They’re quick on the draw!

Every two weeks usually, sometimes more. In the run up to the boy emigrating we were sometimes doing two a week. Expensive but good father-son bonding. I maintain that, once the equipment is bought, Airsoft is one if the best value for money days out..... £30+BBs per person, and i get a 7 to 9 mile run, lunch and, when the boy was here, a fun day without fear of disobedience. Once I've emigrated next year I will only get a few chances a year probably, so im packing what I can in.

In order for anyone to advise you which is best, you first need to define what you mean by best. Even if you do that, you will probably get a lot of different opinions. As to FPS, that is impossible to advise; guns that are nominally the same and are from the same manufacturer can have very different power outputs.

It didn't even cross my mind to check their email tbh, glad I posted it now 😂 When I clicked the profile prior to posting it they was browsing the "wanted" section. So many scammers recently!

This. High fps doesn't equal better, for example while my Galaxy MP5K has a higher fps than a stock TM, given the choice I'd pick a TM over it any day of the week

Read the forum rules and put them in the correct classified categories

Welcome to the madhouse I'm afraid that's just you, you freaky weirdo. I'm only joking, it's completely normal and I'd be more surprised if you didn't

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Money pit? Who said Money pit?

I was told it’s fine to allow your pets to sleep on your bed. But thanks to that advice, my two goldfish are now very poorly.

Just sending more souls heaven wards one BB at a time.

Thanks....ish 😉🙂

You seem to be correct...ish. adds are in the classifieds.

No worries One of the things I like about this place is that we look out for each other and have no qualms with calling out bullshit when it appears

Just spoke to them, definitely a scammer, same day deliver was what set alarm bells ringing. @Chrism is gone 🖕 Not like me to be this laid back, I'm gonna go put me cynical pants back on🤬

It did strike me as odd that a well established shop would be using a gmail email address

It's a scammer posing as socom tactical. The email address in the DM doesn't match the one on their Facebook page

Eh, they were decent value for money a few years back, but they're not brilliant guns, just a pleasant surprise given the price. And, yes, "best" is entirely subjective. A reasonable rule of thumb is to find a CYMA model at the price that you want to pay, and then look for reasons to get anything else for that money.

I play every couple of weeks because that's the cadence at Spec Ops... I tried another site nearby, it didn't go so well, so I've decided I'm best off sticking with what I know for the moment - and spending some of the savings on the usual consumables for the next one, and for back garden plinking (though even that's limited due to our house cat who would happily try to make a run for it when the patio door is open, and m'wife insisting our neighbours will hate the sound of my guns and will therefore cause armed police to descend upon us!) Unfortunately(?) I've missed a recent game for a spa trip, and I'm missing the next as I'll be traveling back from a holiday. The good news for me is that Carlos reckons the CQB site is on the cusp of opening, so I'll be able to get my 'fix' even if I miss a woodland game day. And there are actually some well-regarded sites nearby (around MK and Northampton) that I should have tried by now - with my job situation looking a bit happier, I might get to try 'em out soon. Where is it you live, @DanBow?

Short.

High FPS and best aren't the same thing. Also the highest FPS you can have is set by 1st the law and 2nd site you play at rules. It is also good idea to be at least 10% under the site limit as if you are chrono'd over the limit. The best case us, if you don't have a back up and there are no spare rental guns you are packing up and going home.

is there going to be some tomfoolery happening?

Show off...

I've got one here. Initial impressions are it's a good copy of the MWS. Everything works as it should and the parts that need to be steel are steel. Negatives are it's very dry out the box and needs a good lub. I have a horrible high pitched ping from the recoil spring but I think a bit of lub will sort that out. The other thing to watch out for is the QC. I've found a few loose screws straight out the box so it's worth giving it a once over when you get one to make sure everything is tight. It might even be worthwhile using loctite on anything that is loose out the box. Also worth pointing out with mine that the FPS is very consistant with very little variation between shots which is nice.

I get this, but at the same time I sometimes pair with newbie snipers as well so that I can give them some pointers and ideas on how to play the role. If we don't teach the noobs, they won't learn. That said, even if we teach the noobs that doesn't necessarily mean that they will learn either 😂

You deffo need an L85A2

Not 100% sure if it’s allowed here but seems a fresh account is dming people with wanted ad’s, seemingly advertising for socom tactical

More tea Vicar? 😂 Yeah every two weeks....hang on what are we talking about? Oh yeah I try and play every Airsoft once a month.😉

I typically play every two weeks, but I try and get out to other skirmish days and events where possible. If I could, I'd probably play every weekend

I aim to play at least once a month, but often manage twice a month through the spring / summer. Makes up for the winter when I may skip a game because of work or because cold, wet , muddy conditions aren't as much fun as they used to be 🤣

what's that? Never mind... googled it.

Less and less for me too 😟 Its been several months since I last played. I hope to go again at least once before the end of the year.

I live in Whitchurch, Shropshire. I play at a woodland site, Alpha55 but that is 35 miles away. There are 3 or 4 that are a little closer but i know the guy that owns/operates it, so for the moment I'm a little loyal, but they all only open at the weekend. Theres is one that is woodland that does occasional evening/night games but i have enough trouble avoiding tree roots when i can see them! Yes, exactly the same for me. The prospect of staying up longer than i have to just doesn't appeal.

Sounds like you're having a shocker. My mags were delivered earlier this afternoon, containg a big pink sticker on the package saying AIRSOFT 🤣

I hope so, I just got 🍿 Best is super subjective, some would say the ISC full metal split gearbox is best Others, the galaxy mpk5 TM do a NGRS which simulates recoil CYMA have a couple of ranges at different price point and mixtures of performance. I guess what I'm asking is what is your best?

As above. Plus I think you need a bit of forum cred first. Meaning you can't just join to sell. I'm prob wrong but then again I generally am 🙂

Ahoy and welcome. Yes, it's quite the rush, isn't it? I normally say "Don't blow mortgage money until you've got your UKARA!" but I guess it's bit late for that.

£3000 for a broken gun, when the new batch is coming out this year for half the price https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/c02-powered/socom-gear-barrett-m107-co2-shell-ejecting-replica_i51565 https://www.switairsoft.com/product-page/svoboda-barrett-m107-gbb-shell-ejecting-sniper-rifle

After being too impatient to wait to find a specna, I opted for the S&T G36V with the grenade launcher (Because why not?). Changed out the launcher with the mg handguard, put a ZCI dual optic on (After a lot of sanding down, it doesn't fit directly onto the S&T) and can now call the MG36 done.

HK P7 like Hans Gruber you say..... ah that'll be a Stainless P7M13 then.
