Russia hasn't been considered Communist, nor has it been run by Communists since the fall of the union. It has been passed off as a weak Parliamentary Democracy but is actually controlled by an Authoritarian Conservative Capitalist Dictatorship. I am unsure why on earth people still think Russia is run by a Communist or Communist party. The SU was certainly Communistic Totalitarianism at it's core. Like many political stances and parties with "Labels" such as Conservative, Democratic, Socialist, Communist, Capitalist. Their actions generally have very little to do with their label beyond lip service.

Probably seen in the classifieds but got a KWA MK23 GBB with TM LAM, VFC suppressor and a few upgrades. Absolute steal! Definitely haven't been sweeping the house as if I'm Snake 😎 The bullet is inert, of course.

Now I can do science too

@EDcase Yup a Polish customer of mine did this with one of the "Polish man with a van" chaps and sure enough wasn't cost effective. Only really useful if it's a something not available in the UK. I'm due a phone chat with a new HK sea freight agent tomorrow to see what the situation is with container shipping.

The flesh is weak, got a used Eotech 552 on the way. Ex maritime, the QD looks a little rusty but I’m sure I can get it looking swish again

Got this little (it's massive) beauty. A JG RPK. So far it seems good. Well made with electric blow back, shooting around 320fps with 0.2g bbs and a snappy rate of fire on a 7.2v lipo. Hoping to give it a gun run out at the weekend.

Do you want to set up a shipping company? 😆

You ain’t seen me, right.

I'd rather shag a bag of nettles than to read the political tripe above (if you want to talk politics regards the Russian /Ukraine conflict, then make a thread in the "off topic" section). so back to the original topic... Russian kit yay or nay? I say sure. Why not. It's not like people are barred from wearing the uniform of enemy forces is it? How many taliban/German /Vietnamese dressed players have you seen? I've seen lots. It's not like the uniform someone wears means that they support the country or military behind it. Wear what you want. Have fun. Airsoft is a simple game to play unless you're a jumped up walt/nobber/General bellend. Don't spoil it.

True, the label 'Communist' has been replaced but Putin clearly wants to bring back its ideological 'glory days'. Anyway, I don't think this is a good subject for an airsoft forum so I'll drop it.

Extreme far right politics have always been the mainstay in most of the countries in the region, even their "lefties" would be considered right wing in most of Western Europe, so citing that as an excuse for what's gone on isn't valid. You can't get away from the fact that a massive & extremely paranoid war machine, controlled by an equally paranoid dictatorship is committing wholesale murder on its neighbour, literally because it can, in the knowledge that the size of its nuclear arsenal is a deterrent preventing the west getting involved. The best hope for all involved is if an internal coup deposes Putin & those around him. Given the military losses coming to light, might be enough to initiate it ? Fingers crossed 🤞

Pfft.......Mr Thumb may be sporting these, but Instructor Earl is the real daddy;

The last of the handguards for the SD Finally got round to doing a keymod version, having forgot all about it!

I like a bit of wear to make things look more real but that's going a bit too far for me 😲 Very good job tho 👍 Really looks like it was dug up from somewhere.

Just finished another weathered paint job. This is 'Starry'*. I wanted it to look like it's been dug up out of a Ukrainian garden after 20 years and recalled to active service... and I think it worked. 😁 Method: I stripped it back to bare metal, primed and repainted black so that when the paint inevitably chips, it's exposes the metal. I then used acrylic rust colours from brown to orange, dabbed on with foam in patches. The whole lot was then covered in an uneven textured 'technical' acrylic to give it the caked-up finish. The wood was sanded to remove the top layer then I used an aggressive sanding brush disc to carve runs into it. It was then doused in an oil-coloured acrylic wash to make it look distressed and a bit rotten. Finally, it was airbrushed with layers of matte varnish and chipping agent. Long live the 'Kraine! 🇺🇦 *Real name 'staryy brudnyy svoloch' (старий брудний сволоч) which is Ukrainian for 'Old Dirty Bastard'.

So got an Esstac KYWI. Works great, and still holds my Glock mags, so no changing out the pouch depending on sidearm.

I have just gambled and ordered an Esstac pouch after lots of youtubing etc. Will see how it goes. Appreciate the offer Lozart, will see how the Esstac does.

The guns are designed to run on 144A gas and in the UK other than in single digit temperatures will work fine. this means low FPS which many people think anything under 320FPS is bad. you can us higher power gases (Cyber Gun Extreme Blow Back APS 3 gas appears to be a lower pressure than green gas) just watch yourself when the temperature gets into the 20s things may go wrong. Now here's the thing you can run the gun for years on over pressured gas before it breaks (you will be wearing it out quicker than using 144A gas) or it could self detonate after a few games (external and internal parts can be damaged). My main concern is you have an 8ish year old gun that i assume you have done no maintenance in that time. if this is the case you should field strip the gun clean it and lube with silicon oil as the thing is probably bone dry. If you service it it should be ok on the gas you have with current temperature. As regards to upgrades they are not drop in. Just chucking parts at gun can make it functionally worse, will take fettling to fit especially fitting a significantly heavier slide. I personal take the view that GBB pistols are disposable items unless its a single part that has broken it's cheaper just to replace the gun than upgrade. so long winded sum up service the gun 1st. clean it after every game day use the gas you have until it runs out then personally gets some 144a and accept it will break at some point as all airsoft guns will do.

I have an upgraded aeg version of the Scorpion and I love it but...I have a 7" Wolverine mtw which is now my favourite. The advantage of the M4 platform is mag variety with some really high capacity mid caps epm1's etc. The best thing about the mtw is it's ready to go out of the box. Everything aligned perfectly, lovely and light, with excellent build quality. It's a little more than the Evo but I would say it is worth it.

I think he wants to bring back the Communist regime but I'll admit the name isn't significant. He's an asshole and we'll leave it at that 😉

Although I'm not much of a run-and-gun-type of player (more plod-and-pew) I've had the odd moment where I've had to get a shift on, and the Esstacs have been brilliant. They aren't cheap but weighed against the cost of replacing lost mags and I can justify it. The Safariland clone (6354DO) retains the pistol by the ejection port and releases with a thumb lever. You can adjust the tension and I have to say it's very smooth and instinctive to draw. You do need a weapon light on this model though otherwise it won't retain as well, if at all.

Putin wants to be the ultimate dictator and be as expansionist as the previous regime. But nothing about him is Communist. So again, I am not sure why you would say Russia is Communist. Were you wrong in that statement? You did bring up the politics in this Airsoft forum.

The Azov battalion have been known about since the fighting started and only make up a small percentage of the civilian militia As for Putin being removed, it wouldn't surprise me as, according to the Ukrainian government, the intel on the chetchen commandos sent to kill the president came from the FSB.

Cool, now I just need a granny to sell 😉

First game in what feels like forever. Although I will withhold my potential excitement as it's at F&O Stealth Woods and I'm not a fan of their chrono policy... But I will have to wait and see. Hopefully it'll be good to get out there again. Fingers crossed!

This thread is what the internet was made for. Some over compensated moron bearing the cross of righteousness belittling an entire community into doing something they believe is right because it has the best of intentions and then getting super salty when people don't share the same belief. Where's closest? I'll send my hi capas as well and that way the enemy will run away as they won't want to get speedy boi'd.

I'd keep checking back on that one. Yup, that's the significant difference to the mainland. While both of the above remain true, this might actually be an interesting wheeze, depending on what the VAT situation is (or can be made to appear).

Only issue I had with putting it on the belt, is that it has some side to side play as the malice clip isn't as wide as the loops on the belt. I have attached it with a malice clip, as well as a WTFix strap to try and take up some slack, and then used a zip tie diagonally to cinch it down a bit. Seems very good quality though and am happy with the pouch itself

Flannel daddy approved. Assuming the rating on those is good for pew?

If you know, you know

Blue, found the reds to be a very decent opfor! And yes it definitely was a decent days gaming, I knew it’d be a good intro for my mate and his lad, he messaged me yesterday asking about batteries for guns, looks like they’re hooked already 😂😂

An old claymore bag and good pair of boots is worth more that an airsoft plate carrier. Medical supplies and MRE's are what you want to donate. Either funds for, or the items. As for looking like a pro... In a group of local malitia the last thing I would want is to look like some HVT or advisor! I would much rather have a feild dressing and something to eat if I made it through the day.

Welcome. Your gonna love it! First tips as a newcomer myself in October. Get some nice eyepro and lower mesh mask as your first purchase. Save buying a gun until you get a UKARA defense. Talk to as many people at the site as possible when you start going. Get to know the kit etc and start working out what you want from the sport so you are better informed when it comes to purchasing your own kit. And lastly geek out on YouTube vids and forum posts here. I found that bit easy as I love geeking out on new things I get interested in. I felt I already knew so much about everything before I even acquired my UKARA. So when I finally dropped a massive wad on my kit I felt I definitely knew what I wanted. And so far I wasn't wrong. It all played off in the end. I also mostly play solo. But I find that helps talk to new people on game day and get out of my comfort zone. Don't be shy to ask people about their guns and kit. They will happily talk your head off about it all 😂

I thought they still weren’t delivering to the UK ? Well if you did start selling I’m sure you’d have plenty of customers due to the excellent rep you’ve got for your current customer service .

Esstac KYWI pistol mag pouch. Works great for my FNX45 mags, and my Glock mags.

is that the one that looks cool in video games but only because video games cant convey the fact that it weighs approximately 19.48 tons?

best lie 2022.

Patch arrived. A bit big for my helmet. Think I'll get a smaller one done and use this on my rig till then.

Is that current or old? If current protect it at all costs and have it looked over I had one many years ago and took forever to get around to seeing the doctor, I just in time for an infection to properly kick off

Oh yes it does ! it counts from 95 down to zero its designed to use short Thompson mags of which the Hi-caps hold 200 . You fill the mag load it in start shooting it , it hits zero you pull the mag out a wee bit push it back in ,,,,,,,,,,,,AND it re-sets to 95 so basically you’ve got an accurate round counter ! 😍

Narp. GBP has been creeping up slightly against the Euro for the last year, but it's a small wibbles and wobbles either way. I'd assume it's just the long awaited price hikes coming down the chain. Most countries printed billions++ of $CURRENCIES over the past couple of years. This necessarily devalues the purchasing power of fiat, and everything is going up sharply. Food, energy, housing, transport, I reckon the headline 4.9% CPI is very optimistic.

Lol, I am sure the Russian soldiers will turn around in fear once they see someone in some Viper chest rigs.

Whilst majorly attempting to avoid specifics, as discussed with a site owner once …… They had a booking from a particular group of stereotypes, and dreaded the level of management & marshalling needed whilst considering excuses to reject the booking without ramifications But on the day it was one of the best groups they have had - purely a group of people who wanted to enjoy a day out shooting each other along with fat wallets

Considering it's one of licking cumstain's haunts it wouldn't surprise me if fuck all happened

Sadly, I'm not, at all. I'd hope they were, but I doubt it. And I'd expect half of them to be back on the next game day, pretending ignorance, saying "No patch, no problem", or just not giving a toss. I'd like to be wrong about that, but the players who aren't a problem don't need told how to behave, and the players who are don't listen or care - that's why they're a problem. It's not the patches, it's the players. Airsoft sites don't need so many rules, and they don't need so much being said. Actually punt the dickish 5-10% off site, on the day, and all the problems are gone. I say this in the full knowledge that it's far easier said than done, and it's something I've got no interest in putting into action. But that doesn't make it any less true.

If anyone wants to sell an ak105 with full zenitco cheap, I’ll take it. too soon?

At £300 i'll order one the day they are available in the uk. Any more than that and i'll wait for the used ones to turn up, which is bound to happen once a few of them get played with and the disappointed purchasers realise a £400 pistol doesn't immediately turn you into John Wick.

I may go on his Facebook page later and ask if Skirmshop are any good...

my new jing gong g36c with my side arm (side arm is just a spring pistol more for show than anything atm) hope you like got this on its way: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT and will get a ecotech 552 for him
