Well after that article I’m calling it “Japanese paintball” from now on . ?‍♂️

TM aircocking model with the aeg version stock added. Took a little tinkering. Why? Because I can.

Both my local sites were cancelled the last two game days. Both inaccessible and unsafe due to deadfall. As for bad weather kit, I like to use a tshirt and combats when I can. I do often take a camping shower and a stove and kettle. The drive home in clean gear and the smell of old Old Spice feels like luxury. I'd prefer Hai Karate but its damn hard to find these days.

Gunman Tuddenham filmsim on Saturday. Every time I use this chest rig I like it even more, don’t feel the need to tweak the way it’s set up at all. Ran the L119A1, had to fiddle the hop a little bit - potentially from where the rubber is starting to bed in. Next buy is between a plate carrier to give it another go, or a belt set up that will work with the chest rig.

I think that's ended up in the wrong bag, should have been in the "weekend activities" bag?

That white thing with the ribbed handle looks like it could cause some discomfort at the very least...

I'm baffled by how the economics would make sense, if they're paying rent and rates. The Depot 1.0 was set up as sports chaaaridy, which is the only way I can see it coming close to working.

Asg ultrair can be with or without silicone. I'm unsure how a gas can be better or worse than another, the mixtures all work the same way, a propane/butane mix will be indistinguishable from can to can esp if there's no silicone. If you find a pressure that works for you then that's the best. ASG usefully are upfront about pressure, formulation and temp range.

Now where have we seen this monstrosity before?

Looks familiar.

It only tickles for the first few inches, erm... I mean it's for beating meat, erm... I mean it's a steak pounder, erm... I man it's... Oh, never mind.

Back in the day I used to wonder why people would pack a baseball bat as their preferred weapon when a cricket bat would do the job just as well but be that little bit more convincing for the UK Ribbed for pleasure and wider at one end to minimise the risk of going to A&E to have it removed after ‘falling over’ onto it I know someone who was done for his fruit knife, but he was a repeat drink drive offender and able to provide valid reasons for all his tree surgeon assorted blades He accepted that it was fair enough for everything he usually ignored

@Rogerborg yep, I imagine rents and rates through the roof. Love how the article starts off "New Paintball Venue", then by the 3rd paragraph the author has already converted over to Airsoft ? And what's a local Democracy reporter? lol....Jezzz BBC at it again. So glad I cancelled my TVL.

After a month of sourcing parts. I have converted this Evo Airsoft AK-104 exterior to the AK-204 model. The handguard was 3D printed. To my understanding, the closest thing to a stock airsoft model is the 2024 ELAK74M3 by E&L.

Plus Araments make one with adjustable timing https://www.pulsearmaments.com/product-page/Gen2-B1-209 They're a little on the expensive side and while slimmer they're are probably not much smaller overall. There doesn't seem to be many timed bfgs on the market. I personally have an oshiboom impact and as you said they don't work very well outside of the hardest of surfaces. I've also got a SWAT BFG which i'm pretty sure is a clone/improvment? of the dynatex

I refer you to the Darren Day case above. It is what an "expert" asserts that it is.

What do you call a dog with no legs? Doesn't matter what you call him, he's not coming.

Or . . . . . if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Carry on doing what you've been doing.

Why do you think o rings dry out? Perhaps it depends on the o ring type, but I don't think any o rings have oils etc recommended to moisten thier insides. Rubber doesn't like propane, nitrile and viton are the choices. I'd presume modern magazines use nitrile o rings. Orings shouldn't absorb anything, they need to resist chemical attack stop any gas or fluid getting past them. Very cold o rings may get damaged as they lose elasticity which I'd suggest is what the valve o rings experience. You can fill the gaps in seated worn o rings using an oil or grease to get them to seal again, clean them or reseat them to get them to seal again but they don't dry out. If they appear that way they are ready for replacement. The surfaces wear and don't seal properly on moving o rings like valves for example. O rings do degrade over time, rubber is particularly vulnerable to this, but we should be using nitrile o rings yes? Wetting the oring is a temporary fix until the wetting agent has gone, altho the lubed o ring may have seated itself better than before. https://www.marcorubber.com/o-ring-failure.htm https://www.engineerlive.com/content/why-do-o-rings-fail

Watching with interest The actual application: https://planning.walsall.gov.uk/swift/apas/run/WPHAPPDETAIL.DisplayUrl?theApnID=23/1524 The proposed plan: https://planning.walsall.gov.uk/swift/MediaTemp/76733-421574.pdf The main level says 21,151 sq ft which is about 1965 m2, discounting safe zones etc it will be a bit smaller so it will be a Class S indoor site according to my classification table The linear central corridor with many shops branching from it is far from ideal from a good layout in terms of map design, you can imagine all the shop frontages will become camping spots and there will be a lot of these with no options for going around, it will be extremely challenging if not impossible to design a good map with this sort of layout

I quite enjoy crawling throught the mud, takes me back to my TA days & lets face it... even if we get soaking wet or caked in mud it'll only be for a few hours and a hot shower awaits once we get home.

But they bring the goodness of roast beef and bacon. They should be worshiped.

Tools of my trade... Always locked in a knife box at home or if being transported to my place of work.

I asked the same question recently & the recommendation I got was Ultrair

Indeed , very typical TM , great fit and finish , lightweight and very snappy cycle. I’m sure someone will release an adapter plate for it very soon to open up the RMR options .

Is there on anyone on here that can help. I am looking for a lens protection solution for a Hikmicro Thunder 2.0 19mm. I can’t find anything that would suffice. Has anyone come across something that will work on this scope?

You aren't trying hard enough: https://www.directcosmetics.com/fragrances-c35/for-men-c38/aftershave-c39/hai-karate-m418

To be fair I've pointed that out to him and he says he's open to offers. Whether or not he'll accept realistic offers is a different question

That Cyma 515 is £90 new and in black on bbguns4less, £109.99 on PB. He's having a laugh if he wants £110 used and two tone bahaha

Like an anti vaxxers kids

I would suggest checking the actual fit of the nozzle in the hop and double check the cylinder is sealing properly. I've got a 6mm nozzle and 2 hops, one fits one doesn't. Can tell which is which. Unhelpful I know.

That is a step forward; now he just needs to get the price down to something more realistic.

Gotta say, those Gen 5’s look lovely Now I gotta get my ukara sorted ??

Ah yeah, I think I got em mixed up. Its just a piston sucking air through a small vent hole to do the timing if I remember correctly. It should be possible to put it in a smaller body or even make a smaller diameter piston but it would have to be matched to the spring strength. And the body would have to be quite strong. I imagine they have a patent on the design.

That was a very enjoyable email....and I got a refund d as well. As for the plans..... I wonder how many of those dividing walls are structural? Surely some could be removed/breached to make cut throughs.

I'm sure it performs beautifully but looks wise I prefer the earlier generations. In theory a Gen5 19 shouldn't be far behind, I may pick one of those up.

That Pulse looks cool but yeah, pricy. Pity it doesn't come up with a search for "airsoft timed bfg" When I was looking I didn't see anything other than SWAT and Dynatex (Both very similar. I believe SWAT was the original and Dynatex is the copy) Theoretically it should be possible to make a much smaller version with the same reliable design.

I know his channel and usually agree with what he says... but not this time. I'd rather clean the barrel and hop once in a while than take all the valves out of my mags to oil them separately. Its your choice of course ?

I think most people would but I think you're missing the point. In the heat of the moment 99.9% of people wouldn't be looking at the blade trying to see if it's real or not Easier to get hold of by under 18s is the only thing I can think of as they can't buy them. However as most of the knives confiscated from kids/teens have been nicked from the kitchen drawer it's going to be as effective as a chocolate fireguard

?

I'll go with "possibly" as well. When "samurai swords" were banned as a knee-jerk reaction to one incident that effected the political classes, the definition of "A curved blade of 50 centimetres or over" caught up pretty much every historical and replica cavalry sabre, falchion and tulwar. Arguable it covers many machetes as well, so this is a re-re-re-banning of those. When you look at the list of prohibited weapons that it's now a crime to own even in private, it's so broad that it essentially comes down to interpretation. Baton: A straight, side-handled or friction-lock truncheon. Blowpipe or blow gun: A hollow tube out of which hard pellets or darts are shot by the use of breath. So: a solid stick, or a hollow stick. The one that might already catch us is: Stealth knife: A knife or spike made of a material that cannot be picked up by metal detectors and which is not made for use at home, for food or as a toy. So be sure to buy a "toy" plastic knife, rather than a "training knife."

Lambda Defence Grasshopper Mouse-9 (it kills Scorpions) ?

Ask @Louish118 He had a friend knock up some HK trades for my TM 416 (only has trades on one side from factory) and very good they are too ?

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.

MCX Build ,

I'd like to do a modern tacticool high-speed m4 setup with my 2nd MWS, but all the real-steel parts are expensive. So instead I decided to use what I already had to do a retro build instead.

Decided to have a look into this as have a mate near Cheltenham and though it might be interesting to check out having read through as much as I could on their site this event seems weird to say the least. The price of standard play entry seems a bit of a red flag due to just how low it is £100 for 5 days of airsoft, 4 nights of camping and other entertainment, that's £20 a day, you'd be lucky to find a site that would run a standard 6-8hr game for that price let alone a big event. Reading through the tournament rules though is where this get wild to me though, as while it is possible that a team could win the £100,000 the odds are on the impossible side, this isn't a simple knockout style tournament winner takes the cash. To quickly (as possible) summarize how the 'tournament' works (as best I understand it) there are 10 'heats' over 2 days, these heats are more like challenges though test your aim, team building, etc. where teams can score a maximum of 10 points per 'heat' (100 points total), at the end of the second day the top 4 scoring teams will enter into a knockout style playoff. Now the team that wins the playoffs doesn't instantly win the money they only have a chance to win it, the winning team then needs to play against the 5th - 15th place teams (so a team of 8 against a possible team of 80) if the team of 8 complete all the objectives in the final game they win the £100,000, if the opposing team of 80 wins the money is split among them. However the team of 80 can only get a cut of that money up to £1250 and they must survive to get anything so if only 20 people from that team of 80 survives only 20 x £1250 = £25,000 is handed out. HOWEVER if the team of 8 completes some of the objectives then the £1250 each player receives is decreased for each objective they complete e.g. if there are 5 objectives and 3 are completed and 20 players from the team of 80 survive and each objective knock off £250 then the winnings handed out will be (20 x (1250 - (3 x 250))) = £10,000. Feel free to double check this with the website https://www.operation-scorpio.net/programme as it took me quite a while to wrap my head around it so may well have missed something but that was as best I could understand it. So the only way £100,000 is getting handed out is if one team of 8 takes on and defeats 80 players or 80 players successfully hold x number of objectives without a single player going down.
