    IMO safety trumps disability.

     

    You can be accommodating as possible but sometimes places have to say no.

     

    Im 17.5 stone, and too heavy to do skydiving. But I’m not going to kick up a fuss and then go splat into a puddle. If you’ve got no arms, you can’t race in F1 as you can’t get out the car if it catches on fire.

     

    Similarly, if this person was having an episode or not able to control what they were doing (widespread generalisation) that put other players at risk - if that’s game rules like ignoring MEDs or more real life and getting physical with other players - then for the safety of other people then they should be banned.

     

    Playing the disabled card could just be a dick mood. Same way Tyson Fury and Joe Marler always act like dicks then go “muh mental health”

    The day I ever consider paying more than 20 quid for a sling is the day I get locked up in the nuthouse 🤪

     

    Viper VX sling for about £15.

     

    Good balance of cheap enough, but functional (slingster clone) and made well enough not worrying if the clips will fall off every time the day ends in Y

    That makes my wee 20 mile round trip to Airsoft World to pick up a flash hider for my ghm9 and a new speed loader feel a bit underwhelming 😂

     

    It’s surprising just how different their available kit is over in the far east, not to mention the prices!

    Nice haul, I trust you will be visiting more stores whilst over there?


    Indeed. Visiting repmart and echigoya next week to grab half a dozen akx mags (for anticipation of actually getting an AK at a later date)

     

    Osaka has more shops IMO with a wider variety. Tokyo has a lot of your “standard” stuff albeit everything you ever need from bushings to barrels. Osaka has some really cool shops like SFBC and Gurkha which has loads of 2nd hand lovely stuff at such good prices, and brand new things that are only just on the street.

     

    what surprises me is how common it is. Like hobby shops that carry RC cars and model boats will carry a pretty decent TM and WA range

    Annual holiday to Japan, popped into First in Osaka.

     

    picked up some TBB’s for the Mp5’s and a 416 for half the UK RRP. Also grabbed a couple of mags for the GGO Am45 before they go out of print fully.

     

    Then at the checkout, spotted a couple of these bargain bin for the eye watering price of… £40 for an upper and lower. Got a Colt and a Stoner lower set.

    There is now a Novritch bluetooth target as well

    General rule of thumb - anything Novi branded is just repackaged direct from a chinese factory with a premium for his label on the box. Same as most "genuine" car parts.

    My thought was that maybe he promised his wife that he'd sell it all, but didn't really want to let it go. 

     

    "Honestly love, I've been trying to sell it for weeks, but no-one want to buy it"

     

    I would agree. Also back of napkin maths, i would say the RIFs only come to a generous £1,500. Lets be more generous and put all the other stuff down for £1,000.

    That's only £2,500 so still coming up short on the total.

    What brand BBs are best nowadays? Bang for buck.

    When I was using 0.28g the ASG Cursed line were faultless, so this is up to summer 2023 before I and my son moved to 0.32g across the board for AEG's and pistols.

     

    Their price is great, they're easy to get hold off (I'd usually buy three of four bags at a time from Patrol Base along with other consumables), didn't get any in the bag that were damaged or any "dust" in the bottom of the bag. Personally I couldn't find anything better for the price.

    I got a box of ASG cursed .25g's from about 6 years ago as a prize in a raffle.

     

    They have been fine in everything except if i use an older, opened bag in my TM mk46, but that could be the mag was a bit dirty or fussy as its auto wind. Everything else has been fine with them

    Didn't play this weekend, but I'm pretty sure most games would've been better than this guys

    Yes - apparently it was about non calling hits, and No, it wasn't Kicking Mustang for a change.

    This sounds like a really interesting site; unfortunately, it is probably just a bit too far :(.

    I played it a couple weeks ago, with about 30 odd players. I really liked it, as it was CQB but without 90 degree angles every 5 yards, and areas big enough to get some longer shots off. And as it's fairly short engagement and no pyro allowed, its not pay-to-win.

    OOO Claymore! They look rather good fun - albeit I would suspect that its a bit of a faff to set up and the probable limp shower of BB's when triggered is probably at risk of not being felt by the enemy?

     

    They're not too shabby. Deffo a CQB thing, and 0.12g are recommended, but once you get use to it, it's not too complicated to set up and prime
