Is it just me, but when reading this post I keep visualising this fella narrating it 😜

Total noob here, but I made sure to talk to my neighbours about my son and I's new hobby. Thankfully one is ex RAF and the others sensible. Sadly and more pathetically my son has a teacher on our estate who grassed him up to the school during lockdown for walking to the local park in a camo onesie and a dirty great orange nerf rifle; so he has some appreciation of the existence of Karen's and curtain twitchers. For the OP, no matter what, these things look real and the general public are morons. The police have to respond to calls, and if a gun is part of the call.... You are sensible enough to understand.

very nice. I have a thing for M9's

Right as a middle aged person can I just clarify. Some one shouting out take your hit is as bad as no hit takers yes? I would say it's worse as its much more common than non hit taking and can ruin a game atmosphere as the belief that the other team are not taking their hits can spread quickly.

I think I may be able to translate this into English: Creating edited videos with sight target hit markers is as bad as shouting “You’re hit!, you’re hit, I say marshal, that chap over there is hit and is playing on” and also as bad as playing on once you have been hit & eliminated ….. and … discuss ….

Didn't the Romans use something similar.....?

Well me too. 🥺

always amazes me how good the memories of these youtubers are. they can remember every shot they fired in every game and apply hit markers appropriately, even when you can't tell from the footage whether or not the bb found its mark. meanwhile mans can't remember what, or even if, he ate for breakfast.....

Today I scored all this army surplus. 2 pair camo trousers, 2 molle belts, 2 yokes, vest with pouches and camel back holder, loads of molle pouches, sturdy backpack. All for the lovely price of £bugger all.

So yesterday was mainly about testing the mp5 high caps I had bought for my King Arms PDW and my general CQB/PDW specific loadout. They feed fine, but they sit a touch too snug into the magwell so I'm gonna slightly sand it wider, maybe a quarter of a millimetre per side, just to ensure they drop nicely as the magazine release is proprietary and looks ultra flimsy and I don't want to force it in any way. Gameplay itself was meh, I wasn't focused at all. But everyone didn't seem too motivated either, so I guess it was just one of those days Also when I came home i took the AK apart for the N'th time to clean the mosfet and give it a general check, ended up reshimming the bevel gear, leaving it a touch looser. Hopefully it'll run fine next Sunday.

A mostly good day at Special Ops yesterday... took my F2000, M906 and AK47S (which only shoots reliably on semi so was my backup-backup). F2000 decided that it would hop my 0.28's thanks to the new hop unit and bucking. Which was nice. Not so good was I think I put too much hop on, jammed the barrel and the gearbox. So back to the trusty DE M906. A decent enough morning's play, with my gun running like a champ The rain came in harder at lunchtime, feeling a bit damp and cold. I was wearing my newly acquired MTP windproof smock, and was at this point wishing I'd bought the waterproof one. A change of undershirt made life much nicer. Double helping of tasty meatballs for lunch, and luckily the rain mostly went away before we restarted. The afternoon involved an interesting game of Jailbreak where 6 of us armed only with pistols were prisoners in the enemy camp. Our team attacked to break us out of the 'kill house' area we were in, but the marshals also had the ability to call 'jailbreak' at which point we could open fire and make a run for it. So they did, and chaos ensued Unfortunately I got annoyed at this point. Having been waiting 20 minutes for the big chance, I shot a guy twice in the back and expected to select my next target. But instead he turned around and started shooting at me, so I lost my chance. We all got zapped so and 15 minutes of choosing our moments when we'd make another rush, which usually involved getting a couple of very close range pistol kills and then getting lit up by everyone around! One of us did actually manage to escape. It was good to give my new Hi Capa a decent try out, it performed perfectly in the cold. At this point my battery died, and my game time came to a premature end. I had to run (well jog/walk) back to the safe zone to grab the other 11.1v battery out of the F2K, which was about 1.5km round trip. And then I couldn't get the damn thing connected... the PTS EPS stock and the short connector lead on the DE just turned out to be impossible to deal with in the cold / wet. I've got an extension lead in the AR15 which I've now transplanted across. A few more indestructible players around than usual, there were a few teenage hoody / puffa jacketed kids deciding to ignore anything short of painful headshots... for which I was happy to oblige. But still, I got through a wet-ish day without feeling miserable.

It's only real physics if it's done in zero freefall gravity vacuum orbit.

Had a great day yesterday trying out Ambush Airsoft in Cobham for the first time. Had seen a few old reviews that had me in two minds but seems the new management have found their feet. Arrival and check in were quick and chrono checks carried out for all. Despite the heavy rain from around lunchtime there were plenty of games played with scenarios varying from attack/defend, domination, capture the flags and a very enjoyable entrenched snipers vs everybody else that rolled through multiple play areas. Good mix of woodland setting with various well built structures and hard cover (some with multiple levels) dotted around giving plenty of options. Respawns we’re within easy reach and reload visits to the safe zone were frequent but short (enough time to refill mags and have a quick smoke/coffee) keeping play time to a maximum. Marshals we’re on point and kept everything flowing and there was a good mix of regulars, rentals and randoms like me - it was nice to see the regulars helping out and encouraging the rentals to push and get stuck in. Decent shop selection and lunch provided was hot and filling. All in all had a great day and will definitely be going back again. I did get clocked with a burst to the thumb that is definitely going to leave a mark! 😆

People still getting in trouble after it's known to be a rif involved, rather than a real firearm, is usually because they've done something stupid (eg wave it around in public), failed the attitude test or both Did anything happen because quite frankly that's got fuck all to do with the school?

Always funny to hear people try to 'dispute' physics 😁

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.

Ah.... The old TopCat tactic

Just saying ?

The MI7 is OK, but they are just basic rental level goggles. Hard plastic frame. They are marketed under both Valken, Annexe & Sly brands The Dye I4s have been a favourite in airsoft, and the I5 is the latest iteration These are a premium goggle with a soft rubber frame, and the Dye family tends to have a smaller footprint which can be good for kids, but bad for those with big heads or chins The best thing to do is to try some goggles on I have a pair of the MI7s - which are cheap & cheerful, but they comfortably fit me I used the Dye I3 pros which worked for me, but exposed my forehead, chin and also my mouth when talking/shouting. I’ve been shot in the forehead and mouth quite a few times The I4s are smaller than I3s. My preferred goggle on the market is the GI/VForce Grills. There is finally a new Grills v2 out, I’m not convinced by the ‘new features’ to consider the v2 a better option, as opposed to just a new version. The grills design has been around for many years and has stood the test of time well, they usually have a whole range of colour combinations which often meant good discounts as new season releases were announced. The v2 could mean a price drop on some v1 stocks The best answer is for him to try some goggles on and see what feels good to him

Thanks but I known about hit markers in vids. It's the rest I'm struggling with lol. It has been a long day though 😴 Regards

I'm still trying to figure out the title

Calling your hits is as bad as not calling your hits 🤔

Still waiting

Sunday 13th...

Changed from my S95 DPM to MTP and it really does work better with the current foliage and leaf litter

I don't think it has anything to do with AoE. Adolf already wrote a nice wall of text for you, I will just add that the damage on the piston could be caused by PME. Not because the gears are turning too fast for the spring to push the piston all the way forward, but most likely because of the hop jam. What (most likely) happened is that the air trapped inside the cylinder couldn't be expelled forward into the nozzle so it pushed back on the piston, either stopping it or slowing it down enough for the sector gear to pick it up at a random spot. Either way, I'm not a fan of 15t pistons, the 2nd tooth (first after the big, pick up one) is essentially useless and most aftermarket pistons already come with that tooth removed/lowered.

wasn't there also something about see saws?

I toke mine out b4 i played first game and set up the hop outaide my house and feild. Just find somone with private land ie farmers feild ask if can use it there. I went to shooters world air rifle shop asked all the land owners if i cud do it and 3 said yes. I pickdd closeist to home he even drove me down and toke me home never seen a airsoft sniper rifle b4. Its totaly fine as ya on private land shooting on private land.

Seems a bit subtle, if so. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284650286872 I've seen eBay adverts trying that wheeze, but they usually say "comes with everything shown" or similar wink-wink, nudge-nudge. Given that you'd have zero comeback from eBay, it's a peculiar way of selling or buying.

YT will provide you with a "next best" result if it can't find exactly what you're after. That's usually considered 'helpful' rather than anything else! As a video of a disassembly of a very specific airsoft gun is rather 'niche', it's not exactly surprising you're not getting (m)any hits. Wildhog and warthog seem to be the same guns but one with a flash hider and other with a suppressor. So all the interesting bits are the same. I'd suggest you're getting your knickers in a twist for nothing

I can't think who you mean 😉

MILIFLEX M4 Working on remodelling this video game rifle for airsoft.

Cool, but someone will be along soon to "dispute" it😏 🤣

Finbarr Saunders lives !!!

You know im just gonna use my fm12 for now ill see what i can do with the s6

Not really. Any report of a firearm has to be taken seriously until its proven to be a replica, imagine what could happen if a report of a gun wasn't treated seriously and it turned out to be a real one.

Which means absolutely nothing in airsoft. My backup-backup gun is a CYMA CM.516, the really cheap, nasty plastic one, which I've been fiddling with on and off from the moment that I bought a second RIF. I rarely have cause to revert to it, but when I do, wow, it outshoots anything else that I've got. ZCI hop and barrel, Big Dragon M140, bang on 1.13J with an M90 spring, feeds from any mag, and so much brrrrrrt. BBs really, truly, don't care about what's wrapped around the gearbox, hop unit and barrel.

I think I may have a type...

Finally got an MP7

People pay extra for premium genuine forces kit. Only the cleverest Chinese ten year olds with the nimblest fingers are used to make the best stuff...

this, we accept that 2-tone is a necessary evil to allow our hobby to continue, and as long as you don't do it to anything rare/nice (ie not commonly available) nobody is going to care.

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. 😁

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 ! 🤣🤣🤣
