I was replying to this, then stopped myself and deleted it ?

I've had a whipround in the workshop and ive got £2.86, 3x M6 washers and an inline crimp. Should just about cover it.

Oh dear.... https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/49152-aap01-hpa-crazy-upgraded/

It's a great video, really got me wanting one. And great to see Ollie being himself, in spite of everything

Just add a can of monster and a Dye mask for the perfect no girl will ever touch my pee pee loadout

I'll put myself down as a maybe. Subject to pictures up front

Please don’t or at least erase your search history afterwards haha

Can we put requests out for these things? Asking for a friend

That's very specific..... in a non specific way.

For what ?, car sharing, mutual pegging, more information would help ?

Sorry... I posted this in the wrong thread. What an amateur.

Think I'd rather look at that bubblegum capa, and that's ugly

Isn't it though ! I particularly like the way he has written it to sound 'gangsta '

I was useless learning knots as a kid. As an adult, I've become slightly compulsive about learning them and failing to teach them to my kids.

But they have such good ideas

FYI...

Kelly kettle, now that is decadent sir! Get the tiffin tins and it’s four course meal time. ? I’m going to discuss a couple of shelters setups. Starting with British Army Standard Hotel Accomodation. For skirmishes there’s basically two (non emergency) uses. 1) Weather protection at some sort of harbour area. and/or 2) Concealment for an observation post. I’m a bit wary of tarping over location that will definitely get bumped. Just because I like pyro a lot… ACF YouTube video about the basics. For our purposes quick and easy is what we want. I am not a big fan of bungies however. Mostly because when they go ping they are bound to hit you in the face or nuts. But your mileage may vary! Centre ridgeline basha General use shelter. The setup below is a variation of the basha with the cordage and ridge line already in place. If tying between two trees it uses minimal hardware. Avantage of pre-rigging is that is very quick to pitch. Disadvantage is that you’ve lost some flexibility so as you have to take stuff off to change the set up. Bundled up. Main ridge line is just wrapped around the whole thing. Partly unrolled. You can set this up by tie one end to a tree and unroll it as you go and then trying off the free end. The basha Will the just hang from the line. The line is pretty thick and it easier to work with than paracord. But that works just fine too. The ridge line is pre rigged run through the centre loops on the basha. The knots on the two one loops are PRUSSIK’s. These self lock under load. This means you can tension the basha separately along the ridge line and move it along to where you want it. Staking straight to the ground is the most weatherproof. Using the guy lines gives more clearance. These I quite long as as I often pitch it above a hammock. If I intended to use this for concealment I’d rig the ridgeline along one edge. There are a lot of ways to set up tarps and the Aussie hootch/basha has a variety of eyelets and studs so you can button it into a tube or join them together.

... so it looks like a UTR with a choice of stocks, two mag options, and that new feature is a 'stop on empty' function. Which I like the idea of, assuming it doesn't make the mags too expensive! Now, Double Eagle, where's that commission check you promised, eh???

WTF DUDE!

At last ??

Jesus us bloody christ, message me your address.

Yes no surpieses there.

Wot, like us ?

With the frame, grips and receiver he started well, but just like Sarah Winchester, he couldn't stop adding to the build.

Well that's more than I've heard about the place. I agree on not listening to internet rumours as all too often they're started by childish idiots with an agenda

I think the 3-in-1 is this sort of stuff... y'know, proper oil from a proper man's garage toolbox. WD-40 is a water-repellent primarily, the fact it's slippery is a bit of a bonus. That's the interesting fact I've gleaned from my time on this forum (so not entirely wasted, amirite?) Ahem. Except (from WD-40's own website)... "Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal." The other interesting fact I got from t'internet was that it was originally manufactured to prevent rust forming on the outer skin of Atlas ICBM's. So it is (sort-of) rocket science behind it So... :shrug: not sure where that leaves things. I've got cans of WD-40 and WD-40 Silicone and I've avoided using either of them on any of my toys... so far. I've also got Muc-Off chain lube, both wet and dry varieties - I'm gonna try the dry one on the GBBR bolt first, see how it goes. The plastic slidey-bits will still get silicone grease mixed with silicone oil, which (in my ignorance) I was using on the metal bits. Which probably means they've worn faster than if I'd used oil.

Agreed, I'll use just about any gunk in a gearbox, but for sliding parts, only lightweight oil (3-in-1) for metal to metal, or silicone lube for anything involving plastic.

If you like the mp5 if you can source a plastic version you'll get to use your mags again. The metal one is significantly over 3kg. A short adjustable stock would help but any mostly plastic gun would help you. The p90 is a good choice.

Memento ??

This kinda relates to the above lol. The great thing about being my age is that I can hide my own Easter eggs,wait half an hour and have no clue where I hid them?

Deja vu is strong with this one! Oops! Sorry.?

A note on knots The above basha uses a few basic knots: Clove hitch or round turn and two half hitches for the ends of the ridgeline. Prussia knot for keeping the tarp in place. Overhand on a loop to tie off the guy lines to the stakes. There are better and adjustable options but this keeps it super simple. I make the loop quite large so it’s easy to up hook. A more advanced option is to use a truckers hitch on one end of the ridge line to get it really tight. Corporal’s Corner explains: This is useful for poor weather or if you intend to have the basha up for a while.

My son wanted to play this thing ‘Airsoft’ that I never heard of before. He told me that I have to play 3 times and then gift him a RIF. At first I was against it but he convinced me to try it out. I’ve enjoyed it and we’ve been going every month since. My relationship with my son has improved dramatically. Before we didn’t have much in common and now we talk Airsoft, equipment all the time (much to my wife’s annoyance ? So I would try to approach your dad from that angle. As Dan already said there are lots of Dad&Son combos on the field. I thought I would be far too old for this but I’ve seen lots of grey middle aged (and older) men out there.

Sadly..... You're still a "a little bittle kid" in the eyes of the law even though you likely have some fluff on your top lip now. Also a point to consider - if you live in your dads house, you need to live by his rules, he may have his own prejudices against it regardless to the legalities. Take him to a skirmish for the day, bit of bonding, you never know he may get the bug and then you'll have all the guns you want.

As a father to a teenager I second that - the boy and I have our own distinct loadouts. Looking forward to him coming home in June so I can shoot the crap out of him again: We have (I like to think) a pretty solid relationship as a result of spending Airsoft days together. I certainly know him better than he thinks I do. The boy also has some school friends who's mum was into Airsoft - her and her partner's loadout's were pretty awesome. We had some fun gameday's as a group. However, your dad may have genuine reasons for being apprehensive - I was at first TBH. It's not just the financial cost of owning a gun. My brother and his missus are completely against guns of any kind for example so my nephew would have had no chance if he wanted Airsoft as a hobby. It's part of what sucks to be a kid. You have to respect the boundaries your parents put in place. Of course I am giving the OP the benefit of the doubt that this isn't a wind up thread.

That Abbey link is poorly worded. It is illegal to sell an airsoft gun to anyone under 18 But it is not illegal to own - it can be irresponsible to supply one to a person under 18 If the father was confident in their child being responsible enough then the father could legally buy an airsoft gun and gift it (with no exchange of money or other service) Unless the father is an airsofter then they would not be able to purchase a RIF, therefore could only buy and gift a brightly coloured IF There is seperate legislation for the storage of air weapons that if minors have access to the property the owners must secure air weapons. The police recommend a gun cabinet - but that is not the legal requirement, and subsequently seperate firearms legislation exempts (compliant) airsoft guns from firearms/weapon definitions (which can depend on different parts of legislation) Therefore it’s not illegal for the OP to own an airsoft gun, but it’s up to the adult responsible for that child

On Easter holidays early ? (regulars will get that) But seeing as you clearly haven’t googled it, but your father may well have Here you go….. https://www.abbeysupply.com/resources/how-old-do-you-have-to-be-to-play-airsoft#:~:text=This means that anyone under,over the age of 18.

I got these in long and short, the short ones are snug enuf to hold normal mags, the long ones obviously more secure. Both are very snug and you can cinch the bungee up more if you wanted.

These are also good. I have a few for my (many) mp9 mags: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/8fields-tactical-double-magazine-pouch-smg-5-smg-7 Outside of that I have a pair of Viper triple pouches on a front panel for my plate carrier.

I also use the bulle triple mp5 mag pouch. They have enough retention to be use as open top pouches with the flap-stuffing method (technical term). Plus you can cover the mags if you're doing something more daring like rolling around in mud, or using gas smg or long pistol mags with them.

I use ops and viper insert for smg mags. I much prefer the ops panel over the insert. Not elastic pouch but snug so you can run covers, bungees or open.

I can smell this comment

I've got HSGI tacos in both pistol and extended pistol and both work, although the extended give you more coverage unsurprisingly. A lot of it can come down to play style and what other guns and rigs you run. You haven't mentioned if this is for belt or chest/plate carrier or both. For example, HSGI do a taco that's rifle+pistol, so if you often run an M4 but also have occasional MP5 you can use it for either. Alternatively if it's a more dedicated mp5 plate carrying rig, you might want all 4 to be quick draw across the chest (although I find this awkward with long mags and prefer a belt draw). You generally don't *need* more than one or two of the tacos in my view. I have a couple on the belt since I tend to quick reload from those and then top them up from additional closed pouches on a chest rig in a lull.

Last time I was in Egypt, I was offered a real one for less than that lol

These HPA rigs are really starting to get out of hand...

No soldering this week - it's all been crimpy crimpy: And unless I screw it up - there shouldn't be any soldering on the wiring tomorrow. Cheeky fecker.

Unfortunately I was dragged out of my liberal metropolitan elite bubble to do the honest work of gentrifiying a local community. Or in plain English, I quite fancied a garden and a house bigger than my shoes.
