You still working for Specna

I want an Airsoft site membership card with my photo and membership number on it.... UKARA should look at doing that rather than having a number you can no longer check

I did tout the idea to a couple of local sites but they replied "UKARA works fine for us". Even offered to part fund it but just had no interest from the sites local to me. I didn't try the larger sites, at that point had other things going on and since I don't sell RIF's dropped the idea.
Other people have tried similar methods, and WW3 like discussions on Facebook have erupted. It's just too much of a minefield to get into unless backed by a number of sites.

Ukara works for sites because it’s easy. They have the amount of times someone has booked at their site and dates and then they register them. Done.
Retailers and second hand salesman are different. I can’t sell you anything without a valid defence, ok you have a Ukara number, how Can I check? Are sites going to tell me how many times you’ve been?
-
Looking for suggestions. Either a small primary or something to sling when I'm sniping. Currently considering the ASG MP9 or the ARP9. Any others thoughts welcomed

Thanks @ziCk_. I think I'm going to go down the route of either an Mp9, ICS PDW9, or maybe the arp556. Unless I can find something else that tickles my fancy. Nearly bought an evo again, decided not to. Want a glock, but they are annoying when it comes to tracers etc.
Also, none of my friends have a ukara number either
-
ICS PDW9 is great feel but it cycles twice on 11.1v on weak spring (complying with UK limits) so gotta run it at 7.4v. It's definitely not worth the money but damn it feels premium and looks super cool. It's more of "I want that gun" rather than "it's great piece of kit for the money". Don't get me wrong, I love it to bits but ARP9 just blows it out of the water when it comes to raw performance (and size, and weight, and drum magazine... I'm thinking about getting another ARP9 drum, butchering it and adapting for PDW9... look I normally hate hi-caps and the rattle and winding but ARP drum is just perfection). I'm surprised you've got rid of Scorpion - I mean, I've played around with it, borrowed from one of the guys that attends the field and as soon as I can afford it and someone sells grey one second hand I will grab one for myself. It's absolutely perfect in every way (I get that need to press slide release on reload might be annoying if one is not used to it tho). If you really want that ICS I will say go for it but I feel like ARP556 offers better value, also it's available in stock which can't be said about ICS products sadly... - it is butt ugly tho
Oh are you in the market for a pistol as well? My 3 favourite pistols I recommend to everyone and activelly use (I have a WE Glock 17 too but I rarely use it.. used it before got AAP-01 because of cheap extended magazines available):
1) AAP-01 (this is the best looking Glock... because it looks like Ruger Mk.IV xD)2) CZ P-09 (pretty much no customisation whatsoever but it just works out of the box and over many years never had any issues with them... I own 2 now, because wanted one in grey as well :D)
3) CZ Shadow 2 (it's just marvelous, perfect copy of competition gun but again, no aftermarket parts... not that you need them - one of best pistols out of the box IMHO, the only thing it really lacks are extended magazines)
CZs can be ran both on CO2 (after 1st shot it's within fps limit) and Green Gas so it's perfect for this cold climate.

Speed loader for TM mk18 GBBR? Lips are so tight i can barely get BBs in with a regular speed loader.

@Groot So i got this today, still really difficult to load BBs. Im guessing ill just need to keep using it and keep using it to "weaken" the spring in the mag

Got home from work, burgled. Airsoft stuff looked at, not taken. Most stuff still here. Horrible feeling

Sorry to hear about this. It's the time of year the scumbags get a bonus and go into overdrive.
-
I think i could cheerfully throw the switch or pull the lever on burglars. No remorse, no hesitation, no listening to their sob stories.
Have the local constabulary no-further-actioned it yet?

They have @Rogerborg, no witnesses no CCTV, they have come to my place to dust but the suspects were gloved up.

Exciting times ahead.. New paintball site opening 6th April in Cuffley, herts (north london) a friend of my father in law. He is very much open to Airsoft events/game days, 65 acres of playing area. Lots of building work going into it.
I'll post a thread later to see what interest there is for private games etc but prices are really competitive with BBQ and after event beer on offer. Possibility to do weekend games twice a month as well- Show previous comments 7 more

Where are you based @Albiscuit

Hypothetical question: If a bolt action sniper is shooting at 350 or less with 0.2's, with less than it's usual joules, would shooting someone class range be a issue
- Show previous comments 6 more

Having tried to run a bolty within aeg engagement range its not that fun, suppose a decent acheivement if you can do it in terms of either stealth or quick reactions but you'll find yourself all too often dropping to the deck and switching to your pistol rather than trying to run the action.
Problem is if you miss with the first shot he has half a dozen shots (without full auto) to try and hit you before you can even hope to have had the bolt cycled and gun ready again, the mathematics of that sort of engagement are pretty self explanatory.
Not saying you can't or shouldnt do it, just pointing out it'll probably suck.
-
That's what we have to deal with here.
Everything is capped at 1j, effectively making sniping stupid hard. As soon as you're spotted you're deaded..
The only viable way to play with a bolt action (with such low power) is to make it as silent as possible, mk23 levels of silent..
That way your opponents will have a really hard time figuring out where you are. That should give you a quite substantial edge on them, but still, keep a secondary on you as you'll be using it more than the primary..
You could also not give a feck and run your sniper with a dot and use it in cqb. It's both fun and challenging

Did you sell the book?

Noobs, I'm not quite a noob but still $hit at this stuff
3 years later....
I'm still crap - stick with Combat Machines so I can offset some of the blame on my budget gun rather than how crap I still am.
Single shot so nobody gets lit up with spray n pray stuff
All play fair and just have a laugh
ego's are left in the safe zone, only things that go out are big kids, toy guns, bit of common sense & ammo and the only real serious thing we take with us is safety.
No hard core stuff, no serious ranks or crap
Just a meet up really....
We get the chance to meet members from all walks of life, all ages and abilities - AND THEN SHOOT THE BASTARDS
Well that is my outlook on it all - sod milsim or serious stuff
if it moves - shoot it, hopefully it is on the enemy team...
-
I like that. There was plenty of that yesterday. Shooting down from the balcony and being blamed for shooting team mates... "Sorry I couldnt tell your team but your foot sir!"
I do want to come, its just if the budget/other half/team can do it. Which, of all of them 3, id say my budget is the easiest to get around.

Christ. I tried doing these upgrades last night. Cylinder head flung out of my hands when I was trying to tighten it and hit my window cracking it. I'm not convinced I've done any of them correctly.... I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow 😐

Thanks muchly. I took the gun to the shop it's now shooting 490fps. I only got the rubber wrong

@Jam Sandwich i'll take some photos later & PM you. Just the 40k or LOTR? From memory, its Iron marines, Space marines and Chaos Marines. But i'll take a look. There was a tank in there somewhere but it's been painted.
