This is why I write "EN166B" on my home-made eye-pro, to ensure that it meets all safety standards.

A happy update I just spotted this on one of the discord groups Ollie was apparently out to a game last weekend 👍

I am we are unpaid, have full time jobs and do this for the love of it some ads will get by us but we will ask the seller to obey the rules we set out , just scanning the ads i don't see that many, maybe 2, don't over exaggerate we do this to try and help the buyer, it cant be a bad thing to try and help, so in future just whack your name & date on a bit of paper please if i see an advert with no paper, i delete it

Another set of non compliant goggles / eye protection identified by site staff I know that I’m preaching to the converted, but keep your eyes out for new players with their ‘nice cheap’ Temu/AliExpress/eBay goggles Observant site staff noted these ones https://www.facebook.com/share/12CBYwpEZa8/?mibextid=WC7FNe

I think anyone who played before and through 2007 would agree with you there. If you want to play like this, why not just play paintball? They've been doing this for ages

Its the entire point of this thread and your ad was initially breaking the rules stated in MASSIVE RED BANNERS all over the place. Wind yer neck in

The draw from Paintball back in the day was the realism of the toys used combined with almost losing them back in 2007 makes this stuff almost sacrileges for me.

I’d still rather work on a GBB mechanism than a NGRS. I hear that when you open an NGRS, the soul of a Japanese Airsoft tech leaves the receiver. You have to sacrifice another one to be able to seal his soul back into the receiver when closing it, otherwise it will never work again.

I completely agree with your comments about AP; it is a very well run site. The only parts of the site that we did not use were the woods, which was probably because they still need some work to make them safe, and the far end of the field at Swaziland, which is a bit of a dead area. Regarding the incident you describe, as John always says in the briefing, it is up to dead players to get out of the way. Accidents happen and vision is limited when you are looking through a scope. Calling out someone in that way is never appropriate.

I asked how much for some of what he's smoking and now the advert's gone. 🤔

Supply & demand, simple economics. I reckon sellers can ask any price they want, it's up to the buyer if they're willing to pay the asking price or for both/all of them to haggle.

Wouldn't say i'm a shitbag.. All of my sales on here have been reasonable and fair. Always respectful and helpful where i can be. Sorry my price is higher than you'd like. But there's always going to be supply and demand resale. Anyway, ya moaning bastards. Price redacted. Not trying to be blasted on here as a scumbag thanks though 😊

Noooo, a stubby m4 with a box mag, & you want to upgrade before you've used your gun...........😱

That's on me, he had it in the sale section, AND the swaps section, which as everybody who bothers to read the rules knows, is..........

Having exchanged messages with him on Thursday, I got the impression that his Euro shoe size might be a higher number than his IQ.

Incase you're interested in what I did.... I bought another TM VSR 10, but in OD this time. I did handle the other snipers, TAC-41, SSG's, they were nice but felt like 'too much' of a gun for what I need, if you see what I mean. The clean line and simplicity of the VSR is a real attraction to me. I've bought the parts to upgrade to the same spec as my other VSR, this will be fine for now until I feel the need to go further. Thanks for all the input and DM's guys, its really appreciated. The scope is just one I had lying about. its a x50 and too big in my view. I'll keep an eye out for a nice x40 mildot.

£50 new and in stock at eagle 6. Oh Firesupport have for £40.

Gas blowback L86 custom conversion using a mix of ICS and RS parts and custom reinforcement, SUSAT is currently a reproduction And also my C7A2 with genuine C79 scope, MWS base with G&P 20" steel outer barrel

This is the logic i employ too when i have inexperienced mates and their kids coming airsofting with me - I always lend them full masks, with mesh goggles so they aren't tempted to lift them mid game to wipe away the fog. I appreciate that mesh has its drawbacks, but I have concluded the likelihood of a BB fragmenting AND having enough retained velocity for the particles to do some damage on the other side of the mesh is much lower than the likelihood of the mask being lifted by a young kid due to fogging.

Is it not implied by calling it a "Paintball Mask" it is fit for purpose and use? For instance to sell something and call it "Bicycle Helmet" it needs to carry the CE mark and be fit for use.

Ahoy, and welcome. Yup, it's a great hobby if you have a good site with honest players. Obligatory...

No, you tit, because it says it in the big red banner at the top of every page. 🙄

Then why drop the asking price? 🤔

Sorry, "unethical" was the word i was looking for.

rumour I’ve heard from within the retail industry is that they’ve sorted out the legal problems (which weren’t actually legal problems but production problems) and they’re back at it. we might be waiting a bit for the gen5 as it’s more onerous to produce compared to the others. But who knows. Personally, I’m waiting for guarder to start selling complete lowers, nozzles and blowback units. Then I have everything I need to build them without a donor. First time I took one apart, I got the trigger sear and my screw driver stuck in the chassis. Simultaneously the sear spring launched to the other side of the room and got tangled in my dogs fur…

I had considered going to Mayhem in Essex today, but what I have learned about the site just does not excite me, so I set off for Airsoft Plantation yet again. About 120 were present on a bright and sunny day. As usual, it was good to see a decent number of new rental players on site. The mud had dried out considerably in the last week; it was no longer slippery, now being just slightly sticky in some of the worst areas, particularly the infamous puddle on the main track across the village. As last week, my first task was to check the setup of a weapon; in this case, my recently overhauled and upgraded SR47. This isn't one of the more recent airsoft iterations of this gun, being a rather ancient Hurricane kit with full Knight's Armaments trades. It shot very nicely at 1.06J with its new gearbox and Perun Hybrid. The first game involved us as the red team defending the village with two lives each, while the blue team, with infinite marshal regens, had to attack from the border, capture the yellow armbands of three HVTs and get them back to their marshal. This was a tough game for both sides; I started off behind the fishing hut, where a group of us held up the enemy's attack down that flank for a considerable time. Eventually being hit, I fell back to the fuel dump, from where plastic death was dealt to the attackers until one of them dealt it to me. This game was then turned around; a few of us decided to attack along the flank that I had helped to defend in the first game. After a very stiff fight, we took the fishing hut and pushed into the village, helping to eventually clear it. However, as a team we were only able to find two HVTs. When time was called, the remaining HVT crawled out from the basement of one of the huts, which was annoying as I always make a point of putting a few shots or a pyro in there in games of this sort if I am passing it, which I did not on this occasion. The next game had two phases. Attacking from the DEA base with infinite buddy regens after a 30m fall back, we had to break into the mortar pits and capture two suicide vests located in the horse box. We then had to get each of the suicide bombers to the buildings named in the pockets of the suicide vests. This did lead me to wonder why suicide vests would have pockets; they seem somewhat superfluous as you don't really need to take anything else with you when you set off to blow yourself up. The defenders had two lives in the mortar pits and two in the general area of the village. We fought our way into the mortar pits against very determined resistance and eventually grabbed the suicide vests, which the future martyrs for our cause then donned. Most of us set off for the village, with the larger group containing the bombers swinging around to attack it from the direction of the border while some of us took the more direct route, attacking through the suburbs. However, a fair number of our players had become fixated on dealing with the two enemy players still on the upper deck of the bus, which was pointless as it only required a couple of people to cover the two doors. Having cleared the suburbs, we were pressing the defenders back across the village when the two bombers achieved the martyrdom that they sought. During the fighting in the village I realised that I had lost one of my pistol mags; being pretty sure where I had lost it while slithering head first over a berm in the mortar pits, I went to look for it, but it was not there . A break for luncheon was then taken, during which a player handed my mag in at the office ; I was very pleased to be reunited with it as they are not cheap ones. After lunch, the suicide bomber game was reversed. As usual, I took up a position on the far side of the mortar pits where we had a brilliant battle against the attackers, who repeatedly charged forwards like WWII Japanese infantry and were shot down in vast numbers. At one point a gas grenade landed very near my advanced position; as last week in almost exactly the same position, I carried out a well planned and executed tactical withdrawal, which again was honestly not me running away, although I was running and heading in a direction that was away from the enemy. Joining my colleagues, we continued to mow down the enemy until we were slowly whittled down and overrun. After falling back to the village, I was hit in the suburbs (which isn't a euphemism for something else) and fell back to the town hall, which turned out to be one of the attackers' objectives; it became rather hectic and we held the building for a considerable time until they eventually managed to storm it. After a short break, during which many of our team departed, we then returned to the mortar pits. As defenders we had two lives, one near the front of the area and one further back; the attackers, with infinite regens on a marshal, had to get five players through the mortar pits to the boundary rope beyond it. Along with a few colleagues, I started off defending the hill fort area; we were eventually pushed back and, having been hit, I fell back to one of the berms near the bus, from where I fought until I received my final hit. The enemy got their five players to the boundary rope. When the game was reversed, we were only required to get three players to the boundary rope due to our depleted numbers. The group that I was with assaulted the hill fort area and pushed along the side of the mortar pits, slowly taking out the defenders and frequently regening on our marshal. As we were approaching the far side, I witnessed the only unpleasant incident that I have seen at AP in a long time. An enemy player, who was shot at reasonably close range by one of our players, called the hit, put his hand up to acknowledge it and began to walk way before turning around and shooting at a couple of our players who were running for the boundary rope. The chap who had shot him, who happened to be a player marshal, challenged him on this, whereupon he became very salty, repeatedly swearing at the player marshal. A non-player marshal took him aside and was overheard giving him what could be called a stiff bollocking, pointing out that he was in the wrong and that getting so irate and foul mouthed over a game of pretend war was rather ridiculous and utterly inappropriate, especially as there were children in the vicinity; I am not sure what the final outcome was as I was out of earshot after that. We got the required number of players to the boundary rope. It was yet another really good day of airsoft at AP, with the only negative for me being the not entirely unexpected death of one of my 1600mAh LiFe batteries, which are now almost impossible to replace. I am unable to play again until the end of the month due to rehearsals and recording sessions, but will probably play somewhere on 30th March. Weapons used: APS UAR LCT PP-19-01 ASG XP18 Commander (CO2)

Just picked up my new SD Love it old school and "clean", but an Aimpoint, BT Tri Rail, torch and grip have made me fall in love!

You wanna play or you want to tinker ? If it's your first gun you can't do both, get a gun for playing, AND LEAVE IT ALONE UNTIL SOMETHING BREAKS. & maybe get something cheap, from the boneyard section, plenty of online tutorials for gearboxes, etc. If your try tinkering with your first gun, & it then dies on its first outing, you lose money, green fees, travel costs, & a wasted day.

SSO inspired Arcturus AK12 I "built"

i made an offer and asked for postage 💀

He left the price tag on - rough sticker price is £27-29

my humble contribution. VFC SD3 2024. Genuine Aimpoint 3000 with a custom machined lens protector Repro 660 Flashlight Cheap Torch mount (require boring to fit the suppressor) Guillotine Airsoft Hop Arm + NPAS (need to sort NPAS) Already modified my magazines and sorted the wobble in the stock - receiver Just need to get out and play with it.

I thought it might be fun to share the blasphemous, cursed and downright wrong things we've seen on gamedays, websites or elsewhere While searching for an SVD supressor I came across this https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/magazine-adapter-svd-dragunov-to-m4-bolt-action-airsoft

What makes it worse is that I've had so many examples of live players using dead players as cover. I've had people pinned behind a barricade wait for dead players to walk across where they're getting shot from (by me, watching them through my scope), and then move up using the dead players as cover. The only times I won't shoot are when someone is within my MED. I'm a decent shot and my rifles are obsessively tuned, so if I think I can hit the live players, I'll take the shot. However, nobody's perfect, and airsoft guns are nowhere near as precise as some people think they are, so I'll sometimes hit the dead players and it's not (entirely) their fault. Most people don't cause a fuss and will simply accelerate or step to the side, but a select few will. I've been "overshot" so many times when I've been hit, put my hand up, and stood up from my hidden position or exited the bush I was under. People get spooked when a ghillie suddenly appears out of seemingly nowhere and will sometimes unload on full auto in a panic And those select few are the ones I'll shoot on their way to respawn on purpose. I'm generally quite mellow and do my best to avoid shooting players who are already hit, but if you frequently lose your rag due to being shot when you're already dead and overreact and throw your toys out of the pram, you bet your bottom dollar I'm going to line up the shot through my scope and deliberately shoot you in the arse when you're walking back to respawn 🤣

Right then, got the pvs31 on order and managed to sort out most of my helmet, feels pretty comfy with the gel cups

The story and parts on this one would take up way too much space for a forum post, if anyone really wants to know here's a link to my own site. Very short version, this started as a basic af short M4 (KWA LM4c) in 2015, but I've only changed a few little bolt-on accessory bits since I took these pics in 2020.

Also getting shot up close with heavy BBs sucks. A lot of CQB sites limit BB weights for this reason.

Hello all, don’t wish to hijack the thread. I saw the title and thought I had written it without even realising. my 13 year old Son & I have recently become airsoft addicts 🤣, hence why I saw the thread and needed to say hello but will create one with our info. Nice to be here and look forward to learning

Semi or auto? 😂 Don't get triggered dude. It's only Monday. Unfortunately it's just the way supply and demand resale works brother (don't look into sneakers, you'll have an aneurysm) Yeah i was probably being a bit shady with my first price. Still, closer than your offer before you decided to come blast me on here. Sorry i never took your offer pal. No need to then attack me and laugh about it like you didn't just try to buy it.. 😂 But i will agree that £500 is a total piss take though..

Eventually someone was going to get triggered 🤣 He’s been a spoil sport and dropped the price by £100 😆

"These things are like rocking horse shit, unobtainium, hens teeth." In fact, so incredibly rare that there's currently two for sale in the classifieds. "Don't think TM will be making anymore either by the sounds of it. Not any time soon anyway! So price reflects the demand." Well that's nice. Good to see nice honest people taking not advantage. Oh wait, no, shitbags are everywhere. "Don't message me moaning about the price." You won't get messaged, at all probably. But you will get ripped in here.

Go to the very bottom of the page on the main screen, you'll see "Theme" with a drop down arrow....... At least on my phone there is ?

Lasted long 😂 Its baaaaaaack

You'd just mill the window first, then ream the inner barrel to final diameter after, removing any burr.

My favourite part "I'm trying to trade it for a hpa rifle or hpa smg" Even if his gun was worth what he's asking that's still nowhere near what hpa guns go for

Whatcha chatting bout? Custom midnight black paint on that stock.....

"I don't care that the stock and handguard look like Jermaine Jackson's dyed hair compared to the receivers. I kN0w wh4t I'v3 g0t!"

Never go out for a walk in the rain in bell bottom trousers. I did and now they're ringing....

I've always found catcrap works well. One application in the morning and maybe another at lunch on particularly hot or humid days is enough to keep everything clear What eye protection are you using at the moment?
