Site Name: UCAP Greenops Contact detailss: 07590 818881 Website Address: GreenOps Liphook (ucap.co.uk) Facebook Page: UCAP Airsoft | Facebook Site Address: 1 New Lodge, Hollycombe, Liphook GU30 7LP Welcoming in the 2021 "Season" of SE Tour reviews, we started at UCAP Greenops on 18/04/2021 The only UCAP site within the SE Tour brief. UCAP needs no introduction in the world of airsoft events. Running four different sites that are quite different to the standard Airsoft Fayre. Greenops is their only pure woodland site. This site was about the limit to our arbitrary travel time limits taking an hour and a half to get to @Albiscuitand a further hour and half to the site. Greenops is the lesser talked about, but well reviewed site in the UCAP roster, it is a small woodland site situated on a slight slope. There is a mix of clear areas and very thick foliage. Multiple structures and earthworks dotted around the site. Unusually it is very sandy underfoot. Short to medium engagement distance. Good: Playing Area: This was the best part of the days experience. A small woodland site, but has lots of manmade props, including a two story church, FOB, airplane fuselages and assorted huts. The bushes are very thick with branches and can be difficult to traverse unless determined so most are forced down the cleared/recognised paths. Even though the site is small, running games in different directions keeps it fresh for at least the day we played. Clientele: There was a limit of around 50-60 players due to COVID. Mostly experienced players with only a couple of people who had never played before. Everyone was quite friendly in the safe zone, maybe a little "too" friendly considering the pandemic. There was very little griping during the day, people just happy to play. Hit taking: Was pretty good all day long. I only heard a couple of minor complaints. Turn around time: There was the intention of having back to back games until lunch, however despite being warned, players didn't bring enough ammo, so there were more breaks then wanted. This is not the marshal's fault as they would have been happier to stay out playing. Otherwise the turn around to time was good and the marshals kept putting on games until people were too tired to carry on past 4:40pm. Average: Marshalling: Due to the small site size and good amount of marshals, you could find one pretty quickly. They were pretty hands off and relaxed. Safety Brief: It started off mentioning that it wont be as long a "Mall" briefing, but ended up being much longer and without the wit of Luke. It was long, but covered everything you needed to know. Game Modes: Were fairly basic, mostly defend/attack and fetch quest games. It worked quite well and probably takes the small size of the site into account, however it would have been nice to see a fall back game that utilised the entire site. Value: £25 not bad for what you get in terms of a playing area. Car Park/Entrance: Well sign posted, long and bumpy dirt road up to the two car parks. The second car park had only just been created, however was not quite big enough as cars were penned in and had to wait for others to move to get out. Safe Zone: During lockdown this was expanded along with the car park. It's a wooden structure which is predominantly under cover. Much like the car park, it's not big enough to support the numbers that arrived. However due to COVID, everyone set up in the Car Park anyway. Toilets: A portaloo, but we didn't see it, or use it, so can't really judge this either way. Bad: Chrono: Everyone's primaries were chronoed at the beginning of the day as you walk into the safety brief and first game. None of the guns were marked, you only had the opportunity to chrono one rifle which is the one you bring to the first game. Any other rifles you used in subsequent games were not checked. In the safety brief they justified it by saying people remove tags and put it on other rifles or change the spring on the sly. If they caught anyone with a hot gun, it's an immediate dismissal, however I didn't see any chrono checks after the initial one in the morning. I really don't agree with the site view on this. FPS limits are 350 for AEGs, 420 for DMRs and 500 for BASR. Gas pistols were not checked and you chrono using your bb weight. Shop: We didn't see any shop on site. The website states they sell the essentials so it's unlikely they would sell anything beyond gas and bbs. Food: We didn't see any at the time. apart from a tea urn. According to the website they only sell snacks (Though due to COVID they might not have sold anything). So bring your own lunch. COVID awareness: I didn't hear much if anything mentioned about social distancing or COVID awareness. Other sites have enacted social distancing and enforced the use of fabric masks in the safe zone. I didn't see any of this at Greenops. Wall of BBs: The amount of full auto and trigger spam got worse throughout the day, people were just hammering bushes hoping to get a kill. I'd like to see semi auto only on AEG's during the day. Conclusion: Despite the somewhat average review, we did enjoy our time at Greenops. The playing area was rather unique for a woodland setting in that it could be classed as CQB in many areas. It reminds me of certain parts of Red 1 Chislehurst but with more variation. The size of the site was small, but we were knackered come the end of the day due to the long walks back to respawn, we think having a moveable spawn point that follows the action will improve the skirmishes and participation. It would be interesting to see what happens to the playing area in the future and if they can actually fit anymore stuff into a small footprint such that it is. But it's mostly the ancillary things that needs improvement, safe zone, parking, food, shop etc. If you are looking for CQB, but out in the lovely Hampshire sunshine, Greenops will probably tick your boxes! Bullpup Watch: Only one, and that was the SOC-AR of mine. Best Guess Map:

SE Tour Review: AWA Herts (Hertfordshire)
Asomodai replied to Asomodai's topic in Skirmish Sites, Stories & Reviews
I have been back since this review. Not much has changed though they have started using different areas of the site. It is slowly getting better, COVID pending. -
It might be happening. Or its just a Boy version. 😉 Looks like they are releasing another updated Glock as well.

Day 46. No sign of it :-(. Still in customs I think. -
The most efficient build with usable ROF would be a 22tpa high torque neo motor (I believe the existing motor is ferrite) with the stock 18:1s. If you short stroke it, the recoil will be less due to the system used. Put a small precocking mosfet in and it should be quite usable. I am going to be in a worse position then you though as I am putting a Kac style rail on the front with the bottom missing to allow the XM26 fitment. Which means I have to cable tie a small nunchuck into the top of the handguard. Not keen on a PEQ box. Rof is already quite slow and I wouldn't try to increase it that much anyway due to the recoil system. The 22TPA may make it slightly faster then stock if anything. Tbh the best mod would be changing to a sopmod stock. But I want to keep the Socom for the Terminator Salvation loadout.

I had been looking at the same BAWs from Bespoke ever since they reduced them before Christmas. Decided to bite the bullet and grab one. Gonna replace the motor with one with more torque so I can use 7.4vs. Xm26 will be going on this as well as a rail system and longer barrel. For the Terminator Salvation look!

More sizing woes: Got my Russian Sniper suit and Black Moss suit through! They sent the wrong size sniper suit. Its a 58/60 when I asked for 56/58. Even wearing a belt up around my belly button isn't enough!
Seller has asked me to look at someone who can do alterations here... I doubt anyone would take it on considering the rear of the trousers are made of mesh with string vest material sewn into it...
I'll probably end up sending it back to Russia 😞

My TM Mk23 is being very finicky with hop. I will set the hop and it will lift .48s fine. 30 minutes later I'll test fire and the hop is non existent (I need to loosen off the screws as it is over hopping to the point it doesn't hop) Parts list. Twin screw hadron TDC Hadron H Arm Plate Maple Leaf Autobot 50 degree Maple Leaf CJ 133mm Inner barrel Normal green gas. Someone on the forums suggested I file down the tab on the inside of the hop unit for the barrel to sit right, however my barrel has the correct cuts. Someone else also suggested using a 60 degree ML rubber, but I am unsure of that as I haven't heard this problem from other people. Any idea why this may be happening as the hop shouldn't be changing with the TDC mods? I am constantly having to readjust whether on the same mag or switching mags. Cheers!

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Asomodai replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I wanted to shrink it a little bit, so turned it inside out and washed it at 10 degrees hotter then I should have. Sadly it didnt shrink, but even inside out, it faded where as my jacket is still full colour. The Predators I have ordered are the same size, but has a higher waist, so hopefully will fit better. They sold their last Large this morning so had to plump for XL. My waist is right on the cusp of the two sizes. I have given up on the dye idea and sold the Revenger Trousers to a fellow forumite -

Dying Camo From Desert/Green to Blue/Black (Vegetato)
Asomodai replied to Asomodai's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I really like the black/blue hue in the photo. My guess is they used Black dye for natural fibers so the poly ripstop squares and stitching still shows. But because of the base brown tan and green the black is sorta blueish. Is that a reasonable assumption in your professional opinion? Or should I go for a synthetic dye? My trousers are 35/65 poly/cotton. -
Dying Camo From Desert/Green to Blue/Black (Vegetato)
Asomodai replied to Asomodai's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Darn. I figured as much. Thanks for the advice! I think black is the answer 😕 -
Hello all. Some of you are aware of my new but fading Vegetato trousers. I had put them up for sale but I am having a rethink about what to do with them. I came across these two Variants of Vegetato, the Navy/Blue one and a one off wargames dyed Black one. Here are my trousers. Do you think its possible to get the Blue Navy effect using something like Blue Dylon? Essentually turning the tan/green and brown colours into blue? Should I use a light or dark blue colour? Alternatively I do like the obviously dyed Black of the second photo (You can see the Ripstop and poly stitching) Anyone tried dying camo before? Do you think I could get a decent Blue?

New Site Announcement. Ex Delta Force - Cobham Surrey.

Indeed. I wonder if Campaign and Delta will operate Saturday/Sundays to make it a double header weekender. -
Taiwangun Shipping Disruption (Brexit Related Content)
Asomodai replied to Speedbird_666's topic in General Discussion
Just tried to open an investigation as UPS CS urged me to. Cant even open one as I get an error message everytime. Have emailed Gunfire to open a dispute. Its only a small order, but it includes 4 sets of 5 PPS shotgun shells which are so bloody difficult to get. I have a new XM26 that I have no idea it works as I haven't any shells for it! -

Welp. -
Just spotted Ambush Adventures have acquired their own site. The old Delta Force site in Cobham. Ambush used to run games at the Campaign Paintball site nearby. https://campaign-paintball.com/airsoft-walk-on-skirmish/ Looks like the old Delta Paintball sites are being mothballed as AP acquired the use of the Delta Force site next to them last year (Tower Airsoft) The site, much like the Campaign site is public transportable from London. Get your wookie suits on and equip your Star Wars blasters.
