    Due to work, holidays etc getting in the way... Today was first time in months that i've been able to play... Good god I hurt all over, but boy what a laugh today...and only killed x1 AEG as well...stripped a tooth on the piston after lunch, not 20mins into 1st game.   But I ran my MTW all morning and it never missed a beat...so spent last part of the day trying to fault find the issue on the ICS.

    M
    6 Months since I played...god I'm so old and I hurt like a mofo..but an awesome day though!

    Yep...After Covid then Flu and other shite + work.... Time to Pew Pew again.  :)

    Not played in 6 weeks...Argh!  Can't wait till the 8th.. Bring it on!

    Don't think I've played in 6 months (but am also out on the 8th)! Where are you playing?

    Ace Airsoft in W/Midlands..my local site. (Well it takes me 45mins to get there..lol)

    Missed game day today as got D&V...bugger!  Not a happy camper....

    D&V? Is that a weird sexual thing?

    Oh... diarrhoea and vomiting.

    Ok, i'm a bit of a Vortex Fanboy....but I thought i'd come to the end of the road currently with collecting optics....but they're releasing the X6 Magnifier..... Hmmm.  :)

    What's the advantage over say a 1-6x24 scope?  

    M
    Monkman
    I have a Strike Eagle 1x6 LPVO... Spitfire x1 Prism, SPARC AR which used to be paired with my x3 Magnifier...but now paired with my UH1 GenII.  SPARC AR needs a Magnifier...it's all lonely by itself..that's my justification/reasoning...hahahaha

    Thanks @rocketdogbert.   That makes sense.  

    I knew that a lot of people cannot use a scope both eyes open.  I would have thought that using a 1x would be easy enough though.  Must be a more common affliction than I thought.  

    M
    Whole month without airsofting.... Bloody shift patterns...even working over Xmas as well.. :(     Merry Christmas guys and I hope Santa brings you something long, hard & black... A Rif I hope.. ;)

    If it makes you feel any better, looking at the news I think we're all going to have a whole month without airsoft coming up ?

    i have yet to play since July 2019...!!!!

    struggle to get the time

    M
    Was getting pestered to get my booster jab, one day before gameday.  Glad I told them to F'off.. As had it yesterday and today I can't lift my left arm very well...and have a mad headache. (Will be fine tomorrow)  AIRSOFT comes first..then booster.  ;)

    Yea the latest booster wiped my energy levels, but it did make my mom somewhat sick for a day. No reason it cant wait a day haha.

    Says to self...Today I must not go charging through the stream..it's cold and it's probably not a good idea.  Comes back to safe zone at end of the day, soaking wet.  Bollocks!  (I'll do anything to try & win)  :)

    Never mind in years to come you can sit back and think “why yes I was a right fecking idiot running through that stream , my bloody arthritis is killing me now !” ?

    M
    Note to self...never role play as a Zombie against 60 players.  I've lost count of all the BB welts on my  poor knackered body..LoL  (Was fun at the time though)

    was a very good game that, felt sorry for you though

    I saw Swamp Sniper/Ballahack in The US runs those. Apparently it's $70 to be a human, $5 to be a zombie. Guess we know why now!

    M
    Monkman
    No, I was asked to play as Zombie for 1st game, then Killer Clown in the 2nd..Then I got to play rest of the day. :)

    M
    Well that was interesting..swapped out the Maple Leaf Super macaron 70 bucking, for my old G&G Green and shot accuracy improved with my MTW!  :)

    Not surprising. Those greens are a really stable and consistent performer.

    The G&G is pretty good.

    Want to buy brand new A&K M60 for £160?  https://www.sixmm.com/collections/on-sale/products/a-and-k-full-metal-mk43-mod-0-airsoft-aeg?fbclid=IwAR1Va3hgjDcxrf8fQNvqMnbttOJ9vUKQi8QKermG1EsLTaybVyJT5o5UJEI

    I've bought a lot of bits & pieces from these guys..but buying a RIF.. I dunno....import fees & tax's will be quite heavy...and considering Chinese have a habit of saying they are toy parts and rifs being siezed and destroyed..from what've i've seen in forums/reddit.. Think I'll pass on this...

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Yup, I'm now only ordering small stuff from Abroadland that I can afford to write off.  No chance would I gamble on a RIF at the moment.

    Still, this is all great news for the UK's local airsoft manufactu- awwww. :(  

    Cr0-Magnon
    Cr0-Magnon
    Also check reviews of that site....

    M
    Monkman
    Yep, seen the reviews but I have ordered a lot of bits from then in the past..all arrived ok, but not a RIF though.  Last order was for x4 Gas mags for the AK and tools and addons.  Got burned by the whole shitfest that was getting a rif from the EU...won't ever import one again, even from China.  :)   Parts/bits ok, but not full on Rifs.

    Shame, didnt get chance to try this place out since the revamp.

    Shame. No-one likes to see businesses close. 

    Hopefully this is just the start of a new chapter, there's loads of retail space empty at the moment so fingers crossed they find a new home and a more agreeable landlord elsewhere. If Zed can set up in an old Debenhams then there's hope.

    Rogerborg

    There's loads of space, but the question is whether it's affordable. You're talking 6 figures just in rates alone for decent sized commercial properties, before you pay a penny towards rent, utilities or maintenance.

    Absent running places as charities, claiming that they're derelict (how, if they've got a tenant?) or exploiting temporary rates holidays, it's hard to see how indoor sites are viable.

    M
    And so it begins...  The gun wall.  3 Down... 8 more to go. (Once I make more room in me garage of course)  **Yes the M16 is held together by gaffer tape..need to replace the metal retainer in the stock as it broke...gaffer tape holds it all together quite well.  :)

    Went to InRange today to spend a couple of hours on the range to test the WE AK74 PMC....  Quite impressed..shoots really well and blown away that I don't need to alter anything as even on Red Gas it's still below 350fps and I get almost 3 reloads on the 40rnd mags...

    M
    No this can't be true...it's can't be... My GBBR from Gunfire.com is out for delivery with UPS!  has it finally cleared customs?  Who knows....I am waiting....

    From what I've heard, people say that the GLS service they now use is much better and on time. Maybe I'll try for myself.

    From what I've heard, they've now given up on the UK.

    Really, how long ago did you order it?

    M
    Monkman
    23rd June I placed the order...arrived in the UK on 29th June and sat there, waiting for Customs to clear it until 3am 9th August when it was scanned leaving on a UPS truck.

    Enola Gaye are Gay....they told me EG67 nades would be hitting retailers beginning July...but no where to be found.  Wonder if I should email them back to call them out... :)

    You know, glitternades would take some of the "It didn't get me" / "Yes it did" out of splosion kills.  If your face is covered by "the herpes of the crafting world", then clearly you took a full load of if.

    M
    LoL... Bloke turns up 2hrs+ late for the game, complains no one is around to sign him in, throws a strop saying shit organising of the event..then promptly leaves.  hahaha did I miss something.....maybe don't turn up late for game day!  (I was in safe zone putting masking tape on my M16 stock..yep screw stripped and fell out..masking taped up the stock and solid now..lol)

    Yep bloody fool.

    On game days I'm up early, have prepared kit night before and get to site as gates open. Wander round,chat and drink free coffee ☕.  Stress free and well prepared for the fray lol

    I'd put him squarely in the small minority of people who should just be BTFO'd right out of the hobby. All the grief and drama seems to come from a handful of autards and sociopaths, and I think we could get along quite nicely without them.

    M
    Well it's almost a month now since I ordered from Gunfire.... UPS were giving me all kinds of wrong info.  Gunfire got in on the action and found out what's going on.  UPS do not have the package, but Border Farce has it and it's stuck waiting to be released.  UPS said there was issues with paperwork, but Gunfire have said that's bollox... It's our own Customs peeps who are sitting on my package.

    2nd time @ InRange again...took the rebuilt Bolt M16 (Which is awesome again..thankyou Luke!) - G&G 416 and MTW to try and fine tune the Dwell settings..finished off again with Attack Sense range to try and improve my times.. They're having a competition next Wednesday night..so should be fun! :)

    M
    Well shit..... Was driving to play @ ACE today and windscreen wiper mechanism breaks, spazzing out the drivers side blade. (Socket sheered off) - So slow drive back to the house trying to see through the rain... Ordered new windscreen wiper bracket set and new torque wrench/socket set. (Some of my tools somehow disappeared during recent house move)  Spent all week looking forward to playing..even in the rain!  Even booked today as holiday from work!  Pissed off does not begin to explain how I feel today...and still no GBBR from fucking UPS!!!  :angry:

    Nice one... There were supposed to be 4 of us playing...but only one of us turned up and Gareth was asked to marshal, as everyone who was due to play/marshal had one reason or another to miss out. (Sickness/Vehicle issues and for one..playing in the rain he does not like..lol)

    Least Luke (Negative) sorted out my BOLT I sent back to him, turns out the Perun mosfet got grease on the optical sensors, so he's wacked in a hybrid mosfet and also replaced the motor as works fine for x2 mags then goes gagaa...

    Can't make ACE again till next month now due to shit load of weekend work coming up. :(   But will be heading to PPK in Kidderminster for Friday night airsoft evening...and also will pop into InRange again later in the week.
