    "I painted it green to match my other airsoft guns and to make it look cooler"

     

    Right. My 4 year old nephew could have painted it better than this abomination.

     

    "Paint can be removed easily."

     

    Of course. So easily that you didn't do it yourself to give yourself a chance of increasing the resale value of the gun. Gotcha.

     

     

     

     

    Did he fucking finger paint that?

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    in General Discussion

    Tried a new site, but by a regular host - RIFT: The Battery.

     

    Numbers were fairly low - about 35ish on the Sunday, and the previous day was about 25-30 by all reports. So under half, but this really helped the gameplay. Only a couple of rentals, and only a handful of people who have been before, so a bulk of people were in the same boat.

     

    It's an old Battery Hen house, so 4 large interconnecting hen houses in an H shape, with obstacles and props in the outdoors area. The site is CQB, but i like it as it's not all right angle turns and dark rooms (yes, there are portions of that) but there are also good lines of sight, multiple flanking positions and not just people stacking up on corners. No pyro, so you had to shoot your way out, and Single shot only, with a gentleman's agreement of no just shooting at a corner to pin people down or spamming the trigger, only shoot when you see them - this really helped people push up.

    If you locked down a corridor or opening, there was opportunity for the opposition to fall back and find a path to sneak up behind you. Doors and paths changed with the games, which is a nice touch. Being young and fleet on foot was definitely an advantage, so everyone actually ran from the spawn points, rather than the usual of a few of them sprint off and the rest trundle up.

     

    Blue team dominated the 1st game, so a few went to red to balance. Same story for the 2nd and 3rd, so by the afternoon, Reds had more bodies to try and make it competitive.

     

    Staff, as always, were on it. Minimal no-calling hits, and only the odd "I got you, no you didn't", as the spawns were only a minute or so walk away, and everyone generally seemed in good spirits.

     

    Overall a really good day, one of the best I had, thanks to the site. It had a nice balance of not being out ranged by snipers and DMR's, but not to close that you walked into someone around every bend and doorway.

     

    Most of RIFTs site are based around Bucks/Beds/Oxon sort of area, so this one is a bit of a drive way in comparison out in central Essex, and even though it's not a financially viable, the lowish headcount really helped the gameplay and pushing up.  I would need to see what it's like with a full compliment of 60 to see if it makes it better or worse.

    My A4 turned up today.

     

    Interesting (i say the word loosely) The Midwest mlok rail repro rail is a bit lose compared to the A5, probably because there is no wire coming out the front to keep it pushed against the frame. A bit of a bodge will be required with tubing and lekky tape.

    Couldn't find a DE Noveske MWS in stock or in the classifieds, so went and got another TM MP5, this time an A4. And some batteries to fit the A5 and SD6 better (not changing anything electrical until an alternative or replacement mosfet is readily available for them) Thank goodness hobbyking is back.

    So I've got the hankering for a SBR/Honey Badger style build - I've already got one with a PDW style stock.

     

    I can't find a nice style rail though, the closest I've seen is a Nuprol one (out of production) or a Dytac SLR 6.75". Any other recommendations?

    might be site specific, i've encountered tree folk a few times and it wasn't explicitly banned or called out when someone tried it, and tbf if it's allowed at the site then it can be pretty effective mostly because people don't expect to have to look in the trees.

     

    Most sites I've played at have banned it, purely because if you're up a tree and get tagged by a volley of fire - you put your hand up and flinch which can easily put you off balance.

     

    Worse case: The next thing you know you're eating out of a tube for the rest of life because you wanted to shoot someone a bit better with a toy gun.

    I might just be special, but I've manged to squeeze a nunchuck 7.2 lipo (with mini tamiya) into a WiiTech repro handguard. It's tricky but doable - but yes, i admit it would be better with a direct to MR30. I run the cables above the barrel, and the battery at 4 and 8 o'clock. Long Mlok at 6 o'clock with a vert grip and small light.

    Will an Airsoft Gun 'Scare Off' a Fox?

    If the heron does become a problem you could try a fine mesh or net over the pond, or alternatively a decoy falcon or owl to scare it away

    Cheapo trick - find an old AOL CD (yes, it must be AOL) and tie it with a bit of string to dangle off something close to the pond, the moving reflections will scare animals off.

    As with all VFC GBB's you need to skip the first couple of batches to allow them to work out the kinks, or someone to come up with a hack.

     

    But apparently, full steel and full travel. So if it works, I can see it dethroning the TM AK as the go to.

    Call me cynical but he way they haven't posted any clear pictures of anything makes me think the seller is trying to hide something. Or maybe they were in a hurry and couldn't wait for the magnitude 7 earthquake to finish

    Off topic: There's a house on right move thats around the £5m mark in the Cotswolds (which i view every Tuesday and Friday, which are the same days as the euromillions, but by no way is that related).

     

    You would think for something that expensive you would get a professional in, who can dress the house. No, ok, a decent consumer camera and a tripod?No, how about at least holding your phone level to take some pictures specifically for the listing? Ok, you're going with whatever you have on your phone at the time.

    Yeap. That’s how it is. On the up side, you can install any handguard system you want as the battery compartment won’t be an issue.

     

    you always have a choice to just get a full stock for the mp5a5 if you don’t want to deal with re-wiring back to the front. Down side….lack of battery space depending on the handguard system you’ll be running (specially if it’s a rail system).

    CYMA full stocks fit like a glove iirc
