Mine came for the game show banzai (If anyone remembers it) on channel 4, Pat Sharp would compete against a genuine German in different challenges. Being the only German made it inevitable that I became Genuine German.

DavefromSkegness was taken .

VFC Spear LT in Bazooka Green VFC BCM MK2 8.5"

Mine originates from when i was young, dumb, and edgy enough to think it was a funny name. However it's surprisingly rarely taken so i kept using it and at this point it's just the name i use online. Kind of ironic that i'm simaltaneously using a pseudonym to remain anonymous online whilst keeping that name constant which aids recognition.

Being one of them 'earlier adopter' types, I was early in on interwebz back when being 'Roscoe' was enough to stand out on a chat list. When all the 'Johnny-come-latelies' started filling things up, I changed to Atomic Rooster as my online nom de guerre. Turns out I'd subliminally picked that up from the name of a Prog Rock band (my genre of choice, and yet I don't think I've ever heard any of their music). Still, other Atomic Roosters appeared occasionally, so had to go to something else... I think I've got the lightest touch of Tourette's syndrome, and used to say "Spooooons" a lot (pre Wetherspoons!), which highly amused my boss at the time, and so Rostok McSpoons became my new forum / gamer tag. Been using it for many. many years. I saw that old boss in a pub meet-up for the first time in about 20 years recently. As soon we saw each other.... "Spooooooons!"

Not much to say, I used to play an old game called Virtual On. Played it once when I was at a bowling alley and got hooked. Apharmd was one of the cooler mechs. Armed with a plasma SPAS-12 and lightsaber tonfas.

Lol, we'll done, I've often thought about starting a similar thread when I've seen some fairly obscure usernames. Mine came from being a young squaddie in the early eighties, my surname is Dewberry, & was a big lad from a young age (6ft at 11), bigger than the recruits around me, & would get lumbered with the biggest gun, gimpy or bren usually. Around the same time police academy came out at the cinema, next thing I know one of the DS made the comparison between me & the films character Tackleberry, big guy with the biggest gun, & they stopped calling me Dewberry, Tackleberry was born?

Honda CBR600F which I bought recently?

Tenuous link time.... Egon from Ghostbusters was kinda my hero and with my surname being rowley, I figured it was close enough to egon ronay (foodie type) to use it. I likes me food, me. ??

Back when I was a wee lad, I picked up the nickname Kipper because of the cartoon dog. I don't remember how it came about but I've used it on forums for ages (inc Arnies circa 2004 ?). I stuck the LM on the front because Kipper was taken; LM standing for LordMoose, which makes up part of the randomly generated eBay name I plumped for also about 20 years ago.

Brilliant day at Imperium - perhaps my bestestest airsoft day ever. It was one of their 'Cartel' games, with three factions (police, taskforce & cartel) all vying to prevent/control/run a drugs smuggling operation. The roleplaying element with specific RoE for each faction made the day feel really different from your typical skirmish without the eight hours lying in a trench of a milsim. A real highlight for me was leading a four man patrol that snuck into the cartel CP and pinched all the gear while they were out attacking another objective. By far the best bit of the day though, was that I think it's the first time I've gone the whole day without hearing any cheat calling. No one was accused of not taking hits. No one was accused of being hot. No dodgy medics, no hiding from 'nades behind bushes, no dead men talking. Just a really well played and well marshalled day.

I'm surrounded by Neanderthals ?

Current profile name was a gamer tag I used in Battlefield, my last profile I used my name gavinkempsell but managed to lock myself out of my profile & set this one up a few weeks ago. my CB handle in the 80's was miscellaneousman (god knows why) previous gamer tags were Manb@@bs, Manb@@bs3, Manboobs. I refuse to say why. ?

Took from the character of the same name in Aliens, been using it since about 2001, can't remember if the main forums then were UKAN or if old blue was still around.

Should have just gone all imersive stick a gillie suit on and shit your pants like the well trained pretend sniper elite soldier you are.

Gah, this is turning into an epic. I've gotta reorganize the entire garage to get the CBR in and I appear to have accumulated more crap than a crap magnet! I've spent all day sorting it out and on my second run to the dump! Like my airsoft stuff, I have too much of it. ? Wife's not happy either but meh, she'll live.?

Was playing a lot of Atlas Life and needed a funny bad guy name. Was inspired after watching Crank. In hindsight it was a headache as everyone in game that had seen the movie would just shout "fu*k you Chev Chelios" but it stuck as the same people I played stuff online with also played Airsoft.

Airsoft world showing stock ??

@Larryoutf is gone ? I wonder how many other profiles he has here ?

Decided to do some spraying today, finally managed to get the temperamental SG-1 from another thread running after some woes. Looking to get it out for a game tomorrow, all being well!

Just trying to keep it light and humourous. Where did your Airsoft/username come from? Nil points if it’s your actual name, sorry.

DOH, I remember thinking this new guys as addicted buying rifs as that jock bugger gavinkempsell (who's been quiet lately),at no point did I put 2 & 2 together ?‍♂️ @Shamal edit: sorry mate, I mentioned you, hadn't spotted your update, it won't even let me take your name down ffs. I'll pm you.☹️

Without knowing what you're currently shooting at to set a baseline, nobody can say for certain if 50 degree bucking would be suitable. Are you saying you're using an M120 spring or that your Evo III has got to have such a spring?

From Family Guy, and the Evil Monkey that lives in Chris closet. Plus its been my gamer handle on Planetside 1 and 2 and pretty much every game I ever play

I used to very much into archery ( which got me into airsofting, oddly enough) Used it ( or a derivative) for my user name across various forums

If anyone wants a cheap way to measure fps/joules there is a piece of software here which is safe to use and free. https://github.com/alanwestlake222/BB-Fps-Calc Just click on the "Release" link on the middle right of the page. Available for Windows or Linux. Would compile if for Macs but I haven't got access to one. Many regards

Eeh, first game after summer break went well. Nothing interesting to say about performance, I've had the shits all week and I'm not in top shape, but I'm glad I managed to play and not turn into a puddle of feces. Gun/gear wise, finally tested the new pdw and yeah, I'm happy with it. Throws 0.32s over there at 27 RPS with a reasonable degree of efficiency, considering it's running a 3t short stroke and a M95 spring.

My google’fu appears to be lacking. Thanks for the heads up, ordered with a few mags…comp / acro next ?

Absolutely brilliant show. My favourite was Lady 1 question

When I first joined arnies I saw loads of usernames with really cringeworthy stuff like leetsniperdeltaforcesas in them so I went for the opposite. Since then I've usually stuck with it

Not a big fan of forum names if I'm honest, I've always tried to use my actual name so people know who I am and it adds trust to sales ?

I just purchased a SAG ak kit from them, arrived in the uk within 3 days of ordering and cleared customs 3 days after that so pretty good in my experience.

Bought some T8 glock valve/router kits from them and while it took a little while to arrive they came no problem. Price wasn't awful either plus I got a little cool PEQ box keychain lol

Personally, never had an issue when buying anything but shipping is expensive so don't take the price per item as gospel, you can pay a huge fee in postage and I think it's mostly weight dependant.

Very slow to shop anything out. Don't expect anything quick. Also stock system isn't the best. Numerous things are marked in stock but they don't have them

I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't get an Oasis ticket.

Sounds like you should have strapped it to your zipper.

Thanks bud. Means alot. Yeah sure.

Always impressed by your collection, love the theme & the quality, can I see a closeup of your MP5 'embassy' set up please? I knocked one up best I could using DIY bits n bobs. My walls are full to bursting so focussing on 1/35 scale now

VFC Glock 19X in Tan and a E&C Glock 19X in black. Both are Gen 5. Internally the E&C is a TM clone. The E&C build quality reminds me of a TM with a Guarder slide fitted. It's head and shoulders above anything from WE, Raven, etc. The other big bonus is that they are about £95.

He's at it again... Hasn't even changed the email

Fucking useless/wonderful, ugly/classic, ultra-modern/dinobike... Fancied one myself until I saw what they reach now. I concur with Mr Borg, Gizza Go Mista! Love it TBH. I had a pal murdered riding one that exact colour. He was ex-Slaves and a workmate, a real loss. I drive/ride passed the spot he died at every Monday. If I bought one I'd have named it Fat Bob after said mate. Bloody silly how a machine prompts so many memories.
