Also the fact that it can be run on green gas, but to do so you'll need to buy a conversion kit separately that isn't even out yet. But yeah, no stock on a sniper rifle is egregious... Entirely not my cup of tea though. Looks like a toy, probably feels like a toy with how light it is.

Got home from this weekend's Shift Your RIFT event and holy hell was it a scorcher. A not insignificant number of people went down with dehydration, heat exhaustion or sunstroke because it was basically 30c all day on both days with very little wind and limited shaded areas. Fortunately for me...

Went to Worthing Airsoft on Sunday to play airsoft. Though I'm not sure I'd count it as "playing airsoft" with how I played this weekend. I only played half the day, as I needed to make sure guns were working for next weekend at rift, but in the morning games I fired a grand total of... 0 shots...

I didn't have good experiences with the Silverback suppressor. BBs kept clipping the end cap. Also, while it's not as long as the TM suppressor, it's... really thicc (with two Cs) and quite heavy. No experience with the Nov suppressor, but his stuff tends to be at least serviceable. If it's...

Me and the friend I pair up with often are of the same mind too. He likes his M05 Finnish camo because it works well in UK woodlands and nobody else uses it, and I went with camo from countries I have ties to but are uncommon in the UK, hence I've settled on Dutch NFP and Spanish M09. The...

2nd parcel from the continent arrived today, so in another episode of "Impulse wanting to be a unique little snowflake" I present the other half of my non-English heritage, and the country I actually lived (and played airsoft!) in for about 6 years... 🇪🇸 Good news is, the woodland trousers...

Great day at Driver Wood today, despite the goddamn rain (been lovely all week, but of course because it's airsoft day it meant that it was time for rain). I decided to use my Tanaka AICS + p226 combo today, and the AICS was performing phenomenally all day. Always tickles me when I'm using a gun...

It's not an exciting new gun or anything like that, but... I decided to pick up some new camo trousers in a pattern that both I have a connection to, but also that I never see in airsoft in the UK. Oh I do like to be a unique special little snowflake 😂 🇳🇱

Right, I think I might be set on the current set of guns for Shift Your RIFT in a few weeks. Only thing that might change is the p226 getting swapped for the M&P9L if my Boomarms order arrives on time. Plan is to use the mk12 or m21, but the AICS and m733 are backups / if I decide I don't want...

I give everyone 3 chances. First two shots are going on whatever is displayed and easiest to hit, usually the plate carrier. Third shot and subsequent ones are going in the face, hands, nuts, inner thigh etc. If they're then going to moan about such shots, my thinking is that they should've...

Yeah. They stuck a £32 VAT charge and then an extra £28 for the privilege of glancing at it.

Hah... £60 customs charge on a €150 order... Daylight bloody robbery

And my parcel from the Netherlands was released by customs today. Just give it a few days and I'm sure yours will get through too

It's why I generally don't sell any of my guns. All of my guns have been tweaked and tuned and obsessively upgraded, but as has been said a lot of people view upgrades as no added value at best, and reducing the value at worst because so many people have no idea how to tune their guns. No way...

Yeah, I've got the same with some parcels that I'm expecting from Europe. One arrived here on Friday last week, but since then we've only had 1 working day, so it makes sense that I haven't heard yet. As @Austeyr says, start chasing it up after a week or two
