,I was around 16 stone few years ago and over the years it been hard to shift the weight, I started running so I when airsoft with my son I could keep up and have fun without dying from exhaustion. So, over this year I have been running more and more, I started out slow from couch to 5K and in June I did my first race for life 10k event its so good getting across the finish line. I can now run the 10k distance without stopping and my current weight dropped to 13.4 stone at age 40 right now. Thanks.

Did blackout airsoft yesterday, been a few years since I've played but bought a couple bits to make the game easier. Had to pay in a disused mine, my tk45c was on fire with the hop change and barrel stabiliser like a laser, I think I surprised a few of the regulars. Mine the 1200 drum mag helped, however both the mag and rif ran out of juice near the end of the third game which was domination with a nuke in the middle. Mk23 was disappointing with the novritsch mags not feeding correctly, very tempted to buy a we g17 when I get my ukara back. Oh and I ran head first into a mine wall, to a trip to a&e was in order 😄 Would have been better to play outside, but the wind put a stop to that.

Great results, well done you ! Yep, I for one find that after a week of dealing with the public going out on a Sunday and shooting people is extremely therapeutic !

I dunno, price of tobacco these days......

I was hoping to avoid a triple post, but then I saw this. £800 for a ghillie suit

Good on you mate. So far, airsoft has only reduced the size of my bank balance. (Significantly)

Nice one mate, you have worked very hard for it clearly. Airsoft has so many health benefits, even being out and about in nature can reduce blood pressure, although some moments in airsoft don't always do that lol!. HIT! HIT! HIIIIIITTTTTTTT! 🤣 Cheers

Really commendable work! Your health and wellbeing seem to have improved greatly from playing yet there is such ignorance that airsoft can be hugely beneficial.

Bring it even if it doesn't Airsoft is 90% looking cool and 10% playing 😂

Tough day at Imperium. Nobody’s fault but it’s an open grassland site on the coast during a storm. If I hadn’t booked in advance because it was the last Ground War of the year, I wouldn’t have bothered going. Didn’t successfully hit a single person I aimed at all morning (although I did catch a few of their neighbours). Still enjoyed it at points though, as me and a pal managed to do some sneaky stuff collecting the missile objective without being spotted or indeed firing a shot. Still planning for the Battlelakes day on the 7th then I think I’ll have a couple of months off.

Today the lad and I were at an invitation-only day at Airsoft Plantation. Rather than the usual 150-200 players, there were forty of us, plus a group of playing marshals. Unfortunately, due to weather damage in the woods, the planned game could not take place; however, John, who runs the site, quickly came up with a set of alternatives that utilised the rest of the site. The day started badly for me, with my extremely old PTS/Ares Masada committing seppuku while I was setting it up. Given the poor availability of parts for such an ancient and unique RIF, I am not sure that it can be repaired. Therefore, I had to switch to the A&K version of the Masada, which performed valiantly all day. The first game was a simple attack and defence of the recently enlarged village; as the defenders, we had three lives in or touching a building, while the attackers, whose aim was to kill us all, had infinite buddy regens after a 30m fallback. For once, the lad and I started in completely different positions; he was on the left by the lake, while I was on the far right. This game was a good start to the day, with the attackers pressing hard and us resisting strongly, forcing them to take their time. As was to be expected from such an event, the level of play was excellent, with good communications, excellent hit taking and good sportsmanship. Eventually, of course, they killed all of us and took the village. After a short break to refill mags, the game was reversed; the lad and I were on different sides of the advance, with me going down the right and him on the left. I had a few good exchanges with defenders as we broke into the village. When the final defender fell after a gallant stand, we had completed the mission 2 minutes and 14 seconds more rapidly than the blue team. Hurrah! The next game was rather different and was based on part of the originally planned game. Each team was divided into four squads, each of which had part of a code in an envelope. Each player had three lives, after which they had to go to John at the hillfort, whereupon they would be allocated another three lives or given a mission. However, once the player carrying the envelope was hit, they had to hand the envelope to an enemy player, who would take it to John. The winner would be the first team to get all four parts of the enemy's code to John or, if neither team managed this, the team who got most parts of the code to him. The marshals, acting as a UN peacekeeping force on the border between the two teams, would try to keep the peace by shooting at players trying to infiltrate into the other team's territory. Our squad started by trying to flank around the site, coming up behind the enemy's start point at the DEA Base. Having avoided the UN forces, we ran into a large group of the enemy, so fell back in a highly organised manner. After this, the game became gloriously chaotic, with squads disintegrating as casualties were taken and new squads forming from the casualties. Having teamed up with other players for a while, I eventually met up with the lad and some of the rest of our squad near the Boathouse, from where we joined in an attack on the mortar pits. After a lot of wonderfully confused actions, including a small private war against the UN forces, the game came to an end. We had managed to get three elements of the blue team's code to John, while they got only one part of ours to him. Hurrah! Another victory! The lad, who had been carrying our squad's envelope, still had it with him when we got home. Next, we played a convoy game with the blue team forming the first convoy. They had to get their youngest player, who was at the front, to the building at the far end of the main street in the village. As the defenders, we could deploy within 20m of the street. The convoy players had infinite lives, while we had two. The catch was that the blue team could not break formation or shoot until they had been fired on. We decided to let them get just over half way along the street before opening fire. The lad and I positioned ourselves near the start of the street, so that we could deal with the tail of the convoy. Once the shooting had started and the enemy were able to move off the street and move 20m into the village, we harassed them, slowing down their advance and slowly falling back, while carrying out small hit and run attacks on them. Eventually, of course, they completed their mission after wearing down our forces. This was then switched around; the lad and I took up position at the rear of the convoy so that, when the shooting started, we could dash into the village and attempt to roll up the defenders on that side. This worked really well as we and a couple of other players pushed into the village, taking out defenders and supporting the general advance. We completed our mission, unfortunately taking 4 minutes and 12 seconds longer than the blue team. Boo! For a final game, we went to the mortar pits to play last man standing, with the marshals forming the initial attacking team. In this, I got a lovely grenade kill on a group of attacking players who had taken up a position behind the Bedford, lobbing a paper pyro over an earth berm; the cry of "Oh fuck!" just before it went off was very satisfying. This ended a great day of airsoft, played very sportingly with great hit taking. We will definitely attend the next invitation-only game that is organised at AP, if we are invited. Weapons used: Me: A&K Masada ASG XP18 Commander (CO2) The lad: G&G M4 No 1 G&G M4 No 2 ASG XP18 Commander (CO2)

I really don't get the current fad of lazer cutting the top flap of closed magazine pouches. Half the benefit of a closed pouch is to keep the water and filth off your mags...

Maybe it's made from "gold leaf" 😏 (The precious metal, not the tobacco😜)

Been working on this. FR Ordnance MC-51SD as made for the SAS/SBS Quite a bit needs altering to fit the mp5sd front to the G3 body. But only obvious mod externally is the charging slot was made longer to accommodate the G3 charging handle. But as no real pics available, it's hard to determine where the cocking lever actually stops on the SD variant. So stopped it just before sling point. Even though normal MC51 had the charging handle stop over the front sight.

@Stokey2785 your adverts are terribly written, very little info that's of use, awful pictures, especially the gun thats covered in ghillie wrap, people need to see, in detail, what their actually contemplating buying. And finally, why have you joined to sell your mates stuff, maybe he needs to sign up & take responsibility for these atrocious sales threads. Sort it out please, before they get deleted due to their misleading nature.

While I fortunately don't have to deal with the public at work I've had my share of mental health issues (along with probably a sprinkling of neurospicyness). The combination of being out in the countryside and having the distraction of the game to concentrate on really helps.

Condition: "As new" Ummmmm..

That's one of the great things about this game, you can play at whatever pace you're comfortable with.

Presumably seen the posts in here given the edit - No mate, we will mock you mercilessly for that level of pisstake. Edit: worst case (and glossing over the fact that most recent GHK AK's barely work) for prices on everything in that, someone could replicate it brand new for slightly over £1600 - its not special in any way, nor is it rare, so why is his asking 70% of new.

You're also missing out on his (undisclosed) ex two-tone HPA L96 with an upgraded motor(?) 🤔 https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/58580-hpa-sniper-rifle/

Well done, the difference between the first and last photos is really clear. Agreed. It definitely helps with both physical and mental health

Don’t buy the mk18 if you plan to change the handguard. Buy the 14,5" or cqbr version. There are lot of threads on internet about the removal of the mk18 barrel nut and it’s very, very hard to remove it.

Well done you👍

That's bloody brilliant. Well done.

Last night's night game at Ironsight in Andover saw me be actually useful to me team a grand total of.. ONCE! Most of the night was plauged by poorly feeding magazines, no gas for my sidearm, an optic that was quite literally duct taped on (im sure you can imagine how well zeroed it was, but that said it was nice to get back into my kit. Onto the useful thing I did objective: Both teams try to capture barrel and move it to igloo, defend it in igloo for two mins to win The plan: I dropped my body armour and anything that would slow me down and legged it straight into the centre of the map where I found the objective within probably about one or two minutes , run out the back of the tunnels and around the right flank of the hangars (shout out to the guy who ran with me at this point you were a legend, and to the rest of my team who covered me) and up to the igloo, the right flank being controlled by my team making this easier. I get into the igloo, I am one pace away from placing the barrel on the objective. Shots fired at me from the dark, the enemy had set up and waited in there, and we lost the match. Whoever you were with the tracer rounds, very well played, you got me right in the fingers.

His excuses don’t add up to me. sounds like the courier has lost two guns and he’s expecting PayPal to have helped him somehow… I could sympathise with him not wanting to post the RIF after that experience… but PayPal have no control over the postal system and will always side with the buyer if the goods never arrive. on the flip side, what he’s saying is - if it doesn’t arrive, he’s keeping the money and the the buyer is done for.

I would still try changing both the hop unit and the nozzle.

Specna Arms Prime P-27 in bronze - my first M4 AEG

My latest G19. Fitted the TTI hop unit which has produced some great results in every glock I’ve fitted it to. Onto the next one 😅 going to try a gen4 next.

MWS MK12 Mod 0. It has the carbon fiber handguard but it's still kinda heavy lol

Snap! Kind of 😂

Star L1A1 with EnglishKiwi 3D printed (SLS) L2A2. Gave the L2 a lick of paint, a couple of labels and a bit of weathering to make it seem a bit aged.

Happy with my little add ons to the gen5 Angrygun MOS plate to accept clone ACRO Clone TLR-1 Pro Arms steel Supressor sights which I surprisingly managed to “white dot” without too much of a mess despite being a tad shakey.

Making the Bow GBB MP5k stock fit an AEG is definitely a 2/10 would not do again but over the moon with the results
