It's just one of those days today. Went to Worthing Airsoft with the plan of playing most of if not the entire day and ended up only playing the first game (both halves) and with a borrowed gun as well. M14 I brought with me wasn't feeding and I forgot to bring the adapter that lets me fill my MWS mags, so that was out too. Bugger. Fortunately, my friend let me borrow his m700, which chronoed at 1J so I had no MED. I only played the first game (well, both times as we switched ends) and got some cracking shots with it. Best ones were definitely one where I shot someone and he thought he got hit from behind as it skimmed the top of his shoulder just right. He put his hand up and looked behind him in a very confused manner, meanwhile I was under the holly bush about 30m in front of him giggling to myself. Second was I saw one of the ghillies on the other team (there were LOADS of ghillies today. I think we hit double digits out of about 80 players) and he was crossing over a path. He was out of my effective range, but I didn't want to let him get set up, so I aimed up and arced a BB onto him, soliciting a rather dejected hand raise and a walk away. Must've been about a 75 - 80m shot, so I'm proud of that with a 1J gun! After this game, I went back to the safe zone, bought a speed loader and got some loctite from the site tech to glue the attachment thing onto the end so that I could fill my MWS mags. The plan was to lower the power back from 1.8J that I was running at Driver Wood as a DMR and bring it back down to 1.1J so I would have no MED. Took a bit of time fiddling with the NPAS and the hop up and it was shooting okay, but it was a bit inconsistent for my tastes. I'm going to experiment with another hop rubber and maybe nub, as the rubber that's in there is a really old MR hop rubber that has been sitting in my parts box for literally about 3 years or so, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit rubbish. On the plus side, took the 1911 out with the maple leaf hop unit, rubber, i-key and nineball barrel setup and it was performing really nicely. Cycled through a whole mag without issue, slide locked back on empty and everything, and it was hitting the 45m target very consistently with me shooting fast. Definitely a success there. Anyway, that's me. Didn't play much so not much to tell, but I did hear that there was some really bad non-hit takers out there but I didn't see much. There were a few in the games where I played where it was hilariously bad, recoiling from shots to the facemask and just ducking down into cover and trying to find me, but for the mostpart I didn't have any issues outside of one or two examples like I just outlined. Also I got a letter yesterday with a bit more information being uncovered regarding my heart problem, so progress being made there as well. I will be back to being able to play properly at some point, but for now I have to continue taking it slow

Because otherwise the motor shaft spins the grub screw the first time you pull the trigger and it instantly violently adjusts the motor height, jamming it into the gears and seizing everything up. Apparently. Not that I've ever done this...

This morning, I somewhat reluctantly set off for Airsoft Plantation; when the alarm went off at 07:00, I could have quite easily remained in bed for several more hours. However, I was rather glad that I did go, not only because it was a damned fine day of airsoft but also because, after paying and getting my wristband, I bumped into three fine, upstanding members of the Brotherhood of Arseholes (BOA), an airsoft team (in the loosest sense of the word) that I have not had the pleasure of slinging plastic alongside for several years. We started off with a simple attack/defend game in the mortar pits; the attackers (that was us!) had to locate and set off two sirens that were secreted in the area. We got the first one rather quickly but locating and securing the second one seemed to take forever, probably because of the difficulty of dislodging 115 well dug in enemy players each with two lives. However, eventually we found it and set it off. After a short break to mag up, the game was turned around and we held our position for quite a bit longer than the blue team had, mainly due to some excellent communication between players, calling out sightings and movements of the enemy, who could attack from the full 360 degrees. After this, we played a long fallback game. Starting at the far end of the woods, we had to clear the enemy out of the area around the Killhouse, secure the briefcase full of packets of Colombia's finest and transport it to the Border, where a very dodgy looking chap would take it off our hands in exchange for a briefcase full of cash, which we then had to take to the bank in the village. We had a rolling respawn on a marshal, while the defenders had one life in each of the Killhouse area, the border and the village. Again, it felt like we were making really heavy weather of it, until the enemy's defence of the village finally collapsed. Huge kudos to the blue team player who, having been overlooked as the Border fell, took out about 12 of us from behind as we moved towards the village,. After lunch, we played a simple bomb delivery game in the mortar pits; each side had a smoke bomb, which had to be transported to a location on their opponent's side of the mortar pits and set off. All players had two lives and only five designated players on each team could transport the bomb, so they had to be protected. My involvement with this game was lamentably short as I got slotted twice in short order while pushing forward with intemperate aggression. Once that game was resolved, the fallback game was turned round; a stalwart defence of the area around the Killhouse delayed the blue's attack; once hit, I fell back to a favourite spot near the border, a deep ditch protected by a fallen tree. I was joined there by a friendly Bush Wookie. We put up a good defence; he died first and I held out for quite a while before being overrun. One chap got very salty when I emptied a pistol mag into him and his pals at close range. After falling back to the village, I was eventually taken out by a sniper; as I walked back to the safe zone, the marshal announced that the blue team had five more minutes to match our time; they failed! It was a very good day of airsoft and it was great to play alongside the BOA guys again. The only downside was that I yet again failed to win the raffle for a TM pistol. Splatoon is next Sunday's destination. Weapons used: Hurricane/G&P SR47 Double Bell AKMS Milbro M1911 Classic (CO2)

Every step towards a resolution is a major step.

Small wins @Impulse so take that as a positive Small wins @Impulse so take them. Good to hear progress is being made ?

I'm no expert but it sounds good to me.?

Why on earth would you want to HPA it anyway?

That's awesome thank you Surprisingly good range, the closer ones south were like half that for air rifles which is barely minimum engagement for DMR. And just at the edge of my EV range (ev problems)

MWS mags are a drop in fit. Ive got both the MTR and the MWS mags are the same. I tend to use the MTR mag for chronoing and then the full size in game.

If only there was an HPA tech/questions subforum.....

I try and get out once a month with the boy. Shift work doesn't help matters but we spend a fair amount of time teching our pews and the boy (13) is getting pretty good at it. He loves it when we go, usually end up taking one of his mates too. I try and get right into it but he's usually run off and is busy organizing an attack or whatnot. I can't lose him on the field, I can usually hear him barking orders at fully grown men....?

Me: Can I get a nice Colt M4 AEG in stock please? Shops: Here's 1001 different AAP/5.1 swiss-cheesed slides and OBs in every colour under the sun I guess it's what sells.. yet I never see anyone actually using guns with these parts on..?

Greyhound in north Coventry. You'll need ID for your first shoot. It's an air rifle range, Targets to 50 yards. Ask them on arrival about airsoft stuff. I've taken my stuff in a few times and they have had no issue with it. I think it's £7 to shoot all day, and there's a decent pub next door for lunch/toilets. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Greyhound Gun Club/223205251025733/

That diode ( or variant thereof) is for reverse polarity protection in case you connect the battery the wrong way round. It will only work if you also have a fuse in the circuit and that fuse blows, no blown fuse and the diode blows , then the circuit dies of reverse polarity. If you remove it and connect things up correctly and the unit works then replace that diode, if you want protection again, with the highest current diode that fits in the space, smd or otherwise. If it doesnt work then your mosfet control circuitry is probs fried. The 1913 is an imperial case size, .19inch by .13inch, you can measure the component to verify. The equivalent is 4833 in metric

A man is in a hotel lobby. He wants to ask the clerk a question. As he turns to go to the front desk, he accidentally bumps into a woman beside him and as he does, his elbow goes into her breast. They are both startled and he says, "Ma'am, if your heart is as soft as your breast, I know you'll forgive me." She replies, "if your penis is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 1221."

I kinda want to do either the 'M4A1' or AK-47 from MW2 2009 and while the AR is pretty easy to closely replicate the AK seems a lot harder. I found a picture of a really well done effort: In the game (remaster, but it's accurate to the fuzzy model in the original): I cannot find a 47 with a side rail though, which makes sense in terms of replicating real rifles but given the random non-existent variants that do get made I was initially hopeful. I don't want to do an M as a base. I did learn basic riveting long long ago, but I'm yet to see a home-applied AK side mount on an airsoft gun so I'm sceptical of that tbh. This is probably more a thought/discussion exercise than anything tbh, but if anyone does have any thoughts I'd be interested to hear them.

So which other positions are available for us to take over ukupa? As we now dominate the east coast..... Uzah

Well I had a blast at Players of War near Falkirk, it's my local site & I'm finally getting used to the layout, not a huge turnout but more than enough to be a good day, My L85 Carbine performed well. (last time the motor screw unscrewed mid game(locktite FTW)) but I deffo felt the extra weight. My Polymer Scar-L was as reliable as ever. Took my P90 too as I've finally got enough mags to field it properly but it stayed in my gun bag all day (truth be known it's only been re-racked in the past hour or so). Tried a rotation of mid caps in one game, then hi caps in the next & pretty sure I prefer the hi caps, not so much spray & pray as in earlier game days but certainly used plenty of BB's. I'm a big unfit chap so usually prefer to creap forward until I'm in range of actually hitting some 'enemy' but noticed a lot more forward progress in my last attacking game... (must try harder in future). I have noticed I seem to lose my motivation in the 4th game in the past few game days so I'm going to focus on staying hydrated & getting shot less as the walk to & from the spawn point is doing my head in.

[WORK IN PROGRESS] Old Arktis 2REP Crossrig with proprietary ammo pouches. Remainder described in comments. AMA. The Arktis Crossig is modular. It has X straps and also H type yoke, which, combined with a belt, turns it into a belt webbing. Rigid mags are some Chinese airsoft retailer. Dump pouch by Warrior Assault System. Admin pouch by Wynex. Holster is IWI. Colt is a WE metal frame 1911. [EDIT] Missing here : Galaxy S10 case and attachment (3D printed) - on route - and PRC 152 with PTT and headset (because no money tree grows in my garden).

4 guns that look like they were all ordered from BBGuns4less. All are worth less than £125 apiece and I doubt the scope is worth all that much. The seller wants £500 for the bundle.
