By the same logic, does that mean that if you s**t yourself, you've got skid "M-Ks"?

What is it with at least 50% of You tubers who insist on calling a MK23 (i.e. 'Mark23') pistol an 'M' 'K' 23?!! It makes me cringe every time! Am I being irrationally intolerant? Probably, but I can't help it - I just want to throw stuff at the screen when they do it, and once you've heard them say it the first time, you can't then unhear it for the next 40 times they mention it in the course of the video.... And don't even get me started on the ' Em Kay 18' rifle!

Prayers are answered now, the fully modified ARP9 is down to £950. Maybe now we can sleep a little easier

Apparently next week it will be constant rane,hale,thundre,litnin and frizzing colde. Really bad spell of weather.

Ah yes. The days when we all wore surplus DPM, Western Arms made the best pistols (especially when tuned by Matt Dean) and Airsoft Dynamics were still trading.

100%. And also the four Christian evangelists are famously only ever referred to as being Matthew, M-K, Luke, and John!

I think rocketdogbert had the arse, understandably, about the spam situation making the forum unusable, plus the bickering that was going on mainly due to one members narrow views, meant he decided to take a break. I do hope he comes back, he was one of the core members that always had valid points to input thanks to years of experience. If I remember rightly, he'd also taken a break from skirmishes, focusing more on target shooting at his local gun club in Essex ?

Is there anything you don't like about the viper vx gear? If not then why not get a new set? My recommendation for chest rigs is always the SADF M83 chest rig. I'm no way a big guy and mine fits my skinny body with more room for adjustment. Lastly and mostly only because nobody else has posted it, there's always this😁 https://www.evike.com/products/31263/

I'll be honest this is looking very much like the airsoft equivalent of Fyre festival . Just from a numbers point of view . You need 1000 paying players just to get the primary prize money from admissions and that's without taking into account the rest of the event costs which for something of this size would be substantial. The website gives no real detail but just one line bullet points of the week. The website also shows a fire service presence on site for the week which i am highly dubious of having worked with blue light services for various events and organisations. No information on the people running the event or even their identity , no limited company registered that i can find , no indication that the amount of interest is actaully there to make the event viable at this stage. I do not envy the organisers trying to get this started and appreciate the effort it takes to get this kind of event set up . However without anything more solid I just don't see it as viable. I am surprised at some of the "sponsors" of this event as if it does turn out to be a fyre festival type affair there are some big, well trusted names that would need to ask themselves some very serious questions down the line

Well, compared to last year, the Spam is being dealt with much quicker. Previously, we were reliant on the legacy admin/mods to clean up the spam which made the forum unusable at points. Since the appointment of Spam Moderators, the Spam has been dealt with in minutes rather than hours. I think there is more that can be done (hence starting this thread) but we are still in a better place than 12 months ago. I believe 4 spam mods were originally appointed: @Tackle, @RostokMcSpoons, myself and Rocketdogbert (who no longer seems to be a forum member? Anybody know happened there?)

I've barely ever heard anyone in a video pronounce Salomon correctly. The one that really gets me (and this has been going on for at least 10 years) is the blatant global lie that is the use of the word polymer to somehow mean something different to plastic. 'Oh this is polymer, not just plastic'... get fucked.

I have a court order which is 'stalker' related, not sure if it's transferable tho.

Phew! Finally, it is at a decent price!

I had some lovely WA's😪 It's the only rifle I would consider using apart from maybe a ghk G5 with the current G5 mags. They just work. Feed em black gas in extreme cold and your good to go. Same with most the newer tm gbbp's. Mainly went with the mws for it's reputation and old school aesthetic. Got 20rnd mags for it too now.

They probably got fed up of people asking to fix their grach 😅😂

If it’s not cross by now, it’s at least very disappointed, which , as we all know, is worse! I’ll get me coat

Well my Mum is actually "Chief Inspector of Words", She's done 5 operational tours of Oxford, and was "Head Wizard of Lightbulb Moments" at the Dictionary Factory and she says its Kaburn, so..... 🤷‍♂️

Oh you mean reess and kaburn?

Super impressed by Orga and Japanese post. Ordered something like... a week ago, it was sent on the 6th and Parcelforce already attempted to deliver it yesterday (10th). And by attempt to deliver, I mean they shoved a card through my door without knocking. Getting them to redeliver it to my local post office so I'll have my VSR widebore barrel ready for this Sunday's skirmish!

I work alot of night shifts and I've noticed the majority of spam appears in the early morning so if another spam mod is needed I'll happily volunteer

Just to note - we don't get those reports. Everything that we Spam Mods clean up is as a result of regularly checking the forums throughout the day. The reports go to the 'proper' moderators.

Group shot of the Marui MP5 NGRS collection. Gots the A4, A5, SD6 and put together an SD5 (made from a next Gen A4 and SD6). Other Mp5 is kitted out with Magpul stuff. Finally done buying these things. 😂 edit: vfc flashlight handguard had a slight front/back play which is annoying as the hole for the pin is oblong-ish. I removed the two strips of plastic to allow for battery space for mounting it on the A5. I cut a small piece from those plastic pieces and glued it at the back of the rear tab (which hook into the upper receiver). No more front-rear play anymore. No creaking. I now use the stock push pin instead of the locking pin that came with my Magpul SL handguard for the mp5.

The trouble with plate carriers is that they don't conform to a womans shape or some men for that matter. Kids sizes might work for you, but the buckle up system has a load of adjustment, more than most I've seen. That looks really cool. I might have a look at that for me !

Because all airsoft youtubers are total wankpuffins who should have been strangled at birth .

Yes & no, fets, sound generators, tracers, smoke generators, various options for recoil, hpa, wanker guns, the list is seemingly endless. Or, you could run a bog standard aeg with technology more than 25 years old, & still dominate the battlefield. Works for me 😁 (sometimes lol😏)

Still got all my WA pistol's, several have been blessed by St. Matt

Welcome to the respawn

I'm 55 going on 56 (que a sound of music meme), & I can honestly say I've NEVER been told this before.

Freezer trick and hot water have not worked. unfortunately patience is not my virtue, despite numerous swear words, boils of the kettle and even asking nicely I cannot get it to budge so it will be a forgotten idea, and I will be sticking with the compensator. thanks for all the help everyone!

It might be out of the Land Warrior warranty but if they're a proper dealer then they can liaise with Umarex as any 12 month warranty would be with them rather than LWA. Standard procedure for a lot of consumer goods. Would be good to know what this mysterious product is though.

No, See Burn....

Kinky git😘 Agree, if your viper rig has served you well & ticked all the boxes so far, the maybe just look at other colour variants, it's like the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" ? As you've admitted, sizing for kit is a problem, you'll be going down the virtual endless rabbit hole trying to find the holy grail of load carrying kit, some of us have been at it for decades & still not 100% convinced with what we're using, especially if your running multiple gun/mag platforms.

Oooh, pwetty…

Then get the one you like the look of. All the guns in each range are pretty much the same internally. The differences are cosmetic. Obviously a SBR will have a shorter inner barrel than a full size rifle but afaik that's the only difference.

You have to look at the specs. The 'EDGE 2' is generally recommended here

Previously seen these go for £300-£400, usually with only 2 or 3 mags though, maybe that'll ease the pain a wee bit ?

It's easier if the delivery man turns up when she's out, is my take on the matter 😋

Clearly Mk. was abbreviated not for speaking but for writing, or stamping perhaps. DNA is abbreviated for both I'd hazard and so no one has to pronounce it. People say e t c. L o l. and allsorts nowadays...

Technically MK is only an abbreviation for Mark. It is not an acronym because "MK" does not read as a word unlike RADAR which does.

Yes, it's changed and not all for the worse. Speedsoft and the gear for speedsoft (HPA, masks etc) have become much more popular. Rifs have evolved with some tech and the brands generally seem better. The snobbish elitism of milsim seems to have reduced, (a lot of "milsim" people now seem to like structured skirmishes) as has the reverse snobbism. The people playing are people who haven't been watching the gwot/Afghanistan/iraq on the news or war movies, they have more experience with cod and Fortnite so the guns, gear etc are more that way inclined. The whole impression scene seems to have gone (with the odd exception) but it's been replaced with speedsofters and people who just want stuff that works and that seems to be very disperate. At my last skirmish I regularly came up against the same player, he was using speedsofter type stuff and he was very good, getting the better of me several times. Made the day a bit more challenging etc but he could have worn anything and he'd have been good. I'd like to see more specialist events (ruleset wise) Defiant Airsoft seem to be doing that, gunman are to a degree.

Asks the man considering HPAing a TM pistol 😄. Short answer no, long answer hell no. Bring back the world of nicads and the only 2 aeg options were TM or classic army. Ok maybe there's some good stuff that's come to light in more recent years but it ain't all good.

Been playing for 24 years now there has been some major improvements if you want to modify your gun, but the QC is still spotty as hell and TM is still the only really reliable brand. However in the end if you actually know how to set a hop unit you can still be competitive with stock JG G36.

Yes, banned after being flagged up earlier.

Got a photo finally:

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