If I was marshalling at a site where I had my own children playing, I'd hold them to a higher standard than the other airsofters but it sounds like this situation was the other way around.

Went to Driver Wood on Saturday this week instead of Sunday. Seemed like the correct choice, with Sunday being Mother's Day and the clear and sunny forecast looking better for Saturday than the potential overcast and rain on Sunday afternoon. Still on the gear testing for the 24h milsim at the...

I headed out to Worthing Airsoft yesterday and was determined to play the full day, since I skipped the previous weekend because I'm just... tired of the wet and the cold. This weekend wasn't raining, though I wouldn't call it dry since the woodland was still pretty boggy in places, but was a...

I've been wondering how well that new thermal antifog works when using corrective lenses. My assumption is that it wouldn't work because it's heating the goggles, but not the inserts?

I had this in reverse a few game days ago. I pretty much always use medium powered magnified optics (anywhere from 3x up to 24x) so I can always see when I hit people with my bolt actions and DMRs so I never have this issue. However I used my URGI with an LPVO and was shooting at people under 1x...

Yeah, I mainly use GBBRs now and two of my gas sniper rifles don't use suppressors because I've come to realise that that level of silence is just... not really needed. And good players will still hear you unless you're shooting at distance, at which point they may not hear you anyway. Plus, as...

I have an expensive Wolverine MTW 308 Unleashed with a bunch of real-steel attachments, as well as a m14 and VSR converted to HPA with a Wolverine Hydra and Wolverine Bolt respectively. They all shoot stupidly well. Not really. It's too short for me to like it as a DMR. 13" handguard with a...

I believe STAR rebranded to Ares, right? Might be worth looking into Ares L85 parts and if they're compatible. I have no idea if they are, but I do believe that's what they rebranded to?

Because I am terminally single, and with the weather tomorrow looking rough, I went to Driver Wood today for a sunny, but chilly Saturday game. It was sunny all day, but the temperatures maxed out at 5 celcius, so I ended up leaving the m14 at home (5 celcius is just asking too much of it...)...

Back to Worthing Airsoft today for a much lower numbers day. Only about 40 people booked on, but it really felt like it was only about 35 players. This led to some really top quality gameplay, as it made it a lot easier to move around and have impact. I brought out a bunch of old kit, using my...

Yeah, I feel the same way. There are cameras everywhere in the safe zone, but especially considering all the guns I use are either expensive, or rare, or both, I never leave any of my guns unattended in the safe zone. My backup guns live locked away in my car.

The site itself is amazing, and they put a lot of effort into developing it. The game modes have improved too. But they definitely have a player mentality / general vibe issue for sure. It's not all the players, as I've met some great people there too, but there are definitely issues with some...

Went to Driver Wood today and... I'd love to say it was great, but it was pretty awful. To their credit, the marshalls were trying to police the non-hit taking and I saw them doing a lot of hit-checking today, but holy crap was it bad for non-hit takers today. Also, someone threw a tantrum when...

This is massive for me. They sell lots of weird m700 parts, so as long as I can get them to get stuff in, this'll be a big win for me. However, the Tanaka/KJW m700 is an incredibly niche platform. So this is great news for us weird niche gas bolt action people at least 😂

Difference at the upper ranges of weight are minimal. I've noticed a very minor difference between .43s and .48s at the longer ranges (70m+), and basically no difference between .45s and ,48s. I'm sure there is a difference between .45s and .48s, it's just negligible in practical terms...
