Hi you’ll be pleased to hear knowone argues on here https://discord.gg/thesiegeproject
Nah I like the lively discussions that happen on here. Sometimes you learn something,sometimes you just get to laugh at an hysterical idiot. Either way all good.
Didn't read the whole thread but will say on the hpa thing you are right and wrong. The day warming up will effect fps on airsoft guns as hot air is less dense so you get less drag but not enough to really have much of an affect on a 6mm fraction of a gram spherical ball. Especially when you take into account that the colder air in the morning will be denser which leads to a better push, but again so negligble that it makes a difference that is way below standard fps variation on any airsoft gun. The medium used for hpa is the same as aeg so the outcome would be the same as hpa so limiting only one makes no sense.
The only real argument is gbb as they can climb up in fps from a cold morning to warm aftenoon hugely as the medium used for propulsion reacts to temperature change far more than air.
So people on here are correct the rule is kind of pointless but as it's your site your rules are your choice and if people have an issue then no one forces them to go there.

One chance because if they didn't test it and gave you back a fucked gun then they are useless.
Too many people call themselves techs and are really nothing more than monkeys with an allen key who got all their experience from watching youtube.
To be honest most people in airsoft who call themselves techs are actually just the equivalent of me folding up a bit of paper into an aeroplane shape chucking it 3ft across the living room and proclaiming I am a pilot.

Terminal List gets better, stick with it for a couple of episodes and it all starts to come together.
& yeah, Chris Evans was a nutter, even his dress sense was mental lol
Will do just too busy and lots to watch in my limited time that seem better. Been trying to watch season 3 of westworld for over a year and still on episode 4 because time to watch and concentrate properly is rare and my phone gets used more than my TV as I tend to be doing something else at the same time.

I think one thing we're all in agreement about, whether in the UK or USA, no matter what actions our respective governments do, or are considering to do against airsofters/real steel or any other gun shaped hobby the simple truth is for those who want firearms for criminal or murderous intent, they'll get them, or in the case of the Japanese assassin, make them.
Agreed but some places make it far to easy which is why some places count gun related murders in the 10s and others in the 10s of thousands.

Yep, both were imho very good, can't see us getting a second season of the Terminal List 😟, but I'm hopeful about S2 of Reacher, there's enough books to choose from, for some reason the wife really enjoyed it too, I can't think why 🤔💪
Watched the Gray Man over on Netflix last night, pretty good, kinda Bourne/Wick lovechild
Reacher was good, far better than the films.
Terminal list I turned off after 10 minutes but might try again when winter comes and I can't find anything better to do.
Gray man was actually quite good, totally ridiculous but made me chuckle a lot and Chris Evans stole the whole movie.

Which is why I've been very careful to talk about shotgun certificates. Very few people here choose to get one, but very few people couldn't.
No, how many?
I guess that depends on whether you consider Brazil and Mexico to be civilised or savage.
In any case, I'm not arguing that point. If I could Thanos-snap away all guns, everywhere, forever, I'd do it (to howls of approval from lions and tigers and bears, oh my).
Given that I can't, I'm more interested in a dispassionate comparison of the systems. To be very clear, I'm not arguing in favour of the US situation, or its system. I'm more concerned with ours, and how it demonstrably doesn't stop wrong 'uns from getting shooters.
It's actually surprising that more career criminals don't get their hands on shotguns here, directly or through a mule. Perhaps they think that it's harder than it is.
Shotguns are not as easy to get hold of as you think there is still a lot of requirements and it takes up to 8 weeks to get licence and selling the shotgun on is not so as simple as selling a gun privately in the US.

As for how many pass the background check incorrectly which trukinthumper correctly pointed out isn't even a licence, quite a few.

Now I know ABC news is just another untrustworthy media outlet but there is a link there to the actual report.
And I dont believe everything the american media says as like all media companies they lie, but the morgues don't.

It's cromulent because shotgun certs remain shall issue here. I got one back in the day for black powder musketry and powder storage. As it turns out, I never even bought a bang-tube, but it was trivial to get the cert, and once you've got it, you can - quite literally - load for bear.
I'd venture to suggest that if we're talking systems then the Murcan Federal background check actually provides more control and gatekeeping than the UK system, if you're mentally minded and willing to play to win. It's really more a cultural issue: our most recent mass shooter was an immigrant from the Western Colony, who viewed shooter ownership as normal rather than an aberration.
Nope sorry you are trying to claw at facts to make them fit your point.
A section 1 firearms licence is far harder to get over here than a gun licence in america. Do you know how many people pass checks that shouldn't over there. Also the private sales of guns is massive loophole in the US. The fact that there are so many guns and millions of those have been sold on without checks or conveniently been misplaced means that there are a glut of weapons able to fall into the wrong hands. Do you know how many people in america own handguns for protection solely because the criminals have them so they feel the need to own one too. The failure of adequate checks and a seriously unregulated aftersale market helps create the circular logic of ownership. It is partly cultural but mainly just a vicious circle started because it is too easy for weopons to be in the hands of scumbags.
It is no coincidence that the country with the highest amount of guns also has the highest amount of gun related crime in the civilised world.

guys, dude's new to this place, tempting as it is we don't need to jump straight on him just for being from a country with a different take on civilian firearm ownership.
@truckinthumper don't take it personally, as i'm sure you can understand American firearm culture is as confusing and controversial to us as i'm sure British firearm culture is to you.
Not jumping on him just jumping on american gun culture and how they have lost control of it.
Not against gun ownership as if I lived in America I would no doubt be a gun owner. But I am against how bad the gun control is over there, too easy for nutters to get hold of guns.

As for personal pronouns, we are "encouraged" to put them in our work email signatures; this does make sense as many of the people that we deal with on a day to day basis are from Asian cultures and are uncertain as to whether some European names are male or female. If that was the reason we were "encouraged" to use them, I would not mind too much; however, the stated reason was about ensuring that the very small minority of gender-fluid people in the organisation could be addressed by their chosen pronoun.
There are only 3 pronoun sets of worth
1: He/him
2: She/her
3: It/fuckin really

I do, but not as often as I'd like, I'm hoping to get my left knee replaced fairly soon, then the right as soon it can be, plus I'm being treated for prostate cancer, but again I'm hoping to complete treatment fairly soon, prognosis is good so far, & then all I've got to do is lose some timber & improve the fitness, & it's game on.
LOL, Sounds easy when your typing it out😉
Fucking hell just be glad you are getting out at all, if you were a horse you would already be mincemeat in the pet food factory.
Seriously though best of luck with all the health issues buddy and good to see you are keeping your chin up.

Interesting, Vortex offer a lifetime warranty and from what i've read including damage? I've seen recommendations for some caps - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294273163040?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dbeb1c235c99f47989109a3f884496dc1%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D354170338803%26itm%3D294273163040%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Ad74fb729-0671-11ed-ac11-12eb31
Vortex do offer a good warranty but that still means that you have to send it away and wait for it to be repaired or replaced, generally not too bad on that but some people have waited ages.
Vortex are very good for the price and you won't regret it but for airsoft you don't have to pay that price unless you really want to. It is a personal choice thing, me personally I always buy the best but then I am a dumbfuck when it comes to money.
Be careful on the sight covers as a lot use a really cheap polycarb or even an acrylic that can go cloudy in the sun pretty quick. Also seen a fair few claim to be poly but have been acrylic and when hit they shatter and the lens on the sight still gets damaged.

Yes, forgive me for trying to make a humorous comment, especially as this forum and indeed this hobby, is well known for its lack of humour.
Sorry but on a post where it is what is probably a newish player is asking for guidance it reads more as a bit of an elitist mockery comment than a humorous one.

Couple of things.
DMR and Sniper are quite different roles. With a sniper rifle you'll be well in excess of 1J so MED will apply.
Doesn't have to be over 1j as there are plenty of lower powered sniper rifles that can still give ok-ish range. Fps is important but still only part of the story.

Hi there I'm looking for an accurate DMR/SNIPER rifle that I can use with no minimum engagement distance, ideally semi automatic. can anyone recommend anything?
Thanks in advance
Have a look on Facebook at some of the sniper groups. You will get better info on there from people who run or build low fps sniper riflers and dmr's with shockingly less snarky comments than you have already got on here.

Vortex are good optics but you can get clone red dots that will be totally fine for airsoft pretty cheap on ebay. Distances are short, there is no recoil to throw the sight off zero and they regularly get shot out so expensive sights are really more for bragging rights than anything.

Have fun 😁
13 is perfect age to start out. Kids get more out of it, play with much more enthusiasm and in my experience cheat less than the older players.

Look at the sky rc t200 instead of the t100 if you want to charge single cell. It is rated 1 to 6 cell. It is the charger I currently use as I need to charge 3.7 receiver packs and 3s and 6s rc batteries.

I reckon well over half of the b6 chargers out there are fake and therefore everything about them is dodgy.
Try a skyrc t100

Some of us considered this years ago and decided in the end that unless it is head mounted you would miss most things. There were some good plus points made but in the end it seemed too much hassle.
If any site wants to run it though then I see no problem as it could help protect players and staff, altercations between marshalls and players do happen so I can see the use there. I know a couple of times there was some he said she said moments that it could of helped clear up.
