Thanks brother. I’ve always preferred the long gun, they are simply ‘classic’; I think the mixed bag ‘task force black’ load outs are the best looking too, though and will probably search out another mich type helmet n goggles at some point!!

I was thinking either that or flying with SAS. Get a bunch of drivers and share the journey and make a bit of a road trip out of it. 

I've mentioned it to my mates but they're not as into it. At this point I'm in the mindset that I'll just say fuck it and do it myself, hence the post looking for some people to tag along with and make the whole thing less daunting. 
 
You've still got the best part of a year to go, not sure how quickly tickets sell out...
 
 
 
 
And definitely willing to help out if you and your lot would wanna go 

Don't point your gun where it shouldn't be pointed and you'll almost certainly always be just fine.  Applies to TM G19 Gen4s, and literally every other RIF.

From what I can see sadly the Harwich to Denmark ferry isnt running any more....

I just ordered a universal Molle holster (Kombat UK) so I can run with the M9 for a bit, see how much I actually use it.  And then when I can (afford it) I'll grab a Hi Capa.
At that point I might swap the cordura holster for a plastic retention style one too.

Quick story...
I had one great game where my main gun ran out of battery.  I was defending in a game of zombies, down to about 4 or 5 survivors versus a swarm of zombies running down a wooded hill at us.  Pinging shots from the M9 at unsuspecting enemies was just sooooo satisfying.  The adrenaline rush of being swarmed, the lack of ammo, the feel of the blowback on the gun, all just made it really exciting.
I probably only got a couple of kills, as the over-hop meant my long range shots were all over the place (I was still using 0.20s at the time) but damn I enjoyed that.  
 
So yeah, I'll want to use my pistol, and I'd rather it be realistic/dramatic (sort-of rules out the AAP-01 and also the non-GBB guns) at the expense of practicality.
Which was I why I was initially drawn to the Army Armament guns with their metal slides.
 

Transiting in the mail is permitted 
 
However it can depend on how customs declarations have been completed
Or there was an over zealous depot in their handling of transiting items
 
 
For travelling through Germany (and other countries) there are transit declarations such as this for Frankfurt airport transit:

http://www.frankfurt.de/mitnahmeerlaubnis
 

 
Be aware that there are also other restrictions, such as they must be securely packed in transit, there may be restrictions on attachments (no tactical lights or lasers)
A report of someone’s experience could be due to additional factors than just transiting - eg not locking it in a case, lasers being found with them etc 

 
The odds are slim of being stopped while passing through a European country, but can happen due to any random reason.
eg foreign cars stand out, groups of lads stand out.  And very importantly drivers in different countries behave differently which means a foreigner may catch the eye of the police, even something as simple as raising your hand to signal thanks when someone lets you change lanes - in the UK that’s something to be thankful for, in many European countries it’s the default and waving at other drivers is some form or warning or threat

We had to rearrange a trip to Poland a few years back as we were travelling with 12ft-lb airguns for a competition (6ft-lb limit in Germany).  The German plod had warned us that they were fully aware of the world championships being held in Poland and that they would be looking to stop coachloads of competitors.  
 
The coach firm developed cold feet about the whole deal too.  
 
No-one fancied being nicked for a firearms offence understandably.   If you look at it from Herr Constable's point of view, having 40-50 people per coach casually carrying unlicensed rifles through his patch is a bit of  a piss take.  
 
Having said that...  I expect that UK orders from Poland often arrive via road.
 
Belgian police certainly have a reputation for stopping 4x4s in shooting season and having a look at your paperwork.  Although if you're dressed for a day in the field and have your gundog with you I suppose you stand out fairly easy.

tbf they keep saying this is the last run and then do another one. its a bit like the M81 ferro slingsters...
 
"it's the last time guys, we know we have said this for the last 5 years but we mean it this time"
 
So you may get another chance yet, i think this was their 2nd or 3rd run of them.

Losing airsoft guns at German customs used to be a thing for a while if they were posted with a certain courier as they went via a German hub or some BS.  So even if it was legal in the country of sale and destination country, German customs would intercept.  Perhaps that worry is from that.

Joking aside, after being DESTROYED by people with decent NV, why would Poors pay to get rekt again?
 
I'd be a little concerned that once you have enough people out there giving it the full Predator that they'll be the only people doing night games.

Who knows … just going by what they said 😂
 
Maybe we’ll be able to get an AF-UK team together….

A few bits have arrived to finish the OpFor rig i'll be using at the next Okto in January... because who doesn't like woodland and a Czech Ushanka 😅

Got this second hand for a very low price. Firesupport used to do this as a custom option. Its a tm recoil ak102 with lct furniture and a modified ak hop unit to allow the use of regular ak mags. It needs a new selector plate and a few screws here and there but otherwise seems in very good nick. And at the end of the day it cost me little enough that I can probably flog the lct furniture and get most of my money back!

There are no routine borders checks within the Schengen zone, but they can appear at any time
Under Covid they have been reinstated by some countries under travel restrictions
You can of course be stopped by the police at any time 
 
If they are aware of airsoft or paintball events in Germany or around Europe the German police do check travellers
 
Travellingthrough a countries with airsoft guns that don’t comply with their regulations is a risk.  To travel through Germany any airsoft guns carried should bear the F stamp.  (They should also comply with the legislation covering the F stamp - but that’s another matter)

LOL, they've got some front, considering their past history. 😏

Yeah apparently the Germans have a propensity for confiscating Airsoft guns at the border 😬
 

Yeah.  A mod needs to message these guys.  They don't seem to grasp what the news forum is for. 

This is not "news"

Just felt like posting  a pic or two…since my G&p A1 receiver bought it in the flames, I just had the ‘burning’ desire to create a new version. Managed to literally dig from the embers, my army code barrel AND front sight!!! And decided to go gbb. I also had an a2 gbb but that wasn’t so fortunate, and is one for the nice insurance man to sort. 
anyways, just the upper mods to do and the engraving….



For the purists out there; my G&p thumbscrew mount acog is cremated so this will have to do atm, and for reference, the peq-2 is an invisiblesight IR version I was lucky to have safe at my son’s. 

Mate do it! Sign up some buddies and go. I bet you would be buzzing for weeks after 😀

I did have a ticket a few years ago but the logistics are what stopped me, hopefully if we can get a few people together then it’ll make the costs and organisation etc a little more manageable. 

It sounds and looks great 👍
 
Had a look at their website last night.
Logistically it sounds like a lot of planning and organising.
 
I'm too old now to take it on but wish I had got involved years ago 😔. 
 
My closest experience.to berget would be the nae although not really comparable. But it's only an hour down the road. Even with that I have to have a little nap before I put tents up lol.
 
I would say to anyone who is able to,go do it!
 
Regards
