Can you hear a quiet hissing? 🤣

The result of a couple of purchases. WE M9 v2 and Compensator (Yes it would be better with trades and correct grip) Can you guess the film? 😁 As used in:

As above by everyone on the original answers and the recent resurgence: Foxes are vermin and can legally be killed - under suitable circumstances Scaring them with a noise will just give them the incentive to avoid you Shooting them without the intent of a clean & humane kill would be animal cruelty Members of this forum would not endorse the inappropriate use of airsoft guns, animal cruelty nor activities that would put the game into disrepute. Killing a fox only stops that one coming, other foxes and other wildlife will discover whatever the fox came for

Damn, CF just outed himself as having a lil rif! Meanwhile...

@Lozart I'll be doing a special next couple of days for anyone who wants to try this 1st batch. Here's a video of the internal polishing: https://youtu.be/gn1D-U8tJzM The bore size is comparable to ZCI but with a much higher polishing finish on the inside.

Christmas game and a MP5? Perfect for a John McClaine loadout

(The scope is the replacement flashlight) Ill get some better photos soon

No real reason for this post, other than to show off my CYMA Blue MP5. Im a very, very happy boy. 🥰

Sort of already started, birthdays Xmas eve so the missus has just bought me the cyma vss that popped up on here earlier, always fancied trying one as it's one of the few soviet bits of kit I like the look of. 🤔

My locals seem to be consistent with: Under 18 = full face covered, which can be separate eye and lower face protection, or a single piece full face mask. Under 16 = single piece full face mask only. It's entirely up to your local site(s) and their insurer(s) though. Something I'd flag up is that Amazon and eBay have a plethora of £20-ish full face masks being sold for airsoft use which then fess up in the details that they are not rated for even ~1.1J impacts. I'd stick to actual paintball brand-names like Dye or Valken when buying a mask.

128, 200, 229, 260, 285, 300, 363, 380, 407, 430, 450, 470 and 500

put some silicone grease on it🤣

a GBB full metal spas 12

I have reason to believe a gas shottie may be under the tree 😁

Mmm, the 51X series work OK, but the plastic is made of recycled Battlefield Earth action figures. One to keep in the bottom of the bag as a backup-backup-backup-backup gun.

Handy they were formed after the war, eh?

Very. But in two weeks we have our annual christmas game, so I get to run about looking like a fool win an mp5. That'll more than make up for it 😁

No need for kink shaming, there's far weirder stuff online I told the mrs I need a new gun bag and a couple of days later a suspiciously similar shaped amazon parcel arrived so I think she listened

This bit of ‘door monitor’ that I’ve referred to referred to wouldn’t be door supervision that is entirely under the scope of the act, with a relevant level of control of the public but a level below stewards on pointing towards a direction etc. SIA licenced cover would be handling controlled access, bag checks & any issues There are occasions where I would say that particular organisers were very much veering towards legal problems

😐

A cold and dry day at Spec Ops, had a few tech issues in the morning that put a bit of the dampeners on things as well some people complaining about the play style of regulars (removing plate carriers and running at objectives unarmed). Solution from the marshalls was to require a weapon to be carried at all times. Said complainers could have just got the younger fitter members of their team to do the same as ours if it mattered that much - or just run yourself you lazy HPA Wankers LOL. I seemed to spend more time walking back to respawn than I did in the game zone too which got a little tedious. Hey ho. Afternoon picked up though with some fun games based largely on attacking and defending. One painful highlight was when we were attacking the tented village and there were 3 or 4 younglings hiding in a tent being covered by a HPA DMR in another tent. Muggings here did a charge down the flank of the tent where there were windows - managing to take out 2 or 3 of the little 'uns on the way through. Scuppering the DMR by accidentally on purpose tripping over a log which sent me flying through the air and crashing to the ground by the entrance of said tent. Where there happened to be one more youngling - not expecting someone my size to go from window height to ground level that quickly 🤣. I like to think I went down with some style, as I managed to get a few shots into the lad trading the kill just as the DMR guy resighted me. VIP game was a fun one which was won in the last 60 seconds by yeeting a smoke into the target area and then making a sacrificial run in the opposite direction. Which surprisingly, didn't end up with me being shot; but did allow our final sprinter to get into the destination. It was the culmination of a long push through killhouses driving the blues back towards their respawn. They were rather cheeky in the box domination game; by tying their bands to the handles of the boxes instead of just wrapping them round1, but there were some good gun battles to be had trying to get to each box that was being covered. It seemed my day was spent largely battling two of the HPA guys - getting the DMR in the neck by sneaking up on him and catching him by surprise as he was concentrating on taking out our guys attacking Ping Ping City. His mate on the other hand was very good at doing the same thing to me - he and I have form over the last few years plinking each other across the site more often than not just out of range of each other. Nice to see the regulars too. I'm volunteering to help with the new site next weekend; then that's it - I'm fecking off for three or four weeks. Hopefully ill have time to fettle the pews a bit before resuming service in the New Year. @Gunboat Diplomat according to my Samsung Watch I managed to run/jog 9 and a bit miles 😜 A lot of those were walking back to the Canadian flag though. Not the coldest day I've played - that was last year at AWA which was -6; btu we started at -3 and I don't think it got above 1 for the whole day. Was good fun shooting the hoar frost from the trees though.

Isn't using stock photos in sales threads against forum rules?

This times infinity. While you might save a few quid if they fail you could loose alot more. The same goes for second hand face protection, it may be a reputable brand but you don't know the history of it so could already be damaged even if they appear fine

Well, it's a tech thread. As above, first get a chrono so you know what energy - and variation - you currently have. Otherwise you'll have no idea whether anything you swap in is an upgrade, sidegrade, or downgrade.

Ive had one since like 2019. Barrel is the same. This is just an updated version. Only thing I see different is the buffer tube instead of the collapsible stock, and mlok instead of keymod. My Black Cherry for reference, featuring my friends tactical cat ears 😂

It should have a quick-change spring system so it should be easy to swap it without opening your gearbox but what is specifically wrong with your SA-H22's spring or your gun's performance that you deem it worth upgrading? Is its energy level so low that it's not competitive?

Nothing because I wasted way too much money in this year on airsoft. But in the future I'd like to grab that new Marui SBS.

I thought it was the plastic tray from chocolate boxes. It's a shame really as the internals are great which reminds me I really should get round to pulling the gearbox out of my old one to put in the PDW

Honestly difference is that we care more if rifs get outlawed/harder or more expensive to obtain than cosplayers. Rifs are just the final 1%of the costume for them but the entire sport for us. So they will do whatever without and consideration of what the outcome could be for everyone else if it goes wrong.

Hmm, I seem to recall that nimh AEP batteries aren't an exact fit in some AEP-based SMGs, but I don't recall the details. Reviews say they work in Mac10s and Škorpions so I'd be optimistic. Lipo does transform AEP response and ROF. Glue or tape the end cap on though!

Almost certainly the cold.

Fair enough, I've only ever been to the London one and the security are pretty switched on at ExCel.

If the heron does become a problem you could try a fine mesh or net over the pond, or alternatively a decoy falcon or owl to scare it away

So more of a customer service role rather than access control or security. That makes more sense

I always have an anchor magnet on 100' of rope in my van. It has saved hours of time and swearing over the years. Dragged across the lad's bedroom floor it found the Glock 18 selector spring in minutes. He'd spent hours looking for the thing before confessing that he'd forgotten to open it up inside a see through plastic bag. Here's similar, think mine may be a bit stronger. Take your watch off when using mind! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neodymium-Fishing-Combination-Suitable-Hoisting/dp/B0C69B51YG/ref=asc_df_B0C69B51YG/

I've seen Ventile stuff before. Never imagined that it would be breathable enough for airsoft. Cheers Jim! If anyone is wondering if expensive wet weather gear is worth it, my Barbour leggings were bought in about 1998 and are still 100% OK even after a few years of daily dispatch riding through the winter.

UK army boots in 9S. They rarely come up, so I always hope that someone has found a pair for me. Mrs TPH has some new facepro and hard knuckle gloves. Lad has new 90s desert loadout from tshirt to load carrying kit.

The CEO of ACME ladders is retiring. He's stepping down next month.

I’m hopeful that Santa takes the hint and I get a Helicon-Tex Swagman Roll in DNC / Choc-chip 🤞

If Santa wins the bloody euro millions tomorrow night, then most of the VFC GBB catalogue will be winging it's way to sunny Milton Keynes! He could stuff a sniper rifle into a very long stocking too... The new Novritsch L96 V2 would be good

Before the boneyard opened up on the site, Paul had posted pics on Facebook... I'd spotted a TM HK416D NGRS and thought I might have a go for that. And then I found out the mags are proprietary, and that put me off. And when it showed up it was £350, just a bit too much to tempt me. So the G3 got the love on the rebound 😋😘😄 Still wish I'd got the Galil, but buying anything was silly really, I've packed everything into the loft except for the guns that need fixing / selling! It is a handsome gat though...

Pics of your mates mum please, that's the only way we can give you the best answer

They had so much stuff didn't they... but after scanning it all not a single thing floated my boat, there must be something wrong with me (plus a little bit of me is keeping a few pennies safe in case @ak2m4 sells his brushless motors).

Time to get these sold, pop them in the classified & I'll see if I can help with ths dilema.

Likely the final game of the year for us. Skirmish time has been a bit curtailed recently, but happily we made it out for a morning session at Spec Ops MK. The boy was most excited to try out his recently acquired Golden Eagle HiCapa. This is our first experience of anything gas powered, but I pre-warned him that with sub-zero temperatures and green gas he should set his expectations pretty low. That said, his pistol chrono'd at 280ish on 0.2s reasonably consistently. He got a couple of kills with it during the day so was pretty happy. Slight issue with the mag venting unexpectedly from time to time so I'll have to look into that (assuming it wasn't just the cold). My Double Eagle 906C continues to be ever reliable, though it's only doing about 0.77 joules on 0.28s so I think a spring change is due. My memory of the games is already fading, but highlights for me were getting my first 'knife-kill' whilst clearing the central compound and some optimistic but poorly executed attempts to rush objectives (until I was too knackered to run back from respawn anymore). Getting right in with close engagements and sweeping through villages and compounds has become my favourite way to play (on the rare occasions I can get that close and I'm not too knackered to move fast enough) so I'm very much looking forward to the new indoor CQB site. And also being sheltered from shit weather. Had my Apple watch on this game, so a picture probably tells a thousand words about my day in this case:

Impulse purchase ahoy. Thanks very much Paul @ Action Hobbies for tempting me into yet another toy I don't need! JG G3, set up as DMR, so semi-auto only. I was worried when I found it was all-plastic, but those fears were unfounded tbh, it is very solidly put together. The motor turns over reasonably nicely on the stick 7.4v LiPo that fits easily in the foregrip. It was upgraded at Combat South apparently, and they rewired to Deans already, which saves me some ham-fisted soldering A few test shots down the garden proved it shoots nicely. Chrono'd at 320fps with 0.28g BBs so it's not exactly breathing fire. I guess I won't know how good it'll work on the field for a while now, but I'll be tempted to stick in a weaker spring so I can get rid of the DMR's MED and just play it as a normal gat. The little RIS rail .... hmmm, how am I supposed to fit a scope on there? I guess I need some sort of cantilever mount? I like the HK iron sights, so maybe it'll stay as it is. It feels damned cool though!

I'm not entirely sure where to begin, so I'll start with the biggest obstacle you've got here; This is illegal and cruel. You can't get a section 5 FAC to shoot foxes with .22 rimfire, needs to be minimum .223 because wounding an animal is unacceptable, needs to be a clean kill if you're going to shoot one. Go down this route if you like, but it don't think it'll be effective. It'll also mean you're a massive cunt.

I'd advise against this, its not really responsible and may come under animal cruelty, especially with and air rifle because you wont kill it outright, just wound it and it could later die of those wounds. Are there not any fox repellants on the market?
