    Heard at safety brief today - "Does anyone know how far 30m is? I've never used a sniper rifle before"... ?

    (I mean, at least he asked, but, you know...)

    "All the gear and no idea" epitomised. ?

    How many Licking Mustard patches was he wearing?

    He seemed nice enough chap, just inexperienced. My worry was more hearing that statement at a site that is mostly Rhododendron CQB with limited sightlines for sniping, so the possibility for below MED engagements seemed high.

    He was happy enough to listen to words of advice like "If you're not sure, don't shoot", so... benefit of the doubt. ?

    (I reserve the right to revise my opinion on this if I come back in 2 weeks having been domed from 5 metres)

    British Red Cross have a Ukraine appeal running if anyone felt like skipping playing war for a weekend and sending the green fee over there instead.

    If there's anybody who plays games, The publishers of This War of Mine are donating 100% of the proceeds for the next 7 days to the Ukrainian Red Cross. Doesn't matter what website you buy it from.

    Apparently I have now increased my rank to "Collaborator". Hopefully nobody's going to come round and shave my hair off as a result...

    My gun's accuracy increases on 11.1v. This makes *no* sense, but is absolutely true and 4 people saw it...

    Interesting to see if you ever figure this out!

    Back in the dim distant past when I changed from nimh And Tamiya to LiPo and Deans I noted then a very slight increase to FPS and range on my guns as did my team mates who changed over as well(4 of use did it around the same time) and general consensus was also that it could be down to the increase in speed of the piston in the chamber and the O ring creating a better seal .
    OR could also be a load of old testicles ? But hay it’s a win and any holes a goal ! ?

    So, the 11.1 did not have the same effect again. Guess we can put that down to coincidence.

    It did strip the piston though.

    So I rebuilt it.

    And then the stock snapped in half... (and the accuracy was still shit!).

    I'm thinking maybe I should stick to sniper rifles...

    My M249 gearbox has 9mm bushings. All the docs and sales pages say they're 8mm...

    Questioning sanity...

    Visited a new site today. Someone came up and said "15 years ago at Dragon Valley you shot me in the back of the head with an MP5".

    I feel there should be a statute of limitations on airsoft related injuries I've caused people...

    *Alleged* war crimes Jay, alleged.

    Also I seem to recall those photos have me in a suspicious beret and a large fake moustache, so it might not be quite the character reference I was hoping for...
