She's already told me that she is going back on her first day off and using my gear! Lol

Or as 'Billy' said... copper wire was invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny.

Pointless weight? YES PLEASE! (I bought an Elcan, and managed to get a decent chunk of change off the price thanks to an eBay promo! Variable zoom version too!)

Welcome to the site. Please do give your local site a try; I am 60 and still play at least twice a month and know a couple of even more ancient players. It is a great hobby. As you are probably aware, in order for a seller to sell you a RIF (ie: a gun that is not two-toned) you need to demonstrate to them that you are going to use it for a legitimate purpose; the most common way of doing this is by getting a UKARA registration. You can do this by playing a minimum of three times in no less than 56 days at the same site; they can then put you on the UKARA database and might charge you a "membership fee" for the privilege.

They're definitely not. This is part of the IWM display of counter terrorism stuff.

It's the what was available and won't break the bank on Amazon version. Tbh I've never seen the point in spending silly money on clothing which is only really used for dicking about in the woods one day a month. Only just realised how dodgy that looks, especially with the guy on the left looking like he's asking wtf I'm doing 😂😂😂

Tru-Spec and Propper used to fade after barely 3-4 washes.

I've been lurking around reading the threads on the forum with interest. I'm pushing retirement these days but in a previous life carried and shot many different types of real weapon systems/firearms and now am thinking of using RIF's as wall hangers in my study. Deacts are expensive these days and the legislation grows tighter by the year. I like the GBB pistols and rifles that are available as you can actually shoot a few targets in the back garden without upsetting too many people and have a bit of in the shoulder recoil. The ability to go full auto is a nice feature too.... Looking to pick up a M4 to begin with and may (if my knees, ankles, back and shoulders allow) nip down to my local skirmish site. Jim

Maybe he's having a medical issue and can only reach the 1 on his keyboard

Well I don't know if it's true but I heard that a Scotsman ended up in hospital after dropping a pound coin off the top of the Blackpool tower. Apparently he ran down the stairs to the bottom and it hit him on the head! 🤔😉

Wow! What an unfortunate accident to have, especially for a fellow Norgie wearer. I hope you make a more rapid recovery than predicted and get back to playing again in the new year. It seems that your lass has the right spirit!

Surefire is the way, think the real ones are limited space wise though.

Savage LOL

That’s exactly what is was, the colours are “clone correct”…I just let a toddler paint it 😂

Sorry to hear your story and I hope you recover quickly

I've gone back to standard LiPo. Any performance benefit they claim is slim at best, the chemistry of the cells doesn't lend itself to repeated short bursts either. The robustness is nice and the lack of self discharge is good but not worth the money they charge.

Welcome 🖐 Yeah, they are more fun than deacts for sure. You can play at the pace that suits you so its not all rushing around.

Did you buy one? Mucho jealous. I am waiting for the AK74 as frankly 6 AKMs is probably enough

Given NE record with new releases, I will wait till the kinks are all ironed out....

Sounds awful! Hope you get better soon, and it hasn't put your lass off. 8 hours is terrible by any standard let alone another 10.

Best wishes for your recovery and I hope you can get back up and on your feet soon!

I owned and upgraded the TM variant A chum did the same to the ASG version so as we could compare back to back The TM does feel nicer in the hand and the trigger does feel much smoother as @Impulse mentioned above. My TM did shoot marginally further (like 5m) but for some reason with better accuracy. The TM mags are a pain in the ass to fix when they start to leak, which ultimately was the reason I got rid of mine I had 4 mags, of which I could only keep 2 running properly. But the other reason I got the TM was for the Lam and it’s nice little case Plus the fact that when I was inevitably going to sell it on, I knew it would hold its value better and return me a higher % of my outlay costs than the ASG version would Every penny is a prisoner to a tight Scotsman 😉

@Wavey_Gravey i definitely recognise the bio hazard camo optic

I wish you good luck. You're gonna need it. 🤣

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/jing-gong-auga3-w-couple-attachments_i54116 Micro red dot has a scratch on it "but even though it's a premium listing, you have to message me for more pictures to find out of it's a scratch you'd see a tiny diamond make on glass or if it's what Monty Python's Black Knight says 'tis but a scratch"

Fuck me, are you jump starting your truck from your pew as well? 😄

So there's another squad member whose just had his pistol grip half inched, and is running around Iraq like a speedyboi speedsoft wanker.

Thinking about building one of these again:

Thank you for your response. Very helpful.

From what I've seen, a pretty good portion of all the TS uniforms floating around in the world are either all-cotton or more budget PYCO fabric and they tend to go fairly white after a good bit of use/washes; at least the TSP and Rothco stuff that's been around a while, not sure about the likes of emerson and ilk.

I only have the TM & it's a wall hanger but it comes with the LAM & that's why I bought it.

What version of Tigerstripe is it? Bloody ropey looking urinals too.

Special Ops are going to have one more skirmish (Dec 2) and will then go on hiatus as Carlos builds up his new CQB site (which he hopes to open early Feb) ... so I might well feel the need for a new site to visit. South Herts sounds like a good stop-gap Good day on Sunday... well not personally I got killed a little too often, I didn't get many clean or memorable kills, and my left knee occasionally hurts like a bastard, as I exacerbated a football injury. But it ended better than it started... the last couple of games played in twilight (and then almost total darkness) were really quite fun! Here's Dan and me before we got muddy (Quite pleased with my gun's camo paint - a video I watched recently said the most important thing was to camo the gun against your own kit. The colours might be more urban / desert than originally intended, but the overall effect still works well against my multicam)

£200 for "lovely" red https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/double-bell-mk-12_i53996 or just £170 for as it should be https://extremeairsoft.co.uk/product/double-bell-m16-spr-mod2-dmr-full-metal-cnc/

Spent a good deal of time recently converting my A&K Mk43 Mod 0 into a Mod 1 by installing a new railed top cover, railed front handguard and M60 birdcage flash hider. None of the parts fit without modification so it was quite painful! Still, pleased with how it's looking. It's not quite done yet, I'd quite like to change the finish of the receiver, barrel and gas tube to be a darker grey or black. And an authentic Mod 1 style top cover would be fantastic, if only anyone had ever made an airsoft version!

Why would you get rid of this and buy an mtw? It's nearly identical externally and internally. You're gonna sell it with a loss and spending 700 quid on a new mtw? Just asking. I'd say 60-70% of the total value you spent on this build. Just be aware that people are skint so there is a chance you have to lower your price even further in the near future if you can't get rid of it.

I picked up a red dot sight, off here, and decided to design and 3d print a protector. 1st prototype looks cool enough but cutting the acrylic sheet round and then fitting it into the holder was too much. So . . Prototype mk2 Happy with that one. Printed quickly in PLA so I'll get some better fillament, maybe ABS, and print it properly. Designed in Tinkercad, sliced in Prusaslicer, printed on an Anycubic Kobra.

Ask an airsofter that looks friendly about their gun, even if you think it looks like shite. No doubt they'd love to chat about it, and then you're already a foot in the door!

That's my pet hate too, I hate it when I've got someone screaming in my face "COME ON PUSH UP, GET MOVING, MAKE SOME EFFORT YOU USELESS TUB OF LARD" I hate Saturday nights with the missus😭

Sorry guys, I should have made it clear. I've written the gun off as a loss to be honest. I was just giving an update on the situation and keeping it on topic at the same time. Unfortunately for her, now that I've got no other distractions I'm completely focused on getting my son back into my care and safety.

as above I’d say get your priority’s straight and concentrate on the real life stuff rather than worrying about your toys for the moment .

Dude, forget the mws, concentrate on your kid. Hope it works out.

To be honest, it sounds like you're well shot of her. I hope you get your rifle (and anything else she may have taken) back.

Wow, @DrFumbles, firstly thank you for sharing that, can't have been easy, but it does put a whole new context on the situation. The fact that you have her demands on text etc, plus the fact you have previously discussed this with your gp & other healthcare professionals is a massive positive, you can take this information to the police, in fact there's nothing to say that your not entitled to insist they take action against her in regards to "controlling & coercion", which could have numerous outcomes, possibly giving you an opportunity to return to the property under escort to retrieve what's rightfully yours (to that end I would consider putting together a list of everything that is solely yours, jointly owned items may not be touched at this time without shit kicking off). Allowing the police to act may also convince her to release your stuff, as a start to show contrition for her previous behaviour, something any legal representation would advise her to do as cooperation goes a long way if done in the early stages before cps decide on charges. As for you contributing to the break up by essentially keeping a confidential "diary" within secure email drafts, NO FUCKING WAY IS THAT ON YOU, it just highlights the extent she was going to in order to maintain control, & is another fact that supports your case for the police to act. Good luck mate.

Really good idea. I didn't call the police to inform them because even though that sounds like a good idea, you know how the police is and if you mention anything related to a gun they'd probably start panicking and send a unit just in case. I'll just do this and tell my closest neighbours either side of my house.
