I didn't actually play too much at Worthing on Sunday. Spent most of my day helping my friend with his guns and tweaking my own ready for AI500 next weekend. I will be removing the Jaeger Precision NPAS from my MWS though as even when I opened it all the way it was still blocking a portion of the intake and I was only mustering about 1.5J on ASG orange gas; DMR limit is 1.88J and this is specifically my DMR MWS. Didn't want to put red gas in it with how the weather was as I was worried I'd cause the nozzle to explode, so out came the ol' reliable KJW m700 built as an m40a5. Fortunately that performed really, really, really well, though with how windy it was it made sniping very difficult. The game I did play was a large game where yellow team had to gather bomb components and then bomb a base. Nobody knew where the components were, and only yellow knew which base was the final objective. I was on blue so we had to stop them, but at the time I got into the game, yellow had basically all the components and were moving the bomb around. A lot of blue team were also suffering from the classic airsoft malady known as "I don't want to get shot syndrome" and so as soon as I got into the game, I became the front line with my bolt action sniper rifle. There were a few regulars on blue who were pushing, but in such small numbers they ended up getting picked off. Eventually, the marshalls told blues what the objective base was and started to verbally prod players to stop cowering far back, especially as the yellow team got into the base and started the bomb timer; that seemed to be enough to get players to start playing a bit more aggressively and we quickly swept yellow out of the base to defuse the bomb I will say there was some absolutely abysmal hit taking and I heard that someone threatened to punch someone. The latter was very swiftly dealt with by the marshalls, as one was in ear shot and wasn't having any of that, and there were quite a few players who got sent back to the safe zone for not taking their hits. Marshalls were really on top of it all day, so props to the marshalling team for dealing with it when it cropped up, I just haven't seen so many people taking the piss in a while. Spent the rest of the day tweaking my m40 on the range and helping my friend with his m700 (still having issues...) and his new MWS. I also think something in my hi-capa lower is busted because it doesn't always shoot when I pull the trigger. I think one of the sears is on the way out; it still works fine, but very occasionally I will pull the trigger and nothing will happen, so AAP will be my go-to sidearm for AI500 as that is having no issues.3 points -

Colin I usually go to these and run the WARPAC side of things but had to miss this one. We have a FB page here if you are interested in joining https://www.facebook.com/groups/677131892467522/ Kit guides can be found here https://coldwarairsoft.co.uk/ We arent overly strict as we would prefer players over being stich counters, getting into the spirit of the game is much more important. Repro kit is becoming available now with a set of Soviet M88 on AliExpress setting you back around £70. The real stuff is getting a lot harder to find now especially in bigger sizes. East German stuff is still reasonable though Best airsoft I have ever been to - no drama no cheating no whinging. This is our pisstake training video. Next game in November near Bourne in Lincs3 points -

God's finest DE SPAS-12 - the insane 'hop up' effect barely dribbles a .25 out of the barrel, but I don't care - it's a fucking SPAS-12. Got a reading of 0.453J and it'll sit in the cupboard to larp with and look at. At least it looks cool (and, more importantly - was cheap!)2 points -

Had a fun day at Imperium yesterday, involving possibly my finest airsoft moment of all time. The two teams were set up at opposing sides of the lower half of the site. The task was to secure the APC, and transport your teams jerry cans to the APC. Once one team had done that, they had to move the APC to another location, put the VIPs inside the APC and extract. Either team could secure the APC to begin with but once it had been secured by one team, it was theirs for the rest of the game and it was up to the other team to disable it/prevent extraction. The morning started off with a few scraps but my team (blues) managed to secure the APC. Unfortunately reds came in force and took us off the APC before we were able to transport all our jerry cans to it. Further scrapping ensued but the reds got all their jerry cans there and it was theres. We were then instructed to set up an ambush between the APC start point and the VIP location. Various groups set off, but I spied a nice little dead end in the long grass. I laid down and stayed silent/totally still. Despite just being in ODs, the enemy team walked right by me within 10 or 15 feet. I waited a minute or two longer until their team was completely facing away, then popped up and moved forward elminating the entire force guarding the APC. I moved up, waited for the APC doors to open and tapped the reds in there too. A couple more reinforcements bagged before I was shot by a sniper. Quick tally put it around 15 players elminated, or half their entire team. They fought back well but their momentum was lost and they failed to extract the VIP. In the afternoon, the reds started with the APC on the comms tower. It was our task to assault the tower and disable the APC within an hour, but if we failed to do that we had a secondary task of capturing the intel in the FOB, which would reveal the location of some missles. If we got those back to our regen, they could be fired at the APC from a distance winning the game. I decided to leave my GBLS in the boot and roll out with the Tanaka. By the afternoon the wind had picked up and even with 0.45s it was tough to make any accurate hits beyond 50m, so I mostly stuck to harrassing the reds. 0.45s pinging off metal sheets does tend to keep people's heads down. I did have a few issues with rentals not taking hits, I watched a few bounce off them but I always see that as one of the expected downsides of long range sniping. Even so, I scored a good five or six hits with my pistol. In the end we never captured the comms tower, but we did get the intel from the FOB and managed to get the missles back to our regen with seconds to spare.2 points -

Oh, I know that feeling... Back in about 1994-95 I picked up a deactivated Bren Mk1 from a shop in London (Angel Islington I think), it was in a long cardboard box but it was still in the IRA era and I must have been sweating buckets carrying this on the underground, once I got to my destination station Euston (again I think) I went to the transport police to ask if they wanted to hold on to it till my train to Edinburgh in a few hours. Their answer was no, just leave it in left luggage. I was astounded TBH.1 point -

Losing a shop is a shame, but it was a rather unfriendly place. I suspect that more shops will close over the next few years; rising costs and competition from online only retailers will drive them out of the market.1 point -

The stock barrel is fine, and replacing it won't have any effect on whether it's hopped properly or not: that's all down to the hop unit, rubber, and nub. Actually, stock everything should be fine, I suspect there's something wrong there. I'd again ask whether you're seeing any hop effect being applied, particularly with 0.28g. What's the hop set to?1 point -

Thanks and no worries, in case anyone else comes across this, I ended up with: Changed the springs: 2 * 0.6mm WD, 8mm OD, 300mm length springs cut down to approx. 250mm RHD Hop Arm and adjuster set (highly recommended, it seems much better) for the APFG MCX 4UAD bucking UNICORN - 6.03mm Ultimate Precision Inner Barrel Set For GBB (285 mm) - I had the 11.5 version. A tiny wrap of Teflon tape around the bucking and the barrel out of habit, not sure if it makes a difference I had to sand down the bottom of the nozzle (the stripper and the gas router) as magazines were too tight. (Might just be a bad batch of nozzles) Thread lock the screw that holds the nozzle in place in the bolt I also got the reinforced RHD barrel/handguard support, seems much better. So far happy with it, not used it for a game day yet but test firing out to 35ms it was pretty good.1 point

I was undecided about playing today. The temptation to head out for a long walk instead was very strong, but I promised myself that I would do that next Saturday. Therefore, I headed off to the site where I play most, Airsoft Plantation; more than 200 other players made the same decision, making me feel very smug that I had got there early and was able to grab a good area to set up, where I was joined by a couple of friends. For the first game we went to the woods, which pleased me immensely as it is my favourite part of the site. As the defenders, we had two lives between the Border and the ditch which is spanned by the Wobbly Bridge. Our task was to prevent the dastardly reds, who started at the Border and had infinite regens on a teammate after a 30m fall back, getting three crates onto the Wobbly Bridge. Each crate had to be carried by two players. When the game started, I took up a position on our left; it soon became obvious that the main enemy attack was coming towards our right, so most of our early engagements were across the field in that direction. As the enemy slowly pushed forward, I fell back towards the Kill House, from where I continued to engage the enemy, including two who I suddenly realised were on the other side of the fence from me; as they had no idea I was there, they were very surprised to suddenly be shot in the back at close range. Eventually, I was hit and fell back towards the ditch; by this point, we were starting to be overrun; I was hit again and the enemy got their crates onto the bridge. When the game was turned around, we decided to make our main attack down our right; our initial advance was delayed by a smoke grenade setting fire to the undergrowth, which was quickly dealt with. We stormed forward, overwhelming the enemy and, after clearing the area around the Kill House, launched an attack on the Wobbly Bridge which saw our three crates deposited there in a significantly shorter time than our opponents had managed. After a quick break to reload, the next game involved our team, starting at the far end of the firebreak, getting one of our bombers, who were indicated by yellow arm bands, to the heliport on the roof of The Cock Inn in the village, where they would set off a smoke grenade which was in a case. If hit, our bombers, of whom I was one, had to return to the firebreak and find a marshal to regen; each such regen incurred a time penalty. Regular attackers had infinite regens on a 30m fall back, while the defenders again had two lives on a 30m fall back. I set off with the group who were attacking from the far end of the village; we quite rapidly fought our way through the Suburbs into the main part of the village, where one of our bombers completed the objective. As we walked back to the safe zone, I was accosted by a very upset marshal as he had lost a mighty £1 bet on me being the one who would set off the bomb. After lunch, which saw Emily and her team feed over 200 people, the bomber game was turned around. I started off in the suburbs, helping fight off an attacking group until I was hit, whereupon I fell back into the village, holding a position covering the rear path into it and taking out a lot of attackers, some of whom seemed to think they were hitting me, although their BBs were dropping a few metres in front of me of me. Eventually, I was hit when the enemy broke into the rear of the village, and trudged back to the safe zone. After reloading again, a new game was started. Starting at the Comms Shack in the village, we had to get smoke grenades to three locations in the mortar pits, which were unknown to the defenders; these were the Bedford, the Land Rover Discovery and the bus. We had infinite regens on a marshal, while the defenders had one life each. Initially pushing right across the site to attack via the Comms Truck, we made rapid progress until we ran into a layer of heavy enemy resistance, which saw a lot of us repeatedly having to find the regen marshal. Of course, the enemy defence crumbled and we were able to achieve our objectives. This game was then turned around; I took up a position in the middle of our defence, taking out a number of attackers until I had to make a rapid tactical withdrawal (which coincidentally looked like me running away!); a while after, I was hit. As there was no way of getting back to the safe zone without getting shot, dead players congregated by the tree line at the rear of the mortar pits, from where we had a grandstand view of the attackers' attempts to reach their objectives; they struggled somewhat! Halfway through this game, the bolt release catch on my SA58 disassembled itself; fortunately, I managed to find the key part and effected a repair that was better than the original assembly when I got home. That was the end of a really good, fun day of airsoft that was played in a good spirit; the games were well designed and tested the teams. Next Sunday, I am probably going to try a site that is new to me, which several people have recommended. It should be interesting.

Okay all great news, I have done it… the mcx now has crazy good consistency and the bb trajectory is perfect each time. ive done this by putting a unicorn barrel, bucking, omega nub and winter springs in. The stock springs are way too strong and especially for English weather. The stock springs end up pushing the bb with too much force that it gets placed unevenly in the hop rubber leading to inconsistent hop. The winter springs solves this and make the gun overall nicer to manipulate. the winning combination is: 200mm 6.03 unicorn gbb barrel 60 degree unicorn gbb bucking GSI hop arm maple leaf omega nub bow master vfc npas Jwi hop unit winter springs the winter springs are the one from the airsoft chay video and are a following: Length: 300mm Wire Diameter: 0.6mm Outer Diameter: 8mm https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803437852748.html The people over in the heavy recoil club discord server have been incredibly useful so a massive thank you to them.1 point
