      Probably because you’re ducked 😂. If it still doesn’t go far enough back with that off you have no chance

      Yea thats fine, ive ordered an offset rail to mount it on, or ill try a riser. If not, it'll go onto my main

      So my small torch fits this pistol nicely, the torch above doesn't fit with the riser BUT fits on the offset rails but I'm not sure I like the look of it

      Thanks Lewis.  Shame there is no price list right now,  I feel like it's going to be over £250 easily though

      Now is not the time 😒, coronavirus is unfortunately making my wife work from home and taking a pay cut and I've got to save all of my money for work, food and bills. 

  3. 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.

    3. Robert James

      Robert James

      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?

  4. 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 

    3. ziCk_

      ziCk_

      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 :P

       

      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.

      I've had an evo before. It was the BET version, it put me off. The 2020 revision version seems better, but it just feels like a gun that everybody says is great, once you spend money on it.

      @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

       

    3. C-Diddy

      C-Diddy

      They will be stiff for a while  ut that is the best speedloader to use.

      Just try tilting the speedloader slightly as you use it. Should be a little easier.

      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.

  10. 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

      Cuffley is not too far, been there plenty of times to the scout site so know it well.

       

      Would be happy to pop along to some test/private games ;)  Very interested in this as a 'local' site...

  11. 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

      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.

      CQB with a 320 fps SRS...

    4. Skara

      Skara

      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 :)

      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 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.
