OP: "I just bought this, is this any good?" Forum: "not really" OP: "Well, let me tell you why it's good and you're all wrong"

CrackPipeCallout not the hero we deserve but the hero we need.

Oh COME ON

There's only two things I can't stand on this forum: posters who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

Just remembered another pet peeve,you see an item new in the classifieds, so you start a pm stream: ME: Hey mate, if this is still available I'll take it please.... SELLER: Yeah, still here mate..... ME: Cool, send me your PayPal & I'll send it over....... Half hour later, your message has been read, the items marked as "sold" but no reply to your earlier pm. Hour or two later...... ME: Mate, still waiting on your paypal details ?......... 2 hours later you see your message has been read, but no reply ......... 24 hour later........... ME: Dude, what's occurring, are you selling this to me or what ? Hour later, your message has been read, still no reply...... 2 days later......... SELLER: Yeah, soz man, somebody messaged before you........ WTF, SO WHY DID YOU NOT SAY SOMEONE'S SAID THEY WANT IT, BUT IF IT FALLS THROUGH YOUR NEXT IN LINE ETC. & WTF IS THE GHOSTING ABOUT 🤬 Definitely should be a reason for negative feedback, even if it's only to wake their ignorant dumb asses up ffs.

I've been telt off I have Naked SR25 with 4 mags for £100 more than you'd pay shipped with fees and taxes from Proact. Same here, around £100 more than you'd pay for the rifle and mags from Proact delivered with fees. Particularly funny the assertion that a tan VFC SCAR H is hard to come by. Apparently looking for VFCs in Gas Rifles is a cheat code to this thread...

Sold a rif once and the guy disassembled it, broke the gearbox, then claimed it arrived broken. Silly bugger had already sent a message confirming it worked on arrival though, but that was still three weeks in PayPal dispute. I think that's the only one that really ground my gears. Other than that there's some funny buggers out there. Shout out to Job Lot posters, always a Perfect Starter Kit. A pile of minging gear, no splits though you're getting that one pistol you might want bundled in with a load of Amazon special, child size, full Multicam Black kit. The worst photos of the worst piles of junk going. Collection only btw.

I've some time on my hands at the moment so thought I'd play around with some posh spray paints and templates, a few shots of todays results, and I very much welcome contructive criticism...

And because apparently I have no self-control on spending this month. (in my convoluted self-defence, it was about 45% off) Victoptics S6 1-6x24 LPVO in Burnt Bronze, with Co Witness mount of the same brand..

You assume that these people don't just think NIST is a misspelling of the place where birds live.

Morning! Take one £136 pistol + £40 for one extended seen as the other is goosed and you shouldn't be pricing for a magazine included with a RIF. So you're saving £16 buying second hand... Or pay £115 for it delivered from HK and £35 for an extendo. Does this need any elaboration?

Bloke's life seems like this, on constant repeat.

I cannot find the airsoft insurance details from when we had it for one off events, but it did not require us to chrono all guns, only those that had changes made to them since they were last checked. Neither did it state that they had to be checked by us. Regarding AP, chronos are available just outside the safe zone and players routinely use them; marshals then randomly check on the field. It is made very clear that anyone found with a hot gun will be sent home. When I first went there, this surprised me; however, having played there a lot, it is the only site where I have never come across complaints about players potentially having hot guns. There is something about the culture of the site, the way it is run and the attitude of the very large number of regular players that seems to prevent it being a problem. The other sites I play at chrono every gun; I do not feel any safer at them, probably less so.

I think i've had this today, starting to think that pistol is cursed. Why i'm now not going to mark something as pending again for the foreseeable.

This is why I take videos of RIFs I sell working before they go in their box as I also had one like that too. I sold some guy a working CYMA Mk12 SPR with videos of it cycling plus chrono results. I get a message a week or so later about how it doesn't actually work and he sent a video of him pulling the trigger and the gun just clicking but in the background, the full stock was laid on the table alongside an AEG spring plus a screwdriver. The guy buying it had been talking about putting a bigger spring it to bring it up to his sites DMR limits so I suspect he'd been tinkering, banged in a massive spring and broke something.

No wonder he's having a financial crisis if he paid over £950 for that Also to whoever it is that's made a second account just for calling out bullshit prices, I see you and I salute you 😉

TM MP7 has a fair few wear parts that aren't listed in those upgrades either, (there's no aftermarket, and replacement parts are scarce). The stock rails, receiver, and fire control parts are generally prone to breaking after a while and can be annoying to procure. If any of them goes, the gun is Boneyard for parts only. "High RoF" build just says wear acceleration to me tbh.

Hopefully it won't be such an absolute shit show this time round. I won't hold my breath though if it's the same mob running it

I look at it the other way, milsim is meant to be based on warfare irl, & breaking in to your enemies comms is a very real thing irl. But, as you've said, most airsofters use comms for banter & piss taking, very little professional use, bit like knobs with taclights at night games, they usually do more harm than good to their own team🤣/🤬

Comms espionage Where do you sit with this Listening in to other teams comms good tactic that because you're using an open unencoded frequency that you expect to be listened to so you should use code words Or it's cheating and spoils the game for you

Supply is the main issue, there is lots of stuff I would like to buy especially some of the older models like the SR3M but its always out of stock. I know that production runs are limited but some indication of when things might be available again would be nice.

Are LCT going to bring back the AEG conversion kits and will they increase distribution of their external and internal parts to more shops in particularly here in the UK. so we can avoid going thought a distributor? I have been waiting for 2 months, 20 days for some parts for my lct pkp and I have to chase the distributor for updates. The box mag on the pkp need to be able to use the A&K/Raptor versions and not proprietary ( there a rumour that lct may do a pkm), £202.00 for lct pkp box mag that suffer from number of issue is ridiculous. A revamp of current modules to be more accurate to the weapons they are trying to replicate, RPK74 bipod springs to mind, as it meant to cant a number of degrees to allow for a 45rd mag to be inserted and not mono-pod went at rest. Would lct ever consider replicating combloc optic like the 1p29 scope?

I usually bring my own scales to chrono and place my balls on them for inspection before I shoot.

Thank you my autism brain takes things literally Im afraid 😂

Could you comment on LCT doing an RPL-20?

Really adding a lot of price ceiling on some parts kits, isn't it? PayPal F&F only eh? 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

yea thats her . i remember she claimed people where gang stalking her and stuff on the internet she used to hangaround with a guy called Basildon dave and some of the guys that used to run a shop i remember her running IDF gear when one of the first TAR 21 came out probly late 2009 early 2010

Officer? Sounds more like an office block.

i believe she claimed to be Israeli or ran a IDF load out ? maybe 2008/2009 ish ? the question you have to ask is how many people are cheating the chrono at AP , the answer is we don't know because they don't check any weapons before first game , if one person gets hurt and they attempt to claim on the insurance that's like a default win, they have no defence to say they insured all air muskets where with in site and legal limits . when people talk about insurance going up this will be why .

And almost a year to the day..... I chewed up the threads on the outer barrel...the Cherry bomb muzzle doodad is now all floppy and no one likes a floppy cherry bomb.... Where can i get an outer barrel? do others fit?

Slanted pistol pouches on the belt are a good shout actually.. might have to look into that!

Don't forget the "exterior damage" that he's chosen not to show in detail, spend 1.1k on my rifle, here's one terrible picture to convince you its worth the money 😉

This is how I think it should work - as long as there is a significant amount of in-game going on. And it's fine to profile: bolties, HPA, gas guns (later in the day, don't stop chronoing after the first game), "silenced" Mk23s being used up close, anything that screams "DMR" but is brrrting. Pre-game chrono is effectively voluntary. Even when sites check tags, even when they cut off the rainbow of historic ones, or clip the excess off at the first game, all they're checking is that the gun might have been OK 20 minutes ago, assuming the player told the truth about BB weight and didn't change the spring, gas mag, hop, or regulator. Heck, my G36C has a spring adjuster built in which (after a service and nailing the air seal) can push it to... well, let's say very close to 1.3J, with a few turns of an Allan key. Ultimately what really matters is what a gun is actually producing at the instant where it shoots some kid in their earball.

@CrackPipeCallout welcome....your analysis here would be more appreciated, less funny but correct location......

I love the PF48 inflation you see. "£20 to send it proper mate," it's like £12 ya chancer. You see it so much lmao.

WE Scar H is still stuck in customs land, that however doesn't prevent me from ordering bits for it.. PTS Kinetic SCAR MREX M-Lok MK 2 4.25" Rail in DE PTS Dead Air KeyMicro Flash Hider (which will go on the DE N4, and i'll put the full size on the scar so I can use the suppressor for both) Maple Leaf Crazy Jet 370mm Inner Barrel Still deciding which avenue to go on other things before I spend yet more monies on it (Stock related things, as have never been a huge fan of the ugg boot)

Pair of WE gas blowback L86 LSW's. One is owned by myself, I've just finished converting the other for a customer The left one is mine with a genuine buttpad and rear grip and spina susat, the right one is using ICS furniture with a genuine acog

"guys I just bought this gun is it any good"

A genuine Odin Speedloader as the third pary one I have is useless

Fair. I like a lot of them haha. the only one I don’t is glock. The ergonomics aren’t good for me.

For me it's when someone asks for advice but then soon as a knowledgeable person answers they shun that advice and say but my mate or mate says this. Totally ignoring what advice is given.

Volts are volts. The circuit doesn't care about the chemistry of the battery. I've been using lipo batteries exclusively for the past 15 years or so and guess how many guns have had a mosfet. None and how many gins have had failures in that time? Again none. There's alot of bullshit put out about lipos and a hell of a lot of it is sales nonsense specifically designed to part the unwary from their cash by getting them to buy shit they don't need

Captain Walt, on his radio to his squadtoon: "Moving! Up! Staircase B! In! Significant! Force!" Yeah, no, it's just me and you, mate, and I'm planning to use you as a meatshield. Intercept away, see if it does you any good.

I'd be ok with it, for no reason other than as far as i've ever seen there are only 2 types of comms you'll get in a skirmish: 1. People who forget they have radios and hardly ever talk 2. People that announce every single little thing they're doing like they're narrating a minecraft lets play And in both cases i suspect you wont get much information that can be used to your advantage. As for milsims, unless part of the sim is specifically targeted as "we're pretending we have military grade encrypted comms" i'd also see it as fair game.

Walk on play fine. I don’t think you would really learn anything apart from me calling my team mate a knob head. milsim depends on the rules.

Quick update to this for anyone wondering and to help any wide feet boys in the future: I got some Iturri patrol boots in 11L and they fit like a glove and are ridiculously comfortable! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting wide fitting boots!

The pre cold war pews I've bought recently did't have enough room on my display so a couple of PPSH were sat in a corner looking sad, I bought the M2 Carbine on Sunday and this prompted a wee rejigging of my walls, My'sniper' wall was bigger but with less toys so I swopped them about & here are the results. My other walls will need a tidy soon too as I've sold 3 and got another AR on it's way from Defcon.

I was at Overlord on Sunday. Bought a couple of real Surefire M600's for £55 a pop. Also got a RS MP5 torch handguard for £35 quid and found what might be a bit of gold unicorn pooh in the shape of a MP5K handguard with a Magnalite attached. The mount was made by a company 20 miles from Hereford and the torch had some issue Duracells inside. I've never seen a picture of one and it's either probably a trials piece or a one off custom job for a job. I'll post a picture when the forum lets me. Now with a picture.

I have a JG SD, it's about 15 years old, done many MANY rounds through it and it refuses to die. Only recently done some work on it, a tad on the fiddly side but once you get the hang of it, it's fine.

Let's just say I'm more akin to the Michelin man than Usain bolt. Thanks for the input everyone, gonna cross magnum boots off the list as they don't sound all that good unless they're old! Shall look at iturri and soft through the minefield of eBay!
