Hi, I'm new to these forums but have been shooting pellets, bb's, and a while ago S&M model 19 with 38 special ammo at Wisley. I am now physically challenged so can no longer carry on so I have a couple of guns in the classifieds but I also have a couple of plate carriers, ammo of various weights, scrim and all kinds......so if anyone needs that sort of stuff a donation of some money to the Dorset Air Ambulance and the RNLI that would secure it for you. PM me for exact details as I won't split it apart from the plate carriers. I'm truly gutted I can't play in mud, trees and bushes and snipe 😢 An aviation/military historian by brain and a Rush n Thin Lizzy styled guitarist and can talk the above until I'm horse 🤣 Be well, be lucky and most of all be happy 😊

I’ve never felt nerves like knowing I have a classified ad up and seeing responses in this thread 😭😂

So last night I took a trip down to Future Survival in Gravesend for some mid week CQB. On arrival I got signed in and found a free spot in the quite small safezone to sort out my kit. There was around 15 players there and while I didn't find myself struggling for space, it did feel a bit crowded. After kitting up it was off to chrono. This was done quickly and without fuss. Interestingly I did notice on their site rules the limits are slightly different depending on bb weight used, 340fps (1.07j) for .2g bbs or 310fps (1.12j) for .25g bbs. Tbh though the difference is that small that it doesn't really make any difference Games played were a mixture of types including deathmatch and king of the hill and the turn around between games was nice and quick but didn't feel rushed. One rule I did fall foul of was when it comes to grenades. Their rules state "no pyro or flash bang grenades" which I took to mean disposable paper pyros, but actually includes BFGs. Something which I only found out after tossing one into a room. The marshal did say he'd forgotten to mention it in the briefing though. The only other negative was some of the other players. Quite a few (on both teams) seemed to have a difficulty understanding what dead men don't talk means, fortunately though they could easily be ignored. TL,DR: It's a well run site and I'd say the game zone is quite well laid out and IMO only needs a couple of tweaks to improve it. A solid 3.5 out of 5 overall

Defending Atropia.

Not the straightest cuts and it's only wave foam as a temporary until I get a proper case with shadow foam. But....

Good evening all. New to this forum but not new to airsoft. I've been playing for a few years now mostly at ether Alpha 55 airsoft or No Mans Land. I also do a bit of Tech work. IMG_20240408_103527_777.webp

Jesus, the amount of times I've bumped into you and had no idea! 😂

That's ok bud. It's better than my cuts at work and that's with a chop saw. Lol I like the way you have accommodated the glock so it locks into the lid.👍

Yep, fair enough. You win that one. Lol

Pfft... first world issues, try 406 miles from darkest Scotland.

Huge box for a teeny tiny AEG part(pound coun for scale)... Cocking lever for my L85A3, all the way from Germany.

Perhaps Chinese seconds are like Chinese lumens, or airsoft metres.

To tell you the truth, I completely forgot about it 🤣 The tape job is working for the time being, but not got it out to a field yet

You're right, there is a limited number of OEMs but much like the screen analogy used earlier, the difference lies in what goes around the basic guts of the motor. Be that the quality of the bearings/magnets/copper or the firmware in the ESC there will be a difference based on the market cost of the items. Do I think that Warhead motors are overpriced? A bit. But they were the first to market with a well made product and responsiveness to customer feedback. They went down well with the early adopter crowd and what we are seeing here is the upshot of the market reacting to that. The OEMs knocking out cheaper versions of the same basic components just with varying levels of sophistication added on by the "brand".

Let's see of this will work now.... Some pics of my loot... Two posters, which I then got autographed and authenticated. Now I just need to get them framed... Almost everyone signed in black, but had a laugh with David Hewlett who asked what colour I would like his autograph done in, and I said I would leave it up to him to choose... so he went with gold and joked that it was in character for Rodney. Some screen-used props with certificates of authenticity... Group photo from Saturday with all the cast and me in SG1 gear (and my Tokyo Marui P90, then solo photo with Joe Flanigan from Sunday when I was in my "what if" cosplay And finally some pics of me posing in front of the stargate props on Sunday in my "what if" outfit. Unfortunately I didn't gey a chance to pose on Saturday in my SG1 outfit due to crowds and the significant delays with the autograph lines, which I'm pretty annoyed about, but oh well.... Ah, we did meet briefly on the Friday, and I did look at the collector cards, and I was tempted. It's very possible I was the guy you thought... I was wearing a Sabaton t-shirt and was weighed down with several bags containing mead I had bought that day as I was heading back to the car. Lol. Luck you XD Yep... =P

I have a Double Bell KAC PDW; it can run on Nuprol Stanags.

oh fuck nuggets. You know I’ve looked at it countless times and not worked out what was wrong. I’ve put desert warrior about 3 other times but the most important one was wrong 😭 thank you for pointing that out!

Yeah, my PTS mags won't fit but I have a shorty and full size STANAG that are fine. Not sure of the make but I think they're CYMA

When I still had the E&L I had a combat union hop unit inside and the nozzle was very tight on the cylinder head.. I didn't have power loss nor any feeding issue that wasn't magazine related. Mind you mine was a gen 1 CU hop. Maybe it's tight on your setup as well and this being tight prevents the nozzle from sealing from time to time. If you're in for a fancy (and expensive) hop up I would suggest the begadi ones, they are fantastic and you're not limited to ONE nozzle. They list compatible guns on the website for both options (green: cyma spec, blue: E&L spec)

Yep you could end up in the hall of shame 😂

I decided to bite the bb and paid them a visit last night. I've put a post on the 'how did your airsoft day go' thread so I'll keep it short here. A nice little site which is well run. The only negatives were that they don't allow bangs and some of the dead players giving people's positions away. I'd definitely visit again but I don't know how often they change the layout as it could get a little boring if they don't

New signage. I only made the steel frames.

Say hello next time :).

No. The mag it comes with looks slightly different to a regular M4 mags but it'll take M4 magazines too.

Magpul bits for my MWS

A printer? Wife won't let me have one of them. Ive got airsoft, pc gaming, lego and warhammer to hobby with. A printer will just be a death sentence for me. I'd have too much to print.

FFS I told her not to put that on fecking facehook!

Reuploaded the image links, so they should work again

Not to mention that's not a "M4 stubby". It's a KAC PDW

Aye, but she's a keeper...

I hope you realise how damn inconsiderate of you it is, having your site 150 odd miles away! Good luck with it.

It's not so much the length of the motor that's a problem, more that the space between the bearing point and the back of the motor shell is less on a brushless motor. If the motor was shorter but still the same sort of profile then you'll get the same problem.

1,1,1-Trichloroethane or GTFO!

Second pic down on Page 9 of the manual, red and black to the motor, the two wire thin black stuff goes to the two sides of the trigger switch. Job jobbed. Make sure you get the right two terminals on the switch though. Otherwise you'll be pulling the trigger to STOP it firing!

Right? Everyone loves brown parcel tape.

My bad 👎

Made the hour and a bit trip down to gunman airsoft for a change of scene as the local site staff had all upped and buggered off to ibiza. It was only my second visit in a year to gunman and as usual it was a well run day and they made sure to take breaks, encourage people to drink and provide water if necessary. From my own point of view it was a great day. we played the woodland side in the morning and switched to the buildings/open area side for the afternoon. games flowed well and for a change i was on a team not getting rolled into oblivion. We had a guy named Nel (firefighter) who was trying to organise and encourage some great team play and that makes a huge difference, especially on a regular skirmish day. Add in finally my wolverine mtw decided to perform as i hoped it would and the combination off ess crossbows, valhalla gasket and ex fog unit provided a rare fog free day (may they continue). So a happy airsoft sunday for a change.

I have no experience with their online or communications services, however, I thought I'd visit them a few weeks ago for the first time and I wasn't particularly impressed. Their physical shop is nice and they seem to stock the newest and coolest goodies. But that's as far as it goes really. None of their RIF's have price tags, which I suppose is understandable given their "comparison price" ethic, but it'd still be nice to get a ballpark estimation of the price there and then rather than walking back and fourth asking for assistance. Their staff is ultra lousy, I was asking about the price of a RIF and the guy at the till corner seemed to half-ignore me and was more keen on talking to his co-worker about some other rubbish. They also have a tendency to completely ignore any phone rings (I counted 3), even when not pre-occupied with something else so that may explain why no one gets answers and finally they don't really seem to know what they're talking about... naturally. Whilst I still did walk away with a VFC Glock 19 £30 off retail price, it wasn't a very interesting visit (and also since it has a connected site, when the players wander round at lunch it REEKS of the classic airsofter BO). Hey-ho, it was only 1 visit so it could be completely different next time I may consider going but it wasn't the greatest first impression.

Just finished my new sub-£100 ghillie setup and I'm quite pleased with the results. Wanted a boonie + cloak setup to be lightweight, breathable, easy to move in, easy to crawl without picking up the entire forest floor and not getting caught on everything. I'll be using it with m81 woodland BDUs underneath, a pair of OD fingerless gloves and camo paint for my face to keep good airflow around my head to prevent eyepro fogging and keep general sweating to a minimum. The webtex vest I just cable tied directly onto, but the boonie hat I poked a bunch of holes in with an awl and then used the holes to cable tie material onto it. I hate the rather prevalent over-engineered all-over bush suits, so a boonie + cloak setup is far better for me! Also, the webtex vest has elastic veggie loops, so if I'm at a larger or more serious event I can put natural foliage all over it as well. It's totaled up as such: - Webtex Concealment Vest ~ £40 (but I already had this buried in my airsoft stuff) - Novritsch screen camo set ~ £28 - Novritsch raffia ~ £13 - Teesar boonie w/ neck flap - £16 Total ~ £97

Hoping this will help locals give this site consideration for a visit, sorry for the wall of text. Armageddon Airsoft: The Woodland - £20 walk on. First time at this site depsite being on my doorstep and I have nothing negative to say about anything within the sites control. The site had a raffle for a CYMA Deagle AEP on the day at £2.50 per ticket. Staff were super friendly and chatted with all players all day (incuding the owner) even getting involved in the games later on. No issues with hit taking or similar. Everyone attending was there to have fun. Three dogs mooching around the safe area at all times is always appreciated. Longer break between game modes due to the warmer weather we've been having. We started out with a 'capture the objective' game mode where teams had to activate/de-activate lights on an objective box between the two team spawns. Our team were second to the objective but handily dispatched the other team and defended thee objective as the enemy team declined to use the better sight lines afforded from their side of the field. Great comms across all players. Second game was an attack/defend scenario further back in the site. Defenders with 3 lives, attackers with unlimited. The defenders who last the longest win. We attacked first getting bogged down (quite literally) in some places due to stubborn defenders who were eventually relieved. Again, no issues with hit taking or similar. Switching sides meant we were defending and we had elected to not reload our mags leading to a overly long delay into the attack as the attackers filled up. We outlasted the attackers despite some minor confusion over how much of the site was playable (given it's literally a block of woodland). Regardless, we held out and won. By lunchtime, it was 2-0. Sadly, players left during lunch but that can't be helped. Teams shuffled randomly to assist balance. After lunch was capture the flag. The flag was in a very exposed middle area between the two spawns. I'm pretty sure the bolt action players could reach each other spawn. The field was super wide but narrow if that makes sense. Mostly my focus was on the right flank as it had some heavy shrubs/bracken offering concealment and limited structures for cover. After fumbing a pyro throw and being killed by a likewise reply I went left from spawn and moved through the pyramid style barricades and log walls that had been constructed. After 4 or 5 clean semi-auto kills the action on my flank died down and game end was called with the enemy team getting the win. 2-1. It was during this game that half my charging handle decided to drop off. Amazing. The final game I played was 'duo kill confirmed' where everyone had one armband which was your 'life'. If you got hit, you counted to 10. If, within that 10 seconds, anyone came to claim your armband (and you were left without one) you were out. If you counted to 10 and no one claimed it, you were back in. The spicy rule to this game; if you killed someone and took their band, it's a extra life. In theory, you could have as many lives as players on the field if you killed them all and took their bands. If the enemy you killed had multiple bands, you can only take one while they count down from 10. For this game mode, myself and the player I was teamed with purposely backed ourselves into the corner of the play area so that we only had two angles to watch. We were engaged in a lengthy trade off with another duo resulting in nothing but wasting ammo and the enemy duo retreating as well as discovering strange hop issues arising from both our rifles. Fuck. After a few minutes of fuckery, we managed to get our rifles settled in time for TWO separate teams joining forces against us, pushing from both sides. This was our Alamo and my excuse to break out all of the pyro I had brought. One of the enemy split away and pushed to our left who I 'killed' several times but was never close enough for me risking running to take his band. My partner was in a slightly elevated tower watching the mid and right, delaying the other three enemies as much as physically possible. Eventually the enemy on my left got close enough I could just throw pyro at him to get the kill and delay his attack but still not close enough to take his band. Then it happened so quick, my partner was hit, I killed his killer, I was killed, partner was back in - killing my killer allowing me back in, rinse and repeat. The enemy pushed closer all the time this was going on and eventually ended with myself and my partner being out and we watched the final two teams constantly trade fire two feet away from each other while laughing before calling it a draw realising it was fruitless. Negative: In small areas it was boggy, almost lost a boot at one point Also, nettles suck which I knelt in a few times plus thorns. Nothing new to woodlands players. Positive: What a great day, will definitely be going back here. Owners, site, level of play, game modes and players were fantastic. Can't recommend enough.

What an utter cunt.

How was my day? REALLY FUCKING HOT. But good.

Isopropanol flex incoming 🙂
