The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Well to honest mate after our little message chat my mind was made up , Cheers for all pointers my friend , will run it ‘as is’ to see how it pans out , mags I’m good (still got all the ones from my original JG👍) fett ? No not bothering I’m a single shot all the time player (can honestly count on one hand the amount of auto I’ve used in mths !) and I don’t really buy in to the whole ’faster trigger response’ gumph as far as I’m concerned the only fast response that has any effect on the game is from the player ! Yup soon as I saw it I did think “that’s one funky looking gun , I’m having it !” The rail ? I’m bit of a bodget and see what happens guy so not even having thought about it now you’ve shown me the ‘mini’ rail I shall make my own from the original ! A very big thank you for your sage advice , and if and when I do upgrade I shall most DEFINITELY be PM’ing you ! 😁 cheers bud . -

Brand new Jing gong M16A2 , actually bought it just for parts to use on an old and battered TM M16 restoration project but now it’s in my sweaty little mitts I think I may keep it as is , feel really nice and solid and the gearbox sounds lovely and crisp so think I’ll give it a run out at my next game day and see how it performs . me thinks I’ll be needing to spend even MORE money to get the TM back to its original state ! 🤦♂️ -

I don’t hide the fact I think most excuses for ‘needing’ to buy a RS scope as apposed to a Chinese knock off are just a crock of shit and the players that say so are full of it ! BUT that good sir is absolutely augasmic ! If I had the dosh spare I’d have one in a heart beat as well ! 😍 -

You saying about this has made me realise I haven’t clue where mine is ! I was given one in Saudi in ‘91 by a PJ from the 57th rescue sqd , they were based at the same med centre as me . Dam must find it now . -

If it floats your boat then Crack on my friend BUT I may be ‘politically incorrect’ to use this description these days but I’m old so if anyone is ‘offended’ tuff feces cupcake, but that has to be the gayest thing I have EVER seen associated with Airsoft !😳 you’d need a big orange curly wig and a pair of clown shoes to play with one of those attached to your gun ! 🤦♂️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 joking aside would think it’ll get very tired very quickly so hope it’s not expensive. 👍 -

PCS cut smock in OG , will go with pretty much any colour/pattern of rig I’ve got . thank you very much ! -
Is a shame the guy’s got financial problems and is having to sell his kit for this reason BUT why should the uk Airsoft community be his ‘crowd fund’er’ ? 2nd hand is 2nd hand no matter the ‘sob story’ so its most definitely a case of “jog on sunshine” !🤦♂️

I think you’ve totally missed my meaning/point bud , I WAS saying it should be open to everyone BUT if you’ve got any physical problem that can affect your mobility then your instantly at a disadvantage due to the ground conditions at most if not all airsoft sites and your more than likely to get left behind as the game moves around the site . Quick example I play mainly at black ops Cribbs and Portishead near Bristol both sites you are not going to be able to use 70-75% of these sites due to the terrain , and I can confirm this from personal experience , after having recurring knee problems following a motorbike accident that was only solved after surgery , I re-injured it tried playing but just physically could move around most of the site due to the terrain. This is the point I’m making nothing more and nothing else . 👍

As noble as the idea is (and it is , I’d love everyone who wants to have a go to be able too) even if manufacturers did start releasing equipment for the disabled to take part by the very nature of the sport it isn’t really that disability friendly when you think about it . Outdoor/woodland ; you’ve got structures/obstacles /uneven ground/dense undergrowth/low hanging bushes&trees and multiple terrain variations in a relatively small area . CQB ; Most are in disused industrial sites on multiple levels which have lots of hazards to anyone with even minimal movement , spatial awareness or disability problems . Plus you’ve got the game play it’s self , which from experience I find at outdoor games is quite mobile around the site so unless the player is happy with more of a ‘static’ role in the game then there’s a good chance you could feel ‘left behind’. CQB even if the site is physical disability friendly (like Strikeforce in Gloucester for example , one huge single level area) it’s still an incredibly fast paced game and unless you can move quickly then again you will miss out on the action due to it being so ‘fluid’ around the venue , plus with both types of sites you’ve more than likely going to have problems just getting to the site before you’ve even started the warm up game ! Whilst the strikeforce gamezone is disability friendly to access it you still need to be able to walk up a fire escape stairwell as its on the first floor , and i can’t remember ever going to a woodland site that had a proper car park with hard standing and metalled walkways to the safezone .

I’ve got a shit load of Scandinavian knives , everything from a 1&1/2inch frost carving knife right up to a monstrous Scrama from Varusteleka and many in between (even a good few I’ve made my self) there just excellent daily work knives . Always wanted a Ka-bar but couldn’t justify the price for a genuine one then found one couple of quid short of half price AND I was all over it like a tramp on a dropped kebab ! 😍 Yuk fecking yuk ! 🤦♂️ Smart arse ! 🤣🤣🤣 -

Good thinking Batman ! I’ve seen a couple at my two home sites and to be honest when you see a guy wearing a full gillie suit and carrying one of these has to be said he looks like a bit of a tool ! 🤣 but yea I like your idea would be perfect to strap on your back for those “ if only I had my sniper with me !” Shots .👍
