Sadly there's no way to comment on the actual begging page at https://gogetfunding.com/airsoft-aeg/ Although you can message the grifter from there, if you register with the site. To wish him luck, no doubt.

Why? He's suffered no particular ills. There's nothing noble about living beyond your means, or grifting.

Played in woodland yesterday, had an OK time, but it mostly reminded me of why I prefer CQB.
Once you've lain in one flooded mossy ditch, you've laid in them all.

That's a fair point, I enjoyed sneaky when I was sniping, but this site has a weird rule about playing twice before you're trusted with a 485fps / 2.2J (double weird) sniper. Not that they're enforcing it in practice, I suspect.
When you're out with a random AEG and all of the games are variants of "rush an objective" on a busy site, it's pretty much the start of Saving Private Ryan over and over again.
-
Yeah, when I'm out with an AEG, I still play like a sniper (sometimes even with the ghillie on too), because I don't like rushing objectives when you know at least three enemy players will be sitting in a bush ready to light you up. People are often amazed when I use less than 1000 BBs in a day while out with an AEG, but that's just my play style and it's what I enjoy.
I think woodland is great if you have people with you, because you can do squad tactics and really dominate the game, however without coordination (which, let's be honest, skirmish airsofters aren't going to coordinate), woodland is... I don't want to say it's bad, but I think I'd prefer CQB if I wanted to play a faster, more rush-like style. Attacking objectives in woodland requires a lot of repeated aggression, or some sort of sneaky super-flank where one guy takes out half the enemy team (which feels amazing in fairness).
-
I treat woodland a lot like cqb though. I find coming from a cqb background you have a few skills woodland players do not have, it was always evident when a woodland squad rocked up at the mall for instance.
I still rush, push forward and play a sneaky style in woodland much like I did at cqb. It doesnt always work granted, but players can be surprised by a lone guy rushing forward when they were not expecting it.

2 many uther projekts m8

Well, tbf, m8, they're an easy fix, but tbh, m8, I just don't have the time. New rubber bands?

Spends £1,136 (plus the rest). "The gun has never been used in game but a few shots have been fired down a range". At a £686 loss, I'd wonder how much each of those BBs cost to shoot. I guess it is a bargain if you want all of those exact parts and are prepared to make them actually work together. Honestly, these adverts just make me sad. Comes with 7 mags and 3 batteries, but has never been used for its intended purpose. Somebody save it!

Fun day with my nephew, if somewhat technically gruelling. One AEG was misfeeding and DOA, one packed in during the day, so he ended up with the venerable CYMA M4 (still going strong) and pistol and I was down to a pump action shotgun. He also lost a pistol mag and dropped another and broke the feed lips, but stuff happens. Hopefully a bit less of a gear grinder next weekend.
-
Expensive day's airsofting at Biohazard today with my nephew: he lost one Glockazine, and dropped another and cracked the feed lips. Ah well, fun was had and nothing lasts forever except WuFlu restrictions.
-
Ask a marshal to escalate it. I know, nobody likes doing it. I don't, we're there to play, not tattle. But more of us should. OK, I hereby personally pledge that every time I catch myself thinking "I wish someone would do something about that bellend" that I'll be the someone. Snitches get moral riches.
-
Er, why weren't they hoofed off site for arguing the toss with a marshal? And why leave the site rather than having a word with the Grand High Wizard about what was going on?

Sites that run entirely on Facebook, and only post their events to a "players" subgroup that you have to find, then apply to join.
Are they trying to fail?

[STAGE WHISPERS] It sold pretty much immediately.

Praise where it's due, this is a pretty honest advert.

Today was a good day to pew hard. My first day at Biohazard airsoft, an Old Abandoned Chemical Factory CQB site A late start and somewhat vague brief in a rather echoey safe zone weren't great, but then the actual play was really fun. I've been rather spoiled by the big indoors area of the Depot, but Biohazard know their site well, and tailored the games to make the best of it. There was actually more opportunities for stand-off firefights up the length of the site than at the Depot, or you could Billy in up the room maze in the middle with pistol and grenades. Short walks to spawn, quick turn-arounds, good marshalling, good value: yes, very happy with that.

Is another word for tribe, and tribalism usually ends badly. Have you considered trying to change the way airsoft is played in Italy? It sounds like a recipe for gamesmanship and acrimony.

I suspect his father was killed with a plastic 1911.

Looks like I'm actually going to be able to play indoors on Sunday before Greet Leader Nicola shuts Scotchland down again.
I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl on her third Roofie Colada!

@Steveocee Seriously ??/ would you give Wee Jimmy Krankie a “seeing to”??? ?

I have a message in my inbox. I hope it's challenging me to a duel... [UPDATE] Huh, more reasonable points. Look, just ban him, we don't need this sort of adult behaviour breaking out around here.
-
It's nothing personal, really. It's just that sight and sound unseen, for all we know your friend is a ham-handed gibbon who's made it worse, it's the £95 plus postage gopping model with the M4 buffer which is going to have a limited market, the mid caps are handy but the blue bits just reduce the value further while not actually making it even close to being an IF. Used plastic CYMAs are bargain guns, I'm afraid. You're free to ask whatever you want, but I think you're more likely to be offered half of that, if you can find anyone who wants that model.
-
Airsoft, I remember that... ? I honestly don't know how you handle that level of bad temper and gamesmanship. It seems orthogonal if not diametrically opposed to the ethos of airsoft.
-
Sounds absolutely bang on though. It's why I'd always suggesting buying a sub-£100 VSR-a-like just to see if you enjoy it. Throw in a £20 spring and piston and you'll be up to 500fps, some cheap tuning and you're much of the way there. Nobritsch is selling a dream - his videos are basically marketing for how effective sniping is. And like all marketing, well, if you believe that, I have a bridge unskirmished fully upgraded SSG to sell you.

Mmm, good observation. Possibly he's assuming that goods coming in from the EU aren't even checked by Border Farce, so he doesn't bother requiring a defence. After all, he's not subject to UK laws, it's purely an economic question of whether the toy gets delivered, returned, or destroyed. It does seem to mostly be US and Far East air mail shipments that people report being stopped, rather than stuff being trucked in from the Continent.
