Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
BigBell1987 and 2 others reacted to Adolf Hamster for a topic
bullpup rpk innit or for those of us who cannot understand a concept unless stated in meme form:3 points -
I've been meaning to put together a build / life with an MTW thread for a while now but have never gotten round to it. So let this be the first step of many. I'll try to detail as best I can the general faffing and me being a bit of a pain in the arse (more on this later). Why I chose to spunk a wedge on HPA stuff and just general thread that might perhaps help others decide if this is the path for them! More at some point soon (probably when the kids have gone to bed), I'm typing this now while I'm supposed to be tidying up play-doh!2 points

An Interesting Take From a 'Real Steel' Perspective
SSPKali and one other reacted to Adolf Hamster for a topic
Ahh yes, the good ol' airsoft review: 1. Open up the box, take a minute to talk about what its made from while showing some sweeping close-ups. 2. Spend 15 minutes talking about the controls, how ambi freindly they are, and listing every rail mounting point on the gun. 3. Show 3 bb's being fired through a chrono 4. 30 seconds of accuracy "testing" on an indoor range no more than 10m long, remember to shoot off-hand at a cardboard box and not say what ammo your using. 5. Declare it the best thing ever and remember not to say anything bad in case the manufacturer stops sending you stuff to test. Meanwhile i'm left asking "yes but whats the box like? Has it a qd spring? Are there any proprietary parts and if there are are they at least decent? Are there any quirks to dissassembly? Etc etc" Or the other "i 'review' my big youtube buddy's latest product (honest review guvnor)" types. Meanwhile i've had a gun i want to review for some time but i'm refusing to do so until i see if rs furniture fits.2 points -
So - Does This Count as a RIF? Trigger Warning: Contains Speedsoft
Tommikka and one other reacted to Adolf Hamster for a topic
this is true it is a very individualised thing. i agree with you on the instinct shooting for pistols, generally short range it's hip-fire and hope or long range it's careful time on the sights, but in-between i'm pretty much guaranteed to miss unless the other guy isn't looking.2 points -

That boy is a fool. If your aim in attending any sort of game is 'upsetting people' by acting like a dick you need to either 1) grow up 2) hope someone changes your nappy and puts you in a better mood. That man is about as welcome at an airsoft site as a leaky bucket of AIDS.2 points -

Cr0-Magnon and one other reacted to Druid799 for a topic
Me personally I think it comes down to you’ve got a lot of well established players on here and a good few are of an older age group than you’ll normally find on Facebook groups/forums/etc so a phrase I definitely don’t hear being used that much any more applies to an awful lot of us on here , ‘piss taker’ there is a LOT of piss taking on here (why I like this one)but I’m sorry to say these days there’s also a lot of people who just can’t handle it . Time and time again I see or hear someone moaning and complaining about being offended/bullied/victimised/picked on etc the list goes on and on , I look to see the cause and all I can see is what to me is just banter , piss taking or man talk . I know I’m a dinosaur (safe to say there’s more here than Jurassic park !) but it’s not personal it’s just piss taking , simple as that and some people REALLY do need to lighten up . so endeth the sermon .😇2 points -

VFC AKS74
Shootin Aces reacted to Fin170 for an advert
This advert is COMPLETED!
- For sale
- Used
VFC AKS74N I've had this probably over 10 years now and it shows signs of use, it's got rust and several knocks and combined with the real plum AK74 handguards, real converted mags and sling it really looks the part. Was going to keep as a wallhanger if nothing else but have decided to sell it. I was in the process of rebuilding it to start airsofting again however never completed. I fitted a new metal hop + rubber and rewired it with a MOSFET and deans however I recall the wiring being too large which interfered with the selector enabling full auto only. Unfortunately I've not had any batteries in over a year to double check. I will include a new SP100 spring I've found which I presumably bought for this. The original box and 5 magazines are also included (3 are converted real steel mags, 2 plum and 1 bakelite) Haven't airsofted in a while and unlikely to pick it up again hence sale. Have other bits going up for sale so happy to combine postage, make an offer etc. If you need any other information etc please feel free to contact me. Many thanks£250

I imagine many of you have already seen this, popped up on my 'recommended' front page and it piqued my interest. My overall take away is that if the attitude of real steel companies can shift from 'looking down its nose at' to 'we can see the benefit' it'd be great for the hobby as a whole. I don't personally take a lot from some of the benefits Lucas puts forward (though I do share the sentiment that I'm more into the gear side than the RIF side), it's very much a pastime for me... and I imagine many here given the practical application of 'training' outside of airsoft in this country is somewhat limited to my knowledge). Nevertheless it's pleasant to have someone involved with the real steel world not just mocking the hobby/sport/whatever we do is.1 point

An Interesting Take From a 'Real Steel' Perspective
Crazy_Crystal reacted to Druid799 for a topic
Over the years I’ve come across quite a few squaddies and Plod that came to the sport with a VERY negative preconception of what to expect who by the end of the day (some even by end of the 1st game!) had done a complete about face with there attitude to it and if it could be useful as part of there training regimens . As an RM said to me during a lunch break who’d come for his baby brother’s birthday “I REALLY didn’t want to come today but have to say I’ve never had a target shoot back at me before ! I’m f**king buzzing !” 🤣 I think Airsoft is just like any thing else that could enhance your training , you just need to find the right way to use it .1 point -
Apologies, I didn't really want to delve into the make up of UTM as its a bit more complicated than I cared to write in the post. My example was poor so was edited out.1 point

Wait, there’s no relationship between distance and full auto. I would say full auto works best at close distance, simply because it’s more fun* * Your experience may vary depending on the joule output1 point -

Speedbird_666 reacted to Lozart for a topic
There's a few "names" in the firearms world that have come out in support of airsoft as a training tool recently, Lucas (T-Rex) and Travis Haley of particular note. In fact Lucas has actually said that the real steel world needs to embrace the milsim/airsoft world https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7OVKehSzN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link1 point -
Very Confused About Mp5 Rail and It's Not Fitting.
Groot reacted to Enid_Puceflange for a topic
I had a similar problem with my G3 trying to get a mount to fit properly i had to try a few from different retailers to get one that would fit properly. as has been said, they list them as suitable for Mp5/G3 but they do have some slight dimension differences Eotech looks good on your pew 👍1 point -
OK guys quick update. I installed the Rocket Tappet plate (SHS), taking care to see when it was fully back, sanding a little, then checking the release and sanding the lower fin a little. I also shortened the tappet spring by 2 coils. Gun now shoots lasers bang on legal limit on semi... Auto, it drops 40 fps and is a bit inconsistent. Im going to order a 7.4v Lipo and try it on that and see if full auto works more consistently. I really appreciate all the help guys. Thank you.1 point

I want to comment but i think it would be considered toxic, But sod it i will, completely agree with @Alimcd people can't handle criticism. If you don't like what's being said either deal with it or don't read it. And if members of this board are so toxic i would also suggested reading through this entire forum to see how many people they have helped with information and knowledge. To me that is far from toxic.1 point -

stevefocus reacted to Alimcd for a topic
I feel like “Toxic” has become the go to word for a generation who don’t know how to handle criticism or confrontation nor have they developed the interpersonal skills to simply hold a differing opinion on a matter without feeling the need to “out” the other party as wrong. I for one am offended and demand this is stopped now. Macks is part of the rich cultural tapestry of AFUK and this thinly veiled attack is no less than an assault on an institution1 point -

What's up? I must have missed something. I blocked Sboardley because I don't want to get dragged down to some Facebook level argument. Since all the relevant posts were deleted by Jedi there is no record of the conversation and toxic abuse by Sboardley. He will have to deal with free speech or leave. This certainly has livened up the thread a bit. Enjoy everyone 😆1 point -

Agreed. You gotta.know when to roll with the punches and when to quit and run. I'm up for any argument if it comes to me. But will never go looking for one. I believe we are all kindred spirits here and our aim(no pun intended) is to share knowledge and some have more knowledge than others.That is what makes the world go round. I have learnt not to get bitter and twisted unless someone feeds you lemons and bitter aloes.(the older chaps will know) Dont let it upset you unless it upsets yours!!

stevefocus reacted to Adolf Hamster for a topic
This thread is certainly an unusual setup, but its purpose is to highlight to prospective buyers what acceptable pricing for secondhand gear should be so they dont unwittingly get ripped off. It also shows sellers the issues that might lead to them not getting much demand for the items they're selling be it price, poor description, bad images etc. Sometimes folk just dont realise how an ad appears to a prospective buyer. It works both ways though, if someone drops an ad in here that's actually fair then that point will be raised too. For example the debate about avenger's fal has multiple perspectives going on. Of course it is steeped in banter, but nothing worse than you're going to encounter at your local site. But if someone is willing to take on criticism then it's a helpful environment, if they arent then it's open season for a bit of entertainment.1 point -
This has been covered a number of times and I am not going to repeat info that is clearly here. Its not shaming its just pointing out ads we feel are misleading or overpriced so others are more in tuned to what is a good price or do not get taken for a ride. More than once the seller has taken on board advice and reduced prices or changed descriptions etc...1 point

They are entitled to overprice the item, and people are entitled to talk about it, it's called a public forum for a reason.1 point
