Hi All Been lurking for a while and thinking of giving airsoft a go as it looks like my kind of fun. Lifetime shooter, mostly RS and old enough to have shot with handguns when we used to be allowed. Just got a custom TM Hi Capa for IPSC Action Air 'Open' shooting and this got me looking at Airsoft. Played some scenario/milsim paintball way back (still got the marker and some kit). The Mall at Reading, Copehill Down, night ops at an old industrial estate were the best games. Always played with a 20 round hopper so never a 'real' paintballer. Couldn't afford a box fed marker back then. Accuracy first, never 'spray and pray'. Favourite tactic - flanking or better still 'get behind them and shoot them in the back'. Comfortable with the M4 format, totally love the feel of an MP5, CQB has to be handgun and Tech stuff is half the fun. Looking for my first gun like every other newbie but not in a hurry. That's me. Advice, hints, tips or info always welcome. Cheers Rob

"Patiently" waiting for the CYMA Platinum from the latest Negative Airsoft video to come back to me. With upgrades I'm in it for less than a stock Scorpion Evo and Luke assures me this is vastly superior!

Sorry for hijacking the thread but can anyone help me identify this one?

Hi @AarronsDad! 👋 Welcome to the forum, full of like minded players and plenty of advice to share! 🤪👍 Got your first AEG and some kit, just need a site to reopen, hopefully soon! 🤞 Also @Brophy & @Shamal thanks for the shout outs! Play nicely, all that Airsoft tension is building up from not playing!!!! 🔫😎👍 😂 💷GAMBLE💷

Slings will always be personal preference, I’ve moved to using two point slings over single point because cracking yourself in the nuts in ‘the heat of battle’ is not my favourite and I find two points much more comfortable across a day of playing. The ‘new wave’ of quick adjusting two points are all very similar, my personal favourite is the Ferro Concepts Slingster (having also tried the VTAC and Haley slings of a similar ilk) just found it has the best quick adjustment system and the padding is perfect for me... but one of those plus decent fittings/hardware (I use the Ferro QD fittings) is going to set you back £70-80. Comfort is important, what works for one may not work for another etc etc. Some would like scoff at spending that much on a sling when others do the job just fine, these days I tend to use as much ‘RS’ kit as I can largely because it holds value much better than repro kit if you come to sell it on... aside the fact it’s better quality (for the most part). The reason holding value is important to me is because I sell things on if they aren’t working for me. Once you start down that rabbit hole of ‘perfecting’ your kit you have to accept that things you buy might not be suitable for you. Tldr, don’t skimp out on your sling because it’s the only thing between your rif, gravity and the ground should you let go of it. If your kit isn’t working with you, it isn’t worth using.

If it’s FRV it will be more than adequate for the job. They don’t mess about and know exactly what they are doing.

Super fast postage great item cheers

Hello and hello again. You have made a good choice of forums @38super. All forms of humanity reside here ready and able to answer your every question.Not me though I just pull the trigger lol. Oops nearly forgot. Check out @GAMBLE. He has a super smashing tube thingy full of fun and facts.👍🙂 Enjoy Regards

Spanker lol. At least it's legible unlike many random Chinese brands that appear to use gobbledygook.

I was using Abbey Predator Ultra in 1 degree temps the other day, this is similar to Nuprol 2. I was only out for a few minutes so not enough time to cool the mags down, fuck being outside in that weather. It performed well, On full auto ROF obviously slowed down towards the end of the Mag. I am new to the GBB game but I think Nuprol 2 is a relatively medium power Gas for 10+ degrees If for some mad reason I was going to skirmish in weather colder than that, I would use Abbey Vertex or Nuprol 3,4

Just bought an a&k m249 in tan courtesey of @BIGwat

Umm guys... I think we've gotten their attention 😬

so for my version, i'm thinking big, super big. a giant milsim, draft in an aircraft carrier from the navy and take over a couple of coastal cities. the civilian populations of the cities are all given eyepro and chronographs and aside from checking players nearby for cheating they're to go about their daily business unless they wish to interact with the players. any civilian owned firearms in the game area are replaced with airsoft equivalents that may be taken and used by players, any damage to civilians personal property (broken doors/windows, items taken by players etc) will be replaced after the event. the game mode is a counter insurgency type deal, the opfor team gets to start in the mountains nearby and players can commandeer whatever they want from the local populace (eg rock up to a farm and nick the farmers pickup to make a technical) blufor gets to start on the aircraft carrier and can use the carriers comms, boats and helicopters for transport (which will be operated by elbonian military personell to ensure safety) blufor's job is to find and destroy opfor, opfor's job is to survive as long as possible and inflict as much damage to blufor as possible using any techniques they see fit. fps limits are based on weapon class: pistol calibers- 0.75j no minimum engagement distance for semi or full auto intermediate rifle calibers- 1.3j, semi in buildings but otherwise basically uk rules full power rifle calibers- 2.3j with 20m MED or 30m for support guns extra high power calibers- 3.5j with a 40m med (eg barrets, m2's etc) no rof limit but this will be somewhat controlled by the ammo limit. all magazine capacities are limited to their real-world counterparts, no limit on the number of magazines a player can carry. extra loose ammunition may be carried but dummy rounds are given on a per-round basis. eg if you're happy to carry around a 250 round belt of 5.56 you get to carry 250 bb's to reload your m4 mags, you are only permitted to drop the dummy ammo when also dropping/firing the respective amount of bb's. all ammo will be geoffs .48g bb's which be supplied at the event (as this is known ahead of time it's the players responsibility to ensure their gnu can lift that weight) explosives are handled by physical effect or 5m radius eg a pea grenade kills' everyone in a 5m radius and anyone outside who gets struck by a pea. a supply of TAG grenades (both thrown and launched) will be provided to both sides at the start of the game. hard cover does count although breakables such as doors/windows do not count. protective equipment is down to the players discretion- ie if they don't want to wear face protection then they must also accept the risk of personal injury. medic rules are single hit revives by assigned medics- only medics can revive players and each player can only be revived once. players cannot move on their own once hit but can be carried by other players to a medic. medics cannot heal each other (so they will be a prime target) deaths are permanent- elbonian military personell acting as marshalls will occasionally sweep and escort "dead" players from the field replacing them with mannequins. players are required to leave their equipment (guns, webbing, ammo etc) with the mannequins. mannequins may be cleared by the civilian populace during quiet periods. any subsequent damage or loss of players equipment is considered part of the game (ie players know they might lose their toys). once off the field "dead" players may return home or stay and watch the event, if a player willingly quits the game (due to fatigue, personal life commitments etc) then a "dead" player may re-enter to replace them if they so desire on a first-out first-in basis. the event will be free to enter as a player, however prospective players must pass a lie detector asking them if they intend to cheat during the event, that they understand the rules and accept the potential risks. intentional cheating during the event will, if caught (remember there will be more marshalls than players with every civilian acting as such), result in immediate and permanent banishment (ie they will never step foot on elbonian soil again) i'm sure there are a lot of plot holes i've missed, but you get the general idea edit: unfortunately my traitorous underling who i put in charge of organising and managing this event forgot to tell any of the civilians that the event wasnt real so they spent the first few days terrified of all these terrorist looking blokes running around nicking their stuff and threatening to shoot them.

yeah but good luck finding magazines

I thought super soldier nobber sorry I mean nicco was 5 Rifles as he was in Germany. Me thinks there might be some walting going on. i think KM should just be allowed to go to Hereford and teach those guys how to snipe haha

Is that his little pet Nicco? For someone who makes a very big noise about being in 2 Rifles I can tell you that they have never heard of him... I would also query the kills/deaths markers that they include at the bottom of the videos. ‘Woah 33 kills and 1 death, this guy is the best airsofter that ever lived!’ I call bullshit. Very easy to edit out being shot up the arse with a G36 rental wielded by an 11 year old girl that weighs less than the RIF...

Waiting on this to come back from Negative Airsoft 😍

Try telling this guy - This is the current state of play in the New Players section. Over 100 posts in that section, nothing of note outside of it. If this isn't deliberate post-count bumping, I don't know what is.

Very cute 🥰😂

Me back in 2011

My wife and I were looking at our joint account and we were amazed at how little we’d spent over Christmas. With almost perfect synchronicity an £1100 pet insurance claim was refused...
