Moving as in selling ?, the classifieds here are the perfect place to sell anything airsoft related.

Well done, good work, only thing I'd have done differently would be to use dental floss instead of cotton, it's mad strong & close to invisible on most surfaces.

Well the bodies won't get rid of themselves 😳

Welcome, doesn't sound to me like your actually looking to "play" ? For starters the kit we use is plastic bb's only, with strict limits on power output & corresponding BB weight. That's not to say you can't use the kit perfectly for range or ispc use, just don't expect airgun or real steel velocities. Question is: DO YOU WANNA PLAY ? or just target shoot ? If it's the latter, then you might want to consider airgun forums & contact local gun clubs & ranges to see what your options are. If it's the former, if the idea of stalking like-minded sneaky mofo's & picking them off before they do the same to you appeals, then your in the right place. What I will say is sniping isn't for everyone, in Airsoft your mindset & fieldcraft is just as important as your rifle, many people think it's their bag, only to invest in the sniper specific kit only to realise it's not & they're shit lol. What I would say is get along to a local site that has a good rep & play a game as a rental, I'm not aware of anywhere that rents sniper rifles so you'll prob have to suck it up & use an assault rifle, but stick it on semi & get sneaky, your halfway there. If you have a great day (you will😏), then rent for 2 more games in not less than two months, your ready to start shopping, & by that time you'll have a better idea what role your in to, personally I'd recommend the dmr initially, it's a good compromise & excellent for getting experience. Good luck 👍

Don't tell me no more, when it comes to puppies I have zero willpower. (Lol, as well as Airsoft kit & food🐷)

It does get easier, I've been able to go to bed without wearing a ballistic helmet & stab vest lately....... which is nice🤕

Showed Ruger to my wife...........she wants one 😱

Reckon it's one of those Eastern European "sheepdogs/herders" gorgeous 👍

Because if this 50+ to was to actually type what he's thinking about your shit eating attitude, he'd prob get banned from here in an instant, memes are most definitely a funnier & light-hearted response 😏

🤣

You've got a real thing about age haven't you !, have you never considered that maybe some people who've been around considerably longer than you, which includes involvement in Airsoft, really DO know more than you. Believe it or not, there are things you don't know 😏

Set up on the back, if I remember correctly, is an X strap setup with a lower waist belt, I did away with the X strap, the hydra panel while still lightweight gives it the sturdier feel of a plate carrier, especially while spreading any load on the shoulders comfortably, without feeling claustrophobic the way PC's made me feel, but that might be just me lol😳

Looks a bit like a warrior DAR rig, but the warrior kit is substantially better, nice features such as non slip backing etc, I've been running one with a condor hydro back panel 👍. Shameless plug but mine might be up for sale soon, let me know if your interested ?

Reckon he's gone "Old Skool", Evo-Stik in a crisp bag🤔

& You always seem to be one of the "dance" partners 😏

My bad, pretty much said what you did, that'll teach me to read the whole thread before replying lol

Primary sport gumshields were intended for is boxing, as much to protect you from yourself as at the time of impact, giving or receiving lol, you tend to grit your teeth/lock your jaw, or if you receive an uppercut, to stop top & bottom set colliding. Your opponents gloves are large enough to dissipate kinetic energy over a larger area, rather than a smaller focused target such as teeth. Yeah a shield will offer protection against a focused impact such as a BB, but at what cost, wearing one while exercising for hours end (as opposed to 3 minute rounds) will be uncomfortable, probably make you gag quite a lot, & still only protect your top set of teeth, much better to wear a lower mesh shield etc. Oh yeah, & they taste like shit after a while🤮

Obviously you've never been to Thanet, or Lydd 🤣

Only had 2 injuries when playing, both at the same site, Ft Amherst in Chatham. First was when an unseen 50 year old coil of barbed wire hooked both feet in dense bushes, just as I was about to jump down a 5ft ledge, would've been an extreme faceplant but for the fact I'm a well disciplined old soldier, kept the rifle in my shoulder as I dived towards the ground, buried the entire barrel vertically in the soil, so all the force went straight in to my chest/shoulder, thought I was done for at the time, & my upper torso was black & blue for weeks afterwards. But thank the gods, my TM M4 escaped unharmed lol🙏. Couple of months later, took another dive down about five stone steps in what was known as the chapel, landed on a stone floor, initially thought I had a few bumps & bruises, later in the safezone one particular bump on my elbow wouldnt stop stinging, closer inspection revealed a 6mm BB buried well under the skin, but with only a tiny entry wound, much smaller than the BB itself. Ended up with a mate massaging it towards the surface, & then "popping" it like a big zit, forcing it back out through the much smaller hole. Needless to say it came out with quite a pop, lol prob hit 1j on its way out, & made a few onlookers heave in the process 🤮

Thanks, Ozzy's 12 or 13, getting a bit deaf & eyes clouding a bit but still behaves like a pup, unless he gets a sniff of a rat around our chicken houses, then he turns in to the Terminator lol. Had to google Tornjack, yep, not gonna be little lol😳. Good luck with your homecheck, only advice I could offer is make sure your garden is 100% secure, real bugbear for most rescues. 👍

My dogs currently lol, top left to bottom right, "Bodhi" the chi, "Louie" the chi, "Elvis" the chi, "Frank the Tank" the pug, & our oldest, "Ozzy" the parson Jack Russel
