    First time opening a gearbox

    Been there, done that, got the badge! Sat doing the same, youtube on the laptop. Step by step guide. Viewed it, did a bit, viewed some more, paused, did a bit. Then picked the pile of pieces up and took it to a mates house for him to fix! Doh. Must admit though, I have the attention span...

    Nice quote from "No Easy Day" author

    Im ex military, did 22 years with one of the finest infantry Regiments in the world. I just love sitting back and watching everyone having a bloody good time! Its always suprising to see how much tactical awareness people have. Do your own thing, enjoy life to the full. Nilus Illigitimus...

    How do you feel after a game day?

    Before: Exited. Cant wait to get to site and catch up with everyone. See what the day brings and prepare for it. During: Amazed at the sheer proffesionalism of (nearly) every one. Amazed that I can still run around and laugh as if nobody is watching me! Amazed that I got shot in the Arrsse...

    Opinions on younger kids playing?

    56 and still running around like a ferret!! Kids are the future of the game and we should nuture them, treat them as equals (dare I say as 'grown ups'?). I would just like to see more interaction between the little buggers and the older players in the Safe Zones. Pass your knowledge on, we all...

    Should Ricochets Count ?

    Definetly No. But, can be used as an effective defence in CQB. Was at Billericay in the Green Zone and just bouncing bbs off the entrance wall every second or so, on single shot. Kept ten of the opposing team out for ages.

    Disappointment with G&P SR25 DMR

    Bigshep, totally agree. Taking it back to them on Friday as still under warranty. Means yet another weekend without it. Not a happy bunny, but what can you do? Poured to much money into it to abandon.

    Disappointment with G&P SR25 DMR

    More disappointment FFS!!! Out yesterday (Sunday) just walked to the start point (defend the bunker). Fired off a couple of warmers into the bank. Now remember this is a DMR. Supplier locked it into single shot only, no auto as per the rules. Knelt down, fired off another round and the thing...

    knuckle up mofos - my loadout

    Hi BD, You up for the Skirmish Cup at Billericay on July 5th? Promises to be a good weekend. If you are, look out for me, I'm the old bugger with the Echo Troop patch on his vest and the DVD beard (thats Dick Van Dyke for you who are...........young). I think we came third last year.

    Disappointment with G&P SR25 DMR

    Took it to Dragons Lair on Sunday just gone. One of the guys from the supplier helped me with the hop up and zeroing in. Still has a few teething problems. When I load a mag (all Magpul Pmags now!!) and start shooting, the first 5 or 6 BBs go out to 20 ft, 30ft, 40 ft then it starts to reach...

    FPS up/down grade for site switchability

    Is there such a thing? I know from personal experience (when I was that FNG) how frustrating it can be to turn up at a site, ready for a good days skirmishing only to chrono and find that you exceed the site limits. No shoot, go home dejected. Unless some kind person has a 'spare' you can...

    Disappointment with G&P SR25 DMR

    Hi Moose87, Lets put it this way. I have a Cyma MP5 SD6 that is out ranging the SR25. Have taken it out just to test fire and still not impressed. Starts of with the bb (.25s) going about 30' the next one will go 35' then 40ish and so on. Its almost like its warming up (which I suppose it...

    Hi Airsoft-Ed, Thank you very much for the offer. After some, actually a lot, of time searching the Interweb, found a supplier who had 3 in stock. They arrived this morning.
