  1. I just see too many people "upgrade" their TMs to want one. Edited to put "" around upgrade as they usually fuck it up.
  2. Yea I know what you mean I just think it unlikely the Depot marshalls would actually do something in a game that doesn't give them prime shooting time vs doing some math being bored. Always botheres me they get to run around and do what they want instead of actually watching for hit taking etc. Similar to the hostile VIP just taking out 5 of you guarding him because he's bored and fancys shooting his gun for a bit. Or walking at a snails pace constantly asking where to go VS running at felt pelt back to the enemy team so he can be with his mates. I think medic / spawn systems need a way of accoutability i.e you hand over a token or something to resapwn or a marshal sends you out every minute so you might get back and spawn in 5 seconds or if your unlucky 50 seconds.
  3. Some thing off about what you said don't you mean a 3rd marshal team who get to respawn when and where they want and rain down hell on the other 2 teams who paid to play airsoft? Wouldn't be much fun for a marshal to marshal a spawn now would it. Only thing I wish my local did was use bandages/tourniquet to measure lives as it's far too easy for people to keep get revived endlessly which isn't necessary a bad thing but if others are taking their medic then respawning and others aren't it makes it very unfair to gain ground. Honestly they should just make the waiting 2 minutes optional as a majority of people don't follow it and it's very frustrating.
  4. no issues I know about. The 2020 version has a new mosfet and Dave is right it can be put in to the older evos as well. Gears are the hot issue with evos.
  5. Scorpion evo 2018 smg. I wanted out of the box performance and aside from the gears being awful I would do it again and again. Reason I haven't got another AEG is I just can't justify them as I struggle to find anything that would work as well as the Evo.
  6. I want all multiglam plate carrier players banned. They are wearing protection to intentionally not feel hits. Plate carriers are for serious operators only not for airsoft use. Nobody needs more than a springer and a dream. Arse holes exist in all airsoft groups and singling people out for not using specific equipment is also a dick move.
  7. Showed this to boss man at Depot one day I was there sweeping bbs for a free game day. He said he wouldn't allow it on site based on the binary trigger. Also FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU didn't remember this thread thought this was some new gun I hadn't seen before.
  8. no one needs convincing to buy an evo they need convinced to buy something else. Evo would fit the bill nicely I must agree. I will offer an alternative as if you really want to break it down this gun is for you.
  9. It's exactly why police need to be able to shoot someone with a RIF doing a stupid thing. Sure it might be 100% yellow but it should never be in public view let alone in your hands pointed at someone outside of an airsoft game. Stupid prizes is the only way to allow people to own them and also keep people safe. Yea and I think they handled this situation as best they could. I don't think the law in this instance needed changed unless it could of prevented the kid from having a IF in the first place. Yea you are right they didn't commit any crimes at all but maybe that is a problem? It's tough because you can always argue private properly to public viability isn't under your control. But I shut my blinds before I clean my RIFs. Should I have to? You are right that the police should be commended for doing a routine check and not blowing it up to be anything more than that. I don't think the kid should of had one in the first place maybe if he was allowed to use it supervised and it was locked away like a real gun at other times. The full blame for this goes on the mother but perhaps even IFs should be harder to get a hold of to prevent this type of thing. The real question is was he wearing eye protection? It frustrates me even going to to lock down seeing people saying they wanted to find a way around ukara to get their RIF. I have no idea why mine have been an absolute waste of space and money for me over the past 4 months because I can't use them for anything. I just think people need to treat mannequins with a bit more love and care they have feelings too.
  10. I would argue they don't need to know about airsoft guns to to be able to identify it's not a "real" gun. Like saying only a doctor can detect a mannequin isn't a living human being. The doctor probably doesn't know how to build a mannequin or lube it........ Now it would be nice if they could be as sad as us and pick out the high cap winding wheel on the mag at 20 feet away but as it stands I am happy for police to treat them as real guns until they can closely inspect them with the suspect detained. It will unfortunately result in someone getting shot eventually over a toy as if you point it at an officer I wouldn't expect them to know it's not real in a life or death situation but is it really going to be the polices fault? Everyone with a brain should treat a RIF or IF as if it were the real deal outside of airsoft game days. Being caught with it in public certainly you get treated and prosecuted as such. I think people in the airsoft community generally have a good respect for them and the issues / news articles we see are the "plinkers" we see loads of posts asking what is the best "plinker" how do they upgrade it to take METAL balls etc etc. All of these people are a big problem and shouldn't be using airsoft guns for this as because they know it's not "real" they get too relaxed with them.
  11. Ugh yes obviously it's a race issue here. They would of just sent a polite letter asking if it was a real or fake gun if it was a white family. I am fed up of everything being a race issue. This seems an entirely proportionate response to a firearms call in. If people want RIFs and IFs they need to not be stupid with them or expect this to happen to you. Kid had the gun in view of the public which should never happen and is why kids shouldn't be allowed them. Parents fault not the kids as it sounds like they knew he had it from the article. People act like the police were just raiding the house for fun they did their job. My dad was very clear with me when I was a kid about an air pistol. Where I could take it. What I could shoot you can also bet I was a kid and didn't follow it exactly so he dismantled it and put it in a draw. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. As for the police not knowing what two tone is. I bet a lot don't and have no idea what airsoft is either and that is fine with me as I won't be running around a shopping centre with my two tone assault rifle screaming "IT'S ONLY A TOY" as that is asking for a Darwin award.
  12. When I built a racing quad it was XT60 I used but it's slighty bigger than a deans so could cause fitment issues inside guns over deans. I don't like deans because the exposed connectors always give me the fear.
  13. If anything it attracts the right people to you as they will see you are new and try to help you out. I had a lot more people make idle chit chat when I was in jeans and a tshirt then I get now. Hell it took a while for Roger to realise it was me after I put camo on. Equally just because someone is in camo don't assume they know what they are doing. We had a guy at my site who would love to play soldier and boss people about. If someone wants you to push a direction consider why they aren't doing it themselves if it's such a good idea. There is a fine line between helping a new player and using them as bait. If they are gathering a group up to do something probably fine to follow along. I've spent games defending with hehaw to do and then spent games just roaming for kills.
  14. I have never had any issues but I don't overload it pretty standard loadout. Trousers stay up belt stays attached. I use 2 pisol mags, holster, dump pouch and my trmr. I have a chest rig for my radio, and rifle magazines. My friend only runs this belt and he has his odin speedload, 4 AEG m4 mags, 2 gas pistol mags and a multishot trmr. His holster is drop leg so can't really count that as pulling on it. They sell shoulder straps which if you wanted to really load a belt up with no other load bearing you should be using but he hasn't got them yet and hasn't had an issue. What size did you order and roughly if you don't mind me asking whats your dress size? The one from FRV seems to have sizing more bespoke but for that price I agree you don't molle that part up as that is where my rifle sits when slung. If this was out when I ordered my belt I would of give it a go for sure.
  15. I love inner/outer belts as they don't ride up but they aren't cheap but they are sturdy. UK company sell some https://frvtailoring.co.uk/collections/shooters-belt
  16. Hmmm the reason I can't be arsed trying anything else is because my dye is so good. But Roger is right ventalation is the only way to go if you want to use something else. The inherint problem with low profile eye protection is less air between your eyes and the lenses.
  17. I get very anxious about all sorts of things that I know I shouldn't but that doesn't help. I was lucky that I knew a few people that played and they just kept my right on my first day. After that first day however they don't play very often and I wanted more so I went on my own. I've met 3 or 4 people from this forum at my local site now and played with and against them ( how many TRMRs does one man need?!?). They are all very nice and helpful. Just show up early watch where people go and do the same. Listen to what site staff say they will keep you right. If your unsure about something just ask them for clarrification instead of getting anxious about it. Same goes for any worries in your head right now just email the site if you have any questions or worries and they will probably clear them up for you. It's not like a school where people are trying to make fun of each other to put people down. Everyone is there to shoot at each other and will shoot you the same in camo or a superhero costume. If you are worried about your gun failing you just spend the extra get a rental package so you have a backup to use should yours not perform on the day. There is a rule that 1 is none and 2 is 1 but most airsofters think they need a full armoury. If you do this and you have any issues with the rental gun speak to a marshal if they don't resolve it ask to speak to the head marashall. You paid for a working rental gun and your expereince will very much be effected by something jamming or not feeding. You just need to be logical about the cause for the aniexty and try to even write them down. The more you understand them the more you can do to resolve them. So if your worried about what your are wearing then me telling you no one cares isn't going to help much but you could get some surplus kit and "blend in". It won't make a difference to what people think but if it helps you then there is no harm. Don't spend too much on this kit despite what people say you will still rip it on a fence or tree branch or something eventually so don't spend crazy money. https://www.militarykit.com/products/british-army-mtp-warm-weather-combat-trousers-used?variant=7333532270650 https://www.militarykit.com/products/british-army-pcs-mtp-ubacs-shirt-olive-used?variant=23685220630586 Another thing to keep in mind is that while not everyone says they have aniexty almost everyone does so there is no shame in it. Often you find people who appear to have none have the most.
  18. You can show up with friends but you will lose each other pretty quickly. I've been on my own and I organise days for people to go. I would never go to not my local on my own just because I cba travelling far without someone in the car to talk to. It shouldn't be a factor to going and playing. I just tell people I know who play if I have booked to go on a date sometimes I end up alone but it's still fun. For being a sniper as a beginner most of the decent fields won't even let you snipe as a first timer to their field let alone first timer to airsoft. You have a lot more responsibility with a minimum engagement to worry about.
  19. Here is the real secret we all look silly because we are playing with toy guns and dressing up and all we get at the end of it is looking like we were in a horny ladies bingo night.
  20. This one asain guy did it to me. I call hit as he did hit me (many times) and wait for a medic but then he peaks out the same bit of cover and does the same thing hits me again with like another 3-4 bbs. I yell at him to try aiming, he yells back he is.... He does it again I yell something else but I forget I'm pretty pissed off at this point with like about 10 new welts on me. Then I see a team mate creeping up on him but his friend (who is already dead) whispers to him that he is being flanked. I've had enough at this point torch on run up get their numbers and report them both for over shooting and talking while dead to probably the scariest marshal apart from big boss himself. He was just poping out and covering an arc with bbs then going back in cover repeatedly. Must of been 20-30 bbs each time.
  21. pyramex dual pane are the best for the money. pair them with some revision antifog wipes and you have as good as you get for that money. I've never fogged my i5 and it protects my ears, lower face and eyes and only uses 1 strap.
  22. is that a clip in protector?
