In the interests of transparency, BigShow messaged me to have this thread removed. I declined as it is within your rights as members of an open forum to air your grievances and recommendations of retailers freely. After looking, it turns out the email address used for BigShow is Registered to an "ignite tactical" which seemed a little suspicious in how similarly named it was to the company he's defending. Sure enough, they appear to be sister companies: I'm seeing double here! This takes me back to the time when the dude from Cornwall was having a conversation with a secondary account that he also controlled to try and promote his airbrush painting company 😅

Op as others have said. Sniping in Airsoft is an expensive and mostly unrewarding task, compared to the joys of a nicely turned, entry level AEG with a decent hop rubber and quality ammo. Budget around £500 to build a sniper that will be worth using and about 3p per BB. So many people buy a sniper, use it and then we see it for sales on the forums at a knocked down price the following month I myself have a sniper which i have used for about 1/3 of one game over the last year. If you are basing your want to snipr off videos from Youtube, well.. sadly, they are 99% bullshit. Also the people that film them, are usually IRL cunts.

Hi, sorry about this and that you have all had to wait for so long. I have just cleared all of the backlog of patch orders today. Not much of an excuse, just busy enough to not check the section in the backend that contains all of the orders and emails not being sent to me when someone has ordered a patch (now fixed). You should all have yours by tomorrow (or the day following at the latest). My apologies also for the lack of responses to your mentions in threads. If you wish to get a hold of me please don't hesitate to use the forum email or PM me. I typically check both of these at least once a week but both do get a fair amount of spam. @Jedi_Master got a message to me earlier last week.

What annoys me? People that get upset that other people aren't having fun properly.

Yes great bit of kit. I used mine for the night game at nae. Jeez! With the tracers,muzzle flash and 23rps from the badger, I lit up three baddies and they screamed like all the demons from hell were upon them. Great fun 👍 Unfortunately found out they were friendlies.Doh!!! Regards

If the claim has no substance to it, then they've been pulled for completely unrelated reasons, and so George-Paul-Ringo would have no quantifiable loss, or cause of action. Unless there is substance to the claim. In which case... he'd have no cause of action.

Lol, we knew BigShow was involved all along, what a wanker 🤣

Hey all. I'm looking to go to my first ever Airsoft event as a rental new guy. I figured after reading a fair bit online, that this is the best way to get started for a few months before committing if I get the Airsoft bug. Ideally it would be cool to meet some people here and join with them rather than turning up alone and knowing no one. I'm in Bedfordshire, but happy to travel within reason to a decent friendly site. Would be great to hear from you and see what we can arrange. Cheers Buck

First thought: uh not bad 3 for.... And then i read the description....face palms all round

First question: have you actually played airsoft? We generally recommend buying an electric carbine or rifle as a first gun, and if you're in the UK, renting first to get a UKARA or equivalent defence so that you can buy something realistic looking.

This thread does seem odd. Tbh as long as what other people do does not affect my weekend / game day then fill your boots. All I ask is you adhere to the rules and take your hits and im happy. Outside of that, if you wanna collect guns, patches, wear a hoody, run high caps, run low caps or whatever, its your hobby, if you're happy then who am I or anyone else to judge Edit - And in regards to the thread title (not that the comment was aimed at me but its currently a slow work day...) Why do we need to understand? If it makes the person happy doing X, Y or Z...then it shouldn't matter really

Funnily enough, they explicitly exclude toy guns. The only thing they'll ship is "low powered air weapons" (but not imitations). I know that Post Office Counters are happy to accept airsoft guns, and are even happy to sell >£100 compensation for them that Parcel Force say they won't honour, so in the event of something going wrong it would be a merry old mess to sort out. This is why I ship with whoever's cheapest, well packaged (so they can't wreck it), and marked as "sporting goods" (because if they lose it, how are they going to prove otherwise?)

Yeah but that would take effort, fuck that

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/gas-powered_1/tokyo-marui-mk18-mod1-gbb-35rds-mag_i30425 obviously an investment

G&P RIS Rail and G&P scope mount fit fine. A saddle bag 7.4v Lipo can be fitted in the front RIS however I might need to shorten the wires slightly for it to look a bit better. *edit - A suystema TW5 full stock will fit with a bit of dremeling or sanding.

My "stuff" was getting everywhere, so I picked up a cheap secondhand bookcase and turned it into a Airsoft storage unit 🙂

The same store you pulled that picture from sells an aluminium replacement. http://shop.kic.tw/portal_c1_cnt_page.php?owner_num=c1_33589&button_num=c1&folder_id=9228&cnt_id=213897 If it's the gun I think it is, it's WAY our of production now and parts are going to be hard to come by. You could also try dropping Luke at Negative Airsoft (https://negativeairsoft.com/) a message and see if he has one or knows where you could get one.

Thanks Shadowface. It just seemed silly to go and buy a bunch of kit and then not stuck with it if I didn't enjoy myself. Also I'm hoping that this way I can meet more people and ask questions and advice.

Airsoft sniping is not what you think it is. Follow the advice from everyone above. Also to add, speak to other airsofters when you do go, we are friendly!

Yeah would recommend what @Rogerborg said. Sniping might look "cool" when you see it on youtube or fb videos, but its an aquired taste and it takes those guys that film a whole day / weekend to get enough "hit" footage to fit a video a few mins long.

I think it would be because its cheap as chips, easy to get hold of and available in pretty much every size under the sun.

It happens more often than I'd like but it's part of the game unfortunately.

The atmosphere completely changed in the afternoon, much more relaxed and everyone just seemed to be enjoying it more.

Mmm, I have a concern about some teams or squads who are more into the brotherhood-of-bros, dress-up, socialising or LARPing aspects, rather than just playing airsoft. And it's great when the folk who aren't really there to play airsoft pack up and push off in the afternoon, I find the games tend to get more fun. Of course, not all teams. If you're reading this, I'm almost certainly not referring to you.

Do I care ? No not really as long as it’s not effecting me .😉

Same shit, different box.

Sadly in the court of public opinion a gun-shaped-object is a gun-shaped-object.

There are a fair few bolt action rifs on the market which are gas driven but as Ed mentioned you will be better served looking at spring powered rifs unless you are looking to use hpa.

You don't need to put UKARA number on the package if sending within the UK. ParcelForce48 are the only courier service that will officially carry replica firearms but claiming on a lost package with one may throw up a lot of obstacles. I've sent a few over the years marked as 'Sports Equipment' without a problem but it surely can happen. Meeting half way is an option if you ensure it remains completely covered at all times. If you can meet him at an airsoft venue that would be the best choice. You could also explain the use and care of the AEG at the same time.

Couldn’t. Resist.

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Hi, ALL! 👋 Decided to make this video after today playing. 🤔 Doing the best with what I have, enjoy it for what it is! 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷

You can replace the trigger contacts multiple times for the price of the cheapest mosfet. It's not something to worry about.

MP5 won't fire? Procedure: sling it behind, draw Glock and engage threat, When behind cover, working parts to the rear, swear at it, throw away and get G36!!! (Sorry couldent help it)!!!

People who turn up to a site week in week only to spend every minute whinning and bitching. If the site is that bad then why come in the first place?

I always thought the single fire in and out of buildings was more about giving players a fair chance to move and break in or out of a building.

It seems like our firearms coppers are well aware that most Realistic Firearms out there are actually Realistic Imitation Firearms. The folk that get (rightfully) slotted are those who are actually shooting live rounds. When gun-Dibble rocks up and finds some Joey giving it "I'll shoot yers, I'l do it, I'll shoot all of yers", they seem inclined to say "ORLY? Have a beanbag to the ballbag, and let's find out". Well done to them for that.

this is a fair point, although tbh it's mainly due to the inevitability of your average airsofter failing to comprehend rule 1, as evidenced by the number of point-blank hosings that occurr outside of buildings. tbh i can kinda get that one, for some folk its as much about getting out of the house away from spouse/kids and having a catch-up with mates. kinda like a social club mixed with a fashion show and a gym session. as long as sites don't mess around more eager players to cater to them i can't see the harm. most often it seems places just start the game and people can show up late if they want.

see i can understand that, you see the reverse with folk in black outdoors, it's just the crossover between majority indoor/outdoor players having a dabble at the other side but can't be bothered buying new kit just to play indoors/outdoors. cmon man, moaning about things we don't like is a national institution

"We admit it, TM Hi-Capa's are far superior"

It's almost complete. I need to swap the wilcox for a black one, dremel the BCM gunfighter foregrip to fit on the rail properly (PMM rails), figure out how to get a battery in that stock, get a better torch, and modlite buttons for the torch/dbal. Total cost on this gun so far is around £3k With a warhead motor and good shimming it's quite tap tap tappy.

Permission to come aboard folks? After spending the last couple of weeks reading all 350 odd pages of this thread, yes 350 odd, my browser crashed somewhere around the mid 100’s. So I thought well it won’t do any harm to read everything from the start again so I don’t miss anything 😉 I managed to pick up my MWS from @GothicGhost on here on the 10th August, along with a few other bits he had as well. You can probably excommunicate him from this thread now 🤣 This is a pic of it as he had put it back to stock and in the advert: I have since upgraded it and added @davegolf’s awesome SixG Super nub (https://sixgunsmithing.com/2018/03/11/sixg-super-nub-for-marui-gbbr/) and have his HSB (https://sixgunsmithing.com/2019/07/07/sixg-hsb-high-speed-buffer/) on order as well. I also swapped to the Modify Tan bucking and the inner barrel to the G&P Marui MWS V 330mm one that I picked up with it. With a few other external mods and another 3 mags, it now looks like this and I love it Thank you for everyone that has contributed to this amazing thread so far!

Whatever's local to you, as long as it doesn't suck. I've been to both Worthing Airsoft and S.W.A (Sussex Woodland Activities) and both were great for different reasons. I haven't been to Dogtag yet, though I've heard mixed opinions on it. I'll still go and see for myself, but that's the point; I think whatever is local to you is good, as long as you try it and enjoy it.

Holster for my h8r

That is quite possibly the dumbest, laziest, wrongest thing I've heard of a site doing, and it's up against some quite stiff competition.

A mate needed a thumb-saver reloading thingy for his Hi-Capa mags. 10 minutes in Fusion 360, and 40 minutes on the printer later, it worked out pretty good.

Finally finished my integrated goggle/mask combo with fans for indoor CQB

It's a clever little thing that anyone can make and vastly improve his loadout's concealment properties, thanks for sharing! A bit of an old school method as nowadays people can just use molle loops to the same effect, but it's something anyone can craft on the field, given they have some twine/elastic bands/zip ties (everyone should have at least 2 of these 3 things when playing). On a side note, I was watching a documentary on Vietnam's resistance to the Mongolian invasions in the 12th century and it mentioned a guerrilla manual wrote by one of Vietnam's finest generals at the time. Doc also mentioned that said manual has been used during the more recent Indochina/Vietnam war (successfully, judging by the current name of Saigon), so this ring's design could be much older than the first ghillies! Edit: it appears that this manual is still being conserved in one of the Vietnam's government buildings, ready to be used again shall the need arise. At the time of the Mongolian invasions, this general made a copy for each citizen, it's also full of schematics and drawings for those who couldn't read. That is some serious prepper shit if you ask me
