  1. Those G&G LMGs don't reach much I believe. I picked up an absolute bargain in terms of price v new cost recently. It hadn't sold and the chap was glad to see it go for peanuts. The Winchester may go fastest for the best price, but seriously for what you'd get, I'd go for overtime or similar if there's any option.
  2. I have the CYMA CM052 on a paracord lanyard. Lightweight, easy to use and cheap. Sniper MED with a 40Mike locally. The duck of death.
  3. I've found the tensioning screw in the base of the G&G Ergo grip a little weak. Nothing thread lock wont cure but still annoying.
  4. I think that we have moved a way beyond the situationism of the 1960's into a plainly consistent denial of the quantitative, as announced by those who announce the quantitative itself, to an audience plainly experiencing the contrary. We are simply a further 50 or so years into the construction of fictions and the accumulated unspoken inconsistencies that that state engenders, aided by new technologies. You may disagree, but I would be interested in your response to my edits to your interesting post.
  5. The Minox scopes are tremendous value. I'd plumb for one over a Simmons tbh. Have a look at Sportsman Gun Centre perhaps.
  6. Sierra Bravo Airsoft and Dustoff both hold them but they are both South East/near London.
  7. Sumrak in EMR from my nearest and dearest. Brilliant quality and design. I bought myself an old Soviet yellow Berezka suit, Soviet poncho, and Spekter balaclava. The lad received a CM.048, for which he promptly appropriated a side mount and red dot, and a moderator - all bloody mine and intended for my CM.040... Luckily Rocketdogbert sold me a cheap reflex sight last week, so I'll go for a rear sight rail from Ant Supplies as soon as they reopen. Better for eye relief/parallax than a side mount. I also picked up a Big Dragon M140, ML and nub, t/b barrel etc. Post script: he's had my bastard new sling too! Swiped from the stairs bookshelf. A sound thrashing is on the cards.
  8. Merry Christmas all you flingers of plastic.  

     

    Let's hope that the airsoft Santa brings all that you desire.   

  9. Not exactly exciting, but I bought an AK sling from Ant Supplies. I must have a silly number as I put one on each rif, even the Imperialist ones. The leather tabs always need a good soak in leather food, but then I expect them to be as long lived as my 1940's Mosin sling. However... this one has a new 'leatherette' style of tab which is thin and lacks grip around the stud. The canvas is thinner and flatter, and the buckle is now ridiculously oversized as a consequence. Shame as these have always been a real bargain.
  10. The PPSh has a fearsome rate of fire, at 1250 rpm. That's 20.8 per second. Sounds about right for airsoft to me too tbh.
  11. I like the way that you're thinking Loki. Far too easy to chuck money on Gucci kit and sell it for a loss when you realise that it isn't what you really want.
  12. The 4th July 2021 was also the start of a five day test match attended by 17,500 people; most of whom travelled hundreds of miles to get there. The initial Bristol protests were attended by around a 1,000 people, although the subsequent support protests were much larger. I Googled sports events on that date, but I could have chosen theatre re-openings or concerts or whatever.
  13. Pretty amused to see another load of drugs advertised on the site.  As if anyone on here would waste cash on drugs when there are toy guns to purchase.

      No sane person would buy pills online from some random username. However, there are those do buy from shops with BB in the name, so you never know.

      My first garden plinker came from a site with BB in the name, worked fine until I connected a battery 😂

      Normally I’d agree but can’t complain I just bought a pistol from a business with ‘BB’ in its name(only place that had it)and I had to have it two tone as that’s all they had in stock . Site picture it had a blue slide but on delivery it only had blue grip panels ! Result for me ! 

  14. Police knocked on my door this evening. 'Where were you between four and six?' they asked. 'Primary school,' I promptly answered. Seriously, what a waste of public money!
  15. Exactly. Highly unfair to have a pop at someone who would have struggled to overshoot anyone even if they had tried. Seeing the kit someone uses and making assumptions is daft.
  16. Sorry for laughing @TheNotoriousLoki , but I seriously do know what you mean mate. I swore really badly in front of a bunch of kids, much to my shame. The marshal laughed off my apology, saying that under the circumstances he quite understood! These all seem to come out of the same factory. I get a pair of the cheapest that E-Bay comes up with every few years, not that the inners have much meat left.
  17. I saw a chap running HPA get a right bollicking for overshooting people. When the marshal walked off, having not allowed him a word in edge ways, he showed me that his home built space rifle thing was semi only... He stuck his bottom lip out and said that he liked to tinker with HPA, but that you tended to be blamed for other players behaviour. Anyhow, if a rate of fire doesn't allow for not overshooting players, and we are not supposed to overshoot players then fielding the thing is plain silly.
  18. Did the same thing first game. Surprisingly painful on the mitts!
  19. I bought two 4 series AKs last week. They will remain virgins until I've ascertained that they are basically sound. Then ML and barrel and that's about it. Even their 3 series are pretty damn good these days.
  20. The AVL slid passed my radar. I feel yet another two wheeled project coming on. The last rh change bike I rode I nearly came a cropper on (ex-wife's ex-husbands B40) braking by mistake on snow. A lefty may be a safer big crobber all round. If you fitted a WL45 style Thompson scabbard to the military version AVL 500 you'd have pretty much the ultimate cool prop vehicle IMHO.
  21. Ordered this a couple of weeks ago. Big thanks to those who commented on my 'will this be suitable for AK mags' post. It easily takes two AK mags per pouch, with a weird divider in front of them that lies flat, but may accept an M4 mag. With smaller mags the flaps close further. There are two male studs per female stud that are mounted one above the other. There is also enough velcro to make the studs a bit superfluous tbh. The thing takes eight AK mags in total, which in real terms is about five over what you need, but it's semi-precision dressing up init. The mag sections are easy big enough for bag of BBs, speedloader and bottle of water, so the square side poaches won't get used. I may even glue them flat from the inside with weak water based glue. The space under the chest opening is cavernous if you are a sheet of cardboard. Might be useful for a section of old roll mat for sitting on. The quality is pretty good, no loose threads or weak looking corners, although the stitching is only single row with reinforced stress points, so I wouldn't fancy being carried/dragged by it. The buckles could grip the straps better but that's 90% of kit with polyester straps. Shoulder straps are not too generous, it may ride a bit high if you are built like a gorilla. I'll adjust it to my liking and tape the straps into place. The green one is similar in shade to a new British lightweight shirt, but shinier obvs. For less than £20 it's a decent enough ANA replica that's about a fifth of the price. It won't impress stitch counters but this is an annual couple of milsims, not reenactment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304117709117?var=603240124544
