but it was quite the chore. Sure, in the same way that I'd never exceed the speed limit, anywhere, ever, for any reason, in any circumstances.

Pretty Meh! day today..was good this morning and had fun using the MTW setup as DMR on 0.4's and testing out the new Scopecam 2. Switched over to the WE AK74UN for the afternoon game, but things went downhill...gamemode was attack and defend on the whole field..but was not fun fighting on a 30Degree bank and people were tired/grumpy and being twats...a lot of full auto into people going on. Decided to call it quits with about an hour to go as wasn't fun at all....Which is the first time ever that I've walked off a field. Complained to the marshals, but having only 2hrs sleep the night before, may have dampened my mood for the day...and but mid afternoon I just got fed up with the snail pace gameplay and people being twats...I think about a dozen peeps also had the same idea and quit. Oh the AK74 ran great and the Ra-Tech heavy recoil kit kicks ass...was a lot of fun playing with it before things went south on the playing field. (Having to pick your shots with only a 30rnd mag is nerve racking...buy satisfying as well)

I've decided I'm selling up. Airsoft has lost its lustre to me recently I've also put in a request to leave the moderation team, so I'll be a regular Joe soon enough.
