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" ?

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.

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

Well that's two sites I will not bother with. The sites may be good, but if the marshals aren't going to sort problems then no point me going. Really can't be arsed with dickheads like that on the field, when there's other sites that do deal with the tossers.

"worth it" is a very subjective term in this hobby. yes you absolutely could improve the performance of most stock pews, although how much money/time/effort you're willing to spend to get there and wether or not the improvement will be enough for you to justify it is entirely down to you. this is the primary reason to suggest, for the time being at least, leaving well enough alone. as the saying goes "if it ain't broke don't "fix" it". main reason is it's very easy especially when you're just starting out to mess up installing parts or re-assembling the pew which could end up with it performing worse than before (even if the parts are better on paper) or even breaking, which needless to say sucks when you have to go home early because your pew isn't working and trust me that shit gets real old real fast. the best way around is to wait until you have a decent backup. you can either buy another pew then work on your current one or buy something specifically with the aim of tinkering with it and keeping your current as the backup. that said, you can just jump straight in like i did but at least you've been warned what'll happen so my conscience is clear for range/accuracy generally i tend to recommend the following as a rough guide, starts off with the easy/cheap stuff going to the harder/more expensive stuff: -cleaning the barrel on a regular basis, really makes a difference and i'd suggest doing it at least once before each outing. if you start going for tighter bore barrels you might find you need to clean even mid-game day. -good quality heavy ammo, personally i'm a fan of geoffs. weight wise it's a balance between cost/performance, heavier ammo will be better but it costs more and you might be limited by what the hop can lift. commonly folks tend to find the 0.28-0.32g range a nice compromise between price/performance for outdoor work. -changing hop bucking/nub combo, tied into above something like the maple leaf macaron tan+omega nub combo is gonna help spin up heavier ammo and isn't too expensive/difficult to install. -air seal, this is the big step up in difficulty because it involves cracking open the gearbox, so you might want to leave this be for the moment. the best way to check how decent the current setup is performing is to look at the range of fps values it's spitting out (ie when you say "about 300fps" then quantify that as 300fps±Xfps), the smaller the range of values the better. for the ways of checking air seal when assembling a gearbox have a look here. -spring, the reason why this isn't earlier in the list is you need to be sure you're not losing energy to an air leak, you may well find that the power jumps up from doing the previous 2 steps because of fixing leaks. however once you're sure that you're getting everything the spring has to offer and you're a decent chunk under the limit then you could look at a stronger spring. however for the moment sounds like it's close enough to not worry too much just yet. -barrel, we're very far down the diminishing returns curve at this point, so there might not be massive gains to be had here, but this is the point where you might find something like a zci 6.02 stainless might be worth a look at. worth being clear if what you want is a higher rate of fire in auto, or a snappier response in semiauto, and what you're currently using battery wise. for auto rate of fire generally running higher voltage batteries, faster motors or higher speed gearsets are the go-to. for semi-auto response you can boost by doing the above, but a mosfet with precocking can really make a big improvement without increasing the actual auto rate of fire (which can be good for longevity)

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

As you have an MWS too, you should know that you’ll need to cock it to be put into safe. Drop the hammer and leave it stowed in semi ??

If the gun is standard you may get higher fps by improving the airseal or fitting a tighter bored barrel.

Is Sabotage still going near MK? I had a damn good day out there a couple of years back. You won't go far wrong with a G&G M4 Ranger. It's just that other brands have got a lot better than they used to be. G&G have not got worse quality wise. I wouldn't pay too much for a first rif. When you get a few games under your belt and have a play with other people's toys, you may decide that you want something else or loadout specific.

Measure the screw and buy a new one. Buy a replacement QC spring guide; this one will probably fit: https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/products/Zero-One-Stainless-Steel-Spring-Guide-for-QD-Gearbox. If it has 4 lugs rather than the two you need, you can remove two of them.

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 ?

Welcome .

Bit late with this post but nonetheless. First time at Ambush Airsoft (Surrey) last weekend, not sure why I haven't been there sooner! I absolutely loved it compared to my other site, much better game modes and map areas. They were actively digging trenches on Sunday with diggers and understand they are always adding new components to the field. Apart from the 3 games I've played this year elsewhere, I haven't been airsofting for over 10 years. I went alone ? but honestly had the best time, met some great people including the staff who were very helpful. Can't wait to go back and have already decided to go for the anniversary game this weekend. @werkzeug @The Waco Kid There's a newbie perspective for you, so much more I could say so hit me up if you want any other info!

Coming next Licking Mustard being Guiness Certified as the world record holder for "most obnoxious airsoft personality"
