  1. Waiting for my UKARA to come through for a fortnight now.  Not impatiently waiting to spend my money at all :D

      Aye I can confirm as well that it's usually instant, got mine renewed a month ago and had the owner tell me they would be dropping it into the UKARA database around noon on the tuesday, got an email at 1pm with my UKARA player number. 

       

      Just seems like your site owner is a lazy git

  2. Booked on for the 12th of November game at Area 66. Will be my first game since well before the pandemic! Also ordered some prescription inserts for my goggles since I'm old and blind now... Will be interesting to see the difference and if I actually needed glasses sooner or if I was genuinely fogging up.

      Hope you enjoy your game at A66! I've had some enjoyable games there the past few times I've played so hopefully you have a similar experience!

  3. Been hearing the term "professional airsofter" too much recently. There's no such thing.

      I'd argue that youtuber's who use airsoft as a job/source of income are professionals, perhaps not in skill but if they're making a living off of it then that's good enough to count as being a professional imo.

  4. Just had a look at some CYMA AK47 midcaps.  Several going at around £20, the cheapest being £13 odd after postage.

     

    I'm sure I paid less than £4 per 70 rounder from TG about six years ago.  

     

    First world problem and all that but still.

      Aye I'm dealing with that as well, plenty of fun wee guns I'm interested in buy with how low to non-existant the stock of mags are for them I can't justify paying £20 for a rarely working high cap from Iraq. 

       

      Buying stuff for this hobby now is essentially a constant reminder of how stupid people in Britain are.

  5. Cant tell if its all computer games or my general bias towards the larger calibre Rifs, but why am I now looking at Scar H's?

    1. Akuma121

      Akuma121

      Video games definitely influence me on what I want to purchase. I went out and got a ASG B&T USW A1 since it was used in the latest Resident Evil game. I'm also do the same with Scar's at the moment thanks to good old Escape from Tarkov.

  6. Hi, ALL! 👋

    Just got my new winter BDU loadout top today, a parka, Czech surplus, what a bargain! 💷😆👍

    Can’t wait to test this in the field and wear casually, also can take the thermal layer out, remove the collar and hood, for any occasion! 🔫😎👍

    Not easy to get at the moment, but thankfully I bought mine in the UK, without any issues! 🤔

    I know, it only mentions hospitality, but I'm inferring no change to anything.  Sports only ever gets mentioned as an afterthought.

     

    Looks like indoor airsoft is staying shut until at least November up here.  I'd lay odds that it's not re-opening until next year. If ever.

     

    I've tried to stay away from politics, but this puritan wee bism is loving playing the reluctant dictator, while criminalising more and more things that she doesn't approve of (i.e. fun).  It's the Presbyterian way.

      @Rogerborg haha when you say it like it does sound like a horrid site but it genuinely is a great experience for an outdoors site.

       

      They did just post on the players group on facebook that they're cutting down on waiting times between rounds so you're expected to restock and attend the next game briefing immediately or else you'll be sitting that one out if you miss it. It's an outdoor site so you can't be upset with getting dirty or dealing with mud and insects when you knew what you were getting into.

       

      There is a decent amount of walking involved as it's an outdoor site, unlike the depot where starting zones and respawns are 30-45 seconds away at most. In reality at max you're walking for 5 minutes and that's if they end up using the bridge area for one of the games, otherwise it's a 2-3 minutes walk to your start zone.

       

      it's shite that they don't chrono your guns at the start of the day, there's not a proper excuse for it pre-covid but now I'd argue that organising players to chrono from the start  while keeping people safely apart would take too long and be too much of a risk. If you're suspected of using a hot gun or there's one in play then you'll be told to chrono on the way back to the safe zone.

       

      Trip hazards are sadly gonna be expected when it comes to outdoors, literally the first time I played airsoft was renting at section 8 and I slipped off a small tiny wee ledge and ended up getting a nasty bruise on my shin for a month. All I can say is to wear good quality footwear and some knee pads if you've got any. The site did have a case of arson happen to it a year or so ago so quite a few wood barricades were burnt down to nothing but a lot of the bases are still coated with barricades and have the occasional knee-body sized trench around em.

       

      Worst comes to it mate it ends up not being for you, might as well get your money's worth tomorrow and try to have some fun with it.

      Apologies for the mini essay, just trying to clear some stuff up so you don't think you're going to a third world country inspired airsoft site tomorrow :)

      I think that because of the limited numbers now there it'll still be about a similar amount of cars showing up and they did mention that they've changed the parking area to avoid people being too close together, but I can't speak for it since I haven't been there in a year.

       

      I reckon even if the weather is shite you should still go, you're gonna get coated in mud or swallowed by the irn bru goo during a dry day might as well get what you paid for unless you're not fully committed to getting hosed down in the garden after a gameday there 😂

  20. Can I get some input for TRMR pouch options? had it fall out of my kydex holster too much to trust I can run without losing a fair wack of cash and while there are better designed kydex holsters out there but hesitant to drop 30-35 on them to loose 100 quid in a field. 

  21. Ah, the joys of ordering from China..

     

    Bought a replica 551 Eotech at the end of last year. Just under a month later it arrives and it's missing the battery contacts. Tell the supplier who say no worries, they'll send a replacement.

     

    2 months later.. nothing. Contact them again. They say they'll send another parcel. It arrived today, 7 months after initial purchase and I shit you not the contacts for this are missing too.

      Yeah it's an aluminium slide so 150% should work out alright with it considering the stock TM one isn't pushing the slide far back enough to load another shot in.

      I purchased a Guarder slide off of another member on here and they threw in a Guarder lightweight blow back housing for free. I switched over my parts but kept the TM blow back housing in and it still got stuck behind the hammer so I decided to switch over to the Guarder one so it saves me doing it in the future and luckily enough that was the missing piece of the puzzle to solve my problem!

       

      All I've got left to do now is to pick up a 150% recoil spring and my wee murder machine is ready to murder again :)
