  1. Sounds like a planned trip cancelled... Who are we talking about? No one with an inability to speak French I hope?
  2. Gunman Airsoft. Frontline have a good rep too. If you want to tag along, I expect that @RebelScum or I would be more than willing to buddy up with you for a first game. I play VC, Rebelscum plays US. Pick a side, sign up to the Facebook group appropriate, get help with kit, meet new airsofters, get pissed in the woods. It's all good fun. Sierra Bravo Airsoft do the same type of games.
  3. Fell into the basket like an autumnal leaf... Cheers!
  4. 'We'd like to stay in the bridal suite,' the honeymooners said at the reception desk. 'Do you have reservations?' asked the receptionist. 'Yes, I'm worried about taking it up the arse,' replied the bride.
  5. Does anyone have any experience with these? It has a polymer body but since it's for Mrs TPH weight is a major issue. Any other recommendations for the same rifle would be welcomed. I don't seem able to find a CYMA in stock, although I've not searched that hard yet.
  6. My house is haunted by a chicken. Not sure if it's a poultryguist or some other fowl spirit, but I'm getting an eggsorcist in.
  7. Reports just in of a man attacking people with a chickpea and garlic dip. Police are warning people that a houmousidal maniac is on the loose.
  8. Getting my loadout ready for a game the weekend after next.  This post apocalypse look is seriously harder than it looks.  Reckon my 1970s Warsaw Pact kit will be a good base.

     

    Gas mask is de-filtered and ready.

     

    Snow Wolf K98 is shooting uncannily well as usual.  

     

    TM 1911 is fine for a magazine a fill.  If it's cold I'll use red gas.  Since we're limited to 17 BBs it will be fine capacity wise.  

     

    Nice to have a game less than an hour away (ish).  

     

    Camping in October is fine if you have the kit.  A touch of medicinal scotch will work wonders too no doubt.

      it's events like that that make me want to open up my Tanaka m700 and see what's up with it as it's not shooting how I want it to (yes, I have 3 gas m700s!). It's in a real wood m700 stock and definitely can look the part for post-apoc; will bring it to Namsoft in 2023 if it's shooting well by then, which I sincerely hope it would be!

      What event are you going to and where? Hope you have fun with it!

      I'm off to Stalkers at Tuddenham next weekend.  

       

      I'd like to see the wood m700.  Certainly looking forward to Namsoft next year.  Last game of the season has come to mean the coming of the autumn.  

       

      When I find what I know is lurking in the house kit wise, you may get a pic @Rogerborg.  I've a pair of 1930s goggles that I want to re-lens for one.  Should be on my dead Nazi tankman's skull but someone has moved them.  

  9. Ceracote is somewhat flatter I think. It's a hard one to replicate. I reckon for scratches you may well be right though. Those touch up pens are damn good these days. Of course you could always use a matt lacquer to finish it off I suppose. I learned a lot about touch up paint, rattle cans, and panel beating with my first wife. Her driving was interesting...
  10. I'm going to be a minimalist. It's the least that I can do.
  11. What exactly do you want to do? Think mounting, range, colour/display options, battery life, etc etc. The Yukon unit was the mutt's nuts for years for bolty night shooting. Once £400-ish they are now £600+. That's night vision not thermal. NVUK do NV units that reach out to 130 yards for around £150 or so. You find them on fb. After 130 yards you're into Pulsar territory. I don't own any, but friends rate them. Good luck whatever you do.
  12. Vevor do one for around £200, I don't know its quality. Flir units are very good and now down to £400 https://uk.farnell.com/flir/tg165-x/thermal-imager-80x60-25-to-300/dp/3513905 Fanatic squirrel hunters love 'em. Pulsar are designed for spotting game etc they start at around £1100 and are designed for what you want it for. Probably a bit high spec for searching a garden or loft/shed, but buy once etc.
  13. I think that the breech is open. I did think that it looked bent to the side in the clip though. Perhaps it's loose where it engages the breech? He is now in prison where no one will take the piss about him getting locked up for pounding a grandmother's back door. Since its claimed that he had lost his mind during the offence, the MHA states that secure hospital route should have been followed.
  14. I do believe that he has a reputation as being expensive. There is a section on the forum called 'Where to Buy' if you look in there you will probably find some info.
  15. I keep having the same recurring dream. I keep dreaming that I'm a horse. It's been six nights on the trot now.
  16. I sprayed my van with some rust remover last night. I've now got a set of Ford Transit wheels for sale...
  17. Jesus fucking wept! I can't believe I laughed at that. 🤣
  18. Prince Charles gets a crown next year. Shows how desperate dental care is when the next king has to wait that long.
  19. Running at 3.7j is seriously irresponsible. I'd be interested in knowing just what happened about it too. That's off site with a clip around the ear at least implied should the fool ever return.
  20. My friends into two distinct groups: cat people and dog people. I should probably stop taking so much LSD.
  21. rabid feminists feminists getting wind up their duffs... women Kind of works as a haiku too; but the last line's a bit off.
  22. Double action bars, top safety = Mossy 500 rep Bottom fed/eject = Ithaca 37 rep Single action bar, trigger guard safety = Remmy 870 rep Pump/semi action = Benelli rep I doubt that CBC/Manufranc etc have any airsoft replicas.
  23. Cheers mate. Thanks for the correction! I was going off of Josh's booking figures. Surely 18 players didn't fail to show!? That's bloody daft; or I've misunderstood something.... Certainly bloody felt like there were more of you.
  24. No offence, but the reason I enjoy chatting with like minded airsoft addicts on here (and avoid fb etc) is that this kind of stuff is usually not a feature. I must still ask though... Did you help found UKF? Your concerns seem to be similar to Robin Page's.
