That is very poor, despite the attempt to rectify the situation later. Like Caesar’s wife, owners, marshals and their offspring need to be beyond reproach. I have marshalled at two sites where one or both of my sons played regularly when they were young; I made it very clear to them that they...

I allowed a friend to persuade me to go to Splatoon. We both regretted it. We went home early. Never again.

I knew Lemmy quite well from 2001 onwards; he would be rather surprised and shocked if there was an afterlife. 😄

I have been listening to quite a lot of Motörhead this evening, following Phil Campbell's death.

A self destruct button would be more fun, but it is the BHO on the real steel Saiga 12.

I have now established that it only runs off a DC input (either XT60 or USB-C), so no direct mains, which is not really a problem. What is slightly more concerning is that it does not seem to charge accurately, although I guess it is adequate for an emergency charge during a game day; however...

if you are renting, you will probably need to book in advance at most sites. Airsofters are always happy to talk about their guns so, when you are at the site, talk to people, ask them about them; they will probably let you fondle them. You can get an idea of which ones you like, how heavy...

I bought an ISDT 608PD, just to try it out. It doesn't function on the input from a high capacity and high output power bank, but is ok on mains power. How is yours working?

It might be worth noting the data that the app collects.

Strangely, I have had some absolute bargains from there.

It would be an immense project; everything inside the shell, and possibly some of the shell, would need to be modified, rebuilt or changed. While it could be done, the cost would probably be prohibitive and the likelihood of producing something that consistently worked well rather low.

It was a misty, chilly morning at Airsoft Plantation; however, this did not deter the hardy band of players who arrived for a day of shooting each other with little plastic balls and blowing each other up. Having changed the hop rubber and nub and fitted an M110 spring in the AKM4 monstrosity...

I am really sorry to learn about your health issues and your departure from this strange hobby. Look after yourself and find pleasure in the things that you do.

If they are covered, they wouldn't fall within HMRC's remit; they would fall under the Export Control Joint Unit's purview. However, given that they are freely for sale in the UK, I doubt that there is anything to worry about.

Just to clarify, I think what you are saying is that the lug on the mag catch will not go into the rectangular cutout on the side of the upper part of the drum mag. Is this correct? Can you take a photo of how the mag catch looks when the drum mag is inserted into the magwell, so that we can...
