That just makes me sad, I had a duck called Quackmire ?

I say "bring back the bush"....... Are we still talking about Airsoft ? ?

We knock em down as quick as we can, it's weird though, some join & in less than 15 minutes they've put up 15 threads, which I'm guessing is the limit. & then others join & do nothing for a few days, & eventually put up maybe half a dozen threads. Weird?

As gavinkempsell has pointed out, we had plethora of "death by gun" incidents, some were illegal firearms, but some were, & sometimes still are, legally held guns, so the laws became more restrictive. BUT As airsofters we came under scrutiny because at the time anyone over 18 could buy a realistic imitation firearm (rif), & so scumbags did & used them for criminal acts, this created a lot of problems, not least because at the time armed officers comprised less than 5% of the police, spread thin on the ground, a situation made worse when they were then tied up with crimes involving non lethal replicas that were easily obtained, & sometimes crimes involving genuine firearms were difficult to get suitable personnel in attendance. & don't get me started on the complications if an officer shoots someone, months of paperwork & suspension of duties even if its a real gun, but even worse if it's a teen (etc) with a replica. So the vcra came in to try to reduce the availability of replicas, doesn't do anything to prevent the use of real firearms, & most airsofters think it's very unfair on us. But the truth is we were very lucky not to lose Airsoft completely, or all to be forced to two-tone everything. So when noobs come on trying to circumnavigate vcra/ukara, understandably some of us get the hump, because everytime the law is broken it has the potential to wreck the fragile status quo we exist within. Yes & no, see above

Are you guys just spamming for the sake of it ?, I think you need to read the thread from the beginning, & if you still don't get the context, clear off ya scammin gets ?

?

Nah fuckit, we're all good naming & shaming here, we try to look out for each other & that includes warning each other if a site isn't worth the green fees (& all the other costs associated with attending a game)

Then you'd better get your nan in the pictures ?

I used a laughing emoji, but having blown it up (no pun intended), I've changed my mind & gone with a sad face, 'kin ell, is that his nose all split ?, looks like a pair of bollocks on his face?

Thought I'd share this, not here,over on zin, thankfully guy was wise to it, but the scammers are getting better with photoshopping stuff, as usual targeting wanted ads. Keep up with due diligence, if the seller doesn't have considerable feedback & forum presence then ask for more info, & maybe some staged pics, get his nan in a picture holding the gun lol, & lastly, only ever pay via Paypal goods & services, never f&f or bank transfer, or if you can, collect it in person. https://forums.zeroin.co.uk/forum/classifieds/rate-a-trader/3324582-qt09-scammer-avoid

My take: 1. most airsofters are fickle, me included, one minute "x" gun is the best thing since sliced bread, 5 minutes later, there's something new their going gooey eyed over. 2. TM are considered a sound investment & hold their money better than most brands, so when moneys needed quick, you know you'll not lose much flogging it.

Not really load carrying equipment though is it ?

Nah, nothing against the gat, just the numpty/scammer selling it, it's obviously the same guy we banned earlier, back with a new name but the same shit, but I'm not a mod so can't scrutinise his profile etc any more than you, so have to be polite?, but I'm sure a ban is coming, they're like buses lol.

I've only just noticed, he's gone ?, what's the odds that a certain argumentative female was actually his weird alter ego ?, after all he was literally the only member she didn't have a row with ? ?

I've suspended his account, for review by @Jedi_Master, as has been pointed out too many red flags & contradicting info, I'd asked him to clarify stuff earlier & he's been on but not responded. Better safe than sorry in case a noob tries to jump on the £300 ad.

This is why TM have always been so reliable, stock they don't aim to be the most powerful, nor the highest rate of fire, in return they virtually never self destruct, instead they just keep doing what their supposed to. There a lesson in there somewhere ?

Best line in a film EVER, Ed Harris tells Sean Connery something like "People will say I'm a hero & a patriot", to which Connery replies "they might do, but personally I think your a fucking idiot" Brit humour in a hollywood film?

I'm kinda torn with these, great gun, in all fairness the JG version is just as good, but the FAL has a bit of a cult following, so weirdly, going by the original rrp's, I've seen JG's way overpriced & CA's underpriced lol. The sensible part of me thinks £300 is about right, but £350 does give some haggle room for the buyer to feel victorious. Gotta say I paid less than half that for my JG to a lovely "young" chap on here, where are you mate @Druid799 ?

Kinky git? Agree, if your viper rig has served you well & ticked all the boxes so far, the maybe just look at other colour variants, it's like the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" ? As you've admitted, sizing for kit is a problem, you'll be going down the virtual endless rabbit hole trying to find the holy grail of load carrying kit, some of us have been at it for decades & still not 100% convinced with what we're using, especially if your running multiple gun/mag platforms.

I think rocketdogbert had the arse, understandably, about the spam situation making the forum unusable, plus the bickering that was going on mainly due to one members narrow views, meant he decided to take a break. I do hope he comes back, he was one of the core members that always had valid points to input thanks to years of experience. If I remember rightly, he'd also taken a break from skirmishes, focusing more on target shooting at his local gun club in Essex ?

My go to recommendation to most people is a bulle mle platform, very light, very cheap (but not crap quality) very adjustable (my sons gf uses the m4 version with no issues & she's a proper hobbit?), but limited on colour options, od or tan I think ?

What have you previously owned or used ? , what & how much are you looking to carry?, does it have to be a full coverage PC or vest, or can you consider chest rigs etc. & finally, what are your camo or colour needs ? Sorry for all the questions, but with more info we can give you better recommendations.
