I always liked the more hi-tech stuff.

I’ve still got one of these sitting in the cupboard In perfect working order too 😂 Dug it out during lockdown 1.0

What actually happens when you get into airsoft is that after spending hours researching and deliberating what to buy, when you finally get your first RIF you think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Then, exactly five seconds later, you go on the internet and start to look at even 'better' guns to buy. This process never stops, even when you say to yourself that you don't need another gun as the other ten you bought do the exact same thing.

:sudden desire for a bowl of spaghetti:

Looks like this mate It doesn’t look it, that’s about two inches deep

Ooohh check out all the silver spoon in the mouth brigade ! When I was a lad this was what I had to play with AND me dad had to work a 25hr day down the pit to get the extra money to be able to afford it !

My go at making something like a colt lightning using an hfc m10.may do more with the grips yet.

Box mag on a M4?

Years ago I knocked this up out of an old taser holster. I cut the back section out, removed the foam inside and ran the strap through the belt attachment. It held the gun secure, but reholstering it was nowhere near quick. Unfortunately a few hours after this was taken I went arse over tit and landed on the gun knackering it and only got round to replacing it a few months ago

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.

LOL, I need to get my arse down to specsavers, I thought it was the underside of someone's mower? 🤓

But with the magazine where God intended it.

Ibuprofen

Thermos flask and a super soaker , you fill the thermos with boiling water , you then pour that in to the super soaker and it’s an Airsoft flamethrower ! 😉

I did. 🤣 Mrs. Eezer is a bit baffled by all this airsoft stuff, she thinks it's just me being a big bairn pretending to be Action Man running about with pretend guns etc *not to mention yet another expensive hobby*, however she's pretty impressed by the outfit so far.

I was so posh I had this... Yours on eBay "in pristine condition" for the bargain price of £600 !!! (plus £15 p&p!) (That's not me trying to bag that ridiculous amount for it by the way, it's just one of the first things I saw when searching for a pic)

Spotted this simple idea on a Korean Airsoft website when looking for a tip on one of my RIF’s Pretty simple and a doddle to make, the only painful bit was hot gluing the strings inside to help slow down the bb’s (who’d have thought Hot Glue can burn ya!) 9mm thick interlocking foam floor mats, the type used for the nursery play area - less than £10 on Amazon Double lined the back face opposite the Chrono, then approx 200m of string suspended from the top to snare the bb’s Should save the TV from stray shots 😂

I honestly can't imagine how you could pay that much to buy every conceivable spring that might possibly suit, then throwing most of them away. Well, if you can get the measurements, https://springsandthings.me.uk/ is a decent source for small springs.

That's a really nice job, it feels spot on. I contributed some of networking and robot AI to XPilot a few... uh... decades ago. The vector will rise again!

Wait... is everyone here a 1980s 8-bit nerd? 😮 I started on a GlaDOS system with the integral mobile power source. Friday night rules, here's a cover of Poker Face performed on piano, guitar, ukulele, table-thump, and stylophone, entirely conceived, played, sung, filmed and edited by one teenager with a potato-cam.

This is what I started on good old C16

Electric guns are a thing of the past for me now. I’ve committed to hard mode. I’ve run plenty of black gas through my MP7 in winter, never ever in summer. Nothing has failed yet, but if it does C’est La Vie

But where are the previous owners 🤔

Yeah…..like “ come back and fight me you coward!”

Whole load of memories just came flooding back

So that’s how Minions came to be 🧐

I have one of these for my mp7 and I can tell you for sure it doesn't work with my mp5k for reasons outlined by @Rogerborg. I've tried working out a way to do it and it just won't.

You, Sir Are aff yer fcuking tits mad! 😂

Haha. Shades of monty there lol

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.

That sounds like scotty on the starship enterprise. 😆

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

Read the op's replies, it's likely he's US based, & therefore not covered by most of the stuff you've mentioned 🤔

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 ? 🤫

as with all information of this variety the first question that should be asked is "do people who aren't trying to sell me stuff say the same thing?"

It's incredible how people have used this exact video in presentations and now the "whirl valve" has assimilated into common knowledge when it is just a gimmick from G&G, the guys that have been historically known to make dog poo poo pistols.

Oof, yes, I'd forgotten about that. Well, all law abiding travellers are required to follow all the laws. Lot of spare dingies on the beaches around Dover, I'm just saying.

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.

Here we go Jacob. Straight from the pferd's mund as it were. I received this from the German Customs Directorate. '...travellers from the UK to Germany or through Germany required a weapons permit issued by the locally competent weapons authority. This is usually the authority locally competent for the area where the hunters or shooters stay in Germany or - if the transit only - where they enter Germany. There are no simplifications applicable in such a case. From a customs point of view this is a temporary import, provided the goods (firearms) leave the EU again. There are no import fees on that. An oral declaration to customs is sufficient. Here you can find a list with weapons authorities in Germany:' https://www.nwr-fl.de/liste-der-waffenbehoerden-seite.html I discussed my travel plans with Mrs Pith Helmet. She is of the opinion that Berget is likely to be extortionate to attend. She has attempted cheap(ish) road travel in Sweden previously and recommended Border War in Czech Republic as an alternative if driving. It does occur to me that there must be plenty of milsims in Europe. Attending as a group may be a lot of fun. There are plenty of Polish and Portuguese players at my local site. Attending a game as a British team with local interpreter might be something to attend.

So, heres what we have at present. Sone additions to be made to the chest piece and need to sort the shoulder pieces, however it's getting there.

I have the top one. Is good. That was easy! NEXT!!

I made a mess trying to cook some food :P

Just done my old school mag pulls using paracord, tie wraps, and olive green duct tape

I was trying to buy smallest possible torch with integrated grip to use on pistols. I found one made by UTG but nowhere to buy anythere outside US. So I decided to make my own. The hardest part was to find smallest possible torch with instant on light and highest possible lumens. The one I got is a size of AA battery and has real output of 650 lumens. Not bad for such tiny EDC torch. Next step was easy with bit of help from thingiverse and my limited cad skills I manage to produce this it's tiny c.8x6cm!! tested on the game day and was better than expected perfect pistol torch with grip

An aimpoint extension to make the Compm2 look more like a 3000/5000 for that old skool look Cheap but of alu tube (30mm diameter) trimmed to right length and sprayed black. Uses the rear scope ring shared with the back of the compm2. With the lens protector on it looks OK to me. Before: After:

I actually think they should double the minimum age. No under 25's, at least a three day induction course, six months of banks statements and a permission slip signed by your wife/partner. If you're not married/living with your partner, you can't play. Save the space for those of us who have a legitimate reason to leave the house at 6am on a weekend.
