Honestly as a grown adult who has a mortgage and has seen that payment go from "tm recoil" to "GBLS DAS416" a month courtesy of Truss (elected by the Tory membership) whilst seeing a 14 year slump in my actual take home pay honestly, I love airsoft, but the less the current tory party (who by the way have a very nasty tendency of knee jerk bans and sneaking stuff into legality through "questionable" means) have to do with running the country the happier I am.

Don't be silly, Rishi's kids'll be safely at school in California shortly after the general election.

Using logic does that mean any MP who hasn't served will be debarred from holding their position? I mean all the fascist undertones aside I'm sorta down with that....

To be fair in the last 23 years I've noticed a move away (within the RN anyway) from stereotypical Full Metal Jacket style screaming and what used to be refferred to "character building" type activities to a more modern type of management with an emphasis on translatable skills such as maths, english etc at all levels. Also there's a much greater awareness of neurodiversity and how to work with/enable such individuals with regards to teaching etc. (I've been working in an instructional role for 6 months now and the DTTT/DTC training goes into this in quite a depth.

I suspect this is more symptomatic of what remains of the Tory party throwing policies out and seeing what sticks lest they end up in the queue at the local job centre on the 5th of july. Whether or not there is any intention of actually re-establishing national service is entirely different. Whether or not national service cures all the UK's ills is entirely different BUT if it ends up giving young people some basic life skills and drive rather than the belief that they should be an influencer or hang round stabbing each other or some such shite its probably not a bad thing.......

I'm more entertained by the belief that someone will pay £400 for a 2tone.

No, no "my little Armalite" is most definitely NOT about mosh pits........

I suspect on opening either of the Hi-Capas above you would be greeted by the stench of "monster energy, supreme fanboi'ing and frustration" that accompanies speed-softers.

See I despise the way the 92f looks but love the 1911 and the hipower.

@Crosseyedcat There is a huge MWS thread on this forum

I don't *think* I knew Les but still, my condolences Gasman. I've been through a few things in my life but there's nothing as devastating.

Issue is the TM resident evil guns are usually stupidly priced and limited run.

Oh I'm well aware that TM have no interest in the world outside Japan..... but still I (against my better instincts) hoped.....

I mean tbf..... springer pistol kills are supremely satisfying.

Marui: "here, have one of these instead." Seriously TM, WTAF? TLDR, Marui made another fugly, niche, anime detonics variant and I say this as someone who likes the 1911 platform.

With that said it will be sad to see another of the "old guard" shops go. To be fair to them they do tend to have quirky stuff you'll struggle to find elsewhere in the UK. I've never quite understood how they could maintain a shop that size in London at the relatively low footfall.

If you are lucky enough to have a discount place near you (bicester village, gunwharf quays etc) its worth checking. Just nabbed a pair of under armour valsetz boots for £36 bnib. I admit I was lucky that they had my size in but I have seen Valetz in the gunwharf for well under retail occasionally.

I seem to recall that fairly shortly post VCRA one of the retailers hot caught out by their "frequently bought together" section containing 2tone gnus and black Krylon.

Whilst the moderation on this forum is more relaxed than ASCUK certain recent topics have made me think that maybe there should be a "this is why we can't have nice things" subforum for the more speshul stuff?

UCAP's been running consistant wednesday evening games in the bunker near Portsmouth for years.....

And theres the difference between you and I. I do care about people actively undermining the defense that keeps our hobby viable. You apparently don't give a fuck...... And for what its worth in this thread you've pretty much proved that "if I have to explain this, you still won't understand".

So you've been playing for a decade but are willing to undermine the defense that we only just managed to acquire by the skin of our teeth and a LOT of work by some individuals who at the time were playing, not helped by certain major shops throwing in 2tone etc...... Honestly mate, at this point you're part of the problem. Especially given that I suspect Justcos defense isn't worth the paper its printed on as a lot of the conventions IIRC have a "no realistic guns" thing going on and most of the "bellend with a RIF in public" stories I remember revolve around lackwits on their way to various Comicons.........

Nope, thats pretty much what happened dude. Trust me some of the people commenting on this have been playing for over a decade and paying attention to the legalities. 3 games in no LESS than 56 days Is all you need for UKARA.......

Can we please stop trying to find ways to bypass (the not exactly onerous to acquire) defense we have.... please and thank you.

Given that our beloved PM is apparently on a "ban all the things I don't like" jaunt is there anything in the re-re-rebanning of zombie knives that affects us given that the VCRA had airsoft as collateral damage?
