Thanks for turning this up, that about concludes the case for the prosecution. I worked for a company run like that, with a policy of only paying when court bailiffs turned up to collect the furniture. When they eventually went under, they renamed the company by reversing the name, folded it, then started a new company with the old name the next morning. They got away with this twice more before eventually running out of fresh suppliers and banks that they could scam into extending them more credit. The boss was the nicest guy you could imagine, pillar of the community, nothing was too much trouble for him... except for paying the creditors that he was ruthlessly ripping off. They slither among us.

Not quite. It's a classic move of closing down one company and continuing to trade under a new name, it clears the debts as they're unsecured and in the name of the previous Ltd company. Just means it costs the rest of us more in fees as the likes of Lloyds and Paypal aren't going to want to be out of pocket in the long run. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to why they'd owe Paypal so much.

Seeing as I had five minutes spare: Xtreme Tactical Ltd was incorporated on 19th February 2020, George is a Director. Prior to that he was a Director of Quantum Tactical UK Ltd (formerly Rifle Optics UK Ltd) between April 2017 and September 2018 and then again from November 2019 until it went into liquidation on 4th March 2020 with debts of £55,514.36 (£23,943.55 to Lloyds and the rest to Paypal). In the period between the two directorships the company was run by Paul, with the same surname as the aforementioned George. There was also a brief flirtation with Extreme Electronics Ltd but they must've decided against that as the company was struck off the register. All the above has been taken from official submissions to companies house and are available bere: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/Hz_Oz6Jv_dxKyCzBIxHPKEbrNMk/appointments

Done that to mine. So I'm looking forward to seeing yours.

I made up a DIY version- printer type fan and battery box that takes aa's from eBay. Works well, but when mounted on a helmet, you can hear it I tend to switch it on if fogging starts, then off when not needed. I'll post some photos and links to the bits when I get home. Total cost about £10, the most expensive but was a velcro helmet battery box to put it in..

Thank you both, you've been incredibly helpful. Personally I'm quite interested in the ham stuff as I know my grandad is also. I've signed up for the 3 week Essex ham course so I can learn what's required to pass the amateur exam and get the 27 pound license, so that shouldn't be an issue. I think I might go for the 8w version as mountain biking we do get quite split up if it's a longer trail with everyone going at their own pace. Just got to convince my friends to get it now and do the course so they have the knowledge too 😁 Thanks both for the help

James: If you're planning to use it for hiking and so longer range than airsoft use then the UV-5R would be a better choice but its more complex to use than the 888s. Could also be worth buying the longer range NA-771 antenna. Duno the difference between UV-5R models so you'll have to check on that. As Roger stated, you'll be into HAM territory so licence will likely be required to be legal. More research I'm afraid... Just found this So you can put a face to the voice 😏

I wouldn't get either, unless you're planning to play at some huge milsim site. 2W (BF-888S PMR / 88E, or basic UV-5R) is fine for most sites. For hiking, well, maybe, but are you planning on talking to your buddy who's just down the trail (in which case, see above), or to make an emergency call for help? In which case I wouldn't give advice, but would point you towards a hiking forum. 8W and arbitrary frequencies might mess up someone's day inadvertently, and you're getting into the actual HAM arena there. Sorry, beyond my ken.

Sorry mate , I misunderstood. Crossover stocks exist. Hold right handed, use left eye. Not sure if I've ever seen one on a rif. TBH I think that consistent mount is more important than sight picture for airsoft. My mask keeps my face too high to use the sights on most rifles, but I know where it shoots when its shouldered.

Donation widget is now up and running on PlayAirsoft. Thanks in advance for all your support, and please: don’t feel obligated to donate. I will be looking into better ways of supporting the site than donations. Something that works both ways, as opposed to just “gimme me money”. Changelog: Improved homepage which is now faster and clearer Added newsletter sign-up throughout the site (for later) Created a dedicated map page with proper map controls Blog has now an RSS feed, for those who still remember what it is and how to use it Individual location and region pages load much faster now and look way better, especially on mobile Added a few new site attributes: Site limits (AEG, DMR, Sniper; in Joules) Pyros (allowed/limited) Bio BBs (required/optional) What’s next? Dedicated search page with advanced filtering based on already existing attributes Display the latest three site additions on the homepage to facilitate discovery

Hope these pics help. They are from the Baofeng software disc. Regards

So not exactly the next Alan Sugar then

Yeh 330 with a 370mm. You can wind them up too 450 with an Npas and power gas. Go with 6.03, 6.00 is no good for dirt and accuracy.

Hi @shadowfacex🖐 Have you got green ops. A smallish woodland site run by ucap(up close and personal).located in Liphook. A good site with lots of props such as downed light aircraft a helicopter front half,military vehicles and more being added. Good game scenarios. Site can be challenging but not too much walking back to respawn. Large carpark at the end of a half mile rough track. Large covered safe zone. Great down to earth and experienced marshalls who aim to keep the games flowing and fair. Also run by ucap is the ww2 d-day tunnels under portsdown hill portsmouth. Something a little different and a challenge. Cqb at its most brutal lol but great,atmospheric play. Again plenty of authentic props and a few surprises! A little difficult to find as you would expect for a secret bunker. 2.5 miles of bunker to explore.niiice! Regards

At this point I think I may be considered a broken record, but... you should be able to find plenty of sites without personal opinions on https://playairsoft.uk. Just type in “outdoor” into the search box and off you go. I’m currently working on a proper search page with filtering, where you’ll be able to filter by “site type” among other attributes. Hopefully that will help folks who are looking for something a bit more specific than a typical Sunday skirmish at their local pewpew site (have nothing against those!). If a local site isn’t on there, I’d love for you to submit any details on it you may have, so I could add it to the list.

Try the ‘suggest a tech’ section mite get better results ?

Mine went from average of 330 on abbey predator at 20 degrees C to 368 on the same gas at around the same temp. Internals are stock except brass supernub, modify tan rubber and G&p roller for the BCG. Be aware first shot of a fresh mag is high if you leave it to warm up. Also, with Joule creep, using .36’s gives the equivalent of 410-415 FPS on .2’s.

You can definitely get Kydex ones made https://www.kydexcustomsuk.com/extras/custom-smg-holster and there is a fabric one made by Leapers/UTG but I think it may have been discontinued. As mentioned above one of the universal adjustable ones may be your only bet, alternatively you could sling it and use a weapon clip to stow it on your belt.

One of the universal holsters with the velcro adjustment is your best bet. Or you might try thingverse for a 3d printable one. There was a shoulder holster rig but haven't seen one for sale for a while.

So finally got the ICS UKSR sniper rifle stock and added it to my KWA Kriss Vector GBB. So given that the LayLax components are made for the Krytac AEG and not the KWA GBB, I'm guessing this is the only custom LayLax GBB Vector in existence (?). 😁

Having completely re-wired a friends ICS L85 recently, I can say the wiring's pretty simple really. If you bridge the two spring-loaded plungers in the upper receiver, the gearbox will cycle. The trigger switch in the lower only serves to bridge those plungers with a disconnector attached for semi auto. Looking at the AB++ wiring diagram from Perun, I would attach both red wires (from the mosfet and to the motor) onto one of the plunger bars - either splice the wire and use the stock connector, or solder both wires directly. I would then attach the signal wire to the other plunger. Something like this: You should end up with wiring in line with perun's recommended setup

Re: the sighting issue. Try a larger rear ring sight, or moving the existing one backwards. They are supposed to work by not being focused on, i.e they should work better then an AK type that demands focussing on three different things i.e. rear sight/front sight/target. With a well set up ring/ghost sight you only see the front post and target. With practice, you only see the target. After 30+ years of rifles I can't use AK type sights as well, as close range focus issues limit use of the rear V sight.

Hi again all, so my first time paying airsoft in probably 20 years this past Sunday and it was definately an enjoyable experience. One thing that did kind of fuck me up though was the use of muscles in my legs and arse from crouching and chucking myself around a lot. Today the pain is an absolute bugger but hey ho. The exercise on its own is enough for me to actually proceed with taking it up properly, it has also pushed me into going for runs again. I kinda misjudged the weather too, supposed to be overcast and mild but it was bloomin hot and sunny so the sweat kinda fucked with my vision a bit ala the goggles, i have anti fog wipes but i misplaced them a few weeks ago when cleaning. I also noticed that using iron sights with a rearward rear sight (M4) was a right pain in the arse as the vision in my right eye was damaged due to stress and other crap at my previous job and im right handed. Swapped the M4 easily enough from right to left handed when needed (different sides of cover) but it didn't feel as natural, i guess practice will cure that. When i shoot my mates air rifles using a scope with my right eye its a no go, i have to use the left eye and go left handed and cocking the bolt handle is a pain but again hey ho. I tried the sights on a friends springer AK that he won at a fair and as the style of rear sight on an AK is in the middle and further forward its a lot easier getting a decent sight picture with my left eye holding the rifle right handed so it seems an AK style sight system (or a raised reflex or red dot of some sort) would also probably work. Anyway an enjoyable time all round.

I'll grab that as I spotted the selector plate as a weak point on mine. Saves me modelling it up myself. I eliminated the ambi selector as it never worked anyway.

Played a game many moons ago where we only had X number of ’real’ and low cap mags between each team(there was only 18 of us there) you could reload them BUT you had to take and hold one of three ammo dumps around the site to do so then once the mags where reloaded you had to Frank boff out of it . The game started out with the ammo dumps closed and you had to complete tasks to activate them , has to be said was bloody good fun !

That should be an Airsoft patch 😂

Nobody said that they were. Why bring it up? I'm fine for QC rejects being sold at full whack, thanks all the same. Useful information for potential purchasers. I can prove I have fresh apples (how do you like them?), but that doesn't prove that my oranges aren't rotten. Nobody said there was. What a bizarre thing to refute. Well, I know whose reputation and integrity I'll be trusting based on the quality of this contribution.

I hear Kicking Mustang beat the record. Guiness disputes it but his scope cam clearly shows the hit. 😄

Depends a lot on a few things really bud , budget/transportation/what’s going in the box and even just the look you want ? Budget , that’s the simplest to answer are you on a tight budget ? so you’d be looking at a cheap’n’cheerful single gun case from Fleabay or have you a mound of beer tokens to spend so a Pelli case is the best ? OR something in between . Transportation , are you putting it straight in to the back of your car and then straight out and on to a table in the safezone(so the fleabay one is good enuff) OR are you jumping out of the back of a Herc at 30,000ft and HALO’ing in to get to your gameday ? In which case I’d recommend a Pelli case ! Or something inbetween .😉 Whats going in the box , just the gun on its own or all the bells’n’whistles that go with it as well ? Is it going to be a box just for that one gun or as you get more (and you will ! 🤦‍♂️) you’ll be using the same case for all of them . The look you want , do you want something that looks quite incongruous(so it won’t stand out in public)or your not bothered if it looks like something Q would send to James Bond full of guns and gadgets ? 👍

Thanks for the info lads, PlayAirsoft looks like it has quite a bit of potential. I can see a few sites are missing from the North East so I'll suggest a couple of new locations.

So, not a review per se of their Alton (near Winchester) site, more a few notes on my day there today (22/8/2021) with myself + my son + his two cousins (12 + 11 + 13, and all good sensible boys taking their hits and playing fair, with the 11 year old being a "Silver" rental). To start with I have to say it's the best site I've been to yet in the almost year I've had since playing airsoft, my son really liked it and it's his new no1 site (we've played mixed indoor / outdoor and full on indoor CQB). I didn't take any photos as I was having too much fun, which is what it's all about, and the Google Streetview points all around the site pretty much show it as it is however it was a little more overgrown than shown and all the better for it (snipers could properly hide, one game not moving onto the next round when everyone though it was over as he was so well hidden) and there was lots of good green cover). It was a nice day in the end, mild and sunny, however I think once winter hits it could get quite muddy and you'll loose the leaves of the trees so maybe easier to spot others with more ambient light). There's definitely small stone / flint about here and there so I was very glad to have good "Alta Industries" knee pads which helped a lot with keeping low. It's a big site, the car park, safe zone and the various gameplay "zones" they have (most of which are in the forest). The briefing and chrono were both good, however the marshals were very good being nice and loud for all to hear them and pushing on teams that were slacking, plus friendly. Site shop pricing was very fair for ammo and stuff, but I'd say bring your own food as the variety offered was just book in advance pizzas and chocolate and crisps (but lots of chilled drinks). The toilets were clean and well looked after, for me a sign of somewhere that cares about their image. The safe zone was good, but be aware that only a third or so of the picnic benches are under cover so if it's a rainy day get there early to claim a covered one. I'd say a solid 8 to 9 out of 10, and will definitely be going back. Edit: I think a good part of the day going well was due to this guy... https://www.instagram.com/sheezdog/ .. who was the head marshal / managing the games, and on the day was always polite and friendly no matter how many lame questions I put his way. Edit 2: And keep your eyes out for an almost new PTS EPM 1 mag out there somewhere 😢 (I should never have let my son borrow it, they're so damned expensive, and to be honest a wind up high cap feeds my DE M904E just as well)

Ah yes I've had a few,but then again too few to mention The most memorable being two sound activated singing fish hidden in my stepsons bridal suite! Well I thought it was funny.😳😳 Regards

Having not seen more than a few minutes of his footage EVER, mainly because I detest so called Airsoft/YouTube celebs (as well as all the other non entity "celebs"), I'm guessing that his cheat calling & other defamatory comments about other players is actually all very hushed, spoken only for the benefit of the cameras he's wearing, & that he doesn't actually have the balls to "out" people to their faces ?, & face the consequences 🤕

Sometimes while watching these YouTube airsofters, I feel like I'm the only one who plays at a site/in a manner which deems full-auto up close to be poor etiquette!? To then make the amount of pain you've brought someone by doing this your video title, definitely sets the wrong tone. KM sprayed someone in the face with a Master Mike from literally a metre or two. He went on to claim it was an accident but it was something which was likely to happen when you blind/pre-fire corners with a grenade launcher at head height.

I'm in the hosp so trying to watch it with no volume, but it's immediately evident he's going for headshots, often purposely moving the cross hairs from centre mass up to head before pulling the trigger. Yep, he's a dick lol🤡

To be honest, I don't agree with whinging about being shot in the face. We don't use accurate guns, not even the sniper rifles are. Don't want to bleed from the chops? Wear full face or stfu. Banning people for headshots is, on the face of it, daft, but really he's been banned for breaching the waiver.

At that price I’d expect an asylum seeker trotting along next to me gently mopping my brow with a damp cloth ! Freely admit I sweat like a pig in a synagogue and I wear inserts in my glasses as well , so after yrs of trying all and sundry ways to solve the conundrum that is fogging I’ve settled on revision anti fog wipes , and in between each game give my glasses a ‘top up’ wipe . Yes I do still get a bit of fogging if I go static mid exertion BUT it’s never loosing vision bad AND as soon as I start moving again it clears immediately .
