I have two ex's. One of which I don't speak with and one of which I am still living with (A very recent development and the reason why I have been very quiet forum wise). I would never air my grievances of my ex partners on a public forum. Keep it private, it's just not the done thing and reflects badly on you.

Belt kit done* (from left to right) * FRV shooter belt * Grimloc & PIG gloves *Backcountry Workshop G19/olight holster * Direct Action dump pouch w/ Esstac kywi mid naked inside * Esstac double naked kywi tall * Kydex Customs BFG holder * Esstac double pistol gap pouch I shoot rifle LH, pistol RH hence the odd layout! Space left on the left of the belt as this is where the rifle naturally hangs. The holster looks a bit crowded but once the belt is wrapped around me it is clear. *for a given value of “done”

We use some fancy things, but we use them as event organisers & give access to players (we might let players directly operate things or we might have staff operating them on behalf of players) If the site is happy then you can use your own - and you retain full liability Drones are a tricky one - it can be an offence to fly a drone over people, look into the types, sizes etc and permissions etc Its a bad thing when a drone gets shot down onto players (It’s also a bad thing for the player who shoots an event drone on camera being recognised by the operator and their unique balls being left embedded in the drones polystyrene body shell) The suitcase here gives players sight of drone and/or RC cameras and the switches to control devices carried by drone and/or RC car. Players are more likely to be allowed to drive the RC car then to fly the drone. Our ‘pilot’ would operate the drone We have various other gadgets to play with

I couldn't care less what my ex would or would not post about me. I would make sure I was the better person and not air dirty laundry in public. What good could this possibly do for your situation or son?

Tm MWS mk 18 started off life as M4A1

Thanks boys. Appreciate the feedback and will definitely take it under advice and run it past the boy 👍

The latter half of the season really picks up pace and was the most entertaining thing I've seen in ages. I rated it better than Reacher, which I also really enjoyed. The action is really cool - you can see that they had real SEALs teaching the gunfighting skills. The movements were much more deliberate and methodical compared to the John Wick high-speed style of action (which was driven by a 3-gun competition guy). Nothing wrong with John Wick mind, the Chapter 4 trailer looks amazeballs.

You can only just about get black anodising to match, you'll often not get it even between the same company's batches of tan let alone different manufacturers haha. Bits of mis-matching as a result of periodic upgrades and accessory swaps are a sign of something getting actually used, it's a good look that you can't fake out of the gate, has to be built up over years to be convincing.

I'm not yet, but I'd like to using an app like traceforce or Ares alpha. Basically they track you and your squads location via GPS which for a big event like the trees could be super useful. For general skirmishes I think they'd be useful even if just to help link up with your mates after regen or if used by others on your team, where you can plug holes in defences or add new angles on attacks. Trouble with any advantages you're willing to pay for you'll get morons who say they'll intentionally try to damage it. Shoot at drones, use power blinding light against night vision etc, most of the threats probably wouldn't happen or aren't effective (torch Vs good night vision), but that weird threat/risk is always there. Ultimately these advantage giving pieces of kit as are available for everyone if people are inclined.

Post game snap, enjoyed running the belt as it was a hot one! Jeans were a nice change too, can’t beat a nicely fitting pair of Levi’s (not fancy enough for Armani like Craighead). Face blur for uglies and such.

Pretty damned awesome day at UCAP Valiant today. Some of the best airsoft I've played in years. It was a last minute idea to go there - I was going to take my boys to Camouflage Airsoft near Bournemouth Airport but the online bookings closed on Sat.) - but I am so glad we ended up at Dorchester Prison. If you've not experienced the venue, it's absolutely worth going to experience it at least once.

Coyote is underrated, nice kit!

I’ll try put how to footage up this weekend; I’ve got one more epm mag so I can do it completely from scratch.

My HAO bolt end is in customs right now, and I have an AG hard kick buffer incoming as well. Can't wait to try it!

Fitted the AG Hard Kick steel buffer today. Along with the Hao heavy bolt end and TM bolt it gives a nice thump when fired. Similar to a soft shooting 5.56x45 and while it did slow down full auto (not that I use it) double taps were still snappy enough. When the temp drops I have the Alu and OG plastic buffers in the spares box (and a whole lightweight bolt!) I need to fill a mag with 14g gas and see how many shots I get from it. As long as I can get 70+ I will be happy.

Im hopping .45g at 6/7 and Im hitting people, your with the human side, I served so I know about shooting but these are BBs. Have look at longbow.com and speak to Jason.

Just to throw something else into the blender... Have a look at Jing Gong (JG) offerings. Very good value for money especially if he doesn't mind a polymer body (weight will be more suited to him)

Whilst I agree with your sentiment generally about Nuprol, this particular charger is actually reasonably decent - it's a rebranded 'GT Power' unit that is sold under various brands such as Overlander, Konect and RC Plus. If my only use for it was to charge a couple of Airsoft batteries, and I already bought/owned it, then I would keep using it - there be little gain switching to another brand.

Using tech in these type of games is great, as long as everyone is on the same page. I used my night vision for the first time at Gunman Eversley and it was great. Had to make lots of adjustments, helmet and strap changes, so much better now. It was telling when players would flash their lights at me to cause a blinding effect - they failed to realise that the night vision reduced the intensity ,then they got shot…haha!

No it's an Ares one. Thank you for the link though, I'll try them. You'd have thought a 40mm killflash would fit a 40mm scope wouldn't you. Those Chinese eBay sellers are useless!

My OCD hurts so but I admit that your right!

Finally I’ve managed to finish my two projects. Still thinking to fit FDE Magpul grip to mod1 and put the black one to M4.

There's a bit of a theme developing here. If you want some solid, straightforward toxic masculinity not dripping with CURRENT_YEAR tropes, then Amazon seems like the place to be. Reacher: Sherlock Holmes crossed with the Punisher. Big burly bloke puzzles out a crime, and anyone who fucks around finds out. Far closer to the source novels than the daft movies where Tiny Tom Cruise gnaws on kneecaps. Great casting, decent writing, pacing and production. Feels like a throwback to the 1990, when the novels were written, in all the best ways. The Terminal List: Not dissimilar. Chris Pratt as a Navy SEAL looking for answers after his team gets wiped out, with questions over his own mental state and stability. Pratt does a surprisingly credible job, far more serious than prancing around guarding the galaxy. Some interesting details, including SEAL explosive sniffing doggos and the merits of 9mm versus .45 (2oo wurld warrrghs), with multiple military advisers credited. It turns into a pretty slow burn after a hot start, but it picks up as it goes, with some dick-punching, eye-gouging, arm-biting, double... no triple-tapping action. Not up there with Extraction, but still both better than I'd expected.

....and the rest depending which county/force you are having to deal with you could be looking at 2 years before you even get a home visit and even then you may not be granted a cert. I consider myself lucky mine was done and dusted in 5 months. Also a lot of GP's are starting to refuse to provide medical background checks (which is part of the license grant (I paid for mine to be provided privately). Selling shotguns in the UK has become simpler now than it used to be now that the police have moved to an online format. Now its as simple as updating your ticket and informing the police via a website of any sold/bought shotgun (can speak for FAC). Guntrader (while having a data breach mid lockdowns) is still pretty functional in terms of sales, I actually bought a new Mossberg last year and bar the seller taking a while to sort out transfer to my local RFD it was all pretty simple but still more loops to jump through than in the US where you can literally sell via craigslist - not sure if you can still sell firearms on eBay in the US though?

Gearset and shims should arrive today so fingers crossed I can figure it out. I’ll update when I’ve got some news

Ok, I will say it again. The media lies, they are adding stuff in there to exasperate the falsities from truth. Of that 1 million, I will bet there is a 99.9% reason of corrupt data, incomplete data, or is a duplicate entry. There are more, what they call "delays", for reasons of same names, data entry errors, or something else that does not indicate a "prohibited person". I will provide a link to the Form 4473 that we have to fill out (with some exceptions this is not needed) at the time we purchase a firearm. It basically wants to know your readily available Name, age, race, etc.. Our Social Security number is one given to use at a young age, and is the ONLY thing the federal Gov't has to make us unique. Tracking . It is NOT required and some folks are tinfoil hat nervous about this, so they opt to leave it out. How many John Smith do you think exist in the USA? Tens of thousands. You can guess why that may cause a delay in the right circumstance. Makes sense. Now, we run MILLIONS of 4473/background checks per year, 2021 there were over 38 million alone. That is one person, with a minimum of one gun per data point. It could be 1 or 100 guns, but ONLY one person. To have 1 million delayed is very understandable as a margin of data point errors. More so when dealing with an incompetent govt agency. Pretty sure the UK is just as bad..LOL. Out of that 1 mil that very well may be a known felon? I would say one in 5 million. They are very anal about putting felons on the data records, and part of that Delay up above. They will accidently put it ON more people than NOT putting it on the ones they should. Before you bring up any of our more famous "mass shootings", these are failures AT A COMMUNITY level. So, the local dont give a shit if they are protecting a nut job, and those types are.....well.... you will have to do the math. Use this link to see total number of 4473/background checks since 1998. https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/nics_firearm_checks_-_month_year.pdf/view CHEATER: Last 24 years, there were 427,444,071 BG/4473 ran. In the last 24 years, I dont think we have had 12 of those mass shootings. The ratios are something beyond my math skills , but I am sure people have a better chance of hitting the 100 million lottery than they do getting killed by a mass shooter. I will take those odds all day long. As for the day to day shootings we have, well, that TOO is a local problem and not country wide. Just a small compact area where leadership fails to maintain peace. It is very confusing to people who do not live here and I understand your sentiment, but I am happy to give you the truth. No hard feelings at all. Truth should never make one mad. Like I said, I HAVE to pay attention to the guns laws and news as people want to make me, and every other law abiding gun owner, a criminal. Think about that. So we know the truth/facts, and love to share it. Link to the 4473 form https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/4473-part-1-firearms-transaction-record-over-counter-atf-form-53009/download If you are buying at a private sale, this is not required, but you can take the gun to an FFL and have it done there. Both you and the buyer would pay $25 or more each to the FFL. Once this is filled out, it is sent into the the FBI national criminal database (all computer driven). Within an hour it is either good , denied. Sometimes that answer can go out 24 hours. There is also a number of days it can go unanswered before being considered "good to go". I would like to say 5 days. I can hunt it down if you would like. I have a concealed carry permit, so my 4473 goes straight to the storage bin and bypasses the check. I have already been....well..... licensed to bypass that check. Cost me about $15 per 5 years. It also means I can pack a pistol on me as I go about my daily life. If I have on pants, I have a gun. LOL. Not that I am scared, but for the same reason I wear my seatbelt. Never know when it will come in handy. Ok, next question

Went to an abstract gallery today. What a load of Pollocks...

Interesting stuff. I shall take it under advisement and report back. I'm just about to go camping for a week, so I plan to experiment with re-colouring the upper when I get back. I think I'll try the spray stuff first because it suits my setup better. But if that doesn't work I'll definitely look at trying the bath approach

I think one thing we're all in agreement about, whether in the UK or USA, no matter what actions our respective governments do, or are considering to do against airsofters/real steel or any other gun shaped hobby the simple truth is for those who want firearms for criminal or murderous intent, they'll get them, or in the case of the Japanese assassin, make them.

Yep, both were imho very good, can't see us getting a second season of the Terminal List 😟, but I'm hopeful about S2 of Reacher, there's enough books to choose from, for some reason the wife really enjoyed it too, I can't think why 🤔💪 Watched the Gray Man over on Netflix last night, pretty good, kinda Bourne/Wick lovechild

no consistency problem just seeing if it's worth doing or not. I have the 70 degee bucking chubb nub so I'm getting the range of 80 plus meters.

Sorry sir, but you have a lot of incorrect information here. 1st. Our Constitution is Law. COTUS (Constitution of The United States) protects our right to arm ourselves from any Gov't intrusion. It doe NOT grant us any Rights, it protects them. We also do not have any licensing requirements for ownership. We do have a background check if you are buying from an FFL (Federal Firearm Licensed Dealer). Not only does it check for criminal flags, but also citizenship. Which makes a LOT of sense. We do have many States that require a "permit" to carry on your person. It is technically a violation of Law (COTUS). Private sales are not a "loophole" it is EXACTLY how COTUS is written, so, I will say politely, you have it backwards. I do like how you lay out "civilized world". This is a political term that is basically saying "non poors". We also love keeping data. For good or bad, we just keep too many records. Far too many countries have either Gov't killing the citizens, or killing each other. In almost EVERY country, Gov't has a monopoly on violence. Think about that. I will ask you to please, for all things decent, stop getting your information from the media. They are 90% liars, and our population is far too gullible to to do our own research. That said, do we have a gun problem, no sir. We have a really shitty legal system, along with some terrible social systems that are....how can I say..... oppressive . I dont mean racist, I mean oppressive. We have a multi tier legal system based on social pressure. Not kidding, and it is not only sad, but infuriating. I dont claim to know it all, but what I do know comes from someone who, if my home was ever raided, would read like a guy ready to go to war with a small country. Funny thing is, I am a small player in the massive group of people I know, when it comes to the number of guns owned. Having 30-50,000 rounds of various ammo is a bit embarrassing to be honest. I really cant beg enough (and I hate begging) PLEASE stop listening to the media. EDITED TO ADD: We do have a few States that have a FOID (Firearms Ownership I.D.) card, and may have you list the guns you own. This is also a violation of law. I like the way you think sir. Very level headed and honest.

That's really impressive and surprisingly simple. Judging by where the mag is he's essentially taken a Glock and replaced the slide with the barrel assembly. Then he's replicated the real bolt and long recoil system of the real thing. I need one

Game day pic. Added a can and a light bar…which turned out not to be the same colour as the surefire so that needs sorting.

Had a game of frisbee with the dog today. He was useless..... I think I need a flatter dog.

Cropped out my feet as well forgot my boots like a donut so was rocking some vans but still. And an action photo in the heat of last Sunday over at iron site. Running full kit was a mistake

While it's not explicitly the m4, I recently purchased the m4's big, 7.62x51mm calibre sister in the SR-25 and I've been incredibly impressed with it (though it's a platinum edition, so it's also the expensive big sister...). Outside of that, I've owned both a Cyma m14 and a Cyma mp5k and both have been absolutely phenomenal out of the box. I'm 3 for 3 when it comes to Cyma RIFs being really great out of the box for good prices; I really don't think you can go too far wrong with Cyma these days.

As above, love my cm009, the mosfet is a worthwhile addition for a little extra initial outlay

416 finished, maybe 😂

Tacticool M4A1 to "good enough" xm177 build for Vietnam games as a backup rifle (I'm far from stitch-count filmsim!). Good thing is it literally takes me about 90 seconds to swap out the handguard for the rail system, the stock for the regular M4A1 stock and the carry handle for a red dot and back up iron sights. Sticking the magpuls back onto the mags might take a little longer than 90 seconds, but it's still fast! Thanks to @Wavey_Gravey and @Prolish for the parts I needed. Was a pleasure dealing with you chaps!

Hey kinda new to this thread I found it and has been using it as a guide to build my own MWS DMR build figured I finally drop by and say hello and thanks for all the information about this platform, I really enjoyed working on it and having fun using it at my local field.

If you like a certain rail, ask, most of us on this thread have probably gone through 2 or 3 😂

For the Uzi lovers

TM NGRS M4 CQB - very impressed 😁

Always been a big fan of Cyma AK’s and recently been switched on to their new Mosfet edition M4/M16 guns as well , I’ve got the CM.009E and it’s without a doubt one of the best AEG’s I’ve bought in a very long time and it’s only a few 🦑 more than the one you’ve highlighted so if you can stretch to it I’d highly recommend one of their mosfet models . 👍 this is mine .

Not exactly a day of airsofting, but went big-boy pew pewing with the boy and my dad. Stumbletts Clay shoot near Horam. Been a couple of years since I last did this and was atrocious. The lad however.... Certainly kicked my arse with some pretty tricky stands. I remember wheb the place just opened up and was literally a shed and a couple of knocked together leaning posts for your guns. Over the years it's been improved and now the open area is like a sodding golf course. The lad's first time out with a 12-bore too. It's been poachers guns and 410 cartridges upto now. To top it all off we had a layover on the way home to pick up yet another pew pew. 20220717_101401.mp4

I'm no legal expert, but from reading this I think their insurance (or lack of) would be the last of their worries if they're offering paramilitary training https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Edw8and1Geo6/1/6 "Prohibition of quasimilitary organisations.
