  1. better to do ammo limits, you can plink on semi or go hose but find yourself out of the game and back to the car to refill after 5 minutes.
  2. ahh yes, the game that's more designed to empty magazines than actually be winnable. had something similar, very limited flanking opportunities, although in fairness if they'd let me go where i was planning to then it would have made things very hard for the defenders as you'd have the perfect spot to wipe them out where anyone you couldn't hit could easily be got from the frontline.
  3. Not so sure with the skill element, if anything its adding a level of marksmanship especially for snap-shooting and you do still need to employ tactics such as flanking, indeed i'd say they're even more necessary now as you cant just run towards the enemy cod style and expect to survive. That is of course assuming a rough level of parity, if you're the only one there with a well dialled in pew amongst a sea of rentals then yes it does make for a point and click adventure.
  4. i wouldn't put it past them at this point.
  5. according to ups a plastic hop unit is a firearm and needs treated as such.
  6. That guy...... i suppose credit where it's due, it's not an m4 mag
  7. well, latest build finally got to take some names this evening.

     

    really pleased with how it's turned out, just wish i'd been a bit more conscientious about the ol' fitness over lockdown.

      Indeedy, was exhausting running around to all my mates houses and adding their addresses.

  8. is this avenger's new alt?
  9. i'd be more interested in the ford system for antifog with the tiny wires to heat up the lenses. i vaguely recall seeing some images from shot show or somesuch for a product that worked like that, but i can't remember who made them and no idea if they're still in business. there was also someone on here looking at doing it DIY, going all fancy n shit with moisture sensors.
  10. It is the unfortunate side effect of this pandemic that people have had some vastly different experiences, everything from mostly continuing as normal, working hammer and tongs on the front line, sitting indoors going insane on furlough or even worse ending up with no income and no certainty. I'm glad to hear as hard as your troubles were that you had the resources to weather the storm. You are right though, there are ways and ways, as i mentioned originally the way my local looked to solve this same problem was to open on more days, which gives both the site and the players what they want.
  11. Hence my point about opening more being preferable to double booking which i agree is a shitty way to go about solving the problem. Thats the problem with autism- at the "lesser" end of the scale folk can, especially as they age and gain experience, become very adept at appearing normal, right up until the point they're not. indeed for the older generations it's very common for folk to be undiagnosed (and by extension unaware themselves why they act certain ways). Possibly, although as mentioned it can be incredibly hard to tell in person let alone secondhand. Saying things either verbally or with body language that are just the wrong fit for the situation is a common symptom (leading to more frustration because now people are pissed off). Again as with above this could be interpreted either way. Given you were a regular there and had a much clearer view of how he was acting you could well be right, as mentioned it could be interpreted either way when reviewed second-hand in writing. Tbh the reason i brought it up was more just to plant the seed that there could be an alternate explanation, having read it and realised some of the similarities. For sure, i mean they could at least have been up front about it- let folks know what was going to happen so they could decide if they still wanted to make the trek or not.
  12. As much as i hate to be the devils advocate, it is understandable that sites who've spent the last year taking it rough from the government are gonna be desperate to get back to some sense of financial sensibility. However, there's a right way and a wrong way. My local's answer to the problem of wanting more money was hey, lets open more (as in doing wednesday evening and saturday shoots on top of their normal sundays) because our customers wanna play as much as we want their money. The wrong way is diluting down the service and not even giving your customers the common fucking courtesy of explaining why. However i might want to hazard a theory as to the way he was acting. I'm not saying this is what is going on, and without the context of being there it's equally possible he's just an asshole. However, sometimes folk who are on the spectrum can have quirky ways of dealing with confrontational situations, if they start to get overloaded then falling silent and walking off to do seemingly mundane tasks can be a coping mechanism relied on right before the bottled up panic gets unleashed as rage. If this is the case then the very last thing you want to do is to follow them/further elevate the situation as they may be very close to breaking.
  13. Best of luck with it, hopefully my paranoid side is wrong, that things too shiny to not be on the field.
  14. It's a tricky issue. It is entirely possible this could be some very simple tweak required. I've seen folk get epic deals on "boneyard" guns that ended up a 10s job with a clearing rod to sort. Likewise there could be a broken part (especially if its a proprietary part) that will be a bastard to replace/fix. If there was some info as to what the problem is (low fps, poor/no feeding, inconsistent hop, etc) then it'd make deciding which is which a lot easier.
  15. that's a lot o' schmeckles for something with an unknown problem. sure if it's something simple to fix then it ain't so bad but for all the info given this thing could be wrecked inside.
  16. that's slightly better than the one i came up with, which i didn't post in case it went down like a lead balloon...... i mean at least it's green?
  17. i don't think there are many locations in the uk where that would be an effective set of colours
  18. cat's expression says it all.....
  19. even admits to expecting degraded performance having been sat in storage.......
  20. and as we all know, 2-tone adds value because nobody with a defence would want to remove it.....
  21. you could drop a fusion engine in there. but this is not what's happened here.....
  22. While that might look like a cheap knockoff red dot, it's actually an ion sight. Explains why it's so expensive, never really took off as a technology due to the ion emmissions causing some strange side effects including delusions. Apparently the problem was incorrect polarity but you know what its like once a story gets in the media. Theyre pretty much collectors peices these days.
  23. i tend to run first come first served. convo goes dead for more than 24h it goes to the next guy in the list.
