Me :- someone please talk me out of getting a TM MP7
AFUK:- … “you should get one” …. “Give in get one” … “do it!”
Me :- ok ok I’ll do it

Dear Matt,
It's not too much to ask for.
Sincerely,
Raymond Holt

Yeah, forget basic etiquette, that's below normal human.

Airsoft is a great community, I often find myself chatting loads with the people I trade with about RIFs and everything else inbetween.
 
Why not strike a conversation up with someone that's likeminded - that's what we're all on this forum for in the first place right? 

Nope, I always try to write proper messages with the appropriate greetings etc! Manners cost nothing!

Courtesy costs nothing. A couple of times it's actually taken me while to figure out what some people have written. Text speak became a thing because phones had limited characters. That's not an issue anymore type properly!

was selling 5 parts in an advert a while ago and someone sent me a msg saying "still got it?"
 
still got which one? imbecile 🤬

Ok guys I’m now feeling really old posting this, but does anyone else get frustrated with some people’s message etiquette?
 
recieved a text this morning purely saying “open to a trade?”  ;
no “good morning” or “hi, my name is blah blah, I saw your advert for blah blah on blah blah blah airsoft website would you be interested in a trade, I have blah blah blah on offer”
 
Is that really too much to ask for? 

Dogtag near Crawley. Has been more hit than miss of late, which is good.
 
Ha, cheers, was good to give it a go again.

Well, I took on the general consensus of advice and picked a beautiful summers day to dust off the cobwebs.
 
Went fairly light and did a half day (best option for me as I find post-lunch I am full and verging on wanting a nap!) and it was pretty...pretty good.

I'll never forget the first time I did a 'window breach' on exercise. I was the first man in. We ran across the open ground in front of the building threw up the scaling ladder and I was up it like a whippet down a rabbit hole (I was a lot younger then, now its more like a St. Bernard trying to squeeze through a cat flap!!!). Me and the guy a couple of rungs behind me in the ladder tossed a couple of training grenades into a pitch black room and after a pair of bangs I jumped into the room rifle at the ready trying to look as tacticool as fook.
 
Unfortunately those sneaky Gurkas who were playing the enemy has decided not to defend that room and instead had just filled it waste deep in barbed wire, which I had just jumped right into the middle off. So instead of looking cool I ended up looking like a fish in a net. Unfortunately the net was made of very old and rusty barbed wire. I remember it must have taken me an hour with a set of wire cutters to get free and it cut my combat trousers to ribbons, and put a couple of nasty tears in my smock (I couldn't have cared less about the issue trousers, but I was wearing a pretty expensive Arktis smock that I had bought myself so I was well pissed about that).
 
I spent the rest of the day in the medics waggon with a blanket wrapped around my waste drinking overly sweet tea. Once they had cleaned me up there were no major lacerations just a fist-full of superficial cuts and grazes, but when I finally cut myself free It looked like I was wearing red tights under my trousers where the blood had been running down my legs. The medic must have asked me at least 20 times if my tetanus shot was up-to-date, which will tell you something about the condition of the barbed wire.
 

Haha yeah i know the feeling why theres been a break in videos XD
 
cheers bud appreciated

Fair play to you for filming and editing! I’ve done a little bit of filming at skirmishes with my GoPro but couldn’t find the motivation to do anything with the footage!
 
Keep on mate it looks spot on!

Whilst I don’t own a King Arms rifle, in theory yes it should; all of these stocks are of a very similar design. 
 
However in practice, it may require shimming if the stock is loose on the stock tube. 
 
I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit, but there’s only one way to find out!! 

Get the NGRS and a TM sidearm.  You only live once. Why fuck about with enjoying yourself?  
 
Since you don't actually need a pistol; choose what the hell TM you like.  I use a 1911, but my lad has a G18C that he neglects horribly and never cleans.  I've scraped the gunk out of it once since 2016, and it still performs spot on.  
 
You can get a £100 rif to perform wonderfully, but you need a real affinity with tinkering, or a good tech.  The CYMA M14 for example can perform magnificently, but the V7 gearbox is horrid.  

It’s up for £550 now 😂

All Tigered up at Gunman Camp Bravo last weekend (Aug 15th)

I had to google most of those 😂😂😂
 
In regards to the Escort MP5 I thought there were only two types, a Ford and those you pay by the hr 😂😂😂

Funny old day today.  Went for our usual run around Tuddenham for Filmsim, which is my favourite type of game tbh.
 
We were assigned a chap who I have milsimed with in the past at cold war games.  He certainly knew his stuff, and set out a clear game plan and assigned people tasks if they wished.  The game was fairly simple and based on some console game I think.  At least the kids all knew what the teams were supposed to be about any how.   
 
The standard of gameplay was brilliant, the scenarios well briefed, the marshalling was excellent (what little was required) and bar someone with the mother of plate carriers being truly oblivious to being hit, there were no problems at all.  
 
I loved sneaking through the scrub and finding the enemy, got some hilariously lucky shots through bushes and got some good long range shots walking the M4 in like a mortar.  Having a contact lens fall out as I ran full pelt (lumbered quickish might be more accurate...) was weird.  My shooting was well off with one eye seriously short sighted.  
 
What was strange was the lack of aggression on our team.   Breakthroughs were unexploited, pushes fizzled out and a few times the three or four players that did push up were friendly fired.  It didn't dampen the day for us at all, but I expect that it may have done if someone were ultra competitive.  Odd as the onsite team were full of energy and the other side really enthused.  
 
Really glad I went despite the crap weather.  Don't think I've ever had a bad day here tbh.  

Yep, as said, MK5 for throwing in woodland (only things you're allowed to throw anyway)
I use a timed Dynatex for dropping in windows of structures and pick it up straight after it goes off.

The ultimate  solution to not losing reusable grenades is to use disposable grenades 
 
Tethering a grenade will get caught with branches etc 
If you were to put something on a reusable grenade then a ribbon etc would make them easier to spot and pickup 

because I'm worth it lol🥂

Police need to be equipped with fully automatic woodchippers.  We need a Woodchipper Pride Month, I already have a flag in mind.
 

 
I hope, I really hope, that they look into whoever sold the nonce that RIF and do them for it if they don't have a rock solid defence.  And when I rant about AirsoftWorld and Fat Bobs selling to anyone who asks without a real defence, this is why.
