Cue Michael Yon photo of the Rifles ….. Desert DPM dyed ‘green’ to allow for the mixed terrain of Afghanistan, and resulted in the introduction of MTP

Absolutely. We’ve agreed many times on disclaimers & excessive briefs, but in the context of filming ….. a number of years back the training on military urban sites kicked up a few gears, just when paintball & Airsoft games were having a surge of ‘special site’ events. An absolute rule was put into place that no video recording was to be made on a site, the rule was distributed in the lead up to the game, stressed in the brief - and of course immediately on game on a player walked past range staff attaching a head cam. (To be told in no uncertain terms to turn it off) On the Monday or Tuesday very irate calls circulated as footage appeared on YouTube. With a lot of luck (not for the culprit) the originator was known and made to remove the footage immediately His ‘excuse’ was the team mate in front of him had been the one told to switch off now, and not him. Only the swift action by event organiser allowed further use of the site that year … and onwards. Filming is allowed again, but was politically sensitive at the time

What they said up above……. Except that screenshots might have the opposite effect in some cases these days …. On my iPhone I’ve just tested out a photo & screenshotted it - original photo size 5.2mb, screenshot of it 12.3mb I use ‘image size’ to downscale images on my phone, and when my limit was low I did a first stab at deleting old unwanted image attachments then downsized others https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/image-size/id670766542

The proof of the pudding would be: 1) Would I be able to sign up? 2) Would I manage to make a purchase under its defence? I don’t play Airsoft I do get involved with Airsoft I could reasonably claim that any purchase I attempt would be for the purposes of Airsoft skirmishing at a suitably insured site * Except for the limited edition Agency twin Hitman pistol set: At my friendly retailer ….. Look at our shiney things Will you sell them to me No You know that I do run some airsoft? Yes You know that I could produce a complete game format, rules and structure reliant on those pistols in the next half an hour? Yes Would you sell them to me? No Would you believe me if I said I’ve become an airsofter? Collapsed in a hysterical fit

Not necessarily in the product area, but there were small US businesses who decided to stop UK sales due to the changes. Its a judgement call for any business. Is the administration and any other potential hassle with overseas sales worth the level business that it brings in? A small number of sales aren’t worth the expense of registering in foreign countries to handle VAT/sales taxes and then having to account for all the sales then pay the total at the relevant point in time

TikTok?

Tethering itself wouldn’t be a problem, but you noted that his data allowance isn’t up to much

We use some fancy things, but we use them as event organisers & give access to players (we might let players directly operate things or we might have staff operating them on behalf of players) If the site is happy then you can use your own - and you retain full liability Drones are a tricky one - it can be an offence to fly a drone over people, look into the types, sizes etc and permissions etc Its a bad thing when a drone gets shot down onto players (It’s also a bad thing for the player who shoots an event drone on camera being recognised by the operator and their unique balls being left embedded in the drones polystyrene body shell) The suitcase here gives players sight of drone and/or RC cameras and the switches to control devices carried by drone and/or RC car. Players are more likely to be allowed to drive the RC car then to fly the drone. Our ‘pilot’ would operate the drone We have various other gadgets to play with

For the underlying causes - they won’t be resolved until they are resolved Its a bad thing to have him played between the two of you and even worse to have him see you attempting to bypass her 1) Are the blockers explicit or implicit? On the basis of explicit being that she has placed blocks on words or implicit that she has put in place parental controls that are overarching with default words blocked or sites blocked due to their content settings If she has really made explicit blocks then it won’t be resolved without going through the issues and then having the limits eased If she has set implicit blockers then she may be willing to release some in the settings, or willing to give him authorised time with the controls turned off in her presence 2) alternatives such as tethering would bypass the blocks, but will kill his low data and be a cause of more problems between you all

There is also this: https://fabricland.co.uk/product/satin-habutae-faux-silk-fabric/ A metre each of about three or four colours will typically cost less than one armband Walk into a haberdashers with some sweet talk and they will probably cut you a range of arm bands

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

Does this qualify ? The Kill House, Battle Royale II Paintfest / Airfest 2017 A still pulled from video footage exiting from the smoke

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
