Next piece of the British collection puzzle sorted. G&G L129A1 Got a few bits to do like sort correct trades and some modifications here and there. But will get there.

I do not subscribe to this viewpoint. They're discontinued, so they have no aftermarket support and therefore should be cheaper. It's not like they're a collectors item!

Everyone loves a delivery day ?

Yep, at about 165fps, good luck hitting what you aim for?

Because AEP goes BBBBBRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP

Absolutely right. To me, airsoft is about a bunch of (mostly) grown-ups playing dress-up and running around like toddlers on tartrazine, shooting each other and having a bloody good laugh at ourselves. I like seeing new players at site get bitten by the bug, learning off the experienced heads, showing off guns and gear, and generally being huge nerds. I don't see us as any different to model railway enthusiasts, stamp collectors or any other hobby that has a passionate, niche following. Boasting about hurting people, especially "noobs," generating drama where there is none or generally just being an obnoxious tit does nothing to take the hobby forward.

I have a real thing for 7 Eleven sandwiches ... We have one literally next door to our apartment so I'm always sneaking in there for midnight snacks. Not long ago we went to Nikko for a two day trip and it was gorgeous.... Managed to get some nice drone shots too. https://photos.app.goo.gl/RnaRiq8ELcvp3JvGA Posting images to practice remote image hosting... See forum feedback thread.

As someone who's recently had a relative die from covid related pneumonia this shit really pisses me off

The man is a bell-end of the highest order. The only thing I can recommend absolutely is his Twitter, which is a collection of nuclear hot takes and some of the purest, most concentrated cringe ever to splatter across the face of the internet. Some recent highlights include: Have you considered forging COVID-19 certificates? Would you rather have dinner with me, or wear my clothes? Would you rather date a beautiful woman, or be my simp? "I think Andrew Tate's a pretty cool guy. Eh traffics women and doesnt afraid of anything." All of these are just from the last three months, truly amazing. Some more absolute bangers: My unpopularity is symptomatic of societal decline. I would like to take this opportunity to not attempt to refute any of these accusations.

After hours of changing out internals, attachements, adjusting hop, spraypainting, paint removal, I have succesfully made my TM MK18 look exactly like every other MK18, and I love it ?

Lets put it another way - would people watch his videos and defend him if he got into rugby purely to try and high tackle people? Or football if his aim was to two-foot lunge everyone in sunday league (albeit this happens anyway)? Would people still want to play in a league that allowed this to carry on?

"Transform your electric pistol to a real beast of a weapon!" Can anyone explain to me how simply increasing number of rounds between refilling or changing mags transforms an AEP into a "real beast"?

The thing is that the more people decide they've had enough of his bullshit, the more ridiculous shit he has to pull to stay in the public eye

Growing scarcity of a discontinued product has to be matched by high demand to warrant a higher price. Being "discontinued" was the rationale one fellow previously reported in this thread had used in an attempt to inflate the price of a glorified boneyard item from a failed relationship he seemed very bitter about.

Fair point. Alright: Harajuku is always a good shout. Girls love Harajuku. There's a mameshiba cafe on Takeshita Street as well - 30min for 1000yen. Yasukuni Shrine has great photo opportunities, but the subject matter might be a bit heavy for a date, at least at the beginning. Edit: As she's not fond of military stuff, avoid the Yushukan Museum which also located in the shrine complex. Can't go wrong with Akiba in general. The prizes from UFO catchers/crane games make for great date memories (if you're financially prepared for it). My wife informs me that the anime-related shops in Ikebukuro are aimed more at girls if that is her thing. Hamasushi, the McDonald's of sushi. Avoid dinnertime. I've not been, but I've heard Ueno Zoo is pretty good. If you can afford it and can go further afield: Enoshima Island is the cliched thing to do. Mount Takao is a good climb and easy to get to. Moominvalley Park/metsa Village in Hanno is the kind of super cute place most girls love. Take a Chuo Line limited express to Otsuki, then a Fujikyu train to Kawaguchiko, and then walk to Lake Kawaguchi. The view is amazing - I take my wife there for our anniversaries. Plus you're right by Mount Fuji so if the clouds aren't too low there are amazing pictures to be had. Maybe save this date for later.

yeah it went good. so far, took her to the Tokyo sky tree, then a cat café (she really misses her cat), and took her to a theme park last Saturday. only just realised how good of a photographer she is (made me look much 10 times better than i usually do, and made my jawline look sharp). but I'm running out of ideas on where to take her next ? great shop, like @Dan Robinson said, he bought his auto 9 there, BUT, not the greatest idea considering that her brother is trying his best to avoid conscription in Russia, and she's not fond of most things related to the army/military.

personally, I think he's a massive twat. he has a really punchable face. he sometimes makes it look like that he hit someone, even though the BB is very clearly going towards the next county over. and like everybody has mentioned, unnecessary headshots. yes, this is a sport where you shoot people, but hitting someone in the head on purpose is just being another level of bellend (I usually apologised for headshots, accident or on purpose), but then complaining about it when it happens to him is the one thing that gets to me. my last reason, when he doesn't shoot women. they paid to get shot at, and you have a clear shot, and yet you don't shoot them because they're a girl. sure, its "polite", but again, they paid to get shot at, and it doesn't get you any closer to getting a touch from them. i also find the "tactical voice" he does REALLY annoying. that voice that he does when he explains a mission/objective. just talk with your slightly less annoying, normal voice. this is why he will never feel a touch of a women...

I think we have collectively given the oxygen thief enough of our time, ignore him he will eventually go away, get bored, run out of places to play or someone will twat him one.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/25770-100rd-electric-pistol-mags-x2 - £55 posted?!? orrrr £10er each new from PB..

I've never played with him not tht I know of anyway. Personally I think the guy is abit of a bell end as the majority of us are there to have fun. We minimise head shots don't intentionally shoot people in sore places don't go round calling everyone cheaters. The guy intentionally aims for the head or sore places even when a plate carrier or somewhere thts not gonna hurt as much is open. Sits in bushes whistling for people to turn to shoot then in the mostly upper part of the body it is amusing don't get me wrong but aim further down dude. Its all to get a reaction for his YouTube channel for views. He mag dumps people (little child I've seen) yet when it happens to him he goes off his head. On calling people cheater's half his shots miss if you look very carefully and sometimes people don't feel getting shot from distance due to clothing or armour. From the videos I've watched I almost feel like he enjoys hurting people in a sadistic kind of way. Cheaters are actually few and far between from what I've experienced anyway and I've been playing for a good few years don't get me wrong I have come across a few genuine cheater's but most of the time you think you've hit someone it's either not as a bb is extremely small and hard to follow through the air to target and because of wind range bb ballistics clothing or armour. Just try again. He seems like an awesome player tactically and gets round the field well but the fact that he's obviously baiting people to bite and making content for YouTube through headshots dirty painful shots then running up and laughing (personally I always apologize for a nippy shot) to me let's what could be a genuinely awesome player down. Need the "hits" on the tube I suppose.

Haha. Well I enjoyed it lol.

I do like a tree photo Not both?

I might knick that one for me and SWMBO. But were they the fun kind - or the I f'ked up kind? LOL

That's the bit that really bothers me. We know there are plenty of nob-goblins out there, and we're relying on sites to identify and deal with them. That Phoenix seems to actually welcome this sordid sociopath - knowing full well that he's revelling in breaching the first rule of airsoft - means that they don't give a stuff about any of their other customers. They're fully complicit, and it's not a site that I'd ever visit on that basis.

Probably 20% more with pictures for us to perv over ?

ShadowFoam, finishes off the Cams quite nicely I think Well, gotta have somewhere snug for the Sig and the 416 backup to rest

Uh, are you in the UK? If so, what muppet sold him that? If you're in the UK, then what he's got there is a Section 5 firearm, not an airsoft gun. Any site that knows what it's doing will tell him to put it back in the bag and play with something else, lock it to semi (which I doubt he can do), or go home. I'd strongly suggest not thinking or talking about fps, because the question then always becomes "using what weight of BB?" You want to be thinking in Joules, using the weight of ammo that you're going to be using. I honestly couldn't tell you what fps any of my guns are shooting at, because I only ever look at the Joules number on my chrono (set to the weight of BB that I'm using), and any half decent site will be doing the same. 0.2g is fine for indoors, but outdoors you want the heaviest BB that your hop unit can lift, and your wallet can stand. For a full auto / burst mode gun, I find 0.28g is a decent compromise of price vs performance. Heavier is just fine, if your hop can lift it. You're fine to use 11.1V in your gun. If the retailer says otherwise then they're looking for an excuse to void the warranty. But if that's what they want to do, they'll do it whatever you use, or say you used. If you experience overspin and double-shooting on semi (you pull the trigger once, the gun shoots twice) then you can use the active-brake or pre-cock settings on your ASTER to fix that. You've bought a perfectly decent gun, and it'll do you proud if you feed and treat it well. As above, clean the barrel (YouTube has plenty of guides), give it 0.25g or heavier, and get the hop dialled in (again, YouTube will help, or ask here). Your ASTER is great, it's worth the time figuring out its features. But none of that matters, as long as you're having fun in game. Plenty of us have a blast using the cheapest CYMAs, shotguns, revolvers and such. Airsoft isn't about having the bestest top-tier laser-beast gun, it's about the experience of taking and making hits with whatever you have to hand. Your gun will be as good as anything else out there, once you figure it out - you haven't wasted your money.

An attention seeking cock womble who brings nothing but bad publicity to the game. I refuse to play at any site which allows him to play there

Man's a complete knob.

Cheers, i was rather pleased with it....I have it as the background on my folding phone...matches the fold perfectly ?. Its amazing what you can do with mobile camera's.

I suspect he's making vids for posterity, so yeah - at least two cameras and possibly one on his aging father who can get his way round an airsoft field pretty quickly for a big fella. Next time you're in Akihabara @son of dan, look in some second hand shops for GoPro 5's and above - or any native similar ones. You won't get stiffed like you did here on eBay. Ther ewas an awesome looking second-hand camera shop on the walk from the station to the TamTam shop - on the left side of the road. Not sure if they'd do that kind of camera - but there would be other's I'm sure. Might make a nice day out with Jiji?

It's a good one. Take photos! You can also take the tourist boat around the lake, or do what we do and just sit by the lake shore and admire the view, with a haul from the nearby Lawson in hand (booze and chicken for me, cake for her.)

Start with a basic action camera, then learn what works for you. GoPro carries the name, and does have the right features and specs which come with the price to go with them Alternative action cameras are up to the job - all in recent years exceed the ‘quality’ of anything you would be showing them at - YouTube etc Old YouTube footage from 15 to 10 years ago which looks like it was filmed with a potato gets highlighted with much nostalgia value and You are dependant on the sensor and chip set. If you’re going in and out of buildings then the ‘better’ cameras will cope better with the change in light conditions - but anything current should cope in a reasonable time frame Most important is what you want to do with footage. Are you making a full film of all your awesome actions, telling the story of your day? Are you making a click bait kill cam video? Are you making training feedback footage to review what happened? Or do you just want to film some stuff and see what you get? The ‘best’ footage is of multiple angles - but means lots more editing. eg barrel cam - which mostly shows the ground and air, but gives shooting footage Reverse barrel cam - films you Sight cam - which gives zoomed in ground and air Head cam - which shows where you were looking, but can make people sick when you keep looking left, right etc, and will also show the tree or brick wall that you were hiding behind Body cam - similar to head cam without the left/right twitching but more bouncy (check the stablisation specs) Back cam - Strap a pole to your vest and mount a camera that films a 3rd person view Combine a few of those and you can edit a story - for the extra cost of multiple cameras and mounts plus edit time Alternatively forget all of those, get a generic action camera with case and an assortment of mounts. Try it in different positions and see what you get Note that a scope camera is ‘better’ when accompanied by another camera giving a wider view

Exactly that. I took my now, wife, for a birthday surprise to the south downs sporting club for her birthday. Two hours of clay pigeon shooting. It only took a couple of weeks for the bruises to fade...mine and hers! ?

Not as much as he thinks it is ????????

You are wise In case of future justification, Keep it in your back pocket that airsoft is a safe fun activity that bears little relation to real life despite the stitch counters But the wise man knows when to and when not to take ladies to gun related activities

This made me bust out laughing. It's hard to imagine this is serious... but I'm sure it is.

Now get to your room until you learn some respect ?

Thanks Captain Obvious.....? Problem is - most of my stuff is images to help with specific technical problems - or gun reviews etc. Once you delete those images, the posts lose their context and the next person that needs the same help won't be able to refer to those posts. 100mb creeps up very quickly - especially when you post a lot on here, even when you resize to try and keep the filesizes down. I periodically go through all my attachments, and I get a few MB back - so it's just about manageable for me - just annoying.

Both. Single viewpoint videos are dull as fuck. That said, it entirely depends on your budget. GoPro and RunCam are the obvious options but there's plenty of reasonable, cheap Chinese knock offs out there that will give you footage, albeit with the image stabilisation of a 5 year old GoPro.

As I understand it he has done that too. When he first started out filming he was loaned some filming equipment and failed to return it

Where are you finding it new in stock? These got discontinued a good while back so higher prices are justified...

?

many plastics are IR transparent, including acrylics I believe. Germanium blocks visible light, but I think that was a bit of a joke...

@son of dan Date idea - take your lady friend to 41px, floor B1, TamTam Hobby building in Akiba. It's north of the station. They've got a wicked shooting range there and they'll let you (and her) test fire anything they've got on display (which seems to be every airsoft gun in existence I think). I shot my first GBBR there and was immediately smitten. Then I saw the hairdryer to warm the mags back up...

Can you wear a pair of m4's to work to earn money? No. Can you wear a pair of 1911's to the shops to get food for the table? No. Will a pair of sniper rifles allow you to get to the washing machine to wash your filthy clothes? No. Be prepared to have a reply for when these questions get fired at you cause they will ??

You can tell this was built by a pro: Nice front sight, RIP gas system.

URGI shorty build
