It's a difficult one, changes in society haven't helped. For example, 40 years ago every youngster & his mates chased each other around with realistic looking toys & no one on the street gave them a second look, the miltary was treble it's size, & there was literally a waiting list of people wanting to join up, in London almost every borough had a ta Hall, cadet units representing all 3 services (+ plus the marines), surplus stores aplenty, & very little gun crime, essentially lots of things to nurture interests in shooting pastimes & there was no stigma applied to anyone remotely interested in anything "gun shaped". Fast forward, sprogs in nurseries & primary schools are forbidden from even fashioning a pistol from lego, the army is tiny & can't fill it's ranks, a massive proportion of the ta & cadet units have disappeared, a small number of terrible gun sprees have massively impacted all forms of gun ownership, coupled with commonplace gun crime. All of this has changed UK societies mindset on guns & associated pastimes. Needless to say those of us that are hooked have an uphill battle to encourage others to consider joining our ranks, or even turning out once for a "taster" ?

That's just wrong ?

No, your entitled to them doing the job their intended for, they're not selling them as carpet slippers lol. Clearly there must have been a fault there, defective or poor quality materials ? Wipe the worst of the mud off them & return them for a full refund, I wouldn't even bother with an exchange as clearly their not fit for purpose, the real McCoy that they're based on would last at least six months in the worst conditions in south east Asia.

I agree, no one really gives a shit what we do, and as long as there isn't a sudden torrent of crimes involving Airsoft replicas, the authorities will continue to kinda ignore us. Imports are another matter, while we're told its all about national security etc, the truth is it's really about revenue generation, everything coming in is receiving extra scrutiny, driven by brexit & the covid debt. As for your selection of parts, no offence but you've struggled to get them to work together, a potential buyer would have to be as equally commited to get a working pistol out of them, safe to say only a genuine airsofter or similar, such as a reenactor would attempt it, not a chav or criminal looking for a short cut to getting a rif.

Not spooky at all ?

I'm a bit cynical when it comes to 11.1 lipos, if you have any concerns about the viability of any of the aegs, you might want to invest in a 7.4 or two, definitely doesn’t put as much strain or pressure on your gearbox as an 11.1 Worth considering ?

To combat the numbness I tend to change hands when I get to 99 ?

Welcome back mate, wondered what had happened to you, a few members disappeared around the same time, I just assumed @Shamal had upset you all ? ?

Agree, my similar bugbear was with UK retailers selling guns too hot for UK sites (& UK laws) & expecting you to pay extra to "downgrade" ?. Although I haven't heard of it happening so much in recent times, maybe it's been addressed ?

While I'm no expert, from memory I seem to recall that some of the early co2 pistols used to run hot, so much so that initially most sites had a blanket ban on co2. The later stuff seemed to be more regulated for power output, which forced most sites to reconsider their earlier ban, although I think they still like co2 to go through the chrono. It sounds like yours is a "gen 1" model ?

Seriously, your aeg's should be fine, you'll take them to a tech, he'll pretend to agree with you, at best maybe squirt some lube through a straw in to any available aperture, wipe it over & test it with a charged battery, & charge you an an arm & leg for the privilege. Your gas kit might have issues, but again nothing too difficult to sort yourself, most issues can be sorted with some spray silicone lube & some tpfe tape & bathroom silicone sealant if needed, it really can be that simple.

Your not gonna open a site, your a dreamer who's too stupid to think & research before opening your mouth.

Bring it on little boy?

LOL, big man, now I really do want you to open a site, so I can come down & politely kick the shit out of you?

Don't be a dick, this is probably the most accomadaing forum/page around, but your question regarding "wot gun" wasn't relating to one for plinking in the garden (which in itself can have legal ramifications, consider that a friendly warning), but to a much bigger picture with regards to starting a site. You've had an answer, g36c is a great rental gun, leave it at that, but again be aware that in your current state, it's likely you cannot even buy ONE all black gun, never mind 30+, & no one will rent a two-tone, horrid things. Wind your neck in, use the search function, & if you need to ask further questions, be prepared to get replies that may admonish you, what your planning isn't straightforward or easy, otherwise most of us here would be doing it & raking in a fortune ?

@Polyscript chill, some of us have been at this for literally decades, posts like yours are ten-a-penny, & 99% of them never come to fruition, of the 1% that do, half don't last beyond the first year. Hence why some of us can be a bit cynical when we read first posts such as these. As has been pointed out, to get a good understanding you need to ideally be playing, visiting the best rated sites to see how they do it, comparing your potential site to others, what features does yours have & how can it be improved, assuming the landowner will allow alterations. No ones gonna want to visit a flat featureless open field, that's gonna get boring 5 minutes in. Then, assuming you get to the point of opening the "doors", you need marshals, you need multiple game scenarios THAT WORK to keep clients interested, the list goes on & on, come back when you've played a few games & tell us about it & what you've learned, you'll get a much better reception than asking to be spoonfed info.

? welcome

I'd be wary with ares mags, they're well known for not always fitting other brands of gnu. As @Rogerborghas said, an M4 mag well gives you so many more options for size/style/capacity. ?

Yeah, I actually started to wonder if I could mod my dynatex for a slimmer body ?. I think dynatex came first, had mine 20 years at least.

Hey guys, so I've had an old skool timed dynatex for 20 years, great bit of kit but bit bulky for some of my rigs, got a couple of much slimmer impact grenades, tested them at home & Tbh not that impressed, not guaranteed to work unless used on the hardest surfaces, & as I rarely play cqb, pointless to keep so moved them on. So my question is, does anyone make a slim timed bfg that's reliable, & takes blanks or primers, not after any of those popping disc co2 bollocks. Cheers Mark

I think that's ended up in the wrong bag, should have been in the "weekend activities" bag?

Just a point of note, there was a precedent case years ago (don't ask me when?), if your gonna have a bat of any type in the car, needs to be in the boot area & MUST have a suitable ball or two with it, without that it's easy for the popo to push the offensive weapon charge?

Come on ya grumpy old git, get some foul weather kit & get out there, like the big boys do?
