😋 I would whole-heartedly defend the wearing of lower face masks tbh. One sniper shot to a tooth or the gum tells you it's eminently sensible. (I was lucky, I didn't lose the tooth)

Sure, it's all down to the people who show up on the day (and whether the wrong 'uns get dealt with). However, Phoenix is the first site that I've seen that has its own website but doesn't appear to have one single word to say about rules or conduct. As a new player there, how would you know how the game is meant to be played, or what to expect? Maybe from watching YouTube videos, urgh. The only thing they list is maximum fps / energy for guns (nothing about MED or rate of fire), and uniquely, they allow auto AEG right up to 1.3J chronoed on a 0.2g BB. Either they don't know, or don't care, that anything shooting heavier BBs is likely to Joule creep above that legal limit, making it (legally speaking) not an airsoft gun, but a Section 5 firearm. I'm not saying auto at 1.35J is going to instantly start murderkilling folk or blowing through eyepro, just that it gives the impression of a site that's a bit... special.

well this seems to have escalated........

Noone is 'belittling' you for wearing lower face, you're just being called out for being a fake tough guy. You're acting like KMs victims are just being little bitches, and saying you'd like a more dangerous version of airsoft, yet you don't even play the version we already have to it's max. This is why people are liking the post, because it rings true. There is literally no need for lower face in airsoft at current power levels, this sport IS safe, if everyone follows the rules, which KM doesn't, hence people disliking him. To recap, the point I'm making is you don't get to call other people safety nazis and pussies when you won't take to the field without a mesh training bra on your face.

Yeah I was at the game as well, the base commander supposedly threw the book at landmark or whatever they are called that do the leasing of MOD sites. People were specifically told that video etc was prohibited, as usual the band of social media whores like mattthemusketeer completely ignored that then the ban hammer by the MOD came down pretty swiftly (wasn't just the video that bought that on as the sight should never have been let out but the videos didn't help matters) I was having a mindless scroll last night and noticed two videos come up as sponsored, was intrigued out of sheer boredom what the spunktrumpet is up to currently and to no surprise first video was at Phoenix where he decided that its a "headshot only game" cue taking numerous shots at people who he had full view of (or so the perspective shows) and takes multiple head shots as per his own twisted "mission" for the game. Second one irked me the most as it involved someone who clearly English isn't their first language, doesn't take much listening to assess that ol'donkey punch is making the most of this for his video (regardless of the guy implying he will be taking licking cumstain to court) - the comments on the video are absolutely shocking, numerous people ripping the shit out of the poor guy which in my opinion boils down to downright racism in some instances. While I don't mind the fact that various platforms show Airsoft in a good light and bring new and interesting people to the hobby, this type of shit just makes me want to play less than I already do. Yes you can argue you'll find arseholes in every sport but as a community we should be doing more to shut this sort of shit down.

Apparently Mr Mustard didn't even go to naf 😂

Eh. Everyone loves a bit of drama. We've had this discussion a few times and know that it ends nowhere, so we're finding fun in other ways. There's no real griefing involved: note that @Tommikka and I respectfully disagree on the firearm-and/or-RIF issue. If I really wanted to be rude, I'd ask how much of your career was spent in Traffic, or Professional Standards. But rest assured that I'd never sink that low.

Yeah, to be clear, my opinion is if Kicking Mustang is doing any of the stuff he's being accused of, he's a complete c*nt and needs to be banned everywhere. We're supposed to do this stuff to have fun, not to get hurt by some twat who think he's above the rules.

Fully agree, nothing against anyone who wants to wear any protective gear they like, but you don't get to wear it then act like you're a hard man 😅 I'd have said nothing about it if he hadn't been acting like what KM does is fine and people are too soft.

I'd never criticise anyone for taking safety seriously, to be fair even if it means you don't turn up on Monday morning for your "respectable" job with your chops covered in red marks & welts, then it's done its job. But changing fps limits for more "hardcore" games is ridiculous, it's hard enough to enforce what we've got so giving players carte blanche to increase fps could get out of hand. Anyway, whys it even being discussed, to do so would break the laws of the land, so it's obviously never gonna be an option, shit like this only gets more draconian, not relaxed ffs.

In general, yes. In this case, come on, let's be serious. De minimis non curat lex.

Ran across this on another forum and thought "that would make a fun airsoft place. https://www.abandonedspaces.com/uncategorized/plane.html?chrome=1 Abandon pizza joint with a couple of airplanes (areoplanes for the weird ones). Might make a fun CQB field.

Quick on for everyone chrono'd mine today and it was shooting at 390-380 for the first 5-10 shots of the mag then levelling out at around 365-355 for the rest of the mag, that was on standard green gas. Did a little testing and manage to get it down to averaging 340-330 FPS by screwing in a small screw on the back of the flute valve then filing it down a bit to space it forward. One think though is you only need to space it forward by about .2mm-.3mm for the drop in FPS which is why I had to file the screw head down.

That's certainly possible. However, if it turns out to be as accurate as Mustard's marksmanship, how persuasive is it likely to be? Fresh opinions and challenging the status quo are fine and healthy: that's the basis for all improvements. Of course, as Mustard demonstrates, it can also result in becoming righter and righter in fewer and fewer places.

Where is all the talk of headshots coming from? Headshots are fine in airsoft and noone has a problem with it. Being a douche nozzle and shooting people in the face when you could shoot the chest annoys people, but that is far and away the most minor thing that KM does which is douchery. Literally noone has said they have a problem being shot in the head if that's all they're presenting. Are you under the impression people can't scroll up and see what you wrote? Because you very definitely did suggest a new type of airsoft with different limits etc. You are entitled to your opinion mate, and everyone else is entitled to theirs, notice how all the experienced airsofters disagree with you? A smart person would consider why.

Lol Lol Hope I organisation’s clients grammar spellcheck punctuation paralegal.

Dude, your coming across like an ignorant troll. Yep, opinions are like arse holes, we've all got one, but for many here, they're opinions are based on years of real world airsoft experience, not what they've seen on YouTube etc. Personally I think the fps limits are fine, cheaters are gonna cheat, unless you take them off their feet, hardly feasible lol

Appreciate you're stepping away from the thread but just to cherry pick this suggestion: I hear what you suggesting but... 1) I don't think the player-base, nor the availability of site (and game days) is big enough to support fracturing it to that extent... 2) Where all the guns are obeying UK site limits the number of actual injuries seem to be pretty low. In my (limited) experience I've seen a couple of drops of blood from shots hitting bony bits of the face, and of course hits in the mouth... but otherwise I wouldn't see any need to make a 'I can take the pain' game, because about the only thing that could involve is removing the MED rules (and snipers are supposed to be all about the 80m+ kills, aren't they? They shouldn't be worried unduly by minimum 30m rule - it's a good excuse to buy an MP5k or a P90 ;)) Even the little kids running around with their parents at my site seem ok with yelling "ow" when they get hit, but they get on with it. So as long as the gun isn't *illegally* powerful, it should be fine.

I pre filled out the UPS rif import form and got wgc to stick it to the outside of the box, had no issues with it. Here a pic

For some reason one of his videos labelled ‘most terrifying airsoft injury’ popped up on my fb feed once. had to have a watch. he basically puts his foot down a hole and rips his trousers 🤣 I guess I was hoping for open compound fractures or bunji pit impalement. I played a legion event of all things at lydd training area back in 2017. only went because of the site, Somehow the mod cocked up and didn’t realise legion were a commercial airsoft co or something so it was subsequently closed to airsofters immediately after the event 🤣 I remember seeing half of THG there wandering around like a lost sheep. was a great area. Always nice to play new sites you’re not familiar with!

This post is worthless without pics 😂

None yet as until the remaining cases land they will not be getting shipped out . High pressure airsoft , A2 suppplies , frontline events , Daves custom airsoft will all be getting them though

Hello there, I just posted a list of local Surrey and Birmingham sites along with key info in the 'Skirmish Sites' section. As mentioned in that post, I have also compiled a retailer list, broken down by region. It's always helped me tick off all the the places i want to search for a particular item. As mentioned in the other post, if you are a shop/site owner who doesn't appear in those lists, feel free to post anything missed out below. At the bottom, there is also a list of shops relatively local to people in Surrey/SW London and Birmingham. Hope this helps!

None of his multiple personalities went? Eff me, I've just looked at the views his clickbait has been getting. What an absolute tragedy for our hobby.

Present. I bought my friend a present of an elephant for his room. He thanked me for the gift, but I told him “not to mention it”.

I am a fairly objective person, I dont judge someone on what other say, but what the person in question does (acts). I have not seen any proof of KM doing something other than hurting someone's "feelz". Any link to facts of the guy cheating? I do not mean what Bobby posted in a forum. Video proof, or KM saying he is cheating.

I've never seen more than a snippet of km's crap videos, personally I'd rather watch paint dry, but when you "hear" the crap he gets up to, which can't all be hearsay given the number of sites that have elbowed him, makes me think I'd struggle not to slap the shit out of him if I met him on the field. Obviously I'm not endorsing anyone to engage in violence, but it's small wonder he hasn't had a pasting due to his antics. People tend to talk about him with the same venom as they do a certain NI scammer. 🤔 Anyone seen my pitchfork? 😜

In the UK there are a lot fewer real firearms owners, add into that even if you have a ticket, getting what you actually want costs an arm and a leg even if they magically have it in stock (AR style semi auto .22 wmr - looking at you!) in comparison to the US Due to the stricter laws it's hard for the engineers to comply with the legislation to do the custom work, storage, transport etc which all adds cost making custom work like this mega expensive. This then means that getting a nice uk legal firearm is expensive, customising it is even more expensive and reduces the appeal of it should you come ever want to sell it. To achieve what you're looking for, there are some pretty funky aftermarket slides etc for pistols out there, add in some cool colour paintwork and you're probably as close to something you'd like as you'll get without taking out a mortgage.

We agree to disagree on a few of the fine points, and ideally we can continue on that basis as it would ultimately be a court case that answers the question of interpreting legislation on those points. For ‘frangibility’ there is no reference in the legislation, but it is on that point that the home office have corresponded with the UKPSF referencing ‘frangibility’ of a paintball in line with ‘lethal barrelled weapons in legislation. On that basis Gel blasters would sit in with frangibilty, but as you say they would need to be a firearm ‘Firearm’ and ‘gun’ are thought to be dirty words, but they do carry the ‘protection’ of being defined in legislation and don’t require licences/certificates …. (Except of course NI & Scotland with other categories & requirements) ’Marker’ is a term I dislike, it was ‘popularised’ by Americans on a PC basis and has an incorrect urban history that it was the original name in paintball (As soon as we went away from actual oil based paint they ceased to have their ‘marking’ function and had always been ‘paint marking guns’ / ‘paint marking pistols’ etc Its either pointless if people I know what it is or a secret code to hide from the scary word ‘gun’, and if you’re using that secret code then it can backfire because the other party then sees a gun You have a good argument that a firearm could be a realistic imitation of another firearm, but I’ll still argue against it … and of course, have done on the basis that a firearm is a firearm and not an imitation of a firearm which might look like another firearm ‘Realistic’ of course being in the definition that someone might think it is real, which brings in fictional guns as opposed to looking the same as a real one

OP never told us why he wanted to do it, must have been killed by the exploding gearbox. Press F to pay respects.

Do it and see the end result….. start saving for a new RIF now….

A couple of their marshalls are spot on, a couple are utterly useless at dealing with fuckery. There is a decent amount of dickheads who refuse to call hits. I've been a few times and if you get the good marshalls, it can be a good day out.

According to the dealer this is supposed to be the high power version. redesigned trigger unit with steel parts - lightweight, CNC aluminum piston - CNC aluminum spring guide - high power main spring I think somewhere along the line maybe the trigger assembly is not up to scratch with the other parts.I’ll do some checking on compatible trigger assemblys thanks for your input.

I posted that I don't watch his videos, not that I've never seen one. That's because its taken him that many shots to actually hit them. Often you can see the bb floating off nowhere near the target, he adds the hit markers and bitches about "cheaters" for the clicks

You see him adding hit markers. Much of the time, you can see his BBs curving off into the distance as he snarls and swears about cheaters. This is one of the reasons why so many sites have banned him: he deliberately gives a false impression about the amount of cheating that goes on. There are, since every site has different attitudes to marshalling, chronoing[*], head shots, power-play, overkill and such. It's only an issue if sites aren't honest about what to expect, or when Phoenix attitudes are taken to other sites. [*] Ouch, Phoenix allow auto fire at 1.3J, tested on 0.2g. I guess their insurers don't know about Joule creep.

I have just been watching a Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart. …. But I’ve got no idea how he got into my house 🤔

Definition of a "firearm" pertaining to Airsoft https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/57A . Its all hearsay to me but from what I have read KM has shot someone multiple times with the definition of firearm according to the above legislation. I don't think we can legally play "hardball" as I said "I don't think you can consent to being shot with a firearm".

Hi @BigBell1987 👋 Sensible approach to it, keep it simple and can relate with my play and gear! 🔫😎👍 Consider what you want to get and use the same as most or be different? 🤔 💷GAMBLE💷

The "frangibility" argument is the one I keep hearing in respect of paintball guns "markers", although I'm still wondering what their case law is on that, since that word doesn't appear in the Firearms Act definition of "a barrelled weapon of any description from which a shot, bullet or other missile, with kinetic energy of more than one joule at the muzzle of the weapon, can be discharged." Those gel blasters clearly are realistic imitation firearms, and are intended to be so. And the only argument I've seen put forward for why airguns can't be realistic imitations firearms is because they're actual firearms. That's not an interpretation I agree with (why can't they be both?), but even by that standard, claiming that gel blasters aren't firearms means it wouldn't apply. The thing is, it's not really a serious issue, since they are by any reasonable common sense interpretation even less lethal than airsoft guns, and can be used for the same purposes. It's just that they haven't been blessed with a Holy Circular from the Home Office saying so yet. I don't wish them ill, but...

Yeah, I agree that the steel barrel matched with an aluminium slide is not a good idea. I looked at slide kits for glock 17, and glock26. I went with the G17 PGC slide for £130, I think it was at the time, and it is a perfect fit and lasted years. For glock 26 I am building, I went with the Nova slide kit, I was told nova and prime are under the same manufacturer, and I bought an extra prime barrel, and it fits perfectly. That was £165 with the nova slide kit and extra prime barrel. I think the guarder can be cheaper, but I do not think it is worth the hassle. If it was me I would pay the extra to get a better brand if you can.

I was trawling back through some pics on my devices, and stumbled into a pic of when I just started playing. Everyone gotta start somewhere? Right? 😂 Then compared to my most recent days play out with some chums Any of you got pics in NOOB condition and showing the transformation into a pewpew carrying GOD like below!😂 Noob Started playing 2018 Cheap EBay PC Knock off Helicon trousers M&S long sleeved T-Shirt Gen Oakley gloves ”Milspec” cheapo boots Krytac, sling was off a hold-all 🫣 Buzzing with enthusiasm.

as others have said- if they don't have a band visible just shoot em. that's the risk they're taking for adopting that playstyle, and if they get annoyed by friendly fire then that's a them problem.

I know, I got caught up in the moment 🤭

Nice! But I see you have picked up some attitude from first pic 😂🤣

Short answer is No. Long Answer; - Nuprol are basic, and a notorious for being shite at gearboxes - Their motors are.... meh - Spring is likely going to go over legal limits for an AEG, don't be naughty - If you wanna see how quickly a Nuprol can shit itself, go for it, it's gonna do it eventually, may as well make it go out with a literal bang ^^^^^^^ This

I bought a well priced RIF from 'Airsoft Estartit' in Spain and it arrived fine so might be worth adding to the European list.

Adding http://www.ak2m4.co.uk to UK retailer list. Well priced internals.
