      Not sure, I've seen a few sites state in the rules 5m or less, use the bang rule, can't remember if they were UK or US sites I was looking at though.

      Booked in, gonna be going no matter what state the guns are in. Currently M16 is shooting 360 FPS and the L96 is shooting 470-480, bit inconsistent and the hop's not too good, but it'll do for the day.

  2. Can anyone find any good artsy shots of used 5.56 or 9mm shell casings? Still smoking if possible. I'm trying to make a logo for my YouTube channel.

      Well, if you can't find any, I could do you one :) I've got PhotoShop, and I did my own channels one ;)http://www.youtube.com/user/TheShinobiRevolution/feed?filter=2 My banners not great though, it was abit rushed. If I do do one for you, I'll have to do a few others first, as I haven't done many recently, just to get back in the flow ;)

      If it is me, then yeah, that one's pretty sh*t tbh. It took me 3-5 minutes. Just got back off holiday though, so I might do a new one. However, as I pretty much don't do YT anymore, I might not bother.

  3. Who are the OEM for the ASG LMT series?

      Lonex,who are also the OEM of ASG Ultimate upgrade parts line.

       

      The ASG/Lonex LMT series are bloody epic,molested one at aisofteire and could not take my hands off it.

      That's interesting, 'cos I've never seen any guns built by Lonex before, but a guy was bumming them on Reddit yesterday.

       

      I had a fiddle with on at the Arms Fair a couple of years ago and nearly bought one there and then because it felt so solid.

       

      I was just musing over the fact that L129s are made by LMT, so why isn't there an airsoft one yet, when there's an ENTIRE FREAKIN' M4 line! D=

  4. Just finished making a trailer for my YouTube channel. I think I'll probably make a new one every once in a while as I don't think I had the best footage ever available to work with, but lemme know what you think, it ought to be live at around 16:15:

      I liked that food is included in the walk on price and I liked the games. The only things I didn't like were the lack of any proper time set aside for reloading, they would just give the brief in a big open zone away from people's gear, meaning you had to either miss the brief, or rearm during game time, which was shit; and the fact there's no proper place to sort your kit out, you just have to work in, around or out of your car. Which with a group of 5 people and 3 cars, was quit...

    3. Airsoft-Ed

      quite awkward.

      That character limit appears to be the bane of your life? I went earlier in the year to what was my first time, and I thought it was excellent. Interesting to see how someone who has been to several other sites viewed it. I completely agree on the vanishing act, I think we were touching 100 players the day I went and it felt like a ghost town at times...Until you got shot...from literally nowhere!

  6. Anyone at Anzio this Saturday?

  7. 2nd video from yesterday - Glock against the clock:

  9. First airsoft video in 4 weeks! Got another on the way soon too, so keep an eye out! I'll be updating my thread in the "Media" portion of the "Off topic" forums, so come and have a gander. It's L129 time:

  13. Why do so many people feel the need to mount those Aimpoint raised, angle mounts, backwards? =/ So annoying.

      M_P

      Should have the angle facing forward, kind of like an SPR mount.

    3. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      It's like they feel turning the mount around will allow them to get their eye closer to it... Which is just unnecessary.

       

      It looks bloody stupid as well.

    4. M_P

      M_P

      Because people dont realise that having an aimpoint further forward is more beneficial than having it close most likely.

  14. Anyone going to be at Anzio on the 3rd August? I shall be making my first ever trip over. I have incredibly high hopes, so I hope none of my gear randomly explodes whilst I'm playing at my regular site tomorrow...

      it's a good site mate but if i am honest not worth the money F&O make you for it.

    3. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      £35 for a day doesn't seem too bad tbh, The Stan was the same for non-members and that was nothing close to the size of Anzio and I still thought for the action you got it was good value for money. The Asylum in Kidderminster was the same price too I think, really enjoyed that trip.

       

      Though I guess when you consider it's £15 more than my usual day's woodland skirmishing, it is quite an extreme price hike... It's definitely not something I'd be able to...

    4. Qlimax

      Qlimax

      well it used to be £30 to play their but they put the price up as from what i have heard they are loosing it soon so rinsing every penny they can get out of the place

  15. Off to visit Patrol Base. With no money. Sad times =[ Though, it's nice to gawk at the shiny guns on the wall and fantasise about owning them... Then I'm going to the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds, to do it all over again! Not been since I was about 13 or something, so should be interesting. Gun nerd mode, ACTIVATE!

      Dont get the black ones. I get 20+fps extra reading on the chronos for some reason with them. Never in my life has my TM spas been 310fps

      I had similar things happen to my old VSR using G&G BBs. Better tolerances mean better air sea with the barrel or something?

      Damn, missed all of these posts before I set off.

       

      I had a go with an FMG9 though, and my mate George went in for some tan Krylon, and walked out with a Dan Wesson, 4" chrome lol.

       

      Wish I'd seen the MP5 =[

  17. Trying to organise all my pouches and kit to fit on my belt and rig, and it just won't all fit. It's really starting to annoy me.

      one solution, eat more pies = get fatter = larger waist = more pouches will fit! :)

    3. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      if you can't fit it all on an osprey and a belt you're carrying too much!

    4. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      It's not that there isn't space, it's more that the Osprey blocks the belt if I have the cummerbunds attached, but if I don't have the attached, I can't carry what I need to on my rig.

       

      So I either dump the belt and go back to how I had it before, or make do with two mags. Which I just can't do.

       

      It's a pain.

  18. I'm sure it must be more comfortable inside an active volcano than it is in my house/garden right now...

  19. Does anyone know of any UK shops that sell LayLax Nineball Purple VSR buckings? I can't find any anywhere, apart from Fire-Support where they're out of stock.

      Managed to find one in stock at Wolfarmouries, just took about 5 years of scrolling because their search engine is about as useless as a dead pigeon.

      I know, them and Zero One I only buy anything from if no where else has it.

  20. 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.

  21. I don't care if the chrono doesn't work! ...Well actually I do... The range on my sniper now... Holy hell. S'got to be at least 90m. Starting to wonder what the point in R-hop is, since I had to use the stock bucking... Only conclusion is that it's got to be waaaaayyy over 500fps! Any ideas?

      I'm not using a patch... Didn't you read my first post?

    3. Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies

      Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies

      Man I feel dumb,sorry about that. I thought you were still battling with R hop,so I'm guessing you have a dead rubber.

    4. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      Yeah... Though on the plus side, that ought to make it easier to try the R-hop patches again, as you said lol. I just need to get some high grain sand paper to make it fit better, upgrade the spring guide stopper and I think I'm golden.

  22. Nearly reported one of my own comments on a PM thread because the button's in the same place as "Back to top" on regular threads... Fail lol.

      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.
