  1. I'm officially a Uni drop out, signed the papers this morning. Feel much better now. Just have to find something to do...

      Or just go get a job in the British Channel Islands. :D I went to Jersey in the Channels this summer. When the gun bans on certain categories of firearms came about in this country, they stood up. Roads were blocked because everyone was protesting to their Government. And to this day they are still enjoying shooting real steel handguns and fullbore Semi-Automatic rifles... Just like everybody else in Europe is.

      Well now, there's a plan.

      Yep. Northern Ireland still has Handguns like all the British Channel Islands do (Isle Of Man, Guernsey etc... Not the Isle of Wright though). And if you are a member of the Police, Armed Forces and Prison Service also I believe, you are allowed to conceal carry a Handgun on your person. It is only Jersey who allows fullbore Semi-Automatic Rifles still though. I'm working there for 7 months early next year. Can't wait. Lot's of shooting to be done and improve my skills for sure.

  2. So my Uni lot have started getting their UKARA now, so far we've got 4 G&G M4s, a VFC SCAR L and a G&P Mk.46 added to the groups armoury. I taught them well... :')

      Those M4s are horrible. guy at my local has one that has a box mag and runs 11v lipos :/

      There's a point where the sheer homosexualness of a gun can completely negate it's killing potential.

      I know there's licensing issues and stuff but ICS could at least've made their 416ish things look relatively acceptable.

  3. Anyone interested in a Mk6 helmet? £20 posted? Need to shift it sharpish.

      I have the smallest head ever it would appear! Problem is all standard Berets are made with the same amount of material no matter what band size it is, pure pain in the backside!

      Nah, got an Officer's beret, there's about 6cm less material on it so it looks like a normal Beret on a normal sized head. Solutions!

  4. Quite amazed that DICE and EA have actually released BF4 at all. It ought to be called BugField: Unlimited.

      I started back with 1942, epic game. I had a few games of bad company but can't say I had the same experience as you lol. There isn't much to cater to old school BF style gamers now apart from mods or ARMA which is more full on and realistic than a standard BF game.

      Ive played it at my cousins on ultra, and yes the visuals are nice but it looks all a bit flat and way to crisp. Loads of glitches too and crashed 4 times in a matter of an hour or two. Glad i didnt pre order it! gta all the way..

      I'm with Marcus on this. If G36s weren't a thing, I could live on that world fairly happily.

       

      As for what I want though... Everything basically. I'd actually quite like a gas G36, just because its gas lol. Top of my list is a WE M4 CQBR, the new MP5 and I'd kill for an AK PMC and EBR as well =\

  7. Kittens! :o First thought? I wonder how much they'll sell for... I can buy airsoft gear, as a present from the cat, for putting up with her for a year!

      The mother is a Persian pure breed, and cost us £350 as a 3 month old kitten last year, but the father is just your average house cat, tabby black thing.

       

      So the kittens are nothing special, and I probably won't even get to have any of the money =[ But I was still hoping lol. We'll probably get £100 for them at the most, £40 at worst.

       

      Still, better than nothing. And it's not like we didn't try to find a male Persian.

      Wasn't there a few G3/HK33 floating around 'Nam, Thai and Navy Seals? Could go for this or other more obscure 'nam loadouts rather than just dressing lie a grunt with a paper pack of ciggies strapped to your helmet. although if you're not dressing like a grunt then prob no-one will know exactly what it is. And the main rule of coolness is if you have to explain why it's cool then it isn't cool.

    4. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      Haha yeah, pretty much.

      Basically I just really want an excuse to get a GBBR M16A1, and I'd feel wrong running it if I wasn't using all the right kit with it =/

       

      Plus, the cigs on the helmet is what I'm going to use to disguise my camera lol.

      Yeah should be, first step, get rid of that A&K gearbox :P. Oh, and don't get a G&P gearbox as a replacement, as good as they are, they don't fit in A&K receivers.

    3. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      Sure it's the same with the SR25 series rifles? I'd have thought they'd be built to more similar internal dimensions.

       

      It'll be Patrol Base that sort it out, so they'll have to figure out what the best gearbox shell is. I wonder if KWA make SR25 gearboxes...

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      It might be different, but I bought a G&P gearbox to replace the A&K one in my M4 and it didn't fit properly. Was a really tight fit and moving the fire selector was impossible, and when I took it out, it ripped the tappet plate off.

  11. Anyone recommend a good sniper hop rubber? My stock one lasted about 60 shots at 500fps... Has to be a VSR type.

      I got my R-Hop patches from AirLab, would have thought they'd be the same from everywhere though?

       

      About the barrel, there's so much debating on whether the tightest you can find is better, wider is better or whether somewhere in the middle is. From what I've read, the general thoughts are that 6.01 for closer ranges, giving a higher FPS increase, and wider barrels (6.05+) for long range rifles, as they create a more stable flight with a cushion of air around the BB.

      Madbull recently released a vsr bucking- will be worth a try.

  12. New Osprey ought to be here this week, JDAirsoft ought to be restocking the sniper I'm after soon, I've spoken to a guy about getting me a new helmet, and my loan came through today! January is looking good :P

      Good shout, so it is a Mk3. To be fair, I don't thin it is illegal for you to buy it, but for them to sell it is a bit naughty...Oh well, I have a Bergen full of kit I never signed for wedged in the garage at home, there not getting that back in a hurry either!

    4. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      Considering getting a NVG scope as well... But I'm not sure it can be mounted to the sniper I'm going to be getting. Plus, the cost is slightly off putting...

  13. Everything's here! My new sniper weighs a freakin' ton! D= My L85 feels like an ideal CQB gun in comparison haha.

      Airsoft-Ed

      The weight is almost entirely forward of the hop unit... So it's like holding a minimi with both arms out stretched.

      Weighs about 6.5/7kg with the scope on and mag in.

      So not as much as a SAW, but the weight makes you feel it a lot more.

       

      Not to mention you have to juggle the weight in one arm whilst you cock the spring back, which isn't particularly light either.

    3. TPI

      TPI

      Nick! try wielding the SAW with one hand like a Pistol, That is what he's feeling Nick do you even lift? Mine felt like a Toy in the weight Department it was so light! i could one hand it for 4 whole minute's upon which my wrist would give in and i wouldn't be able to use my hand for 3 hour's -_- wonder how long i could do it for now....

    4. Chippins

      Chippins

      God I had to do that in a Hold the flag game, ended up using my knee as a makeshift gun cradle, properly wrecked.

       

      But yeah, I Have genuinely been reading your name as Nickonia, my dyslexia has a habit of adding extra vowels in places they shouldn't be :/

  14. No one buy any of the new Ares sniper rifles. They are the most badly designed weapons ever, period. The BBs can fall from the feeding mech back into the cylinder area, the mags don't feed, the feeding mechanism doesn't work, they can't be upgraded beyond the barrel, hop arm, piston, spring guide and spring, and if JD will take it, I will be sending it back, or swapping it for a lump of shit. As that would be less disappointing...

My name was taken, my card details are "wrong" and WarThunder has been adapted HORRIBLY for use with a controller. Quite disappointed. I'll be getting BF4 tomorrow though, so hopefully it'll be easier to judge once I'm playing something I know.

      Get a normal length m4 and take the extension off, I bought a cqbr and the barrel isn't quite the right length. I'm not that fussed as it's like 1cm difference but your provably more bothered than I am :P

    3. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      I assumed that buying a standard length one would land with with a standard length inner barrel as well, and I'm too lazy to buy a shorter one lol.

    4. M_P

      M_P

      Well my only experience is with the 416 and the inner barrel in between in length, shorter than with the extension, longer than without so a bit of a pain. End of the day I think it's just a cm or so and not a big deal but depends on how anal you are ;)

      Typo's are:-

      <I’d advise you not to get a gas rifle as yourfirst gun though>= your first ..

      <A USNavy Seal maybe>= A US Navy Seal..

       

      Also consider revising the phrase <"I was a month 18 when I discovered airsoft">= maybe < a month over 18 > ?

      I wrote it in Word and then pasted it over to Facebook, where the lines ended on Word and dropped to a new line, they didn't start a new line on Facebook, which for some reason means it had to not leave a space... I added a ton of spaces back in but must've missed some.

      As for the phrase, I think it's clear enough what I mean.

Although far too many skinny young people around makes it difficult to shift some of my camo gear!!

      I did fly them, so was I :) I only gave up due to a neck injury and not being able to look up for that long lol I still have my kyosho trainer 50 and kyosho duct fan f16 somewhere

    3. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      I used to fly a ducted fan A10 and a sort of cessna-type thing, both electric. As well as various different gliders. Not done it for a while though, 'cos the club I was a part of decided you have to pass some sort of practical test to get a license or certificate or something and without it, they won't insure me.

       

      So I've not done anything since then, even though the test will be a piece of piss, I think it's a joke that they suddenly decided to force you to do it,...

    4. sp00n

      sp00n

      Really love the A10's I always was gunna get one lol, then again I never assembled the f16 electric duct fan … I only got it as I was fed up of cleaning caster oil (or what ever the oil in the fuel was) off my trainer. I know what you mean, I had the application pack for my licence/insurance but had to give up before I took my test :(
