My third RIF post this week... It's been about 30 years since I first wanted an airsoft Bizon and thanks to AliExpress, the final piece arrived today, nearly 2 months after ordering: the OKP-7 RDS (which came in a suspiciously Russian box, with Russian instructions 🤔). I've tried to keep it as authentic as possible by using Russian kit and Zenitco repro furniture. Currently clearing every room in my house like some bat-wearing ninja. 😄 Parts list: Cyma PP-19 Bizon-2 AEG Platinum gearbox, Laylax 6.03mm barrel, ML bucking and nub OKP-7 red dot sight, flip-up lense protector [5KU] PBS-1 mini suppressor Painstakingly fitted front rails at 3 and 9 [WADSN] K-2P flashlight [5KU] Zenitco B-13 optic mount [5KU] Zenitco PK-3 grip [Hephaestus] (modified) Stock rail adaptor

I actually like the costume part. My second ever game was a halloween one and i went alone, not knowing anyone. Being in a stupid animal onesie was a really good ice breaker and i ended up talking to loads of people, it made the day so much more fun. That's pretty much my view on it all. Everyone's enjoying themselves, not harming anyone else.

Throw away email too, definitely using ebay photos and scamming

£700, to a seller who only joined today with no previous sales history reeks of scammer to me Plus the listing is on eBay.com , and apparently the used Airsoft listing is showing London Double reeks of fish to me 😂

Well the OG AKs with milled style receivers arrived....

Not sure of it's the same seller or if they just used the same photos, but a Google lens search brings up this. That's £930 https://www.ebay.com/itm/365792190675?itmmeta=01K6ZM0ZH5X7JMJV2QG7Y30AQF&hash=item552ae9e0d3:g:OSEAAeSwEOJomj8E&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30kzWibD%2FSabVnwF3n8pnm59OfTMe5r%2BCsxMxHG42JdF3e%2BQqjGzR49sIUejQgA1R1zgp4JwtLGPryKhVRIVCdrOVDXOicNygoXkgbuejWeY%2F2hXgZSHk7x4dKaLNu6Cqe93G%2BSBjINO%2Bu%2B6yio2F0IqAW6Dswzts2OLtlw4TF7hh9%2F%2BSmmol7o07pv7pQMDuR9qrx6XGwVqN96a8G9L6SZufOC7pQOU%2FZq54rik8AC9aDbp7s%2BE6psD38oC9KYZJf6SsqfJhdifnUEIGDn88nS2|tkp%3ABFBM2PiD9Ldm

Denim and tiger, a match made in Heaven.

I have a 96 SG in cherry red. Gibson.

New guitar day ! The Jay Dee Old boy has arrived , about a 20 month wait from ordering . I decided on a green burst colour scheme, which they have repeated on the back and up the neck . It's bloody awesome , slick neck , low action , pickups sound great .

Oh hang on, yeah I bumped into one of those the other day on UsedAirsoft. Surprisingly cheap VFC SCAR, slow to reply, would only take bank transfer. Reverse searched the images and yeah, nicked from an eBay listing in the States. I pointed this out and declined the sale, and he spun an absolutely bizarre tale over a series of emails about an international group that was selling the same guns and could move them wherever. I just told him that there's gotta be easier marks to waste emails on.

No your not creating a RIF, it already was a RIF.

Definately the same the "spy kit john wick james bond" in the title the same.

Finally replaced my worlds worst red dot (TM) with a decent Vector maverick gen 2

Fingers crossed! Although I’ve now lost the teeny tiny plastic bit that sits in the store selector dial that pops into the little hole hahaha! Couldn’t write this.

Should add some for rule against stunts like that. Something like posts dprice must be the actual price, if unsure post £1234. Wow that is belter, reckon he was ripped of if he paid that new, let alone trying to flog it for that. lol

Very nice ! This makes my 3rd SG, one Gibson, one Epiphone and now the JayDee . The gibson and Epi both have custom shop Iommi pickups in them , the JayDee has their own Iommi pickups which are a P90 as opposed to the humbuckers that Gibson make . Only had time to give it a quick try , but the pickups do sound different to the Gibson ones . Iommi is the reason I wanted to pick up a guitar, and I play in a local Sabbath tribute band , so SG's are a definite thing for me 🤘

Apparently the Comrade Quiche load adapter is worth the money, though I have no first hand experience

I would rather get this new and pay £199.99 https://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/product/umarex-walther-ppk-s-gas-blowback-pistol-with-silencer-kit-214184

Nice find. A drop of super glue should sort that out. Give it a test of course to make sure that's the only damage. The harder problem to find is if the metal wire inside is broken but not the plastic sleeve

WTF... Greedy Fucker.

When a seller doesn't list the brands of the accessories or the size of the shirt & boots, it's a challenge to take the listing seriously as most of it could have been cheap Ali Express job. Not specifying the brand and model of "goggles" is a huge red flag that starters may not even be aware of. I hope so. It was removed once before when I saw it didn't meet Rule 5.

It's more likely (I hope...) that he took it down 🤞

I feel sorry for whoever bought it https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/tokyo-marui-biohazard-albert-w-model-umbrella.html

Yeah it's a pain for sure but think of it as a chance to learn. Make sure to unplug the battery just in case it's a short circuit. Good luck and feel free to PM if you need more help

I wonder what a none working SomoGear MK1 Ngal would bring ? Thank you to everyone who has replied to my original post I genuinely appreciate the advice and guidance.

One of the sites that I frequent has a 60m range, which is slightly inadequate, so I have used Google Maps to identify a spot that is 70m from one of the helicopters and has a clear line of sight to it. The other site does not have a range so I have identified a spot that is 70m from a structure. If I have been fiddling with a gun, I take my box of springs, some hop rubbers and nubs and my toolkit and arrive early and spend time setting it up.

Update. Well! We don’t know what actually happened. Rang PB, they said my delivery was due out today after not being in yesterday, despite me taking in the incorrect order!? So we were all confused. But it has actually arrived this evening! I was also awarded a £10 voucher from PB for being honest about receiving somebody else’s order and collection has been arranged for DPD to collect incorrect order tomorrow. And both times the wife hasn’t been in ask me what I’ve been ordering! Everything is well in the world 🥹

you bring what you're good at to the game. some people are good at sneaking, some are good at running about, some can think like their enemy, and some can open up the clockwork nightmare that is an airsoft gearboxx and actually improve it. so yes, getting fitter or learning to hide better is going to help your game, but so is being able to hit people at ranges they can't hit you. none of these are any more of less valid ways of gaining an edge.

Thanks to a member on here. Now sourced a L107A1 - P228

In principle, I love this idea, especially the fire rate, ive always thought it should match the irl equivalent, to that end, mag capacities should also match. But In our "irl" we've got hpa dsg stubby box mag m4's, used by Teflon coated 360 no-scopers, what chance have we got of a reasonably level playing field😬

I’m flexible on price boys, truth is that’s what I paid for it, they ain’t getting any cheaper.

I will say that my arguments for higher limits will come from a position of bias as I pretty much always do long range airsoft and it's what I enjoy (my longest hit in a game was 124m, but it was basically archery from an elevated position), but with how good hop ups are now, bolt actions and DMRs are a lot less useful with their current power levels. Granted, I still use them because it's what I enjoy, but in practical airsoft terms you gain very little from using a bolt action or DMR. I've done... a lot of testing with this, because I'm a big long-range enthusiast, and I'll go into details below. The TL:DR is that hops are good, and in airsoft practicality (not range accuracy, but a "I can hit that airsofter over there" in game) a regular 1.14J gun can hit players at the same ranges as a 2.32J bolt action rifle. I don't think we'd ever get higher limits anyway, because airsoft power limits are set by law (1.3J max full auto, 2.5J max semi/bolt action) and so we are constrained by that. The only variation tends to be on DMRs as even for me living in the black hole of airsoft sites that is Sussex, I've seen them at 1.48J (Gunman), 1.64J (Southdown/Allsorts), 1.88J (Worthing/Driver Wood) and 2.32J (Shift Your RIFT) Now if you want to indulge in my autism, read on. If not, stop reading and save yourself before it's too late... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll preface what I'm about to say by saying that I don't care if your "bolt action hits 100m easily". I've been building sniper rifles and DMRs for decades, and I know in my eyes what the effective range is for a 2.3J gun; every time someone makes what I consider an outlandish or exaggerated claim about their gun's range, I have found it to be overstated 100% of the time and usually shoot worse than my rifles. My measure for "effective range" is being capable of hitting a man-sized target at least 8/10 times, preferably 9/10 times, in ideal shooting conditions (no wind, good visibility). All of my findings are from just me spending time on the range and tinkering with different guns and different approaches, so it's all coming where the shooter has the same standards. A well-tuned bolt action will hit a man-sized target pretty accurately at 75m with a relatively flat trajectory (a tiny little bump at the end of the shot). You'll probably be able to hit 85m as well, but that requires a bit of angling or increasing the hop up a little bit. You can hit out further, though at this point there's progressively more and more luck involved with the shot as range increases. It will involve more aggressive angling of the gun and the gun is probably moving when you rack the bolt with each shot, making it a challenge to reset to the exact same position. A well-tuned DMR (assuming 1.88J) will hit a man-sized target pretty accurately at 70m with much the same trajectory. You'll probably be able to hit out to 75 - 80m as well with the same practices of angling or increasing hop a little bit. It's also easier to do this as it's quicker and easier to make follow up shots with a DMR and so you might be able to hit a target out to that same 85m as the bolt action as you can walk in your shots a lot easier. Again, you can hit out further, but as range increases, so does the luck element. A well-tuned 1.14J gun will hit a man-sized target pretty accurately at ~55m with the same trajectory. You can also hit 60m pretty often too with gentle angling. However, the big difference here is that you have full-auto, and therefore the angling component of getting more range is so much easier. After all, a hit is a hit and it doesn't matter if that hit was one well placed shot, or 100 BBs sprayed at an angle. I haven't managed to hit 85m (partially because the tree canopy stopped me from that aggressive level of angling), but I have easily hit 75m with a 1.14J gun by flipping it to full auto and spraying at an angle (the target is metal and makes a delightfully audible pinging noise when hit). Is it as accurate as a bolt action rifle hitting it with 9/10 shots? No. Does that matter in airsoft gameplay terms? Not really; a hit is still a hit and that player is still going back to respawn. You also have no MED, which is nice. Accuracy by volume is a big part of effectiveness in airsoft because of how inaccurate our guns are.

Zombie themed Halloween games. In fact I'd go even further and say all holiday themed games. Inevitably they're always the same, just with some people in costume and the same cookie cutter games with bugger all thought gone into the actual game mechanics

I went to a game last month and this bloke had a go pro on his helmet, the side of his rifle, a scope cam and even had one mounted on the lower RIS on his side arm. One of my buddies asked him if he does youtube and he said not really its so I can improve my tactics when i watch it back. Pretty sure this hits alot of your statements lol

Progenitor😎

3D printing an airsoft gun would not be illegal. However if they are black or other realistic colour assembling gun would be manufacture of a RIF you would need a defence. If it is a conversion kit going on an already existing RIF then that does not need a defence.

This actually happened. Guy behind tree: "Push up lads!" 2 minutes later: Guy still behind tree: "PUSH UP LADS LETS SEE SOME AGGRESSION - SECTION ATTACK NOW!" 2 minutes later - he grabs a bunch of new players after trying to rope me in to it all and proceeds to explain to them a rough section attack. He then watches them try it and all get hit and then goes back to the tree. ENDEX Guy still behind tree: "We lost because we didn't push up."

You're so cringe...... Actually, that sounds like a really hard way to live - well done for still attending even with the struggles you have.

PRS make some stunning guitars., and thats a beute ! I'm an SG fan mainly. Hugely into Sabbath, here are my main 2. The Gibo has 2 Iommi custom pickups and the Epi has the same in the bridge. I have got a Jaydee Oldboy on order, build slot is about 12 months away yet ! Copy of Iommi's main guitar , made by the same people that make his , can't wait ! It'll be a trip up to Birmingham to collect it and have a look around the workshop.
