Damn right I'm a dinosaur, just ask your mum 😜

Obligatory...

I heard from a reliable source who doesn’t want to be named , they ran out of bananas and the IT Dept quite . But you didn’t hear it from me , savvy ? 🤫

Funny that, cus I’ve seen so many little snots like you come then go in airsoft.

Raise you a Dragon 64 This is where I started circa ‘82 😳

But with the magazine where God intended it.

If it's good enought for Rolf......

Spectrum? Amiga? Bah humbug. You need proper old school... TRS-80 Model 1 complete with Star Trek game (gasp at the amazing graphical power of 128x48 pixels, available in both black and white!) and even better, the Video Genie ... which I learned to program on ... fake wooden sides!

In the past I've used a spider tool holster for things like pistol style grenade launchers or extra pistols.

If you actually received something that shoots a BB when you pull the trigger 9 times out of 10, I'd call that a win. That sounds like it's "working fine" to me. Sorry to be harsh, but if you want an unconditional right of return and new gun performance, then new guns at new prices are available. On the issues, a selector (not tappet) plate costs £5 delivered, if that's the problem. It might be, I've had a similar safety issue when changing tappet plates, but the solution was to bin off the trigger-block piece so that the trigger can be pulled back freely in safe, but without moving the tappet plate off of safe and allowing a connection to be made. Cost, zero. You won't know until you have a look. If the motor adjustment screw is actually missing, I'd expect the motor to be too low and sound like a bag of angry wasps with spanners, if it was engaging at all. Are you sure that it's missing? It may be a tiny hex grub screw, deeply recessed. Easy enough to check: take the base off the pistol grip (expect the motor shim disc to drop out, stupid little things that they are) and check if there's a screw projecting inside it enough to push on the shim. Dunno about the mosfet, I consider them to be just another thing to go wrong. You could rewire back to standard wiring and flog the mosfet on as "working fine", right?

You don't even know you're born until you've been thrashed to death by your dad, got up before you went to bed, then walked to work in the snow, 5 miles there and back, uphill both ways.

Blue Dragon, BBC Micro, Acorn, ahhh the golden age of home computing.

Those wee basic compact toolkits you get out of B&M, Home Bargains etc that contain handy wee screwdrivers, Allen keys and a basic bit and driver set. Or a multitool. Great for working on airsoft guns. Camping/outdoor water bottles/food containers/Billy tins/sporks etc, handy for sustainance on game days. Shemaghs, useful for multiple purposes; face and neck protection/warmth/impromptu cape, makeshift picnic blanket, small blanket for for a kip, makeshift work mat for stripping a gun, ad hoc towel/wipe, etc. Big camping backpacks, useful for transporting compact RIFs and your gear on a motorcycle. Sweeties of all sorts of kinds for a quick energy boost. Foam camping mats, for saddos like me who like to make fake sci fi armour... Boiler suits or flight suits, as above. Velcro - nuff said. Thermal t-shirts/leggings for cold days. Sure there's more tat I can't think of right now.

17 eh? What's your job? I'm late sixties and I bet I could outwork you all day long. Don't bother being honest cause you still got baby eyes. You know nothing of real life yet but you will learn. 😉 Regards

Perhaps that's why they're struggling...

Nah, not really, I go for security over quick draw. Leg panel, a piece of Kydex formed into a tunnel and inserted into the molle, and a strap over the outside holds it in place snugly. I'm barely even aware that I'm wearing it. Without DethKannon: With DethKannon:

Did you buy it here, & from who ?, I ask as a lot can be gauged from people's history/feedback, kinda things that might have set off alarm bells in more experienced players. But ultimately you bought a used, & probably fairly old gun, with a "sold as seen" type disclaimer, depending on what you paid, which should dictate whether it's worth pursuing further, or whether to suck it up & spend a wee bit more on correcting what appear to be low cost issues.

A stock will help with aiming but again...shotgun. It's got reasonable range I suppose but I only really intend on keeping for..close encounters

You, Sir Are aff yer fcuking tits mad! 😂

Ooooh I love vector graphics... Battlezone and star wars being my fave arcade games... I always aspired to owning the Vectrex. Does it live up to expectations? Just to show my love for vectors I wrote a version of Asteroids in 'Scratch' a few years ago... https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/245563 I did a rough version of Star Castle too.

OK well I will see your portal and raise you a vectrex games console from milton bradely games(mb) I have one that still works and it was,I believe,the first all in one games machine with its own black and white screen.

Its from a game called portal. Well infact it's portal 2. What a game..... Just to add, Zeroin has actually disappeared from Google search.

Allen key set. Gaffer tape Elastic bands Paracord Cloth tape/finger tape

Twix Also... Zip-lock freezer bags Velcro tape / spots

Prostitutes,guns and takeaways is a good.place to start. Never hurt me...oops gotta go wife's just got in........

Yup. The Antikythera mechanism.

Yeah I'm pretty capable. I'm not 20 anymore, but I can move around the field and get the job done without running around like a complete boob end. Thanks I'll be careful what I "blow my wad on" for sure 😆😆

@AgentofEvil, how fit are you mate ?, I ask as a fellow "gentleman of gravitas", & do you play full on, as in getting stuck in when the whistle blows for game on, or are you more in to the safezone posturing & posing, & keep the physical side of the gameplay to a minimum ?. Definitely no offence meant, but most of the chunky monkeys on sites, myself included, are past their peak with regards to fitness, & all too often those same guys who choose to kit up in the gucci looking full plate carriers etc are the same guys you see in the safe one at lunchtime stripped down to their baselayers, bathed in sweat & a funny shade of purple 🥵. If you feel your fitness is up to it, fill yer boots, but if you've got even the slightest doubts, think carefully before you blow your wad on a load of kit thats unnecessary for having fun in Airsoft, even if it does look cool as fuck😎

This is what I started on good old C16

Pretty sure Zero In is running on one of these

Funny looking compoota 🤔

When running my vsr or dmr I have a weapon link which I've attached to 90° adaptor on my mp9 so it stays flat to the body. https://bombupairsoft.co.uk/products/fma-weapon-link-retention-molle-dark-earth?variant=31913145434215

I use flash mags and have owned a G&G manual drum for a while. The drum is convenient and being mechanical it's almost indestructible, but it weighs a metric fuck ton (it's 2kgs fully loaded). That's the main reason why I sold it. Winding it is easy enough once you get used to it. Can recommend both systems because they work really well, just be aware of the newer lonex mags because I've seen quite a few die (the little anti reversal springs seem softer than what they used to be).

Not necessarily, for folk who really arent tech savvy, and how often do you squeeze the trigger with safe on?

Talking of cosplayers and making skill here's one that shows how they get such close shaped fitting items Kamuicosplay

I have a G&G L85, easily the worst rif I own. Heavy, unergonomic, and unreliable. It lasted two short games and the ETU shat itself. Budget in a Perun at the least I'd say. On the plus side, it's a sort of favourite. For milsims it's a decent replica. I notice that my ex-infantry pal who fields one all the time, has no probs at all, re crap ergonomics. Being airsoft, the 'it's cool' factor is a major consideration.

I imagine that some enterprising chap or chapess will be in local attendance, and willing to administer the appropriate jab for a hefty fee. That seems to be the way with the tests required for flying. Damn good question from a cost front alone! If one of your party is disinclined to be jabbed or whatever, the situation may become decidedly interesting and expensive. Of course post Brexit we also require medical insurance, and my AA European membership is only for a couple of days. After that it's extra. Its all a lot more expensive and complicated these days for various reasons.

in defense of the seller, many folks in this hobby aren't that into the techy side of things and might genuinely not notice/think a big deal about little external issues let alone the myriad gremlins that could be going on inside.

I was worried for a sec that the actual goggles were cheap chinese shite. Nicely done. There's one thing I'll happily be called a gear snob about every single day and that's eye pro.

It really is, but you can make your own! Cheap fan goggle rip offs + decent full seal goggles. I did mine for £50, £55 if you count the 10m of sticky back foam I now own. You could also make your own speed controller and such, but I find pulling the fan off of a a cheap pair results in a neater look.

Young in mind old in body that's me. Lol Regards

Now normally I’m definitely not a “guns done !” sort of player as I’m always want to change this’n’that with my guns , but after getting an ‘old school’ red dot from these very forums(very BIG shout out to @kistofurryfor it) I honestly can say I’m really happy with it now and can’t see anything I want different on it . Now that’s nice .

Zero one is down? I suppose the one good thing about that place is that it keeps the fuckwits away from here

I do like the idea of flash mags only down side I find is if your behind cover and priming your mag from a distance it does look if your ‘lobbing off’ an invisible friend ! 😳

E&l 104 I believe. Finally found a scope setup I like for it and overall got it comfortable for me. Ive been wanting to fully modernise one of my aks for a while and I'm happy with the result. Also the cmore makes for a good poor mans kobra >->

Slim profile AR foregrips from Brownells for my Cyma XM177a2 , happy chappy now ! 😁
