Rather wet day at Spartan woodland today, briefing and first game was lots of rain then mostly cleared up for the day, humidity was high and my fat ass was sweating non stop, even had sweat dripping over the mesh goggles and filling the holes so at points it became difficult to see. VSR was all over the shop, it's old and well used so it's probably time to retire it to a wall hangar and get a new bolt action. M190 did it's usual trick of going full auto after half a mag so meant I couldn't use it half the time as some sections of the site are semi only. Sand viper performed well for my first game day with it, only used it in the first game alongside the M190 as I run dual pistols with the VSR. Switched out to the MP5 and USP from game 2 onwards and thoroughly enjoyed every single second of it, 5 mags kept me going nicely and got quite a few kills with it. On .3's it was doing well out to about 60m but definitely need to get a new barrel and bucking as it's not super consistent and overhops towards the end of flight but managed to work around it for the most part today. Second to last time I decided to take the Mac out with me too which was a hoot even in single shot, will definitely be taking out both next time and running them both in auto for some giggles. Sadly in the final 3 phase game the red dot got shot out on the MP5 in the first phase, right after i'd spent the intermission zeroing it so a little bit gutting but it's only a cheapy and a replacement is about £20. I even bought a sight protector for that exact scenario and decided in the morning it would be fine without... Hindsight and all that. All in all a great day and got to know a few people and played well with them and very much looking forward to the next game day.

G&p xm177e1 , full working... Picked up for £65 from my local site

If you cant catch them, You're obviously chasing the wrong ladies?

Every time I think I have too many guns, I remember that @ButcherBill exists ?

As many of you will know, I like to move my toys around every now and then... finding a place for my new URG-I was needed, my AR variants were a little unloved in the corner so centre stage they went (sorry AK's), I've ordered bits n bobs for the URG-I to trick it out (pics to follow) but OMG how skinny is it? I can actually imagine the GI's in VN thinking the first M16's were toys compared with the M14's they had previously. Tried to keep my favourites & gameday pews prominant & easily accessible but I wanted to get them all on the wall so the G36's & Scar-L's aren't where I'd like them to be but a couple of 2 tones are hiding behind the rif's & I'm happy for now. I have an UZI to pop on another wall but my 'tism' won't let me just put it in any gap so a bit of thought will be needed to get that in 'just the right place'. p.s. the SL8/9 isn't in the right place but that's a move for another day.

To be honest FPS chasing is a bit silly, but especially if you have to gimp your hop to get a few more FPS. A gun that's consistent at 1J will be better than a gun that can push 1.2J but the hop is inconsistent.

Has anyone used the clutch precision parts? I ask as I'd like to buy some upgrade parts but my first experience with them isn't good. I bought their mp7 base plate and not at all satisfied with it, the precision part of their name doesn't seem to be there, had to file and shape it to get to fit correctly and the holes they mill out for the but stock are way too big and don't hold the stock correctly in my book compared to the OEM plastic one (pictured below for comparison). I wouldn't recommend this part to anyone to replace a broken OEM plate instead just get a replacement plastic one with a steal latch as it'll be so much cheaper that this one. Might be designed in Germany but their production is sourced out to Asia and imagine this is where the lack of precision can stem from. Are all of their upgraded parted of the same quality? if so this is a company I'll be putting in the same category as Ra tech and not buying any more from them.

Played at The Big One near Lincoln, run by the Lincolnshire Airsoft Club today. I'm spending more and more of my time in this part of the world and the site is only 20 odd minutes away. They have use of 4 sites, well it will be 4 soon, and The Big One is a fairly dense woodland. The part that we played on today was about 2 acres, which is fine as there were only 20 players. The first play was sort of a standard domination game. There were numerous poles, with a tube that slides on it. It was coloured with red and yellow, our team colours, and you had to have your colour pointing up. Who ever has the most poles displaying their colour wins. I've no idea who won, I was just really enjoying the game, the communication, the hit calling and the terrain. As it is in Lincolnshire, its reasonably flat, ish! I like flat, I'm too old and fat to be running up and down hills. I played at Sixmill near Rugeley a few weeks ago and it was an amazing site but with 140 odd players and a large site on the side of a hill, I was soon knackered amd lost. I did manage to wander, because I was lost, behind the enemy position and got close enough to a sniper to ask him if he wanted to take the hit, or the shot. He took the hit. ? Anyway, second game was an attack and defend where we, the attacking team, had to get 2 jerry cans into a crater that the red team where defending. 10 second medic and 60 second bleed out where in play. I'd love to say that we got close but we didn't. The defenders were dug in to some proper cracking spots and we just couldn't get close. Again, really good terrain and excellent game play from both teams. I did get shot in the side, a few minutes, after game end at one point as he hadn't heard the end command! I wasn't impressed but found it funny enough! Lol I was using my G&G CM16 Warthog as my DD EMG MK18 is in peices on my dining table. I just can't get the power to a usable lever! I suppose I'm going to have to ask a billion questions to get it sorted. Also couldn't carry my P226 as I forgot gas and wasn't buying more just for today! Ive loads at home.

I bought a Midwest Industries for my A&K 249. Beautifully made piece. Unfortunately not a direct fit though. Found a suitable CO2 cylinder for you guys with the VFC:

Use the gun and see what actually needs changing if anything

Oh huh. So far the VFC MP7 Backplate has been like their one consistently good product. Everything else has had issues. Hell they made a steel bolt for the WE SVD that simply would not fit, the dimensions were completely wrong. They blamed WE for getting the dimensions wrong and crashed out really hard. They say German designed but the guy who runs it is Latvian and ships to within the EU form there. Packages to outside the EU come directly from their subcontractors in China. They use a machine-to-order online service to save money, instead of a single production partner. So every batch is made by a different manufacturer and some of them are much worse than the others. Talking things like the MP7 Magazine Baseplates going from genuinely great one batch to simply not fitting at all in the next batches. Cannot recommend you avoid them enough. I have their Steel MP7 Bolt as a damn paperweight now. The nozzle bore is the wrong size so the nozzle just rattles around in there.

Hey guys. Just purchased my hk416 and can't wait to get it in my hands. Been a GBBR guy all my Airsoft life and had many different ones my main one being a we l85 that I've owned since 2014 so changing to the vfc M4 platform will be a big change up for me. Got the vfc mp7 gen 2 I plan to run as a side arm along with the 416. Will be keeping the l85 as a back up rifle as keeps with my ex British forces mind set.

Don't got chasing FPS you're not at a disadvantage with a standard TM

Pointing out the new hammer is helpful as they are known to break but I wonder why the seller thought it was smarter to push some sensationalist tabloid nonsense in the title instead of something useful like "Combat Master" and whether it's the EMG or Jag Precision version or an unlicensed brand using the markings, the latter of which may be to conceal the actual value.

Is it not better to get the gun first to confirm the muzzle energy or is this a used gun that has been chrono tested? I assume you're talking about the NGRS version of the M4 CQBR and not the GBBR or are you talking about the buffer spring with a GBBR? What's the context of a "cheaper alternative"? Adjusting your fps or a less expensive gun itself? You don't need to give War and Peace but it really helps when you're more forthcoming and transparent with details.

I mean no one can beat a rental. They're unburdened by neither equipment nor experience, their blood hot from wearing a thick, black hoodie in high summer. BBs dare not touch them.

I'm gonna suggest if it was genuine TM in the £500 GunSmith Bros kit he'd definitely be mentioning it.... Also drum mag on a gbbr tell me thats been run on ridiculous round counts at stoopid pressures with out saying "I'm a speedsofter".

All the kids joining in the school holidays to ask dumb questions (where they'll probably ignore the answers if it's not what they want to be told) or try to sell their kit for stupidly high prices

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/gas-powered_1/john-wick-loves-this-even-more-than-his-dog_i83574 I love it when "I cleaned and lubed this" is a sales feature.

The little black rectangular stickers on the mags - he bought those from Asia, so the mags are more like £40 each - as I literally just had one arrive from Asia yesterday at £45 inc shipping from HK. Edit: Zoomed in on the PEQ and torch - PEQ is a clone, as the aiming adjustment collar is brass. The surefire light is a clone as i've got the exact same one sat in a box, fucked from moisture ingress, the markings are not even close to looking real.

Surefire and Peq15 could be real, unlikely though. lol

The meth is good in Bexley at the moment

Hi All, Please see my first build. Boneyard G&G and a look I seen on Insta. Just need to rough the paint up and it will be good. Would love to see what others thoughts are. This is also my first post so apologies if I get things wrong. I will be moving on to internals so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Wait, you're meant to actually look where you're shooting? Laughs in blind-fire (For best results, shout "Get some!" while shooting.)

What about red go faster stripes on the bb's? Will they make market stall springers break legal limits?

Just adjust hop to get best flight, there's no point in dialling it for max FPS as you're likely to either have BB's dropping or flying up into space.

Wait, you’re meant to actually shoot straight…? laughs in 7000 rounds

More colours more better?

FB caught up with him. lol. It was a Raven 1911 with blue slide and grips, maybe spare mag nut not sure. bottle of bb's. Bottle of Gas and a crappy nylon holster.......£200! Edit: Just remembered he valued the pistol at £120. lol

Plenty pdw's/smg's in you price range & an H&K 416

Cqb bolt fitted but still does 315fps on 0.25g bbs So too hot for 99% of cqb sites then

Had the chance to compare a real L85 against the WE on the weekend, really neat to see all the little differences in fit and feel and record a bit of video of it too

"Look guys, nobody wants my aliexpress shit, I've got to sell it somehow!"

Obviously doesn't know the mp7 platform. This one's worse than the we not even full size, just to think the price he's after I got a vfc gen 2 with 6 mags for similar price.

Fucking lmao all of us rushing to post that one. On what planet is the KWA the absolute GOAT of MP7s? It's a pile of junk, and definitely not worth anywhere near that much. Bro is really trying to market the hell out of this thing.

They're just copying the shite people put on the sales ads for retail lmao. DOMINATE the field with the KWA MP9 it's FEROCIOUS kick will make you nut in SECONDS

DOMINATE THE RENTALS.

Whenever I see this (made by yours truly):

Played Apocalypse Sunday Skirmish. Had a really good time. New site for me, free game courtesy of the Modern Warrior airsoft shop which they offer if you spend £150, nice. Site was very nice and well maintained, not overgrown like a lot of woodland sites, lots of structures/barricades to clear or hide out in. Lots of open 'no mans land' spaces to negotiate in the mix. It was busy but its a big site so there was space to move without getting shot at and with the layout there were good opportunities to flank the enemy positions or try to come in from another direction. Only real challenge is the walk up the steep hill from the car park, had to do this twice to get all my kit on site. I will pack better next time. Was a misty cold start, then a bit of rain before it turned into a sweat box 2/3 seasons in one game day, double nice!! Games were great fun, nice mix of attack and defend for all sides in every game compared to the usual playing each scenario twice. 1st game was rescue the injured pilot, we attacked the other team to rescue the pilot then had to take him/her back to a location and defend until extraction. Lots of different play going on with sniping/DMR keeping us in cover for a couple of players with pistols / AEG's to sneak or run at us. We only just held out with the other team making a big push in the last 5 minutes. 2nd game was pure domination, 3 locations, hold 2 out of 3 at the end to win. We held 1 until the last 2/3 mins when a group of about 10 of us at respawn decided to have a suicidal rush at one of the locations. We took it right before the end of the game and were lucky the game ended when it did as the reds were using the same tactic in the last few seconds to take it back. 3rd game was capture the flag. We were split into 3 teams and had to capture the flag and return it to our base while the other 2 teams tried to do the same. Was a great game and not one I've played before. We had a fast paced teenager who ran in, grabbed the flag and took it back to our base very quickly while the rest of us provided covering fire. It was then a game of keeping the flag for 45 mins, as expected very intense towards the end. I ran out of BB's and the battery was running low in the MP5 so had to drop to my trusty Sig in the last couple of minutes, should use semi more, it's not a LMG!! Gun choice was the Cyma Platinum MP5 and WE Sig 226, great combo and they shot really well. Also took my newly acquired (used) TM AK47 EBB for bad guy duties, it chrono'd well but died after a couple of mags, just stopped working and doesn't make the Gate boot up noise so suspect something electronic, maybe a fuse if it has one, has fried and needs investigation. Players were 99% friendly, a couple of lads got a bit salty with the Marshalls at one point. Hit taking was very good and incoming fire stopped as soon as you put your hand up which is a nice surprise from the last couple of sites I've played where overkill is the name of the game. On site shop was good, well stocked and very busy. Didn't have anything from the burger van but given most of the players did I can only consider it as good. Will be going again!!

I remember back when they did sort of allow it around 12 years ago. Bought my first rif from an Airsoft selling group. Now they are too twitchy because they don't like fire arms full stop.

MFers will absolutely refuse to sell something like that as Boneyard despite it being completely nonfunctional

But if it had all the parts that it doesn't have, it would work perfectly.

That was... really good today. Went to Worthing Airsoft as usual for an absolute scorcher with my MWS-based mk12, as it was shooting really well last game day and today was no different. I was using a much lighter kit today, as I removed the PRS stock from the MWS in favour of trying a CTR instead, and I did like it a lot. The real-steel Magpul CTR stocks clip really sturdily into place so there's basically no stock wobble with them. Sleeper-mega-upgraded Bell 1911 as my sidearm as well, as it feels just so nice to shoot, and this weather is perfect for it with its heavy metal slide. First game was a big game that lasted all morning with loads of objectives. There were collectibles that we had to recover and bring back to our base, but these could be stolen out of each team's base, as well as blocks of "uranium" that were needed to make a bomb. There were 5 blue and 5 yellow blocks, with each team not being allowed to interfere with the other team's blocks, and once all 5 were collected we had to bring them to a scientist who was roaming the gameplay area and escort him to one of the bases. The scientist had to be controlled with a hand on his shoulder, or he could shoot, drop pyro and be a general nuisance and could only be subdued for 90 seconds with leg shots. I decided to set up near our base to dissuade any sneaky antics from the yellows. Managed to pick a lot of people off trying to pop out from a thick area of vegetation, but mostly spent the time relaying enemy movements to my team. I did hit a very sneaky yellow who went all the way around the site and was snooping around our base. However, my magnum opus came as the yellow team had the scientist and did a massive push to the base they needed. I hadn't been cleared and had a great line onto this base, so I played patient and waited for the yellow team to push with the scientist into a little killbox area before I went to town on them. This was a prime example of a DMR being far more useful than a bolt action as I was able to, over the course of about 5 minutes, clear out pretty much their entire team as they tried to medic each other, crawl out and generally try and survive the mean flannel with the GBBR DMR who was bullying them ? I did get taken out eventually because my friend got the scientist and then led him right over to where I was, only for the scientist to get shot and take a knee in the open. We managed to recover, with me pointing my pistol at the scientist's legs to stop him from doing anything against us, however I spotted a lot of yellows trying to push out from where I could no longer cover because I had to keep the scientist under control. I told the 4 players near me that they were massing at this exact point, but... well, you know nobody listened and then all got taken out from that exact position. I managed to keep low enough to remain undetected, but then traded with a yellow player who pushed up to grab the scientist. After that I respawned in and spent the rest of the game trying to hold back what seemed like a yellow tide as we got pushed way back to our base. Once again, got a lot of kills with the MWS, and bounced a BB off a rental's mask that he just... ignored, though eventually it was lunch time and the game was over. Pretty sure we lost that one, but it was at least closer than it felt at the end. After lunch I was a proper mercenary. Because the marshalls kept swapping me and my friend between teams as the ebb and flow changed and more and more players called it early because they were melting. First game we were still on blue and we had to defend the same base that we had in the morning, with yellows having to get into it to plant a bomb to blow it up. Got into my same position as the morning and continued to pick people off trying to be sneaky. Yellows got nowhere near the base. Then the next game was a timed assault on the tower base. We were still on blue and we attacked first, with me and my friend deciding to go on a long flank to take up a position to pincer the yellows with the rest of our team. It went pretty well, with my friend pushing aggressively to clear some players off, then I tucked in and got into a position to cover both the entrance of the tower itself and also another popular spot that the defenders liked. Spent the whole game clearing people off those two spots and our team eventually got in. 12 mins isn't a bad time, but the defense would be tough... ...is what I would say, but me and my friend got balanced onto yellow team, so on the attack again we went. You bet we did the exact same thing, but blue team were wise to my shenanigans and were spraying the area I wanted to go intermittently. However, their focus on me and an unfortunate wind direction carrying the red smoke (red smokes are incendiary at Worthing) allowed my friend to push up super quickly and just... take them all out. By the time I got into my spot, we got into the base and completed the attack on the yellow side. 7 mins and change. Then last game of the day was a three base domination in a very close area of the site, all around the tower area. And you know me and my friend got balanced back onto blue team after the numbers were called in. 6 blues vs 18 yellows wasn't exactly a fair fight, so they balanced the two of us, plus another experienced player so it was 9 blues vs 15 yellows instead, but with some experienced players on the 9. The game ended in a draw, but only because someone managed to throw a red smoke grenade right next to the tower which totally cleared it out. We were dominating for most of the game controlling all three bases for most of the game, but they managed to grab one back and then deny the third with a smoke at the end leading to a draw. I love hot weather airsoft. This is my thing and I thrive in it. When winter rolls around I'll be moaning and groaning about the rain and the cold and the general horrible conditions, but for now... all those people who teased me for being a "fair weather airsofter" but can't handle a bit of heat... Oh, I'm loving watching these very same people now struggle. Fair weather airsofters, the lot of 'em! ? And the flannel is too OP. Started joking it was my flannel of invisibility with how much I was getting away with through the day. Going to pick up some Hawaiian shirts from Aliexpress when their sale goes live tonight, mostly because they'll be thinner than the flannel (the flannel is a bit heavy for this weather), but also because they're even more obvious than the black and white flannel I've been apparently invisible in.

Despite being very tired this morning after a few days away that involved a lot of walking in Dorset, I set off bright and early (well, at 07:00) for Airsoft Plantation. After meeting up with the usual suspects, I took the LCT PP-19-01 out to test it properly with my new improved mags. For those who do not know, the midcaps for this gun have huge feeding issues and, as everything that I had tried to improve them had failed, I was on the point of selling it when I decided to have one last try at sorting it out. I ordered a couple of the Arcturus mags; unsurprisingly, they were completely the wrong shape for the LCT magwell. However, after a bit of minor surgery to the internals and to a a couple of the LCT magazine shells, they fed perfectly. Another seven were purchased and converted, all of which fed perfectly; success!. The first game involved us, as the Red team, having to attack the village from the border and set off pyros in three named structures in sequence. We had infinite regens on a marshal, while the defenders had two lives. I started off on the left flank of our attack; the defenders put up a very strong resistance, which held us up for ages. Having been hit, I moved over to our right flank, where we began to make progress as we wore the defenders down. Pushing along the flank, we cleared the area around the Land Rovers and the fuel dump as our colleagues did the same down the other side and through the centre. All three pyros were delivered to their targets, after which we went back to the safe zone to take on fluids and reload. With everyone refreshed, the game was reversed. I took up a position on our right, covering the routes that I had tried to use at the beginning of the previous game. In a target rich environment, I got lots of kills; inevitably, I was eventually hit and fell back to the comms shack where a group of us put up a stiff fight until we were overrun. The game ended with the Blue team achieving the objective four minutes more rapidly than we had managed. After taking on more fluids, we set off for a slightly different game. Eight of us were each given a very large bank note (about 30cm x 15cm); setting up in the mortar pits, where we had one life each, we had to prevent the attackers from obtaining the bank notes for as long as possible. Once they had them all, they had to deliver them to the plane at the DEA base; the catch was that, in order to travel from the far end of the of the site to the mortar pits and then to travel from there to the DEA base, they had to take the double decker bus. As many players as there were seats had to travel on it, singing "The wheels on the bus", while everyone who could not fit on walked behind it. Nobody could fire and the walking attackers could not spread out until the bus had stopped. We had one life at each of the mortar pits and the DEA base, while the attackers had infinite regens on the bus. Crawling under the Bedford, I attempted to hide myself in the rather limited area between the bottom of the wooden deck and the cross members below it; if I had been somewhat smaller, this might have been more successful! However, it worked reasonably well, as it took the attackers a while to find me and, when they did, I shot a fair few of them. Having been well and truly peppered with BBs, I eventually managed to extricate myself from my hiding place and handed over my bank note. Joining my colleagues and taking up a position in the bushes at the DEA base, we awaited the arrival of the big grey bus. Once it stopped on the edge of the DEA base, it was greeted with a hail of fire, but the enemy who had followed the bus on foot engaged us and, eventually, they managed to get the money to the plane. It was now lunch time and, as I was enjoying using the PP-19-01 so much with mags that actually fed, I decided to use it in the afternoon; therefore, I put the battery on charge. AP has a few basic chargers for players to use. As it was the second Sunday of the month, the regular raffle was drawn; the proceeds from this are used to pay the waste disposal costs for the site rather than putting the price up. As usual, I did not win. After lunch, we went back to the village; we were attacking from the fire break with infinite regens on our start point and our aim was to get as many players as possible into the town hall by the end of the game. The defenders had two lives each. As we could attack from anywhere along the firebreak, I joined a group who were pursuing my favourite approach of sweeping around the far end of the village and attacking it from the rear. We got held up by a fierce resistance in the woods, but fought our way to the sniper tower and the blue barrels, where we were again pinned down. Pushing out slightly, I moved into the suburbs, where I was promptly shot by my own side who assumed that I was a defender. Some of our team were getting into the town hall and, just before the game ended, more of us made a run for it. A few were hit along the way but the rest of us piled in, with me being the 31st and last. When the game was reversed, I occupied the first floor of a structure on the main road across the front of the village, from where I could pick off attackers over a 90 degree arc and also call out enemy movements to my colleagues. They pushed hard and we held them back, but it was apparent that the bulk of them were advancing through the suburbs, so some of our group moved to help resist them there; when the game ended they had managed to get 30 players in the town hall, so I am claiming that as a personal win :). The plan for the final game was to reverse the bus one. We set off from the far end of the site, with the players on the bus singing the annoying song; having sung it so many times to my boys when they were little, there was no way I was going to sing it again, so I walked behind the bus. As soon as the bus halted, a cease fire was called as a pyro had caused a fire; this was put out and the game resumed, only to be halted again almost immediately as one of our team had managed to injure himself. While he was attended to, the rest of us moved to the village for a game of capture the cow. We started by the safari car, while the blue team started at the border; the cow was positioned by the well in the village. When the game started, a group of us moved towards the direction the enemy were coming from in an attempt to prevent them getting into the village or at least delay them until our colleagues could grab the cow and get it back to the safari car. This plan worked well apart from the bits about us stopping or delaying the enemy and our colleagues grabbing the cow. After a good, hard fight, the enemy managed to grab Ermintrude and get her back to their start point. As usual, it was an excellent, if very hot and sweaty, day of challenging airsoft played in a really good spirit, which seemed to be enjoyed by everyone, with the possible exception of the chap who injured himself at the end. Hopefully, it isn't too bad and he will soon be back out on the field. Weapons used: LCT PP-19-01 ASG XP18 Commander (CO2) Weapon not used: APS UAR
