  1. They're called hose, you peasant, and they're very comfy and practical and completely butch. ?
  2. It is baffling why nobody is manufacturing reasonably priced ones now given the thirst for them. Quoth the Gospel of Luke.
  3. Is this fantasist melt trying to flip on some Collector's Edition toy that he doesn't even have yet? That's a new low. 100% chance that this geezer also has a stack of Dogecoin, and an NFT of a monkey waving a TAC-338, that he might be persuaded to let go for the right price.
  4. Ripping the piss out of people who make poor purchases. Sadly, with a G&G CM16, you've left us very little to work with there, it's a very solid choice. Although... you wouldn't happen to have any Crye Precision gear, would you? (Also, ahoy, and welcome)
  5. Yes, but if you're really concerned about gaps, then why rule out a Dye or equivalent? The I-force have decent seal and the dual pane works pretty well. The inner lenses are prone to some peculiar crazing. Mine didn't do that, but I replaced them with some cheap PETG anyway when they got a bit mucky and scuffed. I'd recommend them at the price as a default choice. Although bear in mind that Murcans tend to run at higher energies, and everybody loves a good "I nearly got turned into a newt" story.
  6. Nothing worse than an unkempt French growler. Eh, every hobby has a few people with no other interests who take it all far too seriously. Add in a dab of adrenaline, and... <rant> Sensible sites list a maximum Joule limit and chrono with the ammo you're going to use. It's not rocket science, pretty much all airsoft chronos will show you a Joule number once you've selected the weight. Lazy sites chrono everything on 0.2g even though essentially nobody is using that any more. This ignores Joule creep, which refers to higher weight BBs picking up a bit - or a lot - more energy while they're travelling up the barrel, and holding onto it for longer in flight and hitting harder. If your local site is really still chronoing with 0.2g, you'll just have to grin and bear it. Chasing the site energy / fps limit isn't the be-all and end-all of competitiveness in airsoft, unless you're running a high rps BB hose and spraying and praying at extreme range. Shot to shot consistency is far more important for effective range. </rant>
  7. Ahoy and welcome - as long as you're willing to acknowledge that your revolting colony owes its independence to the French. Now I know you're winding us up. I've watched plenty of airsoft videos from the USA, and it seems clear that the rules for face-shots are that you need to flip out and fight him in real life.
  8. Reminder to self: don't be tempted to click on "Show this post", it will only remind you why you've got some people blocked for the good of your blood pressure and sanity.
  9. That'll be a nice change, given that most times when someone signs up just to trash a business there turns out to be an entirely different side to the story. While their terms aren't enforceable, and you would ultimately end up getting your money back via your payment processor or a court claim, I actually appreciate their honesty regarding the fragility of airsoft toys, particularly gas blowbacks, and especially upgraded / "upgraded" ones. It would be nice if this wasn't true, but it is, and buyers should be made aware of it so that we have realistic expectations. https://www.milspecsolutions.co.uk/terms-and-conditions.html
  10. That doesn't claim to have a hop, not even the fixed hop on CYMAs. That's not to say that it doesn't, but I've not had much like with tri-shot springers. My ASG Franchi has no hop and is for (very) CQB only. My CYMA CM.351 with fixed hops is (literally) all over the place, and there's no weight of BB that gives anything like consistent groupings at any range. I enjoy them, and agree that they're viable in CQB, but I reckon it's a matter of luck whether you get a usable one. Heh, we were just discussing those. They look to be out of stock everywhere that's flogging them for under £60!
  11. Wait, what? People have been drinking from your bottle? Even if they thought it was site-supplied, that's manky.
  12. That one is £9 from PatrolBase, if they had any, but they don't. £25 from Bullseye, when they have them. You can buy a different one from £69 from FireSupport, which is in stock because... well... you're not going to buy it, are you? £60 from a UK manufacturer. They're very cheap, if you're in the market for not buying one.
  13. I'll get some fresh sheets ready.
  14. Seller is BritForceFam tho. You not wanting to help our heroes, m8?
  15. Thus many (most? all?) sites requiring anyone with a MED primary to also have a sub-1.13J secondary.
  16. Some might wonder how we'd notice. Some might say "I'm leathering it because I'm really tired" isn't exactly being careful, now.
  17. Diet Irn Bru, when it's taps aff weather.
  18. If I were king of an airsoft site, I'd mandate that for DMRs, with a 2 second delay. Then I'd test them all at every respawn. Then I'd just ban them all anyway.
  19. Water + pork pies and peanuts. Eh, if you have no body fat. Simple carbs are just extra fuel on the fire for the rest of us. I guess this gets us back to the "Why don't sites provide free / at cost water" handbag fight again. [Winds up for a swing]
  20. They call themselves Black Rats because they eat their own. Strathclyde Traffic (as was) used to have an annual Christmas sweepstake to see how many other (actual) coppers they could do each December. That bike looks like a hot girl hidden inside a weird costume.
  21. That we don't know whether you need absolutely remedial advice, like "change the spring". And now you're asking about a "350fp" "DMR/sniper" and we have no idea what it is that you actually want, or why, or even whether you've got the idea that slinging 0.48g at 350fps means you don't need a MED (and yes, we have seen that assumption). If you want to be too cool for school and not actually engage with the process of figuring out what you really want, that's fine. We'll be here all night either way.
  22. I'm pretty sure that I've never heard the screech and grind of any airsoft gearbox at 25-30 (real world) metres.
  23. If the mags were all leak free, and if the spare shell had internals, and if it wasn't plus fees, and if it wasn't plus postage, and if it were something else entirely, it would be a bargain.
  24. Why? I don't ask unnecessarily, but the quality of advice that you're going to receive is largely dependent on the details that you put into the question. People do run bolt actions at low enough energies to not need a MED, but it's unusual. And anything that's not a bolt action, and running without a MED, isn't by any stretch of the imagination, a "DMR", isn't just a regular old airsoft gun not being shot very fast. So can you clarify what exactly you're wanting to achieve, and how you imagine that it will differ from what you already have, or how you play?
  25. They're sized for the oriental children who make airsoft guns, not for the overgrown occidental children who play with them. I've got strips of coloured velcro serving as bands, but elastic sounds even easier.
