Because he likes giving away free mags to the chavs at his local cqb site maybe? To the op- As someone who prefers cqb trust me no one other than the retards who think they look tacticool drop their mags on the floor. Good players have big pockets or dump pouches because no one looks more stupid than Spec ops Jimmy wandering around looking for all the mags he lost so he can play the next game.

I wouldn't say only people who are wrong as that seems a bit of a fanboyish statement. He is a genuinely decent guy who prefers to get on with people but sometimes offends because he has a busted filter on occasion. Whether that is him or just people being a bit thin skinned is up to individual interpretation. Correct he has always previously worked outside of airsoft teching but not sure if Negative has gone full time for him now as it has taken off very well. He is generous as you put it because he doesn't try to rip people off, he charges a fair hourly rate and only does what is required rather than adding unnecessary sparkly bits to take advantage of customers. I will always say that while he is a decent tech his best tool is that fact he actually gives a shit about the customer not just the money.

Because he is a marmite person and the way he is can get under certain peoples skin. Most people with a big personality have as many haters as fans, price of not being totally bland. One doesn't have to be exclusive from the other but they are rare as most airsoft "techs" are dim witted monkeys who try to earn a living from their hobby as they can't make it in a real job.

Reading through the thread I can't see anywhere you have been like that and I am an expert on being offensive and confrontational. So if anyone is offended then fuck them and their precious souls.

Standard 144a is okay but can be too weak on a gun that is binding somewhere and can cause issues with the slide. Maintenance is full of lube and is not really designed for actual firing. Nuprol 2.0 would be fine and is ok in all but the really old tm pistols. Most times people claim that standard green gas knackered their guns they leave out the half a dozen times they dropped it which weakened something in the first place.

Actually most airsofters and even techs will offer advice and more, I have done hundreds of hours of free work to help people out because that is the way the community is for the most part. The general camaraderie in the community is second to none. Most techs will inwardly groan and back away once they hear the issue is because you messed with it without having a clue and fucked it up though. Generosity only goes so far and while helping the unfortunate is good for karma helping those who brought in on themselves is another form of karma. Don't use maintenance gas for anything other than maintenance and dry firing is fine.

This sort of holster is pretty good if yours doesn't work out. Retention but able to pull very quickly when needed. https://ukmcpro.co.uk/products/imi-defense-polymer-retention-paddle-holster-level-2

But people are less likely to sell an airsoft gun improperly if there is a paper trail of ownership. Most guns used in crimes won't be legally obtained.

Of course restrictions on ownership would help as if ownership requires registration then people can't sell them through the free ads and if they did and it was used in a crime it would traceable. Comparing our gun control issues to to america doesn't quite work as guns over here are still relatively rare compared to the USA. Of course people could still modify a real one to look fake but that would be rare as they want them to look real as intimidation is 90% of what they have them for. Nothing would stop the issues completely but if shit like this keeps happening then anything to lessen it is a step forward. The only ones to disagree are those so wrapped up in the toy soldier fantasy that the real world comes a distant second.

Maybe and that would suck but there is no way I can put a Sunday afternoon hobby ahead of the safety of the police. Maybe the fact I have a brother in the force makes me look at things differently but there it is. Maybe a registration and traceability scheme is really the way forward.

To be honest if people are using airsoft replicas to commit crimes and threatening police officers in the street and that leads to more legislation the so be it. Is peoples enjoyment more important than a firearms officers safety? He shouldn't have to decide whether the threat is credible and waste time and jeopardise his safety and that of others. If someone points a weapon at a police officer then bollocks to niceties he has just forfeited his life. I would rather play with a two tone or even a gun that bears no resemblance to a real gun than have one officer die because he hesitated on whether the gun was real.

As a taxpayer I wish they had just shot the pratt, a bullet and a funeral are cheaper than keeping these idiots in jail. It's not like morons are a protected species. More seriously though while the police did a good job descalating part of me as someone who has a brother on the job wonders should we really expect them to put themselves in harms way to do so. A police officer should expect to go home uninjured and alive and we the public should be behind that a 100% even if that means taking a harder line on those who are ultimately in the wrong. At the point someone threatens the life of an officer or member of the public with a weapon then as far as I am concerned their human rights go out the window. As for the American police I agree that better training would benefit but none of us can understand what it is like doing that job over there. The levels of violence towards the police over there in some areas is huge so you have to wonder after the crap they go through is it any wonder some lose respect for the job and the people they deal with. Not that that makes the actions of some right but maybe the actions of some more understandable. I would hope very few actually start the job without hoping to make a difference and just want to be bullies but if that is the case then they definitely need better screening.

Should just let it roll as this shit is what always made this forum better than the over moderated ones. Just wish I had seen it when jumping in would of still been fun.

Last thing I am interested in dressing like a speedsofter prefer just wearing jeans but those belts look very good.

Let me know how you get on with it as I have been considering one.

Rainbow 8 have them in stock

Finally someone found a use for all the surplus 90s whiteboy gangsta rap shell suits.

Doubt it my set up is built by JCI comms

Just get ready to talk to people about it every time you play

Fuck it then you soft shite you're beyond help order away. 😜 They are not a terrible idea to be fair just makes me think of how no one can just do anymore. Fuck I'm getting old.

Most mags with the wider slot for you to load the mag that way the follower has a little grooved piece that slides down easy with your thumb those that don't I put a small metal tab into the follower. The wider slot makes it easier to move with your thumb nail.

Nope on double stacks just widen the slot to 6.2mm with a cutter and load the really easy way. Never got why some mags come like and it others don't.

£60 that is very cheap. Yeah Frontiers are cheap and so are baofeng radios but the ptt between the two costs a fair amount.

For most people it probably isn't a big issue but when we are PMing our coms need to be perfect. My fist mic has lemo and 3.5 connections plus 2 transmit buttons and a mute so it is a busy little thing.

Used to get too much background noise pick up. Probably wouldn't be such a big issue outdoors but indoors it was a pain. Had it all modified so radio transmission was all through the fist mic. Me and another marshal had it done along with dual channel coms through JC before he really put the business out.
