The knowledge can be intimidating, yes, and yes I do have (self) medicated anxiety. There is also a really good reason why I am on this forum and not arnies. The rise and quick nature of social media also plays its part. Also my meme stash is clearly lacking

So eloquent, and I can see the parts. It's the kinda thing you rock with this essex special https://www.airsoftzone.co.uk/tactical-sportswear-gop-tac-multicam-mordor-tac.html

@Tackle, first off you lot (heavily established members of this forum) can be intimidating. There I said it, i'm not the most outgoing person, sure, i'd be the third to admit that 😉, what a number of new users (maybe) is finding their voice amongst you sages (grouches). Indeed, a number times i've read half a thread, formed my thoughts on it only to read those same thoughts on the next comment...it can be frustrating to be last inthe room. I know that a core of us (you) users are sure to welcome everyone that posts in the 'new player' board and that is to be applauded. It could be these comments are just them adding their comment as if it were a FB post and thats how their are easing into the forum. You can be cynical and correct, most of this is just me word vomiting trying to get my post count up, I have some stuff to sell. Rega - damn now im doing it

Mids are required, or low filling hicaps.... It was more the trying not to pack the kitchen sink

This is the debate I am having with myself at the moment for an up coming weekender. It is tough choices all round. As to mids vs hi-caps? I am definitely a bit of both. With my first game back this sunday coming I will be taking 4 hi caps and be expecting the refill at lunch. No I dont care, its been too long. However I have ordered a load of midcaps and I am looking forward to the change and challenge. As someone mentioned hicaps for a dug in defence are fun to keep the attackers heads down.

Two things from this thread, 1. You guys got a cleaning rod with your guns? Damn 2. Shit, i'm supposed to clean my barrel - I mean, one of the reasons I don't/haven't cleaned it is the mentions of it increasing power a little - it has only just got consistent to 346fps (with shooting 355 out of the box, thanks again ** for letting me play). I clean the barrel, there is a chance I turn up with a hot gun to a site they don't know me at with a chance they dont let me play? Nah I'll just throw flavoured bbs at the opposing team

Couple of things Kai; cry is spelt Crye Drop the homoerotic talk, there are many was to insult people without calling on homophobic troupes that make you look like a boomer (sorry boomers).

Whats the make you went for? In other news I have a suitable number of midcaps for a morning of skirmishing and one of these ammo grab bags.

Currently trying to find a WE 'cutluss' or going to settle for the m92L. Not to convert but for play

"Great for transporting tens of thousands of BB’s!! Simply dip your speed loader into it and your good to go!" For me its this^^ WhyTF would anyone store loose bb's in here? i am all for novel uses but this was a forehead slap when i saw this

Yes it looks like the BAC website is compromised, I have sent a message via FB and commented a number of times over the last couple of days after trying to get a few sites signed up. I am still against having to tie myself to a site just to be able to buy a (non-two tone).

It is not the prevalence of weapons that increases use of deadly force in the usa, it is the complete lack of training that many police departments give to de-escalation training, and other issues that I wont point out here due to their political nature.

I now have another show to watch, thank you, I think.

Yes I am new ish to the world of tm recoil, it sits out of my normal budget, I like eating and rent is apparently a thing that I shouldn't miss. So this is a tech that can make tm recoils work with upgrades, capture the magic dust as it were, uh, fair enough. An ad for tm fan bois only then.

Nohttps://prefired.co.uk/ads/tm-m4-cqbr-l192a-longsword/ Am I missing something or is this actually worth it? (No it isn't, even with the £109 million win) Sure all the original bits are there sure there are some select parts involved and the work done by (i'm guessing) reputable techs....but! This looks like a high ball expecting lower end offers. Then consider what the person wants to swap for, it a joke right? So many things wrong when you also consider fps

I did not know they were a matched pair 😮 From a practicality point a split slide and an extended mag for greater gas well and balance...

Given this gun came up on another thread I thought I'd ask for an update, Any wip/pictures?

This is absolutely what I mean, it is a game, one based on 'honour'... I can get from choke point to respawn and back many times before endex is called, I play with more care when lives are in less supply. If we were to play as close to real we would need to do the whole armour protects....which on a skirmish day is a no.

I know it is already a thing and i am looking for other guns to throw on to this thread but long slide 1911's, sure the AMT Hardballer had a conversion kit and you can still get them if you have spare £££ but for your consideration 'The Jackel' give me an airsoft version with a split slide and an extended mag

Tactical Warfare have said they have also got all the paperwork to make hem happy to open.

I have still only been to a couple of different sites, however my views on this are very much influenced by one in particular, i am very aware of this bias and speaks volumes to the way that site was run. Gun hits: They should count or not having a half way house is pay to win ( yes i know this is airsoft). As to the realism of gun hits disabling or what not i didn't learn these rules on a milsim. the next few in my mind are three very different rules; Knife/gun barrel/melee/dildo kills: should be taken quietly, respect the sneaky bastard that got you and die quietly. @Shamal not calling you out ( and i appreciate your posts are normally laced with humor), but making noise on a knife kill is, in my view not true to the spirit of the game. if someone has done the kindness of not popping you from less than a half a meter then i also think this should be respected. The rule always was mentioned as a knife in one hand gun in the other. surrender: this is an odd one for a couple of reasons, first it is very situational and could take an age to explain when and where it should be used in the brief, second, i have surrendered before, doing the sneaky thing and i was out sneaked, wasn't expecting contact so soon, i didn't have rifle anywhere near 'ready' and bumped into a sneak team coming the other way - when i stepped into a small clearing they all look at me and to save getting hosed (i would not have been the fastest draw) i just said 'fuck' and raised my hand taking the death instead of the bb storm that would have come my way. Third if you (@Mad-Al) less than a meter away then surely a surrender should be offered if you have the drop? Newer players (not counting those in /god mode) i feel would accept that. I have also found that it is not the younger ones that moan about close contact shots, they tend to be older/oPeRaToR types, the younger ones wear them with pride. bang: just no. if you are that close just one shot to the center mass will do. This one is back to the paintball days, too many times have i seen (paintball) marshals ask for a marker that has been used for a 'bang' kill an it has come out empty - their response was you cant bang if you cant back it up. @Adolf Hamsterfuck me don't even start on the plates are armor and negate hits, or 'i'm wearing x weight plate it can take y no. hits from z projectile'. this is only something i have heard happening but i if i did hear it or specifically directed towards me (on a skirmish game where no such rule has even been thought of by marshals) i'd mag dump to drown out the whining...

We don't fit the legal requirement of a sport, we dont have a recognised governing body.

Sorry to hear that, hope you can get out soon. My partner has declared that airsoft is not my hobby. No, according to her my hobby is packing, unpacking and repacking my kit bags. Her attack level was set to stun, it did.

Given that we can shoot each other (outside) again real soon, thought I would bump this thread for the Easter weekend activities.
