I'd rather have a wank with sandpaper gloves than go to that shitshow

I once designed a couple of weekend immersive military experiences. In version 1, participants would arrive in the dark, ideally while it was raining, and would be sent off to dig slit trenches on the edge of a field. Once they had settled into their slit trenches and were just starting to heat up their ration packs, they would be ordered to move out immediately. On arrival at their new location, the process, or a similar one, would be repeated. Keep doing this until endex and then send them home. The alternative to this was to stick them in a barracks for a weekend, complete with ironing boards, irons, boot polish and all the other wonderful bits and pieces. Their first task would be to get their kit into a condition that would pass inspection by a grumpy former senior NCO, who would be well paid for throwing their kit on the floor, emptying their lockers and shouting at them. Once they had got their kit sorted out to his satisfaction, they would be sent out for an eight mile run in full kit, ideally in the rain, after which they would have to do PT on the parade ground. This would be followed by sorting out their now wet and scruffy kit, again subject to Mr Grumpy's inspection and approval. Then, get them to clear up the barracks before they get a chance to eat. Keep this going for a couple of days and send them home. I thought that these would provide a far more realistic insight into military life. I also had an RAF variant, which consisted of checking into a 5 star hotel for the weekend and running up a huge room service bill.

I dunno mate. Naff pretty much describes the airsoft aspects of the weekend..... Pretty sure individually pulling out my pubes with tweezers would also be more fun than attending......

Fancied a change in colour 😁

A new gun doesn’t immediately begin to customise you It may have appeared to do so If you leave off from the marriage part then you can work on getting a good range of spares with all the spare disposable income ….. But there’s always the danger of so much choice that you find yourself unable to decide and then find yourself twiddling your thumbs not doing anything with any of them

It's a bit like getting a new girlfriend. You liked the look of her or she was cheap,(either way works),all the functions worked and she did what you wanted. Its when you get married that you see where changes can be made and like Airsoft those changes come at a price. It's around about this time that you may think about getting another model that suits you better or keep the one you have and get a backup.👍😉 Ouch! Dammit Hun I didn't know you were behind me.😂

He charges money for pictures of old rope.

I suspect he's thinking that people will pay over the odds in order to dodge proving a defense........

As my GBBR pulse rifle build seems to be of interest to a few I thought I'd do a build thread sort of thing. Bear with me , I dont do 'tech' so the order of posts and pictures might well be a bit random ! I'm starting with a WE Thompson that I've been gifted. It's seen better days and came a cropper when an hpa experiment went very wrong, however I should be able to sort it given time. The upper reciever has cracked in a couple of places so I've ordered a replacement. Untill that arrives i've done a very rough and ready strengthening job with some scrap angle ally. Looks a bit frankenstein, but will hold the upper together for now which means I can crack on and get everything mocked up then fit the repacement when it's in pieces for final prep and paint. What I started with Snow Wolf body kit, there are lots of bits in the box ! Very basic strengthening job to hold the upper together for now. You can just see the cracks. The puls rifle outer barrel mounts via an aluminium adapter, on the aeg this also mounts onto the hop unit extension. The holes on the side of the block take M3 bolts that also secure the front brackets to the body. I plan to drill and tap the botom of the block and secure it to the handguard extension on the tommy to help support everything although it seems pretty robust just bolted to the body. In order to hold the hop unit and inner barrel into the GBBR upper I chopped the mounting lug off the spare barrel that came with the Thompson. This them mounts and secures the hop / inner in the standard fashion. If I had access to a lathe I would have shortened and turned down the outer so it would fit the mounting block in the way the aeg one does.

In case you didn't know, the bookings have been live for a couple of days now. This year the are open earlier than last year. Just search for National Airsoft Festival 2023 to find.

Add in a selection of little back dresses and a packet of biscuits and you would have a Royal Marines immersive experience.

I'm guessing the navy version would involve getting to know your battle buddy extremely well

Also.... where did you buy it from as certain shops apparently class stripping the slide off the gun to set the hop as "Voiding the warranty". As above tho if it's new and you've just bought it return it right now. Do not take tools to it, do not try and fix it just get your money back or a replacement.

Look at that subtle off-white decor. The tasteful daylighting of it. Oh by God, it even has a tripod...

How do they perform, do they: 1.shoot straight 2. & have a reasonable fps, by reasonable fps I would say 250+ for the pistols & 285+ for the rifles. If points 1 & 2 are achieved, then leave them alone internally, they're not broke so you can't fix them so to speak, & attempts to usually go one of two ways, the manufacturer balance is upset & they end up worse, or alternatively you chuck more than their worth at a "tech" (?) just to gain a small improvement (hopefully). Now, no offence intended, but 3 of the 4 brands you've purchased are considered to be cheap & pretty mediocre in the scheme of things, chucking more money at them isn't gonna drastically improve quality or value. Essentially, if they work OK, use them until they don't, that could be a long time potentially, & when they finally do break, sell them for parts & get the kit you really need. As for the external cosmetic, your only limits are your imagination (& wallet), do your research as to what you need, which is not always what you want lol, it's easy to waste money on unnecessary dead weight that looks pretty lol. You don't need to send them to anyone, plenty info & guides on the net, diy👍 Edit: man above has faster fingers than me, but we're both singing from the same hymnsheet.

Ahoy. I wouldn't spend a penny on the Ravens, unless you're using them as CQB primaries. But then, I wouldn't use a Raven as as CQB primary. What sort of "adjustments and customisation" are we talking here? Because if you send off a gun to a typical tech with a remit of "Make it betterer!" then it's a toss up whether you'll even get anything functional back. It's important to be clear about what they're not doing now, that you want them to do, or to do better. Semi-auto trigger response or trigger pull; rate of fire; burst fire. More power (or less), and better consistency (note that I don't say "range" or "accuracy" there, since those aren't necessarily the same thing). The ability to hop heavier BBs. Rewiring, or a shim and re-grease. Your KWA and Lancer are both reasonable spec to begin with, but aren't particularly common (and the KWA has a "V2.5" gearbox which might be a head-scratcher for techs), so I wouldn't send them to any rando. The only person I'd actually trust with anything decent is Luke at Negative Airsoft, or maybe Kingdom of Airsoft. Luke in particular can also do cosmetic customisation.

"Secret location" A subtle way of saying we haven't found a venue dumb enough to let us do this yet

As God (but not Stoner) intended. The black rifle in 1980’s style.

Temptation got the better of me and I bought some of the Guns Modify P-Mags for the MWS. Not tested beyond sticking some gas in to make sure they're tight, but they look the nuts and set the old girl off just right.

Bloody hell, even an MP couldn't say that with a straight face. In my experience cunts and cheaters are attracted to it like flies to a fresh dog turd Careful, you'll give the guys at Killbox ideas

"Take one out while the other's not looking" - Some guy in a video game circa 2007 I'm so happy this is working again. 55psi on the regulator has it firing between 1.112J at the lowest and 1.137J at the highest on .32s, so it's mega consistent and just where I need it for no MED shenanigans. I've semi-locked it, despite not being a "DMR" as it's meant to be an m21 sniper rifle, and the m21 was semi-auto only. Stubby mags are feeding flawlessly now, which is amazing as it means I don't need to run a chest rig as I can store 3 spare mags in a medium utility pouch (and they don't rattle around) and an Odin speedloader in another pouch, plus it makes it look very sniper-y and unique. I still have half a bag of .4s though, so I might rattle a few shots at 1.64J on the range (my local site's DMR limits) to see how it shoots there, but likelihood is I just keep it at 1.14J and keep the ability to point-blank, especially with how close we are to my local site growing some thick foliage through spring and becoming woodland CQB As the weather warms up, I might revert to my longest standing weapon combination: m21 sniper rifle and 1911 pistol is what I used to run when I played in Spain, because it's what I ran in CoD4 as a teenager

Yeah when I said "cheap & mediocre", I meant to also say "but more than capable of skirmishing", cheap doesn't also mean bad, just that there are limits of financial viability, otherwise it becomes a very expensive triggers broom. I'm no gear snob, no shortage of cyma/JG etc in my armoury, all of it stock & more than up to the task.

@Emergencychimps I use Zero One Pro gas. Plastic nozzle, basically Abbey Ultra but cheaper and no issues filling

NAF by name NAF by nature. I'll airsoft my way not theirs.

As above, if it's new send it back and don't let the shop fob you off with bullshit excuses

very niche product, if outside is pretty similar only way to tell is get a decent magnified snake scope and check out the quality of the polishing, that's where the real cost of inner barrels lies it seems. I've tried to get my own brand of barrels made, whilst the raw material is super cheap, the polishing cost was expensive.

Thanks chaps! Yeah I figured the 9.3" is the one for the 10.5", but wanted to double check. Here's my Flannel Daddy inspired 14" URGI. Want to swap the DBAL for an NGAL at some point

Loving the pics mate 😎👍 regarding the hop/barrel head spacing, I think when I do mine, I’ll just get the original Thompson barrel turned down to fit.

1.7J perfect for field use!? Errr....what?

No, it's exactly the same.

They actually have a parts website and it's out of stock there as well. Seems to be a very popular product

Another one of these………

Do it right. Swap the nozzle for one that feeds and seals on the zci unit, then build your two barrels on those. Also be aware that those extra 7 centimetres of barrel will dramatically increase the muzzle energy, so your gun may end up being too hot.

Not quite. You still have to apply for an airgun loicence, but it's effectively an automatic add-on and only costs £5, instead of £72 for 5 years. It's shockingly close to being sensible.

In my experience stock recoils are amazing with good quality .25s. If you can find some Marui Perfect Hit .25s you're in for a treat.

Can we have that in English now for us normal people 🥴

That tells me all I need to know and from Herrgh's post this sounds like someone trying to monetise their rape fantasies

@Killbox On a different tack the information quoted is contradictory - you can’t have full consent that cannot be withdrawn plus a safe word that withdraws consent This ‘waiver’ is much worse than a waiver as it’s full of various words that have been thought of and thrown together ———- A themed escape room experience will be sellable to people The audience isn’t really airsofters. They are either going out for a day of randomly shooting people or getting immersed into a themed scenario format. They may like to play with some gadgets, go for a mission objective etc But the basic idea is right up the street of ‘experience’ days for groups, stags, hens etc If you’re just bigging up a story line then calm it down a bit, but if you are planning a ‘high intensity’ abusive experience then step back for a hard rethink

Middle class, maybe. But not prepubescent in this case. The named director is 44-45 years old. He's also a "NFT and Metaverse specialist" at another company he's director of. And a crypto investor! I swell with confidence that Killbox will be a success. Dibs on the NFT of the consent page on the website lol.

******Be warned that reading up on this is at your own risk and isn’t for the faint hearted***** At the very least this can result in crossing your legs, wincing and horrific images in your imagination Operation Spanner covers the investigation and prosecutions - the whole thing never went away. Prosecutions took place escalating through magistrates, crown court and to the Old Bailey with guilty verdicts covering 8 convictions sentenced between 18 months and 4 1/2 years Appeals were unsuccessful in the appeals court, House of Lords and European court of human rights Guilty verdicts remained standing. Protests, a legal review and proposed legislation changes came to nothing. For @Killboxthe situation remains that to the very least ‘consent is limited’ Let alone a basic duty of care if you’re ‘shocking’ someone who doesn’t realise that they have a heart condition. It’s quite timely to think about a reckless act and being imprisoned for manslaughter

The forum to Killbox: "Go away now!"

Badly thought out hairbrained schemes that involve Airsoft, usually touted by by prepubescent middle class eedjits with tiny amounts of life experience/Airsoft knowledge/business acumen ?. Nah, I've never seen anything like that posted up on an airsoft forum 😏

Pretty sure that was when all the subs turned out to be politicians or high court judges and the whole thing went away, wasn't it?

The body fits pretty well, I've had to take a little bit off it in certain places where it was very tight, still making adjustments to that but the first proper mock up looks decent. The round counter sets to 95 when the mag is in as it should. Small micro swith and circuit board fits into the top of the mag well. I've yet to solder up the sensor that should count it down as rounds are fired. This fits into the front of the outer garrel inside the triangular support. I've now added the stock to the mock up and that works fine (although it wont retract fully because of the angle ally on the upper) The gun cycles but sticks on the mag occasionally, this doesn't seem to happen outside of the body so when it's apart again I need to see if something is affecting the mag position slightly. It's very much a work in progress with lots of things to solve along the way and going to be a longish project but I think the cool factor when it's done will be worth it.

/thread. AEPs do work, and with a 7.4V lipo (and mosfet) the response and ROF isn't awful. But you'll see under 0.5J, and while you can put in stronger springs, there's only a tiny cylinder volume to work with. I find that an SMG or small carbine using a full size V2/V3 gearbox offers far more capability than an AEP, and I run my MP5K about 50/50 with my BASR. That said, a GBB pistol is great fun. It depends on weather and site.

Can’t be bothered to try and make a barrel clamp on RIS fit under the front sight so I trimmed a Polymer Magpul Mlok extended rail to suit 😂 Clamps through the holes in the fore end and keep the light out the way. If my repro light had threaded holes I could lose the clamp and bolt it directly - might invest in some taps and try threading it.

bought a KWA GBB Scorpion VZ61 for shits and giggles at UCAP vendetta on Sunday and after waving it about in the dark like a moron I decided it needed a torch and tracer adding. I found a file on thingiverse and modified it so that the folding stock could still fold and here it is.

bit of a work in progress. Fitting LED's and laser to the TM Curve pistol. LED's work but the laser is giving me grief. Need to redesign the push button as the grey one on there now was just to get things working.

Not sure about these trousers from AliExpress...
