Basically what they said up above UKARA membership establishes the players valid purpose in line with the VCRA It is a scheme that was established to protect the industry from closing and protect retailers from prosecution Possession is not an offence Purchase without a valid purpose isn’t an offence, but the seller would be committing an offence Modification without a valid purpose is an offence, modifying with a valid purpose probably isn’t an offence Painting while not having UKARA membership means that either: You have no valid purpose - offence committed Or you do have a valid purpose - no offence committed Pew pew, that’s the sound of da UKARAPolice

He needs to speak up (I’m in London, they need to smooth the tube tracks, and have 1990s ear drums etc) For the muc off I doubt it is suitable for gun gears as it’s intended for more heavy duty bike gears in dirty muddy conditions For the video on silicone lube he confirms in the notes that he’s learned more since then Different lubes have different properties and different parts have different needs. Then add on your servicing regime If you strip and clean constantly you can use a different system then if you are going to do so less often The wrong lube that isn’t cleaned off regularly enough will collect the tiniest amounts of dust & grit and will grind away at your parts It will be best to use a combination of oil and grease on different parts, and at a suitable viscosity that’s going to move smoothly but also stay sufficiently in place on the parts - (lube helps against friction but if it’s too fluid then it ‘flies’ away and you have bare metal/plastic again) Traditional oils kill o rings, so you will lose efficiency and risk leaks. Silicone doesn’t But every type and every recipie have their own advantages and disadvantages

…. Other budget goggles are available …. Though quite a few are similar as there’s not a lot of difference in basic head/chin design

I wouldnt call you a diva for not wanting to wallow in human waste

I bought a set of MI7s just because of the colour scheme. They fitted my head well, so are comfortable and good on ventilation My preferred goggles are VForce Grillz/Grills and I have a few sets. (For a number of years one retailer was selling certain colour schemes very cheaply at the end of the season) Dye won the market with their advertising and team associations, especially with the i4. Their marketing of ‘lowest profile’ won them the market share even to heads that it gives a bad fit. That then transferred to speedsoft Any ‘premium’ model has the key features of soft rubber, soft ears, anti fog (but never truly no fog in all situations), good straps - but everyone is unique in needs & preference My main recommendations on fog avoidance are dual pane, factory coating, don’t put on any treatment other than water & microfibre (until you have to when the original coating loses functionality), clear ventilation and ideally foam that seals / directs your breath away from lens as much as possible

…. who cuddles & who cries ?

Did it look something like this ?

The art of marketing and building your customer base

Keep lights to a minimum. Monentary switches, red filters etc And absolutely do not light up full beam behind your faction general wearing black Angel wings as he sneaks into enemy HQ …. but as noted above there are night games and night games Some night games are full on night battles, others are summer evenings with a sunset Been there, done that (Day and night) And those both ways are: 1) ooh pretty 2) I can see exactly where you’re shooting from

Chrono rules should be clear, and the penalty should be fair Zero tolerance is a problem area, especially in this case where the zero tolerance was for a BB that was not in use by the player, and there is no apparent sneakyness of the player to use the offending BB Shouldn’t the owner have gone home as they had the offending BBs? The end goal is that players fire BBs within a set limit. If the rules are for any of a number of sizes then the site should be testing at all sizes. In paintball a number of years ago we created a set of rules for the mix of HPA and CO2 use. The legal energy limit in foot pounds or joules translates to a velocity of a little over 300fps. As an industry the common limit is 280fps, but at competitive tournaments 300fps is permitted. Under a Scenario common rule set we defined the rules as: Standard Chrono Limits 280 FPS for markers running on HPA. Minimum of three shots over the chrono with all three shots registering below the limit. 250 FPS for markers running on CO2. Minimum of three shots over the chrono with all three shots registering below the limit. 250 FPS for games run exclusively indoors. The lower CO2 limit was to allow for spiking. Chrono from a steady state at 250 and a spike may occur within 280 If I spot checked a CO2 player at 260 etc then I would allow that for a spike - but I would still require a pause and rechrono - if the 3 shots were not with 250 then it’s back to the safe zone for sorting out. Players we’re also advised to keep checking throughout the day, and I’d have my eye out to pick on players as the day warmed. Going to the chrono station has full tolerance - that’s where checking and adjusting should take place. But if you spot me in game walking towards you with a chrono and you sprint back to the chrono station then I’m not tolerant

Alternatively ….. it’s only taken 5 years for ‘internet advice’ to get a right answer

I think that the model may be PMR legal, but there’s a lot about that get sold in PMR frequencies but aren’t fully compliant If it’s set to PNT frequencies, and only programmable within those. Plus power limited and can’t have the aerial replaced for greater range etc then they are PMR compliant Those that just get a smaller aerial and programmed aren’t truly PMR compliant But of course it’s not a problem if nobody is caught / prosecuted. But there are great PMRs out there for a good price. A licence is cheap enough if someone does want the extra range and different frequencies.

Many will suggest Baofengs, but for legal use they require a licence. PMR handsets are on free to use frequencies. Any PMR handset can talk to any PMR handset

Loose lips sink ships ….

She wasn’t a prostitute (angry cop does clarify that part way through the video - but possibly needed to start with that theme to illustrate a point) There are a few leaks / or releases of information on the whole subject. I believe that the first outing was the ‘leak’ of a social media message that a large number of personnel have had to be advised to pop to the clinic, due to an individual who had been signed into camp numerous times (31 sound familiar?) Then the videos appeared (either due to circulation that eventually ends up in a leak or due to the attention from the leaked message and getting their 15 minutes of fame) The videos have nothing ‘wrong’, but distribution/publishing without permission could be an offence, otherwise it’s just bad privacy & ‘bringing into disrepute’ But the outcome of their being pulled from deployment is not purely down to this incident. Theres more to it from previous issues in the unit, and unless the letter was officially released CGSs letter has also been leaked to the public domain

I remember those volume limiters in village halls etc …. Happy days

@Lozart @Rogerborg Without going into a quote edit session …. What these guys just said A site manages to run under the criteria within their risk assessment, associated mitigations and the insurance premium that comes with them The disclaimers signed state that players understand what’s happening and agree to comply In the event of an accident the liability is not offset by any content signed up to in the disclaimer, but it’s factored in If John Smiths actions injure Fred Bloggs then Fred’s first point of call is the site The NHS will pick out the start of it, then Fred will be seeking private follow up treatment. Ideally the sites insurance will pay out, and the NHS could pursue costs as well (I even received a bill once from the Highways agency for clearing the road following an accident - handed it to my solicitor and I could forget about it) John Smith could be pursued by the sites insurers - which flags the potential need for personal insurance in case you’re found liable

Lady Winwoods Maggot* AKA the Maggots, at the back garden of The Avon, Salisbury. The drummer had a problem, quite a big problem, if I recall correctly he was there for the first song and the last song (plus encores) but disappeared inbetween. The moment they discover that their four piece had become a trio: After a while I made the periodic trip to the urinals, to meet him exiting. He had not been well, however as drummers are well known for their gentile and clean living nature he had cleaned all traces and left an immaculate bowl - though heavily packed with toilet paper and water line up to the brim. * in their words: Since 1993 Lady Winwoods Maggot have travelled afar spreading their distorted gospel. A unique, anarchic sound regurgitating traditional transatlantic music, blended with their own material. From dark tragic songs to the satirical and ridiculous interspersed with instrumentals. Incorporating Mandolin, Banjo, Guitar, Bass and Drums Lady Winwoods Maggot channel THE DEVILS’ MUSIC!

I’m with @Rogerborgon mitigating the less common potential problem If it’s foreseeable then it needs to be balanced Back in the day it was mk9s for everything, then mk5s, mk3s, and onto thermobarics and different recipes & card/paper roll pattern for various combinations of fast/slow detonation, volume/flash etc In paintball the rules have always been that goggles are to be worn as designed with no modification, with chin strap fitted etc. But players put in a second head strap and cut off or don’t fit the chin strap. The extra head strap if fitted properly tightens the goggle. But if fitted improperly tensions the back of the head, and causing the goggles to fly away if making a superman dive into a tournament snake or running and tripping on a tree root. Rare and unlikely - but as photographer I’ve watched too many marshals jumping onto a mask less player - and failed to take the photo worrying about if they will land before balls hit But it took the freak accident of two players to pop around an inflatable, poke barrel into face and flick goggles off. The damage was ‘only’ a circular cut below the eye This then prompted enforcement of chin straps - for a couple of seasons It’s been noted that the discussion is about tag rounds but not mortars. The relevant point is the projectile. What is the risk of that projectile, on its potential flight? The same stands for a mortar - which isn’t directed, so you can argue that if it’s unobstructed on the way up then it’s ‘fine’ on the way down …… but that’s good to depend on it’s mass … does it carry a payload? what could it do to head/face protection?

An alternative headline would be: ”British police don’t shoot teenager following reports of man with gun”

What would Ronnie Pickering do?

Should have gone to the Baron, and decapitate with a ninja beret

@Mr. No_Face For a real life situation that has occurred …… Keep facing the gobby chavs, side & back step making space, keeping arms down and talking calmly As space is running out, step forward, press palms ahead, change tone of voice Didn’t die a horrible death
