@The_Lord_PonchoYeah looking through 18airsoft now, and they actually have some great prices and parts... 16 quid for an E&C QD v2 shell with spring guide, not bad at all! They have a full range of both brushless and non brushed Solink motors.. I've had their 39k brushless for about two weeks now testing in a boneyard m4 and it's absolutely awesome, makes a 7.4v 25c run like an 11.1v. Anyway, I had no idea they made so many different models. Will try 18A out!

Yeah would appear to be Hong Kong based: https://www.18airsoft.com/pages/ordering-information Will add it on

Sorry for the delay, I don't think I got the notification for this 😶 Both added to the UK retailer list 👍

An old Finnish joke about the Winter War: A large group of Russian soldiers in the border area in 1939 are moving down a road, when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: "One Finnish soldier is better than ten Russians". The Russian commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill where a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out: "One Finn is better than one hundred Russians." Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The calm Finnish voice calls out again: "One Finn is better than one thousand Russians!" The enraged Russian commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought... Then silence. Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men... it's a trap. There are two of them!"

Looks like you can checkout on either your own website or shooting supplies ltd, which webby would you like me to update the list with @FABDefense ?

Oldie but a goodie: Supposed transcript of a radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Ops 10-10-95.

Yep good practice this for sure.

hmm, Is that updated policy since Brexit then? I used them once a number of years ago.. but that was then and now is now. I suppose it goes without saying it may be worth contacting any EU shops and clarifying their up to date shipping policies before placing orders.

Yeah I'm looking forward to check out the 2003 CW too, I've never seen it and was always put off a little by the animation style - apparently it's not considered canon at the moment. Mandalorian season 2 was terrific, I enjoyed the first season too, but the second was just freakin on a next level - I had literally been waiting for episode 6 of the second season my entire life 😎

Yeah, just been googling and YTing it, and while it looks pretty neat in GTs pics, somehow it doesn't look all that special out the box - honestly if you wanna go something in the same vein I'd just go MP5.

Oh yeah, I was so focused on the up close details in the second pic I must have glossed over all that info.. I have to say I'm not typically interested in anything that is not specifically modeled off of something real-steel. However that looks very cool !

What is the base gun here? Looks like an MP5/MPX/AR mashup?

Yeah the Mando is based 5 years after ROJ if i'm not mistaken. As @Druid799 says though it was defo a different Krayt dragon... the one Mando slayed was probably over 10 times the size of that one out in the sand dunes in new hope. Hah! whata ya know! I suppose ultimately we have one of our dinosaurs missing to thank for last night's episode then I remember channel flipping one weekend when I was a youngster back in the 90s, and coming across 'one of our dinosaurs is missing' - expecting something closer to Jurassic Park, I remember being pretty disappointed 😅

Didn't know whether to start a new thread or not - but this one seems fitting enough to start off the discussion on Mando Season 2. Just finished watching episode 1 - I thought it was pretty awesome! I've literally wondered all my life about what that giant dinosaur skeleton on the sand dunes in a new hope could be - life long question answered! Excited about the reveal at the end of the episode too!

I've not upgraded since 2016 I believe - I still run a pre-overclocked Gigabyte windforce 980Ti with an i7 6700k - 16gb of ddr4 and a Samsung nvme m.2. While my current monitor is a 27" 144hz 1080p Iiyama; I would like to make a little return to gaming after around a years hiatus, maybe with a 1440p monitor and possibly one of these new 30 series RTX cards everyone is talking about - apparently the performance with the current Battlefield games at 1440p with the 3080 is pretty damn good.. even quite playable at 4k. Because I skipped two core generations of GPUs (the 1080/ti and then the RTX 20 series), I imagine the jump in performance between the 980Ti and 3080 would be significant. Would love to go back and play BF4 at 1440p maxed out with a constant fps at a minimum of 144, tearing free - though maybe that's still wishful thinking?. Even so, with Gsync and Freesync I don't think the constant fps above the 144hz mark is actually necessary. Funnily enough my brother is helping my 11 year old nephew build his first PC, I offered to donate some pieces I have lying around, in the form of my old GTX590 which was a beast of a card when it came out; it was 2 GPU chips on one card, effectively making it an onboard SLI solution for two GTX580s. But After doing a bit of research it turns out, this top of the line card which I bought for 6 or 7 hundred quid back in 2010/2011 wont be able to compete with a mid/bottom of the line 1660 contemporary card in the game 'fortnight' which is what he wants it for. Also, apparently SLI has gone the way of the dodo, so If you did want to run this card on a modern game, it would not be as a 590 but a single 580 GPU. To top it off, Nvidia stopped supporting it in 2018 for driver updates so it may only be a matter of time until the card doesn't even switch on in a modern windows 10 machine - feels kinda sad really.

Added to EU and UK lists. @Wizeguy @Tommikka

It seems the online shop component of their business is https://www.mpa-airsoft.co.uk/ so i'll add that to the UK list 👍

As @AlphaBear and @Musica said, the Mandolorian was pretty awesome - great blend of nostalgia and something new in the SW universe. My core complaint is the episode runtime in the first season being rather short, resulting in a few episodes feeling a bit rushed - I'm hoping following the success of the first season they will assign a budget and production capacity that would allow season 2 episodes to be a bit longer, fleshed out and therefore have the ability to more effectively character build. Rumor has has it we may see certain clone wars characters who have never been seen in live action before appear in the second season - cant wait to see if this is the case, apparently Temuera Morrison has been cast, potentially to play more than one character. 😁

I thought you were pulling my leg to begin with - looked like a clothes and fashion shop from the front page. But if you search 'Airsoft' they have quite a few things. Though i sort of get the impression that this is probably a market place site like Aliexpress.. not a direct shop-front itself?

I like your big lego Boba Fett dude

No you were right, they are definitely Italy based, but their amazon store seems to get a lot of US customers.. funny thing is a number of the poor reviews seem to be to do with purchases on boots - wrong sizes being sent, high return charges, that kinda thing. Either way, shouldn't be as much of an issue for us - have added them on 👍 https://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A14JNY308Z0IC7&tab=&vasStoreID=
