So you've had this experience before?
 
Now you're just asking for it.

This thread is getting ridiculous.  Five pages or arguing must be a record.
 
The reality is its his site and he can make whatever rules he wants.
If you don't agree then don't go.  End of
Jeeez 🙄

MP5 too heavy? 😲
 
AAP-01 with drum or 50rnd mags and a stock?

Great, as if one argumentative thread isn't enough lol

I've played a fair bit of CQB and my local site initially tested only on 0.2's, but saw the error of their ways and now you test on the setup you plan to use. They'll pop a few BBs out of your mag to check the weight, they even have more than one chrono so no-one needs to faff about changing the BB weight settings. This leads to an efficient chrono and eliminates any joule creep issues as the game setup is the one that is measured rather than an inaccurate one set by the sites rules (which is a bit of an own goal tbh).
 
I'm not a fan of HPA because a gunbilical cord isn't my thing, but from what I can make out the issues with HPA stem from either Joule creep due to testing inadequacies (see how my local site started out), or the operator willfully abusing the system and not being caught. In an ideal world everyone would understand joule creep and understand that if a site were testing on 0.2's then they would need to be under the limit if they were planning on using 0.3's. In an ideal world our honour system would enough to stop a post-chrono regulator tweak even being considered. But it's not an ideal world is it.
 
At the end of the day, it's your site, your rules. Stoke's miles away from me and I'll probably never visit; I'm sharing my experiences and some thoughts on chrono and levelling the field. Do what you like, but I find simple rules are easier to understand, follow and police - 1.14j on the ammo you're using is all you need to say.
 
Also, I can't believe no-one's mentioned shotguns in four pages! Are you really doing survival horror properly if you don't have a short-barreled shottie? 😁
 
All the best with the Seige though 👍

If you're in the the UK then either get rid of it or never show it to anyone as its illegal.
If the vent is not straight through from the breech then its a film prop and can ONLY be owned with a Film/TV Armorer certificate.
If the vent is straight from the breech like a normal barrel then its totally illegal and would be treated as a section 5 firearm so VERY bad to own.

Depends on what you mean by “displayed here”
 
This is an airsoft forum.  Blank firing guns are not relevant.
No matter what form of venting 
 
If you however are referring to physically ‘displaying’ blank firers in a location in the UK (eg mounting them on a wall display) then UK LEGALLY COMPLIANT blank firers are legal to possess, without legal controls other than common sense (they do not need to be stored in gun cabinets etc) But should not be accessible to minors or in sight from inappropriate locations - hung up on the wall near a window could result in police at the door to investigate 
 
Most importantly, forward venting blank firers are not UK legal, and would be treated as a Section 5 firearm.  You would need a firearms licence, which is unlikely to be authorised for a blank firer, and would need to be stored in an approved gun cabinet

Worst ever first post award.

When you call you ask if a UKARA number is associated with 'name' and/or 'address' and if currently valid.

GDPR would stop them from giving out or confirming an address surely?
 
only thing they can do is confirm that UKARA number belongs to the named player

My understanding is there are a number of friendly retailers, such as firesupport, that are happy to confirm the validity of ukara details, including the address for delivery. 

I don't assume anything, by your own admission researching a seller is extra effort & you'd rather go to a retailer, a as I previously said, your money, your choice. 
The point being discussed, that many don't agree with, understandably, is the defence of cosplay has little bearing on airsoft, open to abuse by non airsofters, which in turn puts everything at risk for the genuine players. 
I sympathise with your situation, I too provide 24/7 care, literally day & night, to a relative, unpaid I should add, who is disabled & has dementia.
Add to that I've been receiving cancer treatment since 2021, & severe orthopaedic issues mean I currently can't climb or descend a flight of stairs unaided, so I know exactly how hard it can be to attend games, or even cope with getting around some sites.
(I'm determined to not let the health crap force me to quit) 
Cosplay would have been piss easy for me to use to buy rifs, but I don't agree with it for Airsoft rifs for all the reasons previously mentioned, maybe cosplayers and reenactors should have been made to go down the route of deacts or similar, in order to not "muddy the waters" for airsofters. 
& as has been mentioned, maybe people like you & I, who find themselves in difficult personal situations should have more flexible options for attaining a ukara defence. 
I'll put this out there as a general question, for example has anyone ever approached a site where they've started playing, but for whatever reason have had a protracted break between games, & asked the site to honour the previous games & make an allowance for the time away ?, allowing players get ukara approval. 

Bumped into a random guy yesterday, who recognised me from here. Sorry dude, didn't catch your name. 
Thought I'd pop back and say "HI I'M STILL ALIVE".
 
I marshal more than I play these days.
Yesterday was a fun day at Red Alert, with 111 players.
Surprisingly, with that number,  I got no reports of hit calling or the like, though in the afternoon we did have to deal with an issue of a kid being bullied by a group of other kids. 
 
I was, of course, wearing my Irish camo yesterday, or lepretarn. Just the shirt. 
 
And apparently I'm now the authority on tag rounds, as I was referred to as the tag grenade guy by two different people yesterday.
What can I say, I enjoy blowing people up at range.
