I hope years from now when @son of dan marries this woman, this thread forms the contents of his wedding speech. Sure @Dan Robinson would be proud.

Nah - you haven't met my missus, she manages to take the universal constant to whole new levels LOLs M16 has feeding issues, but I'm yet to be convinced it wasn't a mag issue - it has an insane ROF though from its 9 ish volt NIMH.. MB01 hasn't been chrono'd in a while but may need a new hop. It is otherwise as it came from Patrolbase. I'll leave that to the boy 😉 - I'm not sure a forum full of airsofters is the best place for advice on girls.

Hillbilly NVG mount.....he dangles a carrot off it 🤣

He's walked her home from school for three weeks solid - and they went on a 7 hour shopping trip together. I've told him to go for it, but he's being a wus. Youth is wasted on the young.

Got my hands on one today…feels a bit “limp” compared to the marui counterpart. Charging handle has a lot of play, everything is bone dry, the springs are twanging like mad, stock / grip are nasty cheap. BUT, the externals are lovely, markings are nice and deep, tiny bit of fettling I think these are a steal. Mag is surprisingly ok, fills fine and will clear 2 runs on semi. GM mags work much better (obviously). The only concern I have, the nozzle seal is a bit shit so we’ll see how that beds in over a few 100 rounds.

Dogs can't sign consent forms for one! And they are notorious for not calling their hits!

Been working on this. Still a work in progress. It's a close representation of the actual minimi's used by the ill fated "Bravo two zero" (as pictured) It's a basic Mk1 minimi, but was fitted with a gpmg flash hider. Mine started as a TOP M249, but has external upgrades, Replica flash hider Guarder steel gas block Guarder steel centre block Guarder steel cocking lever Guarder steel body parts. G&P steel bipod ANGS top cover, This is being worked on to actually have a working round indicator. Genuine rear sight Genuine box mag (period correct) Genuine stock (not fitted yet)

New pistol courtesy of @TheFull9 because 1911s are my kryptonite. Cycles beautifully and in my room easily gets through an entire mag on a single fill. I have swapped out the hop unit and barrel assembly for the setup that was in my other 1911 that hates cycling (ML hop unit with a nineball barrel and ML 50 degree autobot rubber and ML I-key) and will give it a run this weekend. If it runs well, I'll be running it more often because very few people run 1911s and they're incredibly beautiful pistols! Some things never change. My first loadout was an m14 and 1911 because I watched Black Hawk Down as a teenager and thought that one scene was amazing. Still running m14s (I own 2 and want to get a 3rd) and will still run 1911s

About that...

I'm the words of the old Rawhide song...'Dont try to understand 'em just head 'em up and brand 'em, keep rolling till the end of the road'

both rifles are fairly shit so if anyone can make them better, you deserve a trophy. she is very interesting and I really like her 👍 she is Russian and i have no idea if she fancies me back as i lack the ability of understanding women (hence why i play airsoft) i might be going to Tokyo with her on Saturday depending on what her mum says. however, my mums warned me that there is a bunch of Chinese tourists in the place im going to (99% of tourists that visit japan are annoying), so that may slow things down alot. where do i start? L85 is my favourite gun. its surprisingly comfortable to hold (apart from the A3 handguard), it's easy to adapt to and its iconic. I love my L85 (sounds weird) because its expensive, and I sometimes love it more than cottage pie (depends on the day). but the ICS L85 I've got at home has really good range; i can easily hit a target at 30 metres, and my longest kill was around 60-80 metres at Wycombe (I remember that kill like it was yesterday).

Forget the girl, tell us about the L85 Holy hell, Son of Dan is wiser than his years. Is that code for knackered?

For god's sake child - I told you last night.... I don't mind you having it - it's your mother you need to convince. You should probably sell the MB01 and M16 to placate her a bit - plus you haven't used them really since you got the A1. Be diplomatic... I don't want to get an earful next time I call LOL - I gotta figure out how to get the apartment WiFI upgraded remotely too. Yay me. Anyway - interesting thought this thread is for us - I'm not sure there's a question here for the forum to answer - we're all oversized children playing with expensive toys - you know what everyone will say you plumb. Have you asked that girl out properly yet? 😁

They won't be collectors items, they are a common model, still being made by Classic Army. The age might actually be considered a detriment due to plastic getting weaker over time. The M4 will get minimal money, say £100? The Mp5 is about 230 new, so I would expect £120-130. There are simply better options out there now for not a lot of money with more modern features.

The apostrophe! It's a (fuc)'king penguin... I quit my new job as a postman today. They gave me my first letter to deliver, I looked down at the address on it and thought: "This isn't for me."

Had an amazing day at Red Alert last weekend. Great marshalling team and a really well put-together site. Everytime I’ve played RA there’s been a good atmosphere and a distinct lack of poor sportsmanship, very happy to say this was the case for this game too. Got snapped a few times as we were attacking the “embassy”. Cheeky sidearm kills are always 10x more satisfying than primary kills Ran a HPA tapped WA Salient Arms AR and WE MP5k for the day, made a lot of noise and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Thank you all for replying, I don't feel too bad about only managing once a month or so now.

£1k for a serial number lol https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/products/ICS-GBB-L85A2

All of which kneel before the dysentery brown gods of SADF kit

One thing I've noticed since i don't get every weekend free anymore is that I'm far more picky about where i play and what I want from a site

Love it. The wife wants one. She is quite interested in the gun as well 😂

The EG18 & EG18X are 55mm in diameter so probably too fat unless there’s some give, the others tend to be 40mm Mk5s slot nicely in MOLLE strapping

Son of Dan, please remember we are all pew pew junkies here giving you advice, we've all (probably) been in the friend zone more than once & made bad decisions more often than that... don't listen to us (especially me). Do what feels right for you.

Already warned him of that horrible place...

Well that's certainly a positive sign @son of dan your dad's right. Stop being a wus and ask her, the worst she can do is say no

I had a feeling this would be the case, thank you for taking time out to help.

Ah yes, now you mention it, I think i saw the brass plaque on the Zil, commemorating that event!

Forget the pews, tell us about rhe girl!

That'll be Eric the dog at Rift. There's a lot of love for him (marshals and players) and heaven forbid anyone that points a pew at him, fire at him and I'd fully expect your body to never be found and everyone to deny you were ever there. Having played there he's a fantastically well behaved cocker and while he may be in the gamezone he's always out of the way, in fact I've never seen him once a game's started. His owner's a great bloke too (typical that I can remember the dog's name but not his!) and he'd certainly not want his dog to come to any harm. Most of us pamper our pets, but it's a gun dog and if it was really working then it'd be in loads more danger. I'm more than fine with Eric the marshal. Rift's a great site too so if you're avoiding it because of Eric then it's your loss because you're missing out on some great game days and you don't get to meet Eric and the rest of the (human) marshals. I wish my cocker was as well behaved.

That would actually be cruel for any dog - their ears are far more sensitive than ours. Anyway - it's your bedtime.... Scoot.

Ah, I'm with you now. That will be interesting. I don't think I ever really saw that truck being used for cover.

Please explain.my brain hurts now 😂

I’m going to order a XT100 and a XT90👍🏻

I have done this more times than I wish to admit...

New MWS build. I've been startingly original and daring in building another URG-I, but in long boi flavour, to join its schtumpig sibling (points if you get the film reference there!) Mostly HAO and Magpul externals, with a couple of BavTac bits inside; Zet plate, nozzle spring and hop nub. I've put a waaaaay too long description of the parts and the build experience in the MWS thread because clearly I had too much time on my hands when I was on leave.

The strap attachment points are held on by 3 philips screws remove them. Remove the rails, remove the front and back nuts that lock into the shell. Put them back on using the middle screw. Then drill through the front and back mounting holes. You will then need longer nut and bolts to attach for example a Team Wendy suspension system. Drilling the holes does not effect the function so can stick the original suspension back on if you wanted in the future.

finally rattlecanned the Mk12

'King Penguin. A particularly annoying penguin.

Apologies for this very contrived offering. Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary and then arranging to have her killed. A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.' Artie explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was £10,000. The husband said he was willing to pay that amount but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money. Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single pound coin that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes and reluctantly agreed to accept the pound as down payment for the dirty deed. A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Tesco supermarket. There, he surprised her in the produce department and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands. As the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath and slumped to the floor, the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well. However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the hidden security cameras and observed by the shop's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could even leave the premises. Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested. The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared... (You're going to hate me for this...) 'ARTIE CHOKES 2 for £1.00 @ Tesco

I still think even .3s is a bit excessive for a support gun, considering what you're aiming to do with a support gun is lay down a bunch of BBs You won't get very heavy tracer ammo though because I don't believe it exists, due to what materials are needed to make heavy BBs as heavy as they are and what materials are needed to make tracers all glowy are very different materials.

Zero, we pay a yearly insurance and club subscription fee (ours is €70) and that's it. For tournaments we usually pay around €20/person for the short ones and about 30/35 for the 8h+ ones.

Absolutely true. The main reason I don't "stick with the noobs" as much is that I tend to move extremely fast to wherever I'm going, and we all know how it is getting folks to rush. We should definitely be spending time teaching new players and helping them develop their skills, but at the same time I don't want to let it interrupt my gameplan.

I used to date an algebra teacher. I never could quite work her out, though. I guess that’s y she’s my x

A five-year-old girl went to the office with her father on”Take Your Kid to Work Day". As they were walking around the office,the young girl started crying and getting very cranky.Her father asked what was wrong with her. As the staff gathered round,she sobbed loudly:”Daddy,where are all the clowns that you said you worked with?”
