Containing only a whistle and a piece of paper "blow in emergency"?

To what parameters?

Why do Devil Blasters cost more than Regular Blasters of the same weight?

You can't honestly think the other topics you started are acceptable, clearly you've not read the rules, Rule 4. http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/30416-new-classic-army-km10-black/#entry235586 http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/30415-new-ares-m4a1-tan/#entry235585 http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/30414-new-ares-tar21-black/#entry235584 http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/30322-second-hand-gbb-mp9-tan/#entry234782 - still not acceptable.

Black guns lol.

I would hope all airsoft sites have ironclad directions to give to emergency services.

Indeed. Guess they had stopped paying at some point. But who could have deleted them?

I must sound like a broken record here, lol. But are you sure you cant?

Factually incorrect, the disease that caused the black death still exists outside a laboratory.

If we encourage people to break the law, defence or not, we encourage the law to take a closer look at the sport, at a time when a relevant Bill is in parliament is a poor time to go telling people these things. Yes, UKARA is an expected [effective] defence and yes being an 'airsoft player' should be a sufficient [defence/reasonable excuse] to manufacture a realistic IF, but neither you nor I are qualified to say that it will be. http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules Read this. Technically[actually] having a belief that you have an applicable defence does not make illegal conduct legal, thus you're breaking the forum rules by categorically stating what the police will [in your opinion] do, in relation to an offence you're suggesting to be meaningless. Many of us comment that being an airsofter should theoretically be [enough of a defence], but UKARA saved the sport, don't be the one to encourage the first airsofter to try the law in court and lose.

Think I broke my report post button. :S

L2Read. Tell us more about yourself, whats your favourite colour, are you a girl, what's your favourite TV show, what star sign are you, where are you from, is god real, favourite music, favourite food, favourite sport, favourite book, how tall are you, do you like to run or camp.... Can't just make recommendations without knowing a little about you; jeez! I'd suggest increasing your budget by £30.

I can't.

Law abiding citizens won't have a problem with others circumventing those laws(?)... to merit quicker gains. I call BS!

Just wondered about others' experiences. While it's mostly a question of proximity, I've got 7 airsoft sites within 1.5 hours train journey that I cannot reach before 9:40 am at weekends. I'm not bitter, just wondered how relevant my situation was.

Nice, well to be fair, I just used "psychology" as a substitute for a more meaningful explanation or elaboration on what I referred to. Nevertheless, you always get a survey proofed by a few people before letting them loose on the world, nothing is worse than having to retract one and ask the existing respondents to re-do it. It doesn't hurt to answer your own survey 10+ times yourself using RNG and see if you get usable data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_methodology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questionnaire_construction

I don't mean to chew on you specifically, it's just that surveys are soo often underutilised and if you say nothing people will continue to draw conclusions off bad data. You cannot make bad data good after the fact, and even with lots of respondents, bad questions can spoil all the results. If you think you can run a business you can spend 2 hours on survey psychology.

In that regard, this forum's tendency to shorten URLs makes us all vulnerable. Surveys can be useful gathering tools, but other than those by PHD students every other online survey for the purposes of genuine research, rather than polling a question to a select community has been a waste of my time just by the way the questions are written, the one by the OP is no exception, almost all the questions are useless, even question 6 shows a clear disconnect between the author and the airsoft community. When making a survey the first order of business should be "how can I make a survey work for me?" not "and my questions will be". Examples: It's been my experience that 4% or less of airsoft players are female, so why bother asking? Airsoft players go from age 13 and up, and over age 50 under age 70 is not unusual yet the author apparently does not know this, don't give away your own ineptitude in your questions by making basic assumptions poorly. For airsoft sites, question 5 here. Its location location location, and that's of the venue, and of the venue in of itself. The mall for example is a good location, and it's in a good location (next to a large rail hub). Any site can be a good site, the players and the staff making it a good site, neither of these can be improved based on a poll so i'm glad you didn't include those as options, but as your Q5 answers were not alphabetical this betrays the authors processes AGAIN. For question 4, use "up to".

I doubt you'll find any airsofter that won't agree that £5 per hour, excluding game and safety briefings is expensive. You should change your game time question to 240. I can't see how any of the questions other than six (I agree with jedi, nothing) could possibly give you any useful data. As for reserving places, just do email, and don't bother asking or catering for alternatives, don't use social media, it's amateurish and appears lazy. On question 5, public transport links or affordably ferrying to those links is important to me, and would make a huge difference. I've I identified 8 airsoft sites I can get to within 4km on public transport, but which I cannot reach without taxis - which are always too expensive. For that question (5) you should be asking "what makes you return to sites" - but if you don't know already, can't see a quiz helping you.

Have you tried using your fingers? I have a G&G hop with a wheel and I find the plastic on mine is stronger than my finger nails too. Furthermore, have you had the barrel/hop out of the reciver and tried to change it, even if you replace it you've still got to have it out, might as well find out before you buy stuff.

TBH, unless your local sites don't support simplified UKARA registration (ie they don't stamp forms) its all moot, your dad can get on the database in due course, his past games will count as long as the site has proof he's played before. As long as he's handing over the cash at the point of sale, you'll be fine. It's not UKARA that prevents children buying imitation firearms its the Law and though they could refuse to sell to you (they'll be thinking better we get the money than some cowboy outfit), airsoft is not taken nearly as serious as airguns and real guns by anyone close to it, and that's very unlikely.

Nuprol glock holster is good, has molle option too, never lost the pistol nor the holster (both paddle or molle) while playing. Plus the nuprol one is designed for airsoft dimensions.

Haha, no I meant that I was asking what it is that "manning up" would look like in this context (as a question). I felt i'd already manned up plenty already. Posting this in an open thread is a fairly big deal to me, as it could have been extremely poorly received. And in that regard was prepared to leave.
