I don't think I'd stop shopping somewhere just because they stock KM products. Empire Airsoft has stocked KM products for a long time, but they're great guys and they even helped me get some weird and obscure m700 parts from Europe a year or two ago, then when I spoke to them at Shift Your RIFT...

I took a trip to Worthing Airsoft this weekend for a... fairly quiet one. Clearly everyone was up late watching the sportsball last night or something, I don't really know. Anyway, today was a low numbers day, which usually makes the airsoft better and today was no exception. It was a very warm...

Mechanically pistols can be just as accurate as rifles in airsoft. Practically, it's incredibly hard to shoot a pistol as easily and accurately as a rifle.

Yeah, same here. I think I can count it on one hand. Most of the time it's better to just quickly reload and re-engage with the rifle, or even just quickly reposition / fall back out of danger and then come back in

I've never found the bulk and added weight to be worth it for me. Mostly the bulk. Mk23s are big. It gets in the way far more times than it would've been useful. It's rare, even with a GBBR, but incredibly satisfying when it happens

As has been said, when you have an MED a pistol is very handy. So anyone carrying a 2.32J bolt action sniper rifle, DMR, or even an LMG I can see a pistol being handy. As a sniper/DMR addict, I use my pistol a hell of a lot, but I can see it being handy for an LMG user as well to allow them to...

As someone who has been sniping and DMRing for as long as I can remember... I always tell people the most effective gun is the lightweight AEG with high or midcap mags if you want to rack up kills, do the objective and win the game. I love being on the same team as the amped up rentals who want...

I'll second the D3CRM clone; it's great. I've got one along with the various inserts and it's such a great rig. The main downside of it is that it's not really customisable outside of the inserts. That said, you can double stack the inserts if you really want to, and there are expansion wings...

I went to Worthing Airsoft today for a hot and humid one after deciding yesterday that I would return to the gym after 3 months of not going with a 3hr full body workout followed by my usual 2km swim. I woke up this morning and I was aching literally everywhere, but I was determined! I thought...

[gets up on soapbox and rants about people who run .48s through their mk23s specifically as a sidearm to their 30m MED rifle, so specifically for close range engagements]

TM pistols are designed to work with 144a in temperatures that we've been having, so I imagine they'll be fine. Though if you're using green gas in TM pistols when it's over 30c, well... then it's your own fault.

1.3J is also the legal limit. Most sites use 1.14J to give a bit of wiggle room so if you fail chrono by a little bit you're not suddenly brandishing a Section 5 firearm. Same with bolt action snipers, any single shot (includes DMRs) has a legal limit of 2.5J, just most sites go with 2.32J for...

Only around 270fps because of the 20" barrel unfortunately, but that's well under 500fps so I'm fine 😅 What? You're telling me I'm missing an extra 0? Nahhhhh, fake news

Hunting GIs with their own weapons...

A very simple accessory for my stock pouch to really look the part. Those damn cheaters will call *these* hits (this is a joke, these are de-primed, inert rounds and are just for show!)
