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😏)

Hello - for anyone who is old enough to remember me - I used to help run/play at Airsoft KGB down in Cornwall, as well as the occasional away day to Stirling or Sopley. You may remember me as the muppet called Blondie. I packed it all in around the time of the VCRA bill as it was no longer fun to be involved with (the owners of the neighbouring site - thankfully no longer in existence 0 calling the police to stir up trouble was just the tip of the iceberg) and I had just started a horrific period in my personal life which left me with PTSD. Anywaaaaaay that is all behind me now thankfully. I've had a rough few years health wise including almost dieing from sepsis (which has left me with some brain damage - not then anyone who knew me back them will notice) after developing ulcerative colitis but after discovering bouldering back in October last year my fitness has started to finally improve to the extent where after much nagging from my wife I pootled over to our nearest site. I wanted to see whether I could either scratch the itch which was airsoft and work out if I wanted to do it again. You can probably guess how that went! These days I go under the moniker of Fraggle (I've been told I resemble one on PCP when "in the zone".) I cannot believe the change in kit/popularity which has happened while I've been gone - wow! So much has improved in terms of the sheer variety and quality of what you can get in the UK. Gone are the days of importing stuff from WGC in Hong Kong. Being able to actually get what I want here, from my local site is pretty mindblowing. Being able to pick up BFG's so easily now is a lovely surprise - they used to be like rocking horse poo! Thankfully there's a wealth of information out there so you certainly want get any "WOT AM BEST GUN" or "WOT AM EXPLOD LIPO?" posts from me - although I have a few questions (not answered by search - I checked!) and looking forward to catching up on what's going on. Cheers! Fraggle.

Ah apologies I got lost in all the tickets and what connected to what sorry. I do wish you the best of luck and if nothing else I would love to see an alternative to the Airsoft AIDS that is the ground zero Weekender. I've just been around far too long and seen far too many of these schemes over the years to trust things on face value with very little info. If you pull this off I'll be super impressed

No it means you're men of taste

Yup, me too.

Are we going to get wound up about how people pronounce Recce and CBRN as well?

It took a while to get me back to the bunker. It was a collection of little things that put me off, lots of shouting, pushing the game too hard, marshals stripping people of any kind of stealth tactics by walking up behind them and shouting "move, move, come on lets push forward", which is all well and good until you're wielding a single pistol and there are 8 opposition players around the corner with rifles and lovely little camping areas, waiting to pepper the life out of you. It started to seem as though there was an element of clique-ness and there were becoming rumours that certain people were managing to skip chrono, resulting in hot RIFs on the field, which isn't particularly fun in such a close quarters environment. I might add that I'd never experienced a hit from anything that felt like a hot gun, and the chrono issue may have been only rumours, but with everything building a gloomy picture of the place I decided to take time away from it. I had an experience where I had a few duff flash-bangs from their onsite shop, not a big issue. I had a quick chat with one of the staff, to let them know more than anything, he decided it was much more appropriate to call me out in front of everyone, telling me I had no idea how to strike a fuse and that there was nothing wrong with them, despite the fact that they were all damp from storage. It irritated me, because I'd always recommended them as a site to visit, we'd played regularly on an almost weekly basis at one point. The flash-bang incident was the icing on the cake. Going in last night the atmosphere was much different, it was calm, the marshals were respectable, visible and in the right places at the right time, the briefing was prompt and to-the-point and the game play was well managed. I felt like the night was for the players, like it once used to be, really enjoyed myself. Even if you only go once, it's worth a game for sure. As for Valiant, that one is on my list of "places to visit". I did the Vendetta site in Gloucester and absolutely loved it, a number of our team have done Valiant already and they loved that too!

Why yes I enjoy ergonomics, how could you tell?

I've been going to the bunker semi-regularly for over a year. I like the site, it's quite unique and presents a good challenge, especially when navigating it and even more so when flash-bangs has filled the place with lingering smoke. I did stop going for a while because the atmosphere didn't fit what I liked, lots of cheating, lots of poor player attitude etc. I went again for the first time in some months, last night. They've shaken things up a bit, new leadership, some new game formats, new furnishings, new attitudes. I've got to say I really enjoyed it and will continue to attend The UCAP Bunker. It's reasonably priced, accessible, easy close parking, plenty of space for setup and challenging play.

Ah OK. Good to know

Also once you reach a certain level of amassing kit its easier to slip something new in without it being noticed. Meanwhile back on topic, my new boots have arrived. More specifically a pair of Haix German desert boots

Worth a look here: https://www.femmefataleairsoft.co.uk/search?q=plate+carrier The LBX 0300S seems to be a decent choice.

My go to recommendation to most people is a bulle mle platform, very light, very cheap (but not crap quality) very adjustable (my sons gf uses the m4 version with no issues & she's a proper hobbit🤣), but limited on colour options, od or tan I think ?

What is the product, and what is the problem with it?

If the spec is the same it's what you like the look of perhaps

I was going to take one of those viking river cruises advertised on the tv, then I learned you don't actually get to loot the towns and monasteries along the way

Ahhh... Rogue Spear. Those were the days. Preferred Raven Shield personally but yeah, good times.

'Ha hahahahahhahahah!'

I listen to way too much to list but this has been a recurring listen for a long time
