  1. Cats are like stripers, they sit on your lap and pretend to love you.
  2. The lad has had one for about seven years. He does have others now, but the original is fine. I have one of similar vintage but only wear it for CQB, so quite rarely. I actually use mine to cheat loadouts when hard to get Russian gear is required too. It passes the 10 yard rule. 8Fields is better than most cheap stuff IMHO.
  3. Bonsoir et bienvenue. You are allowed a gun for each pair of shoes that your girlfriend has. That's the rule. 😉 Is there a Milsim scene in France? Some of the continental airsoft games look on a much larger scale than we regularly have in the UK.
  4. 'Can I get a hamburger with cheese?' 'Sorry, we only accept cash or card.'
  5. Just booked my Operation Thunder tickets for the weekend after this.

     

    Bloody excited just thinking about going.  Since I'm training pretty hard at the moment, my black PJs do emulate the pong of a chap whose been in the field for too long a couple of times a week.  

     

    Du ban GI!

  6. How short is short? Have a look at M4 pistol builds.
  7. 'You never take me out.' 'I don't date married women.' 'But I'm married to you.' 'I can't make an exception.'
  8. Sadly, I'm in the same boat. HMRC... if anyone deserves a visit from Judge Death...
  9. Relatives of Jack Sonni were approached today by an Egyptian undertaker offering the recently deceased Dire Straits guitarist a complimentary funeral - all for gratis. He said you get your mummy for nothing, get your crypts for free.
  10. All crime is committed by the living. The solution is obvious.
  11. Whenever I think of the 80s I think of boomboxes. But that's just a stereotype.
  12. Touché Sir! 😅 The next step is taking over the spare room/corner of the living room/bedroom with loadouts and kit. Seriously, there's a PHD for someone writing a thesis on airsoftitis....
  13. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161809509439? - This may sort you out. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202561750943? - Stick a mesh mask on this. Just drill a hole in each side and bolt a mesh mask on. You may need some spacers/washers, and something to stop it pivoting too far down. I'd stick to the Bolles beneath each though.
  14. So once you get your UKARA it's 'Guns: fixed Cyma Platinum MP5, MWS' and a sore wallet...
  15. Mesh masks for chainsaw work are safety rated and have frames that hold them away from the face. If you checked the safety rating and tested one, it might be possible to mount one to an airsoft helmet. You could measure the ID of the masks arms and find a cheap helmet that would go between them. It wouldn't stop you from using the Bolles either. Another option is that some people remove the strap from the face mesh and attach them to the bottom of the goggles frame with cable ties. All a bit Heath Robinson, but there we go. My eczema is flaring up at the minute, so I feel your pain/infernal itching!
  16. I got one of those Humpty Dumpty toys from Aldi for my kids. It's brilliant. It comes with Aldi King's horse's and Aldi King's men.
  17. And yet I've always had to fix bikes that have been doused in the stuff, 'to protect it.' Fork seals, rubber HT leads, valve stems(!), gunged up control cables, the lot.
  18. I walked into my local a few years ago and the barmaid remarked that I smelled 'lovely' and that I never usually used aftershave. I had to confess that I'd fumbled a can of GT85 and sprayed my t-shirt with it rather than whatever motorbike part I'd tried to aim at... GT85 is Teflon based. WD40 is 51% thinners according to the T.U.V. datasheet. WD is only good for initial water dispersant or cleaning. It rots rubber and causes rust long term. GT85 for the win!
  19. I entered the "How not to surrender" competition and I won hands down.
  20. I identify as This Little Piggy. My pronouns are We/We/We.
  21. Got stopped by the Belfast police last night. I gave them their names and addresses and they let me on my way.
  22. Not saying that the UK is small, but we have to keep all the lakes in one district.
  23. IIRC they are 'softer' as they have less brisance than 616s. That gives them lesser/slower ignition qualities, it doesn't effect the ease/force with which they ignite. They tend to get used in slow ignition big and small bore shotguns. FWIW this is a brisance rating that I copied years ago, softest to hardest. If your device favours a particular style of ignition for some reason it may be useful? Worth noting that the Euro primers are larger in OD than the US primers? Cheddite are pretty fat compared to Federal for instance. 1. Rem 209 STS, 2. CCI 209, 3. Winchester 209, 4. Noble Sport 209, 5. Cheddite 209, 6. Fiocchi 209, 7. CCI 209M, 8. Federal 209A.
