AF-UK will be migrating to new forum software within the next few weeks. You may notice a difference in the appearance and functionality of the forums, but your posts and content will carry over. The Classifieds will be wiped and rebuilt (this includes feedback), but will be available immediately after migration. The current forum software has become a huge headache The forums run on software called IPB. Back in 2023 IPB decided to discontinue their marketplace, and ever since this has meant maintaining certain code without the assistance of authors of the various 3rd party plugins that we use for things like The Classifieds, small moderation tools and other minor tweaks that you likely don't notice like dead thread protection. Without these modules it's impossible to maintain the current rendition of AF-UK without dropping certain large features. A lot of you joined the forums for The Classifieds, and many of you solely use the forums for them so it's untenable that many of the modules that AF-UK uses don't work properly with the latest versions of IPB. We're moving to new software Migration could take as little as a week but may take up to three weeks. Downtime when the migration happens should be less than 24 hours. The new Classifieds will be more reliable and should have a few extra features when it releases with the new forums. The forums themselves will remain largely unchanged. Some data will be lost, but most will remain Although all of your accounts and posts will be retained, many items such as feedback and current classifieds listings will be wiped. Please use the next week or so to save any data that you may need as nothing is guaranteed given the age of the AF-UK database. There is still a small possibility that a full forum wipe will need to take place, but this is very unlikely.

My Bullpup collection, a few springers & ex 2 tones as this was before I got my UKARA... The newest addition will be a WE GBBR L85A2 once the postie gets here.

Maybe that's the goal, don't judge 😂

Having a morning playing around with toys. 1st purchased a couple of weeks ago, WE Apache MP5K. Lovely gun, spotless condition came with 5 mags to give me enough to field a whole game (with the other 3 I already have). Local site have opened an indoor CQB and I think this is the coolest way to play the game. I have added an e-shooter tracer unit for the full laser beam effect 2nd Completed the DMR upgrade to the LCT G3, maple leaf 6.02 510mm stainless barrel, 4uantum hop rubber and nub and m130 spring. Shooting 1.88J on .36 BB’s like a laser. Had the selector modified to only shoot semi. After a couple of games it decided to shoot only full auto? Modified the trigger contacts as it was arcing giving the full auto then it decided not to fire at all. Now fitted a e shooter mosfet to solve those problems and now it’s shooting very well with a very short trigger pull. Modernised with the LCT m lok handguard and an unknown fore grip from the box of parts, trying to make this monster easier to handle, might look at adding a small bipod to the front but not convinced it will get used and just add weight? Any thoughts? 3rd WE Apache MP5, modernised with a Cyma m lok handguard to keep it looking like the G3. Had to modify it with a hacksaw to make it fit, like the look and it gives me options for torches and tracers for CQB or fore grips for woodland.

Brit/American crossover webbing set is finally in a decent place. Should hopefully only need a few very minor tweaks now (famous last words). Pic added for @Diemaco

Its other peoples thoughts and opinions that dial 999 and report suspicious person i think he might be armed. Its other people ( armed cops ) who decide wether you look like s threat and shoot you. Its other peoples opinion wether you are prosecuted or not. Its other people opinion wether you get sent down or not. DO NOT DO IT.

I honestly don't think that's the solution, you might get odd looks in daylight... you'll get a cavity search by the polis doing it at night.

I love the classified section on here, but my wife doesn't. 😆

Oops..

Ah my nemesis returns

Heckler & Koch collection... We don't talk about the blue one.

Guys, no personal attacks please. Very few sites are shit, how they're run is often the issue, BUT Usually the biggest problem are some of the players themselves, wannabe tough guys/teams with overinflated ego's that think they're better than they actually are, or downright cheats, & if a site fails to quickly nip this shit in the bud, a poor site reputation soon follows.

Now for my Sniper/Bolt action/DMR collection...

Great evening shoot at Trigger Happy Airsoft in Belfast. First time playing there and gameplay was fast and frantic at time, proper CQB vibes. Bit disappointed I couldn't chuck my BFGs but understand as its nearby streets and out of respect to the neighbours. Noticed a few safety concerns and reported them directly to the marshals and they where appreciated and supportive of constructive feedback. I hadn't filled my air tank for Mp7 HPA rig and it ran out middle of a fire fight, dead trigger 🙃 Back to the safezone and grabbed by back up DE M923G which I forgot how decent out of the box. Spoilt with CQB sites at the moment and I know my next outdoor skirmish im going to do some whinging 😆😆😆

Getting there with the MWS, VFC Storm Grip on the way as well as a genuine Diemaco stock. Internally fitted a Jaeger NPAS, although as its getting colder now I probably won't end up needing it! Also dug out my ancient set of para webbing, can't wait to field it.

Tanaka Performance Centre 629 in Nato Green ( baby-puke green 😆) Literally in mint condition,boxed with all its original bits ( including the fill adaptor)

If only more people used "barrel socks" irl, we might not have quite so many retards on sites😏

Or next hell move to a rental only site. Can only use his guns. Put a meter on the toilet like at the sea side so 50p for a piss.

Thanks all for your help. I’ll give the Classified section a go 😊

My SMG/PDW collection, a few cross overs between collections now (ie:- Colt 9mm SMG)

Thanks for that little rant; it says so much about you, none of it positive. When I write about my airsoft days, I focus on the gameplay. I am not writing a review; there is a separate section on here for that. You have either totally ignored what I wrote about being constructive or have not understood it. I talk to site owners about issues so that they can decide what, if anything, to do about them. i don’t know you so I can neither like nor dislike you.

No, I don't think we echo your thoughts on this. Legal doesn't mean sensible to do. Not caring what anyone thinks may sound tough and heroic but it can be ultimately foolhardy. As others have said, just because something you plan to do might be legal, that doesn't mean you don't run the risk of an armed police response. You don't need to open-carry a RIF to get the police called on you. If you "look the part", people won't hang about and give you the benefit of the doubt no matter how little you care what anyone thinks.

Deadpool (Soft Pool?) 2.0 got some photos yesterday. I'd done a cosplay show earlier and thought I'd get some shots with the shiny new drum Deagles. I'm also making an appearance at LAC's zombie night next month, so I got some shots of the Zombie Pool mask too. Not gonna be to everyone's taste, but I usually get a few laughs (and shot in the ass a lot! 😆)

The fact that you asked the question proves your not a complete and utter idiot. However if your seriously considering this, then you not far off! SERIOUSLY DO NOT DO IT. If anyone sees you they will almost certainly call the police on you which will probably result in an armed response. At the best you will then spend a few hours in the cop shop while they question you and look into your background. As well as the possible consequences for you it is another mark against airsoft.

Migration is happening middle of next week (Tuesday through Thursday). The old forums will be made accessible in a read only mode for a few weeks afterwards, but again the plan is to move as much data as possible anyway. For the avoidance of doubt: accounts and posts will carry over as well as any existing threads, but probably nothing else. You will be able to log into your existing account as normal.

But my tism won't let me 😁 Besides... it's not them all. Not posted my pistols or totally fecked up cheaper than cheap 2 tones.

New gun day. ❤️ Tac 41 lite, it's reputation preceeds it. Beautifully made and well presented in its box. I opted to get the extra 110 shot magazine for aesthetics and functionality, it came with the smaller one already in the box and an extra spring. The quality is evident, especially the aluminium receiver/scope mount. Glad I opted for this rather than the sport version. It's quick and easy to assemble, there's instructions in the box but being a man I didn't need them. Id watched enough YouTube reviews before purchasing to know how to put it together. I'll be purchasing more mags and the recon stock from fire support in the future to give me more flexibility in the field but for now I'm a very satisfied customer. Unfortunately I'm not allowed it till Christmas, so I haven't properly fired it yet but the action is smooth and it all functions perfectly. Can't wait for Christmas. Thanks to impulse and others for the recommendation.

That's one thing which tripped me up. Arriving late I missed the safety brief so I didn't know about that rule. I agree with it as it's an extra layer of safety, but what I didn't like was that when I was pulled up for it I mentioned that it wasn't on the website, just to get a curt "it's on the Facebook page". The same member of staff didn't look too happy when rather than give them any more money I used one of the spare pair of hiking socks i kept in my kit bag

Seriously wtf is going on with used Airsoft lol

I said might.. That lasted 24 hours. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is a good one, I’ve only ever played my local sites and the Gaol thread has prompted me to book there next month. Its been on my list but ironically its potential closure is the thing that has gotten me off my arse to actually plan a visit.

This site has a classifieds section.

Definitely something like that. Knock the old prison blocks down and build something new and shit that no one asked for.

Some people are incapable of learning from their own experiences.

Rather than fear of arrest, the advice is the fear of attention. Pre-speed cameras we used to call it the ‘attitude test’ when stopped by traffic police. Failing the attitude test today could be the difference between a concerned person reporting strange activity that gets an inquisitive Bobby talking to you , and a night in the cell.

If it's only the law that matters, can you tell us why you haven't considered the possibility that you can still be arrested for and charged with a public nuisance offence?

Just another couple of irrelevant thoughts. One of our original three founding members of the team had just left the marines, therefore our original t-shirt is identical in appearance to regimental t shirts worn by service personnel. No particular problem as it’s just a green t shirt with a military style logo. However as we are situated around the Salisbury Plain area, and may be up in the morning at the weekend in combat trousers and team t shirt you can then add on one of us who gets short hair cuts but has no situational awareness, and on his way to a game day will routinely stop at the garage for coffee & a newspaper. There are certain types of people who have been hanging around the Salisbury Plain area for decades keeping an eye out for easy targets with no situational awareness. Add to that a few years ago a newer type of people who conducted an untargeted / random attack on an individual who was selected due to proximity, a camouflage style back pack and a short haircut Worst case scenario - you don’t know the current security risk and could be mistaken for what you are not. Easy case scenario - random member of the public finds you suspicious and a call is made, resulting in educational words Ridiculous idea - what landowner would ever think that any business use would be viable when it depends on people getting out of bed on a wet Sunday to dress up and run around the woods????

That doesn't make things any better. Infact joe public is more likely to shit the bed seeing a group of people wearing military kit than one lone weirdo. Then why ask if it's a good idea? Btw that attitude doesn't paint you in a good light, you just sound like a 15 year old emo kid trying to be edgy

WE L85A2 GBBR from Surplus Store. Wanted the WE GBBR as... 1. wanted a proper A2 as most of my SA80's were springers. 2. wanted the WE as I have plenty mags for it so no further expence. (got some from the classifieds for my XM177 ages ago)

Top day on Saturday at Driver Wood - players maybe hovering between 80 - 100. First game was a fallback game - starting in 'the village', then moving onto the trenches field, and ending off on ‘Oxford Street’ complete with double decker busses, black cabs etc. We were the attacking team with unlimited re-spawn, the defenders were limited to 50 re-spawns on each field. For the first time in a while, I really enjoyed this game - the KC02 recently purchased from the classified section was incredible. The usual stalemate and lack of movement that this game mode can suffer from seemed to be solved in this instance – possibly due to the slightly lower numbers, and partly due to the additional aggression and urgency within the attacking team. Second game of the morning used the main area of the site, and saw me swapping to the upgraded L96 – probably one of most profitable sessions as a sniper that I have had actually. I sacked off any form of ghillie suit, with full reliance of the multicam tropic to do its stuff amongst the Rhododendrons, and focused on plenty of movement to get into advantageous positions. The L96 was shooting absolutely beautifully – it’s a while since I played with it, and the maple leaf bucking must be at least 5 years old now, so I had worried that it would be beyond its best. After lunch, we moved onto a game whereby teams had to locate a satellite dish hidden within the site, and take it to various objectives. I swapped to my recently built M723 for this game – which again, was performing phenomenally. The satisfaction that comes from building a gun from a variety of parts – some new, some old – and then have it work flawlessly on its maiden voyage is immense. I got team killed a few times on this game which is frustrating – but one of the down sides of being on the purple team. The darker arm bands are great for camo, but also make it more likely your own team will light you up. Second game of the afternoon involved the teams collecting bones hidden around the site, and then assembling as much of a complete skeleton as possible within their bases. Bases could be attacked, and bones captured from the other team. Mid-way through, we got word that the Greens had the majority of the bones, so Purple teams’ focus shifted to a relentless assault on the green base. Unfortunately the defence was solid, and whilst we were making progress, the game ended before we could dislodge all of the attackers. Final two games of the day were short games of ‘zombie ‘ – all players holed up inside a large two story structure known as the ‘fortress’, with a few players outside ‘the zombies’. As soon as you are hit, you spawn a short distance from the building and join the zombies. Surprisingly good fun – and the sound of the metal glad walls of the fortress being liberally sprayed from one of the zombies LMGs really added to the flavour. As I was rocking a DMR in the final part of the afternoon, I switched to my AAP – and managed to pick off a handful of zombies at the foot of the fortresses walls before the inevitable happened. A cracking day, superbly marshalled, with all players appearing in good spirits. No hit taking issues as far as I could tell. The site seems to have lots of investment put into it, with a large number of new buildings being constructed, including a new ‘church’ in the village.

"Looking geared up with bullets and grenades" per se may not be illegal, but if you do it in the right/wrong place, at the right/wrong time, seen by the right/wrong person, it could be a Public Order Act 1986 Section 5 offence isn't it. It also makes you immediately identifiable as a suspect of some firearms related offence (possession of ammo) and met with armed response as pointed out above. If you go hiking like this, there are an infinite number of scenarios that can happen that could get you into all kinds of trouble. To avoid 100% these scenarios, you just don't do it. Also, you getting into trouble is one thing, you potentially damaging the reputation of this hobby is another. In this context "not caring what others think" is pure inconsideration and negligence. It is not a virtue. I don't care about what others think about you either, but I care about what others think about the hobby in general if people sees someone hiking with toy gun mags because they play airsoft.

Or a DMR?
