My first sniper rifle. Action Army T11
 

Asahi MG34. Found it's new home with a WWII collector today.

Plinkin 😛
 

 
 

The last piece of the puzzle now arrived. 
A custom made full steel accurate L7A2 barrel to finish off my steel L7A2 gpmg. 
 
Just need to get it engraved with the original Enfield markings, and to get it altered to take the original inokatsu hop unit. 
 
Now going to convert my old barrel into the newer type HK L7 barrel, and to use to replicate blank use too. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I did wonder why all of his most recent videos were from the same site 😂 

I went from DPM to MTP because during the winter time I thought DPM was obvious against the mostly golden brown leaf litter, and the grey/green tree trunks...

Exhibit A, M'Lord


 
I'm on the left, and I contend that my camo is less obvious than the DPM (not that the DPM sucks!).   What's obvious is how they're so much better than a pair of joggers

If and when I get to play, and if and when the trees and shrubbery are in full green leaf, I'll happily be back in my DPM (which actually is quite faded, so it's a good bit nearer the MTP than that box-fresh set of DPM in the pic)

That's his mum's back garden🤣

How exactly does the movement of air affect an optical sensor? Take your time answering because my engineering background is in Controls and Instrumentation.

Wtf ...this still doing lol . I totally  forgot as currently in Croatia not giving a flying  fuck about Anzio camp ...

Surely being humiliated and losing your game fee by being thrown off site should be reserved for the most egregious behaviour. There were all kinds of solutions here other than kicking the player out.

It arrived!!
 
it looks bloody lovely (to me) and is REALLY well made, zero wobble or rattles and I can’t wait to use it.

wonder what the difference with the cheaper version is, maybe internals? it's impossible to tell from the pics if they've cut any corners on the externals, looks pretty much like an e&l, which is a good thing because imo they're the nicest commonly available ak (not counting real sword basically). if you like wood and blued steel then you won't be disappointed. fyi as a general rule most airsoft akm variants tend not to have siderails but pretty much all the ak74 variants will, you can however get an aftermarket rail and bolt it on the side.
 
the platinum versions internal wise are very good, about the only thing that you'd want to consider changing is the hop rubber as they tend to be a bit on the hard side (and that's me being nit-picky), but apart from that and maybe being a bit slow on 7.4v (respectable on 11.1v). it's on a short list of guns (sitting alongside the likes of the scorpion evo) of guns i'd be happy to skirmish completely stock (granted i modded all the ones i've had but i'm a lost cause at this point). no mosfet, but that's a criticism you could level at a lot of guns.
 
of course the internals may well be where they've cut the cost, which would make sense for folks (like me) for whom good enough isn't good enough and insist on yeeting all the internals in a quest to squeeze every last drop out of their pews no matter how good they were to begin with so ironically it's maybe aimed precisely at folks who don't care how well it shoots out of the box.
 
 
^with perfect timing to prove my point
 
 
the cm045 (well, any of the metal bodied cyma range) is the kind of gun that's hard to argue with, not just as a starter gun but just in general. it won't be as pretty or as heavy (which subjectively could be a good thing) as the e&l but it'll lob bb's very very nearly as well and it is basically half the price. tbh if you know what your doing a cyma with £150's worth of bits would make quite an evil proposition.
 
 
 
a pretty accurate summation, certainly the cyma's and jg's of this world are an excellent demonstration of the diminishing returns curve in this hobby. 
 
 
think you're onto something there, especially when starting out and you're not necessarily sure how well you'll take to a given platform, i'd say waiting for the cyma to come into stock and spending the extra cash on a bunch of midcaps, an odin and a warfet would be the better solution.

Soooo a long while (3 or 4 years ago) back I managed to get a 2nd l85 cheap.... so I did a thing 😁😁😁
 
(had it finished 3 years now, mixed ICS and 3d printed parts etc)

To be honest, I don't agree with whinging about being shot in the face.
 
We don't use accurate guns, not even the sniper rifles are. Don't want to bleed from the chops? Wear full face or stfu.
 
Banning people for headshots is, on the face of it, daft, but really he's been banned for breaching the waiver.

So that's my lightweight load out sorted. May add a dump pouch just an an extra carrying option for sundries for longer games.

Finally managed to get some in game photos worth sharing. Playing at Xsite in Hertfordshire.

Another WIP. Almost finished though. Cheap tactical vest off ebay. Cheap security belt from eBay. Cheap rucksack from Ebay. Cheap tactical cap from.... EBay. Old jacket, hoddie and jeans. All given a good going over. 

Managed to pick one of my dream RIF's up on sale from the continent. 
 
The rare (over here) S&T Tavor Professional flat top with keymod. 
 
Going to have to do a tremendous amount of work on it to get to a skirmishable standard. But it is another to add to my bullpup collection!
