£5 strap replacement kit from blacks.... It's one of the least glamorous on this thread but I now have a thigh strap that fits an adult on my dpm holster....

if anyone is looking for a tracer unit that fits the tri-lug on the TM MP5 NGRS then I can confirm the Omega 9K version fits. bonus is it comes with a couple of different ends so you can fit it to your other AEG's if they are -14mm https://shop.jkarmy.com/rgw-omega-9k-dummy-silencer-tracer-full-set-mp5-style.html

Ceefax! Old people! I resent the implication sir! 😋 I recall reading jokes on Ceefax and pressing a button to reveal the punch line. What else do you need? 😁

True certified digital signatures have been about for some time, but as the EvilMonkee says isn’t yet widespread on a personal basis - though I was using my personal one 15 years ago, and doubt it’s been put to use for much less than that, definitely more than a decade Old people may remember Ceefax, which was a form of internet on your TV, two way communication versions such as Prestel were used for some industries and dated back to the early 80s. Prestel didn’t pick up well here with dial up Bulletin Boards being preferred by British geeky types In France Minitel home terminals were distributed by a phone company as an investment to save on updates to printed phone directories, and stayed popular with its various online services. This lasted about 30 years in france, well into the internet age Faxes gained popularity about 10 years before Ceefax, Prestel, Minitel etc and has lasted for longer. Generally we won’t see faxes and will think to email instead but their value in transferring a tangible duplicate remains, complete with legal recognition where applicable I can forsee that even when personal digital signatures become widespread, that faxes will still have their niche areas for some time Before covid there was still a real fax in my office, but with a steady change across to personal Skype numbers we still had desktop phones. During Covid the phones left the desks, and only a handful remain as fall backs. I’ve still not even noticed whether or not the fax is one of them

IMO, the TM MP7 is the best venture into GBBR's - even if they're not a full length rifle. They're so versatile, decent range and mine has never even thought about cooling down. I would assume the AA R36 is a case of buy cheap, buy twice if you're considering doing some serious skirmishing with it.

working on a TM MK46 recoil in need of some love. Knocked up a 5.56 link retainer for the magazine to keep the rounds attached to the mag (and cheaper than the £66 fake bullet set from TM). The recoil part that shakes the rounds had been damaged so I designed and printed a new one and one of the bipod feet was missing (let's not talk about TM's decision to use a magic pin system to hold the foot on instead of welding it). I've got a replacement bipod on the way so the foot design and print was just for fun and it does work.

No these are from multiple friends who left the hobby before I did. Yes they all knew 🤣 "Old friends" was probably bad phrasing on my part as I'm still good friends with all of them. Happy to answer any other questions though! I believe the eldest is the m14 at around 11 years. I stopped going to airsoft games about 5 years ago as my mates slowly dropped off from going. I kept a few on display on a tool rack but since moving home 2 years ago they have been in the cupboard. I'm hoping to get a good idea of cost so I can make some money back but as I have no clue, I don't want to under sell or rip someone off by putting them up too high.

A fax is also accepted as a legal document unlike e mail.

Got them today due to a minor delay in delivery. They feel good in the hand, wider/bulkier than most BFGs but fill the hand nicely. They're a hefty bit of kit, a good weight to them. The body is covered by a rubberised plastic type material that will soak the majority of impacts however the metal head is exposed and will take damage. 209 primers give a good loud bang. 9mm even more so. 12G are as previously discussed, as loud as .209 but a big ol puff of smoke to go with it. Only issue i've found is that one of my two grenades was a bit finnicky with the pins and required a fair bit of 'use' before it wore in enough to be acceptable. The other was totally fine out of the box. I can only guess there were some tighter tolerances during the making of the 2nd grenade. After extensive use i'd imagine it'll be fine. Tested .209, 9mm and 12G with both and they work like a charm. That 3/4 second fuse is not as long as you think

They are not supposed to be silent, that’s air escaping as the gas fills up! 🙈

Man that’s sick !!!

A lot of airline stuff is oddly outdated. Faxes are still used, I think investment tends to go where it’s seen and back room stuff had been left behind.

I'm more impressed with going through the green channel at the end. Nothing makes you feel more like a mob boss under surveillance by MI6 than picking your bags up at heathrow. I have a pretty packed schedule, but a couple of free afternoons so I'll try and plan a trip to a couple shops and see if there's anything super nice that i must have.

Yep - made it through the green channel no problem. Was quite entertaining breaking out hte guns in the middle of an airport - had to prove they were empty and what we said they were. Must have messed with a few other passenger's heads LOL. If you're flying back with JAL, they will need you to Fax them the spec sheet of the pew. I just sent them a print out of the web page from KSC and Marui. Felt very archaic - even the father in law had retired his fax machine to a cupboard. SWMBO offered little in the way of translation help too, so the boy and I had to muddle through with the lovely JAL ladies. Top tip with JAL.... Fly with something unusual, as an extra bag, and they'll treat you differently - in a good way as they process the baggage individually. Twice now I've done this and got through check in and boarding ahead of other people. Time before this I had to bring a guitar back. Anyone would have thought I was Ed Sheeran's older, better looking and more talented brother. Shame it didn't land me an upgrade though. Someone asked me about a Derringer two shot, not sure if it was here or at AWA... Pretty good prices too for guns, but the accessories and outfits were more expensive. Bloody early start it was too, but had nice sunrise to say good by to what will soon be my new home. Safe journey!!! I doubt I will be going back until the end of the year, but the boy is going in the summer, all things being equal. Not been to Osaka yet... Guess you'll be chomping on he Okonomiyaki

Bought an ASG Scorpion Evo from the classifieds, given a new coat of olive paint and looking forward to fielding it on Sunday at Imperium for my first game of the year. Not 100% keen on it's mag release catch.

A woman goes into Bass Pro Shop to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. A Bass Pro Shop associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, ’Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?' He says, 'Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.' She doesn’t believe him but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, 'That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. Test line. It's a good all around combination and it’s on sale this week for only £20.00. She says, 'It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!' As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor. 'Oh, that sounds like a Mastercard,' he says. She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was she who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around. The man rings up the sale and says, 'That'll be £34.50 please..' The woman is totally confused by this and asks, 'Didn't you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for £20.00? How did you get £34.50?' He replies, 'Yes, that's correct. The rod and reel is £20.00, but the Duck Call is £11.00 and the Mosquito Repellent is £3.50.

By my understanding Agilite are based in Israel, but have hubs they ship out of to different territories. One for Europe seemingly being in Slovakia, don't believe this was the case when I ordered from them a year or so ago as I'm fairly certain that came straight from Israel. If I've got the wrong end of the stick and you were purely asking about which courier, it was DHL.

I was doing some biological research on ants and discovered you can tell the sex of an ant by dropping it into a jug of water. If it sinks: girl ant. If it floats: boy ant.
