Saturday we had a full day private party booking, a video gaming community that has grown up around a youtube review channel, and get together to play airsoft once a year. They are online acquaintances, some of whom had never met in real life before. Some had their own kit some rented. I have to say, they were brilliant to marshal for. The mood all day was fantastic, there was not one single complaint about hit calling, in fact quite the opposite: In the last minute of one game a player grabbed the objective and made an heroic sprint. Afterwards i overheard an opfor player say: "I'm pretty sure I saw my shots bouncing off you" And I thought, uh oh, here we go. But he followed up with: "But sometimes when you're running like that you just don't feel it". Why aren't all airsofters like him these days? Sunday I managed to play, instead of marshaling for a change. One of my closest friends has been out of the game for months, and came back yesterday, so I was glad to be out there with him, and we had a great time. Ran my TM MWS for a few games, and my Secutor (well, the exterior is) DMR for a few. We got absolutely SPANKED by the red team, but had fun in the process. A couple of the MWS mags were gassing out on the first round, so I'll need to sort that out, but overall a great day. Photo title: "Oooh, shoots you sir!"

I'd talk to whomever is in charge. Site owner or manager, whatever. A couple of bad marshals can really ruin a whole site and if a long term customer isn't happy playing there any more I'd want to know why.

Unfortunately scammers are drawn to the Wanted ads like flies on shit, after all half of the work is done, they know what you want so now all they need to do is convince you they've got it, which they'll do using somebody else's pictures. As long as people remember to only pay using something like PayPal goods & services, never friends & family or bank transfer, always keep the comms here, don't be tempted to use WhatsApp or other encrypted comes that the seller suggests. Ask plenty of questions, request photos of the kit with obscure items in them, pint of milk & copy of a UK paper or similar, & if you've got the slightest concerns or the seller pressures you, walk away, nothing we play with is worth the stress of being scammed out of your hard earned. Oh yeah, & ALWAYS report the seller to the mods, as well as discuss it in the open with other forum members, keeping g scammers out is like trying to hold back the sea, but knowledge is power overs these jizzbuckets, so share it.

New pew, replacement for my LM4D workhorse. Paired it with a PEQ15, 3x magnifier and RDS and finished it off with a Bifrost BT for flame fun.

I suspect on opening either of the Hi-Capas above you would be greeted by the stench of "monster energy, supreme fanboi'ing and frustration" that accompanies speed-softers.

God saw that Adam was lonely and He said to him, “Do not be downcast. My work is not yet finished. I shall make for you a companion, and she shall have the gentle voice of an angel, the beauty of a summer sunrise, a kind heart that is sensitive to your every need before you even know you have it, and a glorious body that will be a delight to hold; and I shall call this Woman.” “That sounds wonderful!” breathes Adam. “Yes,” says God, “but it’s going to cost you an arm, a leg, an eye, an ear, and your right testicle.” Adam digests this in silence and says, “Hypothetically, Lord… what could I get for just a rib?”

No mags either? I’d expect a reach around for that sort of money.

Would it be possible to have a clearer message on a listing for when an item is sold? Something like a “SOLD” stamp mark appear over the listings pics or similar?

I’ll post some photos of my case tomorrow - similar layout to @Jez_Armstrong’s - I cut a couple of slots through the base of the foam and then thread the strap through so it wraps around the underside of the foam then meets back up top and buckles/velcroes over whatever item it’s securing.

I'd just advise to be cautious, I've recently been sold an M910a via whatsapp & got exactly what I'd paid for (paypal safe), also been asked by a couple of forum members to use friends & family to pay, I checked their feedback & decided the transaction was small enough to risk it given the feedback they already had. My preference is usually PP good & services, sometimes it's worth considering the options.

"Unknown Brand" but it's definately "Genuine" and "not a clone"...

hoping to go pew somewhere this month… will probably see how the standard/stock one holds up before I switch out… hoping that it should be ok for its first outing 😱🙌🏻

every time I post a wanted ad . Red flags every where. should have a beware section for regular users for awarenes . should name users that act sus 🤨

There is an option to 'Hide' (delete) completed adverts. Depends if you want to keep them to remind you of the sale details.

For those who have the DE mags, changing the gas router for the GM ones eliminates the DE mag issues. I've put a 250mm barrel in mine, next up is an autobot and omega nub, a GM v3.5 bolt with the stronger nozzle return spring and a FEDA valve when they come back in stock soon. In case anyone gives a toss, all of that added cost and it is still markedly cheaper than an equivalent TM and personally, I think it shoots very respectably. I have zero regrets in getting this over a vastly more expensive TM that would likely still need the same aftermarket parts.

What would you call a gun modified to be shit?

Ive no idea but welcome to the forum and well done, and thank you, for following the rules. 👍😁

Generally 60-70% of the new price. Maybe less as they're two toned.

Yeah, it's hard because I first went to Worthing Airsoft in about 2005ish and have known some of the guys for almost 20 years, but the past few months have been pretty rough and have got me thinking about alternatives. I've tried all the sites near me and the only one I don't think I'd go back to is Dogtag, so I have options once I have my own car.

Even if you had been single-handedly ruining the enemy team, there would no excuse for him to behave that way. Far too many sites are run or marshalled by people who should never be doing so. Maybe it is time to find another site?

I would've understood it more if I was like... singlehandedly ruining the enemy team, but the reality was I had spent the entire morning doing bugger-all because other people on my team decided to spawn camp, which then wasn't dealt with. Also combine the fact that me and my friends have been singled out and split up for months now I'm just starting to feel like they actively don't want me there. And of course, as you said, it's a woodland site that allows people to use ghillies with bolt actions or DMRs, which is what I was using so I'm not breaking any rules nor going against the spirit of the game.

Having recovered from the band's 25th Birthday gig last weekend, I set off to Airsoft Plantation for a day of airsoft. Around 140 players were present. We started with a rarity for AP, a capture the flag game. In the first iteration, the defenders (blue) were protecting a flag that they had positioned in the mortar pits, while we (red) had to get a hand onto it. The defenders had two lives while we had infinite regens by moving 30m back. This was a fast paced game with us working as a team to break down the defence, which we did very efficiently and effectively. The SR47, despite being a little low on power, was reaching out and touching heads that appeared over the berms. After we had achieved the objective, the game was turned around; again, our teamwork and communication paid off and we put up a coordinated defence, which the attackers struggled to break down, taking 50% longer to achieve the objective. After a return to the safe zone to mag up, we set off for a two stage game in which we were the defenders. The blue team, who started at the border, had to get into the village, find a case containing a smoke grenade and then transport it to the DEA base, where they had to get it inside the plane and set the smoke grenade off. They had infinite regens on a buddy 30m behind them, while we had two lives in the village and two anywhere the other side of the firebreak. The fight in the village was epic; I started near the pond and, again, was part of a coordinated and communicative team that held the enemy up for a long time until we were eventually overrun. Pulling back to the other side of the village, I engaged in another fight against the attackers before being hit again, whereupon I headed for the DEA base and concealed myself in a favourite bush from where I got a lot of hits, including a fabulous one on a chap who was just about to throw a grenade and promptly dropped it at his own feet, taking out a couple of his colleagues :). However, after shooting one lad, I heard him telling those near him where I was as he walked back to find someone to regen on; I was then quite quickly taken out after a short firefight with a couple of attackers, although one of them also had to go back and regen. I fell back to join my few remaining colleagues who, having been pushed back from the plane, were trying to prevent the enemy reaching it. Despite rapidly diminishing numbers, we held them off for a considerable time until they managed to achieve their objective in a time of 52 minutes. After lunch, the two stage game was reversed. Working well as a team, we stormed into the village, taking out the defenders fairly rapidly despite them putting up a hard fight. After locating the smoke grenade in its case, we launched what developed into a three pronged attack on the DEA base, with the strongest group, of which I was part, taking the case and its smoke grenade by the longest route via Swaziland. Pushing rapidly towards the DEA base, whose defenders had already been whittled down by those who had taken more direct routes, a small group made a sprint for the plane and set off the smoke grenade inside it. Our time was considerably shorter than that of the blue team. After another return to the safe zone to mag up, we set off for another flag based game. We started at the border and had to both defend a flag located in the casino and get a hand on another in the DEA base. The blue team, who started at Swaziland, had to defend the flag in the DEA base and get a hand on the one in the casino. Each side had five medics, who were the only people who could regen casualties. We decided to split the team into two groups; approximately two thirds of the team, including three medics, would set off for the DEA base, while the rest of us defended the casino. A group of us positioned ourselves in the village so that the enemy could not move through it. However, they never came anywhere near it so, eventually becoming aware of some fighting to our left rear, we moved towards that, intercepting some of the blue team as they attacked the casino. Just as we fought them off, our attacking group penetrated the DEA base and a player got a hand on the flag. It was a really good day of well organised and well played airsoft. Despite losing every game, the blue team players played really well; however, we played as a team, which made the difference. Weapons used: Hurricane/G&P SR47 DBoys AKMS ASG Commander XP18 (CO2)

I'm going to have to be critical today, or I'd feel like a fraud, so it's a bit of a spicy one today; I will always be impartial and call it like I see it, even if I'm friends with a lot of the staff at a site. I went to Worthing Airsoft today and the weather was fantastic; very little wind and it was about 14ish celcius, so almost optimal conditions for gas gun sniping. I said I would use my mk12 MWS, set up as a DMR, until I ran out of .4s and then I'd switch over to my m700. Took a while to get the power where I wanted it, but between 1.8 - 1.83J was where I got it, so right up near the limit and pretty consistent. I wanted to play all day today as it's been a while since I have for a variety of reasons, so I gassed and filled my mags and headed up for the safety brief. First point of criticism here as I got split up from my friend again. We like pairing up and linking in with another pair and usually try and be on the other side to the rest of the regular players to make sure there's a bit of balance, but then we got split up again and I'm getting really pissed off with it. The other, large group of regulars who tend to stick together basically never get split up; it's always the four of us who get split up instead. The morning game was a mess. They put the spawns far too close to each other and then gave different messages to each team. Our team was told that a part of the site was off limits, because if we pushed into there from spawn we'd end up on top of the enemy spawn, but the enemy team was told no such thing so they pushed through that part of the site. Then our team started doing it as well and it was a messy spawn camp that my friend said went on for ages. They did eventually break out, but by this point we had largely done all the objectives. We had found the mad scientist, (a guy dressed in like a fancy dress hazmat suit), captured him, escorted him all the way around the site and brought him to the tower where he had to "heal" one of the marshalls. By the end, the blues had just given up on trying to push out and a lot went for an early lunch. The only two deaths I had were from people going out of bounds, one sneaking through the area that the yellows were told was out of bounds, and one guy was waaaaaaaaay out of bounds when I was on the other side of the site. The marshalling in the morning game was essentially non-existent and it never should've gone the way it did. Furthermore, one of the marshalls decided to have a go at me after I set up to defend the tower area after I got shot from out of bounds on the other side of the site. On my way to respawn I saw our team bringing the scientist to the tower, so when I respawned back in I took up a defensive position that I like. The marshall had a go at me, saying I'm always there and how ghillies ruin airsoft and how he's going to run games where no ghillies are allowed because I was ruining the game. First, I had only just got there as I spent the rest of the game to that point taking an overwatch position on the area around where the mad scientist was, then sneaking around the other side of the site and shooting blues in the back. Second I had actually done very little all morning because of how the blues were being spawncamped relentlessly, and not by ghillies as we were all out trying to find stuff to do and having an uneventful morning because we didn't want to spawn camp; especially with how overcast it was today it's very easy to remain concealed even wearing regular DPM. And thirdly, with how the site is set up, combined with how much it bushes up, there are large swathes of the site that are quite simply unplayable with a 30m MED, so I'm limited on where I can go as it is. Anyway, after the relative shitshow that was the morning, the afternoon games were a bit simpler and worked better. The spawns were put far away from each other, though the blue team spawn was very close to three of the five bases that had to be captured in the first five base domination game. Somehow we managed to capture the base that was just down the hill from their spawn, which the marshalls were surprised at and said we shouldn't have taken that, but they had 3 of the other bases, so they won the game. There were some great firefights and I managed to get some great long distance shots with the m700, as I swapped over at lunch time. The next game was an old school attack and defend on the tower area and we were attacking. I crawled on my belly behind a bunch of knee-high foliage to a spot I knew would have a good angle into the tower itself, covering both one of the main doors and also a crawl-space style half-door a bit further back. From there I got a LOT of hits and nobody had any idea I was there; I've missed using the m700 with how quiet it is! Anyway, the next game we swapped over... both sides and teams. Me and a friend got balanced onto blues, because at this point quite a few blues had gone home, so we had round #2 of attacking. I did exactly the same thing I did to the blue team to the yellow team and it worked just as well. It was a lovely, filthy little spot and I love attacking the tower area from that side because I can get to it undetected as long as I low crawl for about 80m though or behind some foliage. So that was me for the day. Played all day for once, so that was nice, and very much enjoyed the afternoon. Didn't enjoy the morning game like I usually do and didn't enjoy getting moaned at by a marshall for literally no reason, but at least the afternoon was good fun. I think I'll be using the m700 for a while as I don't want to get .43s for the MWS yet because I recently upgraded my PC's video card and that wasn't cheap; I've still got a bag of .45s and then an unopened 1kg bag of .48s, so sniping is going to be the way I play for a while, especially since the warmer weather makes the m700 so much better. Hoping next game day is a bit better than today and hoping the weather holds up now that we are in May, but I think the site is really getting difficult now to play with an MED as it's bushing up a lot with how wet it has been and now how sunny it has been the past few weeks at least. I will keep using guns with an MED because I like the challenge, I like excuses to use my pistol more and I like the long distance shots, but it's going to get very challenging for the next few months.

Yeah, don't run maintenance gas through your gun. It's great for storing your mags after a game day as the higher silicone content keeps the o-rings nice and lubed, but vent it out and refill with regular gas before shooting because as @Chev Chelios said, the higher silicone content will get on the hop rubber and stop it from shooting well.

Have you got his username? I can check it out (still have moderator powers innit haha). Or PM me with them if you'd rather keep it off the books.

1911's have terrible gas capacity. TMs are the best 1911 because of the low weight plastic slide, but even TMs struggle to fire more than a single loads worth of bb's. It's likely you will need to lube the slide as TMs can be quite dry out of the box. A dry slide will also increase gas usage to persuade a dry slide to move. Also if you are constantly firing it in a short amount of time, the mags and gas get very cold, which means it gets far weaker and prevent the slide from locking back. The warmer the mags, the higher power the gas inside is. TMs do not have silent fill valves so gas does escape when filling. This is perfectly normal. ------------ Lube the slide with silicon oil, don't constantly use 1911 gas pistols with rapid fire and I am sure it will lock back on empty every time. Readjust your expectations, 1911s are cool, but the small gas capacity has always been a problem and you will need to regas for every load of bb's you fire.

I'll now bore you to death, though, I've a fair bit of experience with GBB MP7 brands (minus KWA). VFC - You should only really stick to the Gen2 (most if not all retailers stock them now unless you get shafted in a dodgy sale). It's full scale with all the proper trades to make people like me happy and it performs very nicely out of the box. It can mag-dump on auto however don't expect the best when its colder. The internals are relatively straight forward and they're fine longevity wise as long as you don't abuse them. There is also the infamous "rear plate crack", as to which seems the only common problem so far, however, VFC sell replacements and aftermarket aluminium ones are available, though, as long as you stick to propane all year long it shouldn't give you any grief. My only personal dislikes are the rather sloppy controls (whilst all MP7's are mushy this one seems to be worse) and the hop unit is very twitchy when using lower weight BB's, though it may be a me problem. The magazine baseplates (and the nub on the follower that keeps it in place) are also incredibly flimsy so try not to drop them. If you do end up breaking a nub, you can drill a small 2mm hole and insert a 2.5mm plug (can just be ground flat) tap into it, then add a small M2.5mm grub screw into it (ideally with some Green Loctite). Tokyo Marui - The TM is pretty much one of the all timers in terms of GBB SMG's. Whilst it comes with the correct trading, it is 8% smaller than the VFC (or its real counterpart). I don't mind it as it makes it just a little more tactile and the magazines fit in my pouches easier, however, people with large hands and gloves may struggle slightly. Performance wise, its more than likely the best you'll ever get as its punchy, has a decent range and accuracy and it will pretty much auto mag-dump any time of the year. Internally, there is the infamous "inside shell crack". This can be prevented by using the sling swivel (which absorbs and dissipates energy from the bolt) and keeping the gas on propane or 144a- my one went on for over 2 years with little sign of wear/damage. If you get it, you will more than likely notice it as the gun with either become very unpredictable when it fires, or just stop working completely, and there's not much you can do about it. There's no spares and no real way to repair it. I also noticed that the bolt catch would only work with the stock collapsed after about a year. My personal dislikes don't go too far with it, I'm not a fan of the reverse bolt release and the weight as to which is can hop is quite limited (about a 0.28g) max. The piston cup would also swell a lot, causing jams. There were suggestions to just dump a load of silicone oil into it, but whilst it works, its unhealthy for pretty much every other aspect of the gun and it doesn't last long. WE SMG8 + Rice MP7 - The SMG8 undoubtedly is quite an ugly sight. It's quite cumbersome and clunky. Performance wise its quite crap. It'll get by fine on semi but auto mag-dumps are quite an achievement to complete, and it really will not like the cold. The hop unit is not the best and its quite hard to adjust sometimes (it also requires a tool). Aside from that, it's efficient enough. The Rice MP7 is also fine, it feels a bit nicer and its a little more user friendly. It performs well enough to be enjoyable, and it can auto-dump, but certainly not greatly. It will handle relatively cold temperatures but don't expect much. The range is a little rubbish and the accuracy is fine. These 2 MP7s are prone to breakdowns quite often, as they are internally made of the finest cheese, however, should you identify a broken part, WE have used all the worlds natural resources to create every spare part so you can easily just replace it and keep chugging along, which I suppose is rather nice, though, its much more of a headache than the potential issues that arise from the TM or the VFC (though the headache a TM gives when its broken is arguably worse). Basically just get a VFC or a TM and don't ramp up the gas pressure, you should be fine.

Bought off here, arrived today, modelled by me to show @sofieb 😁 Oh, it's a Warrior Elite 901.

I'm swapping away from the M/L rubbers in the rifles, as they do not last very long and frankly seem to suck up every single bit of crud and amalgamate with it. Silverback GBB ones are lasting at least 75-100% longer.

Before I got distracted was building m723 mog and m727 movie rifles

Posted in the ad they want what they paid for it, which was still a rip off. Although I think this one is more down to naivety than deliberately trying to take the piss
