SCAR H, I’ve had an AEG H and L and now have a WE GBB SCAR L, really adaptable, and as mentioned cool as feck…
-
G and G m4, in various guises, about to change again, simple because I was watching Sicario over the Christmas break….🤦🏻♂️

I was the same for a while, marshalling paintball and airsoft meant I saw some excellent scenarios, but I realised I don’t mind getting pinged, it was fine as long as everyone in the stramash was playing fair. Ive adapted the same now when I get a chance to play, I don’t shit the bed if I get hit straight off the bat, nor do I get a stiffy if I get a run on the opposite team during play. Marshalling/watching/standing back allows you to see how a game flows, if it works and ultimately how to hopefully win it, if you get involved 😉

I am looking for a GBB HK53, we used them on the NI boarding teams when I was there 1998-2001, and they were a great fit, especially climbing a rope ladder, in the night up the side of a ferry that was cutting along at a rate of knots. Just felt more agile than the 5.56. Couldn’t tell you the designators , but range days/zeroing/proficiency days were great crack. misty eyes coming on…🥲

Well it is Christmas, prime time for Only Fools and Horses….

I’m too old and fat to run about with a cummerbund or mega hyper plate carrier. I’ve always found belt kit easier. @ButcherBill, I was also running an old 58 pattern webbing belt with repro fastmag holders for my main kit. I just augmented with a cheapo vest for ‘impact protection’. Served me well for ages. I still have a belt set up and a viper vest for game days, albeit with pouches, just had to get the old expansion Velcro bits added. Although I have seen some padded hip belts, interested to see if anyone is using them, my fear is an overly sweaty lower back/arse

I watched that the other day. What a great movie. Such an underrated movie, even Sean Bean as a buffoon is a great character.

Almost a bit of raspberry jam back there…

This is a great read, with good responses so far. it reminds me of a similar thread in an MTB forum I was on, and there was an American website, that for $15 dollars ‘Admin fee’, would send you an invoice/bill for whatever you agreed with them. That way significant others wouldn’t find out how much you spent…..

WAFU…from my Royal Navy days Wet And F@cking Useless… and MUPPET Most Useless Person Pusser Ever Trained

Yep, as this is the only forum I catch up on I was very grateful to see it back online this morning

For what it’s worth, over the years, I’ve yet to hear an EBB that doesn’t sound like a sewing machine on crack. And +1 for more things to go wrong,

To be fair, this stuff is everywhere. Remember the White House Department for Agriculture listed Wakanda as a trade partner nation..which was only put on the list as a test to see if the staff were checking stuff..

Although I agree that we need to have regulations and systems in place to protect the vulnerable from themselves (and stop the bampots holding up post offices [if there’s any left]) , I get frustrated when my 7 year old can buy this M16/203 style water gun for a tenner in a chain discount store. If I wanted , 5 mins with a screwdriver removes the tank part and frame and some spray paint and I’d have created a RIF. I was pretty shocked at the detail, although it’s clearly plastic UP CLOSE. Pictured next to my 9” railed m4 for comparison ( PS: it does scoot water really far and fairly accurately by pumping the 203 handgrip)

Got a bit fed up waiting for the resin delivery and used some cam tape. Will remove and finish all black eventually. Hopefully the longer curved pistol grip allows smoother cocking and takes the jerking motion off my wrist, need that for… “other things”….
-
Functionality, also a degree of boredom. I previously had the Franchi SAS and didn’t like the fit of the pistol grip and stock. I replaced that with an m870 which was comfier for me. The principle for this bodge is that I’ll have the longer curved handle (similar to older shotguns) and the stock length tucks into the crook of my elbow for swift cocking. Which so far when I’ve been manhandling it, is comfortable. Still a bit to do, I’ll let you know if it’s a tremendous success or a complete disaster

Found an old ASG tri shot in a bag under some stuff in the garage. Was never a fan of the pistol grip, so took it off and decided to make a stock that suits my “larger than usual “ chip shovels (hands, for those struggling). MDF core, then built around it with foam pipe cladding and paper maiche to make the skeleton. Got some wooden packers on the pistol grip, and waiting on some tape and resin to finish it off. Will post a finished pic soon

I marshalled at SPC in Shotts and then managed/ran the Wargames Centre in Ayrshire for 4 years for the owner. It’s not easy, you try to be fair, make sure the game brief is understood, make sure everyone is safe and deal with real issues, and as long as the marshal team pay attention (not staring at phones), everything else is really up to the players. You’ll never please all of the people all of the time. Some folk thing they are Jonny Concrete with laser shots, others can start the quiet rumours that someone isn’t taking hits, then it spreads like the flu and you need to get right into the skirmish, which hurts, to ensure everyone is playing fair. It did sour my view of some players, but also there are many moments where your faith in humanity is restored..to a degree 😂, when you get a genuine ouchy or safety issue or just congratulations for great shooting or gamesmanship. There’s generally many more good guys than dickheads, and you just need to keep a level head.

Hello, found these mid caps in my locker. I’m primarily using gas now so these are not needed. Can’t remember the capacity but hold 50/60+ and feed okay. Three mags , Classic Army, and 2 others, all feeding through with no issues. I had Velcro on them to slot nicely into my m4 magwell but now removed. Previously dusted with khaki/sand spray paint. 4th mag is a classic army mid cap which you can see has damage to the top but still works, but thrown in as a spare/ repair. Not looking for anything or trying to make money, £8 to cover the postage and possibly buy a pint after cheers£8

Hello, found this old belt kit in my locker. 4 “fast mag” multi cam pouches and an old army webbing belt. I had these on the belt and on a plate carrier so straps are a bit old, but you usually would secure with a cable tie to be safe £8 posted for the lot.£8

Not sure if there are other viable ways that wouldn’t encounter a lot of scrutiny. You could drive back into the UK with them possibly once you’ve attended a few UK games and have a playing history. Via ferry. I have some friends who once drove across to Italy from Glasgow for a Paintball comp and they had trouble explaining the gas cylinders and regulator stuff in the van when they were stopped. Everyone else just arranged for gas to be supplied at the site….
