Welcome. I wouldn't take too much from youtube videos as they're usually heavily edited to make the person filming look like an airsoft god and give a very unrealistic view of what games are really like.

Welcome mate, you've come to the right place, word of warning though, be careful announcing publicly that you don't have a license, the ukara police have eyes & ears everywhere & are quick to pounce on offenders. So endeth the first lesson😏

Yeah...that's fucked.

it’s like new 😐

Think you forgot the linky dude.

VFC, Ares, G&G. First has great externals but the internals don't reflect the price tag; Second is just a steaming pile of shit with proprietary everything, but their polymer bodies are sturdy; G&G guns were good 15 years ago, the technology used is also 15 years old but prices have gone up dramatically. Regarding gear, eeh, anything with "Airsoft" in the name/brand. Also some design choices make no sense to me (Viper products mostly), like making the spiritus knock-off chest rig too narrow so that it can't fit 3x stanag mags.

I would also recommend that the retailer cover up the box too 😳

That's fucked up, in a sport where our biggest risk is our eyesight, they're playing god with ours for the sake of a few quid (x?), no mention of conviction, but it's got to merit some jail time surely ?

ups, that'll be the issue then ! yep mention it to the retailer , they need to know what a crock of shit their delivery service are so they can use something better.

I would mention it. At this point those with less morals would take it in and then claim I never arrived. Get a second one curtesy of ups as its their insurance that would be picking up the bill not JD.

Seemingly old habits die hard, and as much as I liked the look of the N4 MWS build it was; A) Shorter handguard than I like. B) A lot more cash tied up in what’s meant to be a ‘back up’ of sorts. So I’ve reverted back to the 11.5” URGI, but did pick up a new stock, stock riser and red dot. The Holosun 403R now sits on my Unity riser with a QD to easily swap it around on the replicas I use that on (3 of the 4 I own) and replaces an old faithful Vortex Crossfire which is back on a standard lower 1/3rd sitting on the AK. It’ll not doubt get painted once the weather outside is a bit nicer... or wind up selling it all because it'll rarely get used over the electric options I have available to me. Self awareness is important and all that... 😒.

Welcome Slater I remember watching vids of airsoft play and thinking "that looks so rubbish and the guns sound awful" 😆 Of course when you're there with BBs flying around you its quite another experience 😉 We always recommend renting the first 3 games for UKARA registration because it allows you to experience the weapon handling (usually an M4) You'll talk to people with different setups and get to hold and shoot some other toys if you ask nicely. This will help you better decide what you'll want to get for yourself. Weapon length is NOT proportional to more range so keep that in mind. Does your friend have a pew you can use? Of course that would mean you don't have to rent and can play as a 'walk-on' just like him. First thing is to buy good eye protection. (Search the forum for discussions on best options) Second is to get good boots with ankle support. (Army surplus is perfect unless you want more modern comfort) Other gear is highly changeable and you'll collect all kinds of webbing and stuff

Never even considered a SRC anything as it is a poster brand for BBGUNZ4less... It might be a source for externals, but that is what the boneyard is for...

Insufficient custard.

You forgot to feed the gearbox pixies, didn't you?

I just put SOLD in size 72 text in the advert before marking it as complete:

Hi all, regarding members putting a piece of paper showing their username & the current date within the pictures in their sales threads, I mistakenly thought this was already a rule, but rereading through the forum I note this is currently only a recommendation. Any way this could be made a permanent requirement please, I just feel that with the ever growing membership, many of whom only come here to take advantage of the high member count & just utilise the classifieds, it's only a matter of time before we get another run of scammers trying their luck. I also feel this should be applied to the appraisals section, as some threads there seem to be worded in such a way as to generate sales interest, with members often replying saying things like "first dibs please", again without the op displaying proof the items are in their possession. Its a small point but fairly crucial in ensuring provenance of items shown in pictures.

It was a bit lower down first, and that was a pain. Where it is now I can reach fairly easily so the only real difficiency is the securing strap. I was pondering the leg holster this gameday when I realised how many of the Call of Duty slides for cover I was doing. Which was surprisingly high considering how fecked both my knees are 😢. The whole Auto 9 thing is a light hearted backup for my DMR, as the Baby Badger is viable for that roll too. Not with the way gas pews are behaving in this weather 😛. Point taken though. Will come with practice. It'll have to... The safety mechanism is utter pants.... Nearly took out several of my office monitors the other week when I was being careless with maintenance gas. 😱😱😱 Also considering adding a collar and Brassards to the plate carrier too.

Poor trigger discipline in that last pic, you're going to shoot yourself in the arse at some point 😂

No offence fatty😜, but that looks like a pain in the arse to use, surely wearing it on a belt with a lower thigh strap on would work better ? PS. I'm a chunky monkey so I'm allowed to make fat jokes🤣, I'm also a slap head, pretty much disabled, & ugly as fuck, so the world is my oyster, maybe I should go non binary & then I'll have covered all the bases ? (snowflakes need not reply🖕)

I alarmed at the number of obscure geek/coding/networking and military references I'm getting from various posts and signatures.... And I'm just a plumber.

My SRC MP5 is the stamped steel one. The externals are great, but the internals were absolute and utter shite; they went in the bin.

The boy has confirmed he wants to go too as a friend of his is goi lng as well. Plans are now afoot to get our operative codenamed "little nanny" to Air drop lunch from her house. As it's a more open site, I'm wondering if one of my drones could be brought in for aerial surveillance 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just went on a bit of a spree in Osaka, ended up with an TM SD6 and a MK46. Prices too good not to. Pics to follow when I return next week

As tackle says, there’s a balance between travelling with it and sending back and forth It should be possible to post it, but watch out for customs declarations (even though it’s not a new item coming back customs could be nosey and claim some value, but if it’s documented as going out and back then that takes off any import charges) There’s the worry of it disappearing or being delayed, and any arrangements for someone to receive it (hotels can be willing to receive and hold - but might worry about the type of item)

. Why do bees stay in their hives during winter? Swarm.. I've lost my wifes audiobook. Now I'm never gonna hear the end of it!

Hiya bud. Yes it's worth a go. As you say it's a compact site but still good distances between teams if you need it. Mixture of dense rhododendron and wooded areas. Features and props are being added on a regular basis,a tunnel is being constructed at the moment to link two parts of the site. It's what I call a clean site. It's very sandy soil which drains well and even after rain it's very difficult to get too dirty so even laying down you are not gonna get in a shit state,and any mud on boots ect just dries and falls off. We have a large parking area and most times combat south park their mobile shop there if not consumables are available as well as drinks and snacks. On site portaloos generally well kept. Large covered area for bombing up and free tea and coffee. Come on down mate it's worth a punt👍 Regards

What I like about these youtuber god airsofters that they never die. And then I go to play indoor for instance and die at least a 100 times during a 6 hour session. 😎 Creative cutting is defo strong on these lads...

I've had an SRC M4 AND RPK. Both are utter shit. They're heavy, poor build quality and below average internals. My M4 melted it's trigger contacts before I even managed to take it to a game. We and all of its rebranded variants are... inconsistent. Vfc are nice externals but average at best internals. I only buy them second hand or boneyard.

retailers have pre ordered so have no idea why they haven't put pre orders up yet . It might be just a bit early for them with changing exchange rates etc They are not due until after summer

New toy for my sniper kit and going to make working as part of a sniper/spotter pair incredibly effective. Is it needed at airsoft ranges? Not for most shots, since we're talking not much more than 100m max, but it'll help make long range shots a bit more consistent. Going to start learning precisely how to use those little dots on my scope for those long range shots Going to take it for a spin and get some ranges from some firing positions I like at Worthing Airsoft this weekend, as well as seeing if their targets on the range are the ranges they say they are

... Or the spammers script needs a tweak (which I think Rogerborg might well have been hinting at)

I feel that SRC gets a bad rep for it's cheaper lines. However like many other brands it does have it's good and (admittedly mostly) bad products. The V3 Gen 3 SRC Gearbox is genuinely very solid, the stock SRC Magnatar motor is a very very good motor and I still snap them up these days. SRC were the first brand to make a genuine stamped steel MP5 AEG which is very good quality (Not to be confused with the cheaper models). The one thing I would accuse SRC of is complacency, they have fallen behind most of the competition when it comes to modern features on their entire range.

To CURRENT_USER You know when you've been doing too much SQL 🙂 The geek-omiter is peaking for sure.

oh why not, what everybody said.... At least you uploaded a video though, you're going to need to open up that badboy for a little exploratory. either do yourself or try and find a local tech if you can

I've booked in for Sunday 19th - maybe I'll see you there Dan

Was about to post the same.. This has to be a troll or a fraud... or the armourer to Tears of the Sun

He’s only after XXXL sizes, not cadet instructor extreme levels!!!!!!

I have a Lancer Tactical LT12 that I bought to find out for myself just how bad they are. The answer is that it is not too bad at all, once you get over everything being just a little bit off spec. After much fiddling around, I ended up putting the original gearbox and hop back in as nothing else seemed to fit or work in it. Fortunately, the QC gearbox and rotary hop are pretty decent; not great but decent. The biggest issue that I have found is that it is VERY picky about magazines; it only seems to like Magpul PTS PMAGs and some other mags that I have modified to fit. The hop seems to have a very short feed tube. It is currently the test bed for a CHiLUN mosfet. It happened; what they were doing, and are still doing, is unforgivable.

And back to CSW we go, I mean damn that was a great site for many reasons. A great place to start.

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

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.

Approximately 30 members of the SAS were involved in the Iranian Embassy siege. So far I've met 1500 of them in pubs

Ahoy, user new to [FORUM TOPIC] from [COUNTRY LOCATION]. How are you enjoying it so far?

How do you know if someone served in the army? He's gonna tell you. (Based on true story from last Sunday.)

A sadist, a masochist, a murderer, a necrophile, a zoophile, and a pyromaniac are all sitting on a bench in a mental institution. "Let's have sex with a cat?" asked the zoophile. "Let's have sex with the cat and then torture it," says the sadist. "Let's have sex with the cat, torture it, and then kill it," shouted the murderer. "Let's have sex with the cat, torture it, kill it and then have sex with it again," said the necrophile. "Let's have sex with the cat, torture it, kill it, have sex with it again, and then burn it," said the pyromaniac. There was silence, and then the masochist said: "Meow
