    Little tribute to my former unit's heydays.

    Propane gas

    I buy bulk MAPP propane from a certain DIY store, the main advantage is price but there's no difference with Green Gas in winter. The real difference lies with the hop-up. The lack of silicone oil in the propane gets your hop-up to have a better effect on the unlubricated BB. And use...

    Getting BBs in a VFC M4 mag (gen 3)

    I'm using one of these mag shaped speedloaders using a thumb pusher. I've snapped the latter on one already. Had one of those nearly split in half and had to tape it. And yet, I can only get 17 bbs in a 30 rounds mag... What are your solutions to get 30bbs into each mag ?

    Experiments with two sets. First one is soft posture and motorised, quite light setup, mostly Arktis Crossrig with WAS pouches coupled with a WAS battle belt with mostly Arktis pouches. Second one is dismounted long range/deep recce, heavier setup with OD PLCE attached to a BHI OD LBV to boost...

    The VFC / Umarex HK416 Owners Thread

    Up, because I'm wondering about the same thing, I've made a mess of my hop-up because I used a homemade bore snake. thinking of changing it but eyeing a precision barrel if there is such a thing.

    Back when I was shooting at things and people for a living, I had the following setup: - a Jayjay's MC belt kit - a mesh vest with slanted MOLLE loops on the torso rather than the H-yoke. I had picked that config for field work when we were not issued the Osprey, and before being issued...

    Yeah,  I just took my optics from my HK and put them on the Famas, and you're absolutely right, it is too high and I had to compensate for it. I'm looking at a Chinese ACOG clone to use instead.

    Last game at Red Alert (Newbury), pictures by Dan Wiltshire. Great day, great game. 20+ year old Famas coming out of retirement after 15 years of being in a basement. Luke Dobson slapped it back into shape and it ran fiiiiine.

    Plate carrier advice for ladies

    This is an issue I tried to weigh in on when I was in the Forces. The fact is, decades after female personnel were allowed to serve, despite them seeing combat during the GWOT, and years after they were allowed into combat arms, the kit, including PPE, is still designed with the male body in...

    Same game as the Captain, pics by Daniel Wiltshire, going back to my og team's camo. Had a great day with great team mates. And those accusations of war crimes are ludicrous.

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Noted for the wash temp. Quality is great. The kneepads are better built (sturdiness) than my Arktis trousers'.
