Note that it’s not necessarily failure to take his hit, it’s just as likely to be selected elimination - (empowered) exercise staff will allocate elimination and also disregard elimination for the purposes of an exercise Imagine a game day when it’s entirely up to the whim of Marshall’s whether you’re in or out…….. and try not to say that there are sites like that already ! ….. and on a timely basis note some of the references made to the situation at the time that the video was made, and contrast the current situation with General Breedloves comments about Russian ‘exercises’ that turn into invasions

Are you a peakey blindee?

I ran up to a building once, no noise from inside so I stuck my head in the window At the same moment that a barrel poked out of the window (Just for info - I was carrying a radio with vox enabled) I exclaimed, jumped backwards and took a shot to the chest As I appeared in the safe zone, and told my team mate (with his handset on the bench) what had just happened ….. everyone present let’s me know “we heard” You replied to my reply too quick i was hoping the above tale would merge Another accident tale takes place on camera on our 2nd ever event at approx 0:35: The gunman had in fact been an ‘almost original’ of the team when forming in 2007/2008 before dropping out of the game for life things He played that game in 2010, and we ‘met again’ later that year when Oblivion opened (which became Ironsight) Its thanks to finally getting him on board that enabled his tech skills to put our game ideas into practice

An accident

Safety wise, hip firing has a slight edge over sight firing Look down the sight and you’re focusing yourself which could give tunnel vision and prevent you from seeing the dog walkers strolling into shot Fire from the hip and as long as your eyes are open then you’re looking at the area that you’re firing at Blind firing is shooting without looking at what you’re shooting at

My first thought is to wonder what has happened to that cylinder? Are they marks on the neck? Bad picture? Gougues in the neck? Assuming the cylinder is sound, and has a decent life still, then pretty much any HPA gauge. Reputable airsoft shops that do HPA or paintball shops will generally have a gauge The gauges thread will be standard (as long as the gauge is intended for an HPA cylinder on the high pressure side) at 1/8” NPT thread You want the dial to go up to the bottles pressure, so assuming it’s a 3000psi aluminum then you can put on anything from 3000psi to 6000psi If it’s a fibre 4500psi then I’m more concerned about the neck, and you would want anything from 4500psi to 6000psi (You need to stop filling at the appropriate level so that means if you fit a 5000 or 6000psi gauge then you must stop long before the red) I’d say to call your preferred retailer and ask if they have gauges eg Super5ives don’t list them, but Chris is a good first call as he has a background playing in both airsoft and paintball https://shop.super5ives.com/shop/category/8-air-co2.html https://www.justpaintball.co.uk/search?type=product&q=*Gauge* When you add the cost of a gauge plus postage you’re pretty much at half the price of a new bottle itself Avoid unknown random gauges on eBay or from China etc …. and if you do change it ….. drain the air fully !!!!!! Ideally fit to a remote line and leave it open

I would say that either: 1) They used a mode against the rules 2) They are fast on the trigger Bounce, multiple modes etc are/were prevalent in paintball True ‘bounce’ is the physical or electronic double firing per trigger pull: For example recoil, a worn sear or badly adjusted trigger/bolt system cause an occasional second shot With micro switches etc a circuit could still have low power come through and be misinterpreted as another pull Therefore you get a ‘debounce’ setting to fine tune how sensitive the circuit is for the next shot When you restrict full auto, burst etc and the rate of fire of an electronically controlled trigger then when players are up against a semi auto mode or mechanical trigger then a player can pull their trigger as quickly as they like, and provided the bolt etc and next round is ready then a human being can pull the trigger more quickly than a restricted electronic mode In my opinion binary triggers and bounce modes are worse than full auto or burst modes In semi I have to keep pulling the trigger and everything stops when I stop Even in an ‘assisted’ semi (ramping in paintball) I would need to achieve a physical rate of trigger pull, then as long as I keep pulling the trigger then a mode kicks in and fires at a preset maximum rate of fire In burst then for example a burst if 3 shots are fired when the trigger is pulled In full auto a constant rate of fire continues until the trigger is released With a binary trigger you have lost control of your shooting: Pull - it shoots Release - it shoots again I could fire one shot, then see something that makes me stop. I cannot release my finger without firing another shot

This is a question that comes up regularly, but doesn’t get completed The poster on the recent thread below says they will update us as it progresses Legally you can import RIFs into the UK for the purpose of Airsoft skirmishing at insured sites. By law you do not require UKARA membership - that is the best known scheme to document proof that a player is a skirmisher If you are already a player overseas and intend to play at insured sites here then you are legal - but might not be able to prove it Look at the other thread, think of ways that you can prove you are a skirmished, contact Border Force etc, and let us know how you get on If you’re not confident that you can prove it to Border Force then look for other options such as making arrangements with an Airsoft site, shop, an established player (that knows you) or wait until you are here and have played to attain UKARA then have them sent to you

The MI7 is OK, but they are just basic rental level goggles. Hard plastic frame. They are marketed under both Valken, Annexe & Sly brands The Dye I4s have been a favourite in airsoft, and the I5 is the latest iteration These are a premium goggle with a soft rubber frame, and the Dye family tends to have a smaller footprint which can be good for kids, but bad for those with big heads or chins The best thing to do is to try some goggles on I have a pair of the MI7s - which are cheap & cheerful, but they comfortably fit me I used the Dye I3 pros which worked for me, but exposed my forehead, chin and also my mouth when talking/shouting. I’ve been shot in the forehead and mouth quite a few times The I4s are smaller than I3s. My preferred goggle on the market is the GI/VForce Grills. There is finally a new Grills v2 out, I’m not convinced by the ‘new features’ to consider the v2 a better option, as opposed to just a new version. The grills design has been around for many years and has stood the test of time well, they usually have a whole range of colour combinations which often meant good discounts as new season releases were announced. The v2 could mean a price drop on some v1 stocks The best answer is for him to try some goggles on and see what feels good to him

I think I may be able to translate this into English: Creating edited videos with sight target hit markers is as bad as shouting “You’re hit!, you’re hit, I say marshal, that chap over there is hit and is playing on” and also as bad as playing on once you have been hit & eliminated ….. and … discuss ….

Here’s a unicorn on the horizon Happy to help

I’m going to say no, because: 1) I don’t think that mesh is safe at all, due to the nature of mesh 2) You then have the issue of trying to secure mesh ‘lenses’ adding the new problem of total failure by knocking mesh out of the eye hole Respirator lenses can be replaced with suitable lenses provided that the replacement meets appropriate impact standards, is the right thickness for the eye holes, and is securely fitted whilst being able to remain in situ during any impact A ‘compromise’ is to fit impact lenses or mesh as well as you can to the respirator plus to always wear suitable impact glasses type eye protection under the respirator which introduces new problems of enough space between face & respirator, mangling your face with glasses on and trying to put the respirator on, more steaming up and being uncomfortable

Based on this they were rivals https://radiocontrol.fandom.com/wiki/Tokyo_Marui But that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t cross collaboration, identical supplier factories, blatent copying or takeover of elements Even further back in the early 80s I was building the original Airsoft model kits Some of them still exist in the attic at varying states after hard use

I have retailer loyalty, based on the relationships I have with retailers. But I still use multiple retailers and shop around. A retailer that attends events that I attend, provides customer services and technical support etc ….. and fits my wallet I’ll avoid a retailer that just sells, undercutting those who add something that I value

By painting a 2 tone you are modifying into a RIF, which is a VCRA offence. But in the current legislation can be tied to a VCRA defence In the original VCR bill it was an explicit offence with no defence

Her core business is in collectables/niche items, so the buy/sell at 0 is a ‘no loss, loss leader’, ensuring that she has that item for her regulars She may also be taking those items new and holding them for when the collector market ups the price once they aren’t available Theres no intention to sustain at zero profit, but to sell her main items for profit and keep building the customer base.

1870 as a date may have some context from that being the time that firearms licencing began in the UK, as well as it being a time that general design was changing - which means there are those that look ‘modern’ and precede 1870, but also those that look ‘historic’ and were still developed after 1870 Its self preservation by the seller to require a VCRA defence, which does not necessarily have to be UKARA As long as you are an adult you can buy any airsoft gun - but they may only sell in bright colours

To quote a friend during a Super5ives tournament at Ambush as airsofters arrived to play in the woods …. ”They have women in Airsoft now???!!!”

AliExpress is perfectly fine. Its a multi trader outlet from China Delivery time will either be slow or surprisingly fast. Some common goods get warehoused in the UK which can account for some of the quicker deliveries Horror stories would normally be that it takes so long, it arrives broken, something is missing or the wrong item is supplied. This is where ‘customer services’ comes in, via an automated bot: Choose ‘I have a problem with my order’ Then choose what’s wrong from the list or ‘other’ Upload some pictures showing the items and label Wait a moment for ‘checking your order’ Choose whether or not the offered selections suit you: Full / part refund, replacement etc I have only failed once via the bot - because they had sent exactly what I had ordered (It was a multi option item and I picked the wrong one) You can get the same things via eBay, Amazon etc which I will use if I want it by a date. Via Amazon you’re dealing with Amazons policy, so I had to print the free returns label and wait for tracking to clear until the refund processed Via eBay you’re dealing with the seller - so the service will be good or shit. On one item the seller was perfectly fine and instantly refunded. Many Chinese sellers are under a government trade scheme and get free postage, that is partly why it’s so cheap (as well as the low wage/working standards etc) This is also why they usually don’t want returns because it will cost more than the item value If a buyer is taking the piss and constantly claiming for refunds then the ‘customer service’ will end Ive had a few mates say how shit and rubbish the service is, one won’t order from China because he had the wrong item once - did he complain - no, he thinks he might or might not have sent a message but can’t remember, but he didn’t instigate a claim via the support process Customer service is much more than getting it right first time. The real core to customer service is dealing with what has gone wrong

That’s a tale that gets told, but is inter regiment rivalry - often attributed to the Engineers due to the close associations between engineers and gunners, and there are a number of slight difference between RE & RA that get attributed to a mark of shame, but are just inter regiment banter Colenso is often chosen as the shameful event but is a battle honor for the RA, and they took half of the VCs of the battle - you don’t get awarded both a VC and a mark of shame https://www.7fd-regt-raa-association.com/Documents/A Lanyard Coloured White.DOC

Spot on - imports at trade price will help business, which is partially supposed to be the point of import tariffs. But buy & resell whilst having to up the price will just assist in harming the retailer in the long term as customers will go back to finding cheaper direct alternatives (and either succeeding or being stung) In my friends shop she does sometimes buy in at retail and sell for zero profit - if she can’t get that thing on trade, when big chains are at the front of the queue, or she’s only got a couple of customers who will want it then she’s facilitating her regulars as a ‘specialist’ when mainstream retail have touched on a specific item

Far too much alcohol consumed currently, so forum posting is not really the best plan….. But a Phil Campion mention can’t go without comment As you know his name then for you this is probably already known….. Phil Campion has been called out as a Walt - he is not a walt There are some tall stories that come from Phil Campion or are attiburted to him - those are the ones backed up by documented fact. The less believable the tale is, the more factual it turns out to be
