Ran our first game at the Trenches we've been building for the last year the other weekend! The theme was Gallipoli - our fictionalised battle of 'Hellespont', so I was running shorts and Pith Helmet with my WW1 kit... (Yes I regretted the shorts) One of the best moment was being held hostage by an enemy officer... I'd been ordered to guard him, as we had taken him prisoner in a raid. However, during an attack I was too busy killing two of the attackers to see him draw his pistol, no one had disarmed him! He almost made it out of our trenches before anyone noticed, but someone managed to shoot him in the shoulder past me, giving me the chance to grab his pistol! I then proceded to kill a further two attackers with it! (Photo credits to Crafty Sniper Photography) (The full kit, had the tunic on in morning as it was quite chilly)

I've played at a few of the gangsta city events in the last few years and they've always been fun and well run. Plenty comedy aswell, the christmas event last year was a good laugh dressed as an elf 😂

It is done..4hrs 21minutes 22 seconds. I need a shower and a massage and thankfully both are waiting for me.

From what I understood, one of the "nice" things about movies using airsoft guns is they don't need a qualified armourer on set, (who generally work as contractors so charge high prices) but when they use real firearms with blanks they do and so it's much more expensive. Reads like free advertising off the rust incident plus turning a "we did it the cheap method" to a "we took the morally superior high ground, so cut us some slack if you spot 6mm written on the guns". Both are pretty poor from a taste point of view.

That's a sore subject....... Literally 😵

Some airsoft games have incredibly silly names. Still incredibly silly fun though. So types a man dressed as a Viet Cong guerrilla from about 1968 sitting round a campfire with similarly dressed loons.

T8 window mag has arrived, waiting on some steel take down pins, steel dust cover, and the BJ TAC 1.5 heat treated Japanese buffer spring to arrive. I think the heat gun needs to come out on the MK18 again after 3 years and what must be 50-60,000 rounds if not way more the modify tan hop rubber has a few small rips and tears with bits of rubber finally starting to affect the flight path of bb’s. SixG brass nub has been incredible and I’ve managed to have sniper battles with actual snipers when using .45g shooting across the huge valley at Stormforce. I’ve chosen not to use them long term as they travel way too slow and can be dodged matrix style, plus I like to be a bit more active. .36g seems about right for me. Platform overall is phenomenal, I honestly expected more problems than I’ve had, but my only issue I’ve ever had was a BB shattering and making it’s way into the trigger unit and jamming my fire selector, easily solved by a good clean out. She’s been well maintained internally, but I am rough with her, she gets chucked about a bit, and that’s what I want from my mws, I want a tank, that’s the way I want to build it. I’ve not even had to replace a nozzle return spring, and all those common wear and tare problems that we all warn new users of haven’t yet really surfaced on mine, I’ve even used the dreaded angry gun internals without issue, which is testament to this great weapon, I just runs and keeps running no matter what parts I use in it, or how I treat it on the field.

Got this on Wednesday. Impractical yes, but I just had to have one. Meet my new friend Mr Carl Gustav.

So last night the wife suddenly shouts out "and you never listen to me" I thought,'that's a strange way to start a conversation' 🤔

I play with a dye paintball mask and makes it a lot easier to shoulder the weapon for me. I don’t like the looks of it either but it does the job really well. I would like the UNITY Fast Miceo which is kind of the same height as this one but it’s super expensive over here. So for now it will do.

I usually play GBBRs, only rarely use any aeg's these days, and also never feel out gunned . As you say , you adlust your play style to suit. I usually run 5 mags and a speed loader which gives me about 300 rounds for a game and I've generally got some left at game over.

Yup, virtue signalling that they hate guns so much that they don't want anything to do with them, beyond making a living from glorifying their use.

Removed my silent fill o-rings from my greengas modded mags after having some trouble filling them up enough to shoot a whole magazine. problems are fixed and I can get about 2,5 mags worth of bb’s through a gas fill. Bonus picture of my CQB MWS build. looking to get a new buttstock. I want an SB tactical SBA3 but can’t seem to find a European resaler. If anyone knows one or a similar buttstock please let me know.

Oops! Thank you. Then yes a fair price

Sorry! But it really does work 🤷🏼 However! I will get some lower risers and try it out. That Hawke optic is a leftover from my Air rifle days, and I just whacked it on the ssg. It came with those risers. I'll experiment, if only to stop your eye twitching.

I think you misunderstand, I am saying that I did not choose the name of the company running the event, not that I was keeping the name secret 😁

Well talking about French things.... I phoned the French Animal Rescue people for no particular reason... I just wanted a chat

You don't know how much that needles my inner accuracy nerd... However I doubt it matters a fuck for airsoft!

And don't let naysayers say nay. We're just playing dress up and hide-and-seek with expensive spud-guns. Sure, the organisation will almost certainly be the usual comically contradictory clusterfrag, but just go out and play the way that you want to play and you'll have a blast.

It doesn't look like it however shipping appears to be a flat rate just under €20 so best make it worth your while. I wanted to try their hop rubbers and nubs but forgot to add them 😅. My order was dispatched this morning with DHL so I can't even adjust my order.

I've just had a prostate examination. Got the thumbs up from the doctor.

That's my pet hate too, I hate it when I've got someone screaming in my face "COME ON PUSH UP, GET MOVING, MAKE SOME EFFORT YOU USELESS TUB OF LARD" I hate Saturday nights with the missus😭

Think the gaol at Oakham does a pistol and shotgun night game and they allow gbbrs to them (confirm before attending!). I honestly haven't really felt out gunned with a gbbrs vs aeg players, maybe it's the site I attend. If you can't score a hit with 30 bbs you should probably move. I would love a gbbr and support weapon (actual support weapons, not an mp5 with a box mag) only event, ideally a 24+ hour event. Did a filmsim descent game that was an honor based 30 round cap and support weapons then became hugely important as did squads working together I haven't been involved in a forum based skirmish, I think we are probably all quite spread out, logistics would be a pain.

cheese and rice.. mount out of a molehill much? Forums are really really dying guys, try being encouraging i.e. the oppposite of what this thread instantly descended in to with a clearly young bloke who's first language isn't English...

Polsim is very niche, there's very few who are proper dedicated to it.....but that loadout is pretty impressive. I have seen it add a huge element to some events and then be almost irrelevant at the next based on how the players are. Personally I hate the focus on whether a face is blurred. Some photos just have people pulling silly faces, sometimes there's a genuine reason (workwise) where you don't want pics of you running round playing toy soldiers or fake coppers to be available. Having been heavily involved in recruitment for some big employers I've seen hiring managers get funny about lesser subjects.

Hi All, AEG for refference https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-sa-e39-pdw-edge-tm Recently started upgrading my stock gearbox , perun v2 hybrid, higher tpa motor. And wanted to drop a 13:1 gearset in. I bought this zci gear set to drop in the gearbox, shimmed and all happy to use it. Good engagement on the piston and gears, good meshing. Unfortunately when winding back the gears trough the case to check it all worked I kept noticing that the tappet plate wasn't returning the nozzle to the norrmal position and getting stuck. I believe this to be due too the bearing guide, anyone had a similar experience with ? Put stock gears back in and they work fine, they are fitted with a delayer.
