That's why i always run into where the grenade came from if no immediate cover to hand. No-one seems to expect it and have often slaughtered whole queues of opp waiting to go through the door

Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Colonel Kurtz replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
yeah and not just the barrel, buying gun featuring 'top-tech' internals and then replacing them !?! i suppose he wasn't sensible enough to wait 3 months to buy the thing. anything that costs more than £150 is a crying shame to two-tone. -

Yeah defiantly the largest, and the animals in them (cattle mostly) being one of (possibly the most cant remember) biggest greenhouse effect contributors. Friend of mine just left a job for an up-coming Chinese owned mine in Africa where they're buldozing forest and ghettos to make it happen, and it's producing lots of rare metals used in computers so brought it to mind (he left when they started talking about bull-dozing the neighboring shanty town as his job was then to design what would be built in it's place, didn't care about the trees/wildlife tho, i have reported him to Bono) But back on topic; http://forums.zeroin.co.uk/showthread.php?259921-G-amp-G-TR4-CQB-S-Two-Tone-Highly-Modified-Internals Two-toned G&G M4 for £400! -
I used to have some floor space in my room once, now it's a pile of gun cases and misc bits and tools carelessly balanced on top, well one end of it anyways, the other has a pile of rest of my hobbies equip/stuff. Daren't risk leaving anything around the house, or something will get knocked over and vacuumed up! I have a tray so usually tinker with stuff with that on my lap and rest of gun spread across the bed.

^ this, 4 extra mags and the charger a definite plus, although kudos to you if you manage to use more than a couple hicaps in one game

Good servicing! Out of interest what does 350fps with 0.3g bb equate to with 0.2g?

If you do google it just don't take the laptop into Dixons to fix afterwards

I think gear doesn't make a big diff if it's static woodland play with people mostly hiding behind trees. You have the space, lack of distraction and movement to ensure you're aware you've been hit and then it's a conscious choice. Any keen snipers out there will probably beg to differ, and fully appreciate that if people aren't aware they're under attack from a direction then clothing can be a huge hindrance to them feeling a hit. However CQB at places like The Mall, there's far too much noise, chaos and far too much running around. Often have issues with people in all the gear not feeling hits. It happens when they're stood still, but that's mostly due to me shooting them on the edges of their person due to them being to big in said outfit to fully fit/hide behind things, or me shooting them from a direction they're not paying attention to, and it hitting any part of the clothing/kit too thick to instantly feel pain from, then it takes several hits to get their attention. The main time people in lots of gear seem to universally not feel hits is when they're running/jogging, the whole setup is bashing against them and making so much noise/friction against the skin they can't tell if a 6mm plastic ball hit them or not unless you hit them many times or get a lucky shot in an Achilles heal of the outfit. I think for anyone it can be hard to feel a hit when you're running, it's just having a thick pile of clothing on definitely significantly reduces your odds of an already tough thing to notice. The only solution i found to this is overkill, anyone running gets a total peppering until they stop and raise their hand, you can tell when someone has felt the hit and is in the process of doing so, so i try not to be too brutal. This is when I mainly get the added ROF use out of my high-cycle TM's, spraying people dashing between doorways. I don't think I've seen a single person in full combat gear take the hit based on the first BB that hit them while they're jogging/running, it takes the noise or pain from a burst of full-auto. I don't want to have to waste time firing half a dozen shots at someone for them to feel it, in all the common scenarios mentioned above, this extra time spent shooting them more than once is usually what results in me being shot, either by their immediate team-mates or by someone in another group who's attention i just gained. What really fucks me off is when i've snuck into a room with a bunch of guys, then i only have time to give them one or two shots each before they can turn and fire back. Every single damn time one of them wont feel it because I've hit their PC or similar, and will shoot back at me as they only heard the noise of me firing. Then i have to take the hit and my act of sneaky awesomeness denied, because trying to argue 'no you were already hit' is generally pointless. Sometimes if I'm trying to rush through somewhere I don't take the hit due to them already being hit, but then I'm left feeling dirty like i cheated from their repeated glances to see if i was taking the hit or not... I don't think there's anything to be done about it, shouldn't ban plate carriers and the like or anything, everyone needs to carry their mags around somehow. Just wish people were more self-aware and if they have enough experiences of not noticing they were hit then that they were prepared to look for lighter alternatives like a belt and only carrying enough kit to last one game rather than a nuclear apocalypse

Colonel Kurtz replied to ShadowSniper's topic in Off-Topic Discussion
I heard tales that someone created a forum/facebook sh*t-storm about The Mall once when one of the staff referred to something as 'being bit gay' in a safety brief. I suppose by those standards if i decided the word 'straight' only had one meaning/context; my sexual preference, then I could find all sorts of things offensive! I could take offence to people calling something straight-edged? How dare they indirectly infer my sexual preference is something conventional/sensible or sober, I f*cked a crazy fat chick in a field while drunk and dressed as batman once... I could take offense to someone referring to a trajectory as straight; how dare they indirectly suggest my sexuality extends or moves uniformly in one direction only, without a curve or bend! I'm not married so still trying direct my sexuality to as many women as possible, and as for no curve have they not seen the implement I'm trying to extend into these women!!! In summary the OP question suggests the idea that there is some kind of universal standard for what is offensive/phobic, I find that idea offensive -
Was that to team-mates and you frivolously using team supplies or were you aiding and abetting the enemy?

I got it for the single-shot only 2nd half of the skirmish day at The Mall, when there's no point dragging 3-4kg of full-auto AEG around for. I find gas pistols a pain in the ass so was going to get an AEP like the marui g18, but then realized this was essentially the ultimate AEP, sharing many components with said marui g18. So I talked about getting one, then stumbled across one here 2nd hand and snapped it up. Not realizing my mates had gone and bought me a new one for my birthday. So now I have 2 MP7 and a wish blind-fire rules weren't quite so strict so I could enjoy an action-hero moment or two I filled the 2nd hand one with laylax internals and a custom spring, but still having issues with fps consistency. I'm told i need to fire a few thousand rounds through it for it to break in the spring and let it all settle before i start worrying about what else is causing the inconsistency (between 270 and 310 fps)... I'll see, might be me not sealing things properly, was a total bitch of a little fiddly gearbox to mess with, certainly straight in the deep-end for me with it being first gearbox i'd replaced internals for.

It's a Laylax grip for MP7 & RIS. Don't think it's quite made it over here yet. I broke the hop-up when swapping the barrel (screw too tight and dial/wheel snapped) and only replacement i could find was off a japanese website. This was the first result under an 'MP7 search' there and listed as a new product. I figured it'd be more comfortable and stop the 'i'm gonna snap it off' paranoia the stock folding grip seemed to inspire in me. Certainly is more comfortable, but it's still v small gun and the angle you hold it at means i found my sleeve caught on the torch i put on the left side-rail few times.

I find the toilets in the nearest McDonalds in a higher state of hygiene. Although i dare not eat their filth until lunch at the earliest, in case it all goes Highlander and i suffer 'The Quickening'

Be hard to draw the line, even if you said nothing above retail value, it'd just turn every £200+ M4 sale into a big argument of the OP listing every single little bit they replaced for 30-50 a time. Agree that you just have to leave people to make their own mistakes or apply their own sense of worth. Zero In should let people reply to sales threads perhaps, think over here the current rules, monty's eagle eyes and occasional troll back-up does the required job swimmingly

Airsoft relies on people taking their hits, otherwise it'd devolve into a sadomasochistic event where people just shoot each other until someone uses the safety-word or has to change their underpants. In my experience, everyone who plays airsoft regularly has the right idea about taking hits and how to behave in their mind. However, many people aren't used to adrenaline, or any shade of combat, and many people can behave in a manner they're hopefully embarrassed about once the juices get going. People can get trapped in the moment, and the most common kind of non-hit-taking i witness is those who don't acknowledge the hit until their current purpose has been completed (like the person they're shooting at taking the hit). Then the logic side of the brain takes back over from caveman and order ensues. There's nothing airsoft can do to stamp it out other than turning it into laser-quest, or making everyone use tracers, or have 1 marshal per person like in some those mental Japanese tournaments I've seen online. The best thing the community can do is to make the process of taking the hit seem easier and more enjoyable. This is achieved by all those good-sporting types who congratulate people when hit and cheerfully skip back to re-spawn. Kudos to you all, I try, but sometimes barely able to squeak 'hit' let alone any kind of congrats (the arm goes up with a raised thumb on reflex now, I've beaten the paintball urge to check my clothing for marks finally hehe)

Yeah why are airsoft site toilets always the most befouled. I get public transport all the time, and am working for an Arab company during Ramadan, but still nothing breaks the Geneva convention like airsoft-site toilets. Maybe someone here will admit to not bothering to cook their food for a week before skirmish or similar

guessing you've tried the email and form on their website: http://www.ukara.org.uk/contact.php good luck getting hold of them!

Yeah they've spent it all on micro-transactions, should have ransomed him into gifting me something on Steam instead

Absolutely nothing wrong with this one's asking price, but using an iPad to display your name rather than write it on a piece of paper... I dunno, I can't think of reason why that's wrong but makes me feel ashamed to be middle-class http://forums.zeroin.co.uk/showthread.php?256257-TM-Steel-Wood-AK74
