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 ?4 points -

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 ? 😉3 points

The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
SussexMatt and 2 others reacted to Rogerborg for a topic
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?3 points -

Tactical Pith Helmet and 2 others reacted to Rogerborg for a topic
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.3 points -
The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Skullchewer and 2 others reacted to Impulse for a topic
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!3 points -
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. 😎👍3 points

Probably your best bet. I'm fairly zen when it comes to Strikeforce.

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.2 points -
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.2 points

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.2 points -

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.2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points -
NGRS Mk18 was early 2019, MWS Mk18 was late 2020. But as you say, whether there is anything to be gleamed from that is unlikely. As Dave says, the bulk of the look is the rail. If you’re after the shorter variant the 9.3” from/by HAO is the one folks will likely recommend (myself included), just be sure to select the MWS barrel nut to make your life as easy as possible. Starting with the CQBR as your build base gives you the barrel length you’re shooting for. After that it’s just completing the look with a replica SF four prong muzzle device, and then throwing whatever ‘tactical gubbins’ you want on the rail.1 point

Glass BBs?!
Rogerborg reacted to Speedbird_666 for a topic
No clue. But the balls were mangling metal bread bins (normally used as a target holder and BB catcher for the guys that shoot 4.5mm pistols) with relative ease. I would say that higher-end goggles with a proper safety rating and decent retention (i.e. a strap around the head) would fair ok, but cheapo eyepro glasses that some insist on wearing would be blasted clean off someone's face. A shot to the mouth would definitely require a trip to the dentist. And the revolvers - well, they lend themselves to 'custom' projectiles being cylinder-based. A guy on the range made some nasty looking rounds using chopped up hot glue stick (which fit the cylinder perfectly) as wadding and various sharp bits of pointy metal set into them. Whilst I doubt that said person would ever point his gun at a human (he's a pretty cool dude from chatting with him), I'm sure some other idiot would have a similar ideas.1 point -
I would argue that, since it's Firearms Act 1968 that's being amended, and (compliant) airsoft guns aren't firearms for the purposes of that Act. This is crucial for us in the Democratic People's Republic of Caledonia, since if airsoft guns were to be considered "air weapons", then we'd need to be loicensed to possess them. Dibble can recommend anything he likes, but 24ZA doesn't prescribe any particular form of storage. The offence is "fail[s] to take reasonable precautions to prevent any person under the age of eighteen from having the weapon with him". And in context, this isn't a hypothetical "could" situation, since it goes on to list exceptions that apply to specific minors. So even if "air weapon" covered airsoft (and it doesn't), it's only an offence if a minor does get their greasy unsupervised paws on it. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/24ZA1 point

With a raised optic, 12 o'clock works well for me. Even with a suppressor you only really block the ground you can't see through the gun anyway. Plus if you have a torch with a brighter spot in the middle it doubles as a crude laser, makes it a bit easier to snapshot at close range.1 point -

The projectile does... That is the distinction, go above the legal limit, it is treated as a firearm, it is also treated as a fire arm in public. yuet it still remains an item that is for its INTENDED PURPOSE not treated as a firearm until you do something stupid that then makes it illegal. Even my local police recommend that I store my guns as in my real guns and RIF's in a gun safe.1 point -
