  1. Why do people new to airsoft so often not know the difference between Noob/N00b and Newb.

      So a newb is someone who is new so doesn't know anything and the two other ones just don't know anything?

    3. Jedi_Master

      Urban dictionary -Newb is Someone who is new to the activity that they are currently partaking in. Very often this term is used pertaining to computer games. Contrary to popular belief, a newb and a n00b are not the same thing, as a newb can and will get better where as a n00b will partake in activites meant mainly to aggrivate other players.

      To answer OP, because many are too lazy to search, or want to be spoonfed, or lack any motivation to master Google-fu.

  2. Loaded my Hi-cap for it's second outing tomorrow, hopefully I get off more than 20 shots before hating it; Hi-Cap Heroes Hazzah!

      I am totally oblivious to welts other than sometimes thinking I look like a mess can honestly say the thought of counting them or even checking myself over has never crosssed my mind. Would run out of fingers before I got very far anyway.

    3. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      Well I only mentioned it as more of a quantifiable value for how much I played today, though I got about half of those welts walking through one door way. Still doesn't change the fact that I counted, but I was by no means thorough.

      My thumb is playing up too. :(

       

      Damn vertical grips. Work fine for real guns, but on toy ones just exposes more of your hand to incoming fire.

  3. So who else is getting PM's from a certain member about valuations?

      I feel left out now :(

      I get the occasional PM for an opinion, and understand it can be useful to have someone to ask when deciding on spending money. Not had spam though.

    3. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      Well it's not spam Jedi, it's a presumption that the sender has asked 'many' others the same identical question, its a dire disregard for other's time no?

    4. ImTriggerHappy

      ImTriggerHappy

      No its not a dire disregard for others time, its getting varied opinions to help you decide. I feel sorry for the guy he messaged me to apologise in case he caused offence because of your status but only thing I find offensive is your status. If you have an issue don't reply but dont start a status that is just you picking at someone who has done sod all wrong.

  4. After I've safely discharged the bad LiPo, can I just chuck it in the bin, if so, recycling or landfill?

      or at local recycling centre in battery section - drop it bin and run for ya life

    4. Andy Mc

      Andy Mc

      If you have a lipo battery tester, make 100% sure that all cells are at 0%, if you have a 7.4v then both cells should be at zero etc.. cut the main lead connector off, wrap the leads together, and it should be safe to chuck in the bin. If you not sure then maybe take it to a local dump for disposal.

      better still, drive a nail through the battery, and stand back, LOL (not recommended) I've had a lipo go in one of my rc helicopters, it's not a nice experience!

  5. Played the mall, took 10 mid caps loaded to 140 each, used 1.5 during whole day. Probably got more people with BFG than AEG.

      I was the one with the black full face mesh mask, black t-shirt and vest. My gun has a tracer unit on that is black with silver chevrons on and its one of a kind so pretty easy to spot.

    3. ImTriggerHappy

      ImTriggerHappy

      It was only unbalanced because some people just shot everyone. Thats why I kept mine until close to the end because I was just breaking the stalemates and shooting the campers on both sides.

      Unless someone shot me then I shot everyone in the direction it came from.

    4. Heps_417

      Heps_417

      i was green yes, i thought exactly the same, once shot i heard i'm a personality you can't kill me.. I recall the full face mesh mask! I must say i thought Jedi's rig was pretty cool haha. I had the two-tone UMP, multi cam trousers and ECBA with a black hoodie

  6. http://www.relics.org.uk/aboutus.php - "peel off" alternative to two-tone. :D

  8. RIF Culture invasion, shocking! Easier to type than "airsoft gun", but still grating to read.

      Oh no, not the riff-raff again.

    1. Sacarathe

      I'll just leave this here, the amount of times "RIF" is used incorrectly(or inappropriately) is mind-boggling.

      Reads article, shakes head, and starts singing the RIF song. "RIF, RIF, rif, RIF...

  9. Annoying when looking for somewhere to play, but all they have is photos of players, and not photos of the site, such narrow shots. Ugh.

      Don't forget that at least half of the photos have to be blurred and out of focus!

  10. How do you fight the urge to buy gas pistols. :S

      Do not look at any pistols on the Internet, even when the urge is strong, it leads to the darkside. I am resisiting the urge but now you have made me start thinking about owning a TM HK45.

      Even then - not often. Its just so silly, i guess they justify it with the "login with FB/Google" option.

    3. Lozart

      Lozart

      It's so they can tell you the correct shipping. Would you rather be told "oh it'll probably be about a fiver" only to be stung for £20 at checkout?

    4. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      They need my email to tell me the shipping costs? Don't be silly.

  12. Is airsoft gun developement stagnant atm? I look back through 2008-2014 and I see lots of cool releases flowing out, but 14-16 there seems to be far fewer.

      Yeah xcortechs website is crap but their products and service is great. I have dealt with them direct a few times and they are amazingly helpful.

      Fair point, if you do not ask then you will not know their answer. And you could just be lucky. Just like Bargain Hunt, "so what is your very best price on this?". I tried haggling in a gallery once, much to my wife's embarrassment, and was told the artist price was fixed, but had to ask :)

      I like to search for bargains but to hell going on holiday haggling with the lookey lookey men on the beach - how much you pay, oh f*ck off I'll get it down the road.

      Because I tried one when I was looking for a Classic Army one.

       

      Are you sure you really want one though? The plastic body is sh*tty. Is the weight really that big a deal?

    3. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      Tbh, I wanted the metal cyma one, and I would have got it, but my parents went away on holiday from my permanent, and more importantly UKARA address, price on gunfire changed from 126 E to 170E before they returned. I have found the Umarex H&K Mp5K-PDW Sportline on powair6.com (126E).

      Could be worse I fell down a flight of concrete stairs. 2 guys at the bottom asked if was ok to which I replied I think so, at which point they shot me because I was on the opposite team. Think I was laughing more than they were.

  24. Took the Iron Sights off my CM18, quite surpirsed they weighed 200g. Added Bipod 330g.

    1. proffrink

      proffrink

      Also about where that bipod is in relation to the fulcrum (i.e. your hands). That's why they feel a lot heavier than they are. Wouldn't recommend a bipod on most builds for that reason.
