In the end retailer reputation means nothing , back beginning of the yr I had real problems with Bespoke over a warranty return and they started getting really arsey with me when I had the temerity to dare ask for updates after wks of no comm’s from them .? -
Always been a big fan of Cyma AK’s and recently been switched on to their new Mosfet edition M4/M16 guns as well , I’ve got the CM.009E and it’s without a doubt one of the best AEG’s I’ve bought in a very long time and it’s only a few ? more than the one you’ve highlighted so if you can stretch to it I’d highly recommend one of their mosfet models . ? this is mine .

Nah feck em ! They know what they signed up for .

Totally agree I can be sarcastic as fornication at times(I am Welsh after all , it’s our TRUE national sport) BUT I do try to temper it slightly if an add does seem overly hopeful or just “oh dear that seller really hasn’t a clue on resale value do they !” and on the whole I do think Mac’s sticks to that BUT I do also enjoy it when some wankspanggle gets called out for claiming something their selling is blatantly not(SPR anyone ??♂️)what they claim it is AND then try doubling down on it ! ?♂️ when are these dumbasses ever going to realise this forum is populated buy a lot of players with even more knowledge about the game and the kit than most retailers ! ????? EDIT , And low and behold I give you my exact point ! it’s an AA SA80A1 tarted up so I’m hoping it’s lack of resale value knowledge . seller says based in Andover ? more like Bendover at that price ! ?

The " What's Your Best / Worst Ever Purchase? " Thread
Druid799 replied to AirsoftTed's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
This is an easy one , EVERYTHING I’ve ever bought has at some time or another fitted in both categories ! TM recoils recond to be possibly the best stock AEG you can buy ? , yup I’d say so that is until you take them to a gameday then realise You've picked up ‘normal’ mags not the recoil ones and no one has any spares on site ! ? New all singing all dancing plate carrier as used by seal team 6&3/4’s that you got for a screaming bargain price ? You know it’ll up your game by at least 200% ! Well it would have done if the first gameday you used it on hadn’t just so happens to be the hottest day in recorded history so you cook for the 1st two games ?then spend the rest of the games with either your pockets stuffed with mags or a couple of hi-caps !?♂️ And so on and so fourth ? ? -
AND he hasn’t even had the good manners to put deans on it he’s got Neolithic Tamiya connectors on it ! ?♂️

I bought 2inch elastic from fleabay, a metre each of green , blue , red , yellow cut it too size stitched it together and you’ve more that enough for 4 armbands in each colour so if you only want the one of each you’ve got 3 full sets of singles you can sell on or 1 set of doubles if you keep one for each arm as some sites do ‘double arm’ the teams . So able to get your money back no problem .

Well that’s a disappointing looking piece of shit ! ? Thanks G&G , you F**ked that up royally didn’t you ? ?♂️

Oohh now your asking a VERY contentious question ! Me personally I think most joe player’s home paint jobs really do look like a mound of poop , very rarely they look any good simply because they just haven’t the skill for it(have a look at Geartech’s pics and then look back though the gun pic thread)to turn out any good . BUT like pretty much everything else in airsoft it’s a case of your gun , you do what you want with it and balls to what everyone else says ! ?

Well after 21-2yrs of playing I do have one or two to say the least ? pic 1 , me 1st thing on a misty spring morning , pic 2 , is a couple of team mates on a crisp’n’cold winters day and pic 3 is my youngest on his 1st game day .

I have actually asked him this very question on the ad but suprise suprise no answer !

So basically what your post is saying is unless all sites only allow their own rental guns to be used on site then there’s no point in chrono’ing anyones gun as no one can be trusted to any degree not to cheat ? In that case it comes down too when you book on a game they ask just one single question “are you a cnut yes or no ?” Simple as that really .
-
Of course you do , but I think I’ve a much better chance of hooking you up with a flying unicorn if your interested ??

My new home site has two chrono stations running at the same time , everyone has to go line up at the same time , one does .2’s the other .25’s and once all the .2’s are done they then do all other weights AND the marshal has a laminated sheet with the BB weight +fps variants on it to workout if it’s a yay or a nay . Chrono takes practically no time at all compared to basically every other site I’ve ever been too , chrono stays open till safety brief when it then closes any late attenders or anyone else who missed it as they were too busy gob’ing off to their mates have to wait till the start of the warm up game to chrono so it only eats in to their game time and not everyone else’s on site . Me personally I think it works bloody well as a system . Not denying your going to get variants in fps output shot by shot but some of the discrepancies I’ve seen over the years at different sites I’ve attended have been farcical ! ? hence I always try to stay mid to low 300’s with my fps and I have my own chrono to check my guns before game days on the off chance the fuckup fairy has been and sprinkled some powdered bollox on my gatt’s while they’ve been laid up ! ?♂️

Not saying I’m ‘deadshot’ or anything like that but even when it’s a small amount of player visible I can still usually hit them no problem without ‘optical assistance’ just through having a pretty good idea were the bb is likely to go as I alway try holding my guns the same way and aim and shoot from the same position every time I engage a target ? wether that’s because I learned to shoot with iron sights and never with optics of any sort I don’t know , could be I suppose .
-
My take on the whole “high rise/low rise” argument is as airsofters why are we arguing about which optic setup is best when we are working at ranges where you don’t actually NEED optics to hit a man sized target ! ???

Sorry but all I’m getting from your posts is you appear to be defending the site owner for his own site incompetence , as @Kls77has said on several occasions the marshal chrono’ing at the start was fully informed about his mates set up for the day and passed him to play with that set up so that should be the end of it , but the owner then comes along random chrono’ing (which is perfectly acceptable , I’ve always been a fan of it) but to decide no he can’t play with that set up and telling him he has to leave the site with that set up is outrageous . In no way shape or form was the player at fault it’s ALL on the site . The one giant elephant in the room I’ve not seen mentioned yet is the actual chrono’s being used and how accurate they are ? was the gun re-chrono’ed on the same chrono or a different one ? When was the last time anyone checked them to see if there actually recording accurately or not ? As I (like many others I’m sure) am frequently quite bemused by the variation in the upper and lower FPS numbers my guns are ‘recorded’ doing at different games days I attend especially as all my guns are kept stock and never ‘up-graded’ as I’ve always been a believer in “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it !” So there shouldn’t be a particularly noticeable variation in the output once there bedded in . I do think it’s fair to say most sites get the chrono’s out on a Sunday morning check the guns and then end of day or some time during it there either chucked in a box or in to a cupboard until the next game day , hardly the way you’d want a machine used to accurately check energy output treated is it ? just saying .

Have to disagree about the Cyma AK , having had that very same model for a good few years as one of my ‘lenders’ I can happily say yes it may be a TM clone BUT it’s certainly not even close to being as bad as those old school TM ones were back in the day . Plus as that’s one of the staple rentals of an awful lot of sites one would think it can’t be that delicate in the wider scheme of things ? ?
