nah mate, it's hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper

for me it's ky airsoft, had to dispute with them after they didn't ship backorder items despite the whole range of said items being back in stock on their site. they kept trying to get me to cancel the dispute (which i didn't do as paypal are very specific about no second tries) ended up having to go to paypal. sadly i fear i may now be on their blacklist yeah, that was the sentiment i was trying to get at, this isn't TG's fault further than their choice of courier, but i reckon they're gonna be more responsive to the mass of complaints than UPS will given the relative size of the companies.

it is a fair point, i've never had to deal with tg's customer service mostly due to assuming any foreign retailer to be a case of returns not being a practical option. maybe "reasonably popular" would be a better term?

i'm kinda hopeful that if people start having to pull paypal disputes with TG it'll maybe persuade them to offer another carrier. whilst i don't like a reasonably decent retailer to have to take a hit like that it may well be the only way.

as above, it's incredibly daunting the first time, and somehow even more daunting the second, but airsoft is a great hobby for being able to just randomly show up unless you're renting in which case you're gonna want to book ahead). if you haven't anyone to drag along then honestly the only advice is to channel your inner shia labeouf and just do it

fair enough, i'm guessing the tag shells don't have any fancy shenanigans for resetting them then. any particular look you're going for or just straight functionality?

that really blew out of proportion, remember coming back seeing mack's had grown by half a dozen pages being like "wtf did i start!?" haven't a clue, never had a gbb with auto.

i feel like i need to ask the obvious question here, but how are you planning on that fitting in a launcher?

fair point, been a while since we've had one of those debates. they're always fun

is it bad that i kinda want it to happen now because the irony of us talking about it will be so much more delicious

awaiting someone finding that out of context on google and signing up to berate you for it in a years time

indeed. don't really know why folk need to overshoot rentals, popping one sneaky shot into them to hear the yelp is enough entertainment

not so sure on running from grenades, but i would agree with a ban on trying to throw them back, had it happen with a fella tried to throw it back assuming it wasn't going to go off, fortunately it was a thunder b (which is why he assumed it had failed) and he was wearing decent gloves so no no actual harm done.

i can see where you're coming from with that, although the rounded edges just make it look slightly chunky for what it is. i mean really we're discussing which form of heresy gets burned at the stake and which merely gets beheading here

fair enough, can't be right all the time

ahh, that puts paid to my theory in your status update then unless, and i wouldn't suggest it if i hadn't been tricked myself- you haven't been duped by the combat union adjustment wheel have you? insofar as it can look like it's supposed to go the opposite direction to turn the hop on than it does....

because a drum magazine is a believable thing for a pistol compared to 5.56x45 magically shrinking into 9x19......

dummy grenades i don't think should count like actual pyro, but that doesn't make them useless. lob a dummy grenade (and the inventive things that can be used such as chocolate bars) then shoot them as they try to flee. yeah it's the kind of rule that's best left for video games. one of those rabit holes that if you started you couldn't get out of- if plate hits don't count do non-lethal grazing shots not count? what about lucky leaf bounces? etc etc.....

Its the circle of life.....

thought occurrs, as we're discussing different game rules: gun hits..... there seems to be 3 options: all gun hits count, so if you poke the end of your suppressor out of a window someone can bounce a round off it to tag you the first gun hit doesn't count and you have to either swap to pistol, or walk if you don't have a pistol guns are bulletproof most sites i've played at tend to opt for the latter, although a mate of mine did get caught out by a wannabe novritsch type character who called him out because he was used to gun hits counting (even though on the site he was playing at the time they don't count). whilst i like the middle option (gives pistols a bit more game time) i can get why most places go for the latter as it's a rule that can generate confusion. likewise i can understand counting them from the point of view that a lot of "gun hits" wouldn't exactly save you if it were actual lead being slung downrange (but then if you're making that argument should armour plates not count?)

speak for yourself, imma just mount the bayonet on the dragonuv. social distancing thine filthy casuals

havent watched the vid but afaik the americans tend to be bigger on their bang/surrender/mercy rules purely because they run higher fps where a lot of folks have some form of med. personally i fall into the camp of bang rules being courtesy only- you get the drop on someone then you can choose to do the bang rule, if they accept then happy days, if they try some john wick shenanigans then light them up. if you pull a bang rule and the other guy can pull some john wick shenanigans and shoot you first then you weren't in a position to be giving out a bang kill in the first place. i dislike both having them enforced or banned, as it's highly situational, for example if memory serves the last time i gave a bang kill i had the barrel of my makarov basically pressed against the guys shoulder, it would have been a dick move to just shoot him like that hence proferring the bang kill which he accepted. likewise i've had folk get the drop on me just pop a single round somewhere that doesn't hurt and i can get why they'd choose to do that and prevent arguments (even if i would have accepted the kill in that situation). now granted i'm coming from an environment where med's aren't a thing, but my view on that is it's precisely why pistols exist and frankly if you want to play the marksmans role you really should be trying to avoid up close action to begin with. knife kills are a different story- should absolutely be mandatory to take them (well, if we aren't bringing covid and social distancing into this) and if someone's had the skills to sneak up on you for a knife kill the least you can do is give them the courtesy of dying quietly, plus it'll make for some good theatre as you walk to respawn watching them take out your team.

could do, those zci 6.02's are cracking for the price and happy enough with the ml stuff. tbh i suspect window length is probably more important than width, but we're getting into very theoretical territory

called it.....
