AK105-VSU (11.5” barrel) I really enjoy making paint and environments work, spent a lot of time and collected a lot of Cerakote swatches and loads of aerosol tests. Some colours are very ‘reactive’ and play to the human eye changing quite dramatically in different light and backdrops.

I know this every time I look at my self in the mirror I want to see Chris Hemsworth looking back at me , but all I ever see is a short fat bald grumpy Welshman , Life isn’t fair !

Take him to the nearest shop you can find and tell him he can have whatever he wants , once’s he’s finished taking everything to the counter asking him how he’s going to pay for it ? When he looks at you all confused tell him “that’s the reality of life son , sometimes you can’t have what you want unless you can pay for it yourself !” Then elbow him out of the way and buy yourself something REALLY EXPENSIVE ! Be a valuable life lesson for him ? 😈😈😈😈

For every realistic pew I do, one of these happens

AAP build starting to take shape, waiting for a pair of custom grip scales with Ruger medallions inset, low profile mount for the Viper and a freshly cerakoted metal upper receiver to come back from Jack at Airsoft Engraver with Ruger MK4 Competition trades

I got sacked from my job because l kept asking my customers whether they would prefer Smoking or Non-smoking. Apparently the correct terms are cremation and burial.

It's true.... Slept through all my alarms and was anhour late for work the next morning. 😭 Thankfully it was me that had to administer the bollocking so it could have been worse. 😂

That does seem like a genuine possibility at this point.

Harsh. But fair!

Will find out in half an hour when he gets back from school - unless of course he's reading this - because I know his user name on this forum LOL. Boy - you're not that clever!!!! 🤣 To be fair to him he has been spending a lot of time lately planning ways to make himself money. The current, genuinely good idea, is upcycling.

40 quid for postage 🤯 He's feckin bonkers

Me and my best mate and various other friends used to go every year(obviously the pandemic put the mockers on that !) but we never went for the gameplay just for the social side and an excuse to act like kids again and decompress (we both have quite high stress jobs) , your NEVER going to have even a hint of control or mission effective planning with that many civvies ’playing war’ in the woods BUT did it really matter to us ? no not really , the huge numbers and the absolute cluster fuck those numbers caused was one of the very reasons we enjoyed going ! It is funny as hell when you’ve got two or three or even sometimes just one bloke holding up 10/20/30/+ players at a point for literally ages ! And to be honest we just played our own game we never followed the ‘game plan’ (hence we always play ‘others’)we had real satisfaction from spending our time slowly slowly making our way through the undergrowth to get as close as we could to an enemy objective or even their main base to try and pick off players who then act totally bemused when they get hit ! on more than one occasion we were found out not by the skill at arms of the other teams but by them hearing us giggling like a pair of school girls due to the confusion we just caused ! 🤦‍♂️🤣 it started loosing its appeal for me when they stopped bring the shop to the site , I do fully accept it must have been an absolute nightmare getting it their and set up and yes you can still order on line and they’ll deliver to you on site BUT for me personally and my mate the thing is there are no Airsoft shops even vaguely close to where I live so this used to be my only experience of a shop(and from talking to them it was the same for a lot of other players too)so it certainly was a ‘kid in a candy shop’ for us and we certainly did a lot of impulse buying due to the goods being their in front of me but equally there were a few things I’d wanted but no longer did after seeing them ‘in the flesh’ either . So to finish my ramble all I’d say is if your thinking of going just do it and make your own mind up and don’t rely completely on others ‘opinions’ . Savvy ?

Hi, welcome to the forum! Initial first gun newbie advice is always - leave it alone until you've used it a while and then decide if it actually needs more power/better barrel/different hop rubber. H03 is from the Specna ONE series if I remember correctly so it probably needs the gearbox out to get at the spring anyway. Easy, simple upgrade would be a ZCI barrel and a Maple Leaf macaron rubber with the Maple Leaf Omega nub. Should give you a bit of a bump in power without taking you over the site limit too. Speak to @ak2m4 about what he can supply from his wondrous website www.ak2m4.co.uk

I've used the Warrior Assault Systems taco pouches for G3, M14 and M4 (both STANAG and plastic styles) and they work well. Otherwise, you could look at the NI/SADF style chest rigs where one size swamps all.

I used to run the Domino's on the Bournemouth road (opposite the retail park and pizza hut) many moons ago...

Just wanted to say thanks guys, the delayer chip has sorted the issue completely, even with the slightly faster motor I've installed.

the gigant ! Lol !! this was peak performance !

Wash your mouth out sir ! 😱 the creators of Souvlaki were debating the meaning of life when the kebab mongers were still arguing over who’s goat was the prettiest one !

There are dozen of M4s that you can look into, but there's no magic formula to find the perfect one. Whichever one gives you a tingly feeling in your swimsuit area is the right one for you.

Phew. That was a close shave then. 😂 Yeah likely story. That ones been done to death. You gotta come up with something more believable 😂😂 Regards

Shish kebab with extra marketing steps.

G36 pouches with homemade kydex inserts - yes they fit SVD/SVU mags with firm retention .

Doesn't hold a candle to the chrome and carbon fibre Thompson 😂

I have one of the double warrior quick mag pouches. They do work or m14/scar h/ 308 magazines but I don't like it as much as using an AK pouch, specifically the open bungee style with the bungee removed and a kydex insert. The reason I prefer the ak pouch for the 308 mags is that the double taco type looses some grip once one of the magazines is out of the pouch.

No worries, drop me a message if you fancy them.

Could be interested indeed, but I might well invest in a couple nade pouches on eBay as there's a few that are the same as my kit already. 👍

There's the obvious (and no doubt soon to be suggested by others) Smersh SVD rig that you could easily put over your Osprey. All the SVD pouches on Grey Shop call them suitable for .338 mags in general so maybe the 338 pouches from Warrior would work? https://www.uktactical.com/product/warrior-338-single-mag-multicam-5542 (I actually have a couple in tan if you're interested).

How dare you say that about the brand I have just invested (checks receipt...) £77.75 in! I am totally invested! And now that I have bought the darned things, about 27 flavours of high quality mag pouches at bargain prices will inevitably pop up in the classifieds. It's always the way...

I got into it because I was watching the lad have a wail of a time when I took him for a day, that I did a half day rental for the rest of the day, now its become a father/son thing..... Problem is I have adult money to buy my toys and he has to rely on windfalls of cash here and there for relatives. 😁

I got into it because I'm a gun nut 😅

Nope that's fine thanks...! I already have a couple of pistol pouches but they don't hold the hicapa mags very well, so this bungee version look the very thing to have

https://prefired.co.uk/ads/ak-47-2/ I didn’t even notice this one that he wants £100 for plus £40 postage 🤔

*Ahem... https://www.uktactical.com/product/warrior-assault-systems-double-quick-mag-multicam-11496

Depends on how much you want to spend, I enjoy quality gear and I’m a sucker for anything spiritus systems: https://www.spiritussystems.com/spud-pouch/ Fits everything including the world most awkward mag, G36.

Templar's Gear. Very high quality for the price, they are the pouches Novritsch ripped his designs off (causing a massive shitstorm a couple of years ago).

Still have the early version M11 cqb2. Backend is taped up but it still goes.

Hi I'm new to the forum... I've been involved in Airsoft for over 10 years and I'm 100% kosher ☺️

I find them handy as they happily take three hi cap STANAGs and I'm sure would fit AK mags or others as they are adjustable. Also useful for any other tat you're carrying e.g. speedloaders, small first aid kit, tools, etc etc etc.

sentences i never thought i'd write: just embrace the convenience of pushing things through the sphincter when you need to dump, and make sure it closes up relatively tight so you don't go accidentally dropping anything..... as for the mag pouches it's always a balance, the speediboi stuff comes at risk of retention or in this case lack of specialization, more basic pouches aren't going to be as fast to access but on the flip side your mag is at least going to be there when you need it.

Eezer's Mk1 Space Marine loadout ready for its inaugural outing this Sunday. Forget Master Chief... Disaster Chief is about to hit the skirmish field. One of those kit-on-bed shots as tried selfie which was shit. Eezer G

Someone say Western Arms ? My small collection ( another 2, just not pictured)

pure nostalgia 😛

I used to slather bread in the stuff as a kid. Surprised that I avoided that having looked it up.

The finished mtw build is actually finished now 😂🤘🏻

A couple of shots of the USP 9 that I got recently and one with the UAR in tow - think they complement each other well aesthetically, nice sci fi ish vibe and something a bit different. Rather enjoying this pistol shooting it in the garden and skirmishing it this Sunday. Will probably paint the slide in Halfords OD like all my others...

Last weekend's 9h night tournament was a blast! We were missing one member (so we were 5 instead of 6), nonetheless we went balls deep and did almost everything! The tournament itself was very interesting since in order to locate/complete some objectives we had to find information inside other objectives (namely Objective 4, its coordinates were found inside Objective 3, E1's coordinates were found in either E4 or E2 and the rest was distributed throughout the AO). Storyboard was that we had to help a sniper called "Silent Arrow" in eliminating a drug lord, by recovering information around the AO so we could tell him which person to kill. (map for reference with all the objectives marked) At the start (11:00 PM) our guns were taken away and transported to an unknown location (AEG on the map), we were then given a small cartographic exercise in order to find the coordinates, hiked from the HQ to AEG, collected our gear and proceeded to C2, then E4 and E2, since they were limited to a very short time frame (30 mins each, 01:00-01:30 E4, 01:30-02:00 E2), here we had to wait for a car to leave small boxes along the road (marked in green), those boxes contained very useful information regarding other objectives, mainly coordinates and items we needed. If one team was not able to recover those two packages within the given time limit, they would have had to hike back to the HQ and ask for them, with a point penalty of 500 points per package (which means being last, since 1000 points equal two combat type objectives). This is where we had our only engagement with a patrol which lasted a whopping 15 seconds, we got spotted because another team, who was sitting in the tree line next to us, ran away creating a lot of noise so the patrol got alerted. When we opened fire they melted, but still, 100 points lost -.- (another 200 if you lose the engagement) With those two packages retrieved, we headed back to the HQ so we could input the coordinates in our GPS devices and plot a sensible route. The main goal was to reach C1 as fast as possible because it was the objective with the strictest time frame (03:00-03:30), unfortunately we fucked up navigation and barely missed it, so we decided to do Obj.2, here we had to injure (by shooting him in semi auto in non vital parts, essentially arms and legs) a dude, extract him and blow up a building. Barely completed it, we messed the extraction part because we didn't have enough time. After that, we skipped WP4 and went to WP3, WP2, WP15, stumbled upon Obj.4 (had to insert a chip inside a laptop without being seen by the defenders), WP5, attacked Obj.3 where we had to blow up a laboratory, then moved counter clockwise through WP11, WP6, Objective 1 where we had to exfiltrate a case of radioactive material and take a picture of a scientist, after telling him apart from the rest (they all had images of chess pieces on them, it was relatively easy because he had a king), skipped WP7 because we didn't realize we were that close, went WP14, E7 and E1. At E1 we found the sniper, who was an archer IRL and he had setup a shooting range with four dummies at a good 35 metres, we gave him the correct name and he fucking pierced the dummy with an arrow from that distance. Kudos, that was a fucking good shot! (We were later informed that he was competing in the national archery championship, so yeah). On our way back to the HQ we went to C3 and then finished at 07:35 AM. Back at HQ we did a small debrief with the organizers and noticed that they had given us 5000 points in total, we thought we were like last, or second to last, since we had skipped a few waypoints, skipped C1, almost fucked up Obj.2 and we were the last team to finish.. Fast forward 20 minutes, results were out.. Last team (of 6) did 3250 points, then 3 more teams with less than 3500, hype started to build up and then, drum rolls, the 2nd team got 3850 points!!!! Well colour me impressed! Never thought we could have had such a large gap from the 2nd! Unfortunately I forgot to turn on track recording on my GPS, but my mate's said we hiked around 23 kilometres, in 8 and a half hours, not too bad! Kit wise, a last minute change I made was to bring the Mayflower instead of the TMR, and it was a really good choice, the thing is 100x more comfortable and lighter despite the overall larger signature and capacity. What let me down was the backpack, 3 hours in and it started digging into my shoulders despite having only two litres of water, one bag of BBs and one NVG monocular in its protective soft pouch, along with spare batteries and a tiny bit of food so I'm gonna have to look around for a replacement. And a stronger insect repellent, my arms are filled with bites it looks like i have a plague of some sort! Group picture before starting (mhm, tinted lens in pitch black conditions, fucking 1000000iq play )

meanwhile, somewhere in Austria...... super duper engineer :ponders to himself....'man , I wish I could make something like that...'. "hey, We could use that as our USP on the new ssx3000sTi." nov :"ya, but don't you think it'll get annoying and have no real advantage over any normal pistol?" nov marketing : "chris, the memes gone viral and has over 30.5M views and shares and has comments like 'this is so cool', it has legs and WILL make you more money and make you even more COOL" nov: "well what the f**k are you waiting for?" disclaimer : light hearted fun. I own a lot of novritsch products (incl RIF'S) and I cannot fault any of them.

I've got these on pretty much everything I want to protect (torches and optics), can't fault either the product or the service.
