Or alternatively charging more and having less players. Approved player only games were always the best ones I went to. It wasn't that anyone, that I know of, was rejected it's just that everyone either knew everyone or everyonce one person (who was present) removed.

@Sacarathe long time no see. I swear you haven’t posted in a LONG time
Serial lurker. Haven't been able to play locally last 18 months due to illness and then covid hit and I live with ppl in their 60s. So no soft for a long time now methinks.

Well if it hits your lower mesh it's going to go through it... same with mesh eye pro.
Unlikely to be at a velocity that is dangerous however impurities or dirt in the projectile could be carried through. I know they use mesh in AUS but there is a huge difference between being hit by a projectile you expect and one that you've not prepared for. Like Nerf I suspect that these would be compatible with airsoft sites but not necessarily players without explicit consent.

Retailers may be making an active decision, ignoring or just being ignorant.
Gel blasters are quite an unknown commodity.
Although what you wrote here is interesting, they are definitely IFs and RIFs. An IF can be solid wood... My point was that the sellers that I found here are deliberately avoiding the truth. I wasn't able to find any seller of the blasters in the calibre of quality used in AUS though.

Has anyone experience with these 'blasters'? In the UK.
QuoteFirst introduced in China as an airsoft substitute (as airsoft is banned in Mainland) and as a better alternative to foam dart guns, gel blasters have become increasingly popular in regions with airsoft-unfriendly laws such as...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_ball_shooter
Within the English speaking world they seem to be most popular in Australia. They fire the gel beads you find in garden centres that are typically 7-8mm and 98% water. Supposedly they can use magnus effect and youtube has plenty of gameplay videos. I was musing that the frangible ammo that these fire might be more fun than nerf with children for prone target shooting in the garden. The most interesting thing I found out in this country is that surprise suprise retailers claim they're not IF and amazon still sells RIFS.
So far most of those I've found for sale in the UK are equivelant to a justbbguns special. In AUS they're as expensive as airsoft or paintball. From what I can discern they fire at about 0.6J stock and their common 7-8mm ammo weights are .17g though .24g. Internally they're airsoft. https://youtu.be/HAqjwgPxMfw?t=261

I just spent 1.7k on PC components and I am just thinking about how much airsoft stuff I could have bought 😥
All the shiny stuff 😭
Did anyone else read that as platecarrier?

So since I have an Odin sidewinder speedloader, and a newly acquired Scorpion Evo... I ran into a bb loading problem because well... scorpion evo mags dont fit an m4 magwell (shock, horror, i know)
so it only really made logical sense to spend a further load of cash on an Odin adapter for the evo mags, and hope it works well, instead of just buying a cheap plunger loader 😂
next up will be pouches for the mags I guess.
Where did you order this from? I've been looking to pick one up.
I found one for sale (via the bingo airsoft site) but the sites it linked to required registration to read the postage costs.
I feel sad buying a £60 speed loader and then needing a £40 adaptor though.

I am seeing the same on PC if I check Sacarathes profile. Could be a quirk of being pulled out of archiving and the indexed for the unread content stream. Any thread over 4 years old gets archived, but on a database level that doesn't actually do a huge amount so it shouldn't cause any issues.
Not something I've seen before.
Then again though, that text didn't come from nowhere. Did you perhaps edit that post almost immediately, Sacarathe?
A few weeks back I was lightly chewed out for for a 4m necro post. I thought I'd preempt that when choosing to post in the most constructive land warrior thread I could find, which was also the most recent one.
As misterG has now noticed (I did not set out to create intrigue), all that's happening is that I posted the second line in a white font so that I could be acknowledging the necro but only anyone that might criticise me for it (by quoting) would actually notice it.
I had no idea that it would appear in black somewhere else.

The wording on th Activity page was different than the wording when I opened the post.
Ah, I see. I guess it's time to summon the admin and complain that it's not showing up the post correctly on the activity page. Difficulty to stay coy here without being obnoxious (I hope you appreciate the humour when you figure it out), I would suggest you look more closely (by highlight or quote) at my post.
And then go to land warrior and admire the goodies. My favourite airsoft store by a long margin.

Just noticed a sale on 10% off for next 7 days.
How long before someone call's on the necro?

I don't see any lengths on the link.
This is what I would suggest you measure on your belt.
Exactly 30 inches.

I think he wants to know the length of the molle section of the belts, so would jsut be a question of measuring yours.
E.g. if he could take a 110 waist, he could wear any of the belts, but if the molle on the large was much longer than the small it would wrap round to the front so he could have pouches at the front, rather than them being on the sides.
Cheers
GI'm happy to do the measurement (though unclear on what - the webbing itself?), but I don't understand how the pictures I linked are less useful.

I checked the size chart for the Flyye belt and was rather surprised by the latitude in their measurements:
Size: S (83cm - 127cm waistline)
Size: M (96cm - 134cm waistline)
Size: L (104cm - 163cm waistline)Not sure what to make of those numbers. Obviously the molle belt must come with an inner belt and the lengths refer to the inner belt. This doesn't give you any idea of the length of the padded molle section.
I prefer the molle sectiont to come right around to the front, not end at the hips on each side.
I don't know if you are still about Sacarathe but if you are could you tell me if the Flyye belts have long or short padded molle areas. What size of belt did you get. I had decided on a Condor because their molle section tends to be longer than many of the others. But if the Flyye is also long I might change my mind.
http://www.flyyeindustries.com/ArticleShow.asp?ProdID=0643
This is the one I have. I don't know of any information other than that listed here. As you can see the belt is very long, I weaved it back through the battlebelt to reduce the excess at the front.

If I was to buy two tone pistol and the slide was worn and I wanted to buy a replacement, would it be illegal if I brought a black slide replacement or would I need to get it with a two tone finish?
It would not be 'illegal' for you to buy the black part, only against that law if you were to fit it to the gun without a defence. If someone else with (or without depending upon how you read greater firearms law) a defence put it back together you would be in the clear - so long as there was no quid pro quo (exchange).
Else every time I take my TM G17 slide off I'd be manufacturing a RIF to put it back together and that would be silly.

This is not true. Substantially not true.
On 03/08/2017 at 4:30 PM, Prisce said:but
I thinkafter purchasing it you can make adjustments as you see fit.I don't mean to be rude, but not only is this also not true but its very misleading, if you purchase a RIF, you are only able to convert it (relevantly speaking from IF to RIF in terms of manufacturing a RIF) if you are 'still' eligible to purchase a RIF.
If I buy a RIF when I am eligible, and if I at some point become ineligible (widely accepted to mean having not played a any insured UK airsoft site for a period of 12 months) I would lose my eligibility to also modify that article or any other article (a'la manufacturing a RIF) until my eligibility to purchase was restored.
This is still true of an IF - buying (or eligibility to) a RIF doesn't give you carte blanche to convert your old IFs into RIFs.
And in fact manufacturing is a far more dangerous offence than sale because sale places onus on retailers, whereas manufacturing attacks the little guy.
On 03/08/2017 at 4:30 PM, Prisce said:On the other hand, modifying it may be classed as manufacturing a RIF, without proper cause, which again is illegal.
If a person is eligible to purchase a RIF, they are eligible to "manufacture a RIF". This is not grey, it's black and white.
In fact, they are eligible to manufacture a RIF from parts they do not own - on behalf (if acting without remuneration/contract) of a person ineligible to do the same.

Gopro and some mounts for airsoft use.
Picatinny rail mount for my pistols,rifles and for attaching to my molle rail.
Just waiting on for a clip on screen protector that will stop a airsoft BB to come.
While an airsoft BB can break the case, the gopro wont get damaged.
That being said, the LCD on my gopro broke during airsoft, but the camera is fine.

Are these custom machined or just cosmetic?

Depends where you're travelling through, policeman isn't going to be too chuffed with a "gun" primed with power in a bag with loaded magazines. At least not here.

0.25's at the moment, but general consensus is go for the 0.28's I think. Finding stock at a decent price is the issue.
I'd be interested how that turns out for you, my mags wont feed .3g.

Best buy I've made by a country mile - shoots true, very light, good range, good ROF, oh and it looks fine too!
Highly recommend it.
What BB weight do you use in it?

Sounds like they might have been better going with one hi-cap for all and no reloading. You'd think people wanting to attend something like that could at least manage to just buy 40rnd mags.
