Tackle

My first bft is one I'm still trying to forget, failed Miserably, pretty much unconscious in a puddle of sweat, piss & puke. In my defense I was fitter than a butchers dog, but I'd either been sick or on the booze (probably both lol), so was severely dehydrated before I started, was never gonna end well on a hot summer day💩🤮

Apologies if its already been said:

Definitely, I tend to cross-reference a selection of vids from a broad spectrum of producers, as well as looking for old skool written reviews, which unfortunately are getting few & far between these days, & finally even the likes of amazon type reviews just to be sure. Even then you may end up with a bit of kit that works for someone else but doesn't suit you, but at least you can say you tried, instead of relying on the opinion of a paid tosspot or a 12yo "operator" 🤣 Ain't that the truth, I was infantry, trained hard like mofo, but did nothing of note outside of the UK & Germany, so you'll never hear me claiming to be a war hero, but first time I attended a paintball event as a civvy didn't stop me feeling slightly superior than my non serving work colleagues, I say that, there was one other guy there who was a former fusilqueer, & his bro in law also ex rgj, so between we thought we were gonna dominate that shit. Whistle went & the 3 of us were off like greyhounds intent on seizing the tactical high ground etc.............. Yes, it was a very painful life lesson in humility, which we laughed about later, once the dozens of donut shaped welts stopped stinging🤕

I wonder is he on here, & other forums etc, using nondescript usernames just so he can bathe in the love that's felt for him🤣. Some might say, him included, that he's having the last laugh thanks to revenue generation, thankfully I won't be adding to it, I personally can't watch Airsoft, in much the same way I can't watch the sports that I loved to play, for me it's all about the playing, watching it is quite literally mind numbing (& probably reminds me I need to be playing more lol😢). Only time I search Airsoft related on YouTube is comparing reviews before I put my hand in my pocket.

All heads differ, so look for a type that you can alter the pad size if needed. Also I can't recommend enough the type with the dial type adjuster on the headband, so much easier & more comfortable than ratcheting up a chinstrap to get a comfortable but stable fit.

I've got the same mags/gun, but haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I'd already made up my mind to use some taco style pouches, probably with elastic loop & tab that's a second level of security over the top of the mag, just has to be pulled aside to withdraw the mag. While the taco mags are deeper than the striker mags, that's easily overcome by cutting a corresponding oblong of polystyrene & putting it in the bottom of the pouch to sit the mag at the right height, tacos being elasticated will ensure the polystyrene stays in place, but it'll take seconds to pull it out & return the pouch to full size for loadout changes. PS this is something I've done before for other obscure mag sizes, once you've got the polystyrene cut to the right size you need, cover it in insulating tape, stops it breaking up when used/removed regularly.

But I do love the various names he's been given, all a play on "kicking mustang", Licking Cumstain being my absolute favourite 😂

Wasn't he outed as a total racist too, or was that a different YouTube Airsoft knobhead.

Short version, he's generally not well liked, by most players & most sites apparently.

Or there's your poor mans option, dental floss, get about 30 metres for a couple of quid, barely visible to the eye, & super strong (ever tried to break it without some kinda cutting device, always cuts in to your fingers)

Yeah I got that, but if he's not prepared to "play the game", then maybe turn the thumbscrews a bit to make him comply, he'll get notifications if his business starts getting poor reviews, might be enough to actually do what You want rather than pissing about. Yep you could wait for PayPal to find in your favour, assuming he doesn't say "No problem, just get the gear back to me & I'll refund you", & then start pissing about again with bogus addresses that no online courier booking system will accept, so he can waste more time getting his shit together. Saying that, have you actually requested a call from PayPal, his address should be on file & I always find that when you've been stitched up in some way, explaining it in person to them is much more productive usually. Case in point, wanker on Zin sold me a c02 air pistol, arrived looking great but was faulty, pmd said wanker & his response was "sorry pal, was fine when it left, your problem". Opened a dispute, his first response to PayPal was "airgun, not covered under Paypals T&C's, not interested" As you can imagine, my reply was "you took the money in the full knowledge it was faulty, knowing its sometimes a grey area with PayPal" His response, "I can't handle this harassment, I'm a disabled military veteran with ptsd" Then paypal find in his favour & close the dispute. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK 🤯 I request a call, get a nice Scottish guy call me back, explain things & ask wtf has his health or former job got to do with the price of fish & chips, & point out that I'm ex forces, currently considered disabled, diagnosed with ptsd, & also being treated for cancer, but there was no way that any of that shit is fuel for a PayPal dispute. The guy was gobsmacked, immediately refunded me, then froze the other guys account with a view to checking his entire PayPal history for what they might consider to be fraudulent transactions. What a turnaround, just from taking the time to speak to a real person, bit like the old speed cam versus traffic cop scenario, I know who I'd pick every time. Anyway, back on topic, nail this fucker to the wall lol

What about the various review sites, compareawanker.com or whatever their called, find jaeger on one of those & give him a shit one, with him being such a captain of industry, he'll respond then lol

Send a dog turd in a special delivery, see if he signs for it😂😈

To be honest I started looking at this 2.30am, poxy insomnia following surgery, & I can't figure out if he's an unhinged Walt, or a genius in the field of Airsoft, every page associated with jaeger precision & it's various services offered, as well as his apparent (?) "teir one"😏 experience in every field he's ever been involved with is well written & well put together............... But given how hard it is to pin him down on a return address, I'm gonna go with the former, unhinged Walt, & just be astounded by downing street level of hype & bullshit he's put out there. Couldn't find any mention of jaeger precision in companies house, so that's another thing that makes question his legitimacy ? Sounds like leaving it in the hands of PayPal is your best option.

Easy remedy, a jetboil, spare cup & a tin of all day breakfast from the shop, hot meal in 2 minutes 😁👍. To be fair a jetboil, or one of the decent copies, is a great compact investment, whether its for winter regular skirmishes or full on milsim weekenders, the ability to knock up a steaming hot cup of tea/coffee/bovril/hot chocolate at a minutes notice is an absolute lifesaver & can make all the difference to the morale of yourself & those around. It's a priceless asset🙏. Ask any ex squaddie lol

That's a very good point, that also makes me think about other variables ? Yep we're a small country/island compared to the likes of say France or USA, but we are pretty crowded in comparison ? (some would say overcrowded 😏) But once you satisfy vcra, legally we're fairly lax compared to many countries when you consider some only allow semi, some have stricter fps rules, & some it's just flat out illegal, yet still they have an "underground" Airsoft scene, but with no legitimate Airsoft shops ?.

MRE's in their various forms are usually VERY expensive, unless you start looking at your lesser known eastern European menu variants, but you'd better have a strong stomach lol. For an average skirmish day, a half decent packed lunch should more than cover your need, MREs are better suited to a hard routine 72hr milsim, massive concentrated calorie intake, little waste product💩, & compact packaging.

Because there are some very naive sheep in airsoft, probably in most aspects of life they're level headed & sensible, but throw Airsoft in to the mix, especially online reviews that start with the words "this am bestest", & they go all googly eyed & incomprehensible 🥴

Maybe it's the universes way of telling us that we've got too much Airsoft stuff already, much of which is unnecessary to just play, & every new unnecessary purchase is just a further waste of the planets resources. Namaste 🙏 Yeah, I'll shut my filthy whore mouth now, clearly my thoughts are muddled by pain meds etc 🤯😜

Brexit probably has a lot to answer for unfortunately. Try this when searching for kit: https://www.airsoftdb.com/

Commiserations 😢, maybe next time you'll buy a tm😏

Kids today, they're just not expecting the swedish inquisition 😜

I'm from that area, Islington to be precise but if I crossed my road I'd then be in Hackney. I moved out more than 30 years ago but travelled back & stayed there regularly, til my dad passed 9 years ago😟, & my strongest memories of the last few visits were regularly hearing gunshots, sirens & low flying police helicopters EVERY NIGHT. The days seemed almost normal though, which was kinda weird, but I get why police response borders on excessive in many areas, & as you've pointed out, this is just one sides pushed narrative by an extremely biased group. I wonder had a member of the public put in a call regarding "juveniles on bikes carrying guns", kinda call that guarantees an armed response. The cynical side of me might even question was the whole thing staged to illicit a police response, that could then be heavily critsized ?.
