My favourite sentence to do with data analysis is “the stats don’t lie” as an undergraduate studying stats I don’t think I have ever seen a better system making lies and falsehoods seem true. im with Churchill on this “the only statistics you can trust are the one’s you have falsified yourself”

We all need to make our own choices and make sure what we do is sensible and have others in mind. personally I would limit my exposure to other people in this situation too.

Nothing wrong with the advert per se, just wondering if the guy runs a fetish website from home... 😅

It's his handbag obviously, matches his new outfit 😜

As Roger has pointed out, all the published guidance & regulations are subject to change. The guidance at 14 September included references to paintball thanks to engagement by the UKPSF. Government were treating paintball as an activity along with theme parks, and then after discussions placed it among shooting activities. Advice on how to apply the guidance and what are considered Covid safe precautions have been sent to UKPSF member sites. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do/coronavirus-outbreak-faqs-what-you-can-and-cant-do These will then need to be applied against todays changes, regional situations, and site specifics

Amazon viper hood turned up a few weeks early. Helikon Polish woodland cap Viper radio pouch Battery Extension Unit for my ARP9 Hopefully a bag of 400 leaves will turn up today ready for my leafy hood creation! Nipped to Hobbycraft earlier, got some acrylic ink to dye my leaves and a few more "crafty" bits!

I think you are being a bit cynical there, if they say they have a vaccine, why would they lie????🙄

For "currently", and the UK, although I will correct that to "influenza and pneumonia". https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsregisteredweeklyinenglandandwalesprovisional/latest I present these for context. About 1,700 people a day die in the UK, each one a personal tragedy. I don't make light of SARS-COV-2, any more than I would any other serious disease. But it's not that special in terms of lethality, and we're never going to eradicate it, vaccine or otherwise, so it's a question of what the New New Normal is going to look like, and for how long. Aside, there have been five cases of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, MERS-CoV, in the UK this year (3 imported, 2 local linked to them) - that's never gone away either, there's no vaccine for it, and it has a 35% mortality rate. It just stopped spreading so fast, as many viruses do. That's our best hope for SARS-COV-2 at this point. Looks like. Greet Leader Nicola is about to give us the New New Normal for Scotland, which I expect to be worse, not better.

This is the crux of the matter. Too many people in general are taking the "I'm alright Jack" approach without consideration for the wider effect they are having. It's not just about you, or your immediate household but all those people that you may come into contact with on a daily basis. You go to a group activity, someone has undiagnosed Covid and passes it to you. You don't have symptoms so you go about your life as you would, being careful but still "getting on as best you can". You go to the shops, you go to work, you go to the pub. Spreading it about for all to catch, all completely unaware that you are an asymptomatic carrier. Yes, it's a shit situation, yes it sucks that you can't do the things you want to but this is not a scenario we have had to deal with in our lifetime (not even in my Dad's lifetime and he's 94). It's time for society as a whole to realise that it's "us" not "I".

There are occasions where I seriously consider liquidating my collection to swap over to GBBR's.

Helikon training mini-rig from Bullseye Country Sport. Gotta love Woodland gear....and should be nice & light. (4 Mags, 4 Pistol mags and lots of space in both pouches for skittles)

The short version is: I'll go airsofting as long as I'm allowed to. Its an interesting question - I can certainly imagine a situation whereby I could go airsofting but would feel weird / inappropriate about it. That being said we are in a weird/interesting position where we have to think about the relationship between our individual actions and the collective impact. For those of us who have special considerations - be it ones health, age, or proximity to those who more at risk - then yes some difficult decisions would have to be made, and they have my utmost sympathy. But for the rest of us, its a matter of doing our best to follow the government guidelines - ultimately as much as individual behaviour is a factor, the problem is so huge that really its beyond most of our pay grades. Whilst I suppose there is little practical benefit for doing so, there is little harm in taking stock and being grateful that we can go and enjoy ourselves when many others, for whatever reason, can't. But I wouldn't beat myself up about it either - we can only do our best to do our best. As for other hobbies - airsoft is my big hobby. My only online presence is airsoft related. I have other ways of spending my time - computer games, exercise, just dicking about in the countryside... but airsoft really combines all of what I enjoy about those respective things and the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts.

Airsoft International employs quality jounalists who never use hot guns or illegal home made pyros...

Hi folks, I’m new to the forum, however have been playing Airsoft since around 2007. Played at quite a few sites across the south of the country. I usually play at Finmere or The Gaol but have recently discovered Sentinel site in Dunstable. Anybody local to Milton Keynes area? Looking forward to chatting to you all! Joe

I think they will have to put more outside no 10 not less! Lol Look out Boris 😉 Regards 'Start wiggley daydream lines' I remember back in the early seventies when they had the green goddesses fire engines manned by territorial lads stationed at church halls and such. That was when the brigade went on strike. 'End wiggley daydream lines' 🤭🤭 Regards

I don’t think a case if if you’re prepared to play or not anymore, it will be will the site’s be prepared to chance the £10000 fine ? All it will take for some disgruntled neighbour of the site calling in the old bill and bad times had by all if they catch 7 in a group if/when they rock up..... TBH most of this could have been avoided if the minority actually followed the rules /addition ms sturgeon had a little press conference right after Bozzer’s and was chattering about curfew’s

Having dealt with Russian sources of information I'm far more than cynical of Russias announcements on a vaccine, let alone with any consideration to their production and test regimes.

I have high levels of confidence of this project 🙃

I've been taking vit D for that reason. Not just the BAME population - most of us in the Western world are deficient due to change in the nature of occupations and spending most time indoors. The way I figure it is more vit D in my system can't be a bad thing...

“the stats don’t lie”, also "Lies, damned lies, and statistics". Statistics are ideal for whatever you're trying to frame.

I do enjoy a bit of doom laden scaremongering based on predicted guesswork. when this started France and Spain presented us the future with a 2 week lead time. they are doing the same now and our scientific advisers appear to be Ignoring the data to give us imaginary figures when France and Spain’s graphs in real time bear no resemblance but hey ho the economy doesn’t matter It appears And don’t get me started on the cure is worse than the disease in the bigger picture of healthcare

From the “front pages” on the bbc news - You have to wonder what has to happen to make these fools understand the rules ? And I bet 50% of these are the ones that will kick off when they “un-duh-stand” the new rules* ...... EEEEJITS !!! *then ignore them

From what I’ve read elsewhere looks like any indoor site is right royally screwed - “The Department CBQ” just closed its doors again looking like Z-Mart and ProjectX will have to follow suit ?

The one that gets me in reviews is when a gun has loads of parts changed before it's fired a shot. Personally I'd like to know how it performs out of the box before spending half the cost of the gun on upgrades.

slightly off topic but still related in a way, i spent weeks preparing Covid documents for our grassoots football club, 18 teams and 20+ coaches I had to detail as much as possible and some as simple as possible for people to follow, some very grateful for it and follow it all, some you dont even get a thanks from then they moan. This though means our club is covered if anything should go wrong. We even have a QR code tracking system for people who attend our home games. From having two games away with my son so far, other clubs seem to not even both one bit, so its not just Airsoft sites and other venues that may be lacking here. Some will do the very minimum, probably due to costs, where as others will go all out to make you feel safe on the day End of they day you need to make sure you are doing whats right for you and your family, as you cant rely on others to follow

That being said... the minority certainly ruin it for the majority. For instance I saw recently about a person who had a confirmed case and still decided to go out to a gathering resulting in numerous infections. Now while I'd like to think people who play Airsoft are pretty solid individuals and would use their noggins if they had a confirmed case other instances of behaviors doesn't fill me with much hope that they would either.

You mean like this 😏

Hi, ALL! 👋 Had a Great time yesterday at Incursion Airsoft, their Woodland site, 1st time and look forward to going back at some point! 🤪 Also Great catching up with @Kronky and making some new friends @Will T plus his friends! 🔫😎👍 Also can’t wait to go through my footage and put it up this Sunday! 😁 💷GAMBLE💷

I think it was around 20 minutes. Like I said.. the mall we all know and loved 😂

PTS EPM1 mags are available for pre order again in the UK in either Black or Dark Earth. £27.99 a mag at LWA. https://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/airsoft-magazines-c3

Having too-cool-for-school competitions with strangers on the internet is always good for a giggle. I wasn't talking specifically about airsoft, and if this Sunday gets ronad off the table, I have other options. As the weather turns though, having indoor pursuits will be welcome. I won't say Mrs Borg cheered when she heard I'm (hopefully) out for the next two Sundays, but only because it was more what you'd call a celebratory dance.

Photos of upstairs: Then we come downstairs (these stairs are used in game but also serve as the entrance/exit to the site): I don't want to post too many photos and ruin the fun and surprise of finding the hiding spots in person. But it's good. It's The Mall we know and love condensed into one third of the size. Now.. let's just hope that no one there had Covid-19 🥺

Quick 1 min makeover.... Think it’s an improvement?

Clean it, lube it 🙂 And also check the spring, could be broken.

Air Arms are very helpful on the phone, I'd ring them directly. I'd also say a Walther Reign is a better gun for considerably less money.

As I promised here is an update about the A1A SAA PMAGS! 0.30g BBs/Propane/26c° PMAGS: And with the Original mags :

@E21A You seem to be on the opposite side of this argument than the others here. Have you stepped on an M14 lately?

Dont see enough SCAR H out in the wild and that looks top draw To add to the painted theme, here is my Digital Camo M249

Externally my AUG is now how I want it. Asside from changing the barrel to a longer one every now and again and the 9mm adaptor I have.. New Rail for my AUG from 3D crafts. Based on the one used by Kalid in Rainbow 6 Siege. (I have the 9mm conversation too just not with me) Parts list.. ASG gearbox (330fps) JG body Custom 16 inch barrel PTS flash hider. Platatac F88/AUG stock mag pouch (rare) 3D printed front tail Valken grip FMA mini Peq Guarder Aimpoint and mount. Rail sling mount FRV tailoring Sling ASG Scorpion EVO sights I have a clone scout light for the front too.

Permaban for that fucker. Also, wouldn't it be a shame if the M14 was sent to Negative Airsoft for a checkup and Luke included this footage and got a few more thousand views not to mention the verbal beatdown Luke would no doubt dish out.

And Dee Dee had a PHD in Wound Ballistics.

I'm taking no chances for my game at green ops on 20th..I've got my vcam laid out and also a suit and some confetti and a nice salt and pepper set for the happy couple.lol 👬👭👫just to cover all permutations 😉 Regards

The solution here seems simple. Ref gets ordained online, marry two players at the start of the day and you have an Airsoft themed wedding on your hands rather than a day of Airsoft.

I see your FAMAS and raise you that Redcap was proper military policeman.

One thing I would note is that claims to be capable of 420fps / 1.63J and full auto, which makes it a Section 5 firearm. It's not likely that Border Farce will know that, but it's worth being aware of. This? https://www.switairsoft.com/product-page/upgraded-we-mp5a3-apache-airsoft-gbb-smg Plus a 45 round mag comes to $375 which is only £280 at today's exchange rate, plus shipping. Are they really charging £70 for that? From here: http://www.shippo.co.uk/faqs/what-duties-and-taxes-will-i-have-to-pay/#VAT_Value_Adjust With £70 shipping and 3.2% duty you're looking at another £83 being stolen from you in order to fund the people who are stealing it from you. I'm guessing at the duty, e.g. https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/9304 although it may be more like 2.7% if they class it as toys or exercise equipment. Best of luck, this is why I've given up on importing stuff at retail prices if it attracts duty and VAT.

Been a while since I posted any kit... My "Greenside" kit, messing around in the house: My CQB Kit - Photos from the night before my last game at "The Depot" on the 4th August 2019. Took the M12 Holster off in the end. Have since acquired a real MICH 2000, a PACA, MBSS and Warbelt.
