Ok thank you I think will buy an aeg as my budget overall for the gun plus the mags is around £300 thank you ?

Arrr, tis a whale of a tale to be sure!

Got this brand new G&G ESG B-10 from malcolm1174. Not sure how he got his hands on it but its in mine's now. As far as I know these guns are still very much in pre order but considering theyre basically a Flak 10 its unsurprising its banned in most places already lol. Gun above is an APS Striker MK3 I bought recently; probably the most practical "shell eject" shotgun out there. I do love my semi auto shotguns haha

Thanks to @Lozart for setting me up with some medium scope mounts that are the perfect height since the low mounts it came with were too low. I wanted it as low as possible and with the medium rings it's less than 1mm clearance over the rear sight, so it's perfect! M14 recce setup is now done!

I wasn't keen on hi capas when I started airsoft, but I have come to regard the TM ones as probably the greatest of all airsoft pistols. They have the best trigger of any pistol and are the easiest to disassemble and reassemble. There are not that many internal parts to worry about. Metal slides, outer barrels etc are readily available. The only thing I don't like about them is the grip, but that is easily fixed. I prefer to fit Guarder tactical grips which make the hi capa look more like a regular 1911 and less like a race gun. But if you like the race gun look, you can pick up a Cow Cow grip for not much more than twenty quid, and buy a nice magwell to compliment it. I have had loads of pistols over the years, and I love Glocks, but the hi capa has been the most reliable and the best performing. The FNX 45 was pretty good but I never got used to the look of it.

I think it may have been used in the Great Smurf Massacre of '02. It's dried smurf blood and evidence of a war crime!

We can stop you buying a lemon. Whoa quiet bud? I was hoping to sell him a lemon. ?

He also has a rifle up, that states used once but looks pretty well worn.

Just watch out for the Somalian pirates.

I hope folks evolve to see that this kinda thing is absolutely up there in terms of what makes (or breaks) their games. Once you get on to a field it is soooo obvious which sites have been maintaining structures and features/replacing stuff that's beyond repair vs ones that just let everything rot forever, tape it off and call that good. Obviously this is not a big money industry so in some instances it's unavoidable or understandable, but since the last place I played had a fair few 'bridges' that were falling to bits and not safe I do enjoy seeing this a lot I have to say.

So I tried it out last weekend and am very impressed. Straight away there are features on it that I hadn't realised I was missing like quick release at the sides for taking it on and off, the replaceable front panel for different loadouts, line retention on the shoulders for HPA/hydration. Profile wise, it's actually smaller coverage on the torso that I was using but it feels tonnes lighter when wearing with my mag pouches and backpack for my HPA tank. It has a much better airflow system when wearing thanks to design and materials compared to my previous set up and is a lot more comfortable. I need to try it on a full day outdoor game but overall, I'm really pleased with it. The standard of manufacture is very high, and is something I can see myself using for years to come.

I hate being tailgated, especially when you're already doing 70 in a 30. And this blokes aftermarket blue lights are bloody annoying too...

A bridge to go across the stream at Red Alert. It has two flag holders, one on each hand rail, for capture the bridge games. I'll be making more, and other additions to the site. One is finished but I'm not allowed to show it till after this Sunday's battlesim ?

Don't do it... you obviously don't know what type/style of pew you like, try as many aeg's as you can first or you'll be spending a fortune to only regret the purchase & we'll/I'll end up offering you 60-70% what you paid when it ends up in the classifieds. If that's not the answer you want to hear go onto youtube and watch as many gbbr video's as you can. If you do buy a GBBR, get a Calico, CZ Scorpion, L85A2 or a G3 etc coz I don't have one of these yet.

Same deal. Pretty much all gas magazines are expensive. Just sort by cheapest on places like Patrolbase, the cheapest GBB M4 is £250 and the mags, which are out of stock, are £50 each and only hold 50 BBs each, so you're going to spend just as much on magazines as you are for the rifle.

Casual Urban Operator. I need a Drop leg for my sidearm as it's far too uncomfortable on my belt and gets in the way of stuff.

I use to run a site shop and the fastest way I found was just to get the buyer to hold different guns , what suits one player another will hate. I have large hands but I love compacts with full size grips ( Xdmc, hi-capa 4.3 , g19 etc ) If you have a main store close or even a site shop pay them a visit and handle all the main models of pistol( don't rack them.. they can get annoyed lol ) find a model you like in the hand and then look for the best brand of it.

Well if the Somalian pirates got me they would have to have their wicked way with me cause I would be too weak to fight em off?. ??

Why do I get the impression he played once and discovered the reality of playing isn't like the edited YouTube videos he watched? Overpriced two-tone AEG with accessories up for sale too. "Only been used once" but it's awash with scuffs and scratches.

How the heck did that boat get there? You're 30 km from the nearest water lol.

We're doing a lot of maintenance right now. More bridges to come, some structures to be torn down and replaced, some repaired, some new ones. Woodland with a few knackered barricades just doesn't cut it. The decking will be gritted and painted, for extra grip. Think skateboard grip tape, on a larger scale. We've had 6 of us jumping down on this one. My welds hold ? 20240425_150829.mp4 Oh, and I added this today. YARRR!

noted… I’m going to trawl through the internet and see what I can find. i know that the barrels are the VSR style barrels, not the standard AEG ones, so deffo going to have a look at Hops & rubbers ? that’s a pretty good fighting scale of rounds ready to go!! deffo feeing that 6 may be the magic number here!!! if you want to keep me I. The loop with how those work out, that would be awesome!! ?

Yeah, but who read them? obviously not me.

extra points if it's coated in green slime that makes it slippier than ice at the merest hint of moisture

Don’t buy anything until you have actually handled a few, and spoken to the owner on what they have had to do/fix etc see what people run at your local sites

£450 ish , probably better off breaking it down and listing the bits separately on eBay though .

Awesome to hear - what size did you end up getting if you don't mind me asking? I tried on a friend's DCS last sunday and it was a little snug on me (but he is also much younger and much skinnier than me lol) but that could've just been the way he's adjusted it to himself (medium size) Exactly what my friend I tried it on said - they do sales all the time so just wait. Guess I'm going to have to open another pay in three haha

Sounds like you've come to the right conclusion, you can scratch your GBB itch at a later date. Cost of entry into the GBB game is eyewatering, a sidearm is a cheaper way in as you use it less and therefore can get away with less mags, but it's certainly not a necessity or a replacement for a rifle. You can prepare yourself for getting a GBB by getting mid-caps, or even lo-caps. I use 100rnd midcaps on my 308 but still have my emergency hi-cap as a last mag. It was actually then that I found that 200 rounds does me just fine in most games, so I bought enough gas mags to cater for that and a bit of extra on top. I see you have an MP5K, how may shots are you using most games? All that said, I love my MK18 and MP7 GBBs!

Back in the day I used to shoot the real Hi Power - which has increased my love/desperation for a decent airsoft version rather than quelled it!

I'm sure I'll be branded a heretic but I've never really seen the appeal of the Browning HP. Of course, that said I don't like Glocks either so what do I know?

It's great, for sure but it seems quite small to me. 25000sqft compared to ZMart which is 40000sqft for example. Shame it isn't the whole place really. Still, any new site is better than no new site!

Great that it's going ahead, and I reckon it is a large enough area to be viable with some smart build work. I just hope they don't sink loads in and then get dicked over as soon as a more conventional client shows interest.

There's a discount code available right now - PD25 for 25% off all Warrior kit on UK Tactical until midnight Sunday!

Policeman said "you were doing 75 mph sir" "That's a lie officer", I replied."I've only been out for twenty minutes"

I've had my brother's Jaguar XK the past few weeks. Jeeeesus this thing is rapid. You're doing 90 before you start the engine!

Anyone know when I go to make a bid it says the page you are trying to access is not available for your account? Thanks

Ok thank you ?

Yeahhhh, for that budget you will get a KWA mp9 and *maybe* one spare magazine if you're lucky. Since the magazines are 48rds, you need a lot more than a single spare magazine. GBB SMGs and rifles are unfortunately expensive to get into because the magazines are hella expensive and you need a bunch.

Nothing really. to be effective in games you need to spend that on mags alone.

Rifle, SMG, Pistol? budget?. usage?

Thing is though, it doesn't make it a sniper rifle, does it? While yes, I agree that to many it's just semantics the whole "is an M4 a DMR just because it has higher FPS and scope slapped on it" is a valid argument. Given that the whole basis for the need of an exemption under the VCRA is that we want our toys to be "realistic", running a 400FPS pistol with a 1J boltie sidearm just seems a bit disingenuous.

It's Saint George's Day today. Patron saint of cheap clothes in Asda.

I have 5 for my Scar-H but have 12 for my XM177 (6 in pouches & 6 in a bandolier), time will tell if 6 is enough or 12 is too much.(last game I felt 6 wasn't enough for my XM177)

I think from memory it was a TNT hop unit, probably a couple of years since we fitted it . Have to say it made a definite difference to performance. Mags wise , I tend to take 5 mags out for a game with my GBBR's and a speed loader for a quick top up in quiet moments. I ususally get 2and a bit BB fills to a gas fill so I dont bother taking extra gas with me.

I've got five for my M4 (hold about 40 rounds each) and that seems alright. I just pick my shots and let the hicap aeg types around me throw all their ammo away ?

So been working on this bad boy. Still not finished. But its getting there... So it's an ares A3 Managed to fit the angry gun mlok rail to it. Added the C Reinforcement sections. Hka3 added to rear. LLM03 3d printed Not seen in pic is the QR codes added to both sa80 and os4. Still to do; Laser engraved the os4 Make a pressure pad and 3d print the coupling. Weather it all.

who read out in an Irish accent? I did! lol

My ex wife around rhe bend, mostly.
