God bless ya Queenie. Good job done. Now have a well earned rest.

I wish I was accurate enough to pick a body part to aim at!

Wait a second...you guys can aim at specific body parts!? I just shoot in their general direction. Que sera, sera n' all that.

Show us on the doll where the repro sight touched you.

Ah - The ol'rabbit hop

When given the chance, I'll always go for the arse lol, nothing kinky😘, but it often gets a good reaction, usually a small vertical jump🤣

Thanks guys I'll check the YT channel out

Hello & welcome. I'll let @Shamal tell you about @GAMBLE's YouTube channel 😉 Glad you had fun, you'll stop aching eventually! Good plan on renting, it'll stop you making an impulse buy and then regretting it later. If you're itching to buy stuff then I'd recommend getting other kit like eyepro, boots etc - it's certainly what I'm doing right now.

The all in one protection works but keep in mind that the face mask is quite wide so will be very hard or impossible to look down the sights of a rifle. I would recommend a mesh facemask like THIS

Just found this 👌

Welcome to the club. If it was me I would buy good Eyepro first, nothing spoils a day of fun playing Cowboys and Indians when every 30 seconds you cant see due to fogging and the obvious hazards that come with having your vison impaired. In my experience people that share the same hobby love talking about it. Use the time before you buy to ask people about any kit you like the look of, 9 times out of 10 I bet they will let you have a go to.

Was there anything in that video about getting the gearbox to close or the selector plate not covering sensors? It still seems like excessive work when there's so many drop in mosfets for cheaper. I did enjoy his utter confusion at the mag button, where it stated the button was for magazine functionalities, and yet he had no idea what it was for 🤣

Ahoy and welcome. Yes, you'll discover muscles that you never knew you had, as well as soft and fragile bits. The best initial advice is don't blow the kids' inheritance on an armoury of two-tones. You'll get a bit hit of adrenaline from both playing and purchases, but the classifieds are full of "never/barely skirmished" guns. Best to rent until you have a defence and are sure you'll stick with the hobby, or at least keep a rein on spending. Footwear, eye and face protection are the first priorities, shooty things come later. Tips on playing are just: call your hits regardless of what's going on around you, and never take any of it too seriously, even if others are. It's just dress-up and hide-and-seek with toy guns at the end of the day.

As I said, I will be willing to split or take a good offer, just not offering 300gbp for the whole package something like that. And we’ll I’m just testing the market price really, am in no hurry to sell. I know sig Romeo’s are a good sight, I also love my holosuns, but the Aimpoint is a rare find nowadays and only seeing if someone that genuinely wants the old school vibes as a collection piece and that is 100% skirmish-able. True I agree 1800 is over the top and I am thinking of lowering it or splitting, thanks for the advice chaps

Warrior assault systems are so 2000’s, but those who know, well, just know…

If I were hoping that someone might pay me eighteen hundred pounds for a toy gun and a sight that won't make it any more accurate than the cheapest Chinesium red dot at airsoft ranges with airsoft accuracy, I reckon I'd make a bit of an effort to come across as a reasonable chap who would be a pleasure do to business with. Of course, other opinions are available.

Aunt Doris didn’t have sex at all, not a thing until she was 67. And that was cos she'd no small change for the window cleaner.

stick with your WE then mate I’m sure it’s one of the best gbbrs on the market probably got an element on it thinking you’ve got a steal for 45 quid when it cost less than 10 on taobao 😂 oh probably sourcing that “uksf” impression kit from warrior assault systems as well🤡

Went swimming the other day and had a cheeky pee near the deep end. The lifeguard blew his whistle so loud I nearly fell in!!

I never buy RIFs from Asia because of all the nightmare stories I hear from people about RIFs being seized and destroyed and police visits and stuff. However, I have bought parts from JKArmy and they were reliable and got them posted out pretty fast. Was AAP ruger conversion parts and they arrived quickly and without any issue or difficulties in transit.

1) In theory you shouldn't need to. 2) About the same as any of the retailers over there. Quite often the courier tracking information is: We have it - It's Left Origin - Look down idiot, it's on your lap 3) Ask the magic 8 Ball, it really is a matter of "luck" - In theory you should have to.

Best tip I can give is to have a gander at @GAMBLE. He is on this forum and on the tube thing. He will be able to give you plenty of hints and tips regarding guns and equipment plus action videos to get you playing like a veteran 👍 enjoy your new hobby and call your hits 🙂 regards

Whatever pistol you buy make sure mags are easy to come by, I bought an ASG CZ P-09 then quickly realised I can't find mags anywhere barring importing and even then there's few choices. Ended up finding a classified ad on here for the same pistol with two mags and some other bits such as holsters for the same price I paid for my gun and only been skirmished once, I bought it for £100 just for the mags but a good deal really because I would of paid £50-£70 for the mags even if in stock in UK so I technically got the pistol and accessories for the change but I was lucky in that regard. Love the pistol fits my hands really well but its just not easy to come by mags. Food for thought!

Regarding the hydro test lifecycle: The norm that you will mostly see is that aluminum 3000psis have been marked with a 5 year cycle, and unlimited lifetime if they are tested. (due to the cost of testing vs buying new it’s not necessarily worth doing) But in the UK their legal requirement is a 10 year cycle, and I’ve noticed that retailers are now mentioning this on listings For compact aluminum’s such as 13ci there is an exemption, they do not need to be tested as long as they are visually good When 13cis first came to the UK the printed markings have shown a 5 year due date, but a recent purchase does not If you turn up to an event and I’m the air checker then I would permit use of a 48ci 3000 for 10 years after its stamped manufacture date, and a 13ci of any age (as long as they have UK/EU markings) For fibre wraps the general standard has been a 5 year test cycle and maximum 15 year life, and due to their cost it is worth hydro testing There is a newer ISO type which can have an unlimited lifetime, but still a 5 year test cycle - but most seen in life are showing a 15 year maximum printed by the manufacturer

Out of interest what type of cylinder does it come with, you mentioned the stock inner barrel is 463mm so I'm assuming closed?

Luke's last video is of him installing an Eshooter Kestrel electronic trigger unit. It didn't go smoothly. Normally I'd take that as a sensible warning to stick with the Peruns if I ever feel so bold, and leave it at that. But... another video popped up on my feed, from someone who was doing a sponsored review (so can be taken with several shovels of salt). However this chap pointed out a bunch of things in the instructions, followed them, avoided the pitfalls Luke had fallen into, and came out with a working gun at the other end of it. Of course any 'dramas' would have gone missing in the edit, I'm sure, but still the fact Luke's more gung-ho "I know this stuff, I'll chuck it in" approach might have meant he'd had more problems than he needed to. (I'd still stick with a Perun over the Kestrel, naturally) As for working on fixing one of my many broken / partly malfunctioning guns - I suspect I wouldn't actually use him as (1) he has a famously long waiting list to get stuff done (2) he'd absolutely rip the piss out of me on camera for my attempted fixes etc and I couldn't cope with the embarrassment I'd entirely trust him to keep working on a gun until it operates properly though.

Got my hands on a Desert Eagle L6, absolute monstrosity 🤣 I'd like to get some Hogue grips for it Also finally got my genuine Strike Industries Gridlok after all these months!

Eh, it is what it be. My G36 (with an adjustable spring tensioner) shoots 1.2J on 0.2g but bang on 1J with 0.28g, at maximum pre-tension, which isn't far off of the difference you're seeing. This is OK, since I can dial it down to get under 1.1J with 0.2g for CQB, and I'd rather keep it usable indoors with 0.2g and outdoors with 0.28g without spring swapping. My DMR is shooting 1.8J with 0.32g. I couldn't even tell you what it's shooting with 0.2g, or any other weight, because... well, why would I care? I've tuned it for the BB weight that I use with it. That's what you'll have to do too, one way or another. 60 degrees might be a bit grabby for 0.4g, have you considered 70? Looks like it's already got a rotary hop, I wouldn't change that. Air seal spot on?

Hello, A change in bucking could help. A high quality bucking will provide more hop for less hop pressure. Also barrel length is crucial in DMRs, as you need to get a good cylinder to barrel ratio, as you are using heavy bbs that take longer to leave the barrel than say .25s. You may need to shorten the inner barrel length. I have built several DMRs using 140 springs and a 360 to 370mm barrel length, was what I found worked best with a V2 non-ported cylinder, using 0.43s. I recently built a G&P SR25 DMR which has a longer V2.5 cylinder, and that was able to feed a 407mm barrel, but I would not have gone any further in length. Your rifle is able to shoot at 2.1J on 0.20s because they leave the barrel before the 'cylinder air charge' is spent. The .40s and .36s you are using are passing through the final section of the barrel by momentum alone, while suffering from the friction of the barrel. Hope this helps.

Hi, Am loving my specna! It's robust as all metal and shoots well. Done a couple more basic upgrades which really has increased accuracy & distance... Maxx Model CNC hop up - totally worth the price. Specna 6.02 barrel. ASG M105 spring which gets me just under the max limit. As most made by or with specna there is no faff or fannying about tweaking/making it fit. It just all works perfectly. Off to try AWA this weekend.

Also, while it’s cool to have rs sights on rifs, my son has a sig Romeo on his ghk m4 (a2) it does not magically turn your rif into gold. You would be lucky to get £800 for the rif alone, even with the upgrades I have a tnt combo in my ghk ak. They cost about £120. so that leaves you wanting £1000 for an outdated sight and lamp. You are on crack mate.

By the time it shoots nicely, it will be an expensive sniper rifle...

Camman seems alright, at least he's never done anything egregious on camera. I think it's more a symptom of the airsoft-youtubersphere. KM is one of the most watched channels so it makes business sense to be on freindly terms with him. Same reason every youtuber has a video on a new novritsch gun when it comes out. Also if that 4 page rant is the one from zero in forums, that poster is as unhinged as KM.

He is one of the better Airsoft YouTubers and you can learn alot from him too. I have enjoyed his videos and enjoyed him in person when the mall was alive. So much so that just a few months back I had him DMR my G&G 308 MBR and it is a blast to use. So enjoy watching him and enjoy his work.

How's it working out for you? Specnas can be a bit patchy but mine's a solid performer.

Post has been deleted now but I think you could say the guy has gone off the rails if he's offering bounties for people to doxx his "haters". Absolutely disgusting behaviour from him, not that I'd expect anything but this type of behaviour from the type of man who brings his "haters" family members and loved ones into an argument over him purposefully causing pain/injuries for content.

It was the M100 you sent out. Apologies only just saw this

I just bought a cheapo sniper rifle too, just to dip a toe in the water... I bought some Geoff's .40s and the gun shoots quite nicely. But it's inconsistent. I'll get 3 shots looking bang-on, but then I'll get one or two off to the right - either going straight right or curving off a bit. At 15m I think might be missing by 4 or 5 inches - I'll stick a paper target up and measure it properly. The barrel looks clean all the way through. I'm guessing that sort of behaviour warrants a new hop rubber and nub as a starting point... but I'm also aware it might be the start of a long and expensive journey, so I've resolved to leave it alone until I can test it at greater range and put a decent number of shots through it. Edit: a very quick string of 6 shots.. 1 flier, low-left, the rest in a 1.75" group - which goes to show that shots may look worse through the scope than they actually are...! I did dial in some more hop after a few warm-up shots away from the target, so perhaps my previous shots weren't back-spinning enough to stabilise them properly?

.

Thank you for coming forth and I ask this with the greatest respect. Do you not feel a bit shitty putting your arm band on your leg? Do you not feel that everyone should then be allowed to put their on their legs too? I mean I guess it would then make it super hard for you to know who to shoot.. oh wait....

Somebody rang me earlier, sneezed a couple of times then hung up. These cold calls are really annoying.

Problem is the clickbait and drama provides these people with an income, so gets worse/more extreme until we get to where we are today. Then new players wanting to see what they're letting themselves in for can be either put off or encouraged (depending on their disposition) which could lead to more of this bellendery and less new players that you actually want to share a field with. At least if new players find their way here they'll get a (relatively) sensible view of what actually happens on a game day. It's not just our sport though, my mate's boy rides an MTB like a youtuber thinking it's cool - no, it's slower and you're wrecking the trails for everyone else.

I'm absolutely knackered from my French self-defence class last night. I've never run so fast in all my life.

100 years ago nearly everyone had a horse and cars were for the rich. Today nearly everyone has a car and horses are for the rich. My how the stables have turned. 🤪

If you boil a funny bone for two hours you will get a laughing stock.

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”.

Hop rubber, nub and spring advice worked well... Lozart thanks for connecting me with Pete @ak2m4! Aj All set for Gunman Tuddenham this Sunday...
