Colt M727 - A1, convertion from Marui M4 Next gen with real steel parts ( Stock and handguard) . Upper is an E&C modded to fit the NGRS units. Replica of the IDF rifle, original IDF sling.

From your last couple of game day reports either you really need to go to different sites, or you're exaggerating.

One for @EvilMonkee and @Impulse

Jesus fucking wept!!!! 😭 I see they're getting around to sweeping the darkest corners of the cracker factory... 🤣 Did you hear about the two thieves who stole a calendar? They each got six months.

I've just bought an Umarex HK416 GBBR. My first gas rifle, but I've had a couple of gas pistols already. I've worked out how to load the pistol mags pretty quickly, but the rifle mag is.... harder. I've got a cheapo M4 mag speed loader that's pretty rubbish... pressing the big button rarely outputs a BB. Might as well go in the bin. So, that leaves me with a couple of little pistol speed loaders. And one adapter. It's all a bit like herding cats Not using the adapter means trying to use finger tips to help funnel the BBs in one at a time against decent spring pressure and through the resistant rubber lips. Using the adapter, I found I can do it a little easier by tilting the loader at an angle. Obviously I have it pushed firmly onto the lips ('yub yub'), I left a gap in the photo so you can see 'em. With this approach quite a few of the BBs will go in, but there will inevitably be some more that manage to escape and ping off into the four corners of the room, or get jammed up without going in ('hurrr hurrrr'), or the adapter gets forced off (will superglue it on, if this is the best approach). :Sigh: Is there a trick to it, or an adapter I can buy? I've seen people use Odin speedloaders and I'm aware there are adapters for those, but Odin's seem to be hard to source... and it's a bit 'overkill' when I have this 1 (one, count it) magazine that I need to fill (That's "at the moment". Assuming I enjoy skirmishing with it then I'll buy at least a couple more) Or do I just have to accept they're fiddly little bastards, and loading mid-battle just ain't going to work? Any thoughts, as always, much appreciated!

Ladbrokes have stopped taking bets on "exaggerating".

OK, I'd ask myself why the last owner felt the need to extend the barrel. Have you actually run it in a game as is?

Yeah, that's the case with these VFC 416 mags, the feed lips are the only way in or out. My TM Hi Capa mags are a breeze to load up in comparison. Still, I'm sure once that adapter is glued on and I've repeated the process a few times, it'll get easier too.

I stopped using the little adapter when loading my mp9. The follower can be locked to the bottom of the channel and then just pop the feedlip of loader to the front face of the magazines lip. Admittedly if the follower cant be locked back in your mags that's going to make things a lot harder.

Ok, thanks Nick, I guess a bit of practice and I'll be good. I'll superglue the adapter on and get another of those speedloaders for my belt pouch.

That's pretty much it, i find that using my thumb on the hand holding the mag to press the adapter down does the job. Needs to be angled at about 45 degrees, but this works well for me . I find that 8 pumps of the loader is 28 BB's which is what I load my mags too rather than ram them full. I take 5 mags and the speedloader out for a game and refill empty mags during any lull. My WE based L119's get a good 2 BB loads for 1 gas fill .

Too humiliating a defeat to talk about?

First five gangers, and a bunch of scenery, painted.

I got on the number 925 bus from Woking the other day. I said to the driver “What a way to make a living”

Oopsies! Bit of an impulse purchase... Umarex HK416 A5 GBBR. It's my first gas rifle. Let's see if I can get by with 30 rounds instead of 300 in a mag ;] I've chucked the sight and grip on there... looks like the sight could come off the riser mount tbh. And I might change for a longer, or angled grip. But I think it does look rather smart, always had a soft spot for the looks of the 416

here's some pictures of the Omega 9 tracer.

Difficult to explain and I've not had anyone else fire it since I've only been back garden plinking. With the gearbox being essentially right next to your head when you cheeky weld, it's naturally going to be pretty damn loud to the user. Suppressor doesn't make much difference as expected. As for how it sounds - not all that mechanical to be honest. Gears are pretty quiet, no crunching or banging. Gearbox seems well shimmed and put together. How she currently sits - well tell a lie, I took the Hex suppressor off and stuck the stock flash hider on to keep the length down.

Yeah, can't argue with that. I went with the cheap option (KJ Works G19) because there's realistically every chance that two pistols are one too many in my loadout. I'll get to try out the Glock to see if that weird itch was short-lived or not, and I can move the gun on for what I bought it for, and upgrade to the TM 'as and when'. Edit: For anyone following this thread interested in a TM G17, there's one in the Classifieds (It's a gen 3 not the gen 4, so the smaller BBU, but it'll still be pretty damned good, I'm sure) In the meantime (and blowing my budget to bits), there's another Gas Blow Back gun about to join my collection...

I've just bought a few keymod to picatinny rails, and some lipo alarms. Nothing too exciting. But I've just found a relatively local indoor CQB site that runs regularly weekday evening games that I hope will give me the chance to go more often, and so I felt like I needed to invest in a flashlight attachment. Which meant I needed to bite the bullet on the rails, as my keymod setup makes it a little restrictive when looking at attachments.

Finally got a Dragunov to use as a DMR! Been sitting waiting for it to arrive for weeks after the PSO1, SVD vest and spare mags arrived!

Better pictures, and with an optic on .
