I have a challenge to all those saying rifs don't count as firearms under the highways act. Take your favourite rif, wave it around on a motorway bridge and see what happens

Let's not forget, what would the man on the Clapham omnibus think about it all, that's almost as much of a precedent as any set in stone law that anyone here can quote, it's when conjecture & interpretation become just as important when it comes to all things "GNU"., especially once the tabloids get their grubby little mitts on it.

Something has been playing on my mind recently. When I opened a can of evaporated milk it was still all there so I opened a can of condensed milk but it was the same size as the can🤔 I'm not trying to milk this btw.

I'll second the two comments above. What I will say I that one doesn't admire the fireplace whilst stoking the fire as it were. Unless you are going to hang it on the wall, what it looks like is secondary to ergonomics. If I play competitively I use my G&G M4. For themed games I never use an M4. I have eight CYMAs and all behave flawlessly.

Afternoon all, I just booked game no.3 which means UKARA should be sorted by December, so I guess it's my turn for a 'WhAt aM bEsT gNu?!?' thread ... sort of. What I'm really after is some kind of validation that I'm not potentially making my life harder than it needs to be by either buying something that's built of cheese or is just wrong for what I want to use it for - there's been a number of RIFs in pole position but I think I'm settled on one. So here goes. I'm currently thinking of getting the G&G TR16 SBR 308 mk2, it appears to be made well so I don't have to upgrade it instantly, but I mainly want it because I like the way it looks and isn't an M4 (not that I don't like M4's, it's just nice to have something else). Downside is proprietary mags, upside is I like it and you've gotta like whatever you're using to sling BBs. Currently in second is the (still G&G) SR30, it was my previous first place choice till I came across the 308. Downside is it's an M4 and everyone has them, upside is it's an M4 and everyone has them and as such there's a ton of aftermarket parts. I know G&G are on the pricier side of things but I've had my fair share of 'buy cheap, buy twice' so I'd rather get the right RIF from the start. I like the idea of being able to drop in a Perun ETU++ without needing to go into the gearbox, although the idea of teching my own stuff doesn't scare me at all. What I don't want to do is spend that kind of money and regret it. ICS, Specna and CYMA have been on the shortlist at one point or another. Bullpups are a no from me. Thinking some kind of holo sight for whatever gun I get. Already got a tracer and light. Pistol's gonna be the TM FNX-45 and nobody's talking me out of that (fingers crossed black ones will be back in stock when I'm looking to buy it, or one appears in the classifieds). I predominantly play CQB hence going for a short-barrelled rifle. So there we go, am I crazy for wanting something that's not an M4 for my first rifle? will I regret a G&G?

If it gets your PP hard while slinging the same BBs as everyone else, it's the right toy for you. Life's too short for regretting purchases that you didn't make. The one thing I'd mention is that sooner or later you're likely to run into some muppet of a marshal who declares "That's a DMR, mate, you can't use that in CQB, mate, it's way too hot, mate".

Great to hea- Nope, I'm done with giving him the benefit of the X. He's an utter throbber who documents his throbbing. He doesn't deserve any assumption of innocence at this point. If he thinks he can monetise it, he'll do it.

Have you considered shooting practical pistol competitions? I just shot a level 3 UKPSA (United Kingdom Practical Shooting Association) AA (Action Air) competition this last weekend at Carlisle Small Arms Club, we had competitors travel from as far afield as Poland to compete, here is a short video of me shooting most of the courses of fire (I forget to turn the camera on for 3 stages D'oh!) using an Aimpro glasses mounted camera, and shooting an ASG CZ Shadow 2. I even managed to get second place in my "Senior" division, and 7th place overall in "Standard" division https://www.bitchute.com/video/djmY0hyJEcFZ/?fbclid=IwAR0WoeqtABPZEbLGqrVQVSwgz29lKX4qM7nvDtjCQdVuxsUyuglhWv0ofzU

I have a the g&g 308 and throughly enjoy it. The gear box is v2 compatible when it comes to parts. The magazines are proprietary, but I've not had any issues with any of mine, and the magazine actives the last round cut off, which I love as I came to it from gbbr rifs. Pouch wise, there's options; m14, scar H and tacos are your best bet for quick and cheap, personally I use short ak open pouches. Get the perun in straight away it's so much better than the G&G mosfet.

Use it, see what it doesn't do then fix that. No point fixing something if it isn't actually broken!

Don't you dare put words in my mouth. What a cruel thing to say!

After years of buying and selling I'm finally happy with my collection. Only one that doesn't get fielded is the M41A.

I had mosaicplasty in February 2021. I eased back into running in May. Ran up a Munro in September. Played first (ever) game of airsoft November 2021. Woodland site - quite scary but I wore hard knee pads and didn’t take any chances. I can now run about the woods. The op has been an absolute life saver. Full recovery might take a while and it is important to push on with physio/rehab after the supposed ‘three month’ recovery period and not stop because you feel ok/have run out of physio time. I am still noticing improvements 18 months later. Big thing has been recovering the leg strength lost in the lead up to the op and after it. This restricted balance, getting up from prone and kneeling and recovering from slips and trips. Bulgarian split squats and going up stairs backwards have been a big help. Good luck!

I finished this Umarex Buntline yesterday, after being a little underwhelmed with a KTW Winchester and acquiring a stock cheaply. Turns out the stock is from a Colt SAA 2nd generation, what they put with the actual branded buntlines in 1957. Barrel made from aluminium with brass internally, and a tanaka ejector. Assembles and disassembles as it was designed. Shooting at 0.9 joules and hops 0.32s on a flat trajectory at 40m, the limit of my garden. Probably a realistic 55m but the bbs will be travelling pretty slowly by then. Hammer mod to make the hammer sit more flush with the frame. Bottom one is also hopped but for 0.25s.

Lets just science the shit out of it!

M12 holster, aka the suicide holster. They were made by quite a few firms, Bianchi and Cathy being two. ”Suicide holster” allegedly comes from the awkward draw and people pulling the holster off with the gun under pressure. 🤨 It’s sized for the M9 and usually fit 1911’s and Glocks too. The draw technique is different to high speed holsters but gives good protection to the pistol. The holster is ambidextrous and uses a specific quick belt mount. This is also used on the Bianchi M1025/1030 pistol mag pouch. There are thumb break kits, drop leg adapters and shoulder/tanker fittings available. With the accessories and ability to hold a lot of different pistols it almost lives up to being the “Universal holster”. Are we having fun yet?

Giggled far too much at this.

ToolkitRC are a bit hit and miss with their gear (particularly with cell voltage calibration) - but they have improved over the years. The unit is very cheap (£17 here) and miles ahead of the Airsoft-branded shite 'dumb' chargers peddled by some vendors - BUT - there are limitations - as mentioned the Max Charge Current is low so bigger batteries will take longer - and there are only four pre-set charge currents that can be selected (something like 0.5A, 1A, 2A and 2.5A) which means if you have a fairly common 1300-1500mAh battery, you will be charging it at only 1A so it will take a bit longer. It's also LiPo only - so NiMhs are out. If you can live with the above, it's probably worth a punt if you can get it for less than £20. The SkyRC65 may not be as 'cool' (i.e. no colour screen) but it's much better appointed in terms of features for £32.

"My VFC works just fine."

My MWS. Finally got around to spray painting a few parts.

We had random drug testing at work today. I liked the LSD best.

I feel vaguely grubby 😕 I'm not going full hpa. I bloody love my GE M870 Shorty, a lot, but the gas capacity is too low for me to fully enjoy it. The conversion to HPA took less time than to open the packaging. So here we are. Am I a filthy speedsofter now?

Slightly off topic, but as someone with damaged joints, Wayne Parr is something of an inspiration. He was fighting with the world's best months after a hip replacement. Shows the power of physio and makes me stick to mine!

True, I’d only trash it like the rest

You don’t deserve it

There's a fairly comprehensive review of the G&G TR16 here if that helps.

I had a happy childhood. My dad used to put me in a stack of tyres and roll me down a hill. They were Goodyears.

Do keep your full face and pack it when you play, just in case, as you can get denied on the day and it’s preferable to have your own then the well used rental Old leathery skin isn’t totally immune either This wasn’t mine - just from wiki. But it’s the spitting image of mine which suddenly flared up with a touch of students elbow I don’t do well in heat, and prefer to be in a t-shirt or light top …. But at one very hot tournament that I was photographing, during the morning captains brief the head referee added clarification that all players must wear full arm coverage, so I asked just to clarify … “But I’m fine like this?” in my official event media wife beater vest….. “No, everyone else will just winge” So I was stuck sweating in double layers

The 1980’s…. ….. the last time every village had a warm bank.

That is because by installing the delayer chip you caused timing issues. What was happening inside your gearbox was that the piston was being released while the nozzle was still travelling forward (a delayer chip, well, delays the tappet plate release point and in most cases it anticipates its pickup). Since the system wasn't sealed (nozzle needs to insert into the hop rubber to seal) you'd lose air and get inconsistent, lower FPS readings. 10 FPS is still 3 m/s which means your air seal still isn't optimal, but that's a whole different story.

I fully saw that question flash across your face, it was brilliant!

So you won't be buying any more then? 😏🤣

Thanks, I'll be honest I had no idea what mosaicplasty was, thank feck for Google, looks like a very good treatment if the problem is caught early enough, glad to hear you've bounced back so quickly, that's the beauty of many of the newer focal treatments, hence why I picked one for my cancer, which fingers crossed is going well 🤞. But the knees are beyond the focal stuff unfortunately, the right has been on its way since '95, the left more recently, but knowing what I now know I have to wonder whether I'd have had more options considerably sooner if I didn't live in the back of beyond (sort of), & under a health trust that's doing its best to fob people off by not being open about treatment options available. Hindsight is a wonderful thing 😭

It's the toothbrush foregrip that does it for me!

But at least he has lenses. Mesh is no good against fluids… 🥺

did you post on the wrong thread ? lol

It was indeed, and I'll be there on Sunday too. Come say hi. 6'1 of dreadlocks, tattoos, terrible aim and inappropriate humour, you can't miss me. Well, you can but just mag dump, you'll be fine. As Loz said, the safe zone at RA is good, and they have plans to improve it further. I always work out the back of my truck, with a fold up table these days, but have used their safe zone. It's not huge though, and can fill up quick so try and get there a little early to get a spot. When you come say hi make sure you tell me you're from the forum, and not just your name like @Lozart did, so I was utterly baffled who this random stranger was that knew me 🤣 If Loz comes too we'll definitely need a forum selfie.

Personally I'd say get something with a bit more grunt if you're planning on using higher capacity LiPos. That one tops out at 2.5A so anything over 2500mA/h is going to take upwards of an hour to charge. I would suggest the SkyRC S65/Turnigy Accucell S60

I heard about this a while back and quite fancy giving it a go. Looks like it could be good fun.

Small arms magazine pouches for 3x M16 30rd magazines. Like most of the ALICE pouches they are held in place by two Alice clips that go through slots (A) on the back. In addition the mag pouch has a tab (T) and eyelet to clip the harness strap onto for support. Loops (G) with securing straps are to hold grenades. This pouch has damage (D) to the lid. I repaired/altered it on the inside as it’s actually my IFAK pouch. The pouch is reinforced with plastic and a pair of thin strips inside to separate magazines. It’s pretty common to find the mag dividers cut or removed on surplus pouches. Sometimes the grenade loops too. The Alice pouch lid fasteners have a bit of a reputation for fragility. There are a heck of is lot of these pouches still knocking around with intact clips however. There are some similar mag pouches including the Lincloe issued the the USMC in Vietnam.

I asked my site and they confirmed that it was all good to wear that, I wanted to confirm as i dont play outdoors right now, i play cqb. thanks

Pretty sure your wrong, & even if your not, the last bit definitely fails the "attitude test", which as everyone knows, the plod will always win in the long run, if there isn't a precise law to combat an airsoft related "offence", a loosely fitting one will be made to fit lol. Plus when it comes to Airsoft, we need people on our side, especially the police & other figures of authority, otherwise every negative police report is another nail in the coffin for Airsoft in its current form, not something I want to see change.

I was hoping for a GBB Famas, so this is something I’ll be keeping an eye on. Thanks for the heads up 👍

Headlines when it happens in North Carolina suburbia, just a slack weekend in Chicago. https://heyjackass.com/ Mostly suicides. Looking at a map, a lot of the deaths are in restricted ownership States https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ If I could Thanos-snap all firearms out of existence, everywhere, forever, I'd do it. Short of that, in Murca, I'd focus on mental health and the wars-on-whatever that incentivise crime, rather than trying to remove legally held guns.

Here we have the evolution of my cheapie JG RPK bought off here from Hutt armouries few years ago. Iv had fun learning how to take this all part and work on it modernising it along the way. originally I was just going to replace the externals but straight away I could tell I’d need to upgrade the hop unit as the range was awful. things Iv replaced are JG Stock adaptor, LCT stock, CA upper and RS poly lower hand guard, pistol grip, LCT tactical selector, LCT drum magazine, TWI aluminium rails, combat union hop unit mapleaf macaron 50’ omega nub, CU air nozzle. I’ll upgrade the gearbox internals as and when they go. currently chrono’s 348-351 on 0.2s Lovely MG platform, lighter and more manoeuvrable than a belt fed.

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

Err hello it’s throbbing donkey ! are you even questioning IF he broke a rule and cheated ? The guys so crooked he has to use a corkscrew as a fecking ruler ! 🤦‍♂️
