so if tony robinson is indiana jones, who are we getting to play the inevitably Nazi villain? i kinda wanna see hugh laurie have a crack at it.

forget a tangent, the direction this thread has taken is approaching normal (meant in the angular sense of 90° from tangent rather than "ordinary")

i was meaning more a time-team reference, although tbh it could be kinda funny.

must be a tough piston to have survived so far, but i'd put good money on something like the rack giving out before long.

you mean the grip safety with the beaver tail designed to specifically solve the issue of hammer bite?

bond isn't meant to be a believable character, he's meant to be a super badass hero who always takes out the over-the-top villain. it's like saying Indiana jones would be more believable if he was played by tony robinson..... bond isn't meant to be a believable character, he's meant to be a super badass hero who always takes out the over-the-top villain. it's like saying Indiana jones would be more believable if he was played by tony robinson.....

you get the kindling i'll go grab the stake out of the shed just on the first page going with the budget and not a 1911 or glock constraints:

i know right? i mean it's not like there wasn't a perfectly servicable retractable stock already available for the mp5 or anything.....

it was going so well until we passed the pistol grip and it all went downhill from there.....

that is definately a way of looking at it. my spending hasnt stopped entirely but it's definately at a lower than usual level. it is pricey, but imo it's only marginally less performance than a fusion engine (mainly in the realms of rate of fire) but makes up for it with a lot of ease of use and versatility. certainly for any kind of accuracy build it would be my main choice.

use your tempered patience to go for an f2, you can thank me later

meanwhile in the real world that's e&l money......

this is what happens when we can't shoot each other. stuck at home, watching random stuff on youtube and all the hate and anger that's normally spread amongst all the knobs out there doing one thing or another has become focused onto one guy who happens to be a well published example of many of said practices.

and a glock isn't? the glock is what a kid draws as a gun before he's got the drawing skills to add the details like hammers and safety catches on

here here i already have my social distancing system in place- if i can poke you with a bayonet on the dragonuv you're too damn close!

amen to that. they're all good options, they're just slightly different enough to the point where it's pretty much personal preference.

pretty much. bugger all to do these days is the problem.

the main advantage the tippmann seems to have is recoil (although maybe not all models?) and no electrics. i've heard nothing but good things from their owners. although it wouldn't surprise me if a well dialed in electromechanical setup had superior bb lobbing performance.

when i started airsofting i was using me old dpm stuff from cadets and got her to sew pouches for kneepads into the trousers. it was surprising how many times i was asked what brand they were

if it's a choice between a 1j limit and losing the hobby (or worse, 2-tones for all ) then sure a 1j limit is livable, however: is absolutely correct, the anti-gun brigade are very much the "ban all the things" types unfortunately. tbh i'm surprised airsoft survived the first round under its lens. remember reading a while back some anti-gun spiel about how airsoft was using "lethal weapons" and practicing "racist rituals" (referring to the occasional terrorism reference), it's kinda worrying the mindset of folks like that. i'm kinda 50/50 on that, certainly trying to run a 1j bolt gun on a field of 1j mg's ar's and smg's is quite the challenge. but it can be rather fun if you pull it off. until you meet someone else who is enlightened in the ways of the heavy bb and you're right back to square 1 of course i don't snipe, i just hang back and take pot shots at guys at the edge of my range. i'm assuming you're directly referring to real firearms rather than some second amendment version of the right to bear pew pews. whilst i do think that the variety and types of firearms that can be legally owned by civilians should be much broader than it is currently, i very much do not support the removal of the barriers to obtaining them easily. the biggest problem America has is the sheer volume of firearms in circulation to the point where people who are not interested in them still buy one because it's the done thing to do.

ahh, now that changes the game a tad. in which case i'd say the tippmann, it's like an hpa tapped gbbr but you just use normal mags and reload when you feel like.

oh i got my mum to sew elastic in the bottom so i didn't have to mess around with trouser twists......

i'd be kind of inclined to say the mws. considering you already know the performance is good enough for your liking and the only reason to go hpa is if you want either better performance, or a gun that works in winter (caveat i'm saying that having never tried an mws in winter)

you kidding me, i done 6 years in the cadets and that really prepared me for combat duty. as long as the enemy are expecting very shiny boots and a well-tied Windsor knot.....

i found it interesting way back when i was doing the massive spreadsheet to figure out the true answer to wether heavier bb's really are better that an 0.5g bb fired at 2.5j at about 20m has about 1.3j of energy, which corresponds to a point blank rifle. the being prepared to be shot at argument is a tricky one. yes when i go on the field i choose to accept that getting pinged is part of the process, yes i choose not to wear lower face protection. however i don't choose to be the punching bag for some knob who wants to intentionally cause pain because he thinks that's some cool or clever thing to do (how that's achieved be it unnecessary shots to sensitive areas, full auto spraying up close, cheating chrono etc will of course vary). indeed, the whole point of this forum environment is to have a space where we can state our opinions. whether people want to agree, disagree or ignore said opinion is of course their own prerogative. it is feasible to do some level of sniping shenanigans on a 1j limit, although you are very much reliant at that point on ammo weight and stealth and it is much easier to get caught out. although as much as i like the challenge that a dmr role entails i must admit to feeling it would change the game dynamic a fair bit if you could rely on a bigger chunk of extra range. that said you also don't have to worry about med's so someone creeps up you can just shoot them straight up rather than debate wether they're close enough that you need to use a pistol.
