yep, i'm technically one of them and even i'll admit they're a weird bunch.

🖐👋✋🤚

as well as that, i also have to deal with.... wife a teacher and kids at school.... they should keep them shut until the idiot numbers come out after the illegal NY celebrations and xmas and see where we stand towards end of Jan!.... im also a chairman of local U7 to UI18 football teams and we are still allowed to play games and train....so travel within tiers....which isnt allowed under Government rules....FA are a bunch of muppets!. They also need to halt sport as they have done for over 18s! 🤦‍♂️

 

Id feel safer out in the field, tales im many meters from people and in control!

Ordered a couple of bits from two different AliExpress sellers on the 28th of January, one dispatched pretty quickly and arrived on the 18th of February.  Notification that the other has been dispatched received two days ago.  Seems like some stuff is moving but it's very hit and miss.

 

Personally speaking, as long as it's not a return of bubonic plague (death toll 70-200 million) or Spanish flu (death toll 40-50 million) then I'm not too concerned.  The "regular" flu virus kills 300,000-500,000 people a year (source), current global death toll appears to be around 2,800 out of 82,000 reported cases (source), a mortality rate of 3.4%, this obviously does not take into account unreported cases of those people who felt a bit unwell for a couple of weeks, didn't bother seeing a doctor and recovered without an issue, resulting in figures giving more weight to the death toll.

 

Context is a wonderful thing but doesn't sell newspapers.  Either that or I've just become overly cynical following year after year after year of the latest "panic".

Alas this Corona crap is gonna mess a lot of stuff up

 

Many more people like this...

 

 

Great advice from @Rogerborg I learnt this the hard way

And queue a fantastic video pop up in my YT subscription feed from @Armourpiercing. Impeccable timing dude.

yeah I saw that with connector set & vice etc...

saw that this morning - nice dsg vid too

 

I was thinking of buying a Titan on my wish list with Seigetek etc...

 

After watching the vid I am even more determined to

NOT buy a Titan

 

Good vid, amazing build - heck 7.4v would have done

but as Luke said he did it to prove a point

not he can't build it, but chooses NOT to build wanker guns

I can still work

which means being bored by default because I can only do a small portion of what I actually have to do.

 

When I'm home I can't do anything because living in a flat sucks... I can only plink at a chimney on a roof 40m from my window but that's about it

Not yet, servicing all the guns, garden plinking and giving the cars a serious clean inside and out should keep me busy for a good while. Then I'm sure The Boss will find me a few little jobs to do round the house ! Just hope I've got enough BBs to last 

Oh and cruising the Gun porn on the interweb and compiling a huge wish list 🤣

Do I need one in my life? That's the question?

 

I tried the polymer variant previously and it was 'fine'. I know they get a lot of praise, largely for quality versus cost. I've certainly used better (though these were either more expensive, or harder to source), and I've certainly used worse. The part I was least impressed by was the inner belt, which may be more a case of having used what I feel to be much better designed inner belts rather than it being objectively poor. I was toying with trying out the metal buckle version and just using a different inner... but managed to catch myself before falling for the trap of buying something I really don't need because it's cheaper.

But what colour? OMG.... choices 😮

Woodland sites in Scotland are just working out the finer details and then they are free to reopen.

I read through the requirements outlined on the BBC for competitive sports and it included a requirement for testing facilities at the point of entry along with a myriad of other things which to me would indicate it's a bit of premature move. I guess it's just a case of "wait and see" but to be honest I can't see myself returning until things have settled considerably.

As much as I want to play, I would be inclined to wait until it’s advised and likely to be back to normal. I get some places are able to host smaller groups etc but 3v3 or games with squads of 6 in a woodland setting do not appeal to me. 
I think returning for the sale of returning early would cause more issues personally.

Hopefully no problems! 🔫🤞👍

@GAMBLE X-Fire are awesome and send everything on 7 day EMS speedpost. Even if it takes 2 weeks I don't care. I just want my barrel so I can rebuild my capa.

i see nothing wrong here, it's lightweight.

 

highspeedlowdrag y'all

DSG doesn't necessarily mean dual SECTOR gear

 

True, it can also mean...

 

Damaged

Spur

Gear

 

Though in this instance I feel FSG applies

 

Fucked

Spur

Gear

High shipped prices... I'm hardly surprised.  So much fraud has been going on fueled by the rise of eBay that stores are unwilling to use cheaper / untracked services.  

@ak2m4 To be fair you're probably one of the exceptions. Your postage prices are fair and advertised upfront. 😎

That is exactly why I went for the SSX23 instead of building one myself

 

Sourcing all the different parts is a bitch when postage alone is more expensive than the part -.-

Have bought a 5.5" outer to stick onto my AM008 until I can decide 😎 (swapping 5" of outer for 5" of suppressor)

Did the same to my honey badger, went from a 9/10" front end to a 5" one.

Range and accuracy didn't change at all, and somehow it's quieter now 😕

Good stuff!
What's the rif?

Nothing exciting I'm afraid. VSR10

Any sniper rifle that shoots like that is exciting 😉 
 

If you went the HPA M4 mag adapted pistol route, I'm afraid we would have to report you for crimes against airsoft.

Yeah on reflection I was tired and extremely bored lol

it seems so, we'll let this little transgression slide this time but any more heretical thoughts you'll have to report to the ministry for cleansing.

That's the benefit of being part of the whole. The forum being the whole.

Like minded folk with crazy ideas and wants,who can talk gibberish and still be understood cause at the end of the day we all talk the same gibberish.

Some more than others of course!😋

As @Lozartsays "it's good to talk"

My rates are:

£45 per hour standard

£50 per hour if you want me to listen.

£60 if you want answering.

Words of wisdom.....priceless

😉🙂

Regards 👍

I went through some shit times for while too sir, on/off for 2-3 years.

If you feel low, wanna sound off or anything pm me sir.

For anyone on Facebook, it's worth checking out this place https://www.facebook.com/groups/2322408757979991 It's an airsoft centric mental health group.

It's a flesh..... no. Gone for an SRS as I'm bored of the VSR platform.

Should have gone for a fleshlight then.

The one I have is only a year old with minimal use lol

@Steveocee, if you get any luck... please do let me know... I'm 5'2 - and have the same problem!!

 

Cheers

@Steveocee hueys sell the OPS trousers by the way https://www.hueys.co.uk/epages/es151784.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es151784/Categories/Category1/Trousers plus The Heresy Group have a discount code HERESY10

Magic thank you @Lozart I'll have a dig through their site.

You never smelled petrol?

@Stoker love petrol smell. Propane was like acrid ass.

Petrol is the greatest smell in the world..... especially when it has fuel additive in it!! Then again I have been sniffing that stuff most of my adult life so it may have had an effect!

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. 

The ETU Upgrade Kit I have has been an absolute lifesaver on my ARP-9. Can't recommend that thing enough for all G&G ETU users.

@Skara I've just installed it and I can't believe how happy I am with it! It allows me to use ALL of my batteries now, the precocking is amazing! Binary is very nice, I feel happier knowing I have lipo alarm and it's also small enough that I can now run 1400 11's in the stock and buffer.

Yup.

Mine's now going into my brand new KA PDW as soon as I find a full ETU at a reasonable price.

same, go to order a plugboard and end up getting a MAXX hop unit as well.

 

tbf i was gonna buy one eventually anyway, at least that's what i'm telling myself to let me sleep at night.

I mostly find myself panicking when ordering as I try to bundle as much as I can to save on postage and end up massively overspending even though I would buy the stuff eventually. Worse still is most places have 1 thing not the other in stock and vice versa from another seller so at that point I've talked myself into buying so why stop now?

Only a small shopping list left now though.

always the way, probably not actually saving that much but it's one of those things that feels like it makes sense.

Apparently I'm not even a year in I got this though:

 

Yep, same. 

hello guys this is my first post is the galaxy g1 pistol good for skimirshing? i want to upgrde it to 350 fps

Lol realised what that could imply 😐 neither you guys @Rogerborg or @Sitting Duck able to help out then? 😉

Alas mine isn't that long....

it is what you do with it I tell Mrs Duck

(but she responds all small owners say that)

 

they are about still if Pete is out...

best of luck

 

 

Haha, I honestly stopped selling 200mm since no bugger even wanted them

No you just make something.

Get a titanium gearbox.

Your doing it wrong then. Remove the Buffer tube, soda blast it, polish it, then laquer it, once you’ve done that, start on the rest of the metal parts!

At least 5 on the short list and that doesn't include the 2 "regular" sites we enjoy gracing.

Fair enough. 👍

 

No there isn't. 

Come on now... what did you get????

He hasn't gone yet 😂

 

Regards 

I need sleep!

 

@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? 🤞

💷GAMBLE💷

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.
