Why?

I have the exact pair linked, they're def flexible enough to not be a hindrance. I have taken a couple hits where I've been unlucky enough for it not hit the shield strips, as the shield strips don't always sit square when you've got your hand clenched round a grip.
 
Definitely as good as you can get without wearing a gloves that's solid all the way around rather than strips

It is they are forcing players to rent guns needlessly. There statement is false advertising therefore illegal.
Trading standards issue me thinks as this crap gives airsoft a bad name.

ehhh - it is one of the primary colours
 
 
 
 
All of us now & I'm telling
 
soz very bored n tired best get some kip

That's UPS actually. Though no doubt there is some kind of kickback as they don't use any other carriers.

(Bright) Yellow, (bright) pink, (bright) purple and transparent too.
 
A few places cheat though and use "bright" dark green though.

Yes, but who's going to know?

Don't hipfire, your accuracy goes down crazy like

You can still be 'realistic' with hicaps, just unload them to wind, simple.
 
I do however subscribe to the underlined quote below:

"My conscious choice to handicap myself by using realistic capacity magazines is one for game play. It adds stresses and strains to your game. You have to count your shots, you have to carry more weight. You have to think things through. You have to be aware.
 
Reloads can change the pace of a battle. You wait for the lapse in fire to make your move, they add another element to the tactics. You can bait people into firing at you more, so they’ll need to reload sooner, giving you a window. You can use the enemy’s ammo as a weapon.
 
With high caps there is no lapse in fire, if you get pinned by a high cap, you’re going to be pinned for a long time. I would argue that high caps require a lot less skill to use effectively and I think many would struggle to argue against that notion. When you have that much ammo, it’s a lot easier to hose areas down than play effectively with proper tactics. Even high cap users that use semi only – that’s no better. In fact it means they take longer to get through all their ammo, so the time before they need to reload becomes even longer, making it even harder for anyone else to make a move on them."

Here's a few gems
 
Don't buy a G&P (yep, someone told me this before my first purchase. I have bought about 4 G&P's since haha)
I wanted a G36 but they're all plastic? (um, what?) The guy showed me his G&G Raider
 
I like this map (usually the cod kids)
 
Any sentence with 'clip' involved, instead of mag
 
Anything UKARA related!

What is the advantage to this, over buying in bulk? What is your affiliation with the manufacturers? Will the service have hidden costs for international shipping, will you take payment in other currencies to save your buyers incurring exchange charges with their banks/paypal etc?

Think what you like, I wanted an underbarrel shotgun that was small, I'm gonna get one

It's always a shame to see people deliberately move away from the sport (as opposed to the drifters).
I don't mean to presume to understand your circumstances, nor do I wish to spout off with pie in the sky notions, but have you considered moving from player to provider? Your own site?
 
God knows it's as easy (or not) as setting up any business, but you can make it what you want it to be and as far as I can see, good, passionate and driven folks committed to their own high standards is NOT a universal thing every site has - and gaps in the market are out there.
It might not be a money maker, but It could give you new challenges, as well as allow you to put your background to a direct use?
 
Best of luck though chap.

I realise there's a strong chance that you're being sarcastic, but those are springer magazines.
 
And can we all just recognise the further impracticality of a magazine fed, shell-ejecting underslung pistol shotgun. Apart from the fact that it's going to cost loadsa mony, those shells aren't cheap and you're going to lose them.
 
If it was a grip charged type like the 870 breacher then it'd be more usable, but heavy as hell and still largely pointless; this whole thread is just a tiny bit too silly. Is that the point? I can't quite tell, heh.

Where does the gas go then?

Two words that always get me.
"Ukara License".

Yes you could. You could have explained the difference between a sniper and a twat. Nothing worse than spawn campers never go more than ten feet from regen and do nothing to help their team but are always the most vocal in telling everyone else how to play and always brag about the fact they are so good and only died once all day "its because your actually crap and dont play properly" god I really hate players like that😠
 
Rant over I feel better now☺

Nonsense

I'd say it's worth it and the 100-120 people playing there each time seem to agree lol. They charge more because it costs them thousands to rent the site each time. i doubt they make more profit out of it than people running woodland games with half the numbers, esp as there's usually 10 marshalls there each time and woodland will usually have half that at most. The site is a full shopping mall, all the shops, corridors, basement areas. It's really well run by friendly non-scamming types, they get lots of random business rather than mostly being regulars, so impartiality and fairness is well developed there. Let us know when your going, I'd certainly be happy to show you around if i'm there that weekend as it is such a big site it's very easy to get lost/spun around in.
 
CQB definitely gives you more freedom of what airsoft gun to use, as it only needs to be able to shoot a few meters with any accuracy. Being easy to carry/weld is probably most important factor, many people only use pistols or SMG sized guns, having a big M16 with a grenade launcher will be more a hinderance. In woodland it's more people shooting each other at range and then having an expensive well tuned bit of kit will make all the difference.
 
As for Absolute Airsoft being dubious, I also stopped going there but this was due to me not enjoying woodland games rather than any perceived wrong-doings, not sure what event/behavior it was that prompted a mass exodus from the site, but since then see more of the same faces going to The Mall instead. Certainly wouldn't hurt to go to try out woodland airsoft, just might not be great place to be a regular at.

Think you've found the best local ones to be starting with already!
 
I live near Reading, Absolute Airsoft was my first site, they run two, one in Reading one on the edge of Maidenhead. The Reading one is primarily a paintball site, is good because it has lots of fortifications etc, but everything is covered in a grey sludge mix of dif paintball paints perished over the years that doesn't seem to wash off like it should so don't wear anything you don't mind ruining.
 
Zed Adventures is The Mall site (might see me and other addicts mentioning it far too often on these forums), which is a disused shopping mall (Friars Walk). My personal favorite.
 
Absolute Airsoft is woodland and a typical experience compared to majority of airsoft sites. Zed Adventures is a CQB site (Close Quarter Battle). They're two different shades of airsoft, so it'd def be a good idea to try both and see which you prefer.
 
Woodland sites give you much more room and time for teamwork/tactics etc, easier to play soldier in. CQB is much more fast paced and chaotic. I'd say in woodland sites are like playing paintball (often the same place and similar game scenarios) and CQB is more like playing Laser quest or similar (but with cool guns)
 
If you love it just don't rush out and buy a gun right-away, everyone does and it ends up sat unused in a box due to being too crap, the wrong type or painted 50% a bright color. Discuss potential purchases on here and the vets/trolls will guide you to a good choice/retailer.
 
Also - When you decide which site/day your going wouldn't hurt to ask on here if anyone's going too, and you'll probably find someone who'll be happy to guide you through the day. Definitely a good idea when going to The Mall as it's a bit of a maze at first.

Turned up and no charge so far...
