I’ve bought some pieces in an auction bundle, which includes this TM MP7 AEG I believe that I have a partially complete MP7, though untested Questions would be: Is there any practical problem with not having the barrel tip? (I believe that it has the glow BB adaptor) Assuming it is the glow adaptor, what should I look for? There is no battery, and I think it needs a particular battery (and therefore the right charger) Any advice would be appreciated As many of you know, I don’t play but occasionally run games. My options are; Get it up & running and use it for a ‘pick up gun’ for one of our event formats Offer up for sale for somebody else to sort out

Those could be valid shooters, but not VCRA defences You can go target shooting with an IF just as well as with a RIF - the law does not recognise the ‘immersion’ for target shooting @aiden UKARA / site membership ought to be verifiable with the site Legally you don’t need any evidence, but you as seller become liable to a major fine if the RIF you sell comes to the attention of the law and they wonder how Joe chavvie got hold of it You need to reasonably satisfy yourself that the buyer intends to use it for airsoft, and may need to prove that in court UKARA or site membership are winners Photos of them playing or a history of forum contribution* could be usable You could paint it into an IF and legitimise a sale - but if a RIF is worth selling then somebody will turn up who can show a defence *Note that I’m a regular forum contributor, but I don’t have a Defence, don’t play & don’t intend to play - and many of my posts say so - so don’t sell a RIF to me Most people on here are interested in playing But also beware of underage buyers - the reason they can’t show a defence might be because they are not eligible to a defence

I did mean to put up a link as well, but neglected that https://www.lawdepot.co.uk/law-library/faq/release-or-waiver-agreement-faq-united-kingdom/#.YicXyWSnwWO A ‘waiver’ is legally enforceable - as long as it’s found to be valid in court. e.g. a well written waiver protects both the site & players, and will stand appropriately in court to prevent or support a case A less well written ‘waiver’ can be found to be enforceable but parts of it might turn out to not mean what the author thought or certain elements are disregarded A badly written ‘waiver’ is just ripped apart in court and has no value at all - the site could end up liable for anything that a player chooses to sue for Note that ‘waivers’ can work in many directions - player A could sue player B, however it may also be that player A sues the site for the consequences of player B and the site has to go after player B afterwards * Will courts always enforce an activity waiver and release? Generally courts will respect the waiver agreement reached between the parties however in some circumstances a court may be unwilling to enforce a waiver agreement. This is especially the case in situations where they find: the agreement conflicts with public policy (i.e. parties performing essential services to the public are expected to fulfill their obligations to the public and cannot waive liability by using a release) the releasee's conduct amounts to gross negligence (i.e. the releasee cannot waive liability for conduct that rises to the level of gross negligence) the release contains ambiguous language (i.e. the document does not clearly and explicitly communicate the intention of terminating the releasee’s liability) the releasor is not aware of the release and cannot reasonably be expected to be aware of it (i.e. the waiver clause in the document appears in such a way that it is unlikely to be read by the releasor) the releasor lacks the capacity to contract away his or her--or another person's-claims (i.e. if the releasor is a minor or the releasor is lacking the mental capacity needed to sign the document) * after a motorcycle accident many years ago my solicitor turned to my passenger and told her that he is listing her damages to the van driver, but unless their insurance just pays out then she would have get another solicitor to sue me for me to sue the van driver After continually ignoring my solicitor they pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and then the insurance paid out fully —- and it was a much higher bill due to all the repeated solicitor letters - happily I wasn’t paying along the way, and he just kept telling me to not worry about the bill rocking up as the case was solid

A badly written waiver is worthless - for example - “Wing and a prayer enterprises are not liable for killing customers and don’t have to consider basic safety such as the bottomless pit” But a properly written waiver is valid such as “Safety conscious enterprises are not responsible for you ripping off all your gear and going full Rambo” Rather than the deceptive short name of ‘waiver’ the document is an agreement between the business and the customer that they both understand what is supposed to happen and both will fulfill their respective responsibilities

That’s a bottle top allowing you to drink through the GSR respirator …… but of course that did not exist in 1980

Not necessarily so these days Thanks to those who falsely declared in the past, regulations cover ‘pressure vessels’ as opposed to ‘pressurised’ If routes include air mail then they cannot carry pressure vessels It all comes down to the specifics of prohibited and restricted items, you need a method that handles it as restricted and to comply with the requirements

Whilst majorly attempting to avoid specifics, as discussed with a site owner once …… They had a booking from a particular group of stereotypes, and dreaded the level of management & marshalling needed whilst considering excuses to reject the booking without ramifications But on the day it was one of the best groups they have had - purely a group of people who wanted to enjoy a day out shooting each other along with fat wallets

My thoughts on that would be to consider inviting the local trading standards team over They love shops that stock goods from importers who don’t comply to UK standards

Airsoft Cardiff have sent their finest to support the Ukrainian effort

I have (almost) no problem with what people wear. Right now it would be in bad taste to fully dress up in a modern Russian load out. I don’t do full on dress up, but have played roles in events and given the choice I’ll opt for the underdog/ bad guy I’m also find of wood so have a selection of AKs (and SLR but sadly that’s the black polymer edition and not proper wood) In our Takgur Ghar series I would also take the Taliban/villager/Osama & zombie Osama roles I live in Salisbury, and around the corner from Novichock central, which brought a natural aversion to Putin, but to add to that I am a close friend to a particular family. (She isn’t the only British citizen that he’s murdered in the UK as collateral damage or an obstacle to his activities) Add on being a member of a forum that was heavily targeted by Putin’s trolls, both troll HQ & useful idiots I will never take on any Russian element again in a game environment But others are welcome to dress up how they like I have no issue with any Russian as a human being I have a major issue with a mayors clerk who saw the opportunity to tie up with the Russian mafia and got rich taking a cut from the oligarchs that he helped to get rich. He is now a dictator sitting on his pile of cash, getting revenge on anyone who fooled his beloved KGB/GRU and trying to bring back his glorious USSR - provided its him on top of the pile

I doubt that there is a single member of this forum who should be allowed out of the house with wallet and without adult supervision

Or stood in the shed sorting through old pyro separating the good from the battered, damaged strikers etc before taking them off for a ‘safe’ bang (the ones that have suffered from battering, or failed but not left in a field to be picked up by kids) One of which having previously been an old school paper mache style BB grenade but only had the strip of striker tip, fuse & bang remaining Straight to the ‘dispose’ pile But touching along the workbench as passing it over…… and Hiss…… Followed by prompt dropping Followed by looking at the stack of pyro besides a hissing fuse Pick up the hissing fuse Turn around to throw out the door behind Glance at the open kitchen door behind the shed Drop fuse Stand on fuse Feel thud Be thankful for not stepping out in bare feet

Do you mean like a player who puts their gun down against a tree, throws some smoke getting the attention of the photographer, posing for a photo shoot then ambling along to catch up with the action? I have never done that, not ever, honest

I have some terrible news for you: Forums are social media too

On signs, disclaimers, web site rules, verbal briefs etc …… nobody pays full attention & you cannot assume. People don’t read the part of the disclaimer that says that you are signing to confirm that you have read it. At our first ever event the site planned to use their standard disclaimer - which was aimed at rental players, not own gunners. So I went through the disclaimer with management & discussed what can and cannot be changed - particularly in the terms of site insurance. I could allow players to have guns in the safe zone - and therefore add all the rules on ensuring they are safe I couldn’t allow players to self fill due to insurance terms on the fill station - which caused a dilemma in complying to a new event organizers collective set of rules which included air safety rules with training - I was permitted to run training, issue passes (valid for a year) and but not allow self fill for the rest of the day (I expected that nobody would take up the training - but they did, and that allowed the next organizer to run a smaller session of only those that hadn’t been to our event) Safety must be covered along all methods - and therefore not be reams of paper and hours of waffle Core rules should be repeated, no matter how many regulars are there Particularly at our events as we have ‘standard’ rules, our preferred rules and also specifics for how we want to run that event or mission - we’re probably trying out a rule or respawn option - we like barrel tags/knife kills & surrenders but there are specifics on what is an enforced rule (tag/knife) and what is an option (surrender) and also in certain formats we don’t allow them such as our Battle Royale format has no surrenders permitted (though I permitted one surrender when two players met face to face seconds into the session rather than force a 2 inch kill)

Lovely officer She reminds me of the police officers who were caught speeding and went to court on the basis of either the lack of correctly spaced miniature reminder signs or that the 30mph speed sign was the smaller reminder diameter and not a full size sign. They got off on the technicality, but I like to think that they suffered other consequences such as a stern talking to on the values & standards expected of the law - without coffee & biscuits

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
