Meh. Cannabis is nothing, it's CAKE you should be worried about. Others to be aware of are clarky caps and spunky backpack

Plenty of sites I have been to have mentioned its not ok and people will be removed. A few years back a whole team were kicked out of Battle lakes when Zed were running it because of of their guys had a joint in the carpark between games. In fairness it was mentioned in the brief so tough shit really. Most people are idiots anyway, drink and drugs heighten that so I would prefer it not on site.

Given your intro to this forum, I think you're just fishing for attention. Congratulations, you win a prize.

I've never been to an Airsoft site which sells alcohol. Please would you name a few examples? (seeing as you used plurality to imply it's the norm) In regards to smoking weed prior to/while playing, let's just say a large portion of players don't need any help being slower or dopier.

What a day yesterday! DMR in the morning and then remembered why I loved sniping in the afternoon. None of this bush wookie bollocks, fast moving and agile. Really appreciate my SRS again.

That's not the case for the majority of sites I've played at

A very similar topic was brought up about a month ago about “smoking drugs on paintball sites with children around” Its illegal (though there was a poster who kept coming back about it being possible to have it on prescription, and that they had prescription weed as opposed to THC,CBD) So let’s say that abuse of substances is illegal, and that whether legal or not that mind altering substances do not have a place in playing these types of games

Our insurance states that anyone under theinfluence of drugs or alcohol must be removed for safety...

Same as Jacob. It is sometimes mentioned. TBH, I think that your question needs a little more qualification. Plenty of older airsofters have to use opioids to play with enjoyment. The odd illicit hipflask does the rounds (or did pre-covid) at milsims, at least the winter games. No one bats an eyelid. I wont get too excited over someone smoking a joint at lunchtime any more than someone having a bottle of beer, but an insurance company would. I suppose that I am 17th century enough to believe in the sanctity of self regarding actions. Excessive toking has the potential to be non-self regarding for certain, but then so does excessive pain killer and cough medicine use.

A Sten as a first RIF is like your first girlfriend being a redheaded stripper called Tiffany. Sure, your sensible friends will say you're crazy, but secretly they'll be so, so jealous.

NAE is good example of alcohol being for sale during active sessions of Airsoft, though by the time you've found someone to shoot at you've walked the alcohol off.

As above. They rebrand the cheapest products they can source. Gas is about the only thing worth buying from them. Batteries may be OK but definitely stay away from their chargers. (Decent batteries include: Vapex, KongPower, Turnigy) Look at SkyRC for decent Li-Po chargers. Nuprol recently made a deal with WE to distribute in Europe/UK so some guns may OK but better to buy WE branded ones directly.

Nuprol don't make anything they just rebrand other manufacturers. You generally have no guarantee of build quality or it it's even fit for purpose when buying Nuprol.

Nasty stuff cake. They tempt you in with the sugary goodness, then you’re face to face with a Prague Tran Decisions decisions. Do I fix the Prague tram/Tran? Or are the prospects of ending up with a Prague Tran going to be better in discouraging the youth of today of experimenting with cake?

New handguard setup: I kind of like it black.. debating on whether or not to even get it cerakoted red now.

Not even close to your work of awesomeness but my humble contribution , my socom reimagined as an old school Diemarco C8.

No alcohol , no illegal drugs in the safety brief does not need translation.

@RostokMcSpoons I run my M904E with 11.1v LiPo, no problems at all, but only get to use auto at one site I go to but it's very fast and lays a hail of plastic. If you're only ever going to be on semi maybe 7.4v would be better, as if I spam the trigger on semi with an 11.1v you can feel the motor steadily getting hotter in the grip. Be aware though that Falcon MOSFET doesn't have all the bells and whistles like pre-cocking and braking, but I like three round burst rather than full auto so I'm not burning through BB's (lots of trigger pulls though on burst is pretty much the same as full auto anyhow).

yes they do, I brought a Cyma vss and got some AY mags from ebay and they work fine I think I read somewhere that the cyma vss is a rebranded AY but I could be wrong

Yeah can you elaborate? Can't find a single mention on any other forum or on Google search.

Patrolbase are one of the best 👍

Nuprol chargers generally have a very bad rep . Prone to failing and trashing batteries especially the 'plug it in and press start' type. For Lipo charging always get a good programable balance charger like a B6 or I use an Overlander one .

I wonder if insurance policy's elaborate in the wording exactly what "drugs" they mean. Someone playing that smokes, had a coffee or even a Mars Bar technically is "under the influence". Driving while under the influence law does state "illegal drugs" or "It’s illegal to drive with legal drugs in your body if it impairs your driving". Probably just got the tin foil hat on, but having dealt with companies in the past they will do everything to the point of lying to not have to pay up.

What more do you need?! 😂

The more I look at it the more I think it REALLY does look so fornicating cool . 😍 I’d say leave it black much better two color balance .👍

Hahaha oh so true , a mate actually pulled off the road in to a layby when the alert came through on his phone . He ordered 5 then contacted a friend who wanted them as well , who then text’ed back not even 10mins later to say he missed them as they’d sold out already ! So definitely ‘you snooze you loose’ when it comes to recoil MP5 mags ! 😳

My gawd its ugly. I love it!!

True but you'd still have the shank stuck in there. If you're lucky the cam behind the selector will be metal and you can get it out. If it's plastic then it's going in the bin with the screw shank! Either way, life's too short to try getting M3 screws out of fire selectors with a screw extractor!

I know a few sites I’ve been to in the past have commented on it during the safety brief with a zero tolerance policy.

Never thought I'd have to setup an email alert and jump right on it like some Supreme hypebeast shit for an airsoft product.

Hi, ALL! 👋 I could play this Sunday, so made a small video on my Skirmish field kit? 🤔👍 Doing the best with what I have, enjoy it for what it is! 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷

I thank you all for your input to my buying decision, you've been kind and patient with an old man trying to save the pennies and ounces 😋 I have now gone 'sod it' and bought a Viper tactical harness from my local online Airsoft shop's boneyard, it's black rather than the dark green I'd have liked, but for a tenner for a Molle belt I'm not going to be picky. I've also grabbed a super cheap universal belt holster to temporarily continue carrying my sickly HFC M92 (if I don't jump in for the TM Hi capa) for a game or two, which will let me test out the balance. Next I'll buy some Opsrey SA80 mag pouches as they're cheap as chips... And a utility pouch. Should be sorted, at least to the point that I'll know if this works for me! Edit: Purchased a couple of elastic strapped Osprey mag pouches, and one of those plastic shell m4 mag holders for my primary speedy access. My total outlay is now.... £31 For which I've got a Molle belt with v harness, fabric holster, 2 mag pouches and one mag holder. You might see it all on eBay in a couple of weeks 😋😁🥴

Totally agree , I find the kind of player that has ‘realistic’ plates in their carriers also generally wear the noise cancelling headphones so not only do they not feel the hit they can’t hear it either ! happened at Vendetta last wk , put a couple in to a player center mass he carried on when I pulled him for it he did appear genuine about not knowing , even came and apologised in the safezone . Another possible negative to being all tacticool ?

I've been after an original for a while and am in the same boat as I want one for my SVD patrolbase do some replicas that look right although don't adjust or anything. Vector optics apparently do a good one although they are sold out @Adolf Hamster is selling a Real sword PSO scope atm so may be worth giving him a shout I've also found them on kula tactical and am debating pulling the trigger and getting one from the motherland 😂 As I have the cyma VSS the dust cover is too high to use the PSO I already have and I've been toying with the idea of getting a Picatinny version so use on a rail mount

I’ve gone full circle, can’t underestimate how effective it is. Can easily carry 6 magazines, radio and bangs. Then just my Glock 19 and magazines on my belt.

Fooly ruggedised.

Finally got a good Eotech clone, so now I've finished my HK416A5 build. I'll maybe get the PPT X3 Magnifier Flip-To-Side, considering the current Magnifier I have is a X5 magnification.

The very best of reasons. Indeed, in the context of wanting to play with toy guns, there are very few bad reasons.

Welcome Aircanman, Unfortunately stock is low everywhere. There are many variants that look similar to the TRX-9 which are under £200 or even £150 so have a look what's available in the UK retailers. Patrolbase is another good place to look. CYMA and JG are good budget manufacturers. SpecnaArms: Some have reported problems but they are generally regarded good value. G&G are popular with some. I have no experience with LancerTactical so maybe someone else can comment. Stay away from Nuprol weapons, batteries, chargers. You can bet any 'special deal' from a shop including battery and charger will be more beneficial to the seller than you. If a gun comes with a battery and charger from the manufacturer then it will be enough to test and play a bit but if its going to be used regularly its always worth buying a good battery or two and decent charger. There are discussions about batteries and chargers on this forum that you can do a quick search to find.

See this:- Couple of points if I may. -Metals not all its cracked up to be. Yes it's more durable, more like the real thing etc but it's also heavier. Plastic guns are easier to wield through the day (especially for newbies). -Look for bundle deals where batts, chargers, mags etc included. Makes things easier and better value. -From personal experience, I bought a Lancer Tactical M933 as my first AEG. £100 and everything included - decent battery, decent charger, hi cap mag, cleaning rod. Many of the CYMAs also come with all the bits n bobs included and are generally excellent value.

A new PTS Masada GBBR (patrol base clearly did a clear out of the back of the store house). Could either be the a great purchase or a nightmare if something breaks as im sure they are no longer being made....

OMG CHEETARS PUNASHED!

Look mummy, I'm going to be a YouTuber.......or just send videos to my mates of me shooting them!

I imagine they got whatever would fit in a a clapped out Transit van with ROI plates.

Moral of the story: don’t deal with pikeys and if you do, don’t expect the police to do shit.

Unfortunately Valentine is right, recently a friend had some very rare gear scammed of him , went to the police with email print outs , screen grabs , the guys real name , address , phone number the lot , there response ? F**k all was there response ! BUT when he said fine I’ll go and sort it my self , which we did luckily with no drama (the guy absolutely shit him self when we very politely AND non aggressively introduced our selves on his door step) they turned around and basically threatened him with arrest if anything went wrong ! Now I know the police are absolutely swamped but there attitude to this was quite frankly unf**king believable , and they wonder why so many in the public are turning against them ?
