That would be my first choice too (the CYMA variants are very good too), plus the M14 just feels "right" in the dmr role, something about the traditional battle rifle shape makes every shot feel like your picking targets off, rather than jizzing all over them in a hail of plastic death lol ?

Wise words indeed Your over analysing it, why worry about something that may never happen, alternatively if it did happen your worrying won't have changed anything? As for the kit, it's meant to be used, & will look just as good on the wall even if it's stopped working, so again no excuse to not get out with it. look at sites with a good reputation for ensuring fair play, doesn't matter that site "A" has more features than a Swiss Army knife, if it's badly managed & full of teflon warriors then a bad day is almost guaranteed, so choose carefully, even if it's just bog standard woodland running some simple old skool capture the flag type games etc. Which site is that ? last few years ive experienced similar feelings, but after 20+ years of ptsd & its associated effects, as well as other physical health problems, Airsoft has always been my "medicine" to let off steam so to speak, my real fear now isn't not wanting to play, but having the choice taken away from me, literally today put on a waiting list for a new knee, In addition to last years minimally invasive cancer diagnosis becoming a more pressing issue requiring drastic intervention this year, wtf, more than ever I need to pew pew.

Another +1 for that group, I also joined a while back, I've resisted posting to far, even though I'm going through some dark shit at the moment I can only think the meds are keeping me going, but it's good to know there is somewhere to "talk" or just get it off your chest. That said, I've always found most of the members here to be very open & accepting when subjects like this come up, supportive with a modicum of banter just to lighten the mood, definitely better than full on doom & gloom?

I think it's worth it just for the "CAF" factor ?

Or alternatively, just pack it in, a bit of banter is ok, but clearly you'll both have to agree to disagree & leave it at that, definitely not worth falling out over? Or have a meme war ?, & We'll judge the winner ?

A wee joby no less ?

Yeah, like any of us ever do that ?

Still in the wrong section though ?

Short version, your reply came across as pretty condescending, even if that probably wasn't your intention.

I'm with @Druid799 on this, I've used a number of UK Airsoft retailers over the years, & more often than not they've been piss poor, everything from non existent stock, what they have got is often priced above RRP, & don't get me started on the shit eating attitude towards customers that many of them seem to have, you end up ready to slap some manners in to these twàts. I'm not a sheep, I have a bad experience, whether it's a site or a shop, you'll not get a second chance. so then my my hard earned goes elsewhere, if that means out of the UK, so be it.

Set up another email & PayPal account in a different name ?(maybe use middle names etc, your lot usually have half a dozen ?), Scammers seem to be able to do it all the time with no repercussions ?, It's not like your planning anything illegal.

Walk on & pay on the day ?, Or book in another name etc ?, If the main dickheads don't show their faces, assumedly they'll never know ?, & If the Portishead crew are a decent bunch, can't see them making a fuss.

TBH probably done you a favour, you'll only go & get the hump again, clearly it's not a firm to waste any more time & money on, irrespective of your ban you naughty boy?

So what were you thinking as you gazed lovingly at the guy in the red baseball cap, something like "get da fuq away from me dude, your camo's shite" ?

You owned it from new ? ?

I'd have one just for the Craic, but it'd have to be skirmishable, & there I think lies the problem, being able to set a consistent FPS that's not open to abuse? Guess the only way to do that would be a fixed piston or draw stop, matched to your spring power ? In the past I've considered picking up a cheap bow from wish etc & having a dabble to see what I could come up with.

Very nice Bill, it goes with quite a "thwack", wonder what it would be like with some bean bag rounds lol ?

Was at longmoor & someone had a rifle nicked (allegedly ?), The day overall was shit but I will commend the organisers for stopping the GamePlay & organising a search of the area & vehicles attending, thoroughly conducted by some plod players. Nothing found unfortunately & later the loss was considered "questionable", due to the past antics of the "victim", but I know I'd want the same effort made if my kit went walkabout. @loctez, what site were you playing at ? EDIT: Reading this back I realise it looks as if I'm talking about a recent game, it's not, it was years ago but the post about kit being nicked makes it a relevant experience I thought I'd share.

@SeniorSpaz87 out of interest mate, given that your in the US, how popular out there are SA80 platform guns, given that over here nearly every man & his dog are running AR platform guns ?.

Definitely like the VAL, although it's not HPA is it ?, if it is it's no good for me, tried cheating once, couldn't get on with it lol?
