And buying it that way probably comes with some sort of warranty...

£449 from DK Armaments new for the rifle, then £123 off Amazon for the SUSAT makes £572 in my book…

So £330 for the rifle and £15 for the lipo - £345
So 2/3 puts it more like £228
So about £100 over priced, unless I'm missing something?

Picked a helluva couple of days to come and check in on you guys 😅
For what it's worth I've banned a few bots this morning.
Still got my old powers so I'm helping!
Boom! Headshot!

sonofsammo got a reaction from djben9 in Garden canes and tin cans can be fun!
Well what can I say, other than I'm bored?
Haven't played since I headbutted a rock, but still need to shoot things. As do my boys.
We'd been shooting in the garden, using tin cans, at ground level.
I had an epiphany - I was teaching my boys to shoot people's feet!
Useless.
So I immediately went out and bought a load of garden canes.
I then stuck them in the ground all over the (enclosed) garden. I topped them off with a cat food tin and voila - one course of fire created for pennies! Sod these electric target systems - it was an absolute blast and cheap as chips.
You can do all sorts of drills, lay them out in any order you want. The only limit is your imagination.
Why dafuq I never thought of it before is beyond me.
As the boys improve, I'll start designating different targets as pistol and rifle, so they can transition between the two.
By the time they can actually play, they're going to be awesome 😄
Anyway... if you haven't, I can highly recommend it and if you have, I'm open to any further ideas to make it even better.

Novritsch doesn't manufacture anything he only sells overpriced rebranded guns. This gun is just a KJW KCO2 isn't it?

Just get clones, at this rate it’s not worth the hassle or funding the Russian economy even if it is pennies.

Fuck no - unless I'm missing something, this is an ASG MK23, which is £55 new.
There's no mention of any upgrades.
An extra mag is £25.
So for £80 plus post, you can have it new. Which means that the tape is costing you £60 over new, not a tenner.
Which is basically another MK23.
No, no and thrice no!
The fucked mag is worth zero.

Either way, the going rate for those is £40-45 each.
I payed £300 for 5 once...but it also came with a free TM CQBR.

I think it was deliberate - he was correcting his own memory from ppk to USP. So it could have been just further evidence of his inaccurate recollection?
Or
They were all anti 2A types who loathe guns and think they're all the same...

I used to keep the metal lids on jam jars, piece of masking tape with a number on each & hang them on the washing line with clothes pegs.
Someone calls various numbers while the shooter then engages said numbered lid as quickly as possible, with the added bonus of an audible "ping" & a visible swing when hit, my lad used to love it & it definitely improved his abilities.

There’s nothing wrong with learning to shoot feet ….. as part of practicing to shoot different targets
(though in airsoft a boot shot is an easy one to ’not feel’)
You won’t always be shooting from a stand up position against someone in a stand up position, practice for various sizes of targets in various positions / heights
Dodgeball
A two person exercise is dodgeball, which is practicing ‘first shot accuracy’
I’m a little blurred on the rules as they can be changed for your needs.
Two players face to face, with guns down to their side (or pistols holstered etc)
Take turns
The target must stay in position, they may be allowed to lift one foot, but can lean to the side (hence dodgeball)
The shooter raises their gun and shoots
The target decides to stay still (think it’s going to miss) or can swerve (think its going to hit)
Then depending on hit or miss:
The target that has been hit loses use of a body part (eg first take a knee, next down on both knees, one arm behind their back (and can’t steady a rifle)
Perhaps go as far as disabling both arms behind the targets back
Once a target has taken their penalty it’s their turn to shoot
The second shooter either inflicts penalties or restores their penalties :
If you have taken a penalty then you restore your body part when you make a hit
(If you’re restoring penalties then this could last a long time, but if you are just inflicting penalties then you see who knocks out the other first
Once one player has no legs and arms then they reset, standup and you get closer or further away
(Ideally make it harder, so the winner takes a step back, but you can also make it easier and the loser takes a step forward)
If you’re doing step forward then it’s probably best that with every hit the shooter remains a shooter, and with every miss you change shooters
Targets
Set a line of targets which are each a little harder to hit
(such as further away, smaller targets, etc)
Set about 3 to 5 firing positions in front of each other
Start in the middle firing position
Shoot the nearest / easiest target
If you hit then take a shot at the next
If you miss take a step forward
If you hit all targets take a step backwards
Take your time to begin with plenty of aiming, once you can accurately hit all then speed up
Once happy with a good speed then mix up the target order such as middle, near, far
When you can accurately hit all sizes at all ranges whilst standing then you have to walk through, then next jog through
(When moving shoot at the middle first, furthest then nearest to ensure that you have to change the distances you’re aiming while you go)
On the moving run throughs start from a mid point. If you are missing then start nearer and if you are hitting then start further away & then speed up
((((Note that these exercises are even less suitable for gardens and are best suited for well controlled areas …. Such as on site)))

sonofsammo got a reaction from SeniorSpaz87 in John Wick SRS scope
I've got one of these sat in front of me right now (I used to have it on my SRS)... It looks very similar to the one in the pic, but I'm not 100%.
The scope mount looks interesting as it looks like it can be elevated.
@Jay851 I can recommend the SRS one piece scope rings as a good partner to the Diamondback, if that's the way you decide to go.
