Hello lovely people, When I previously 'softed I wrote a series of (at the time) well received reviews and guides as part of Team KGB. Since moving up north I started 'softing again and decided to start these 9nce more My hope is to provide honest, useful scribblings about kit, loadouts etc. I don't pretend to be an expert so if you find something wrong please let me know. I personally prefer to read stuff rather than videos. Lots of content planned so please keep checking back https://fraggle-soft.co.uk/

Fucking joke thrown out to grab a few headlines.

So 2 more additions to the British collection. And thanks to Ed for this the pistol. WE Browning MK3 L9A1 DS And also a L119A1 CQB finally put together, painted and weathered.

My ex-girlfriend is standing at the opposite end of the museum from me! I want to go say hi but there's just so much history between us.

I'd have just gone with the hybrid.

Is that even possible ?🤔

That's my point, those who are interested have those opportunities and those who aren't will do anything they can to get out of it. Also please tell me I'm not the only one getting Starship Troopers vibes from this

Just another lazy attempt to divert people away from just how badly successive tory governments have fucked the country up. Unfortunately though I don't think labour will do much better

God how tired and desperate must they be to try and peddle this old rope? I am always skeptical of people who push national service in the name of building 'community'. If only it were that fucking easy! If we are interested in building community and stopping the disintegration of 'civil society' we must start much earlier and rethink the core values that have been rammed down people's throats. As Thatcher infamously said 'there is no such thing as society'. This disastrous myth, the first commandment of neoliberalism, insists that we are individuals first and only. We must support ourselves, we are on our own. People been fed this shite for a long time now. How can a society hold this toxic credo at its core and then demand national service in the name of solidarity and community, some nebulous greater good that they have little to no real share in? How can those people who are richest, who have benefited most from a prior era of relative stability and prosperity demand anything from the first generations in a long time projected to be far worse off than their parents in almost every metric? It reeks. Youth clubs have been decimated for over a decade. Even third spaces for adults seem to be slowly drying up. Wages are stagnant even while corporate greed continues to squeeze us. Childcare costs are beyond extortionate. AI is apparently coming for everyone's job. Housing is in total shambles. Our rivers and seas are being pumped full of shite... like its an actual fucking shit show! The caliber of leadership has utterly plummeted. They are out of ideas, just throwing shit like this at the wall now to see what might stick. Labour won't do much better but I think seeking a bit of stability and taking stock of the situation without a fucking new leader every 6 months would be a start.

Some photos might help as, at the moment, we have no idea which make it is and which springs have boinged away.

I find it funny that the boomers who would mostly likely vote for this never did National Service, yet somehow think it will solve the problems that our youth face. Introducing it would be a further burden on low income persons, by reducing income earning hours. Cost of living, lack of housing and low wages in this country result in the low standards of mental health in our youth. National service would likely make it worse. We already have voluntary programs for people who are able to do them. Leave it at that.

I've looked at it now. I have regarded. Although i am old so by tonight i may have forgotten that i have regarded and therefore it has been disregarded. Cool.

Yes. i know. before you start on the tirade of abuse and i should have bought a TM blah blah, its the boys. Not mine. Mine is a WE and probably going to do the same thing as they all come from the same bucket of chinesium.... So. Boy has a VM9. great little gas pistol, it has served him well. Unfortunately it has worn itself out. It fires but the trigger wont reset. So i guess i'm looking for spare parts for it as a) he bought it with his saved up money therefore has sentimentals and b) i cant bring myself to bin it. So......Can anyone find or know the whereabouts of a parts diagram for said toy, and with Nuprol being nuprol, am i better off just banging my head against my desk?

My girlfriend dressed up as a policewoman and told me I was under arrest on suspicion of being good in bed. After 2 minutes all charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence.

Using logic does that mean any MP who hasn't served will be debarred from holding their position? I mean all the fascist undertones aside I'm sorta down with that....

That is a shame; too many sites are not delivering what they should. I think there are some AWA regulars on here; if there are, it will be interesting to see their responses.

"Volunteer work" sounds like the classic out of touch Tory sentiment that reflects those who had the privilege of not needing to earn money because their parents were more than wealthy to cover them. On top of that, it's just a way to legalise not paying people for their services and make up for the shortfall.

Hi. That can be the case. Some of my mags were a wee bit narrow but 30secs with a Dremel will just open it out enough to use a speed loader. 🙂

This announcement has 30,000 military placements for 18 year olds in 2025, but the ONS statistics have 1,577,000 16-17 year olds Under 2% would be able to fit into military national service, and the remaining over one and a half million would have 25 days of ‘community service’ What’s the military placement? 25 days as well? Doing a course ? Great - make people do something for a month to supposedly learn life skills and social values that the community and education hasn’t over almost two decades https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpddxy9r4mdo.amp https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/timeseries/jn5p/lms

I’ve got to ask myself would I want my kids to experience and see the same things I did in the military and conclusively the answer has to be no. Will this appeal the Tory voters of course it will and I doubt will find new voters for them. I’m conflicted by this proposal as I’m in favour of young people having responsibility and seeing actions have consequences. But I’m also against coercion into joining the military, it has to be a voluntary thing. I think we should let the young decide their future as we won’t be around to see it again though are we equipping them with the right tools to make informed decisions. I mean this as a society not at an individual level.

I suspect this is more symptomatic of what remains of the Tory party throwing policies out and seeing what sticks lest they end up in the queue at the local job centre on the 5th of july. Whether or not there is any intention of actually re-establishing national service is entirely different. Whether or not national service cures all the UK's ills is entirely different BUT if it ends up giving young people some basic life skills and drive rather than the belief that they should be an influencer or hang round stabbing each other or some such shite its probably not a bad thing.......

Plenty of other countries have national service, and quite a few have reintroduced it within the last few years. I don't think it's a bad thing by any means, but I don't think it will be cheap, and I don't think it's likely to be something that's going to happen within the next five years (not on any meaningful scale anyway). The logistics of it all as well as the need for personnel to train these national servicemen are likely to be major stumbling blocks.

Hello and welcome, plenty of knowledge and support here

Hi fella.👋 Enjoy the forum. Never a dull day 🙂 Regards

Ahoy and welcome.

I too have regarded

You could try to find the equivalent WE part on KYAirsoft. See how similar it is.

'You're home early Dear.' 'Boss told me to 'go to hell' so here I am.'

He seems to have created a new advert for it and deleted the original one: https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/m4-combat-machine-semi-and-full-auto_i61221 The price has dropped and the output is now 320 to 390+ fps, whatever that means. It's almost like he is making it up as he goes along.

If you know what you're doing, you won't buy it.

Which one has a chance of regeneration then?

Neither. I made it for the event. It's a Fast helmet from eBay with polypropylene stuck around the edge and finished with car trim. The code discs are from eBay as well. It's based on the Imperial helmets from the Andor series.

This works best when told to someone. Young children are best if they don't know what repeat means.😉 Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who was left. Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who was left. Pete and Repeat were in a boat.............. I'll get me coat....

Going old school. Last build before summer. Also my my favourite Glock mod. Clean and easy. Glocks was Sexy AF whitout rmrs and lights Miss the 90ies G17 gen2 with steel slide. Built on a TM

It’s a bit of a shame that they’ve abandoned the steel slide, but I’m guessing from a sales point of view, it’ll make it more competitive with the VFC and TM versions. I’m after an MOS Glock 17, so I’ll wait for some reviews on this before deciding whether to go with the GHK or the VFC. I’ll also have to weigh up the cost of the whole package, because I’ll be wanting a steel slide.

I signed up to an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothes. If I had any loose fitting clothes I wouldn't have signed up for an exercise class.

Devon and Cornwall have cancelled their planned joint '60s & '70s retro music festival after a row over whether to put The Jam or Cream on first...

Valid comments however Army made a nice clone of the recoil M4's (I've got one here that works a treat) and CYMA knocked out a recoil AK which was slightly better than the TM version because it took normal AEG AK mags straight out the box. I still think TM lead the way as all the other innovations have either been expensive, failed or both. Systema PTW, ICS split gearbox, GBLS, TOP shell ejecting AEG to name a few. Now it's unlikely TM will be reading this but just in case, hurry up and make a recoil G3 and stick a mosfet in the M4 recoil platform.

Wish they would update the NGRS Version, to include stop on empty like all the other NGRS Models.

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

I’ve had the VFC Gen 5 and I’ve still got the VFC 19X which has the same style grip and it does feel that little bit more comfortable to hold. That said, the Gen 3 isn’t exactly uncomfortable, but it’s nice to see that we’ll soon have a choice between the two.

Looks like it's the MOS version too. Whoops, even says it in the text haha. The Gen.2 feels good in my hands, I haven't held a 5 yet but wondering if that's because of the lack of finger groves?

So Day 1 of isolation, and day 10000000000 or something of lockdown in general, and I'm board. Whilst waiting for my new project rifle to come, and under orders not to spend any more money, I got jealous of the way real-steal ammo comes in nice neat boxes while we get ours in bottles and bags.

Latest rail version printed in bronze gold. Not a perfect match, but close enough to the lower frame.
