Few bits of glock news: firstly it looks like TM have announced a new production date. Hopefully that means if you had a preorder with impulse, you’ll get yours! secondly, don’t have photos to hand, but guarder have teased on Facebook they’ll be doing a gen5 G34 and G45 based off the gen5 mos platform ?

I don't want to start a discussion I'm just putting this here for anyone interested in seeing the difference so their messages are clearer to read. Your - Belongs to you Example: Your gear You're - Short for 'You are' Example: You're right There - Referring to a place Example: Lets go over there Their - Possession Example: Don't touch their RIF They're - Short for 'They are' Example: They're going to be surrounded Hope this helps clear things up a bit.

I’ve had a couple of back and forth emails today while at work. It appears their stock levels were wrong. Showed 3 in stock, but actually had none. They’ve had to inform 3 of us today that the orders will be delayed. They did give me the option of a full refund, but as with LMKipper, I’m in no rush for it and I’ll wait as opposed to spending the extra cash. I’ve got some extra bits ordered that’ll take a while to get here. They’ve confirmed they have them on order and should be here within 2 weeks. Possibly earlier. This is the first time I’ve had issues with HPA, having ordered quite a few things from them. I’m quite happy with how they’ve dealt with the situation in the end, after being quite annoyed initially. It’ll not put me off buying from them in future.

Arguably lead would be better, its natural, softer and has even higher density. At 1.3j though you'd need to show up a day early to get the shooting done then show up the next to see if anyone hit you

As predicted, the rumour of no more TM Glocks was absolute wank.

First day out in ages, went to Red Alert. Weather was decent - bit humid to start and a light sprinkle of wet stuff around lunch but otherwise ok. M14 failed chrono by a whole 6 fps , my newly built G3SD/MC51 SBS call it what you will was overhopping 0.28sso I figured I'd load up something heavier for the next game as it had plenty of range (happy face) and then it started to jam (sad face). Obviously being of the belief that one is none and all that I had brought 4 guns with me. Couldn't use my new AK because I'm an idiot who didn't check that the battery I had for it would actually fit BUT I had my Gordy clone with me and that was running lovely. Highlight of the day was getting 5 kills with a Tag round. Low point was discovering that the seals have gone in the Fist so I couldn't use any more Tags. Overall a pretty decent day, lunch was good. Decent banter and what seemed to be a pretty good crowd although I did hear some reports of a couple of snipers playing fast and loose with their MED. By that point my knee decided enough was enough so early home for tea and buns!

Yes, the LCT handguard is a direct fit.

I was on yellow as well; the sides seemed to be reasonably well matched. Welcome to the forum!

He's gone, although going on his profile I see he'd been accused previously through "status updates", unfortunately they don't raise a flag for a mod, & like in this guys case, initially missed. Assume we're dumb & tell us directly ?

Another scammer to ban

The entire argument most sites have for it is entirely born out of ignorance/laziness/or both of joule creep. There are some sites up in the North that have had the kneejerk reaction to have wildly different energy limits for GBBR/HPA vs AEGs out of that same ignorance. Chrono people with the weights they're going to use, and it mitigates most of the risks, anyone who is found in breach, eject them permanently. Simples. Next to nobody is going to be running 0.36+ in an AEG, as its too fucking expensive to spray them willy nilly. A 0.36+g bb does negligible difference in material damage at 1.2J vs a 0.2g, despite anyones blustering about it.

If it helps, it hurt to do that even as a bit

If your fitting the Jaeger Npas into the DE nozzle you modify the NPAS not the bolt carrier or the nozzle. Or just replace the DE nozzle with a Tm one or G&P spec then the Npas will fit right in. I fitted the Jaeger into my partners mk18 and worked flawless fitted the Npas to my L119a2 and constant 1.1j on .32s using propane

They're CGS system mags, they should work, but the routers are offspec for MWS, so you may need to replace those with guarder/laylax ones at great expense.

Then it evolved into using the mini keypad on an xbox controller to insult random strangers in cod lobbies, and as we all know letting random strangers know what you think of they're mothers is a time-critical task.

Yeah, the gen2 mags are backwards compatible. They seem to have better gas stored and gas output compared to the old mags. I find my older glocks run much better on the newer mags, so whilst they’re quite expensive, they seem worth it. They’re still heavy compared to the guarder, prowin and TTI mags.

That sounds like an interesting day!

Done bud ?

He isn't inferring that we are using steel BBs; he is using a form of Socratic questioning.

A double mag pouch to go with the plate carrier

I got home from work last night to find these on the dining room table.... The previous owner gave up Airsoft years ago and was about to bin them all when a chance conversation about Airsoft led them to be dropped off at my house.... They're at least 15 years old and in need of some TLC but blimey. Day went from meh to WHOA!!!

Hey folks, Glad to join the community here at AF-UK. Rather than listing the kit I've got for sale straight away, I thought I'd introduce myself here first. I'm based in the central belt of Scotland and I've been playing for a couple of years now. I mainly play in outdoor fields and enjoy smaller load outs that allow me to be more nimble to play for the objectives. I've not played for a while but I'm looking to get back into it, though free time is few and far between for me these days! Thanks 6

After discovering my VFC SCAR-Hs have an NPAS from the factory (?) i made an adjuster tool to make it easier to tweak through the ejection port rather than stripping it down every time.

Sorry, I should have been more specific, yes I mean the screw that goes into the spring guide Yes like that, as I use mainly AKs with a V3 gearbox I require a large flat headed screw, preferably slotted I think I know what to look for now, thanks

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! So far I am getting away with the cost as its exercise, similar to going to the gym, which is expensive....... Right..... The games I have played so far the youngsters (teenagers) run off and are followed by the aged (avoided using mature and experienced) then stroll back past to respawn before I reach the front line. Will post a picture of the MP5 when it arrives, gone for a longer tight bore barrel so will be keeping the suppressor on when on the field to keep the inner barrel protected.

Welcome. There's quite a few of us older players here. I would've put mature but I think quite a few of us grew old but not up

Skyler from Reddit? ?

Ah, AI500... Yes, I went to AI500 in Flambards over the weekend and I have some thoughts. Especially since seeing the organisers locking Discord channels and deleting comments; that stuff rustles my jimmies when it's warranted criticism (if it's just rampant abuse, sure, but when it's valid criticism...) However, I want to start on a positive note. As always, I went with the guys from Worthing Airsoft, a bunch of regular players and marshalls that numbered somewhere in the 20s, so a good, quality contingent of players to fill out half of Charlie section (or, C-Unit) of green team. We also had the lads from Cheeky Nandos and Dirty Dog rocking up to populate other sections of green team and it's always a riot playing alongside those guys and gals. The social aspect of the weekend was top notch as always and I loved hanging out with everyone again. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of the green machine and most of the players I chatted with were pretty great, and the meal at spoons was a laugh. In terms of gameplay, I certainly found ways to enjoy it and had a really fun weekend away, and the lead marshall did absolutely everything he could to make it so; if there was an issue, he was straight over to deal with it and did his best to keep the game moving and dynamic, though he was given very little to work with by the organisers (more on that later...). I found a lot of lovely spots where I could get some long shots, having to aim up and drop the BBs onto people. I didn't break my record of 124m that I made at the AI500 at Ebbw Vale, but I got a few at about 115m while sitting in a bush. On the Saturday I got moved on a bunch (more on that later...), but most success saw me holding down one of the chokepoints on the site (more on that later too...) from a heavily bushed, slightly raised area. I just went prone and started hitting a bunch of 90m shots, watching the dejected, shoulder slumps of the tan players who tried to enter my domain. On the Sunday, I had a lot of time where I couldn't do much because chokepoints, but when we pushed through I found a lovely bush to sit in and drop a bunch of 100m+ shots from (this is where I got the 115m one. At least that's what my laser rangefinder told me!). I also got voted for the "best sniper" award, so that rounded out the weekend really nicely for me Ok, so now for the negatives... Firstly, the absolute fuckwit players. There were certainly some in attendance! One group of tans were caught on camera by an old lady when they hopped the fence of the site to try and flank around by trespassing in her garden in full kit. It's fortunate that the old lady knew that there was an airsoft game going on, as armed police response could've been called if not, but she sent that in to the organisers. Secondly, a bunch of players decided it would be a good idea to sneak into the site at night and climb on the roller coaster. They were caught by security and forcefully ejected from the event in the early hours of the morning. There were also reports of people running way overpowered HPA setups; one player was spot-checked and caught with a regular rifle (not a DMR or a bolt action, a regular, no MED rifle) slinging .32s at 2.6J, so if there was one, I'm sure there were more. Especially when on the Sunday the lead marshall asked how many people were using HPA and at least half the players raised their hands. Also, people's regulators weren't being tournament locked at chrono, so you knew this was going to happen. I forced them to lock my MTW when I chrono'd it, but I heard so many reports that they just... weren't locking regulators. My friend also got blind fired twice while trying to clear corners. Also, hit taking was absolutely abysmal (as usual). As an example, I hit the same LMG gunner on the tan team four times, seeing the fabric of his hoodie ripple with each BB impact through my 15x zoom scope, only for him to continue spraying BBs in and never heading back to respawn. I also hit a bunch of headshots on people who then just ducked behind the wall to continue firing, eventually clipping me with a BB in the darkness that I called and headed back to respawn for, after telling a marshall and pointing out the exact player with an exact description because, y'know... 15x zoom. I also hit a whole load of headshots on people peeking barricades or corners, only for them to recoil from the hit, hide behind their cover and then peek out seconds later, returning fire. I'll put some of those down to medic rules on Sunday, as anyone could medic on Sunday, but not on Saturday where only specific people could medic and only had a certain number of medic bands. There was also definitely a lot of people taking far too many medic lives; you get 1, not 5! The organisation was an absolute mess. I didn't see the organisers pretty much at all. I think I saw them when I booked in and when I chrono'd on the Friday, but after that I personally didn't see them once. There were also some really stupid rules around how cover worked, basically saying that if you couldn't fit your head through it, you couldn't shoot through it. Meaning that if you crouched behind a picket fence and got hit through it, that didn't count as a hit. I get no keyholing, but just being able to shrug off hits because they came through a picket fence was a bonkers rule that caused a lot of argument. Also, added into this, the marshalling team in general felt pretty partisan outside of the lead marshall who was fantastic all event long. Frequently we were told to move off from an area as it was now out of bounds, only for the tans to be there 2 minutes later shooting us from it with no marshall interference (this happened to me personally 4 times on the Saturday). There were "airstrikes" called in on the Saturday to clear us out of areas, and then a bunch of mortar strikes on Sunday, despite us having stolen about 14 of the objects needed for the tans to even call in these mortar strikes. And when we called in our own mortar strike on a location where the tans were all crowded around, none of them were killed out of the game, basically meaning we destroyed the area for objective points, but all the tans huddled around it were absolutely fine. Every time there was a strike near us on green team we were forced to move a good distance away or we'd all be in the blast zone, meanwhile the tans moved up and took positions as the strike was happening as we'd return as soon as the marshalls told us the strike was over, only to be met by tans in the same spots we were just in; I guess on the tan team they turned friendly fire off in the game settings? And finally, the site was... not adequate for airsoft. They shut the middle buildings to house a bar and the shop (yes, these were in the middle of the gameplay area), which led to the entire site becoming a battle for two chokepoints. Furthermore, they made one of them worse on Sunday by putting staggered barricades in the incredibly small chokepoint, meaning you couldn't even navigate it quickly. It became an absolute meatgrinder at these two chokepoints that neither team could push through and the whole game just ground to a halt on multiple occasions. Even more so when we were trying to push through it and then one of the marshalls said we couldn't use any pyro to try and clear it, meaning it was literally pointless for us to even try it. When the lead marshall heard this, he told us that was bullshit, said we could use pyro there (no smokes, but that was agreed at the start), and marched off to clarify that to the marshalls. The only reason we managed to get through it, was one of the marshalls told the tan team they had already won halfway through Sunday, so a bunch of them went home and then we pushed through and steamrolled them I also heard that BBs were being shot through fences as people were playing too close to the chainlink fence that bordered a car park for the soft play area next door. Also apparently a child got hit by a stray BB. This is hearsay though as I didn't personally witness this, but I could see it happening. Yeah, it was a mess... Also, they increased the price pretty dramatically for this one. I'm generally a fan of AI500 as an excuse to go out for a weekend with the lads and play BB wars, and there are some great connections with some of the other regulars who are literally on the other side of the country from us, but in future I'm really not sure I will go next time. Will see how things go, but this one left a really bad taste in my mouth.

HPA actually just emailed me saying they can't fulfill my order as they've run out but they've given me the option to wait (they think around 2 weeks).
