I’m looking for peace on earth and a unicorn , neither imminently on the horizon for me ! so try here ; Link

You can buy actual AIRSOFT safe lenses for them , but as big stew said I guarantee you’ll be sweating like a pig in a Mosque if you wear one to play Airsoft . ?

Couple of yrs ago at the NAE ‘car boot’ a couple of young very suntanned guys with issue haircuts flogging a shitload of Blackhawk! Gear still in the packaging , put a nice bundle together must have been clocking 300?’s worth retail , asked how much he said 200 so I came back with “200 ? that’s a bit steep does Lizzie know you’ve been raiding her store cupboard ?” . “Tell ya what call it a ton and I won’t have a clue where or when I bought it all , work for you ?” AND he just grinned and said “sounds like a deal to me !”? like I said 90% of squaddies will have the fillings out of your teeth if they think they could flog em ! ???

Just saying ?

What he said !

Many moons ago when the subject was being discussed the general consensus was the previous point about retailers getting around the VCR and even to use the most hackneyed of excuses for bad play “but we are just grown men running around shooting each other with toy guns !”?‍♂️ They REALLY do look like toy guns and stand out like a pimple on a babies arse ? As to pulse rifles/UAR’s/etc they are facsimiles of supposed real guns and to none gun nut members of joe public that’s what they are ?

He sold stolen high value military kit very true BUT he wasn’t the one stealing it was he ? having served I can quite happily say the military are absolutely atrocious at securing kit and 90% of squaddies are thieving barstuards given half a chance when it comes to other peoples unattended kit and would happily sell the gold fillings from your teeth if they saw the opportunity !? He was the middle man(no excuse for what he did) but he served his time chapter closed . immaterial of whether the UCAP ‘rules’ are good or bad they’ve ALWAYS given a reason why and stuck by them , not many sites do that . with BFG’s it’s just you don't chuck it in a room and then immediately go straight in shouting your coming to get your ‘nade back !(think it’s safe to say we’ve all seen this happen?‍♂️) you just have to wait a couple of minutes till the gameplay has moved on from that point before you retrieve it .

Valid point , but you’ve got Socom amongst the most expensive and there not exactly a ‘one man in a garage’ retailer ? and then you’ve got Kimbers Kit (who I’d never even heard of before) selling at £1.25 cheaper than Socom ? If you expand these price differences up to AEG prices your moving in to the realms of 60-70-80 or even 100’s of pounds difference between the prices . Still looks a bit like a “pick a number between 1-10 , now times it by 4 , now takeaway your starting number , now divid by 3 , now forget that number and charge what you want !”?

We’ve all seen the variations in the price for the same product from different retailers but last night was looking for a couple of taco ‘style’ pouches for SMG mags , I settled on the ‘Kombat extended pistol magazine pouch’ and really saw how bad it can be ; 9th place(and should be very proud of it) Fubar Bundy , only £4.96 . 8th , Bullseye country sports £5.29 . 7th , Kimbers kit military supplies £5.75 . 6th place there’s quite a few , Bomb up Airsoft/Platoon stores/Just Paintball/Airsoft World/Surplus store/Only Airsoft all £5.95 . 5th place and with quite a jump in price a couple of joint holders , Airsoft Operator Box/Coldbore Airsoft/Back Alley Army Stores/Kombat UK all £6.95 . 4th (just) , EagleSix £6.98 . 3rd , Socom Tactical/Tactical Airsoft/Urban Airsoft £7.00 . 2nd , TSAIRSOFT £8.00 . And in 1st place and the winner of the award for price gouger of the year(so far anyway ?) goes too ? LEICESTERSHIRE AIRSOFT for charging £9.99 each ! ? AND this is without even starting on the P&P cost which all where £4.95 and upwards unless you chose ‘pick up in-store’ or they had their own or were linked to a site where you could collect it your self so there would be no charge(there’s kind of them !?‍♂️) So for me this does say a lot(and I don’t think you can’t use the excuse of low turnover/niche market due to the market place presence of some of the higher priced retailers) , ‘gouging’ or not ? Up to you to decide .?

Way back when the VCR kicked in the very same small group of retailers who really pushed for the UKARA scheme to be the only way to be able to buy RIF’s , which would basically allow them to control the market(allegedly of course) once it was in place THEN turned around and created Two-tones to circumvent the UKARA scheme so they could still sell cheap ass CAR’s (Chav Assault Rifles) to the unwashed masses ! UCAP took a stance over it and have stood by that stance and I’ve always supported them for that .

Glad I’m not the only one ! AND don’t get me started on upside down pictures !???

Not able to cut and grind one of those down ? Many moons ago that’s what I had to do with an M14 scope mount so I could do a Vietnam ‘themed’ build with a knackered old scope that had built in dovetail mounts on it . Edit , quick image ruffly what I did .

Well , that looks weird as fornication ! ? AND I love it ! ?

Definitely a dreamer , unfortunately his time and effort aren’t worth diddly squat when your NOT a professional woodworker , as good an effort as it is(which it is) it certainly doesn’t look like a professional woodcarvers work by any stretch . £800 ? nope sorry bud but your way off the mark with that one .

I’ve just turned 55 , couple of team mates are 56, 55 and 52 so you’ve got plenty ahead of you ! ? so welcome to the bottomless money pit that is AIRSOFT ! ?‍♂️

Seems awfully tall ? makes me think of an old French battleship !

Nothing tooooooo epic been collecting the bits’n’bobs needed to dress a Double Eagle M904G in a similar livery to the guns in ‘The Tomorrow War’ (boredom’s a terrible master) .?

Do you have a defense to buy all these ? if not would think having too buy them two tone’ed would suck real donkey dicks ?

Have to ask , why did you ‘up-grade’ the internals so soon ? Was their a problem with yours ? I had a go of one last October and I thought it was outstanding , it was untouched internally about the only thing you could say about it was it had had several thousands rd’s through it so it was well bedded in .

From the VERY minimal amount we can see I’d hazard a guess it’s one of these type vests , with one of these type pouches stuck on the front .

This pair are both Cyma’s that I’ve ‘attacked’ with wet’n’dry , wire wool and paint pens , and also stuck chunks of real wood on as well .

Get yourself a Cyma and your golden , not expensive , almost totally bombproof , very reliable and for a LOT of players the go to brand for AK’s .?

Don’t know about the latest model but the older ones it was for attaching side pouches of your Bergan so as they look identical one would assume it’s the same use ?

It’s non offensive Has a rubber ball inside it .?
