Okay, i don't want it anymore. ?

While walking back to respawn in the heat with my mate yesterday, i was thinking it could be time for some Rhodesian bush shorts and a tiger stripe camo FAL. ?

P90 gang!

So, anyway, another replica of a rifle that's certainly dubious/debateable in real firearm form is coming out. A lot of people online say the real M7 would work as a DMR but shouldn't become the standard infantry weapon, so I'll be interested to see how airsofters with M7 replicas setup said replicas. It's hella chonk compared to an AR-15 and not the easiest to run around with all day, comparatively. This is a trend with firearm designs from the past few years that I don't understand in that they're girthy as hell, especially when you compare them to the popular 762 NATO rifles of the Cold War. If I had a crystal ball I'd love to pierce through the vale just 5 years or so in to the future, as the controversy over the M7 and P320/M17 might have been resolved one way or another by then. Players buying a lot of Sig US replicas now will either have possession of quite iconic and commonplace US issued weapons, or they'll have quite niche pieces that represent a specific blip in small arms development.

True, but imo that goes for 99% of paint jobs I've heard people openly bragging about doing similar things to players in ww2 German loadouts (Heer not SS). I've never understood the mentality behind it as unless they're actually saying racist crap then they're just playing dress up and there are plenty of other historical loadouts which it could be argued represent those who committed atrocities or war crimes but are given a pass

Don’t fancy the short shorts with a FAL then Gav?

Just got back from a day at sunny Worthing Airsoft, and yes it really was a lovely sunny day! I was a little bit sour because my Aliexpress order hadn't arrived yet (and you know it's arriving tomorrow!) so I couldn't run my planned civvie loadout or my new D3CRM copy, and with my OD trousers with a rather embarrassingly placed tear in them, I actually had to wear camo today. The ever reliable m81 trousers came out, but I made sure that was the only camo I was wearing; I love playing with no camo patterns because it really makes you have to think when it comes to remaining undetected and helps keep the skills sharp. For guns, I decided to take my mk12 mod1 MWS, set up as a DMR, since I've only got 1 more bag of .48s, but loads of bags of .43s and it performed all day. I was tagging the 70m target with ease and even the 75m one with over half my shots, though I could definitely feel the difference in power from my usual 2.3J bolt actions to the 1.8J of DMR. I was watching my shots lose that power and consistency right at the edge of its effective range (which I class as 70m), where I know my bolt actions will keep that consistency for another 5 or so metres. However, the trade off is that I get much easier follow up shots. For sidearm I decided to use my hi-capa today, and that also didn't miss a beat. Anyway, first game was a three base domination. Once they had split us into our two teams, I told my friend we were about to get stomped because a LOT of the regulars congregated around each other and got put on the same team, while me and my friend saw this and made sure to go on the other side. To nobody's surprise, we got stomped in the first game and I spent most of the time dissuading sneaky bushes from trying to flank behind us. Having so much experience as a sentient bush myself, and armed with a DMR today, I made a surprisingly good counter sniper. Second game was the same three base domination, but with sides flipped and a few players moved across teams to help with the team balance. This one flowed much better and was a pretty great game. Me and my friend, both using MWS-based DMRs today, made a pretty decent pair and managed to cause some damage to the enemy team as they tried moving from one of the bases around the flank of another one. Third game was a larger game that ran until lunch where basically there were a bunch of flip cans to control (yellow team wants the yellow side up, blue team wants the blue side up) as well as a LOT of collectibles. There was a... technical difficulty though, as the marshall who had us at our base got no radio communication that the game was started, so when he called game on for us, we made it about 20m out of our base before getting lit up as the enemy team had already been let out a minute or two earlier. The marshall did apologise and owned it, so props for that; basically the radios decided to have a moment and so he didn't receive any comms from the other marshalls for a countdown or the call for the game to start. What this meant is that me and my friend basically spent the entire game on base defence, as our base was situated close to one of the only areas where guns with an MED can perform well. I managed to crawl into some ferns (and some stinging nettles that were hiding there!) and had a great line of sight onto two trees and a barricade that the enemy team just loved to use, and I managed to get a lot of great shots onto them without being detected. All in all, it was a really good morning, as I didn't play after lunch because my new purchase needed some range time (pre-ban Tanaka m24 ?). The weather was really good for airsoft today, hovering around 20 celcius and with a fairly low wind, relative to the very breezy game days we've been having. It was still somewhat windy, but it was nowhere near as bad. I know a lot of people complain when it's 20 celcius, but I used to live and play airsoft in Spain; we had to stop playing at around 2pm for siesta because it started to get close to 40 celcius, which was a bit too toasty... Furthermore, hit taking from the shots that I took seemed to be really solid. There was only one player who took a bit of persuasion, but the 2nd hit got him to put his hand up and walk back to respawn. That's the only instance of poor hit taking I saw, and it wasn't even that bad! However, I will harp on like a broken record, because it really got put into perspective today with me playing elsewhere just last week for once... The site is too overgrown and really needs some attention; the entire bottom of the site is lost, the hill connecting the top and the bottom is lost, and the top of the site now is even starting to get really bad. Playing at Allsorts Airsoft last weekend really put it into perspective. At Allsorts I found myself naturally playing more actively, getting stuck into the games a bit more, whilst still being able to find spots where my 30m MED guns could actually do some work, without it feeling overpowered. At Worthing, there's just... too much foliage. Not just from a "it blocks my shots and makes a 30m MED incredibly challenging" perspective, but also from a playing aggressively and more actively perspective. At Allsorts, I didn't go in with the mindset of "I'm going to play active today", I just went in with my normal mindset and ended up naturally playing more actively. I went into today with the same mindset and... I don't like playing more actively at Worthing because there are too many bushes and it's incredibly easy to hide and ambush people; trust me, I've been doing it for years so I appreciate the hypocrisy in me moaning about it now. If you push up, you'll probably get shot by someone sitting in a bush elsewhere, and it leads to just... not as much enjoyment. It's far too easy to hide and far too hard to actually push, which can slow games down. Hell, I managed it today in my OD shirt and a scrim net that I sometimes draped over my cap and scope, with people looking right at me and having no idea I was there. Next game day I'll have my full civvie setup, so flannel + jeans will be out in force. I will go into next game day with both in mind; I will see how much I can get away with when it comes to hiding, considering I'll be in black and white flannel, and some jeans, but I'll also try and spend some of the day playing more actively and see how it goes. Will be an effort, but science must be scienced!

Been making kill flashes(protectors) this weekend, printed the main body so far and just got the disc to laser cut, got some 1.5mm titanium so I can anodise it purple :). This is for a Vortex Spitfire HD GenII 5x.

Just got this fun little gun. A vfc mp7 gen 2 with removable suppressor and 6 mags. Feel like I got a deal at £450 for the whole lot.

You might get lucky, I took a year off but found one of my site memberships (which is all "UKARA" is) was still accepted. If you're planning to play at the same site that issued your membership, I'd ask them if they can renew it. They might be more minded to do it if you ask on-site while playing. If the answer is no, you can still ask retailers if they'll sell to you anyway. They're in the business of selling, not of not selling. Some are sticklers, some don't really care, some even run their own completely bogus schemes. You'll find a way.

Not gonna lie but I'm well chuffed with my McGyvering. I'm constantly running out of room to display my collection so was looking for some of the S Racking like in the first pic, which seems to be an Airsoft World only product but they don't have the mag insterts I wanted so... I'm modified some Hi-cap Stanags to replicate the idea. Each mag can be used as a mag if I need to as the only mod is a 6mm hole in the base plate so the internals can easily be refitted if I need/wanted to, there's a foam insert in each mag to stop the hooks slipping or twisting. I reckon it'll only work with steal mags due to the weight of some of the rifs but I've aquired plenty mags over the years so won't miss them. In theory I'll be able to fit 18 in the same display space as 12 previously.

Added an MWS to the collection. I've swapped some of the L119A1 bits over to it, so the long term plan is find a G&P Storm grip, maybe a spare upper to build a 16" one as well? And of course... magazines! And then another stock and flash hider to go back on the NGRS so I don't have to keep swapping them over ?

Hopefully Well Pro do their normal and do a GBB and AEG version. Be nice to have a AEG version for us normal folks

While i don't have a FAL to compare i do have a VFC G3. It's built like a tank, really solid with a really nice feel and operation. Mine's used and unfortunately it's totally inconsistent and needs a thorough once over. Obviously the only correct answer is to have one of each. My dad had an FAL before they were banned, so it'd be nice to have one as well.

So I have finally recovered from my Airsoft weekend! So I attended Frontline Events Seelow Heights WW2 Airsoft event. I have been doing there events for a long time now but I would thought I would share it with you guys. So Frontline Events focus on Historical Airsoft with a strong focused on WW2. They put on WW2 Airsoft Milsim over the weekend. Last weekend was Seelow Heights so the Soviets pushing the Germans back to Berlin this was a ferrous battle in real life and the Airsoft one was hard fought too. So I arrived Saturday morning to the site I was lent kit for this event as I did not have any Soviet kit normally play German. Got all my kit sorted and got my trusty S&T Kar98k with ZF39 (this gun is upgraded heavily to be a sniper variant) so I was okay Soviet sniper on the Saturday and Soviet Scout on the Sunday roles very close but worked differently. So we went out strong the Soviets in true fashion walked and ran head on into contact! Took heavy losses we regrouped and attacked from another side, I was sent on a few solo missions to disrupt and distract the German forces I did this with grat success getting behind there lines multiple times. Best stand out moment was I climbed I tree took out seven German and they did not know I was there, once clocked me I slide down that tress like it was a fireman's pole!! Then on Sunday equipped with my GBB MP40 I was a soviet scout my role was to find routes or pockets behind the Germans lines to get out soviet troops through. We did this to great success getting behind there lines and capturing the German HQ. All in all another great event by frontline events!! If you ever want to do WW2 Airsoft or anything historical upto about the Falklands they are your guys to do it with!! Check them out.

Are you high or just stupid?

I had delivered today the Bolt Airsoft Cobra. The looks on it are immense! reading through the leaflet, as I do any RiF I purchase, slapped in a small 7.4v lipo andddd SMOKE. Instant smoke from the connection wires and the battery. It’s a brand new battery. Absolutely gutted. On the phone to the retailer and back it goes. ?
