A couple of additions. G&G FAR9 - basically a folding ARP9. It works with Classic Army midcaps which is a bonus. Other addition is the Well PPK20 Pro. It's basically the new Russian version of the PP-19. The Well version is pretty much all polymer so lightweight and the trigger response is really fast. Add to that an insane auto of about 25bb per sec makes for a pretty cool little AEG. If plastic isn't your thing then Arcturus are bringing out a metal receiver version some time this year. Oh and the ambi selector should be put on every AK from now on as it's a great idea.

If you are seriously considering using them, please have a long, hard think about WHY you want to use them. When you have done that, if you still want to use them, join the army. I have spent quite a bit of time messing around with serious pyro; no airsoft players should be allowed anywhere near a MK9.

Which he hasn't even shown pictures of 😂

For just £4.99 more you can have a new one with warranty (one in stock at time of posting)… https://a2supplies.co.uk/products/we-hi-power-browning-mk3-gas-blowback-pistol-black

The correct answer is no - as a general player you may not use P2 products Category P2 other pyrotechnic articles are pyrotechnic articles, other than fireworks and theatrical pyrotechnic articles, which are intended for handling or use only by persons with specialist knowledge. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/1553/schedules/made#:~:text=Category P2 other pyrotechnic articles,by persons with specialist knowledge. Use as SFX by suitable persons under suitable circumstances can happen - but certainly not generally thrown around at a game A team mate had a ‘faulty’ Mk5 detonate immediately on striking, due to factory contamination * of the fuses & payload Luckily his glove ended up as the only casualty Pyrotechnics are explosives * Small print for those who know who we are - this was not one of our sponsors products

Depends on the driver's torque. Often chuckle when I see a householders DIY tools compared to some of the toys we tradesmen invest in. Pretty sure my driver has a more effective hammer action than my brother's Ikea drill. 😁

Never heard of them but tbh you'll be hard pressed to find a site that allows players to lob mk9 thunderflashes around. Mk5 is the limit at every site I know of

Agree with the above ^ BUT get a good set from a known brand otherwise you may end up with two bits of metal to extract 😁 (I'd go for THESE) Put some oil on it and leave for a couple of hours. As the aboves... A slightly larger Torx head or flathead A flathead screwdriver on the side and tap gently but fast with a small hammer. (Counter clockwise of course)

I cant quite make it out but if it's a Torx, you could try the next size up and hammer it into the head. Or get a flat head screwdriver thats the ssme width as the outer part of the points. Or use a small punch and drift it around.

Asked my wife if she'd do karaoke with me. She wouldn't duet...

Yep. Vector Optics Mustang.

I pulled a nose hair today to see if it hurt. Well, judging by the reaction of the guy sleeping next to me on the bus, I'm thinking fuck yes!!

I was digging in our garden and found a chest full of gold coins. Surprised and excited I wanted to run straight home to tell my wife about it. Then I remembered why I was digging in our garden.

So after lets just call it at least a decade away I finally feel that I'm back, so I thought it'd be interesting to share my journey as attempt to get my head around the changes in tech & re-develop my loadout to match my play style which hasn't changed in the meantime. First off, I'd forgotten just how much I'd missed this both mentally and physically. I've been laid up in and out of hospital the last few years - to the extent that I've gone from superfit to completely broken. I finally found something which I could actually do without landing me back in A&E last October & thanks to a push from my wife - I tried out a game at my local airsoft site. I sold up pretty much everything (it was around the time of the in-fighting over setting up UKARA - alongside some horrible personal issues that was the final straw). So I had my old ICS552, my custom WA S&W 1911, my 8mm Redhawk & a battered CYMA M3 rip off. Despite the WA utterly failing in the cold weather, the SIG shedding parts & developing the fire selection switch developing the attitude of a teenager I had a whale of a time. Finally picked up my PASS & the intervening time let me try out the modern "toys" and get my head around what I enjoyed. I've never been a kit nerd when it comes to fiddling/upgrading or to achieving a particular loadout "style". Instead I've always ended up picking out what for me is the "best of breed" in terms of what does what I need it to, hence you could politely describe my look as that of a scruffy mercenary - as opposed to that of someone as likely to sell you a big issue as shoot you. I did get an ego boost from being described as a "Ukrainian nutter" though So in terms of clothing/webbing I just go with what is comfy. At the moment its a pair of yard boots (closest thing to trainers in terms of comfort), an old pair of combats, norge, appropriate layers & a russian OMON style vest. Its light, room for 3 spare M4 style mags, shotgun shells, 2 blank firing grenades & some high energy shack items. I then go with a belt running two bianchi holsters & spare revolver shells/pistol mags. Its nice to be able to dump the belt at the safe zone or go down to one sidearm without having to reconfigure everything. So my general "normal" loadout now is as follows ... SA-15 Edge - Batteries have moved on! Being able to fit a single battery in the stock which is enough capacity for a full day's play is a revelation. Battery capacity was always a factor in the past - so its great to be able to pick something I love the feel of without worrying about having to change/carry a spare. Aside from the tight inner barrel I didn't think there was much point in going for anything gucci. My AEG has always been a tool first. Hops have come on - I remember the old TM hop with its tendancy to unwind randomly (I ran both an M4 & SR16 for a while) but this is easy to set how I want it - and it stays that way. I also hated M4 mags - partially a look & feel, partially having to spend so much time keeping them working & feeding. Very much a fan of the new S-Mag style, plus no feed issues with either hi or mid caps. 3 spare mags in the OMON vest. Shotgun - a reliable backup and sometimes main for CQB/thicker woodland. I love tri-barrel shotguns. I sold my modded M3 when I quit - so I picked up a BO Fabarms one to replace the battered CMYA one. Its similar size & weight but definitely has more poke & consistency just like my old TM but at way less than half the price. Will run as a spare as looking to get hold of a Secutor one as its even smaller & looks sexier (sorry). I figure it'll be even easier to carry slung on my back but for the moment, for the money I'm liking this a lot. Spare shells in the sling which goes over my vest so she sits on my back. If I'm ditching the AEG then even more shells in the vest on the shell loops - saves having to take time out reloading in the safe zone TTI JW 4 - GBB's are so much improved. And I say that as someone who loved them. This has now replaced my beloved WA 1911 and I can't believe I've gone back to a double stack 2011. I tried lots but when I picked her up something clicked. The hop/takedown are quick, mags suffer less cooldown and in terms of range once I got the hop set - well she's perfect for pulling out and "going light" with a BFG or two. Very much feels like one of the old WA Inifinities - after I'd spent a fortune on metal gubbins, internals etc. but better - out of the box FFS! Pair of spare mags in an old mil-tec twin mag pouch on the belt (will be replacing soon as its knackered), gun sits in a Bianchi M84 on the belt. Lovely - you can keep your new fangled plastic holster things Marushin 8MM Redhawk - yes she's an antique but with a thorough clean and lube she's fine. Fill valve needs a strip and bit of plumber's tape every few months but in winter - on red - she's up to her old tricks. There is something so pure about considered shots with a 6 shot shell loader ... it honestly feels amazing. Pair of .44 magnum speedloaders on belt, she sits in a Bianchi Cyclone holster. When she gives up the ghost .... who knows. Might have to look at a den wesson if only to be able to keep my love of using nothing but a revolver & speedloaders in game occasionally Oh, and if anyone knows a source of 8mm BB's that's be great, although I'm down to my last 700 they should last a few years as I tend to only get through a dozen every skirmish. So that's where I'm at. It kinda feels comfy - like a modern upgrade of the kit "style" I know and love. When the weather warms up a bit I'll start venturing further afield - heard great things about the "x" site in Mold. Much prefer sneaky, muddy bog snorkelling/woodland play rather than speedball - although in building CQB does lead to me making disturbing sounds as I play. Airsoft is definitely more popular. the kit better, the choice in the UK so much wider (anyone else remember the says of WGC shop/Den trinity importing *everything*). People messing around with Western Arms kit - endlessly upgrading/fixing seems to have been replaced by a different bunch of people endlessly upgrading/fixing HPA guns - but I'm really enjoying getting back into this

Isn't that the same gun as a someone here thinks is a Specna Arms and is getting real salty about being called out for it?

I'm going to take a guess and say that you might have got an adapter wired up for RC cars, which will be reversed. I've had them myself, but caught it beforehand luckily, and seen plenty of people caught out by this. IIRC, the larger sized contact on the deans should go to the round contact on the mini Tamiya. Can you post a photo to confirm? Also, put the affected batteries outside somewhere safe! I believe the correct protocol is to cut off the contacts (one wire at a time) and then put it in a bucket of saltwater, but others can confirm.

Old school ish build ( WE GBB base ) shoots well too which is a bonus 😂

Scar SSR ?

is it possible to get p2 products like the MK9 thunderflash for use in airsoft games? i see them sold that way often but also with extensive mention of them being p2 products, was wondering if anyone does or has used them, or if its even possible to actually get them and how someone would
