Indeed and it’s well bizarre what they do and don’t slap ITAR on , couple of yrs ago was after an L1A1 flash hider , nope not a chance it was ITAR’ed BUT I could have bought the bolt carrier from the same supplier no problem ! 😳

No you won’t , unless your trying to buy complete guns or any other stupid things like that .

As the rocket says UKARA and anything else airsoft legislation related has rock all bearing on buying surplus gun parts or anything else ‘real’ 👍

Exactly AND it was us who came with the idea to help get the sites back up to scratch as in the end it would benefit us the most if the sites where back to full playability and not all over grown so we could only use the main tracks on them . Yea couple of carpenters an arborist and the manager of a tool hire place even offered free equipment to use ! You know what mate you are right we were bloody naive to think he’d not stitches us up ! Lesson learned .

Again all valid points that you could sort of understand with a simple explanation but not this way , pre pandemic on a couple of occasions he actually thanked the airsofters at the end of a gameday for still turning up in large numbers wk in wk out during the ‘lean’ winter mths when all the other activities where dropping off due to crap weather . But for me the real stab in the back is that just over a wk ago a large group of these ‘annoying’ airsofters spent a day at one of his other sites (and we were planning the same at the others as well) clearing all the overgrowth back and repairing the structures and barricades that had fallen in to disrepair due to the lockdown for him for free as we wanted to help him out as we knew money was tight ! So me personally I wont be forgiving or forgetting what happened on Sunday for a long time if ever .

Do see your points but to openly say they couldn’t give a toss about customer satisfaction just as long as there recouping lost money ? As to could he be on any spectrum he runs a business that has four sites two of which are open Severn days a wk running multiple events at a time , when he was first actually informed we wanted to speak to him with no real details about what being given to the marshal and the fact he looked at us shrugged his shoulders and walked off in a different direction and finally the fact his wife said ‘he doesn’t like being questioned about his business practices” so I think I’m more than right in saying he’s an arrogant prick nothing more nothing less ? No that was a different site and yes I fully intend to put up truthful revues on there customer service attitude .

After taking a day to cool down I can safely say Sunday was the worst airsofting experience I have ever had in over 20yrs of playing . arrived on site as per usual start getting ready to rock , get out nice and early have the usual warm up game goes well . Second game of the day playing far end of the site so I drop down the bottom and start flanking the blues to be told “no can’t go there that fields out of bounds” I think fair enough trying to keep it tight so more intense ? No reason was the NEXT field over from that one had a group of under 10’s having a paintball party ! Next game we turn that game around to THEN be told one of the top fields that has a crashed wooden blackhawk in it was now out of bounds instead for the same reason ! next game the first field is out of bounds again because there were adults paintballing in that field and a party of about 20 chavs that had booked a 2hr session of airsofting where dropped right in the middle of us lot so the whole thing totally went to ratshit because they where running around shooting everyone immaterial of which team they where on , not taking there hits and generally having a wonderful time ! Spoke to a marshal and his reply ? “There only here for 2hrs so boss said let them do what ever they want “ ! next game yet another field was closed due to kids having a paintball party , oh and at one point one of the only two marshals watching all these kids brings them in to the safezone where all us airsofters where (which totally contradicts child safeguarding) to clean there masks and while all these crotch goblins are milling around I even catch one trying to pick up my full stock full metal ways a ton AK74 ! Next game no problems sites ours again great . After this it’s lunch time , during lunch we notice a LOT of adults and children turning up and we find out we’re going to loose about 35% of the site to other activities so a group of the regulars are sat out side discussing what’s happening we all decide united front and speak to management was told someone would be over , no one turned up . Found the owners wife she said she was so busy but she ‘would try’ to speak to us , AND of course she didn’t ! Saw Her husband (other owner)tried speaking to him but he ignored me , told A senior marshal we wanted to speak to him urgently , I saw him tell him but all the owner did was shrug his shoulders and walk off in the opasite direction ! We all went inside to find him and we did , he was flitting around ‘doing stuff’ and blatantly ignoring us ! He finally went in to the office bit and starts going through the wavers from the morning we ask him “are you going to speak to us ?” He carries on going through the papers . Someone said “are you going to speak to us or just ignore us ?” and that’s just what he did he ignored us ! Someone then says “so your just going to ignore paying customers are you ?” At this point he just turns around and walked off without even acknowledging us ! He actually walked off ignoring us ! Un fucking believable . so by now all to a man we where absolutely bouncing so we decided again united front all leave and tell them why as we are leaving . We all pack up and as we’re leaving we spot the wife again so put our grievances to her telling her politely how disgusting it is there running other events on the same day the bi-monthly airsoft gameday is run and closing off sections of the site for these other activities but still charging us full price , she gives a half arsed apology I said “so what your saying is making money is more important than customer satisfaction ?” Her reply ? “Yes the money is more important because we lost so much last year and if we don’t make enough money now we’d have to close the site !” Oh and when asked about her husband ignoring paying customers politely asking him to answer our grievances her reply ? “Oh he doesn’t like being questioned on his business decisions and he will go quiet and not answer you !” As we are walking to our cars we spot him in one of the biggest fields leading a group of teens on quad bikes around it ! and cherry on top of this whole fiasco I later found out last game day they where running the air rifle range AND clay pigeon shooting at the same time as airsofting on site ! So all I can really say on it now is I and at least 10 other players will never be going back to BLACK OPS CRIBBS BRISTOL . And it’s been my ‘home site’ (I call it my home site even though I live in Swansea and drive 1.5hrs to get there) for over 7yrs as a result of the horrendous customer service given to us .

My home site runs red right blue left as well but even with the marshals shouting this out at start of day you STILL get players that put them on the wrong arm ! Now if I’m unsure who a player is but I’m leaning more towards the other team I fire first and don’t ask questions ! 😈

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Druid799 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
At least we now know who won the Euro millions ? 🤔 -
What you playing at ? Coming back with a polite reply !😱😁 Was Just a ‘gut reaction’ on first impression of your sales post from a jaded old fart of a player Who took it at face value .😉
-
Oops , in defence it was late and I am rapidly achieving dotage ! 🤦♂️

Lol , my take would be you can only rack the pump action so fast before you physically can’t do it any faster , where as if you’ve got the trigger pressure set so the wind from the wings of a passing bumblebee will set it off then the dayglow coloured shell suit wearing methhead running it could spam the bejesus out of the trigger so for all intents and purposes it’s running full auto ?

KSC/KWA guns may be ‘out of fashion’ but I can say from personal experience there bloody good guns , I’ve got a KSC M9 that’s 19yrs old (was the first new Airsoft gun I ever bought) and an 18yr old sig 226 that are both STILL functioning flawlessly !

So basically it’s not been used in over a year and he’s knocked 50quid off the price of buying a new one that actually has a warrantee with it ? OK moving on !
-
Yup as wise inbred country folk would say “sure is a perdy gun !” 😍
-
Have to say I’m a bit on the wall over this one , as has been mentioned not a great deal of info BUT to my untrusting nature it comes across more as a lack of knowledge as to what the fault is rather than the blatant bullshitery of the original advert ? 🤔
-
Basically that’s my exact set up for the past umpteen yrs when ever I can’t get Colman !😂👍 Yup any propane will do , just Coleman and Rothenberger are the two well known easily available brands . The rotten egg smell is simply added so you can smell it , Airsoft green gas For all intents and purposes is just propane without the detection agent , but it has had silicone oil added to it unlike bottles of ‘propane to burn’ hence you need to add a few drops of oil to the fill nozzle before you fill your mags . 👍
-
Then shorten them ? 🤔

😍😍🥴when are you starting production !

Can’t speak for other sites but my home site the player marshals are in addition to the ‘proper’ marshals and not subsidising there numbers , not there to control or police the game more than anything we work as a visible extra sets of eyes on the field (PM’s all wear a yellow armband for ID)obviously we can step in if the situation needs it (aggressive players , dangerous gameplay , etc) but on the whole we just feed info back to the ‘hi-vis shirts’ of anything we think they need to know . Sort of like the PCSO’s of Airsoft ! 😉 Yes do accept the fact you could get an environment of ‘them and us’ developing but ultimately your dealing with people taking part in a combat themed hobby that’s quite secretive and insular but also frequently has bursts of high adrenaline gameplay as part of it AND it is does have a much higher testosterone fueled atmosphere to it than a lot of other hobbies so you are going to get larger numbers of people working at these sites that have over inflated opinions of them selves so can be prone to going off on a bit of a power trip or just haven’t got very good people skills and do seem to congregate in clumps on the game field ? Never been a great fan of the ‘secret marshal’ idea my self , I feel there less of a deterrent to rule breaking than visible player marshals are . 👍
