I'm not sure about the mount, but the optic is a DR Sight... They're pretty old hat but they're still going strong.

On the TQ side of things, interestingly enough, first aid courses are starting to bring them into mainstream education slowly. There have been a few mass casualty events in the last ten years where first aiders understanding what they can and can't achieve would have made a real difference along with the risks and limitations. On a side note my personal pet hate is decompression needles that seem to come with so many IFAKs... Now they creep me out. ?

Isn't that just text book money laundering normally? ?

Hi all, Just after a few bits that are hard to find. Has anyone used these guys before? It looks like it's Ares direct to customer shop front but it's a bit quiet on the site review front. Anyone used them at all? eshop-aresairsoft.com Thanks all

Yeah, it can be intimidating but actually most airsofters are a friendly bunch and you'll quickly meet new people. I did have an advantage of meeting a few people at a training event and having nods etc. I didn't run with them but I recognised a few faces around and having been doing milsims off and on for a good few years made it easier to slot in from the task force side of things. Tbh if I was getting back into it just enjoy causing chaos with opfor you'll definitely enjoy it ?

Had a fun weekend at Stirling this weekend. First Stirling in a few years and good fun. I was running solo but was lucky to be attached to 1 troop although the takings really were the same as any other callsign. Lots of patroling and recce to build up a target package before conducting strikes into the village. It was really hard work as the tempo was high for a 36hr event and opfor fought incredibly hard with everywhere outside of the fob feeling like a hostile environment. If you have your admin on point and are comfortable being aggressive in a firefight then it really is worth giving it a try as they're really special events. Run TF if you're into sprinting into battle and opfor if you're looking for a more relaxed attitude to the game. Either way you'll be looked after.

A few little updates on the mws... And the fact that it's no longer looking like an L119A2... So the CQBR is back and I am appreciating the slightly lighter weight ?

Thanks for correcting me, that's the stuff. Toyota have a lot to answer for confusing me ?‍♂️? But thanks for that I didn't realise they offered 1 litre and 5 litres versions!!!

On a similar thread I've had really good results using GT-86 which is a PTFE spray that is also a dry lube which means that it doesn't attract and hold dust. With regards to particularly silicon grease (not oil) this should be avoided for metal on metal and sliding contact as it heats up and then binds. It's not a lubricant but rather a grease to protect o-rings from drying out as well improving the air seal. Other greases will also likely attract dirt and bind up with time as well. Where they do work well is where the surfaces don't slide such as in a gearbox because there is simply less friction involved. But yeah, I'm a big fan of GT-86 and some bisley gun oil on the bolt for smoothness ?

So I'm in the process of building up a toxicant rattler and I'm looking at the T8/EMG lancer mags. Has anyone got any experience with these? How do they compare to the stock mws magazines? (For reference I have more than enough TM mws mags I just like the look of these for a .300 BLK build) Thanks guys

Just a few bits for me as I'm hoping to get out a bit more this year having been doing life stuff most of last year, a Crye SPS frag pouch (the inserts mean it can carry everything from pistol mags to 12g shells) and a replica scalar leap aimpoint mount for my MCX(the holy warrior version) and the build quality on that is amazing ?

Tbf from what I remember they don't apply this to the skirmishes that they run and in reality I don't think that I've actually seen them take issue with a rif for as long as I've been playing there, they're generally pretty relaxed really ? I'll have to see if I can find that post...

In fairness I think they're just trying to avoid things like this ? But yeah gunman suggest a real world dmr as a base, and I kinda appreciate it really but that's a different conversation.

I'd second this try one of their filmsims, they're good fun and if you enjoy the team work side of things Okto8 might be worth looking at if you want to try a weekend event that is even more roleplay based ?

I'm another advocate for Geoff's... I use .36's in my mws and .28's in my mp7 and G19... All of them shoot really nicely. Having said that, as previously mentioned, my shot count is very low. (probably only used about 150 rds over the Saturday.)
