If it’s this, then alledgedly he was using the wrong shells

Do keep your full face and pack it when you play, just in case, as you can get denied on the day and it’s preferable to have your own then the well used rental Old leathery skin isn’t totally immune either This wasn’t mine - just from wiki. But it’s the spitting image of mine which suddenly flared up with a touch of students elbow I don’t do well in heat, and prefer to be in a t-shirt or light top …. But at one very hot tournament that I was photographing, during the morning captains brief the head referee added clarification that all players must wear full arm coverage, so I asked just to clarify … “But I’m fine like this?” in my official event media wife beater vest….. “No, everyone else will just winge” So I was stuck sweating in double layers

Can I have one ?

RIFs aren’t toys under a certain power, it’s airsoft guns (RIFs/IFs that are exempted from other firearms legislation under amendments in the Policing and crime act. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/3/part/6/crossheading/firearms/enacted (5)After section 57 insert— “57AException for airsoft guns (1)An “airsoft gun” is not to be regarded as a firearm for the purposes of this Act. (2)An “airsoft gun” is a barrelled weapon of any description which— (a)is designed to discharge only a small plastic missile (whether or not it is also capable of discharging any other kind of missile), and (b)is not capable of discharging a missile (of any kind) with kinetic energy at the muzzle of the weapon that exceeds the permitted level. (3)“Small plastic missile” means a missile that— (a)is made wholly or partly from plastics, (b)is spherical, and (c)does not exceed 8 millimetres in diameter. (4)The permitted kinetic energy level is— (a)in the case of a weapon which is capable of discharging two or more missiles successively without repeated pressure on the trigger, 1.3 joules; (b)in any other case, 2.5 joules.”

@RogerborgI think that @Hazzamight need to ask the site about their rules …. @hazza As a combination of the fact that I’m a paintballer, being familiar with the medical history of an American who goes by the name of ‘One eye’, and having both witnessed and heard many tales of Marshall’s getting BBs either wedged into the side of their glasses type eye protection, or getting inside the eye area and also having seen the result of ‘high jinks’ of dry firing with co2 blasting dust into the eye …….. I’m always going to recommend full face goggles. As an alternative in airsoft I’ll then recommend a second option of ski goggle type eye protection, provided it meets impact standards and also seals around the eye area. As you want to wear a helmet look at low profile goggles such as Dyes, which are designed for small profiles (But as with all goggles depends on your head size & shape - youngsters may have small heads which render the Dye family as ‘standard’ rather than small But ultimately - ask the site that you intend to play at, as everyone’s rules vary

As long as it’s put together properly, and depending on the type of strap A full on, multilayered, thick MOLLE strap will pretty much stay put as soon as it sees the base, but will bring on swearing to cold fingers attempting to get some movement in the strap to attempt a weave. But a cheap chinese airsoft / paintball MOLLE strap will float away at the slightest breeze, and the uneducated will be seen with flapping pouches due to the failure to weave —— unless they fly away after meeting the first bush All these systems are just that, a load carrying system. The best could be a well stitched purpose built rig, configured for the individual and role. (Cue tailoring shops around all garrisons in the UK constructing/securing custom webbing systems) But that relies on the role staying the same, or multiple rigs ready for each role. Cue the change of name from webbing to load carrying system, and ALICE being one of many steps between old school slip on pouches with belt & yoke webbing rigs to (almost) full modularity under MOLLE - until the next systems

Beat me to my look around & re-edit

That ‘free’ options gone then, and with a quick search around ….. under new management, associated to a site and both airsoft & paintball web shops closed

The ‘law’ doesn’t say that under 18s are to specifically wear full face protection. Site rules and their liability insurance require full face protection. Safety standards in require compliant eye protection, but in airsoft that is the minimum standard and sites/risk assessments & mitigation and insurers are allowing over 18s a level of self responsibility In paintball there are long established standards which went from “this is a new thing and there is no safety standard, but we don’t want to be sued, so you must wear eye protection and try to avoid shooting heads in case it comes off” to attaching face shields, and ultimately setting international standards of paintball protective goggles which cover the eyes, face & ears and chin straps Your question should be directed to the sites that you play at …. And be prepared to get one answer in advance and to get a different answer when you turn up and try to play

There is no major drama - all you want to do is play, and you are entitled to do so. No retailer would be committing an offence in selling to you. Purchasing is not an offence JustCos is dodgy, but that’s their problem, and it’s a major stretch to say that the retailer would get caught and bring you into a conspiracy charge. Personally it’s a waste of £20 of your money to pay for JustCos in order to buy something that you can legally buy Do a Google search for airsoft guns to find more UK retailers, choose your weapon and try to check out. I’m not going to tell anyone what one, but (the last time I looked) one retailer has a tick box where most others would have a box for you to type in a UKARA number etc

All of the following assumes that you are over the age of 18 1) You won’t be breaking the law as a RIF purchaser as your intent is to play ‘airsoft skirmishing as an insured site’ 2) JustCOS is a made up scheme. It costs you money to sign up, and it claims to provide liability insurance to Cosplayers Liability for what? Their site does not go into detail or provide copies of the policy The retailer that offered JustCos aligns/aligned with a Comicon who’s Cosplay rules forbid RIFs Cosplay is not a legitimate defence under the VCRA. However ‘professional cosplayers’ are more likely to qualify under the VCRAs theatrical defence - they get paid to turn up to comicons, and (to the best of my knowledge are a business or society carrying liability insurance, which has to be shown to the organisers*) An airsofter that cosplays can legally use their RIF for a costume, but won’t comply with comicon entry rules 3) A retailer that sells under JustCos is commiting an offence under the VCRA … UNLESS the buyer is a legitimate ‘theatrical’ cosplayer in which case they don’t need JustCos 4) An airsofter who buys JustCos to buy a RIF is commiting fraud, and potentially are conspiring with the retailer However, ultimately nobody in any power cares - until a situation occurs But members of the airsoft community care that the situation could backfire on airsoft. To date the ‘situations’ that have occurred have not been dealt with as a VCRA offence JustCos has existed for years, some retailers have been doing dodgy ‘defences’ - which is their problem if they ever get pulled and gave to produce the documentation to validate RIF sales Theres actually a different retailer in the UK that provides a tick box when you purchase - the buyer just declares that they intend to play airsoft skirmishing at an insured site. No fraud (unless the buyer lies) Complies with the wording of the law It’s the retailers problem if they are ever held to account and need to justify due diligence on their side * a while back a cosplayer came on here asking how they could buy a particular pistol as a RIF. Primarily the answer was that they can’t under cosplay status But I eventually put 2&2 together linking their posts to an celebrity impersonation / entertainer ….. they are a business, do professional appearances etc and have all the relevant business & liabilty insurance - they were able to just buy under the theatrical defence

Yes, it works for me (However I don’t think that I had the problem in the first place)

How about a drum mag?

As there were no inflatables in the previous picture, have another one

Yep - Nerf ‘laser’ infra red It will be a ‘Nerf Laser ops Pro Deltaburst’ https://youtu.be/RlseDWS2u5M I know this because a short while ago I picked up a pair of the pistols at auction in a bundle, and gave them to a friends nephew - then a couple of weeks later I picked up a bundle of more pistols and a couple of the rifles. For a bit of run around laser tag fun they are very good, and can be used independently or with an an app and Bluetooth - then you get to keep scores (as long as the Bluetooth keeps connected) Southampton University Paintball & Airsoft university used laser tag fir some freshers experience days … Tournament style isn’t my thing, but for a few years I became a series photographer as a result of supporting some buddies ‘once’ which turned into ‘regularly’, and at the freshers day photographed above I was due to play my first competitive tournament so between sessions I was out in the inflatables with last minute practice. I wouldn’t want to encourage someone into becoming ‘one of those’ types of speedsofter - but I would always recommend having a go, bring the best parts of all mindsets into your game

I know what you have there. Let’s allow everyone else to work it out

…. And knock off goggles Perhaps after recent years with dodgy imported lenses being exposed the Chinese have a surplus goggle mountain that’s being offloaded to Russia

6, 7 & 8 Rifles are the Reserves 6 = South West / Exeter 7 = London & west of London 8 = Midlands and Northerners If he was there up until 2014 he was TA, from 2014 Army Reserve

As others have said the GoPro is the market leader, but as you’ve said it also has the price to go with it Your underlying problem that I’ve taken from your post is that you have lost trust in reliability of your current camera. Were you able to get to the bottom of the original failure ? Eg did it just record the next time with no change, or did reformatting / changing the card fix it? Is there a possible mismatch between the camera and the remote? Eg you had hit record on the remote and it indicated that it was recording, but were unaware that the camera was showing an error instead ? 1) see if you can resolve and regain trust in your current camera 2) I can’t recommend any current cameras, being out of date. But 1080p is good enough to you, as others have said you would notice a difference with better sensors/chipsets etc, but you would probably find it harder to restrict yourself down to 1080p on action cameras now - aim for 4K, and potentially choose a lower setting for your ‘optimum’ of file size, compression, processing speed etc - other factors will affect quality of results such as performance in light vs dark and whether you’re moving between environments 3) if you have accessories already then consider those for a similar body, battery etc 4) if you’ve resolved the recording failure but you’re still lacking in trust then relegate your current camera to number 2 as a barrel cam, and get another as a head cam etc - more angles, less chance of zero footage, but also more editing time

There is a ‘real life’ 9 bang stun type grenade: Possibly what was used here: Is used here: Somebody could have acquired one, or someone could have developed one. …. Just because something isn’t meant to be on the civilian market it doesn’t necessarily mean a civilian hasn’t got hold of one …

Presumably this video which is also on Youtube No captions to translate, but he doesn’t sound too impressed. He may be directly or indirectly referring to airsoft, lack of quality or just the lack of any armour and just mag pouches ….. which may or may not fit issued magazines Its not surprising though, with the kit donated to Ukraine from around the world and for Russia the combination of kit lost over the last 7 months and the sudden major conscription.

That’s a girlie …. Unless I assumed gender wrongly

Cosplayer spotted at UK CGFs Exeter Comic Con & gaming festival This monster of a weapon can’t be an IF under the VCRA due to the non compliant colour scheme. But is it a RIF?

Very strange, as you say the offence was the same no matter how it’s classified …. And now we effectively have precident

As the desired effect has taken place, and the OP is a ‘youth of today’ and may not have had the benefit of an education in quality music by a knowledgeable mentor ….. Two tone is both a generic term for a genre of music and the primary record label responsible for nurturing British Ska bands and bringing in the occasional resurgence of the genre https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Tone_Records The black and white branding was cheap and cheerful, as well as symbolising a firm British Ska value of black & white integration. This was based on Jamaican ska music arriving in the UK with 1950s Jamaican migration to the UK (and also merchant sailors bringing it home), Jamaican ska in the UK merged with local genres such as punk, new wave etc and also entwined reggae & ska The UK flavour gained further popularity with 2nd generation Jamaican immigrant and their British peers. It was particularly popular with the skinhead movement (which does not equate to the National Front types wearing the same fashion) At a ska gig you would find black & white skinheads, (plus the odd NF skinhead who may ‘tolerate’ the blacks at the gig, but kick their heads in the next day) This is England illustrates the taking over of skinhead styles by the National Front, with scenes between main characters referencing their younger days as close friends sharing parents Jamaican Ska then falling apart with the rise of the NF Here’s some two tone ….
