Now that I got a front strap from Japan and a metal suppressor from a chap on here, the mac11 is complete! Such a nasty little sniper secondary.

Sod ghillie suit, get yourself one of these.

The origin of the word camouflage comes from the French to disguise. This still envelopes the military use, which is more than just hiding something to be unseen - it’s actually more about disguising what you do see as opposed to not being seen - especially to be seen but not noticed. WW1 dazzle camouflage is a perfect illustration that camouflage isn’t about avoiding being seen but to disguise what you see and delay/prevent your opposition from being able to quickly identify what has been seen and to delay the understanding of its size, distance, direction, speed etc A ghillie might hit the sweet spot of being invisible, but being harder to notice, identify and understand the body shape is a success for the ghillied player. The enemy of the ghillie is movement, and equally the enemy of the player in jeans & hoody is movement We notice movement, then we interpret whether that thing that just moved is a threat or not. That buys time for the quiet player

I like my VFC MPX AEG but I've never been a fan of the fat handguard. So off to the secret underground lair and I knocked up a version I prefer.

I am fully aware of whom you speak of. This particular player often uses his disabilities to try to win arguements and get his own way. Has been banned from multiple sights for safety issues and uses legal action threats constantly. It's not discrimination as this individual has literally been given chance after chance before being banned. And other player would have been automatically removed and banned without hesitation. If anything they were given more leeway due to their existing conditions. My brother has similar disabilities and I won't bring him along to matches due to his lack of control if he becomes triggered. Safety is priority especially when you can lose an eye and those Airsoft weapons are often heavy enough to knock someone out with.

I've crafted my own "ghillie". I put it in inverted commas because it's not a full suit with the trousers and all that malarkey, it's just a viper mesh jacket that covers head, shoulders and down my back. I made a rifle wrap to match and realistically that's all I really need to cover up if I pick my spot to hide properly. I only wear it when I've got my BASR in my mitts. I take it off to run anything else because, well, its just not sporting. As others have said, rentals won't get what us happening to them or appreciate the skill that a good sniper has employed to brass them up without being seen.....then again, the majority of ghillie wearers I have met on a casual skirmish day are utterly clueless about actual stealth and think they are fucking Batfink, "your plastic balls cannot harm me, my leaves are like a shield of steel!" kind of thing. I think ghillie is for BASR only, just my twopenneth. Thinking about an alternative that let's anyone use a ghillie. A ghillie wearer, not using a BASR is required to shout "Nee" once every 30 seconds.....and if there are two of them working as a team, one has to be slightly higher than the other to create a nice little two level effect to the shrubbery.

I can see where you're coming from but it's also the prerogative of anyone who isn't in-game to make it clear, whether that's by a hand in the air, dead rags or shouts of "dead man walking". Not doing these tells me the player is a legitimate target

I’m with you on ‘dead man walking’ As long as you aren’t actually cheating (hand up to walk through as a dead player then shooting), and in line with event rules then it’s valid (I also encourage those willing to risk it in my game rules) If in doubt challenge / shoot. If it’s a problem then adopt clear systems such as dead rags (but this is another thread diversion with an often argued topic) It doesn’t, and is now deceased, following the great lightning strike fire of Ironsight Our turret was an event prop/objective, not for players to turn up and use but for players to try and pass or defeat It did have a variety of disablement systems - for safety purposes as a kill switch system, and player activated controls to ‘kill’ it As seen on TV, and an upcoming card game Solaco RIP The ‘intelligence’ of AI are highly exaggerated It has its uses, but many more limitations

Surely to a lesser degree, every m4 boxmag dsg wanker is doing the same, trying to get an unfair (?) advantage by essentially trying to put down 2 or 3 times the bbs downrange against their opponents, all elements of realism are lost, as similar rof chainguns aren't commonplace on the infantry battlefield, yet walk on days are full of dsg wankers😜 Edit: what if said dsg jizzbucket turned up at a site & at the chrono the rof was also checked, & the Marshall says "nah sorry mate, your doing more than 18rps, it's a wankergun, you can only use it with lo-caps, & if you've got none,we'll rent you some we've got here, but they are painted yellow" 🤣 Definitely food for thought😈

That's another hotly debated topic as some people consider it cheating. Personally, if I see someone walking nonchalantly and their hand isn't in the air, they're getting a shot to the plate carrier. One of my friends is really good at doing this, walking nonchalantly with his rifle in hand past the enemy team and then shooting them in the back, and it's something we do at Vietnam filmsims as well, but with a hidden pistol tucked into the trousers and no rifle in hand. "No VC, civilian, civilian!" *blam blam blam*

Thats not a kiddies slide its an Emergency Rapid Egress System .😔

Okay, so controversial topic. I'm assuming this persons disability is something like ASC (not allowed refer to it as a spectrum now, which in itself is silly as there's a clear difference between functioning and non functioning imho) Anywho, the biggest disservice believe it or not for those with ASC that you can do, is to treat them any different than regular folk. (Applies to what we would call functioning ones) So, this person had to be shown that what they did was wrong and banning them because of their actions puts people at risk is fair and reasonable. It's not discrimination to do. In terms of other disabilities - well, last year at driver wood there was a guy in a wheel chair (running) an LMG and other than the poor bastard getting overshot because he cant both keep hand in the air and wheel himself back to spawn. Airsofters will generally accept every one due to one simple reason. Don't matter what you look like, what you believe in, or what's wrong with you.....we will happily shoot you without hesitation.

And thats fine, if its advertised as that. I would have paid it just to have the online badge but thats not what was offered. I pay the same amount to be a subscribing member of a motorbike forum that gives you acces to a particular section of the site. Im on here much, much more than that one but its fine because they were upfront from the beginning. It's not about the actual patch anymore, its the principal. We've been offered a product, paid in good faith, then completely ignored numerous times. Maybe the buy a patch page needs changing to say that your only getting an online patch and the money goes to the site upkeep. Good effort at trying to placate me with the idea of being one of the cool kids though! 😁

You'll need to aim for 310fps for .25s. Otherwise your gun will be too spicy.

Agreed! If you aren't making it clear you are out of the game, you get shot.

I, and others, have poked a fair few times but tagging them and direct messages just get ignored. When a mod, that has taken your money, ignores any request for updates you're left with nothing else ypu can do! Maybe file a claim with paypal!

As for AI sentry guns There was also a trial of facial recognition software done years ago by HOSDB. From what I heard it went almost just as badly with a high number of misses and false positives As for players nonchalantly walking into other teams lines, I wouldn't call a lack of situational awareness cheating

Spends the mag in under 2 seconds, but it makes everyone nearby jump out of their skin 😂

Okay, but *apart* from the recoil shocks, magnetic fire control in the MP5, MWS system, gas AK's, gas semi auto saiga, new pistols, electric shotguns, recoil MK46, sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? Yes, this isn't a new gun. It's a refresh. Plenty of other threads people say "JG/CYMA have mosfets and Marui don't". Marui refresh to bring them in and then "They're not innovating"? Combined with "I'll wait for the clone to come out" seems hard for them to win.

That's the even bigger fear really isn't it - a rental turning up, getting hosed by a rhododendron repeatedly seconds after respawning then just heading home and never bothering again.

I’ve set up my DMR with a Modify tan hop and Bavtac nub, I haven’t tested it in the field yet but it’s easily hitting 60metres with a .40 in testing. Running at 290ish (1.56j). Still have adjustment in hop with the Bavtac nub so could use .43 easily I would think.

No, it's a copy of the original type 3 AK recoil from TM. It's a CM.046 if you want to check it out.

I did think about this but I'm sure the host gets charged a fee for having a chargeback applied to their account. As pissed off as I am, i dont want it to have a detrimental affect on the site, beacuse all things considered its not bad here.

I sacrificed a great photo sequence when I spotted a dead man walking in a tournament There was only one exit out of the field, behind him. Tournament rules alone specify taking the shortest route to the side then out so he was clearly in breach if he had been eliminated His gun failed, so he kept ducked down trying to fix it and the opposing team forgot about him. He stood up, stepped to the edge* ( still in the boundary ) walked towards the oppositions rear and then across to the central scoring bunker for the buzzer * note that this site was very old in the tournament world with the netting & posts at exactly regulation size, so there was no out of bounds on the edge - he could have hugged the net line remaining in game being more deceptive, but clearly and openly walked on One of the referees did challenge him for going the wrong way, and he quietly said that he’s not out. I desperately wanted the photos but I would have drawn attention so waited until he sped across for the buzzer There were complaints, but it was a valid winning move - to official rules

Might be a good call.

I'm not sure. The post was made at the start of the easter holiday and we all know how the number of stupid posts always goes up when the schools are out

I'm stoked. My project pew has been delivered. I've always wanted one and now I have stage one..... 😁😁😁😁😁😁

This has got to be a trolling post. It has to be... it can't be anything else... *looks at kicking mustang's insta* It has to be... right?

Can't beat the way a MAC rips through a mag and makes em dive for cover.

Generally yes stick to the same brand of mag as the gun. But even then with Airsoft QC it's not always the case that same brand will feed

People keep saying that, but what exactly is a massive innovation that another company has made? Everything is still fundamentally based on TM designs. I notice no one has cloned a Recoil other than the AA12.

That’s not the fort, it’s Bennys farmhouse (One of our guys was doing a job, and when he was loading up the waste to scrap they mentioned getting rid of their playhouse - just in time for event planning)

Sunday at Special Ops "The Fireplace" My second trip to Carlos's new CQB site, and this one went better - I didn't get lost on the way, I didn't forget anything, I took less stuff (maybe connected to the previous point), and I had some better idea what to expect Considering my knee is knackered at the moment, I went a bit brave and booked in for the full day - £35 for 9:30 - 18:00 I'm a bit crap at remembering and describing actual gameplay so I'll just throw some thoughts at ya... Carlos has put together a decent playbook of games already He's put together a mildly amusing briefing video that gets all his usual info across in a nippy 10 minutes The helicopter helps block some of the line of sight to the first spawn, but it's still eminently 'trappable' by a good team 'Chopper' jokes might get old when everyone is doing them Grenades are fun Except when it doesn't go off, and you have to make The Walk Of Shame to retrieve it! A full day is a long time if you forget to take a packed lunch (only 'food' available: crisps, choccies and Pot Noodles) The 4-a-side mini tournament at the end of the day was great fun whilst you're playing, but the winner-stays-on style means there's a fair bit of waiting around. Some people bailed out, I was tempted myself as I could barely get up off the floor where I'd been resting. There were some long delays - Jet (for it that is his appellation) got his miniature scales out and checked everyone's BB's to make sure no-one was exceeding the 0.25 limit. The lunchtime changeover dragged on a bit due to stragglers, as did some end-of-game bomb-ups. Still, by lunchtime I was already grateful for the breathers, but others might have been annoyed. Hit-taking was mostly good, but a couple of annoying instances of having to pump multiple shots at people to make them "admit to the hit".

I made a run and chucked my grenade perfectly in and got him https://www.facebook.com/100060685493832/videos/pcb.933626975336810/435840382287286 "Consult the Book Of Armaments" The main thing is I went with the strongest possible intention to run my Tippmann for it's first proper game (I've had it 2 years already) - and it worked (in every sense!) Yay! This was my first experience of running an HPA system, and the tank and line weren't nearly as troubling as I suspected they might be - once I'd fed the line through my shoulder straps to keep it closer to my body. And swapped the tank from a belt pouch that wasn't designed for such a bulky / heavy item to a lightweight rucksack. The Tippmann was great - plenty of 'bang' with every shot, it really is the next best thing to a proper GBBR. It was also my first game with a tracer unit. Carlos is selling 2000x0.25g Bio tracers for £13 which seemed a pretty decent price, considering. I did get through ~3000 during the day (I took some Vorsk ones I'd already bought from Amazon, they were fine). Tracers proved damned useful in the dim lighting for getting the hop and sights sorted out (or allowing you to still hit stuff even when they're not!), and when Carlos dimmed the lights further in the late afternoon, those green streaks of light sure looked purdy I also took along my proven faves - the VFC HK416 GBBR (every shot remains a joyful experience), which I used until I exhausted my gas can. And of course the DE M906C Old Faithful (which in comparison to the other gats really showed it shoots like a frickin' laser beam - especially impressive with the tracers). Shame the thing currently screeches like a cat being run over by a steamroller, even after my attempts at adjusting the motor height. No wonder the motor got a little toasty again. I need Luke to fix it up for me. The HPA experience means I'm really quite likely to buy an Airtac adapter for my '416 now... the realistic gas mag changes are fun, but my 'speedloader' didn't exactly live up to its name (it's getting very graunchy), and with only 3 working mags I wasn't quite on it. I think the adapter plus a bunch of (relatively dirt-cheap) mid-caps instead will be a decent compromise. All in all a very good day

Not sure I like the look of that ris rail for optics. Imo the older style carry handle rail added to the overall aesthetics

We have marshals go with each team and clarify where objectives are etc. A couple of our POI'S include; Camp Curly Wurly and Harry Potter Tree. Are we doing it wrong? 😁

Lol yep, but if he'd taken a telling off & stopped being a bellend, he probably wouldn't have got banned. That's the difference between those of us regular people who can get carried away in the excitement of the "heat of battle"😉, & the ever-growing masses of the self entitled who can't accept they could possibly be wrong, whether it's acting like a cnut at an airsoft site or discussing how many genders there are 🤣

Understandable, last time I was there I remember at one point taking baby steps with one hand out in front of me, so 'kin dark. It was when I put my hand on another players head who was crouched down, don't think he appreciated it when I said "while your down there"🤣

@TheFull9, this really made me chuckle , every briefing at every site I just glaze over and light another Marlboro whilst dreaming of battling through these epic locations like Chuck Norris from Missing in Action 2 . part 2 should cover actually arriving at said locations though ….. Launch site Alpha “The Fort”

Very Happy I bought the K1 Max. Waiting on trigger, hop unit and mag springs. hopping to have it up and running for some CQB in 2 weeks time. Also going to try and Get a M6C based on a aap-01 printed as well.

Ahoy and welcome. The actual legal risk isn't purchase or ownership, but being tempted to take it out in public to show off to your mates, or even just being seen through a window. So how about suggesting that your dad owns it and keeps it securely locked up, and that you only get your hands on it while at site.

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.

Did you just keep rolling around in mud and bushes for all 7 months till you eventually became one with nature, a walking bush Wookiee?

*Insert Archer phrasing meme here*

I can just imagine it. Him sitting alone in his bedroom in his ghillie suit with his "Sniper", "Shooter" and "Enemy at the gates" posters on the walls, surrounded by empty KFC buckets, stroking his rifle and muttering "nasty, nasty. We will makes them sorry, won't we my precious?"
