Wait, you guys aren’t calling it a SOCOM?

What is it with at least 50% of You tubers who insist on calling a MK23 (i.e. 'Mark23') pistol an 'M' 'K' 23?!! It makes me cringe every time! Am I being irrationally intolerant? Probably, but I can't help it - I just want to throw stuff at the screen when they do it, and once you've heard them say it the first time, you can't then unhear it for the next 40 times they mention it in the course of the video....
 
And don't even get me started on the ' Em Kay 18' rifle!

We Makarov?
 
No rail but some creativity could add one.
 
Certainly it can be made accurate, at least as far as anything airsoft can be.

Why not a cooling off period between registering and first post?
Another forum I joined many years ago now verifies email addresses before allowing new users to post.
I remember in the dim.and distant days of moderating UKASC emails had to be "proper" ISP addresses, but now everyone used GMail and Yahoo so it isn't practical banning "pop-ups".

*old man rage intensifies*

Still got that SR-25 for sale bud? 

There's been an influx of 0 post members sending me messages asking if a gun is still for sale, honestly in my inbox, at least 20
 
WHEN IT CLEARLY SAYS ON THE ADVERT IT'S COMPLETED AND SOLD 
 
*mumbles in old and walks off*

Agree, I've banned dozens the over the last week, who knew there were so many witch doctors out there🤣. 
Definitely need something new, spammer signs up & 10 minutes later they've created about 15 absurd threads, it will drive genuine members away if they can't be arsed to trawl through the crap to find the Airsoft stuff. 
Great.....not, to make matters worse they look underage, someone randomly passes through & sees that they'll think it's a nonce forum😬

Well, at least they've moved on from drugs....🙄
 

@Jedi_Master & @proffrink
 
I have been playing whack-a-mole with the spammers for the last couple of days. I've nuked loads, I'm sure the other spam moderators have done the same.
 
Can we lock the ability for new users to create new threads without approval from admin/spam moderator? So they create a new thread - but a admin/spam mod has to approve that thread to show to the wider masses?
 
We would be able to tell pretty quicky if these are legit users, and the 'probationary' period will end if we are satisfied that what they post is appropriate to the forum.

Is that Kicking Mustangs Mum?

I'm gonna go to hell for this. 🥺

Starting to realise why I started playing Airsoft.
 
1. No disembodied insults
2. Fun
3. Many other things because online stuff is shit.
4. I'm getting old and not getting hold of gobshities physical is frustrating.

I bought some new bed sheets which says on the packaging it helps you sleep like a baby and they weren't wrong. 
 
Last night I shit myself and woke up screaming every 3 hours 

Oh, we're pretty experienced with these threads here, and know that there's always another side to the story.

Yes, I am part of the team, and have been since the first day we came up with the grand idea of opening our own shop, from getting the keys, dealing with our first delivery, installing the new till systems to building and organising our first playing site at the checkpoint, to expanding again to include our current cqb site and shop in Treforest. 
 
It seems you do not know Parrot as well as you might think, as I am his wife and answer just as many of our emails, social posts, phone calls etc as he does. I simply choose to stay in the background and not be on the website, also because I was holding down my own career with the NHS when the business first began. 
 
As for the shop owner doing a "one off job", I can assure you he does no such thing. He is more than capable in his own right, however our tech chose to take a step back from technical work due to personal issues back at the beginning of 2022 when the shop had been open for almost a year. We did not resume tech work until we had sourced a reliable, skilled replacement after many requests from customers' returning business, because we do actually care about the services we offer and strive to be the best we can be in an ever expanding arena.
 
Whilst I have also stated that I am by no means an expert in the field, Specna has always come in as a "starter" brand and the lower end of budgets. 
We have used Specna hop units as standard replacements, but when upgrading, there is, as a rule, usually a more robust and reliable option available or simply a higher spec option available. 
 
On a separate note, Many players and customers will have also seen me take up the marshalling reins at our sites recently. I have manned the shop singlehandedly quite a few times at the old shop on Crwys Rd as well as the new shop in Treforest.

Kat answered the email that I sent the company earlier today.

So I will be joining this thread on behalf of Airsoft Cymru.
 
The first point I will absolutely defend to the death, is the use of a specna arms gearbox. We have never and will never use these gearboxes in any products. I have copies of all invoices to prove this as well.
The second point is we were not accepting tech work at the time stated, and we only started accepting new tech work when we contracted out to White Wolf tech and build in may of this year (2023) after many requests to resume this service. 
Thirdly, at no time has any issues of this nature ever been raised with us personally or professionally. 
Fourthly, no tech worth their salt would ever downgrade a gear box when trying to maximise potential (personal opinion on Specna gearboxes from someone who does not profess to be an expert).
Fifth, I would like to thank everyone who contacted us regarding this thread for allowing us the opportunity to defend ourselves. 
 
I am very sorry that this person has not had a good experience with their gun and wish them all the best with RAT. I am also very sorry that it has resulted in unfounded accusations and mild threats on marauder's part and having to resort to us ever having to defend ourselves from what is quite frankly libelous in nature, considering our positive footprint on social media and reviews platforms.
 

A creak on the stairs at 3am is what turns a pacificist into a sudden and passionate advocate for the most unreasonable amount of force possible.

At least they didn't  perpetuate the myth of the "ceramic" pistol that doesn't show up on metal detectors....

A name we will all know and creator of the Iconic handgun.
