      I need sleep!

       

  3. Had the kind of day yesterday you always dream of having. Guns worked perfectly all day, fair play, fair weather, perfectly even teams, lots of firefights. I am a happy bunny.

      First time there, didn't really know what to expect to be honest. Was ok once I moved onto M4 but day was a little marred by the gamesmanship.

      I’d give Stormforce a try, better for sniping. There are Rhododendron bushes as at the fob but better spaced out and due to the lie of the land you can look down on some from a vantage point. Lots more open play, they play a morning and an afternoon game with multiple in game objectives.

      Honestly, I’ve been to both and I only go to Stormforce these days.

      Have to agree on playmanship; I've been about 4 or 5 times and everytime theres been some really questionable hit taking & rule bending.

  7. Amazing day yesterday at Midlands Airsoft Fair. Didn't spend the earth but got some bits I wanted.

    1. Rogerborg

      Out of interest, was there any attempt by the venue or organiser to police the selling of RIFs?

       

      I ask because I'm seeing that cosplay and similar fanwank conventions are now requiring vendors of anything remotely toy weapon related to not sell face-to-face on site, but to ship the item later.

       

      I know that makes absolutely hee-haw sense, but it's the sort of idiocy that seems increasingly popular among people who don't understand the consequences of creating a duty of care where one didn't previously exist.  And in our case, every sale of a RIF is a criminal offence.

    2. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      A couple of the stalls said that they would check UKARA before selling a RIF.

       

      Some of the bigger ones didn't, I think it's an almost fair assumption that to go to an airsoft fair, pay £5 for entry to wander round and purchase then you are "most likely" an airsofter.

       

      The one which made me smile was one of the players stalls (selling second hand stuff) stating it would check UKARA as I didn't even think that was possible any more.

       

      I can say though that I went knowing my UKARA had expired but still came away with a new RIF.

  8. Reminiscing of my last day out. SRS made it like shooting fish in a barrel. Even the cheeky shot's you shouldn't try were landing.

  9. SRS felt like cheat mode yesterday. Like I had aimbot activated! Cheekily taking shots I shouldn't have been trying and landing them. Awesome day at YTA Borderlands.

      @Steveocee you were at Borderlands?? In that case, my heartfelt apologies for your loss of gameplay! Which team were you on? Did we actually talk to each other without knowing who each other was?

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      @sonofsammoWe certainly did sir. I was Als mate with the stringy ghillie.

      Also please don't apologise, number 1 rule of Airsoft is safety, whether it's eye pro, gameplay or ensuring players are catered for. Not a problem and glad you're doing better.

  10. Starting to get stuff together for Sunday. First sniper day for a long time and it's feeling good!

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      I do enjoy a bit of sniping / DMRing for a change of pace.  It's an elegant toy for a more civilised game.

    2. Shamal

      Shamal

      Yep game on tomorrow as well.

      I'm bombed up,charged up and hyped up and after game I shall be fucked up!

      Looking to be a fine and warm day here in the south so bring it on 🙂

      Right there with you. SRS is lubed and ready to go!
      No idea what the site is going to be like, but I remain hopeful 😄 
      Hope you have a good day dude!

  11. Me and late nights don't mix. I just tend to buy shit. It starts cheap but then it escalates to double the initial amount I decided I could sacrifice.

      I know, right?

      I need to buy a new pair of glasses (Revision Sawflys, the ones I have are a tiny touch too small for my likings so I'll be getting a new pair in size L) and I'm pretty sure I'll end up with a bunch of stuff I won't need :D

  12. CQB in 2 and a half hours! Can't wait.

  13. e.x-fire.org have a free shipping offer on. Buy PDI now if you were planning on it!

      @leadly I'm in 2 minds for Nov. Either going back or taking the printed build for a day at Halo Mill.

  14. What a day yesterday! DMR in the morning and then remembered why I loved sniping in the afternoon. None of this bush wookie bollocks, fast moving and agile. Really appreciate my SRS again.

  15. Sharing my opinion after my first time behind a DMR.

      Nice write-up. I'm also still in shock it's actually ZCL!

       

      Also, I've walked away from a days airsoft sore and aching more times than I can count but even I feel sorry for the person on the receiving end of this! 😮

  16. First outing with a DMR this weekend. Wow! now I need to spend big bucks on 36's as the 32's just seemed to be falling short.

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Mmm, there's quite a jump in price between .32 and .36, I'm still too cheap to make the leap.  If you splash the cash, it would be great to get an airsoft-metres estimate of how much more effective range you see from them.

    2. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      @Rogerborg I was looking at pricing last night, 32s about £15 for 3000, 36's I was like oooo £18 that's not bad, yeah for 1000 not 3000 😐 Comparitive brand. Cheapest I've found so far is Blaster Devils for £23 for 3000.
      Site I played was a 450 DMR limit, I want to see how different a 400 site feels with the same 32's.

    3. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      @Rogerborg to answer your question with the ol' range study spreadsheet @400fps equivalence (1.49j) .36's come out at 1.88m further for the "effective range" criteria, which is a hop set for 20cm of rise and the range calculated for when the bb drops back down to the firing level.

       

      0.48's using the same criteria are 6.21m further.

       

      of course that's assuming that the extra hop needed isn't dropping the energy, which in reality may or may not end up being more important than the theoretical improvement.

       

  17. New gameplay now live ! @Rogerborg has already picked me up on a bad habit so please go easy 🥺

      Rogerborg

      That guy's a dick though, I wouldn't pay any attention to him and his bitter ranting.  That looks like a really fun site and game.

  18. You in this anywhere?

     

  19. Opinions on this Specna please? Looking at a DMR convert with kythera I already have

      I mean if you're just gonna rip out the internals and shove a hpa engine in it, just pick any skin that you like.

      Mmm, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just go for the cheapest metal bodied shell that you can find.

    3. Steveocee

      I have no idea. Was cheapest 14" rail I found on looking at one site 😂 Have changed tact to a G&G SRXL though now 😎

      @ak2m4 chatting with them it was a horse dressage practise barn. The flooring is completely dirt with rubber over it. All structures are mostly pallet and canvas, they have truly done an amazing job. So glad it's so local to me.

      Thank you for the watch btw 😎

      Hi @steveo! 👋

      As always keep up the good work! 🔫😎👍

      My friend has mentioned a CQB site, we haven’t been to in a couple of years, hopefully get a change to play and get a possible local place for some CQB games? 🤞

      I'm super impressed, I was wondering if the floor had rubber chips on it.  I've been following these guys on their FB page.  Need more sites like this.
