Tactical Pith Helmet

The Daleks: horrible beings devoid of all emotions but hate. They're like Piers Morgan on wheels.

My granddad remembers, 'Fighting them on the beaches.' Lovely man, but a very short fused deckchair attendant.

I've lost several pairs of shoes. I've a lot of sole searching to do.

An aeg uses a piston in a chamber that creates... high pressure air behind the BB. You'll be telling us that hpa breaks peoples fingers next. So, it was Air Sniper in disguise all along!

Cigarettes are like weasels. Both are completely harmless until you put them in your mouth and set fire to them.

My Aldi digi callipers have served me for years. However, if I REALLY needed to measure something, I'd use a micrometer and make sure that I'd tested it with a gauge block recently. I have known really crap cheapo rubbish BBs to exceed size tolerance, but I doubt you'd want to use them, Bulldog and similar.

You can swim with dolphins for free. Swimming with sharks costs an arm and a leg...

I should think the most obvious would be to have a stripper on at lunchtime given the target audience... Seriously though, given some of the 'banter' and 'funny' patches, some games are hardly welcoming to all. Mrs TPH has played at filmsim/milsim games for a while now. I'm glad that I didn't ever take her along to a few of the skirmishes that I've attended. If we could all confidently take our better halves it could make a big difference to numbers. That said, the same is true about a lot of events/sports etc.

I made a right dog's dinner of a meal today. Then I remembered that I work in a pet food factory....

Kassi Valazza has a haunting sound.

I hear Alec Baldwin is acting in another film. Shooting begins soon.

Fencers wear suits that register hits. No reason that airsofters couldn't in a real competition.

Just played poker with some weed smoking cows. It was a high steaks game!

Spot on! I vote we nominate someone on the forum to act as spokesperson for the Airsofters' Alliance and ask them to put out authoritative press statements until they're accepted as a lazily sourced supplier of info for time pressed journos. We'll read through the UK Law threads and select Rogerborg someone.

Get the German ones, but be careful re: width. They come in about eight different fittings and most sellers only flog them by main size. My son's SOF jungles lasted for years, only dying when the soles eventually crumbled into a sticky mush when worn totally smooth. He is still regarded reproachfully by his grandmother with the once pristine cream coloured carpet...

I've lost a bit of weight recently by wearing bread on top of my head. It's a loaf hat diet....

Went to my bosses funeral today. I knelt by the coffin and whispered, 'Who's thinking outside the box now then, Dave?'

I thought that that was a plate from Grogan's Cape to Cairo, but its a bit earlier and bloody fascinating: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/collections/savage-africa-being-the-narrative-of-a-tour-in-equatorial-southwestern#/?tab=about Has unicorns in apparently. Love the look of outrage on the gorilla's face, and its over emphasised opposable big toes. Here's Grogan showing how to get directions from pygmies:

They will strike from underneath given enough of a whack, or a direct strike to the base of the anvil. You really want the base of the primer (bit with the hole) covered as that's where the brisant material will explode from. Look at a fired cartridge that has been hit by a firing pin that is too long. The pin will pierce the striker and the metal of the pin will be burnt to such an extent that the hardening goes and it becomes pitted and brittle. The pierced metal face of the primer will be burned black as it has been exposed to such high temps. Now imagine that amount of heated material hitting human skin. If a primer goes off in your hand for example, it will likely leave a disabling amount of damage. I know I'm harping on, but I've worked in this field years ago.

Went to the Doctors today for an examination. 'Relax and try not to become aroused Dave,' said the Dr. Surprised as hell I answered, 'My name's not Dave.' 'I know,' said the Doc, 'I'm Dave.'

I saw a man going up a hill with a trolley full of horseshoes, four-leaf clovers and rabbits' feet. He was pushing his luck!

Primers are a primary explosive. They are inherently volatile. They used to be sold loose in jars or tins, the reason they no longer are is because of risk of chain explosion. It only takes a bit of static electricity. Glad you've never had issues, but I personally wouldn't chance it. Skin grafts are not nice. Here's a quote from a reloading site: 'Avoid handling primers with your hands. Oils and such from your skin can interfere with reliable operation later. Most hand priming tools have trays that allow you to dump primers right from their box onto the tray without handling. Always wear safety glasses when handling primers. Remember the primary explosive part and how they’re designed to go boom from mechanical force? If one gets jammed up and goes off, you won’t want flame, gas, or primer bits going into your eyes. If you use a primer feed tube, as on a progressive reloading press, it’s possible that some weird sequence of events can set off the whole tube, so be careful. Pretend like you’re handling explosives, because… you are! While they’re the little guy in the process, and usually the least expensive component of the reloading process, don’t neglect the primer. Kind of like a stubbed toe, that little thing can make life miserable if not treated with respect.'

My lads first pistol was a G&G 1911 CO2. It was putting out 420 fps. He'd used it at a site that didn't bother chroneing pistols a couple of times before we discovered. This was right at the start that we began playing. I was told not to bother putting it through my chrono at home by the on site bods. Lesson learned, but a painful one for anyone he plugged at close range.
