  1. Why is everything I want so goddamned expensive?

    1. EDcase

      EDcase

      You have expensive taste 😁

      Learn to love the cheap & nasty 🤣

      Tell me about it.

      I'm after a hubsan zino mini pro drone. 

      Sold one gun and selling another drone to pay for it.

      Still coming up short☹️

      Everything I like is illegal, immoral or fattening.

  2. Stop!

    Vector time!
    whoop whoop whoop!
    I am now the proud owner of a Krytac Vector again. 
    Now all I need to do is get fit enough again to field it.
    But one step at a time...

  3. Silverback - most annoying manufacturer?
    If you were going to give any youtube channel an exclusive - why give it to a channel with under 1000 subs???

      I think it's 7.62 mags...

      308's although I think I saw a 5.56 is coming as well.

      And just 18 video in 4 years.  Quite bizarre, maybe she's some sort of InstaTok celebrity, or whatever's popular in Hong Kong.

  4. Just noticed this, so I'm of for a spot of shopping - 
    15% off everything at Military 1st
    Whoop whoop!
    Well, it's awesome if you were gonna buy stuff there anyway...

    1. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      I was on the fence about buying anything this year. But realised I really needed to buy a Black Tac vest as I only have a tan chest rig at the moment. (Need more body protection!) 

       

      I already knew they had 15% off, saw they had this gorgeous looking Pentagon Apsis Vest. I had to have it! 

       

      Grabbed a few other bits like Grey Hat, Balaclava and a black Dump Pouch. 

  5. First game in what feels like forever. Although I will withhold my potential excitement as it's at F&O Stealth Woods and I'm not a fan of their chrono policy... But I will have to wait and see.
    Hopefully it'll be good to get out there again. Fingers crossed!

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      What random rules do they apply (to those that bother to follow them)?

       

      [EDIT] Oh, never mind, that's the lot with voluntary chrono but you'll get caught in game, which I actually agree with if they chrono aggressively all through to the end of the day.

       

      But they have that dribbling drivel about "actual" versus "variance" energy limits, when what they really have is "HPA" versus "everything else" limits, just phrased in an unnecessarily obfuscated way.

  6. 10% off all weekend at www.opticswarehouse.co.uk
    Their prices are usually pretty keen, so an extra 10% off is a bonus 😄

      Bugger ! There goes more money .🤦‍♂️

    3. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      Get anything nice?

       

    4. Druid799

      Druid799

      Rather nice little 2x pistol scope to use on a new double eagle PDW .

  7. And then there was one...
    Only my SRS left, as I bid farewell to my trusty Vector 😞 

    1. Skara

      Skara

      You quitting? or just slimming down the collection?

    2. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      Definitely not quitting. 
      Needed money to get a real pew, so sold pretty much everything. I've only got one primary left - the SRS.
      But... I've also got an mk23 that can double duty as a DMR, an HK45, a couple of CZSP01s and a couple of AW split slide hicapas...
      And about a million rounds of 0.48 ammo. So I'll not be leaving just yet 😄

       

  8. Sig MCX Virtus - anyone got one?
    If so, what d'you think?
     

  9. I've been selling stuff off in anticipation of leaving the hobby, but stopped whilst I still had some guns left. I haven't played since February, as I was utterly fed up cheating little scrotes - I play so I can chill out and relax, not so I can do an impression of The Hulk...
    But, I've decided to play a couple of games before I sell anything else. First is tomorrow. Have just spent the morning sorting a new MK23, fettling my SRS and testing my Vector. I can safely say I am very much looking forward to tomorrow - I just hope I'm not disappointed...

      EvilMonkee

      Or try a different version of Airsoft - historical for instance

    3. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      @Adolf Hamster If I'm playing less, I should be able to go further afield, so that's a good idea.

      @EvilMonkee I'm trying to avoid buying any more guns (heresy!), so that probably excludes me from anything historical (SRS/MK23/Vector)...

    4. Skara

      Skara

      I suggest investing in something that goes BRRRRRRRRT and has a drum mag.

      People will call their hits ;)

  10. Does anyone else end up hoarding airsoft stuff cos they just can't face the hassle of dealing with people?
    I've got a load of stuff I need to shift and just can't face it.
    But when I finally do.... I'm going shopping!

      Yes @rocketdogbert, you are odd, it's true 😉 
      Btw,  I'm sure I need to suggest you buy something... I think you should get the chiappa rhino when it's out 😄 

    3. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      Wowers - sold it - woohooo!
      I might have to pick the next one to go...

  11. Found out why my MWS did (has since been resurrected!).
    Getting .36s and .43s mixed up will do that to a rif...
    I accidentally chucked 1000 .43s through it.

    Damned bottles all look the same!
    😂

  12. 69 kph winds today.

    And rain. 

    The rain's no bother.

    But I'm fairly sure that level of wind makes playing pointless?

    1. AK47frizzle

      AK47frizzle

      Google said around 20-30mph today. My ass.

    2. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      30-35mph sounds about right round here.
      Game day cancelled.
      Gusts up to 65mph apparently and Yellow weather warnings in place.
      Boooooooooo.

    3. Philby21

      Philby21

      60mph+ gusts round here, I'm not going anywhere.

  13. Where's the best single place to find all the shotshow 2020 new releases?

      2019...

       

      Very few new things other than a few bits from PTS (MAWL prototype etc) and some of the RS companies (spiritus systems back panels, slings etc)

    3. AK47frizzle

      AK47frizzle

      nothing new tbh, just more m4s 😕

  14. It's Pewsday!
    Is there a better feeling than a new gun day?

    It's nowt special. But it will be when I've finished with it!  😄

      @sonofsammo can't believe I didn't ask. What pew and what are you doing with it?

    4. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      @Steveocee - lol
      It's an ASG MK23 with a couple of mags.
      220m mm CJ barrel
      Autobot rubber
      Fang plate
      Hadron TDC
      And at the moment, with .43s it's ranging poorly at around 60m - but, it's only around .8J for some reason - so I need to investigate!
      Didn't have much time when I stuck it all together, so am hoping it's an easy fix.
      Bizarrely, my mk23 sidearm is now a DMR, as the FPS on that has skyrocketed!
      So my sidearm is a DMR and my DMR is a sidearm 🤣

  15. Things went so well today, that I swear if someone told me about it I'd call bullshit 😂
    But, the AUG was toss.
    The wrong site to use it at. Live and learn.

  16. Holy shit!
    I got caught on vid playing airsoft!
    Shame the sound is wank, cos the MWS sounds amazeballs.
    Me and two team mates were aiming to cross the patch of grass at our front, to engage the enemy from behind... But then I saw that we were about to get attacked from behind!
    Unfortunately, turns out we were really, really close to their spawn, which is why they show up again so quickly after being shot!

  17. Fuck you Hermes 😞
    New SRS Maple Leaf hop unit comes all the way from Holland without issue.
    Gets to local Hermes depot allegedly to be delivered between 12 and 2 today...
    and
    Pffffffffft!
    Like that, it was gone...

      Hermes managed to loose my 3d printer i ordered from amazon, amazon refunded me then the printer turned up 4 days later.

      However... Just saw a post on FB saying that ML are recalling them all due to a fault with manufacturing tolerances in the chamber causing jamming and loading issues...
      Awesome!

      Oh ffs - was swearing at a spammer. And it looks like his post has now been deleted.

      So, now it looks like I'm swearing at a respected forum member.
      Sorry dude.
      I see spammers and develop a severe potty mouth!

  19. Pissed it down all day today.
    Despite waterproofs, was absolutely sodden.
    Was one of the best days of airsoft I've had in a long time.
    Good times 😄

      Aw, bugger. That's a shame.

      I'm gonna go there at some point too.

      You going to PG next weekend?

    3. Lokai

      Lokai

      Unfortunately not, other half is working shift that weekend, next pg for me will be that charity event mid November. Am tempted by that new YTA kingdom site though.

    4. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      Cool, I'll probably be there too.

      I'm tempted by the kingdom. Just depends when the game days fall, after the first one.

  20. Tag malfunction yesterday 😞
    Was loading it and as I pushed the shell into the launcher, it went off. The launcher deposited the full load of gas in my face, the tag round landed at my feet. I was stunned. Then the fucker went off. I was considerably more stunned.
    Grenade launcher was fucked, as was my hearing 😞 Not good.
    On the plus side, I got the highest number of kills that day. 6 in one go!
    Just a shame they were all on my team....

      Tag malfunction OR operator malfunction ? 

      Pushed too hard on the activator possibly ?

    3. Musica

      There is a error code for this in the IT support world PEBKAC

       

      problem exists between keyboard and chair

      Tag malfunction. Was pushing on outer metal ring with gloveless fingers...

  21. 15% off at Military 1st with code PAYDAY7 until 1st August - good times 😄 

     

  22. I haven't pewed in three weeks.
    And I can play today - (only for a half day, but better than nowt).
    But...
    I can't be arsed.
    Normally all my kit is already packed, but cos I used the bag for a trip away, it's all over the place.
    Anyone else feel like getting kit ready is a ballache?
    On the plus side, I found some mk5's I forgot I had. Which is nice.

    1. BibbsOnTour

      BibbsOnTour

      I can relate...

       

      However, I usually can't be arsed til the last minute then end up packing til about 1:30am the night before and then have to be up at 6:30/7am to get to the site and spend the first 2 games just waking up!

  23. Can't find Geoff's .48s anywhere - so time to test BLS .48s. Fingers crossed...

      Managed to grab so .5s to avoid going short, but .48s been missing for a while now. 

       

      Geoff and Longbow sold out

    3. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      @P13 I've got a bag of .5s - but can't see where the fuck they're going, cos they're silver!

      Hahaha yeah it’s the issue I have, just tell your self you hit them, well done champ 🤣

  24. Wearing a go pro means you win every 50/50. 100% guaranteed you'll never have to go 50/50 again. And you sure as shit won't just straight up lose.

      I mean:
      Wearing a gopro turns you into an utter cheating bastard who'll never accept a 50/50 and ALWAYS thinks they shot you first and plays like it.
      The idea of actually being shot is alien to them.
      And if they do get hit, they can just sort it out in the edit.
