    New to airsoft

    To clarify Punisher's comment about eye pro, you can get suitable eyewear for a very reasonable price if you're not borrowing a mask with rental gear. Under no circumstances should you buy eye pro from Ali Express or Temu. There are lots of fakes out there and products labelled for airsoft but...

    New to airsoft

    Welcome to the money pit! You'll find most airsofters to be very friendly and approachable. There is the odd bad apple and snooty clique group but most players are very welcoming. If you haven't already done so, I'd check the site rules before you to there and pay close attention to the...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Easily? Not in practice, they couldn't. You'd literally need to change UK law, superseding the Policing & Crime Act 2017 where the current 1.3J full auto limit is a matter of statute. After that, liability insurance policies will need to be underwritten again and premiums may go up as a result...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    It is but 16.2J in paintball isn't more than 10 times the perceived impact of 1.3J in airsoft. Paintballs have a larger surface area and they fragment on impact so a lot more energy is lost than with a BB hitting you.

    Where to sell gear

    I definitely side with Punisher on exercising extreme caution with Used Airsoft. There are scammers trying it on with sellers where they make false claims for non delivery so they claim their money back while keeping the item. As much as it pains me to say it, you can also try Facebook...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    I've played a couple of another sites that allow up to 1.3J on full auto but only with support guns, subject to an MED, being equipped with a bipod and being deployed on a fixed area prior to shooting and even then, you're only allowed a 4-second burst. With all those constraints in place, it's...

    Is a defence required for the sale of rif external parts

    I have to agree with Tommikka and Cannnonfodder on not blindly relying on AI in a lot of cases. An AI model's sources should be vetted for the most credible output. For all you know, a model could have trawled through a multitude of sources with consensus or majority views and push that as the...

    Tm famas sv

    There are at least two types of buyer and their different preferences will give a big gulf in pricing. You'll have collectors or enthusiasts of the FAMAS with no interest in fielding it so they won't try haggling down over things like replacing the hop rubber or servicing the gearbox or where...

    Efficient reverse image searching as always.

    It's the Italian version of the 1913 rail system. How did you not know that? On a more serious note, I give it a few hours before those images are found on eBay or another platform, with exactly the same wear pattern on the receiver and outer barrel.

    Question by 'Galvatron' in classified ad 'TM MWS mags x5'

    For the sake of those not quite as familiar with the platform, are you talking about the swivel piece that pivots a few degrees within the follower? It is pushed out by a tiny spring on empty but retracts, putting that same spring under tension when the follower is pushed down with BBs being fed...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    If a moderator gives the OK, I'll do it. I don't have the screenshot of the recent rant that got him booted but I have screenshots shared in a chat elsewhere of a similar tone in case he denies any history of it. Former members of the team posted on social media confirming they left without...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    There is one airsoft team that has effectively disbanded as of late as one member landed himself in hot water with a slew Islamophobic/racist/xenophobic rants he made on social media. Two members left and distanced themselves from him and he's finding himself banned from a few different sites...

    These scumbags expose themselves sooner or later.

    It's a meaningless thing to keep track of anyway as there's a decent chance it was test fired when it came off the production line.
