Well this is good news I think, HobbyKing are re-opening their UK warehouse, so some decent cheap batteries will be available to compete with the usual Nuprol stuff... All their Airsoft batteries... https://hobbyking.com/en_us/batteries-chargers.html#q=&idx=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products&dFR[battery_pack_use][0]=Airsoft&dFR[warehouses][0]=UK&dFR[warehouses][1]=Global&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][0]=UK|1&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][1]=UK|2&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][2]=UK|3&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][3]=Global|1&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][4]=Global|2&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][5]=Global|3&hFR[categories.level0][0]=Batteries %2F Chargers %2F%2F%2F Batteries %2F%2F%2F LiPo&is_v=1 7.4v airsoft with Deans connectors... https://hobbyking.com/en_us/batteries-chargers/batteries.html#q=&idx=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products&dFR[config][0]=2&dFR[hardware_wireconnector_plug][0]=T-Connector&dFR[warehouses][0]=UK&dFR[warehouses][1]=Global&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][0]=UK|1&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][1]=UK|2&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][2]=UK|3&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][3]=Global|1&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][4]=Global|2&dFR[warehouses_stock_data][5]=Global|3&hFR[categories.level0][0]=Batteries %2F Chargers %2F%2F%2F Batteries %2F%2F%2F LiPo&is_v=1

The scene is a funeral wake. Several people have given moving tributes to the deceased, and now the grieving widow asks if anybody else would like to add anything. A man stands up. ‘May I say a word?’ he asks. ‘Of course,’ says the widow. ‘Plethora,’ says the man. ‘Thank You: that means a lot,’ replies the widow.

Been researching different gas pressures for my TM MWS. Usually using ASG Ultrair (beige bottle) and found this handy video comparing different gasses. “Airsoft Mike” Youtube video shows the following (amongst others): Nuprol 1.0 - 320fps ASG Ultrair - 345fps V6 - 365fps V8 - 375fps Nuprol 3.0 - 375fps Obviously it will vary from platform to platform but a handy guide to, in the words of “Play Your Cards Right”, higher or lower? 😁

I think my favourite part is "Cyma AK47 with extras", and then "the extras are extra".

Jesus wept Dan. 🤣🤣🤣

This is coming out soon - should be a much lower cost base gun (albeit all plastic) to stick some upgrades on. Both are Edge 2.0 - the only difference is the cosmetics. Internals should be the same, assuming they both came out of the factory around the same time. There have been rolling updates to the Edge series to resolve QA issues, so there might be minor variances in component choice.

A 75-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?' 'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied. The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that.' 'Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said. The Receptionist replied; 'Now you have caused some needless embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.' The man replied, 'You should not ask people questions in a roomful of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone.' The man then decided to walk out, waited several minutes and then re-entered. The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, 'Yes??' 'There's something wrong with my ear,' he stated loudly. The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. 'What is wrong with your ear, Sir?' 'I can't piss out of it,' he replied.

QBZ-95. A decent Browning Hi-Power/L9A1.

A decent MP5. Ive only played a couple of games so far and picked up a lovely Valken M4 but my dream RIF is an MP5. It was seared on to my brain by the hooligans from Hungerford going for a little tea party at the Iranian Embassy when i was a wee nipper.

I've got an MP9, Masada/ACR and L85A2 so list goes; L86 LSW F2000 Tavor WA2000 Scar-H VorpalBunny AM.45 and P90 just because it annoys people and they're rare. Often used as wall hangers rather than in games APS CAM870 AK12 MP5SD The amount of people who've asked about my MP5 when I've played with it has me thinking they're considered rare in the UK.

Seems really weird as several UK-based retailers use UPS. Fingers crossed you get squared away pal

I guess it'll be pot luck..I hope you don't have to...it's a real pain in the arse. Good luck!

@The_Roach oh this happened in France! Phew, don't scare us like that 🙂

Iirc camoraids on Canvey Island do tech work on the TM MWS. Might be worth trying them

Yes indeed, thanks for that..I was reading backwards up the board.

Viper Vx stuff has a similar issue in that they also have non-compatible clips - but the viper ones could be modded to remove a sliver of plastic on the sides of the clip. This allowed me to attach a chest rig to a Thing2 clone. But a replacement set of split buckles only cost a few quid from Aliexpress; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004716250891.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.5.4bc93682OmyllU&pdp_npi=3%40dis!GBP!￡1.61!￡0.41!!!!!%40211b88f116953077730546629e86d4!12000030212331773!sh!UK!1772341666

I think @Asomodairuns one!

Unless all of the accessories are genuine, real steel items, genuine Peqs and Eotech’s etc, which they clearly aren’t, there is nothing here to justify £1000, never mind £5000. I wonder if he meant £500 and added an extra 0 by mistake.

@ak2m4E-Express is available on orders under $1,000 HKD (approx £100) which my last one was. The rest have been UPS IIRC.

"Modified Honey Badgers" in what way? Just slapped on a PEQ box (are they laser & LED, LED only or battery box?), a hand grip and a 552 RDS to be "tacticool" or in addition to the previous ergonomic mods, a comprehensive list of internal upgrades were made to give some semblance of justification for the price? "Canadian Colt M4 with scope, modified...450fps" Modified to make it a hot AEG that a buyer would have to go to further expense and/or effort to make it legal or modified to safe or semi-auto only for a DMR? I won't understand those who want to charge what looks like a huge markup worth but they won't be clear about what they're selling and itemise the "modified" bits to inspire any confidence. At face value, £2500 would be generous, never mind £5000.

Certainly sounds like he's regretting it.

Cheers Duff. I was looking at those on Tactical Kit over the weekend. Definite contender.

Flip it the other way?

To be fair... some of our midges wouldn't fit through that.

What do you do when a snake bites you? Take anti-hissss-tamines.

The grub screw is a tiny head as well. I thought mine was a pin at one point.

There was a fierce battle between the Cowboys and Indians. The Indians captured one of the Cowboys and took him to their village. The Indian Chief greeted the Cowboy and told him, “You must die in three days, but you get one wish per day. What is your first wish?” The Cowboy said, “Can you bring my horse?” The Indians brought the Cowboy’s horse, and the Cowboy whispered into the horse’s ear. The horse ran off to town and came back with a beautiful blonde. The Cowboy took the blonde in a teepee and made love to her. On the second day, the Chief told the Cowboy he must die in two days and asked what his second wish was. The Cowboy asked if they could bring his horse again. The Cowboy whispered in the horse’s ear again; the horse ran off to town and returned with a voluptuous redhead. The Cowboy took the redhead in a teepee and made love to her. On the third day, the Chief told the Cowboy you must die today and asked him what his third wish was. The Cowboy requested his horse again. The Chief whispered under his breath, “Crazy White Man.” The Cowboy grabbed the horse by his ears, looked straight into the horse’s eyes, and said, “Read my fucking lips; I said bring Posse!”

Dom is my spirit animal.

The holy trinity - firepower-mobility-protection. Improve one, compromise the others. Which is one of the reasons why, in Afghanistan, the casualty became the mission. L85A3 “makes weight savings for the frontline soldier…of 100 grams”… What’s the effing point?! Project Payne has been around for donkey’s years, everybody talks the talk but there just isn’t the close logistic support chain to actually make it work. Modernisation and “Future Soldier” rumbles on - I was involved in FIST 😳 back in 2006-2008, blue force tracker, optics, lightweight batteries, etc, etc “lighten the load”! Most of it never materialised and, by and large, any weight savings are usually made up by carrying the extra ammo.

I could have been at DSEI this week, but have been doing other work things and not been able to dedicate a day out. It would have been interesting, particularly that Future Soldier stand - Future Soldier covers many things, and in my current role the context is at very high level on the structuring of the Army, but a few years back I was involved in a few projects under the Future Soldier programme and I did get to go out on the Plain to get a hands on understanding of the equipment, needs and experience of those out on the ground (AKA play with the cool toys) with current equipment, future and potential future equipment. A good one I once saw was two side by side displays - integrated future soldier with all the fancy equipment like the guy photographed above, under development and trials to military specifications but next to ‘eBay soldier’ equipped with off the shelf gadgets - highlighting that the vision of the high tech soldier of tomorrow was what ‘todays soldier’ was at that time encountering with the opposition in Afghanistan etc As @The_Lord_Ponchopoints out all these come as added weight (plus other issues*) Project Payne is frustrating for those involved. Every time the load is lightened, or redistributed the result tends to be that more gets carried and if in doubt the extra thing carried is ammunition Project Payne is named after a soldier at Normandy who had been photographed to illustrate the equipment carried by infantry in June 1944, and is used to illustrate customisable load carrying that is suitable for the task and minimising carrying just in case. Another example highlighted in Payne was Long Tan where the Australians on patrol found themselves in action for hours but didn’t run out of ammunition, despite opting to go out with only the standard load * For example quick release body armour /webbing - Make a vehicle more survivable over an IED/mine and then you get live soldiers trapped in an upside down or submerged vehicle, or body armour that protects you from being shot but slows you down making it more likely that you get shot

If you want a Holographic style optic, I have a SOTAC branded XPS3 from Ebay and it works a treat. Bright enough for use outdoors on a sunny day but doesn't have huge issues with parallax in my experience but it does exist, it always will with cheap airsoft optics. They're pushing the top end of 'budget' in airsoft but it's worth it. Between that and my HolyWarrior S1 XPS3 I struggle to choose which is better. The HW S1 has an annoying habbit of not turning on/not accepting CR123A batteries, i've spent 20+ min finger fucking it before it works where the SOTAC one just turns on instantly, zero issues. The HW however has light levels low enough to be used with NVGs (for the ultra larpers that use them which rules out 99% of players) The SOTAC can be green or red reticule, whichever you prefer. There's an ebay store called "mk1_tactical" who sells a lot of SOTAC branded gear. You'd likely benefit from their Comp M2 offering. A mistake people often mistake is buying an optic that is too low (due to face protection) meaning they have to bend their neck into a strange place to get a good sight picture. After realising their mistake they buy a riser. The Comp M2 i've linked earlier comes with the riser/mount meaning you're unlikely to have this issue.

I got one of those Humpty Dumpty toys from Aldi for my kids. It's brilliant. It comes with Aldi King's horse's and Aldi King's men.

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.

A dog and a cat are having an argument over which species humans like most. The dog says "humans like us more, they even named a tooth canine after us. Naming such an important body part after us shows dogs are the favourite" The cat just smiles and says "you're really not going to win this one you know"

A man is in the hospital getting examined by a doctor. The doctor looks at the man with a serious gaze and says ”You need to stop masturbating.” ”Omg why?” Says the man a bit worried. ”Because I can’t examine you while you’re masturbating” says the doc

Ah, that wonderful German precision and efficiency!

If you haven't heard of Ready or Not, it is a game still in development, It is very reminiscent of the early Rainbow 6 games, or SWAT4. (I believe some of the dev team worked on R6 games back in the day, but I may be mistaken) Here's what the steam page says: "Ready or Not is an intense, tactical, first-person shooter that depicts a modern-day world in which SWAT police units are called to defuse hostile and confronting situations." Kick in doors, free hostages, you know the drill. Tonight a bunch of noobs will be playing it. I am one of those noobs. If you're bored on a Friday evening, like this sad sack, and feel like seeing what the game is like then here's my youtube live stream. We'll be starting soon.

Its a funny ol world. Two men arrested in Portsmouth last night. One was drinking battery acid! And the other was eating fireworks! Police charged one and let the other one off.......... 🙃👍 Regards

Yes of course, first time I have had this myself. Ordered and received a KWA Tavor GBBR from WGC no problem through UPS, dunno what the fuss is about.
