AIRSOFT Cardiff have released their new business plan and fiscal prediction for 2022 .

Nah some spunktrumpet of an Englishman and a couple of Poles . Up ya arse nobber !

There’s an awful lot of lame ass excuses(“oh most players won’t recognise it’s Russian” or comparing the current invasion with the Crimea/Chechnya , saying no modern military is beyond reproach for their behaviour or everyones all time favourite “we’re grown adults shooting each other with toy guns !”) being floated to legitamize using recognisable Russian kit , err it’s really bad taste at the moment simple as that ? Russia is invading another country on live tv as we speak so not a stretch to say it’s very insensitive to wear it at the moment ? 6mths-12mth time ? Probably won’t be such a problem but now ? sorry your just an insensitive cock if you do wear it .

What you can also do is strip the canister down till it’s just an ‘empty can’ as it were that’ll help a bit , but even with an exfog fitted I still guarantee you’ll be sweating like a pig in Mosque the minute you starts ANY exertion ! Believe me I speak from experience ! ??

Totally agree .?

Looks like there done for the local sites are starting to say how disgusting this is and how ashamed they are that Airsoft Cardiff are representing the sport in such a bad way and they’ve pulled their Facebook page too now . ?

Oh don’t worry I’m going to start telling everyone I know down this neck of the woods to boycott them ! gotta laugh they’ve now amended the post to say their going to donate 10% of the days takings to charity, woopdy f**king doo !

Well it seems the number of Airsofters trying to get our sport banned through utter stupidity are now being joined by the F***ing sites they play at as well ! Their are no words to describe this . https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/airsoft-cardiff-ukraine-russia-conflict-23224443?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

Probably is (does sound like it) hence mod’ed the gun as I can’t do much to the holster .

Exactly my friend ! ?

Nah that really stretching it , there’s no one on the news at the moment wearing German kit invading another country is their ? I’m not saying “YOU CAN NEVER WEAR IT AGAIN !” or anything like that what I’m saying is turning up to a gameday in an authentic Russian loadout at the moment is a rather crass thing to do , yes a lot will not know the difference between a Spetnaz and an Albanian goathearder commando but some will and word will get around and it could cause a negative vibe to appear . It’s all about perspective , no matter what you wear someone could be ‘offended’ by it but when one country has invaded another and it’s all over the news as we speak is it really necessary to wear the aggressors uniform for the next couple of mths ? Sorry but that’s just an academic cop out used by people who won’t actually commit to a side in an argument or discussion and as such a load of bollox to boot .

Simple question , in the light of what’s going on as we speak do you think it is or it’s not acceptable to wear obviously Russian kit on game days now ? Me personally I say no you shouldn’t wear it , yes you may have spent an awful lot of money on your load out but you’d have to be one seriously insensitive person to turn up at a gameday wearing your digi flora or gorka 3 kit when the people who wear it for real are currently invading a democratic country simply because the dictator in charge of their motherland wants to put the clocks back 40yrs . Please discuss .

Better ? nope wouldn’t say so from my limited experience of it but is it ‘truly quality’ ? Now that’s a question for debate !? think it’s like everything else you buy you get what you pay for(but I’d also add the caveat that once you pass a certain price fresh hold I do believe your paying for the name as much as the quality) there are price bands that the products sit in , you’ve got kit that’s cheap shit and it looks it , then you’ve got the stuff that ‘looks’ ok but you know even in a Chinese sweatshop full of 9yr olds you just couldn’t make it at that price for it to be any good so they must have cut corners on it . Then you’ve got the biggest band the “looks ok , feels ok” kit and that’s where I think the likes of TMC/8Fields/1tigris/Nuprol/etc etc live , and from my limited experience I’d say Invader Gear is definitely in that band of kit quality . The next is a bit of an odd one where you’ve got the brands that are still Chinese knock off’s but your paying a lot more for it that the last lot , Flye/Emerson/Condor/etc live here , me personally I’m in the quandary over these brands as I do wonder do I buy these or do I pay that bit extra and move up to the next price range ? then you hit the ‘real’ kit when prices start getting(to me anyway)from “bit expensive but worth it I’ll treat my self !” to “nope sorry that’s a very silly price for Airsofting !” , you’d be a bit of a pillock not to realise this is the best kit you can have but if just a belt from a particular brand costs as much as a new pistol then I’ll stick with my knock offs thank you very much ! ? ultimately once you reach a price bracket it comes down to personal preference , you want to spend that much on a what ever ? Go for it but don’t make out you ‘had to buy it” no you WANTED to buy it just admit it , it’s your money you spend it on what ever you want .?

They do sit flush , that’s why I sanded barely half a mil off the bottom edge of the grips . Would have driven me mental if their had been a gap no matter how small ! ? .

Can’t speak for their full rigs but I can say their battle belts and pouches are really well made and from my limited experience of using it only real difference I’d say for our level of use(not as if we’re taking part in REAL op’s are we ??) compared to the likes of my Blackhawk! Or 5.11 kit is the weight , it’s a bit heavier as they’ve used single layer PU vinyl instead of multi-layer 1000D cordura to achieve stiffness to the gear .

I’ve only lost 2 mags in over 20yrs of playing but both where from ‘soft’ holsters and I’ve noticed I seem to be drifting more towards those type of holsters again as apposed to molded Kydex ones so thought I’d get ahead of the curve for once ??

Don’t know if it’s just me and my general hatred of all things ‘social media’(which I think is a total oxymoron should be called ANTI-social media the shit it causes !)but are some of the status updates on here seeming to be getting more and more like a ‘farcebook’ update ? I keep expecting to log in to the forum and see a “I’m fuming !” or a “never trust a snake !” Followed by a “what’s up hun ?” THEN followed by a “PM me !” ? Yea I’m old and grumpy as fornication .

Half term ‘nuff said ? ?‍♂️

That’s basically what I said , except I didn’t use as many words(I was tired) ???

Can you image the reaction of 99% of the “move up ! Move up !” Screamers you always get on a game day if some guys in real uniforms turned up and said “we’re looking for volunteers to join the self defense militia and we saw you and thought “ now he’s looking like a perfect candidate” ? They’d shit themselves four ways till Christmas ! ?????

There’s no legal requirement to lock them away but if you feel it is necessary then just get yourself a fairly sturdy short wardrobe and a hasp&staple so you can padlock it ?

Well mr Smuggy Mcfucknuts IF you’d actually read my post properly you’d have seen I said the very same knife was for sale in the UK already only reason I was buying it from over seas was it was out of stock at the moment . I do realise it’s probably an awfully hard task for you but do try and get your facts right before trying(and failing) to troll someone ? There’s a good little spunktrumpet . Savvy ?

A 100 times this ! the team running it can make literally the crappiest little site an absolutely brilliant day but equally a poor team can make the best site possible a total waste of a day . Classic example for me is my old home site , I always said a bad day there was better than a good day at most other sites I’d been too , until the head marshal passed away and then we rapidly discovered he really was the heart of it . After he passed away from my perspective(and my team mates as well) it just went to shit , standard of organisation dropped , rule infringements weren’t getting jumped on like before , poor control of the site became a lot more visible but the biggest thing for me(and again my team mates) was the total lack of customer care , the new bosses just didn’t care about it . When he was running the site he would always wonder around the safezone welcoming the players to the site , he was always at chrono , always tried to be the one giving the briefings , was always out on the field and was always approachable with questions/complaints/etc , and at the end of the day he always wondered around the safezone asking you if you’d had had a good day and if not why and shaking hands and saying good by and he looked forward to seeing you again at his site and it was his site , he may not have owned it on paper but he certainly was the boss in our eyes . When Dave died so did the site as far as I’m concerned and it really showed it’s the people that matter NOT the bricks and mortar .

Also the whole ‘custom’ thing does my swede in ? not this chaps add in particular but near all the adds you see claiming to be selling a ‘custom’ gun , on the whole the term custom is taken to mean you’ve permanently and physically altering the what ever in someway , like shortening the barrel , changing the layout of the controls , changing the entire gearbox internals ? that makes it a custom gun in my book , sticking a red dot and a bi-pod on it or just changing the inner and hop rubber then giving it a shit paint job does NOT make it a ‘custom’ gun , that’s just personalizing it !?‍♂️ rant over !?
