I'll bear that in mind. I sneezed earlier and thought I'd frigging broke em all! So have become very averse to sneezing, coughing, laughing.... Don't fancy pneumonia as well though lol

I can seriously empathise. How long did it take them to mend?

My darling son got my SRS out to check on it properly. And hurrah! It has survived completely unscathed. As has the scope! So sacrificing myself was worth it in the end 🤣

Absolutely gutted bud - -and on opposing teams to boot! I still haven't gathered the courage to properly check the SRS over. I think the scope is fucked, but that's alright cos it's a vortex lol. And there he is! The man himself! Thanks to this chap I wasn't pissing blood all over the game area making a mess 😄 Thanks again dude.

I was a bit gobsmacked when I found out.

Here's a vid giving the guy who helped me's perspective. I'm disheartened with what he reveals about some of the other players https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbYO7xxjEPY/?utm_medium=copy_link&fbclid=IwAR3U0iYoViaGL72Hj1gqgM4ICjM7hQPgiZwQiYwl6CYvHrdSWwz9cyKk0Jk 😔

Remember.... you asked for it! 🤣 First pic is contents of my cap immediately afterwards. It looked like one of my kids had emptied a pack of ketchup in there! Second is my bonce, obviously. Third is my ribs.

Well, I've just had mine! I was playing at YTA Borderlands, near Huddersfield,. It's a really nice site (from what I got to play) and the marshals are excellent (very professional, thank God!). It's a sniper's paradise, but not at the expense of everyone else. I was working with two other snipers as part of a pincer movement on an objective, but I got slotted by a counter sniper. All good, I went to a respawn point - but the respawn point was very close to an enemy held objective. I had seen two leave and rather than retreat to a safe distance, I took a shot. To be met by a barage of return automatic fire. They couldn't range me, so I spun on my heels and ran, just as their team members were piling out of the objective to join in. There's me and running and never the twain should meet. The safety brief told us to watch out for the rocky terrain and that things were unstable underfoot. I'd even listened to the safety briefing, as I'd never been there before. However, this information eluded me whilst "running for my life". I was at full tilt, tripped on a rock and went flying. As I was flying through the air I had one thought "Must. Protect. Rifle." And so I twisted to angle the rifle away from the ground. Stupidest fucking thing I've ever done. Instead of twisting it away from me, I ended up landing on it and as my head went down it cracked a rock. I lay there, unmoving, staring at the tree canopy and blue sky beyond and watched as it swirled. I was still being shot. Which was nice. But didn't have the air in my lungs to shout anything. And I couldn't raise my arm. It felt like they were adding insult to injury, so I managed to stick one middle finger up. Unfortunately, rather than thinking something was wrong, or accepting my arm was in the air, they took it as a taunt and continued to fire 🤣 Eventually, I think I heard someone say "is he actually alright?" and they came over to check on me. The first person to arrive was a cracking player called Alan, who just happened to be a first aider. He checked me over and between them they got me sat up. Alan removed my cap, as I'd said I'd hit my head, so that he could just check if everything was ok. His reaction was dramatic and something along the lines of "OH MY GOD, someone get a med kit!". To be honest, I thought he was just taking the piss to make me feel better and was expecting the next line "only joking". But it never came. I had a hole in my head and it was leaking lots of blood and scalp tissue. The marshals had already called ceasefire, and the players all responded immediately - I felt terrible I'd ruined the game and lost them playing time. I was carted off the field and I have to say, the YTA team (and Alan and Andy, two very kind players) did a cracking job looking after me. After waiting 3 hours for an ambulance that never came, the manager of YTA, Paul arrived and decided it would be quicker to just drive me to A&E. So my heartfelt thanks to him for that, otherwise I might still be waiting! Sum total of damage - hole in head, sewn up with four stitches, two broken ribs and severe bruising. Damage to my SRS and MK23 is currently unknown as I haven't dared look. The irony of doing that much damage to myself in an effort to not get shot a lot and then getting shot a lot as well is not lost on me. They're certainly my worst injuries from airsoft, how about you guys and gals?

Yeah, that's really bad! I'm guessing you've corrected it since then?

Well, not really. Sorry, I meant Joule creep is a thing. Table attached is a set of five shot strings. First column is using 0.2g and second is 0.48g. Third column isn't relevant to Joule creep, I just wanted to know what difference a single power ring would make. So by changing the weight of my ammunition I get around a 13% increase in power. Because of variance in chrono's I don't run my rifle close to the 2.32J limit any more and still get decent enough range and accuracy. But imagine if I had it set up for 2.32J on 0.2g BB's, as lots of places chrono on 0.2 - they even provide them for you. That would mean when I swapped to my 0.48s, I would be shooting at around 2.62J. It's no longer an airsoft rifle. It's not an air rifle. It's a section five firearm. Which I could use at some sites to shoot AT people. Now that's just utterly fricking mental. In fact, what's more mental is, even without a change in ammunition, it's still a section 5 firearm, because of the "readily convertible" aspect. Anyway, I'm off to somewhere that chrono's on 0.2s tomorrow. Tally Ho!

I told my friend the other day that I built a model of the Himalayas. He asked "to scale?" I replied "no, just to look at".

Now admittedly, cos of the pandemic and brexit, I haven't bothered looking at TG prices for a long while. But is it just me or have they rocketed up? I was thinking of picking some stuff up when I next go over there, but the prices for rifs look not entirely dissimilar to the UK and have rather put me off. Gutted really.

I ended up in the cells the other day. I'd gone to B&Q to look for some wood for the garden. This cock in an orange overall asked me if I wanted decking. So I got the first punch in.

My wife said to me the other day "and what's more, you never bloody listen!" That's a funny way to start a conversation, I thought. I decided to get a vasectomy because I didn't want kids. Sadly they were still there when I got home from the operation. My wife told me to get in touch with my feminine side. So I crashed the car. Then didn't talk to her for a week.

I used to have an MWS, with orga barrel, brass nub and npas running on hpa with a custom drum mag (thanks to the insane genius of @rocketdogbert) It was nothing short of epic. But it cost me over a grand, which I can't afford again, sadly.

I know I've been away from here for a while. Been busy playing with real pewpews. But am thinking of getting back to playing and my SRS just isn't calling to me as it did. I stopped playing because I was getting seriously frustrated by working my balls off for a shot, only to have the fucker refuse to call a hit. So I want distance AND follow up shots. LOTS of them. Hence thinking about a DMR. I think that's all I'm bothered about. I'm platform agnostic. I just want something to kill lots of people from as far away as possible, whilst not spending a tonne of cash. So..... where do I start? I'm shit with electrics, better with gas guns. I'm comfortable with changing hop units / barrels etc. But I'm open to either. For simplicity I was wondering about a TM M14, but have no idea what real life range that has out of the box. Relevant help and advice most welcome. ( I realise that might not be enough information for responses, if I've missed anything, give me a nudge) TIA 😄

How is this cunt not in jail yet? If PSNI were aware of all of the instances, surely they would do something?

Can't use it til next weekend, but am VERY excited! TM MK23 , with the usual internal gubbins upgraded. Running 0.45s on red gas @ 1.14J. No MED. Range with rangefinder is a solid 70m, although can reach out to 80m. 350 round drum mag. It's a close to an automatic sniper as I've ever used. And it's very quiet. I don't think I have ever been so excited about using a toy gun! I can't thank @rocketdogbertenough for the drum. Simply awesome, as ever! Thank you X infinity! If happiness had a picture in the dictionary, this is what it would be.

Everyone with an MWS should have one - turns it into an ABSOLUTE BEAST!
