Tactical Pith Helmet

If you need to know the difference between a chickpea and a lentil, remember that no one has ever paid for a lentil on their chest.

TM are extremely nice, but a lot of budget stuff is very reliable (if not buggered about with) these days.

The S&T SMLE isn't cheap, but 100 budget .303 cartridges are £77 through a real one. A round of clays is 35p per clay and £6 a box of 25 budget cartridges. Shooting is never really cheap. You are literally buying things to fling them all over the countryside. Airsoft is not bad value IMHO. To be candid... I worked out in an idle moment just how much beer I bought when I was seriously into snooker. Two nights practicing and one nights competition was a minimum of 12 pints per week, plus table hire, taxis, nerve soothing fags, post-pub pizzas and the odd victory party to 2am. Life in the UK is rarely cheap, especially leisure. Glad to be able to knacker myself out for so little tbh.

Around £30 is fine. I bought a few stones of cheap Kilo 9s before Brexit and always take food and drink from home. Diesel costs I ignore as when you live this deep in the country you pay to go anywhere. A milsim or themed game is probably £40/50 a day, but they are few and far between and take months of planning. The enjoyment of playing these is huge, so bollox to the cost. If you want a cheaper pew outing try HFT. £5ish green fee and £1 worth of pellets a day.

Most torches operate with a pressure switch that screws on to the rear of the body. I may be wrong, but that looks Surefire specific.

I looked last night and thought the same.

Order a standard CYMA M14. They shoot at 400fps as out of the box. Change the hop rubber and add a simple mosfet, fit an optic and you're done. If your local site is 425 or 450fps an AR type platform may be easier to work on pissing about with different springs etc.

Just take the design in and have a chat. You would not believe some of the 'technical drawings' they will have seen!

@frontsightany engineering place that does CNC could do that.

Cheap red dots seem much of a muchness to me. The top end Vectors look interesting though. They appear to have a decent warranty too. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has one.

I have a record for having sex with celebrities. I also have a ban from Madam Tussauds.

The detent is all plastic. Dirt tears up the surfaces. I cleaned my lad's G18, dressed the surfaces with very fine wet and dry, lubed with silicone oil and reassembled. Runs fine now.

Decided to get a torch with a red LED. Filters always dim modern torches too much. Beam is a bit wide, but the smart charger actually works, and it seems robust enough. I bought the cheapest one on ebay, I am sure you can pay far more for the same with a different branding.

The Nazis decide to amuse themselves one day in an occupied Soviet village. They line up all the men naked and blindfold a housewife. 'If you can identify your husband in the lineup only by fondling his cock, you will all go free. If you can't, you will all be shot.' The woman starts at the end of the line. She takes the first villagers knob in her hands. 'Not him,' she says. She fondles a second man, 'Not this one either.' She fondles a third, 'This one's not even from our village.'

Everyone who works producing BBs has to submit a sample of genetic material. That way any faulty BBs can be traced to whoever placed each one in the bag or bottle. Since us buying Valkyries enables that poor young lass to pursue her dream of being an actress, she kisses each BB out of gratitude. If you look closely each bears a small smear of lipstick, enabling Luke to identify the brand with no expensive lab work required. Hudson has actually written about 95% of my comment regarding actual weights already.

Uncle Bob was a terrible ventriloquist. He used to stick his hand up my cousins arse and tell him not to say anything.

I went to the library today and asked for a suicide manual. 'You're not booking it out on your ticket,' snapped the librarian. 'Whyever not?' I asked. 'Because you won't bring the bloody thing back...'

I get mixed up with words that sound alike sometimes. Last night I confused jacuzzi with yakuza. Now I'm in hot water with the Japanese mafia.

Even at the height of the fighting in 2014 Ukraine was a big net arms and equipment exporter, about ninth in the world. Any shortages are due to an inability to stop oligarchs exporting for personal profit, and a reluctance of western allies to export much needed drone, anti-tank and comms equipment for fear of reverse engineering. I applaud the spirit of this kind of thing, but it won't sort out the real problem of corruption. I will be donating, but to the Red Cross.

Not in the Northern hemisphere in March... In the summer I use two. One khaki as per the avata and one Vietnamese green job. You have to be careful where you wear them though. The local Zulu diaspora are frightened by one, the personel of the local US airbase by the other.

We went to one of those weird fetish restaurants tonight. The waiter was insistent that the special was fantastic, but I didn't order it. I really didn't fancy getting Toed in the Hole.

My lads first rif was a Firehawk. It still shoots well; a high torque motor is no mis-investment though.

Careful, you'll get a slap round the chops with a pair of Mechanix gloves and challenged to give satisfaction for that remark. Luckily however, I expect that you will be the only one present with a working duelling pistol...

My wife claimed she was late coming home tonight because she was ambushed by a group of elderly men who pinned her down and repaired her shoes. Sounds like a load of old cobblers to me.

I usually wear a crotched prayer cap and a sweat band that gets changed two or three times a day. Think I'll possibly re-think the idea. My current lid is one of these less than a tenner jobs from TW: https://www.taiwangun.com/tactical-helmet/replica-of-mich2000-helmet-version-light-coyote-8fields The padding is adjustable and its pretty comfy. My lad fell through a window a few years back in one and whacked his noggin on a concrete floor. He is still with us, so it does give some limited bump protection.
