  4. 95% of the time the problem is cheating cnut players, whether its chrono cheating, hit taking or general rule breaking, eradicate that & life would be much easier all round, for all involved. I can but dream.......

  5. Yep, & it won't change unless players voice their opinions & then vote with their feet. What gets me though, if your not going to enforce pretty much any of the "core rules" of Airsoft, why bother with employing (?) a team of Marshalls.

  6. Gave the Platatac Dax v4tigers a run out, up there with my favourite variants of the G3-alikes. The double knee cinch on the rear and the elasticated bottoms are particularly welcomed additions.

  8. This. At my old site we didn't have marshals and 99% of the time they weren't needed. I think this was down it being run as a club rather than a site to make money

  10. It does only take a few bad apples though. Driver also strikes me as a site that only cares about maxing player count. It means enough for walk-on only games so they go hard, but there's a much higher chance of some dipshits turning up. But the site has your money now, and since they're the "premium" site in the area so they don't care, they'll always get players next weekend.

  11. That's pretty much the correct military way to store an AR 15. You can't safety an m4 unless the gun has been charged. You would normally make sure gun was safe, mag out, empty chamber etc etc, send the bolt forward and fire off the action in semi. Then store it that way.

    That's your phone ya daft get! I've been ringing for hours 🤣 But yeah do sympathise. After years of using high dB tools, I've recently been told that I have lost certain frequencies which make it difficult picking out consonants. Drives Mrs shamal bonkers lol. Regards

  18. I can see very little point to it at my local sites. It seems to be more about having a few meekish, warmish bodies in day-glo vests standing around taking pictures for InstaFace, while the mandatory Angry Man yells "No full auto in buildings" over and over again without taking any corrective action. Fortunately, the players themselves are pretty decent, so it's rarely an issue. A notable exception is (or was) the Depot where the marshalling was generally active and effective. Players (self included on occasion) were taken aside and had things explained, rather than tiresome tirades of ineffectual generalised yelling. Dickish behaviour got you punted off site, and a marshal got sacked off for cheating chrono. I even saw the site owner being spot-check chronoed in game by his own lead marshal - the friendly-but-firm bouncer that I now view as the ideal template. I have no idea what the consequences would have been, but as an illustration that the rules apply to everyone, no favouritism or exceptions, it was hard to beat.

  19. If you want to retain situational awareness you are going to need to invest in Milspec ear pro. Simple as that. I have had the same set of Sordins now for around 12 years and they are still going strong. https://www.earshotcommunications.co.uk/shop/product/sordin-75302-x-g-supreme-pro-x-green-earshell-camo-headband-gel-earpads/ Back then you could buy the parts to mod them into having a microphone as well. I don't think these parts are available now. So would be worth running to the mic'd version. What ever you do. It will cost you less than losing your hearing.

  21. Tm specifically dosent make their guns for export. Its one of the reasons they can put trade marks on their guns without licensing. In Japanese law if you are only making a product for sale in japan you can use other peoples logos and such no issue. If they started making them for export they wouldn't be able to use h&k trades and such. Thats as far as I understand it. Take that with a pinch of salt. I may be wrong. Third party companies buy from tm and export for them so if they started making higher fps versions that would mean they are making versions for export and would lose that protection.

    Any ear pro is better than no ear pro , CQB or woodland, as I found out when a mk9 went off on a tin roof shed that I was taking cover in 🤪

    +1 on the Howard Leight Impacts. The more Gucci headsets will have an attached mic, but if you're looking for ear pro only, you can't go wrong with the Howards.

    Any of the surefire EP’s will be gtg, they have a cap (usually red) you can flick open if you want more sound or to have a conversation without removing them. Howard Leight impact sports are a good cheap option, they don’t look out of place among the mil style headsets, theyre slimmer too! Replace the pads with gel pads and you have a very comfy setup IMO.

  26. You know what I'd like? Some basic honesty. I mean, if a site said "We don't care about chrono, we don't care about over-shooting, we don't care about hit-taking. Go out there and mag dump on each other. First guy to cry loses." I'd actually respect that. At least you'd know what you were getting into.

  27. This. I have a couple of sets of 3M Peltor XPs that are amazing, and really help maintain situational awareness. Watch out for cheap knock-offs and low-end stuff though - many are monoaural which completely kills your directional hearing. My neighbour (who also plays) found this the hard way thinking a cheapo Aliexpress set would be in any way decent.

    And they went through his bedside drawers? Clearly more to it, if there's any truth to it at all. Well, well, Scotland, and apparently fell foul of airgun licensing. Now, that's something that I've been wondering about for some time given that I've yet to see this "frangible" exemption that's bandied around for paintball. And these "home defence" guns clearly aren't intended to be used for paintball, given that they're being flogged with rubber or plastic projectiles. If Dibble did find something in the 1J to 6 or 12 foot-pound range, loaded with plastic (or steel for all we know) and ready to go, I can't see any other reasonable classification for it other than an air weapon. It is not. The only defence that we have is in https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-violent-crime-reduction-act-2006-commencement-no-3-order-2007-firearms-measures which only lists airsoft. Looks like paintballers are trying to cosy up to our defence after acknowledging the bleedin' obvious: that something which is a realistic imitation of a firearm is indeed a realistic imitation firearm. The cheeky cads then go on to claim that while they enjoy the same defence, they have no need to demonstrate it with a UKARA-a-like scheme of playing history. They can just buy membership in the Paintball Gang and tool up. Which is really no worse than airsoft retailers pretending that cosplay is a defence, or accepting Military Vehicle Trust membership for purchase of modern RIFs. Verrrry interesting, thanks for the the reference.

  32. 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.

  34. I've been watching a Japanese airsofters YouTube channel and it's quite interesting to learn how they play. From what I understand, the majority of their sites are CQB. Even outdoors they run around a village type area or between shipping containers etc. Also they only have three different BB weights, 0.20's, 0.25's and 0.28's. The last of which can only be used if they're in a bolt action rifle. I don't think they have any MED, so they're happy if they can reach 30M with their bolties. TM have been regarded as one of the top Airsoft manufacturers for a very long time and are obviously successful/content the way things are. Why mess with that formula.

  35. Firstly simply take the plastic base plate off and tighten the Philips screw. They work loose. Failing that take the base out and reseat the seal with silicon grease

  36. That's a shame, surely TM's worldwide market exceeds its Japan home market, & especially when it comes to snipers, they'd cater for it ?

  37. If you're sure its from the base rather than the fill valve then you'll have to open the base and use Silicone oil on the rubber seal. Maybe even soak it for an hour or so. Worst case, you might need a new one but they're cheap. To open the base is either a couple of pins through the sides or a screw at the bottom.

  38. Sordin Supreme pro-x are solid and reliable and would be a good asset to your hearing issues , for CQB I’d consider over ear for simple fact it’s also a good way to protect your ears from bb strikes too if you want simple in-ear protection on a budget from bangs then consider the Surefire plugs . i use both types depending on the environment ( work and play )

    In my opinion - no In the opinion of the quoted barrister consulted by the UKPSF - yes If you were to delete the word ‘airsoft’ from ‘airsoft skirmishing’ then I’d agree Based on the Association of police constables fact finding study and previous correspondence between the UKPSF and the Home Office then I’d agree that there have been musings that it could be argued in court as the intent of the law, where as the literal wording of the statutory instrument wouldn’t

    Yeah love the reptilia grip, only improvement it could use is a small nub that covers the gap between the grip and trigger guard like the BCM grip has.
