Heh, I also wrote essentially the same, then deleted it as "too much information". I completely agree.

Could be worse, this is what you get if you don't have an OnlyFans to pay for your airsoft toy. No sources verified, posted for WTF purposes only. [UPDATE] Reminder that everything that we're currently seeing is "trusted source" propaganda, all the way down.

I hope so, but there's no minimum standard for running an airsoft site. It doesn't appear to be a UKARA site, and I'd wonder if they even have indemnity insurance.

Just another thot. The next picture is of her all geared up next to some KTM enduros, which I assume is all she did. Dressed up, got pictured, got paid, went home. I don't find "Go and risk your life doing what I'm just LARPing" particularly admirable.

Thots gonna thot. War is great for propagandists and profiteers. Given the name of the person fronting it, I'd suspect it's a Polish chap who has brought some issues over with him. I really do hope that our gutter press don't pick up on that lunacy, or if they do that they at least focus on the absolutely correct "absolute melt" responses.

It'd have to be a big crowd, and you'd have to sell every item to cover the price. I guess if you really enjoy wheeling and dealing and don't value your own time you might recoup the cost of collecting it, if you live close enough.

I generally run my adjustable scope at its claimed minimum of 3x when it's on my DMR. At airsoft ranges, with airsoft accuracy, it's all that I need.

I'd emphasise that this means nothing to your potential buyer. They're looking at a used toy with no warranty which might be in anywhere condition from mint, to completely wrecked. The classifieds are full of unsold examples of "nearly new" toys offered for sale at nearly-new prices which nobody feels inclined to pay.

If that's a real thing, do you eat it with a spoon?

Well, I now regret wasting my edgy meme after seeing what Airsoft Cardiff have been up to.

Third-party trying too hard to be an edgelord, I'd suspect. Well, the good news is that the meeja decided to go with the "players outraged" narrative. Deep breath, and remember that anything else said might be used against us.

A gentle reminder of the playbook for when you get a call / message from someone claiming to be a reporter from the Daily Drama, demanding that you explain why you refuse to disavow the Russian-Nazi-Nonce-Lizards infesting your hobby. 1) Put the phone down / delete the message, and block. Give them nothing, not one single word. 2) Repeat as necessary for up to 7 days. 3) The story is over.

I was amused to see a Failbook post today by UKAPU saying that the Discord for yesterday's AGM had been changed due to technical issues. Thing is, I've been a UKAPU "member" for years, regularly re-"joining", and yet I've never received one single solitary email, ever, about anything. I've been following them on Failbook as well, see-all selected, but I only ever notice a belated "Yeah, bros, here's what we decided all UK airsoft players wanted" notifications about once a year. I've also never seen it promoted on any site, group, or forum, and I'm at a loss to recall how I ever heard about it. I'm vaguely aware that someone on here is involved with UKAPU. On the remote off-chance that they're reading this, I'd have to opine that UKAPU appears to be a club run by-and-for the handful of people who run it. I've seen no evidence to suggest that it's a players' body in any meaningful sense.

It's an acute situation, but there are few real world LARPs that don't have the potential to result in offence being taken by someone who identifies strongly with the other side. We live in a multi-cultural society, and not every UK resident views UK forces as the "goodies". But for a multi-cultural society to work, we need to live in this society, not import identities and conflicts from other places or other times. That said, restraint goes both ways, and it would be a dick move to flex about your Spetsnaz costume right now. Since I don't identify as a Russian conscript or a Ukrainian partisan (and couldn't recognise either at three paces), I have no Sukhoi in this fight. My only real interest is in not having anything kick off for real while I'm trying to enjoy my own LARP. Shrugs, I guess, this too shall pass.

Ongoing might qualify as "too soon".

2008 predicted this.

Sadly, where far too many sites run their entire business, and half-termers ask "wut am best gnu 4 winr8 budget £30 2 £2500" (as an image macro). It's literally the only reason I'm on there. I mean, the first part.

Oi, you got a loicence to sell them permits? OP's big brain thinking: "Right, Nardo, I've had a stable genius idea, all I need from you is to do all the work, take all the risk, collect all the money, then send it all to me. Don't bother paying any local taxes, rents or utility bills, because obviously they don't apply to me." I'm not entirely comfortable that this lad has even got his hand on two tones.

Since UKARA is just a central register of site membership (all UKARA numbers are created by sites) I'd be minded to contact the site directly, if for no other reason than that they might come back with "Joe Bloggs? We punted him for being a mental case." Are you really that bothered though? I can point at several retailers who accept bogus "defences", or none at all, without consequence for them.

If they were demonstrably there before the date of the incident, i.e. on archive.org This is also why sites who are run a via Facebook "About" page might also be making a liability rod for their own backs. Thankfully there aren't a lot of incidents, and the Absolute Airsoft case went quiet so I assume was settled by the insurer out of court. That's what indemnity insurance is there for, to cover you when things go wrong. One thing I would highlight is that the Vowles vs Evans and Welsh Rugby Union court case has set a clear precedent that even unpair volunteer referees do owe a duty of care for the rules they agreed to help enforce. So as well as not being thanked for marshalling, you might (just conceivably) find yourself named as a co-defendant.

I'd argue quite the opposite. If it comes to a dispute, where's the record of what you actually said? This isn't abstract, it was the key disputed issue in the blinding compo case noted above. Bear in mind that reality takes a back seat as soon as solicitors get involved: they are paid, professionally, to call you a liar.

£240 of RIFs, plus Bogging Blue paint. The usual random assortment of burn-your-house-down chargers, Pinty-knock-off, BBs and mags. Mirror-posing use only, maybe. Being "given" away for only £400! (And you have to collect) PatrolBase should really start marketing these as "buyer's regret packages".

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. We have a classifieds section here specifically for wanted ads: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/17-guns-wanted/

They're Walting at over 9,000! The tin badges on that Lieutenant-General-Vice-Colonel's cap are awesome. Oh, I think their pants would be filled with something, but not solids out the back... at first.

The usual suspect "BB" sites have a few, although sadly 2-toned. CYMA CM.5xx M4s are cheap, robust and ripe for tinkering, if you don't mind the cheap ToyTown plastic body.
