Do you know how it's performing now? No point trying those extra tweaks if the possible benefits are not more than a 20% increase. If you're already at person sized targets at 50m, consistency will be more valuable than increased range or accuracy. What BB weight are you using when not testing the FPS? If on .20s, get some .25 or .28 and some .30 or .32(33)s and check the gun is performing predictably and consistently (via this chart).

Awesome, how long have you been playing? You might get better value from a two tone rather than hiring, if you're sure you will like and play airsoft. There is no laws or rules regarding imitation firearms and gifts. There are many colours considered realistic, given you're only 15 and you've a long time to go before buying your own stuff i'd say have an adult in your family buy you a two tone gun in the £120-£160 range. G&G Combat Machines (CM16/18) look okay with two tone rails, grip and stock. If you're holding the gun, the grip is in your hand, the stock in your shoulder and the rails covered with accessories it really wont matter. And you will save your 'adult' a lot of pain, stress, and unease, over doing something perfectly legal. Plus, the costs of bringing that adult along, paying hire, you're looking at an expenditure i'd expect £50 per person per game, whereas just £200 up front for a gun with batteries/charger + magazines (go mid cap!) is much more economical. And you can resell the gun if you don't like airsoft later. UKARA and ownership are not related, only the 'sale of' is regulated. No one can tell you that you cannot possess or use any airsoft gun for airsoft on this basis.

Only <lowercase> okay? Perhaps i'll try elsewhere.

I joined arnies way back when I joined this forum, and while did not post sales here for a long time nor ever buy anything, I did give up trying to access arnies sales after 20 posts, everything I wrote was spamming and just for that purpose, in the end I left that forum altogether. I put minimum post counts in the proposal at the suggestion of another user, they were never in my original concepts for change, and I agree with your decision. EDIT: Don't know why this is the only issue I am defensive of. The fact is it was from previous feedback. Spose it's just an ironic coincidence that of all my proposals one I incorporated from others' suggestions is the one picked on and opposed most.

Whom is you? If this is directed at someone specific please elaborate on what "man up" means. EDIT (Few re-reads later): I'm not annoyed, would annoyed people try to help? I think not. This the only UK airsoft forum with regular posters, low proportion of non UK based posters, and unbiased moderators/policies. Thus, there is not anywhere else to go, best try to fix the concerns before they radiate into the minds of other users, the siege of general discussion, as you note on the layout, is down to a lack of imagination in users (over the last 5 months, strangely) on where posts might be most appropriate - and an obvious lack of browsing to see where similar topics are stashed. But with more sub-forums, there would not be a need to "imagine". And in all fairness PT247 if you knew how hard it was to get the admin's attention, I don't think anyone would doubt the "man up" factor on my part. Behind the scenes it's not an issue of no-one listens, its much more complex than that, put simply though, no one but the admin has the authority to change things, and he's been out of contact for a long long time, when I finally got his attention, he appears to have misunderstood (what I wanted, and why I wanted it) leaving us with no changes.

Your one what?

Please like this post if you agree with at least 51% of what you read in the post above. I will not be responding to feedback*, however hard that is. This is someone else's problem now. *Comments sure, but not feedback.

Here is a diagram of the site as it is now followed by the original proposal and a revised [minimised] proposal. Current: Original Proposal: Revised Proposal: Proposed rules updates: *Tiny transparency note: as part of my proposals I did also volunteer to implement them. EDIT: Think it's fair to assume you agree with 95% if you've now liked this post.

Unrelated to the recent influx from social media, for a long time this forum has been in quite some needs of some new sub-forums such as HPA, what gun should I get, safety gear, dedicated Q&A etc and an expansion to the overworked moderation team to hold back the tide of posts put in general discussion like this was /r/airsoft, enforce the rules on advertising and commercial sales, correct thread titles to actually be useful, move threads, regulate the sales forum rules, and stop the useless exploitative posts by commercial youtubers. And the rules on sales and commercial activity need updating while saying within the spirit of the original rules laid down by Devastator. A week ago I posted a forum restructuring proposal and some small changes to the forum rules in the supporters’ forum for the consideration of the moderation team. I had been trying to contact the root admin (devastator) to no avail since 15/06/15 about with improvements to this site. This week I decided I’d had enough and took steps to ensure the root admin communicated with the moderators - who stated he had been out of touch a long time. As it stands now this forum is unrecognisable from the clean resource which taught me so much. But when I finally got in touch with Devastator I received what felt like the equivalent of being laughed out of the room. I still think this site can be saved, but I’m not going to be the one to do it. I hope this post inspires others to ask for more. I attempted to have these changes implemented behind closed doors – privy to only the admin, supporters and moderators to avoid being dragged down into weeks of indecisive debate. Having seen this two days ago, I’ve been told by the Root admin that it’s not going to be done. Recently there has been much conduct on the part of us regulars which has been unwelcoming, but we’re not entirely to blame, the systems in place on this board are dated and not designed to cope and the volunteer moderators overworked.

I've tried to help improve this site, I've failed, in my opinion this website upon which this resourceful community I joined, and introduced me (and so many others) to airsoft, is no longer fit for purpose. Over the last 2 months i've felt like going elsewhere for my social airsoft fix, but there isn't anywhere quite like this place was. No complaints here, only suggestions.

Indeed, the only thing I have against two tones is the reduced resale value, which ironically doesnt matter because of the drastically increased number of available buyers. I saw a post somewhere today where RIF was used when it should have been IF or just gun and I couldn't believe it. Sad thing is that while i've no doubt these are genuine players, i'm seeing a cultural shift to glorifying air soft which I previously never saw. I want to say "chaps, airsoft predates the VCRA!"

Seeing "rif" and "RIF" a lot more on this forum recently. IMO airsoft gun first, IF second, RIF third.

@OP Scan even do special installation insurance at 5% product value for 30 days(i think), and if you're the one at fault damaging something they replace it. One thing I don't like about it was that for my last pc I had to do two orders to get scansure only on the processor/mobo and not on everything, but with free delivery it didn't matter.

Non of the retailers I checked seem to think it matters, its weird.

I like scan because of the transparency, from them, you know exactly what you're getting and how much you're paying for labour.

Anyone got the TRMR dimensions?

Yes, accessibility is a factor, join facebook and you have access to many resources, and all those sites with "login with facebook".

Really ought to have considered what your other topics might do for your credibility before asking this.

Yes and no. The cheap brands are very well spread from useless (note context for useless = as compared to real kit) to surpassing the bottom of real steel. Don't buy condor/viper (unless the others don't make the item) - or anything from a retailer that started out in airsoft. One thing that really bugs me is the prices on flyye, pantac and others in the UK being so marked up against condor/viper, yet in asia they're all priced the same for import. All caps topic mirroring the name of the forum. Click use full editor while editing the first post.

You again. Did I mean "cheap" or "best"? EDIT: I meant best.

According to whom.

Lol, off the back of question 4 and wasting our time with this other thread, someone call a mod. Not to mention other 2 threads he posted today.

I guess there's no treat others' how you would like to be treated in airsoft. I find strobe is more of a "I'M OVER HERE" than "I'll blind you I will!" I've bought two cheap flashlights for airsoft and the only thing I don't like about them is that they always strobe if you don't press the light switch for long enough - I don't bloody need rescuing in the basement of a shopping centre!
