I don't think he will. I hear getting rid of 3 year olds is difficult.

To be fair, there are a couple of members on here that do seem to ready to argue black is white at the drop of a hat, they quickly get tedious, do what I do & block them, that way you won't see their inane huffing & puffing lol

Are you new to the internets? Just folk fronting and maxing, chilling with the toys we've spent all day waxing. It'll all be hugs and reacharounds in the safe zone.

I think it's great that your kid painted it for you. Don't ever get rid of it.👍 Regards

Good job he had a whole field to aim at, anything smaller & he'd have probably missed it 😂

To be fair a sad back story does warrant a wee bit of leniency but not a lot of baring on wether something gets a negative critique or not when it’s posted up in the public domain . it’s like when you get someone on a tv no talent show and they truck out a sad story of how they grew up on their own living in a discarded biscuit tin because their father ran away with the next doors neighbours granny , their mother died of the mange and the ambulance taking her to hospital ran over the dog as it pulled away ! But soon as they open their mouth they sound like someone strangling a cat 😖 really sad story but don’t change the fact they can’t sing does it ?

Scientists in Texas have discovered the leading cause of dry skin. They're called towels.

The hissy fits and drama along with macks are the reason I keep checking in here. regarding this thread I now only have two aeg’s left, the least I have ever owned since starting this money pit of a hobby

Just had a policeman come to our door, saying he was looking for a man with one eye. I tried to be helpful and do my my bit for the community, by suggesting he used both eyes, as he might find him a lot quicker.

You must take in to consideration theirs a good few older players on here who grew up in the “sticks’n’stones may break my bones etc etc” era so the concept of ‘passive aggressive’ or god forbid the ultimate transgression off ‘OFFENDING SOMEONE !’ Is just a load of bollox to us lot and our outlook has always been “just grow a set and move on” talk on the internet has no value , if you don’t like what someone says ? Ignore them and move on . End of the day it’s like @Tacklesaid just block the ones you don’t like and if someone’s not happy with the way a thread is going leave it and comeback in a couple of days when the next ‘in-depth heated discussion’ occurs ? 😉

Fully trained by watching every Kicking Mustang video out there, I'm sure. Nice is a bonus, but the main attribute required is the confidence to take a decision to kick a player, or a group, back to the safe zone, or clean off site, and to back it up. The majority of players don't need marshalling. If marshals can't deal with the exception, what's the point of them?

You're telling me I read the situation wrong? How dare you. I have exceptional situational awareness and that never happens

Buy a CQBR and a URGI rail system, done.

Kid Glock there? No, I was barely aware of his existence, and now he's on the "shush" list. Lucky guess, I guess. Truth to tell, I actually agree. I run irons (or foam) on sniper sidearms and for LARPing, but reticules all the way if I actually want to hit something. Even in CQB I run a cheap reflex on my MP5K. Just not... this cheap. I saw those come up on "cheapest first" (it's a cultural imperative) and was wondering if they really were what they looked like: a cross painted on a bit of perspex. I do like that they've gone to the bother of faking a battery compartment and laser tail end on it. It occurs that you could make something exactly as useful from a sight protector and a felt tip pen.

I had a great day at Worthing, though for non-standard reasons. I didn't play too much, only playing in the afternoon. Worthing is a woodland site, but it's very much woodland CQB at this time of year and there aren't many places for me to use the VSR with that 30m MED, so I picked a position and covered a flank. The rest of the team managed to get most of the objectives back to our base so all we had to do was defend and stop the other team stealing them, so I was sure that someone would be sneaky and flank around where I was covering... but nobody did. I had the prime sniper experience of sitting completely still in an uncomfortable position for hours without seeing a single target The reason it was good is that it was a morning of testing for me. I had to set the VSR as the hop rubber had torn a few weeks ago and I'd put a new 85 degree silicone Maple Leaf autobot rubber in it so I had to make sure the hop was set and the scope was zeroed, but the main point was that I also brought the m21 and my spring VSR with me, my two 1.1J sniper rifles, and decided to test what the heaviest BB they'll hop was. Turns out that they both love .4s! The spring VSR gained a little more consistency but no more range, which is still worth it to me as consistency is king for sniping, but the m21 gained a lot more consistency and an extra 5m effective range, slinging accurately to 65m. I can hit around 70m with angled shots, but much further and the BB just doesn't have the energy. I was trying to get angled shots on the 75m target, but I could see the BBs just grinding to a halt shortly after 70m no matter what I tried. No matter, 65m effective range with no MED will suit me just fine. The VSR was doing it's usual 75m effective, 85m relatively effective (have to angle shots, but can reliably do so), but my friend told me to stand by the 100m target as he thought he was hitting it when I gave him my VSR to shoot. He wasn't, as I was standing about 2m to the side of it and they're metal so they make a nice dink when hit, but it was cloooooose. The BBs were landing between 90 - 95m. Could I push for 100m? Maybe, but there's no point thinking about it as I never have to take shots at that range and prefer to take accurate shots. If they're that far away, I'll just sit in my ghillie and wait for them to get a bit closer However, it has shown me that it is time to put the VSR back in stasis, as Worthing is just not practical for sniper rifles any more (well, not entirely as I'll still take it to a Vietnam game next month as Gunman Eversley is far more open than Worthing). It's definitely now the season for the m21 and MWS as the two guns I'll bring with me each week!

Well, we did it. Spent the day running around like nutters and shooting people 😂 I'm knackered but what a laugh. Honey badger needs a bit more oomph and I'd get more kills throwing my pistol at people rather than actually shooting it at them.🤣🤣 Game, as they say ON. 😎👍

What’s ya poison ? 😉

First one in hell gets the round in.

I'll save you a seat when I get there That's why I can't tell jokes in the USA. My sense of humour is so dark the police would shoot it on sight

That'll cost you extra though Unless you're mates with the McCann family

Probably your best bet. I'm fairly zen when it comes to Strikeforce. I'm not expecting much other than to get a mad sweat on running around all day and burning through as much ammo as is feasible with gas mags. I pay the speedybois as little attention as possible. They do their thing, I do mine. Gloucester prison is better though. Both sites are close to TGI for post-pew ribs though

Global warming 😂

Well, mine is done. Stockless with a crap GB for now but i love it! Also kept the original safety plate, only replaced the swingy part that meshes with the lever and it works a treat.

Thanks for all your input, it is helpful. I’m going to read old posts to try and learn as much as I can.

With it being an MWS I dare say it safer as is, given that it won’t go into safe unless it’s cocked… as I imagine you know. But I’m now lost in some weird internet argument giving actual reasoning for something, so more the fool me I guess.

Getting good 1911 grips in the UK seems near impossible to be honest. Even more so for non-government sized models. I've seen some officer sizes for sale on Brownells (example), and I'm also currently working with Navidrex (homepage - US based; supplies grips to Brownells UK) on a set of custom made-to-order wood grips. Its around $20 for a custom set of hand checkered grips so pretty affordable. Shipping costs more than the grips though.. Fingers crossed that UPS doesn't muck up the shipping but otherwise Navidrex was really good with accommodating custom options so check them out. This is a standard Navidrex set sold on Brownells (colour is a bit darker with ~10 coats of tung oil). I'm pretty sure they can make something like this in officer size from scratch.

As a right handed shooter, I've always mounted my light on the right hand side of my guns. This is mostly because of thing I read about how your opponent will usually aim AT the light pointing at them so if it's outboard of your body then they're less likely to hit you. Seems to work so I stick with it.

It never does, because the people doing it don't give a stuff. Either sort it out on the field, or don't waste everyone's time by hectoring the decent players. See above about ejecting the reprobates, any my re-affirmed belief that the skillset for marshalling is pretty much a 1:1 match with bouncers.

Interesting note in this article about a potential CO2 version of these Enfields from Ares.

ADF jellybean goodness. Battle Lakes last month.

Welcome mate. Adding to the above: I use CYMA, JG and Specna Arms and all have been reliable and playable from the box. If you just want one toy you can afford something more up-market though. Some people on the forum have good opinions of G&G but personally I think they're a bit pricy for what they offer. Can't really advise on more expensive options so more reading and review watching needed. I prefer to have a couple of (cheaper) play style options on a game day like an MP5 for sneaking attacks or a longer M4 for longer range work. (Having multiple weapons on a game day has also come in handy when a friends or my other main stopped working) Decide on the look you want, find what companies sell it and then check reviews of each option. Video reviews are good if you watch plenty to get different opinions and then ask on the forum for specifics. The thing to remember is you can spend a LOT of money to get a few extra feet of range when you could just sneak a bit closer and pick people off with better tactics and movement. Best advise is not to take it too seriously. Winning a game is less important than having a good firefight 😁 ...and call your hits. Its just a short walk to respawn and offers you a different approach to the target.

Sorry I missed you guys today, had something come up. Intriguing to know what got the guy kicked off, they seem very on the ball at Reforger, which is great.

He really is a prize pumpkin. The legislation is surprisingly clear on this. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/57A (2)An “airsoft gun” is a barrelled weapon of any description which— (a) is designed to discharge only a small plastic missile (whether or not it is also capable of discharging any other kind of missile), and (b) is not capable of discharging a missile (of any kind) with kinetic energy at the muzzle of the weapon that exceeds the permitted level. Shooting glass, or steel, or lead, or depleted uranium from your airsoft toy doesn't automatically turn it into a firearm - what matters is that it was designed for plastic. Unless it comes out at over 1.3J / 2.5J. That's only likely to be a concern for over-volumed guns shooting heavy ammo. Given the density of glass or fused silica is in the region of 2.2 - 2.8 g/cm3 we're looking at 0.24g - 0.31g for glass, so not a concern given that we're already slinging 0.5g (or more) of "plastic" around the field. That actually concerns me more, in terms of elasticity and impulse.

I've formed the impression that there are people who only turn up in order to stand around at respawn pissing and moaning to anyone who will listen about all the CHEETARS that they dumped three mags into. So when I took a gun hit yesterday, I put my helmet on it and held it up above cover to give them something to shoot at and really complain about. Good, I'd like to see it to happen more often. If sites punted the worst player every day, what a hobby this would be.

OK, so 47 years and excessive pies have put me off doing it but after my youngest got hooked, then father /son hobby was born... I genuinely don't have a clue. Lol. I've got a mate who is really into it and I'm learning what I can so I don't look like a complete noob, just a partial one... 🤣 Going to do a few rentals before buying something interesting too. I will be annoying, asking random questions that have been asked before (must search first!). Hope to pull the right ideas from your experiences. Er, "game on" 😳

It would be interesting to know what the actual story was as opposed to the version he gave: Someone with a history of ‘airgun offences’ reported a lorries dangerous driving, which resulted in his girlfriend letting CID in the door for a search without a warrant https://p8ntballer-forums.com/threads/paintball-and-the-law.171875/page-7 The original Facebook posts have disappeared, and (though only a basic name search) I’ve not found much other than someone with a similar name who would have been in prison at the time for conspiracy to murder

Might be me as a new user not understanding the culture here but why is there so much passive aggressive drama on these forums? I get disagreeing on stuff since it's all personal taste after all, but these weird passive aggressive posts kinda makes me cringe. Makes me think that it might draw away users on an already pretty small community. End of the day we're just a bunch of dumbasses playing with toy guns. I mean there's a pink p90 just a few pages back ffs... 🤷‍♂️ And don't anyone dare disagree with me, I know what I'm talking about. TIER ONE BABY

@Speedbird_666 @Rogerborg These Home Defence guns do have the attention of the Home Office & Border Force, and they aren’t entirely happy Recent changes by the UKPSF on their guidelines to retailers are related to the increase in Home Defence designs If appropriate versions are here in the UK with the correct velocity limit and paintballs or first strikes then they are UK legal for paintball But if they are dodgy imports (or modified back to full velocity) then they are airguns and could be subject to deciding whether they are legal or illegal airguns Also irrespective of velocity if they are used with other projectiles then they are heading to the illegal side The only approved projectiles for paintball are classic gelatine balls (which can be in non standard sizes) and First Strike shaped paintballs which were subject to testing a few years ago. First Strike testing was conducted on the 0.68” version, other sizes exist Rubber balls have been used in the past as ‘training paintballs’ (reballs etc). These are not approved for paintball Powder balls get used in the UK for some purposes - I’m seen them used for film special FX and for shooting galleries I’m aware of one event that was considering Powderball, but they were worried about legal implications and the event also never happened. They are not approved for paintball Modified projectiles will generate the interest of the courts Self defence is a right in the UK, but a self defence weapon is an offensive weapon Get one of these found in your bedside table during a search by the police and you will be looking at a prosecution (I have seen this mentioned on forums, possibly also on here) Use of a paintball gun for home defence /self defence is a stupid idea. I play that game for fun, and I enjoy going into the middle of a firefight as a photographer or Marshall getting repeatedly battered. It’s not going to put off a burglar, they either wouldn’t care or would be made grumpy. You would have a better chance of scaring them off by waving the wife’s favourite toy at them They definitely do not belong in an airsoft game. On the chrono range its arguable - on the basis of it being a paintballer chrono checking On reporting to staff they should care or advise that it’s been OKd for testing/chrono checks etc - shrugging it off does not inspire me The Umarex guns are not user adjustable. They are preset by the valve. The full HDR models can also exceed the Americans permitted velocity / power, and a number of reviews ‘advise’ to dry fire a few shots on 12 gram change Law enforcement & home defence versions of paintball guns have existed for many years - In fact a few paintball designs are spin offs from the ‘less than lethal’ models. Typically these have been unrestricted valves marketed as home defence / law enforcement and adjustable restricted valves in paintball energy limits Umarex have come into the market as home defence with a restricted valve option. I’ve said many times how much I dislike airsoft glasses, I’ve seen BBs get in the side and glasses dislodged but these guns don’t belong anywhere near an airsoft game They belong with full face protection and at safe power limits Personally I do have an Umarex .50” revolver as a lockdown purchase, and it came from a reputable Uk retailer. It has never been fired and won’t be used anywhere until I’ve done some proper chrono & range testing

350fps on 0.2g is (about) 1.13J which is (about) 311fps with a 0.25g BB. Unless your site is still chronoing with 0.2g BBs (yuk) I'd suggest you to start thinking and home-chronoing in Joules and your usual BB weight rather than in fps. You're currently at about 0.87J which is pretty weak. Can I ask how you improved the air seal, and how you tested that? With good air seal, it should be hard or impossible to push the piston forward with your thumb pressed over the nozzle, like this. That should be achievable just with fresh and/or stretched and well silicon greased piston and cylinder head o-rings. The reason that I stress the importance of this is that it determines how much spring you need, or don't need. For example, I have a dirt cheap CYMA M4 with stock air seal components but with spot-on airseal and a ZCI 6.01mm 229mm barrel, and hopping 0.2g, I'm seeing bang on 1.13J with a fresh M90 spring. The other possibility is air loss between the nozzle and the hop. Hop buckings aren't all identical, and a fraction of a mm difference in the lips can result in a leak. Sometimes it's just a case of pushing the barrel back into the hop unit a bit more firmly. Or pushing the hop unit back against the gearbox harder - the little spring on top of stock rotary hop units isn't great, and can be replaced with a stronger spring slipped over the barrel, or by popping rubber o-rings over the barrel to press the hop unit back. So the answer is really: it depends. With good air seal, you should notionally want an M100 or M105 spring for UK limits. However, G&Gs tend to come with an M100-ish spring, so either that's got very tired and needs replaced like-for-like, or the air seal isn't good enough, or the air seal is perfect but airsoft witchcraft is working against you and you'll need to go up to (e.g.) an M110 anyway. The first thing I'd buy is a cheap airsoft chronograph to take the guesswork out of it. Better to invest on that than to lose a day's play and travel due to a hot gun. tl;dr version: Squish that barrel and hop backwards, and chrono. then Grease those seals, and chrono. then Throw in an M110, and chrono. If you come out over 1.13J at any point, it's easy enough to cut a spring down, so it's reasonable enough to buy a hotter spring than you think you'll need, and then clip it down to come out just under the site limit.

Yeah I’d wait a while to see what the performance is like and the prices to come down a bit before I buy one. I might also wait for the CO2 version if that does become a thing.

I like mine mounted at the 12 o’clock, I can activate with both hands and the pressure pad for the PEQ site right behind. I think it depends on the type of light your trying to mount and also what your trying to clear at the shooty end. Light bar’s are the way if your running a suppressor that’s for sure BUT mounting them under the barrel has been done so for a long time because it works…and if it ain’t broke!

I have mine mounted between 12 and 3 o'clock, pretty far forward with pressure pad mounted on top rail. This setup had been used at a number of CQB sites now and I have no issues with it. The suppressor does cast a bit of a shadow but with 1500 lumens being pumped out, any area I point it at gets so flooded with light that the shadow is negligible.

Trying to prove your internet worth by trying to belittle an old person is quite sad. My 3 year old painted that red dot if you’ve not been sad enough to scroll that back far through my posts 😊

heavy 🙃

My "iron" sights are hacked out of EVA foam, and my new secondary is a revolver. Oh, yeah, HFC HG-132 arrived today. Fun, in very short bursts. The plastic grip isn't secured that well, and the claimed energy levels for the 4" barrel version are hugely optimistic. I'm seeing 0.5J, barely above AEP levels. Consistency is meh too, not even 12" at garage ranges, making the adjustable rear sight a bit of a gimmick. Apparently it's got a fixed hop but whether it does, and what it might hop, remains to be discovered. Still, it's a revolver, it's a little better than a springer, apparently very gas efficient, and you can load from the front of the cylinder fairly quickly rather than dumping the shells. Any hit with it should be a "Yass!" moment.
