ruskitseller replied to ruskitseller's topic in Forum Feedback
The photo rule has been working a treat so far and is a great addition. I have not received any dodgy scam messages since. Now we seem to have voucher pushers using the small hours of the morning to try and post bizarre and extremely boring long messages in German about Basil Fawlty or something! (My German isn't what it used to be haha!!) 🤣 -

A very warm welcome to the old git club. I am a younger old git who enjoys the highs and lows of cutting about in ridiculous amounts of kit and taking things like comms with an frustratingly serious dedication at times haha! But..."at the end of the day" the hobby is just a bit of fun and in no way to be taken too seriously. My advice (for what it's worth which is normally approximately zero) is to start as you mean to go on in terms of site etiquette; it is better to over call your hits than under call them out of the uncertainty of being hit. You can never go wrong if you do that, apart from frustrating team mates who may say "that didn't even hit you (expletive)!" lol. Oh well, I'll be back in a minute...(in my head as "dead men can't talk"...) 🤣 Cheers

Yes I am not surprised, I was going to try making one myself and using the Lancer Tactical - 32 13" Gen 3 as a base but it would need a lot of work and money to get it close...if you half shut your eyes and look at it through binos the wrong way around...KS-1 from Wish

Good research mate, very interesting. How is the build going?
-
Ah cool - out of interest, how much would one expect roughly on recreating such a thing of beauty please?

That is a great job - thanks for sharing. I see some premium models coming out that are rather expensive... You have nailed the look. Is any of it 3d printed?

Great question mate, I love a bit of philosophy. But do/did I regret buying a new shiny RIF against my better judgement, the communities guidance and my wifes? In the words of Sean Connery: Absholutely! 🤣 And in the words of me that I thought about it last night. I was once doing some NLP training and the guy said "there's no such thing as failure, only feedback." Perhaps regret is the prerequisite to gaining wisdom and incite. Or that is how I make myself feel better about everything! 🤣 Cheers chaps! Off to work now.

Haha that made me lol. I believe you have just, as the yout say, "won the intranet" old chap. I googled Kicking Mustang and some of his "popular" vids on the Ytube- I get it now. Is it me or are a lot of airsoft vids in general now merely about clickbait that just promotes dramas rather than just a calm day of play in the spirit of good sportsmanship... I suppose controversy and arguments over daft things gets clicks and actually generates money. Odd world. Totally off topic (sorry, well sort of on topic regarding wives) but my wife likes watching that "Married at first site" and all it seems to be is arguments, conflict and drama non stop. It is a very popular programme so I am told. 🤣 Anyway, I may have done (I have) exactly what OP has done myself where I have asked for advice but already committed to doing the thing I want to do anyway, so I do get it, but all of this thread is actually really good advice for anyone considering getting into sniping. I have recently been thinking about getting back into it myself along with getting an SMG as a side arm, the last time I did it lasted 4 games with this custom made VSS where it was an SVD cut down and a really long suppressor fitted over the barrel...but that was 10 years ago. I am very tempted by one of the tac-41 lite's...

Yes mate, it is a very well known phenomena in the psycho-social sphere. The realisation can be used as a model in order to discuss things like trauma and also linked to the great existential questions surrounding free will versus that of determinism. The truth is, we all make up our minds, normally before we seek opinion. We tend to just look for confirmation bias to help us feel more ok with our decision, of course this isn't always the case - but with passions of buying new kit I think it probably is haha. Perfectly normal behaviours by the way - we all do it.

I have reached a point in my life where I am unsure of what is a joke and what isn't lol! Is this satire or legit? Thanks -

Haha! Story of my life Mark- "I was doing so well up until" 🤣 He is a bit of a cringey drama queen from what I have seen, but I have only watched around 5 of his vids. It seems he has done something terrible that I don't know about, I am going to google him now. It is a game full of a variety of different players and I have seen some very concerning behaviour and extremely angry outbursts over the years from plenty of different people that makes me question what I am doing running around in the woods pretending to be action man with dodgy knees, bruised ego and back haha. I did watch one of his vids (the last one I ever watched about 9 months ago) and thought - just that. I do like CamMan and also Names Nico who is a vet, but also I really liked Georaga who is also a really top bloke and a gentleman, but I think he has stopped content. I think the moral of the story for my comment is that...Airsoft has a way of bringing out the very worst of people and this gets shown on camera for likes and it is not always a realistic representation of what a normal game day is like...bullseye after bullseye...screaming "take your hits mate" ad nauseum. It doesn't give the game a great image and the reality is, for the most part - I think those situations are few and far between thankfully although that is anecdotal. Anyway, back on subject eh! Hi Andy, Fair enough mate. The thing is, the brain actually makes its mind up way before we consciously realise in some cases. Finding your own way is fine, you never know - you might get a sniper and be set. Now...which gun shall I get next only to sell on in a few months? 🤣 Cheers

Hi lads, Here are 2 sets of genuine Arc'teryx Military Knee caps as used by numerous special forces units. These are lightweight, low profile and durable - ideal for airsoft. They feature low-profile camlocks for quick adjustability and two robust elastic straps. The foam is anatomical shaping for fit and comfort and features articulated patterning for unrestricted mobility. These are held in very high regard as being the best knee pads in the world. Ideal for airsofting if you really want to look gucci. You cannot buy these from retailers unless you have a Mod 90 etc. (Silly rule but there we go!) I have used these and carefully cleaned them and found them to be excellent, but I prefer Alta's personally for the support, (my knees are old and bent!) but these look a lot cooler, are more lightweight, less cumbersome and manoeuvrable. Pair 1 = £73 Pair 2 = £73 Pricey, but it is still under the normal going prices of these used. Payment by paypal goods and services. Price includes RM 24 postage and paypal fee. Sorry - not interested in trades. Please check out my other items for sale by scrolling to the bottom of this page. Please also feel free to message me with any questions. Thanks for looking.£73

The lads chiming in are right... We see it a lot on site where new guys buy all the new sniper gucci gear - 2 weeks later it is all sold and replaced by a TM M4. But we have all done it with other RIFs so its probably more of a "do as we say and not as we do" sort of thing haha! 🤣 It is a totally different type of playstyle and nothing like that level in COD really. Also, it can be quite frustrating with non hit taking where you see the round hit someone's noggin and he won't take it and merely bugs out. Maybe watch some of Kicking Mustangs vids if you haven't already, they are quite entertaining and informative of the issues you may face...or maybe you have been watching too many of these vids...🤔 No dramas haha! But if you must - the Tac 41 lite is a really good one for the price and probably the best out of box budget option. Cheers

Good to know, what sort of range and accuracy are we talking about here from those who have commented? I may well pick one up, its proof that you don't always need to spend millions to have something decent. I remember having a TM springer pistol that was accurate up to 15 whopping gurt metres like a laser haha! Cheers chaps -

Hi there, This will hopefully be the last of the projects I need to get rid of. This was bought wayyyyy back in July from Patrol Base and it arrived back to me in November having been off to be cerakote sprayed in Coyote Tan professionally by Fife Wargames and then onto airsoft world for tech work. I basically lost interest and had my imagination sparked by other projects since. I put an MTP sheet behind the photos to give you an idea of the contrast and coyote tan is a very effective colour to blend it a bit more. It has been upgraded very minimally with a custom cut ZCI High Precision 6.02mm Stainless Steel Inner Barrel and a Prometheus Purple Hop Up Rubber Bucking and Nub. This would make a pretty cool light weight load out at 1.8kg. I was also going to buy another lower receiver pistol grip in black and add that on too. The paint job is really good...cerakote is probably the best thing you can coat your gat in. So here it is - at a bargain price. I paid £178.98 for the RIF and the parts - not to mention the install fee which is not included in total there. I bought a battery adapter and charged the battery (I recommend not using any battery that comes with any RIF or the BB's that come with it!) in order to chrono it and I didn't have any .2's so on .25's it comes out at 258 fps. I am not convinced the battery is very good though and I don't have another one to test it with. I was going to invest more and have the lot done, gear box, motor etc. and I recommend that whoever takes this on does just that. It would make a cool project for someone. Here is a vid I did of it firing: It comes with the mag, manual, cleaning rod, packet of BB's, battery and charger. Payment by paypal goods and services. Price includes postage and paypal fee. Sorry - not interested in trades. Please check out my other items for sale by scrolling to the bottom of this page. Please also feel free to message me with any questions. Thanks for looking.£118
