No trades and the wrong stock? What's the deal with that? Is it WE? I've got it in my head that it's VFC... But I'm guessing it isn't. Plus, I imagine WE would be a better choice for a GBBR.

I'd say that sounds about right going by the compactness of it. My Osprey with about 12 Emags, 2 pistol mags, radio, PTT and Camelbak is about double that at 25ish lbs.

Mark Tremonti in Manchester on the 17th, anyone going?

TM Recoil M4 owners - Will G&P externals fit your rifles? Someone's telling me they have real steel dimensions so G&P won't fit, but I thought G&P was real steel dimensions... Anyone have any input?
-
Thought as much, cheers.
-
Do they fit any Serpa at all? Or do you have to buy the holster with that mount all as one piece?

Got a mark back from my first Uni piece of the year. 52/100 - 40 being the pass mark. I literally made it all up and copied the lecturer's references... Someone who actually tried and did it properly got 35/100. Is the system broken beyond repair. Or what?

Seriously though, I didn't cite any sources or anything, I just copy and pasted the references from a lecture and only used the slides from that same lecture, to gain an understand for and write 2000 words for the assignment.
I couldn't have tried any less if I'd wanted to without simply not submitting anything.
Whereas the other person who got 35, used proper references and citations, actually read up on the subject and actually put effort into it...

I would consider myself a smart guy, but not in the way that would allow me to just breeze something like this.
My type of intelligence is more geared towards figuring people out and taking special considerations into account for given situations, being naturally observant and stuff like that.
I've still never even taken a book out of the Uni library. How I passed by 12 marks is an absolute miracle.

Some people just have a good level of common sense and some don't. I've worked with many students who think they're dead smart but don't have an ounce of common sense and it makes them come across very dumb. I never did the college/uni thing but still ended up in a job where people studied for years just to get something like this, so common sense does count for something. So i'd have to say that you've got very good common sense mate!

Mrs Nutster! Love it!

I'm with Ian. I like Glocks, but those sights... and the blue. No.

Back at Uni today... Fook Mah Lyfe.

With what I know of your climate, being generally colder than ours, you're probably better off pretending gas guns of any kind don't exist lol. Good luck with it though, I'm sure a few people on here will do what they can to support you. Edit: Having now read it, I've got to say that those percentile figures at the start have got to be made up, no? Gas guns make up 90% of the market? With 30-40% being gas blow backs? I get that you're trying to sell it as a profitable alteration, but that's just not the case. Perhaps you assume everywhere else uses gas guns a lot because they're legal here? The truth is about 10% of all the airsofters in the UK use gas rifles, probably less than that in fact, around half probably have some sort of gas pistol as a back up or a sidearm, but through the winter period they're largely useless and only very few people use them enough for anyone to really need to own one. What about AEGs and spring snipers? I'd have said AEGs made up at least 70% of the market, probably closer to 90% or even higher. With spring snipers, gas rifles and general GBB pistols all being a part of the remaining figure. I think of it as AEGs being something that just about everyone will have, then a few people will ALSO have gas rifles/pistols/spring snipers to cope with colder/warmer weather, or mix up the play style a bit. Sure you're missing out by not having gas guns, but once you've got them you'll probably find no one will ever use them anyway if you're all used to using CO2 alternatives. CO2 is largely banned over here because it's far more powerful, for you lot to make the transition from CO2 to green gas is going to be like someone used to firing a .22LR Rimfire rifle having to make the shift to a sub 12ft/lb break-barrel air rifle with reliability problems. But, I still wish you luck with the campaign.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Airsoft-Ed replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I didn't buy it Craig, that's why lol. Got it for swaps. But yes, I do have a second one. And yes, I'm very excited about it! It seems different to mine, appears to use a pre-cocking mech that mine doesn't have. Haven't had the chance to autopsy it yet, but I'll be interested to find out what the crack is with it, can't understand how it's shooting quicker than mine on the trigger. It's literally impossible to jam it the response is so good. -
Gaz that 416 is immense! Seriously loving the "used" look.
-
The scratches are more apparent on the closeups lol, looked ace on the first photo though. Liking the hip rig though.
-
Is that a filed down receiver, or was it paint-free from the off? Looks surprisingly good.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Airsoft-Ed replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I've decided to stick with mine, the gun sounds so unusually loud to me with the standard piston fitted that it sounds like it's damaging itself lol. What's it going in when it arrives? Be sure to get the AoE right when you fit it using the spacers provided, or you could end up shafting it, your piston and your cylinder head. Mine just went right in without needing to adjust anything though, but it's worth bearing in mind. -

I have just bought some L85 goodness. Firstly I've got a new air nozzle to replace mine which cracked. 2 6.01 x 509mm tight bore barrels for both my new and old ICS L85s Various hop up rubbers, Prommy hard, Systema standard, Madbull Blue and Shark 3 more Emags - 1 to replace the one I broke recently and just another 2 because I can Annnnddd a Systema M100 spring. Hopefully both L85s will chrono around 350 or less on the bottom tension setting, otherwise I may have a problem. Time to sit on a street corner with a guitar and a dog... -
Planning a crazy walk tomorrow to make up for the lack of airsofting. 16 miles in total, in the snow, hilly as fook terrain with a pub lunch in the middle. I'm almost glad I couldn't go airsofting
-
Bloody snow means I can't get to my site on Sunday to play in the snow! Possibly the shittiest paradoxical situation ever.
-
Ebay Joe. Only annoying thing is that they don't have velcro backing D=
-
We're going to look like a pair of total badasses on Sunday. If you can get us there, then my dad can get us back btw (Y)
-
Look like I'm getting a 3 month old ICS L85 in swaps for my M4 project. WIN!
-
Fair enough. I guess it's one of those paradoxical things. You're in the forces but don't want to look it on the skirmish field. I'm not in the forces, but do want to look it on the skirmish field. This girl that came to take photos last time I went out was convinced I was either current or ex-forces. Also thought I was at least 26! Don't know whether to be flattered or bewildered haha.
