    I suppose when you get to Airsoft World's level and start socialising with their buyers on sites such as Facebook you can be a little more informal like that. But the fact they can't even spell *Forest... -_-

    actionhobbies are always doing stuff like this, not surprised :P I've never really seen them as a proper airsoft retailer for some reason anyway- this gives me a reason :D

    Hmm... To take the guns with me to Uni on the first day, or wait a few weeks and then go home and get them...?

    Liam, you really need to check your tenancy agreement carefully. I know when I was at uni, guns and any other weapons, including replicas and imitations, were totally banned from halls of residence and any other uni buildings/sites. In addition, the tenancy agreements for "headed tenancy" properties banned any type of wepaon in the houses. If you take them along, you might well find you have nowhere to keep them! Where abouts are you going to uni?

    Liam Porter
    Yeah, I've checked that Scooby, doesn't mention it in there. I won't take them first day, as won't be airsofting for few weeks anyway, so will talk to whoever at my accommodation and see what they say. If they say no, then I'll just have to go home every few weekends to airsoft :P

    Just make sure it's stored in an appropriate bag/box and kept out of sight. No one has the right to search your room/open your bags without either due cause or a warrant to do so. So no problem as long as no one knows it's there.

    Obviously this it teaching grandma how to suck eggs as you've been at this a long time, but there's no harm in reminding someone of their rights!

    Would be nice if there was more than 1 populated Project Reality server with a playable ping...

    Other way round I got myself confused, drakeling's good at 2 in the morning, NWA good at this time of night.

    Okay, thanks. Got work tomorrow, so won't be playing at 2am. Although last day Saturday, so I can play all night every night next week :P

    Oh god, I went through a phase of doing that. Things got so dire I had to resort to playing co-op but I had some good games tbh

    Well, back from France, to be honest, I didn't miss the Internet at all...

    Only enough to mention how you didn't miss it...

    Learn to lie better, noob! :P

    Well, I didn't miss it much. Back home and rather bored already.

    Great. Remove Teflon tape from M16 = FPS goes up by 5. Now getting 370. Got any ideas on quickly lowering FPS without opening the gearbox?

    Pierce the air nozzle with a pin? That's what I did with my MP5, brought it down by 30

    L
    Liam Porter
    The air nozzle's already got a hole in it (drilled as it's a metal nozzle), which Fire Support did because it came shooting 360, that lowered it to 340, and now it's gone back up again...

    clean the nozzle's hole with a pin

    Well I have a problem; convincing my friend to do airsoft for his birthday over paintball. I don't really want to pay £50 for 1000 shots of inaccurate paint, and have to wear the full face mask and silly overalls...

    show him some videos, seeing the amount of realism should get him to like it. Well thats what happened to me :P

    Tell him you get full auto, realistic guns, more ammo and it's much cheaper. There is no real advantage to paintball at all as far as I can see.

    Only advantage to paintball is that people don't look at you like a weirdo when you mention it

    How does the FPS of my M16 increase over the period of a year or so, without me changing anything?

    I've taken the barrel/hop out, but it's been gradually getting higher, rather than a sudden increase.

    Maybe its letting out one of those slow squeaky farts

    L
    Liam Porter
    Maybe, but it needs to be lowered again... I've actually just thought of what might be happening, when they lowered the FPS, they did it on a game day by giving it an air leak, by putting a tiny hole in the nozzle. I have a feeling this may have become blocked with crap from the gearbox over time. Gonna take it apart and see if I can clean it out...

    L
    So, fiddling with my L96... PDI hop chamber with R-Hop, or regular hop chamber, with Top Dead Centre mod, or regular chamber with R-Hop and Top Dead Centre mod?

    Look at car rental once, now every advert on every website is for car rental...

    Ehh, seems the M14 I want in the colour I want has now been removed from WGC and Red Wolf. Looks like I'll be getting a different version and then buying separate parts for it to make it the same...

    L
    Well that's brilliant. £50 for new car windscreen, then £300 for its MOT, and then £220 tax in August. Looks like I'm not going to be getting a new gun any time soon...

    How much are you getting insured for? If you dont mind letting on that is.

    Being killed by hayfever, because apparently seeing and breathing are two things I'm not allowed to do. Anyone recommend any good tablets, all the ones I've tried before have been awful.

    Same problem here dude, the Sainsbury's ones are just terrible. Tried some last year which were quite good but I can't remember the name -_-

    Go to the doctors, I did & i now get ones from the chemist that are 10x the strength of the ones you can buy in shops, they work a treat :D

    Got a little tip, when confronted with friendly players asking what colour team you're on from 2m away, don't forget your team colour and tell them red, when you're on blue.

    I ended up getting shot in the face by my team mate, even though he recognised me by my voice and knew I was his team and had made a mistake.

    If in doubt, shoot first, ask questions later. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.

    I once had a chat with a dude at a night game because I walked square into the enemy base with so much ease that I couldn't believe everyone around me was an enemy.

    I shot one of the objective targets pretending I was testing my gun, melee killed the guy I'd been chatting with as soon as I made him give away which team he was on, then fucked off, proto xD

    The day before going urban, my L96 starts shooting really nicely, and my M16 starts playing up really badly. May have to use the pistol all day tomorrow...

    L
    As usual, doing last minute work on my L96 before tomorrow's skirmish. The air seal difference between the ASPUK and PDI hop units makes an 80 FPS difference apparently...

    L
    Kinda getting the idea that snipers are not worth the time, effort and money you put into them.

    Likewise.

    At the moment, I actually want to melt it down into a ball of metal and plastic, and then throw that at someone annoying.

    I'm actually considering selling it, along with all the spare parts. Got nearly 2 complete rifles, plus a spare set of internals in total.
