I'm guessing they don't want to pay for advertising and/or the "shop" is their spare room/garage and admiting they're running a business from home would mean paying higher council tax.4 points -

Had an amazing time at the Stirling Airsoft 36 hour milsim event this last weekend. Think I got about 5 hours sleep in total, didn't stop doing various taskings including close target recces, attacking the patrol base and ambushing vehicle convoys. Glad I made it my annual weekender!! If anyone wants a full on rural milsim event then I can't recommend one run by Stirling enough, more than happy to do a full write up but probably not that different to the one I've done previously. Platatac chest rig ran exactly as I hoped it would and was perfect for the event - really happy with the purchase4 points -

The seven dwarfs were in a Catholic church. They were sitting near the rear and as the priest was speaking, they whispered and giggled amongst themselves, causing quite a disturbance. All of a sudden, Dopey stands up and says, “Father, are there any midget nuns in the church ?” “No,” said the priest, “There are no midget nuns in the church.” A little time passed and the dwarfs were again whispering and giggling amongst themselves causing quite a disturbance and noticeably angering the priest. Soon, Dopey stands up again and asks, “Father, are there any midget nuns in the city?” “No, my son, there are no midget nuns in the city or in the church.” says the priest. Again the dwarfs resume their annoying giggling to the dismay of the priest. Once again, Dopey stands up and asks “Father, are there any midget nuns in the state?” “No, my son, there are no midget nuns in the state, in the city, and no midget nuns in the church.” exclaimed the priest, obviously upset. The dwarfs continue their interference. Dopey stands up and asks, “Father, are there any midget nuns in the country?” The priest, totally angered, exclaims “No, my son, there are no midget nuns in the church, in the city, in the state, no midget nuns in the country, there are no midget nuns in the whole world!!! Now sit down!!!” Soon afterwards, a chant can be heard from the rear of the church ... “Dopey fucked a penguin. Dopey fucked a penguin. Dopey fucked a penguin.”4 points -

Spent sunday at a new site South herts Airsoft just outside Apsley (Hemel Hempstead) its the old delta force site for those that know it. It was a fun day, we only had 16 players so didnt take long to crono. Crono was done by wieght being used and in jules. 8:30 doors open we were in play by 9:15 which is a nice change from turn up at 8:30 only to take a slow walk to fist game @ 10. First game a simple elinmination game where groups where rebalanced once done. Then it was a game of sections through the entire site. We had to get a flag to a designated area once done or until timer ran out. Attackers had infinite lives defenders 5. It is in a little forest with lots of cover and some man made cover added in. The first section is a downhill attack. Due to it being very shady and dark under the canapy it was very difficult at first to spot where people are shooting from to return fire also the 2 snipers on the other team sure did well. We had 2 flanking routes or you could go down the middle but beware its a steep sudden slop in the middle which someone found out rather sharply. Then it was moving across the flatter section through the trees into more open area with manmade defences. We made it through to the last 2 barreiers and 3 defenders, who were keeping there heads down under the surpresive fire. Which gave me the opportunity to just run with pistol past both barriers taking all three out. Then only for one of the snippers who had just respawned in look a bit confused as he set up into postion, with me shooting him thinking at first I was on his team with some blue on blue and that was the end of that section The final section was so difficult we had to fight through and clear a small building then on down a track to the drum depot. Getting into and clearing the building was fine getting out the otherside, well the defenders had dug in and again being under the dark canapy we were just being shot as soon as we left the building, it was just a battle of run out and let your team mates pinpoint where you were being shot from to take them out. It was slow going and 3 of us ran out ammo so just ended up with me running with flag to end point getting shot getting dropping flag, then do it again getting a little further each time. Until as i was running to get behind some cover and managed to trip and took a diving fall to said cover. Was still fun though. Then it was lunch which currently is bring your own thiugh they are looking to change that. After lunch it was change ends and we could see how easier defenders have it. Though I think with more players it will make it a bit easy on the attackers. They were pushing us back on one flank, but it took them so much effort they swapped flanks if they had done another push on the original flank they would of broken through. But time ran out for them. Also the 2 snipers great for defenders but dut to lthe low numbers was not so good for attacking. All in all it was a great we contiued through the second section and due to how tired we all were we then just play a couple of fun little games to round off the day. There was some good use of smoke and one or two greanades used, for pyro they have no restrictions on its use as in the next field over the local farmer does clay pigeon shooting so noise is not an issue. There is so much vegitation it is a great place for snippers and DMR's alike but also engough that they cant lock you down other than the last section coming out the building. We spoke to the owner abot that and someting will change to make it a bit easier to get out of. The changes in elvation make it nice and varied site to play on but it not a big site that walking up and down the hill to too much. They have another building that they are planning to make into a litle cqb section and across 2 floor with a small mez area in the middle. As I said its a new site they still getting the feel of how games are played and what changes are required. The owner is very happy for players input on everyting. The safe zone is all barried off from the playzone with fencing and netting. Next to the crono and range area(40m range). Plenty of tables only a few floding chairs under marquees. Site has parking for 50 though that will be a tight squeeze and is allowed up 75 players. It had a small shop of just the very basics at the moment, off bbs/gas and smoke greanades. They are looking in for someone to run a bigger shop as numbers grow. Had a real blast and can see this place grow and being a great site. The site itself is great a lot of fun to play at. Can only see it get better. Just nice to see somewhere open instead of closing for once lately. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091124543588 Google map loctaion https://maps.app.goo.gl/Us6FyZgdLkDxRPue74 points -

Had heard that story along with a load of others about musician's "riders" from my then flat mate who was a drummer - but never realised that was the reason for it. Reminds me of a job where I had to get on a flat roof of a converted warehouse in London Docklands where there was a 3m balcony around the building for the top floor apartments. I'm still of the age where if I hurt myself doing something stupid its no one else's fault but my own - and that the same should apply to everyone. Hence I was rather miffed at having to write a risk assessment for the management company to go up there to confirm something ahead of a project... The writing of this thing would take longer than the trip onto the roof. So I decided to have some fun and wrote all sorts of things in there along the lines of "shall access the roof paying all due care and attention to ill tempered low flying seagulls and the urge to take a running jump". It was obvious this was never read as I got the go ahead; and was ironically nearly knocked out by the heavy roof hatch as one of the gas struts had failed and it fell on my head. Something I didn't mention checking LOL.3 points -

British Army issue Virtus helmet (aka Revision Batlskin Cobra), mandible and visor. Good luck getting one cheap! While the helmet itself does pop up on EBay the other bits are rarer and, in reality, they shouldn’t really be on the surplus market as they’re likely nicked and classed as ACTO.2 points

It's that time again. I have released the MOSQUITO 2.
TheFull9 reacted to AK47frizzle for a topic
So uh... some you of guys may remember this: Or this: And maybe this: Well, I'm glad you're back! Because here comes the fourth iteration which combines the strengths of each previous model. I'll keep this short and sweet. As per usual, the MOSQUITO is a 3D printed, open-source airsoft kit that is super compact and lightweight. This newest iteration now only requires an AK-style V3 gearbox as there is now a custom 3D printed hop-up chamber. In addition, from the above images, there is now a front and rear wired battery solution so that you don't have to get angry at me anymore for having to rewire your gearbox. You can find the STL and STEP files on the Printables page here: MOSQUITO Airsoft Kit (Open Beta 2) by HYBRID AIRSOFT | Download free STL model | Printables.com There is also an 86 page handbook that I wrote up which details the 3D printing and assembly steps (have fun with that). I hope you guys with a 3D printer can try it out. If you get stuck or want to discuss anything, the easiest way to get help is to join the discord server (1500+ members), linked at the bottom of the Printables page, and there will be people more than willing to answer your questions about the kit. This test will now run indefinitely until I release a final version of it (whenever that happens). Thank you for reading and have fun printing1 point -
mp5 - which sling?
gavinkempsell reacted to MrTea for a topic
I got lazy and just bought what appears to be a legit (or at least uses the original design) HK MP5 sling but it's not as fast to adjust as a regular 2 or 3 point sling that you'd use on an M4 for example as you need to pop the 'slider' into that bit near the magwell if you don't want to drop it and have it smack you squarely in the nuts.1 point -

I actually only load to either 100 or 120 as I don't think the mags will be as reliable filled to 175 given that VFC refer to them as 100 round mags with only a side note saying "they can be made to fit 175 with a mechanical loader"1 point -

My guess is because Ukara requires a payment as a physical retailer to check defence and to my knowledge only retailers (Including sites) can access the Ukara database directly - Meaning, they're wanting to set up a shop, and get the customers to essentially "chip in" so to speak on the cost to access the database.1 point

low fps issue
SSPKali reacted to Pseudotectonic for a topic
What gun? You mean you chrono'd 280 before, sat 3 days precocked, and now chronos 250? And the battery shouldn't run out so fast, either it is bad or the motor is too low torque, but since it is stock with a weak spring it shouldn't, so it could be the shimming, or the grease1 point -

The rifle in the vid is the colt model 715. Later known as the C7. I built mine a few years ago with help from Jonathan ferguason. He's helped me out with my 604 too. Got another project he's helped with in the pipe line too haha. Just to bore you about hahaha. The 715 in the video is very unique. It has mainly A2 features. But the upper is odd. It has an A1 rear sight, but has a A2 brass deflector. Also another M16 A2 with the auto selection. Was originally bought by the sas, but is now in use with pathfinders, paras and royal marines. Here's the one I built while back.1 point -

Recently lost a LOT of weight, I’ve always been slight but it’s been muscle, the last month has caught me off guard with illness so kits slimmed right down! LV119 with trident weighted plates, 2x Crye SPS pouches for spare mags / misc. Want some banger pouches for the rear. Velocity systems rugby shirt is mega comfy, cut up cryes top for the fun of it. Trousers will be replaced when the weather turns shyt. No belt as currently refining that to be as slimmed down as possible.1 point -

GothicGhost reacted to SSPKali for a topic
Pretty happy with this setup, has been several years in the making and refinement. TM MWS, a few minor changes to make it ambi and loft 0.32g BBs. TacBelts paracord ends for the Slingster keep it quiet and the Brownells forend keeps it old school. Waiting on a carry handle as they are like Unity Mounts but prettier. Spiritus Mk5 for 3 rifle mags and a pistol speed loader in a Esstac Kywi (kydex trimmed to allow the feeder lips to protrude…Matron!) I can top off 3 mags from this to save carrying extra weight. IFAK with actual kit I or others might need (make use of my FREC3 qualification somehow) FRV belt (back before they stopped actually supplying customers) with USP holster and TM USP, Direct Action dump pouch holding an M4 kywi for slick reloads and an added elastic leg strap a la TrexArms. Kydex Kustoms holder for the AlphaTex BFG. This set up is plenty for the usual skirmish and if I am really lazy I can run just the chest rig and Mk5 pyro on the elastic strap on the side. The coyote brown goes with most things, even the slightly faded SADF M83, and either civvy or Ranger Green gear.1 point
