Tackle

I didnt mention F&F etc, as far as I'm concerned that's not & should NEVER be up for discussion, but agree mention of it is a super massive red flag. A good mantra to live by, & it's something someone said on here waaay back, "If someone mentions F&F, only send what you can afford to lose" Wise words indeed 🤔

I had an issue last year with ebay/hermes, gear was showing on hermes tracking as delivered, but no pod or delivery picture. Seller literally went "shown as delivered, not our problem, go whistle for a refund or replacement", hermes wasn't much better initially with a robot system that went round in circles & choked every time it got to the non existent proof of delivery, initially ended up jumping on the local delivery guy, who then gave me his ops managers name, she was more help & established the item had not got past the senders depot, & maybe not even collected by hermes ?, so was it the sender pulling a fast one, possibly ?. Even tracking down the European ceo of hermes email got an agreement that they would now consider it lost, but still ebay dragged their heels settling the claim, & PayPal weren't much better as the pod crap automatically closed down any attempt at a claim. What a cluster fuck, & trying to get any of them to talk to each other was like herding cats, very stupid cats lol. Only way it was resolved was my inability to not quit (which I think they were hoping for), it was only a £30 transaction, so while I wasn't prepared to devote much of my time, every week or so I'd fire off a pre-pasted email or make them call me with a couple of button pushes & then send them off to chase each others tails lol.

Hi all, regarding members putting a piece of paper showing their username & the current date within the pictures in their sales threads, I mistakenly thought this was already a rule, but rereading through the forum I note this is currently only a recommendation. Any way this could be made a permanent requirement please, I just feel that with the ever growing membership, many of whom only come here to take advantage of the high member count & just utilise the classifieds, it's only a matter of time before we get another run of scammers trying their luck. I also feel this should be applied to the appraisals section, as some threads there seem to be worded in such a way as to generate sales interest, with members often replying saying things like "first dibs please", again without the op displaying proof the items are in their possession. Its a small point but fairly crucial in ensuring provenance of items shown in pictures.

Doh🙄

No offence fatty😜, but that looks like a pain in the arse to use, surely wearing it on a belt with a lower thigh strap on would work better ? PS. I'm a chunky monkey so I'm allowed to make fat jokes🤣, I'm also a slap head, pretty much disabled, & ugly as fuck, so the world is my oyster, maybe I should go non binary & then I'll have covered all the bases ? (snowflakes need not reply🖕)

Have a look at this thread, not that old so probably still relevant.

That's fucked up, in a sport where our biggest risk is our eyesight, they're playing god with ours for the sake of a few quid (x?), no mention of conviction, but it's got to merit some jail time surely ?

I couldn't possibly advocate that kinda behaviour 😏 BUT Change generally only takes place when companies are punished either financially or litigiously, why is it most of us are conscientious about our rifs & staying on the right side of the vcra/law, & everyone else doesn't give a shit. 👿

Assuming your not personally passing through any countries where Airsoft is outlawed or restricted, better to take your kit with you than rely on airline baggage handlers & customs clearance to not throw a spanner in the works. If your flying, contact your airline to check your options.

To be fair, even the edited vids are like watching paint dry lol, if my introduction to Airsoft had been via YouTube I'd have probably never started playing.

Welcome mate, you've come to the right place, word of warning though, be careful announcing publicly that you don't have a license, the ukara police have eyes & ears everywhere & are quick to pounce on offenders. So endeth the first lesson😏

While I never saw the video afterwards, I do remember a very pasty spotty arse 🍑

This was literally a mate of the organiser was opening a club & sent a bird down with flyers to drum up interest. Have you been to an airsoft site lately ? , look around at half of the overly hairy sweatbag walts, the only woman most of them get near is their mum 🤣

Don't get your hopes up 😜, it was a relatively short lived site, the old power station at richborough, near sandwich, Kent.

Me too, game time is for playing, if I want to socialise or talk bollocks ill go to the pub (or come on here😜). Think I've mentioned it before but one site I played, end of lunch started getting ready to head back out, next thing music starts playing & a "lady" starts taking her clothes off, stick I got for turning my back on here to get loaded up. Then when I got home & the missus says "how was the day", I get more stick as if it's somehow my fault some slapper was stripping off🤯

While I can't comment on all their models, stuff like their spring m82 Barrett is utter shite.

Amen, picked up a D-Boys spr, got it for £130 new (at the time), completely stock & running at 370 fps, my son was about 12, was hitting a clothes peg first or second shot from at least 130 feet, & a light switch at 200 feet, thing was a frigging laser. Until I tinkered with it 🤣/😭

Essentially punishing players for their loyalty, that's pretty fucked up. It probably takes less than 10 minutes to renew, even at £10 that's a nice little earner for someone, but £30 ffs🤬

I've always said, anyone who wants to open a site could learn a lot from visiting the top rated sites, copying snippets from everywhere & incorporating them in to their own business model, you mentioning CSW is a great example of such a site. Thing is, CSW was 140 miles away from me, the fact I'd be prepared to do those miles was testament to the knowledge I'd have a great time, hell even the food was top notch & plentiful 🐷. But GZ, no, not even if it was half the distance from me, other than its size I've yet to hear anything good about it that would change my mind.

Robbing B'stards🤬

Naah, you've still got the filters on 😜

That's new (to me anyway), there's always some fecker wanting to reinvent the wheel lol

Gently tap a slightly oversized torx bit in to it should probably do it ?
