No, but given the travelling involved for me to attend, I'd have to hear a lot more positives about before I'd consider it. & that goes for any site or event really, spunking a load of money on fuel, then adding green fees on top, I'd be severely pissed if I then had a shite time due to organisation or wholesale cheating. The doped up fucktards I could just about tolerate, as long as its not at playtime etc.

Yeah they just landed in Hong Kong so I've started getting ready for arrival 🤣

This sums up life for me. "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing..." George Bernard Shaw Gonna have good and bad days if you're having more good than bad days and enjoy it stick with it. Its not cheap and I can always find things to spend money on, most I don't really need but its the same with most hobbies.

Just got an email - mine is on the way!!

Never seen one being used by site staff either in all the times I've been there. It's the only site I've never been chrono'd at. Ironically - GZ Urban at Sopley used to be super hot on chronoing - with a strict 328fps (1j) limit. That was fun when every retailer (including Z1) was aiming to kick their guns out at around the 340-350fps mark for woodland use and QD gearboxes were not a 'thing' yet. I saw guys rock up with brand new Combat Machines etc bought from Z1 themselves just a couple days before, unable to use them on the Urban site as they were 10-15fps too hot. Good times.

The problem is that people who have got absolutely wrecked via drugs and or alcohol should not be anywhere near airsoft guns; that is a situation where, due to impaired reactions and decision making, along with, in some/many cases, increased aggression, there is a very real risk of harming someone else. It is not about not liking being around people who are off their tits on drugs or alcohol, although I do dislike that; it is about safety.

That's exactly how cake works.

Oh ok. Maybe it's how cake works, I've had plenty of that.

Don't forget they add 20% "VAT" at checkout on AliExpress.

I very much doubt the anti gun lobbyists will ever even see this. The only reason for there to be any headlines about drugs and alcohol at an airsoft event is if something reportable happens which is incredibly unlikely (although I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone manages to set fire to the campsite at the minute). ANY large gathering of people will include a number of people that want to get absolutely wrecked via drink or drugs and a number of people who can't think of a worse way to spend their time. It is what it is and quite frankly BOTH sides need to get over themselves. Enjoy what you want to enjoy as long as it doesn't harm someone else and don't be a dick about the things you don't like.

The company name certainly seems to fit my requirements!

Like that classic text I sent to a team mate - “Got batteries & lube, all ready for the weekend” I enjoyed the weekend

I have a wanted post up where I'm looking for a particular scope. I received a message from user Chankz (recent joiner), telling me to email [email protected] who has a scope for sale. I emailed 'Abraham' who sent me some website photos of the item, and had a very poor knowledge of it. He wouldn't give me an asking price and kept asking me to offer. I asked him to send me a time-stamped picture and all communication stopped. Possible scammer for everyone's attention.

I was under the impression it had snapped something and wasnt sure what. I checked after your suggestion of a new hopup unit and seems relatively simple, so thanks for the direction. I'll try it as is and get the hop unit if it feels janky. Cheers.

Yeah, the guns and the pyro; they are not exactly insignificant, are they?

You & me both lol🤕

Funny enough I was looking for an MP7 and CHANKZ messaged me... I asked if he had a selling price and I got the same sorta response. I'd suggest staying away.

sounds fishy, report a pm he's sent you and the mods can take a look and swing the ol' banhammer.

If you are not sure then do a u turn.

Don't leave it too long though cause I don't know how long I got left 😂😂

I could supply names of 20+ positives just in my small circle of acquaintances. Come on down one year you will love it and it would be nice to meet you🙂👍

And that's different to any other campsite, how? (Apart from the guns - plenty of mischief can be had without those).

You're right though, second hand is second hand and £175 for something that cost him £200 isn't really a great price.

That's not what I said and you know it. If someone is intoxicated then they shouldn't be playing, that much we can agree on but as far as what goes on in the campsite, there's more likely to be belligerent behaviour from the drinkers than the tokers. But yeah, having a weed based team name is immature at best. But then so is the whole "special operator super soldier" brigade so...

That is true, to which, I do admit I forgot about. Used one still ain’t a deal to me though. Maybe I’m just old enough to appreciate the wait for things to sneak through customs 😂

#blackadder, thanks for posting this everyone I have shown this to has reacted the same way with a massive belly laugh. Gives the "Kicking" in his name a new meaning

I've had & run Baofeng UV5R's for a year or so now which are perfectly fine, but comes with limitations as you'd expect for a fairly low ticket item. It's a no brainer (A no sh*t sherlock moment!), but the more we've been utilising our coms semi-effectively, the more efficient as a unit we've become, so being the inevitable peacock that I am have recently purchased an FCS 152 Radio & KDU. Nowhere near as user friendly to get up & running, but have purchased this as it'll mean I need to study / tinker & learn as opposed to being shown for a change! Anyways, just awaiting connector mods to my existing PTT to have everything up & running but looking forward to figuring this out & getting the best out of the kit

Why's that? If the site allow or encourage his type of bullshit then it sounds like one to avoid

Perfect Logic 😂👍

…. And curry pot noodles ….. however I cancelled a hotel the other day, and my pre-payment had been by credit card. But as I had already paid off the credit card I now have over £400 in credit on my credit card. That won’t transfer back and will sit in credit. So I’m going to just have to spend my credit credit

Ahhhh, The good old days, living on Beans on Toast for a few weeks will sort you out financially . wouldn’t want to be down wind of you though!

Thats my fear with my “miracle “ repairs But I’ve realised after years of cycling and being a Defender driver, that if you ram enough lube in, it’ll quieten it 😆

G&p magpul MOE M4 CQB. Bought it second hand for £30 as a non functioning RIF and did the research to repair it and fix it myself

Never seen a chrono at GZ in the past four years.

I'd be astonished if it's anything more than a voluntary check for those interested in seeing what their guns put out according to any of the multiple uncalibrated chronos available.

Or do it at home 😃 Fast forward to 12:28 Ive been drooling over these on Amazon

I had a (very minor) brainwave. I was trying to source a small spring to fit into the pair of small recesses (one in the body, one in the catch), without re-using something from one of my other guns. The spring from a retractable biro, cut down to a couple of spirals, was just about the right size! And it damn well actually works, the hold open catch works again. It'll probably fall apart again the next time it takes a knock though...

Perhaps the problem wanted to live somewhere else; just at the point that your gun started working properly, someone else possibly discovered that theirs was making a horrible scraping noise.

Jack Acaster at AirsoftEngraver. Top bloke and great work Hes done my AAP and one of my KC02’s so far, I’ll be sending another KC his way soon

Cloning machine. To whoever stole my cloning machine, I hope you are pleased with yourself.

Mk5 Thunderflash holder to go on the front of my chest rig. Velcro backed - it'll have a loop of shock cord to provide tension.

Been using Blitz for some years as Z1 is local to me, they work well enough, priced right (no postage), and have improved a fair bit from the early batches of years past. The Bios work fine for me too. I used to like Excels (are they still around?) and found G&G and King Arms BB's to be decent too. Never had a problem with ASG Devil Blasters either. Just awaiting an order of Geoffs Tracer BB's for some CQB shenanigans on Sunday - not used them before TBH.

Gotta chime in and say my experience of the Vorsk bios is that they’re absolutely terrible. My favourite site changed to bio only and offer them as the bundle bb’s but they aren’t even round and had crazy seam lines. Definition of cheap and nasty. BLS and the brands they OEM for are always reliable bets - Geoffs, Longbow etc

Here's some ones I use: Vorsk ASG Geoff Infinity Infinities and Geoff's are the best ones I've used, slightly more expensive. Vorsk are good and cheap though, they come in bulk buy deals a lot.

2 weeks ago I bought another AAP (second hand) 😁 Last week I sold it Call it a moment of weakness, no matter how hard I try to adopt the AAP platform, I just can't 😑

Aug's can make good DMR's. Why you would want to do that with a TM HC I have no idea. You have cost - A basic Aug can be had for about £100 new. The TM HC new is at least double that. There is no external difference in quality in a JG and a TM. All of the differences are in the gearbox. TM's are notorious for soft gears that will run forever stock with the slightly lower powered spring... If you stick a big spring in there it's going to eat the gearbox. As soon as you modify the TM HC it's no longer a TM HC, As the only thing that makes them special is the gearbox. For a basic AUG DMR you would want the JG/APS A1 or A2 variant with a full length barrel. Avoid the A3/A4 the ris is heavy and doesn't improve the gun. If you think you want some more rail space look at the APS with the added side rails. If you go with JG you can pretty much just do a spring swap and run on 11.1v to get it running. Perhaps a slightly harder hop rubber. If you go with APS then I'd advise swapping the piston head, Spring and hop rubber and run 11.1v To make it better from there you'll be looking at a motor and perhaps gearing it a little different to get some trigger response. To semi lock it you can do a few things. Tape over the secondary contacts is the fastest and least reliable way to do it, A basic rewire removing the secondary contacts is probably more appropriate and can be done in minutes with a pair of clippers, soldering iron, and some heat-shrink, without opening the gearbox. Inner barrel wise the full length AUG runs a 509mm barrel. So you'll be wanting to run a non ported cylinder and don't really need to mess with the barrel length. The hop is decent enough, been a stock rotary unit, and other than a degrease to make it a little stiffer the unit is solid and not prone to walking. Mags are generally good for the AUG with no real feeding problems even on the cheapest mags. There are loads of 120-170rns midcaps out there that can be had cheap like the battleaxe ones, MAG 170rnd mags are my favourite. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/army-armament-ku901-steyr-aug-aeg?pv=8463 £109 for the base gun. The Army Armament aug is based on the APS design so it has a raised area on the stock where the textures are. It'll probably want the piston head changing as the APS head is awful with an injection point on the sealing face. Other than that it's a reasonable base gun. For the extras, Your probably looking at Mosfet £20, Head £5, Hop rubber £10, Spring £10. So £45 ish to get it up to DMR basic spec. Add another £40 for a motor in the future when you want more trigger response, but the APS motor should pull an M120 on 11.1v In all it's not a bad basic spec gun for £155ish. As for the DMR role, The Australian and Austrian army both use AUG's in DMR roles. The Australians use a modified A2 style the Austrians use the Hbar-T. To make the Rifle into a Hbar-T the lower hand guard mount can be swapped to a 3D printed lower rail. And a picatinny tripod added. Or you can look for a barrel mounted tripod. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_marksman_rifle
