The O ring is somewhat of a selling point though IMO.

They're relatively cheap pistols. They will always be available and as time goes on more and more will enter the market.
On some sales groups they're as cheap as £65 brand new.

When I burn out, I go somewhere new on my own for a session. I'll either have a great time and it will re-ignite me or I'll see that what I already have nearby isn't actually as bad so will re-ignite to go back.

I used to very much identify as an "airsoft sniper" covid did me a solid and I got into Hi Capa builds and it's been an ongoing "ism" since.
 
Sadly I too like you am one of the single figure % who play airsoft and aren't autistic though so game days with other airsofters are still challenging, that's why I pick who I go with carefully so I have a relaxed time - not neccessarily then "day to end all days" every time.

I'm looking at something cost effective, I'm not going to use it that much to be fair, especially since 0.30g tracers are stupidly expensive and almost impossible to find.
 
Maybe a Brighter C?

I've been in the game for over 20 years too and have had my hands on plenty of guns, mainly 1911s...Your tech is wrong on this.  It's not a TM.

Ask your tech what makes him think it's a TM when;
A - TM are forbidden by Japanese law to manufacture and sell metal pistols.
B - It looks exactly like a Tercel
C - Why are there no trades on the slide?

Seriously, everyone knows TM don't make full metal pistols.  You really think they'd tool up to make this one off and not even put trades on the slide lol

Livin' the dream bud 👍
Glad you had a good time🙂

@Musica have a look at https://hicapahub.co.uk/
He generally carries all the really nice AM stuff, CowCow and AIP as well as 9Ball and PDI barrels.
He's just announced as well he's going to start stocking LA Capa Customs stuff which is blingy.

Thanks all for the advice.

Probably just stick with my TM hi-capa then as it's done me well and 300fps is plenty indoors.

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.
 

they also have a CQB site near halesowen 👍

If you are a sniper you would be better served at stormforce in rugeley.
think a more open gameplay fob.

@Mr. No_Face, for someone who does not want to be here, you are spending a lot of time here.

I'm Luke's best mate.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(Don't tell Luke that he's not my best mate)

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.

Just stop with the lies. You already know you're lining up your next "want" which after a month or 2 will turn into a need which will then turn into a purchase on your CC.

Sat at work, read ETF and automatically assumed you mean "early termination fee" lol 

Keep it up brother 😎

I regularly play CQB with players from 2 local Speedsoft teams. I like it, they provide a high standard of both team and opponent and they're extremely honest.
 
You also don't need ot be running and sliding, you can post up at the back and provide cover. 
 
May throw a spin on airsoft that you never knew you'd enjoy.

F that - sounds far too much like common sense.

@Niktimes3 you're covered through Paypal though as you wouldn't have paid via F&F right?

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.

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

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