I sailed under a lucky star when the shop opposite me chucked out a load of slatwall. I ran over, asked if they wanted it, then tried to shift if. It's a tad heavy when attached to 18mm MDF! 😱😂 Got it home, all of 50m, put it up and then bought a load of hangers. I need to do a reshuffle at some point as I'm running out of room...have a big ol' basket now for mags as only two of my prws share mags. 😂😂😂

Look what UPS delivered today

Sadly, he only needs to fool one victim before each ban to make it worthwhile. My solution of banning all users permanently isn't looking so radical now, is it?

Tried a new site, but by a regular host - RIFT: The Battery. Numbers were fairly low - about 35ish on the Sunday, and the previous day was about 25-30 by all reports. So under half, but this really helped the gameplay. Only a couple of rentals, and only a handful of people who have been before, so a bulk of people were in the same boat. It's an old Battery Hen house, so 4 large interconnecting hen houses in an H shape, with obstacles and props in the outdoors area. The site is CQB, but i like it as it's not all right angle turns and dark rooms (yes, there are portions of that) but there are also good lines of sight, multiple flanking positions and not just people stacking up on corners. No pyro, so you had to shoot your way out, and Single shot only, with a gentleman's agreement of no just shooting at a corner to pin people down or spamming the trigger, only shoot when you see them - this really helped people push up. If you locked down a corridor or opening, there was opportunity for the opposition to fall back and find a path to sneak up behind you. Doors and paths changed with the games, which is a nice touch. Being young and fleet on foot was definitely an advantage, so everyone actually ran from the spawn points, rather than the usual of a few of them sprint off and the rest trundle up. Blue team dominated the 1st game, so a few went to red to balance. Same story for the 2nd and 3rd, so by the afternoon, Reds had more bodies to try and make it competitive. Staff, as always, were on it. Minimal no-calling hits, and only the odd "I got you, no you didn't", as the spawns were only a minute or so walk away, and everyone generally seemed in good spirits. Overall a really good day, one of the best I had, thanks to the site. It had a nice balance of not being out ranged by snipers and DMR's, but not to close that you walked into someone around every bend and doorway. Most of RIFTs site are based around Bucks/Beds/Oxon sort of area, so this one is a bit of a drive way in comparison out in central Essex, and even though it's not a financially viable, the lowish headcount really helped the gameplay and pushing up. I would need to see what it's like with a full compliment of 60 to see if it makes it better or worse.

Thats a funny noise for a battery to make.

Got myself another mws after selling my first one few years ago 😭 Firesupport got nice deal as you probably seen £560 with 3 extra mags 👌 Also got vector optics scrapper gen 2 RDS.

Because we aren't as fat as Americans.

I do think it's helpful of Specna to have named their gearbox, so that we can know what to avoid.

If it's an Edge 1 or 2.0 - the removable spring guide should be threaded for the buffer tube screw anyway. The drop stock adapter screws into that. Source: Designed my own drop stock adapter for a Specna Edge a few years back - worked fine.

The dumb twat is even using the same photos as before😂😂

Hello everyone! Moved to the UK right before COVID and finally decided to pick up airsoft again (after the great depression), to get myself moving with purpose. Fun to see so many smiling faces on these forums. Will be good to see you all on the field soon, once all of these get sorted: OfCom License 🟢 Protective gear 🟢 Rental 🟢 Pouches, BBs and whatnot 🟢 UKARA qualification matches 🟡 And let's not forget the extras I will need just for being in the UK: Chippy subscription Jaywalking license Water tap temperature mixer A portable fan with icecubes because nobody believes ACs are useful Smooches!

B'dum tish. He's here all week folks.

The thing that saddened me the most, is that there were about 6 first time rental players there. First impression’s definitely count in this game.

ERM, can I just say... I never said that, I'm pretty sure I am as fat as many americans & many other nationalities too.

I know where you wennttt !!!

Not really load carrying equipment though is it ?

His used airsoft name, and name/email for Paypal was "Jay Fraser". Same gun, same pictures, same location. Obviously can't be 1000% sure it's the same, but does seem to match up. As I mentioned, I got my BAR from the same seller (Via usedairsoft) and other than a few issues with the rifle itself it went smooth and couldn't fault the seller.

Possibly same guy: https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/spring-powered_2/umarex-wa2000-wscope-licensed-copy_i55002 But the guy from usedairsoft, is the guy I got my BAR from.

Hmmmmm Fishy listing? Just joined , and within 15 mins has a listing up for a Gucci replica! @Tackle @proffrink

Springer Custom Works makes a SV-98 Chassis for the VSR-10 platform, if you need your SV-98 itch scratched. I have one on my VSR-X and its a phenomenal piece of kit.

It could be a gun with a purpose

All plastics are polymers, not all polymers are plastics (DNA for example is a polymer). As @Sewdhull mentioned some manufacturers started using "polymer" instead of plastic because of the negative associations people have with plastics in terms of durability. The plastic that Glock uses is a trade secret but most people seem to think it's either DuPont Zytel or something very similar which is just plastic reinforced with glass fibre. Some airsoft manufacturers haver followed suit and started using glass reinforced plastics after ABS proved to be less than ideal for receivers (old TM M4's for example) and picked up on the use of "polymer" as a marketing differentiator because the vast unwashed masses neither understand the difference or care because they're led to believe that "polymer is better than plastic" when it's actually "glass fibre reinforced nylon is better than ABS". As to @TheFull9's point, I very much doubt that "influencers" understand what they're saying as most of the time they're just repeating what the marketing blurb says, so at best they're perpetuating a lack of understanding and at worst misleading buyers. That said, the market will support itself at the lowest common denominator so is it really the manufactures/influencers who are at fault or the buying public for just not making themselves aware?

It's 3d printed. The STL file can be found on Cults3D (search Specna Edge 15 degree drop stock). Can't link here because that would be a bit naughty.

As previously stated, 90m at UK power limits is not impossible But indescribably improbable. UK Snipers are typically accurate (With internal tech work done) accurate up to the 70-80m area. Some systems achieve this easier than others, and some systems are able to push range up slightly despite our power limits because of other factors (i.e. Super high volume cylinders push heavier BBs). Before anything else, do some research on websites with may more info on this topic specifically - https://www.airsoftsniperforum.com has a treasure trove of the nitty gritty details for sniper work. Searching up the platform your about to buy on here usually gives you a wealth of details and such that you'll want to know to get your sniper going as far as it Possibly can. But to get the lightest, quietest and furthest shooting sniper you can, you've got two options - Tac41 or VSR. VSR is a more well-documented platform. With better support and more tech guides. However, it is a bit harder to get into peak performance (imo) and its generally louder than the Tac-41. On the other hand, the Tac-41 is an easier upgrade. It only Needs a Spring swap to get great range, But for the quiet aspect, you'll also want a WASP or other quiet piston, which is also a pretty easy swap out. Its a little heavier than the VSR, but its not as heavy as the other two Silverback options (SRS and HTI. Above all, slap a decent suppressor on the end of the barrel and that'll do a lot for the noise.

Nah, he's got a thing for scammer scum And we always help him out Looks like Pacco78 is next in line for the boot

I think someone needs to help @Tackle out before he loses his shit…. Or maybe he just has a thing for Mini guns idk

Daniel, I suspect your a scammer, can we have some genuine pics of the item your trying to sell, not retailers images, & please include your username and the date handwritten on a piece of paper within the pics.

"I bought a load of pointlessly expensive accessories and want to charge you for my mistake, on what is essentially a bog standard WE GBB M4 in a quite potentially unskirmishable state."

I've got some flat batteries going cheap. They're free of charge...

A South African man wakes up in a hospital in England, dazed and disoriented. The doctors barely saved his life, and asked him what happened. He replied: I'm not sure. I was in a pub, which is known as a popular place to meet and get to know locals when I saw 3 really large women at the bar talking to each other. I couldn't make out everything they said, so to be friendly, I asked them ‘Are you 3 ladies from Scotland?’ They replied ‘Wales, you feckin fool!’ So I asked again, ‘Are you 3 whales from Scotland?’ Honestly, that's the last thing I remember before waking up here

I've got the Steyr Scout, completely stock except I fitted the mythical H nub. I hit 90+m with it, but I wouldn't dream of saying it was accurate for a YouTube "one shot one kill" at that range. I consider myself a better than average shot and I feel at 90m any more than 3 out of 10 shots that hit a man sized target is a great result. The point, for me, of a sniper is to be able to hit an AEG player at more range than they can reach with their shooter. If a good AEG can average 50-60m but have to be on "spray and pray" mode to hit you with one of 100 bbs, then you only need to be able to accurately hit them at 65-70m, and at that range, the scout is spot on, as I'm sure your SSG10 is.

What does the SSG10 not do that you expect any other stock gun would do? I mean, I'm happy with my TAC-41, and SRS owners like theirs too, but I wouldn't claim consistency at a real 90m. That's the stuff of YouTube fiction.

Bodged this up with an old pmag and some brackets. I get a really nice "floating gun" effect on my wall

For those who like folk punky stuff I've been listening to a lot of Ferocious Dog recently. If that video floats your goat they are hoofing live as well.

Do influencers use the word correctly when they employ it to imply something which actually just misleads people?

Is that the Em Kay 23? 😁

I wanted to test the theory of barrel scratches, I took 3 barrels, brass, aluminium and stainless steel. Did a borescope video before on all 3, then used a nylon cleaner brush 15 passes on each one, then cleaned with tissue and isopropanol, then another borescope video. I was expecting perhaps some scratch on the brass but nothing on any of them. Just be 2 cents worth. @Yashy Have a watch on YT at how to remove and clean an inner barrel, it will also explain to you about how to clean and remove the hop chamber and hop rubber. If you plan on playing quite a lot this information will really help you get the most out of your AEG.

We had a bit of a sad Xmas. Our pet mouse Elvis died...yeah he was caught in a trap.

In the field side by side mucker, my regiment were air defence at the time using the javelin missile, 1 chef for 2-3 crews. In for 4 years, furthest I got from home was Woolwich to do by basic training, Germany reunified the year I joined up so no excercise with BAOR that year (Join the army,see the world...my arse)

I have these... https://www.shopfittingwarehouse.co.uk/shelving-racking/grid-mesh-shelving very adaptable.
