Isn’t that what shock cord is for? Throw BFG Wait a few seconds Bang Tug Elasticated shock cord pings BFG straight back to you Simple

I resent having to buy AA batteries nowadays

I would risk assess the chance of me being caught vs the saving on some nods. No, No .. I would 100% buy it. There is no question around it.

If you shoot in your own back garden, and BBs leave your private property, you're already breaking the law. Imagine the fun Plod will have with you if you're shooting a gun completely out on public land, two-tone or not. Find someone who has a big garden and get permission to shoot entirely within their property. Or find your local site and ask them nicely to try out your gun on their range. If they think you'll become a player with them, I'm sure they'd be happy to let you. Please

as above, please don't use an airsoft pew, 2-toned or not, in public, no matter how secluded a spot you think you're in. that's not the sort of publicity our hobby needs. take it to a proper airsoft site, it's much more enjoyable when the target is allowed to shoot back.

Please tell me you're not serious

Hi fella. Just one word really. DON'T! don't do it mate for all our sakes.👌 Regards

Kids today don't know how well off they are. I was orphaned at a young age and raised by a pack of hyenas. No toys, no posh house, facing starvation scouring for food, but boy, did we have some laughs.

By which I mean, 75 m/s / 250 fps. Sure, that's hucking a massive steel cylinder slug (63% more bullet per bullet), but it's under 350fps so that's site legal, Reddit said so. Ian McCollum / Gun Jesus has been having a play. Bit of a chat about them: And at the (point-blank) range. A lot of the fun is playing the game of "Well, if I made one, and I could, I'd make it better in this, that and the other ways...". Since they're smoothbores, not spinning the slugs, and there seems to be a hard 75m/s limit on the velocity, using steel BBs than tumbling cylinders seems like an obvious tweak. One interesting point from the chat is that the "barrel" is just there to stop the slugs from smashing into the coils, so arguably you could fling 100J of undersized "unbarreled" steel while saying "not a firearm". 🤔

Yup I really like magazines… TM based RPK plus age appropriate sidearm. The garnish is because I wore it with full Russian kit including Leshy. Players initially thought they were engaging a sniper… and then regretted trying to get closer. Happy days at Elite Worthing. Very fine AEG to use, maximum fun. Could put mesh over the lens of course. 😁

Poundland mate. £2 for 20 kodak branded batteries and tbh they do last. Her indoors uses them for(haha close your filthy mind Mr Tackle)indoor lights. Regards

I'm still waiting to be offered one of the specnas that were half inched from the curtain sided lorry a while back. 😉 I would decline offer anyway and try to convince seller to unburden their tortured souls and tread the path that leads to a cleansing of conscience and the cop shop lol 😉 Or not.... Regards

Couple of yrs ago at the NAE ‘car boot’ a couple of young very suntanned guys with issue haircuts flogging a shitload of Blackhawk! Gear still in the packaging , put a nice bundle together must have been clocking 300🦑’s worth retail , asked how much he said 200 so I came back with “200 ? that’s a bit steep does Lizzie know you’ve been raiding her store cupboard ?” . “Tell ya what call it a ton and I won’t have a clue where or when I bought it all , work for you ?” AND he just grinned and said “sounds like a deal to me !”😉 like I said 90% of squaddies will have the fillings out of your teeth if they think they could flog em ! 🤣🤣🤣

LOL, ain't we all, we're quick to put the boot in but I wonder how many would have bought kit if the price was right ? Obviously that's a rhetorical question & we're all gonna take the moral high ground in disgust 😏

I think i'm mostly gutted i didn't get the chance to buy some discounted NODs

Someone shared this on my springer page. Thought some of you may like to see it. I want a fortune teller.

This. If you don't ask or ignore them saying no you'll be committing armed trespass, which IIRC means 5 years of trying not to drop the soap in the showers

Hello all! Hope you're all keeping well Surprised to see TG are still having issues with delivering to the UK! I had a new Specna E19 Daniel defense sent to me from Gunfire a few weeks ago, and it only took 4 days door to door (on an expired UKARA no less! 🤣) Much better than this time last year!

I present this pretty but VASTLY over priced piece

Two-tone is irrelevant to the offence. It's Firearms Act 1968, Section 19: "A person commits an offence if, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse (the proof whereof lies on him) he has with him in a public place [...] an imitation firearm." Note: not realistic imitation. Here's an example of a conviction for simple possession of a bright orange springer pistol which even the arresting officer conceded was a "toy". Per the Sheriff's comments, the bar for what constitutes a reasonable excuse is set low in principle. In practice, it's a complete lottery and you may find yourself in front of anti-gun (or poorly advised) judiciary who aren't minded to think that your excuse - of "want to" - is reasonable. You may get away with "boys will be boys", or you may be looking at 6 months / £400 and a criminal record with a big red "FIREARMS" trigger-word in it. Also bear in mind that the interpretation of "in a public place" is very broad: “"public place” includes any highway, road within the meaning of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 and any other premises or place to which at the material time the public have or are permitted to have access, whether on payment or otherwise". The chap above was on the steps of the bank, technically on their private property, but considered public due to the general right of access. I've seen arguments made that the direct route from a property boundary or gate to domestic front doors is also public for this purpose, absent signage withdrawing the implied right of access. tl;dr - don't. Entirely on secure and ideally secluded unambiguously private land only, with the land-owner's permission. If you're travelling somewhere to shoot (on private land) then be prepared to show evidence of that.

I'm currently working on a Dutch issued C8a1 (flat top) have had the barrel made with the flared end too.

I've got a boxed set of Tremors DVDs somewhere! It's old though, it only goes up to the Wild West one...

So got myself a dummy Peq15 for the look Then a day later, a polymer NGAL as I thought I may as well have a working box in there lol

Given the pay and conditions, and that the "Armed Forces Covenant" is three empty words that mean absolutely nothing to anybody with an ounce of power of influence, I can't say that I blame them. It's the taxpayer picking up the tab, but in the context of MOD typists getting gibsed £60K for claiming carpal tunnel hurties while squaddies get a couple of grand for having a hand blown off (and only if they can prove it was their wanking hand), I can't say that I begrudge it that much.

Yeah, it's tricky. Maybe develop a taste for watching Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down in strict rotation. so the neighbours get used to the noise of shooting In all seriousness, if you only let loose a burst of shots during daylight hours, with something soft to absorb the BBs so it's just the noise of the gun... I don't think the neighbours could complain. After all, it's not much louder than someone doing a bit of DIY with a hammer and an electric drill (at the same time, granted!). If you can time your occasional shooting with them being out, all the better. As for safety, it's good practice to keep it unloaded. Gun safety is something you want to always aware of so it becomes ingrained by repetition, so you don't f' it up when you're around other people. It's only too easy to casually pick up your gun, squeeze the trigger and have a BB bouncing off the walls. Or through a window. So at the least make sure the battery is out, mags are empty. And after shooting clear the gun with a couple of extra shots with no mag in, so there's definitely not one 'up the spout'... because that can catch anyone out.

Not just squaddies, civil servants too. When my work closed an audit of the fun cupboard revealed 2 handguns missing. Although there might have been other things which fell out of the skip 😉

Legally you can shoot in your own property but if someone calls the police it can still be a pain to explain the situation to them. Maybe put music or TV volume up a bit to mask the noise. Not too high of course. Generally airsoft guns don't make that much noise. (A suppressor doesn't make any noticeable difference)

A mighty haul.

I think thats either surplus TM pixie dust that escaped or the gear he dropped out of his nose before listing the advert

I did a club-buy for some 10 RC Aircraft kits from Belgium just after Xmas - nearly shit myself when I had a UPS shipping notice - the vendor promised to use another company. I nearly cancelled the entire order based on the shit with TaiwanGun. Had an email from UPS to pay my VAT/Admin charge online. My order arrived exactly four days after shipping from the Vendor with no issues whatsoever. And the box was huge too, bigger than a RIF being shipped although not as heavy. I just don't get what their problem is, other than the fact that most orders contain RIFs? If Gunfire can do it, why can't TG? Answers on a postcard....

The first thing I would consider is if you want to run a light on it. Has a rail you might as well use it.

mag compatibility can be just one of those things, sounds like the DE mag is just set slightly lower than the cyma. if it works the other way round (ie cyma works in the DE) then tbh the best solution would be using cyma mags. one thing to think about is the potential for the adjustment to back off in-game. the g&g is a different system but the one thing i found happened far too often is it'd back out during a game, you'd start with a nice solid figure and end the day barely spitting rounds. the fps consistency should show if it's an air leak, a consistent low fps would suggest it's just spring tension but a wider range of values would lean towards a leak.

TM mp7 gbbs seem to swing massively in price. I've seen packages go for £300 with 5 mags in good condition to well... that

Hi bud Normal thoughts are 70% of retail as a starting point Allow for damage and use, boxed with a couple of accessories will see a bit more

So then she says"Strip down, facing me" It was only as I was being put in the back of the van that I realised she meant my credit card.

To your average housewife, an M41a is a fully semi automatic AK47, which therefore makes you a terrorist.

So my job is installing high pressure air systems for paintball and airsoft sites and everything Tommikka has said is bang on! There's not much I can add to this other than my advice which would be get yourself a 300bar 12ltr tank and fill from that, your'll get more fills for your money than a 232bar and it will last forever unlike these cheap compressors from China! As a surface use mobile cylinder it's going to need a hydro test every 5 years which is going to cost you around £50 well looked after tanks rarely fail, as Tommikka said never leave them empty and NEVER leave the valve open. Get yourself a decent filling whip with a gauge if your worried about over filling as the small gauges on the bottles are rarely accurate, 3000psi working pressure bottles are tested to roughly 4496psi plus as stated you have a high pressure burst disc so it's not going to explode. Lastly and it's been said already never ever get oil anywhere near the fill nipple, I'm an ex-paintballer and was at both the events Tommikka mentioned, one was in a Millennium event in Germany and the Southampton event was a friend of mine, I was standing about 10 meters away when it happened and lost my hearing in one ear for nearly a week, the guy had to have his playing jersey surgically removed from his skin as it had fussed itself to him, he's lucky to be alive. Ironically the team he played for was called '2 Hot for U'

Waiting for a target, the ghillie giraffe cannot wait to use his new AKS74U 😂 In all seriousness, that probably looks taller because of the compact nature of the 74u. I recently put a high rise on my m4, and it made me think of a giraffe too haha

Finally finished off my standard load out today, forgot to add my pistol holster for the photo. still debating on a fast helmet or not as they might clash with the goggles.

Still in production till the early 2000s. I have one it's a pretty good shooter.

HPA is perfectly safe as long as you are not a complete nobber and treat it with respect You need to do absolutely no maintenance to your cylinders If they are excessively filled the high pressure burst disk will fail, make a scary bang noise, and safely exhaust the air Just don’t have skin next to the burst disk, and if the cylinder is sat in a table then it will probably spin & bounce around - you don’t want the first thing it hits to be a fragile bone such as your skull Avoid this with steady fills and watch the gauge Ultimately a burst disk might fail due to the number of fills it has had cycling from low/no pressure to full pressure. The majority will last the entire lifetime of a cylinder. If the regulator fails and too much pressure is released then the low pressure burst disk will will fail, make a scary bang noise, and safely exhaust the air As above but a lower pressure and it lasts longer. Minimise this by fitting a full nipple cover to avoid dirt on the nipple. If you have no nipple cover then dirt will get onto the nipple, a sensible person will rub that off, but there will still be residue which gets blown into the cylinder on the next fill, then gets into the regulator. If it builds up over time then ‘performance’ is effected and a failure may occur - it becomes inefficient and doesn’t refresh quickly or it allows higher pressure through and the burst disk saves you Burst disks are your air fuses. The high pressure burst disk is your mains trip/fuse cabinet, the low pressure burst disk is your plug fuse Don’t ‘self service’ your cylinder and don’t lubricate it You cannot overfill a cylinder and make it explode (unless you try very hard and replace the burst disks with solid bolts) A flash fill failure is a very rare incident, I’m not aware of any for probably 15+ years (at least in the UK, Europe & US) There were two back in the day, one at a site in Southampton and one at a European event. At least one involved a specific type of cylinder which had a very thin lightweight design, and only had a maximum 5 year life. This was not the cause of failure, but faith was lost and it’s manufacture was ceased Other very lightweight designs have since been manufactured They all must be manufactured and tested to the same standards The combination of caused of these failures were: 1) oil contamination In the UK case it was established that the user had not contaminated their cylinder with oil It was found that the oil contamination was due to someone else’s cylinder filled some point earlier 2) high speed fills The filling was of 4500psi cylinders, but at unregulated speeds Any filling generates heat, but the combination of oil, very high pressure, very fast filling generated a lot of heat very quickly and turned the cylinder into a Diesel engine - flash fill failure / flash fill explosion To avoid these: Don’t use oil on the high pressure end Even better don’t use any lube on your cylinder - if the cylinders regulator ever needs work then refer to a professional (But at the price of 3000psi aluminium cylinders just buy a new one) Don’t use unregulated fill systems Use the right fill pressure system - 3000psi / 206bar (I’ll tell you something about scuba later) Fill slowly, ideally top up often If filling a lot (eg from low or empty) then start to fill for a short while holding the cylinder, stop, wait a moment, if it has got noticeably warmer then stop for longer and fill in shorter bursts Don’t use a full system without first familiarising with it - get shown how to fill by a competent person The tournament paintball community learned these lessons when the flash fill incidents occurred. The UKs scenario paintball community adopted them among event standards a few years later, including UKPSF air safety briefs before players would be permitted to self fill (an air pass would be handed out valid for a year) I discovered that the tournament community forgot those lessons, and was relearning them again (luckily the sites / events maintained regulated fills) Stirrup pumps take a lot of pumps to fill. I’ve got one, but I’ve never done enough for a fill. I’m a team captain and I have peasants to do the hard stuff (However the stirrup isn’t intended for filling, only for a level of top up if ever required when away from a proper fill source) Normally my advice is to fill a little bit and often - don’t let the cylinder drop far down, then top up to 3000psi With a stirrup this is still valid advice - BUT the first strokes of the pump don’t put anything into your cylinder, they only bring the hose up to pressure until it matches the cylinders current pressure and opens the fill nipple valve. Then subsequent pumps go to wider area of the cylinder and hose and begin to fill. The more you drain the cylinder first, the quicker you actually pump air into it - but then need more strokes to get to your desired pressure If you’re doing a quick top up between games then there is the danger that in a short time all you manage to do is pressurise the hose, then run out of time before you get any air transferred If you start from practically empty then you quickly get some pressure in, but have to get in enough to play With a stirrup use slow, steady, firm pumps - all the way from top to bottom Scuba cylinders are a good option - but if you have 3000psi in your scuba and fill your playing cylinders you won’t get 3000psi - you’ll get a fraction less as they equalise Then on your next fill the scuba is starting below 3000psi, so you get even less and gradually the maximum you can get drops So avoid filling your filling cylinders to 3000psi, go for something like 2800psi and then don’t let it drop too far - fill straight away (You are then taking as little as possible from the scuba each time - and of course do it slowly) If you get a 4500psi/300bar scuba it costs more, but you have much more spare capacity before it drops But this brings the ‘danger’ of a 4500psi scuba source filling a 3000psi playing cylinder You could buy a regulated fill rig set to output 3000psi - at extra expense Or you control the flow, monitor all gauges and only fill the playing cylinder to 3000psi (or less) High pressure air is very safe when treated with respect
