Might put mine back in the box 😂

Went to the Defiant Battlesim on Saturday at Longmoor UTC. Had a really good day, only hampered by poor comms and a couple of autumn showers. The teams seemed well balanced and the marshals/organisers were able to provide advice and deal with issues (not that I saw any) quickly and positively.

How long before I can stand in the safe zone and say “back in my day we had to load our magazines with a manual speed loader, no auto loaders” 😂

But we don’t want an auto loader .. we want a GBB Hi-Power!

@Marf83@Cyy8883 check out this thread, seems someone managed to...

Letting a mate borrow the A1 for a battlesim this weekend, have dropped it back to the short barrel to make it a bit easier for CQB and swapped the stock as the old school one is getting loose. Would love to have just an interchangeable set of upper receivers for this but it’s a nightmare because I’ve had it front wired.

I've always used this video to help me when it's been a while since I haven't programmed a UV-5R. Keep it simple, write down the settings and do them one at a time 👍🏼

Bands 👍🏼

I honestly didn't see any of that Saturday, maybe I was just lucky with the players around me!

@Emergencychimps yes I was there Saturday! That's a real shame to hear, like you say that sounds completely out of character from what I expect of the site. I wonder what caused it, there was a big group of players who had travelled up for the weekend from the South Coast, I had a good chat with them throughout the day but didn't experience any issues. Normally I stick to their filmsim weekends, maybe I'll continue that way in the future!

Popped along to Gunman Tuddenham for the first outing since April, mostly to test kit for the upcoming Defiant Battlesim in October. A good day to be fair, much warmer and drier than I expected, gameplay really good from both sides and not sure I heard of any hit-taking/cheat calling issues. Marshals were professional and helped to keep the gameplay going.

A fair point - I'm not sure 'need' is at all applicable to airsoft 😂

I was tempted to buy another, but then realised that only once in the last few years of airsoft have I actually needed 3 pistol magazines at a game... 😂

As others have said - I don’t get a notification for questions, and am unlikely to check on my own listings until they need to be renewed. I wouldn’t necessarily see it as bad manners or a measure of reliability; if you want a question answered then send a PM?

Definitely - do it before you get tinnitus like me, not nice to live with!
