    Omw back from the Midlands Airsoft Fair. 

    It was okay, but not quite as good as the last one in 2019, imo. 

    Picked up a CYMA AK74U, a few mags & sights and that was about it. 

    Typical that I realised I could have got myself a railed upper receiver for it there too, only AFTER I'm on the way home. ??

    UKARA set minimum engagement distances now apparently?

    That's news to me. ? ? ?

    Maybe he meant 50 feet...

    You know, when you use an inferior unit for measures that relies on fuck all logic :P

    Let's just say the head marshal hates snipers.

    on a serious note, sites should figure out at what distance a heavy bb fired at 2.3J drops its energy to a "safe" level (say 1J). Your 20m bog standard MED was calculated on a 0.20g bb being fired at 500 fps, we all know that heavy bbs retain their energy for a longer time/distance and that nobody with at least one working brain cell would use 0.2s in a 2.3J gun.

    No, he definitely meant metres. "I was in the army, I know distances!" ?

    Like I say, I've no problem with sites running any rules they want, just the passing bullshit off as fact. ?

    @Skara i did run the math on it, a 2.5j shot with a 0.2gbb has 0.39j at 20m, with a 0.5g bb you're talking 1.27j, which lines up surprisingly well with a 1.3j limit for auto/non MED pews

    I'm heading through to London next week for the first time in a while.

    Is there anywhere airsoft-related (or similar) you'd recommend visiting?

    I know of Wolf Armouries, and I'm flying there & back, so won't be able to buy anything gun-like, but wouldn't mind a browse, or a short shoot; be it on a range or a game.

    What is there?

    what part of London? You can try Bunker 51 but iv'e not heard great things... AirsoftZone in Romford. Proairsoftsupplies in Archway

    if you're looking for a game nearby, Tactical Warfare near Croydon plays Saturday and is pretty cheap

    I hate ordering from X-Fire sometimes.
    At least it's less expensive...  <_<

    Truly useless website. Their new one is just as bad too.

    Seriously it's not that hard to have proper postage calculations - it must be so expensive for them to manually calculate every shipping fee.

    It's just taken so long to even approach getting my parcel.

    It's spent about a week in customs before they've even thought about sending me the invoice.
    Annoying when it can travel all the way from Japan in under 48 hours.

    Remember as soon as it hits your local depot you can ring in - even without the letter - and pay over the phone. But yeh, HMRC have been a bit useless lately. I've something that's been stuck in there for a few days now also.

    Hudson
    Spent most of yesterday kitting up for shooting today, and it ended up having to be cancelled due to low numbers. Yay. :(

    It's a fairly large site - old abandoned WW2 RAF training ground. It's got 5 main areas of contact between the two teams, so at 120, that's 60 on each team, split across the 5 areas which takes it down to 12 per squad, minus 4 on each who are doddling back to respawn, so each little concentrated battle only becomes 8 on 8 (give or take, the Grasslands area usually has a little more as it's a larger space).

    Parking is tricky though!

    Despite all the slagging they get; I honestly can't fault OnlyBBguns for this order.

    Lone UK stockist (that I could find) Over 20% less than the usuall RRP, free delivery & arrived the day after it was posted.

    Still feel a bit dirty though!  :lol:

    It is deserved..  BUT if your after something and they are cheaper then why not!! I tend to stay away from a couple of shops for previous customer service issues, employment issues and ethical reasons, until its going to affect my wallet and place an order.. But your right does make me feel dirty  B)

    They are the better of 3 x well known BB shop muppets

    still a bit mickey mouse but like you say if you know what you want and they have it then it is worth a look.

    Most of their stuff is 2-tone as they mainly sell to newcomers

    but even then bought a few bits off them in the past and all good

    even a 2-tone non blowback m92 wasn't bad for £30 - 10% discount delivered.

    Despite the newbie beginner shop - good to support some local shops now n then I guess

    wouldn't catch me recommending JBBG

    highly highly unlikely to suggest BBGuns4Less

    But Only - aka iwholesales - same addy are ok out of the 3

    glad you got it sorted

    Hudson
    Dear Lord I can't believe I'm even considering it...but how are OnlyBBguns for delivery?

    I know; I wouldn't even think about using them normally; but they're the only place I can find what I'm after in stock, and the item itself is actually a decent product; is it worth it, or are they con-artists?

    Now excuse me whilst I shower the filth away.

    I am ordering G&G 0.25g BBS from them for a decent (the lowest) price I can find! (Ordering 5 bags) I think the postage is free and takes 3-4 days.

    Sitting Duck thanks a lot!!! The discount code works!

    Yep, worked for me too!

    One VZ58 RIS kit ordered!
    £58.49 delivered, as opposed to the £80 everywhere else has it advertised for! (Assuming they even have them in stock).

    Thanks very much, Mister Duck!

    Japan to UK: < 36 hours 
    Halfway across England: Several days & counting. Yaaaay parcel force!

    Are there any spray-paints out there that give a nice Coyote brown type colour? (And are available in the UK)

    Hudson
    Are there any sites around (20/30 minutes) Manchester that are a mix of indoor and outdoor?

    I don't suppose anyone has the front end from an AK beta they'd sell, do they?

    @Lozart - It is if its a noname cheapo brand :P

    I usually find, the cheaper the PSU, the more likely it is to spike and wipe out the HDD too. That's why I have a Corsair HX1050....

    Like Lozart says: If your PSU goes then it usually takes at least the motherboard with it.

    Might just be heat though. Clean them fans and radiators yearly, people. And don't use generic case fans (with a few exceptions) unless you like poor air flow.

    Urgh. 15 year olds trying to buy my RIFs. > :(

    First, be smart from the very beginning. Pulverize all teeth, burn off fingerprints, and disfigure the face. Forcing a DNA test to establish identity (if it ever comes to that) might introduce the legal/forensic hurdle that saves your ass down the line. An unidentifiable body can, in a pinch, be dressed in thrift store clothes and dropped in a bad part of town where the police are less likely to question it. I don't reommend that disposal method, I'm just saying an easily identifiable...

    Bury the body parts at least 2m underground, vertically, with a dead fox or something equivalent at least 2 feet above the body. Satellites use ground penetrating radar to look for 5-6ft horizontal shallow holes in the ground. And the fox is for if a police dog finds the body; investigators will find the animal and assume that's what the dog smelt (dogs are trained to find buried bodies, whatever the species)

    Are replacement parts for the Echo 1 Vintorez available anywhere?

    If you can find out the company who actually made it, probably.

    Well the E1 and AY seem to the be the same model, from what I can tell.

    I'm looking at giving some .30 ammo a try for general AEG usage; are there any new-ish brands out that are worth a look before I go for some blasters?

    I'll have a look into the proballs. Might even try the .32s.

    First visit to Proving Grounds today. Was okay; but I won't be hurrying back anytime soon.
