Tactical Pith Helmet

I'm throwing in the towel at running my chicken dating site business. I simply can't make hens meet.

People have been nicked for disassembling rifs and spreading the bits between two vehicles. As the lady from the embassy said, 'No exceptions.' You also have to resist laughing when the German plod demand your papers, ask you your name etc. They don't have much sense of humour around firearm offences and the odd Dad's Army line may result in much trouble.* *Asking a leather trenchcoated transit policeman if he models himself on the Gestapo WILL result in trouble too. Ask my mate Del....

I had similar with an RPK from Land Warrior. I told 'LW as I would want to know myself if the courier I used was crap. What really pissed me off is that the courier delivered to my house regularly, and couldn't be arsed to put the package through the open shed window due to it's size. As it was pissing it down I was extra annoyed. On a similar note... I had a chat with a chap from E-Bay last week over some missing boxing shorts. He said that items being notified as being left in a safe place not being actually being delivered at all was 90% of the complaints received. This week someone called O'Brian signed for my £120 sparring gloves. I don't have any neighbours, and my surname is not O'Brian... Fuck knows where my gloves turned up.

Before the invention of the crowbar, crows had to drink at home.

I've had two of the things, my first (bloody awful) rif, and a pistol that didn't work out of the box.

Best: G&G M4 or CYMA M14. Both just perform exactly as they should. Both accepted a few mods without shitting themselves AND actually shot even better! All the gnus I really need (we'll ignore the other dozen or so). Worst: SRC M4. Hop didn't work. Didn't feed. Slow motor speed. Bloody awful build quality. Flexible receiver anyone? or.... SRC pistol. Never even fired a shot...

SRC are crap. I wouldn't wrote Nuprol off completely. A local site uses Defenders as hire guns. A problem here is partly that QC is so loose in airsoft that one person's nightmare is another's quality buy. That said SRC are seriously crap. I'd be interested in who actually honours a warranty, rather than tries to wriggle out of one.

On mine I simply replaced the barrel and hop rubber and nub. Slightly better consistency/accuracy than standard, a few yards extra range perhaps. I set the hop and tightened the screw on the adjuster arm. Were I not a lazy toad, I would have changed the nozzle as this is key to repeatable shooting, but since mine shot OK I didn't bother. You can bugger about with them in a million ways, but passed those mods it's diminishing returns in terms of cash for positive improvements I think. That said, this is airsoft. Yours may really need a metal hop unit to get the best out of it. You may need to reshim and grease the gearbox etc. Test it beside another CYMA AK and see what it performs like in comparison perhaps. I test my modded G&G M4 beside my lad's standard one.

My wife accused me of achieving nothing so I told her, 'Well I won the Leslie Nielson award at school.' 'What's that?', she said. 'It's a big building with kids in it.'

There are post-conviction laws regarding airguns too. If you've a criminal record, possession can be a serious offence.

My wife told me she’ll slam my head into the keyboard if I don’t get off the computer. I’m not too worried. I think she’s jokindkdkslalkdlkfjslfjslksdlkfjuahehwhgwdklaljdffakvjadfvjlasdjsdlsdlvdsldshvsdhovhdsoifjsdlkn cxlkvn;oi I was in the SAS, but I can't tell you about it.* *Suffolk Agricultural Services.

I was waving a large Sabatier around once. The plod ignored me as they knew I have a City and Guilds in catering and a food hygiene certificate (which the local Environmental Health Dept. had confirmed).

I wallowed in a bath full of creosote today. Just though I'd treat myself.

I have a CYMA aep 1911 with a li-po fitted using a battery adapter that fits the standard nimh slot. It's a useful thing for CQB but bulkier than a standard gbb 1911 and heavier too. Full auto is useful but my lads G18 TM is fun and uses gas.

Mate of mine thinks that he's a chocolate orange. We're going to have him sectioned...

This salad shortage could be the tip of the iceberg!

Did you know that everyone who conflates causation with correlation dies in the end?

Social media and tabloids can seriously damage your mental health. Hope your pal is OK.

Just read an incredible 13th Century account of a feudal uprising where a duke’s son was killed by rebels who used a trebuchet to knock him off the battlements with the only available ordnance: a peasant’s decapitated head. Apparently it was the first serf-face-to-heir missile.

I spent the weekend learning to meditate. It beats sitting there doing nothing.

Watched that Iranian remake of Rocky tonight. Good film, but the theme songs stuck in my head. I can't stop humming Ayatollah of the Tiger.

That's PNG not Guinea. Anyhow, given the amount of cable-ties holding it together, your description of the gnu may be about right! Remember the Zapatista's fearsome armoury when they originally launched themselves from the mist?

I'm in the hospital after being diagnosed with bad camouflage disease. They've just moved me to ICU.

I meant to do Tudders this weekend, day and night. I love night games there. I had a memorable one were I lost both contact lenses and didn't notice until the marshals saved me from wandering around in the plantation chasing a marshal wearing a nightstick that I mistook for a torch... Poor chap was most unimpressed that some idiot was potting him despite the hi-viz. What I did was wake up at 13:30 with a pounding hangover, a sense that the preceding evening had gone awry, and that a bit of rest was required. Shame as several people have commented on how good it was.

Vega Force is usually written/described as VFC. If you Google VFC airsoft rifles you will find something similar. 70% of the new price as a starting point is rule of thumb. Here are a few: https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/vfc-en-gb/ I've had to deal with going through a loved ones things after we've lost them too. Wish you all the best there is.
