Tactical Pith Helmet

Well played! I play support gun a lot. Shouldering it like a rifle would allow you to get around ammo limits and semi auto only rules. At least as far as games with a lot of structure/milsims/filmsims etc. No use having different roles if people chuck plastic M249s around as though they are M4s.

I've played several games with my £10 Eagle single shot p/a. It's great fun for CQB. Gas and spring days are a real blast too.

I know that my Action Man had one.

I was working in my shop when the cashier called me over. He said, 'These two guys came in and tried to give me some fake fifty pound notes.' 'What did they look like?' I asked. 'Fifty pound notes,' he replied.

If the Nuprol M4 is plastic bodied I put one up for £90 posted RM and accepted £85. I did get several kids after it who had no defence at all. No pics, no forum presence, no site memberships, nada. The cheapest M4 in the classifieds always will IMHO. You'd be better off selling the sight separately. It won't add much if anything to the rif.

I learned how to rebuild engines through poverty. Poverty and the belief that if not dealt with by force, it is hard to break something more than it is already broken (electrics aside!).

Blind firing is not being able to see between the end of your barrel and the point of aim. To do otherwise is indirect fire. Presenting a target is just that. As for ethics, I am sure we would all agree that eudaimonia is central to airsoft. We are all there to enjoy ourselves. Does your behaviour in game add to or decrease to the enjoyment of the game for all those present?

Bit of a rough week really lads. Lost my gran on Saturday. Monday I didn't get a Valentine's card from my secret admirer, for the first time in 53 years.

I got screamed at by a marshal for having the butt of the stock too low in my shoulder at one site. I was lobbing BBs in at the edge of my range. Not worth arguing with that level of daftness.

'The bigger boys made me do it.'

I use cheap as chips conveyor belt silicone oil. Unbranded stuff in a plain bottle. Nothing has caught fire, exploded or shredded itself to pieces in the years I've used it.

Silly practice in a way, but one does have the choice to watch or not to watch. Hit calling at games is something that blights the sport whatever you choose to do after initially choosing to attend. It is hard to ignore and impossible to choose not to hear. I enjoy the odd Gamble vid, but I avoid this kind of viewing in general.

A third screw in the feet would make it a lot stronger. Make a triangle shape out of them.

Me: “I’m stuck on a crossword clue 'Overworked Postman' can you help me?” My Wife: “Sure, how many letters?” Me: “I’m guessing too many.”

I have seen someone use an S6 with the lenses replaced. Chap said that it was a proper tough job getting flat lenses in though. You could try a fan for airflow, but the PC fans are often are a touch weak even for goggles. You could try and replace the lenses and all the other orifices with mesh, e.g. base of the filter, any valves etc. As an alternative, you could learn to breath through your ears. I'm lost for suggestions after that.

People pay extra for premium genuine forces kit. Only the cleverest Chinese ten year olds with the nimblest fingers are used to make the best stuff...

Clearly born premature with the help of a bent coat hanger wielding crone. Nope.

Kids today don't know how well off they are. I was orphaned at a young age and raised by a pack of hyenas. No toys, no posh house, facing starvation scouring for food, but boy, did we have some laughs.

Try practical shotgun suppliers. They do niche US items all the time. Gun and Accessory Mart carry adverts all the time. UKPSA may well have a list of suppliers, they may well have a forum too.

I have bought some mags etc from them too. Cheap and very fast turn around. I agree, definitely easy to recommend.

I used to be chief executive of a large non-profit-making organisation; but they have just let me go. We weren't supposed to be one.

1870 was the date that a license was required to carry a firearm outside of the home. Earlier vagrancy acts covered firearms too, as far back as the 1820s. Don't get caught sleeping in your car with a musket!

Bespoke scope protector from Red Dot. Really tight fit and light spiralling from the lathe means loads of contact/friction. Fast delivery and less than a tenner, so well worth having on decent glass.

Driver Wood is using that very app for a game in June if anyone wants to give it a whirl. https://driverwoodactivitycentre.co.uk/product/good-morning-vietnam/? Topical comment Mr Borg!

Those ETUs can fail after only two or three games. The Perun is essential IMHO. I wouldn't use one as my only rif without one fitted. Having written that I expect that someone will now comment that they have used one for years with no problems, but none of mine have lasted five minutes.
