If only we could make Airsoft as cool as Air Pistol Shooting.
 

No, as my old pews were destroyed by the police in 96 but FaceAche keeps suggesting my ex as someone I might know... does that count?

I thought it might be useful to have a phone mount on my plate carrier so that I can use the Ares Alpha app to see my location, that of the objectives etc. So I got myself a cheap mount from AliExpress that protects the phone and holds it securely in place (in landscape mode) on my chest. I can then simply open it up slightly, see my location on the map and close it again.
 
And then I started testing it:
To unlock my iPhone you swipe up from the bottom, however the mount has a strap over the phone to hold it in place and you can’t do it without sliding the phone out. ❌ Face ID on the iPhone only works if it can see your face but I’ll be wearing a mask. ❌ Ok I enable ‘unlock with Apple Watch’ but the phone will not do it when in landscape mode, only portrait mode ❌ So I enter a passcode but I would have to take off my gloves to do that ❌ When the phone is unlocked I can’t actually see anything as it is too close to my face and I would need to wear my reading glasses to see anything detailed. ❌ But apart from that it really works nicely😂 

You missed one;

What is BB?

Unless you are dead set on an AEG, the WE Apache GBB is a nice bit of kit. All the appropriate bits are metal and three round burst is fun. Kicks a bit though and mags are heavy and limited rounds.

Because you can never have enough US Woodland and ALICE!
 
Greetings from the 55th!
 
I've attached some pictures of our team from the Filmsim event - Red Mist 4: Operation Hirta.
 
Most of the team are running the LBV88 vest along with a standard ALICE belt set-up and US Woodland!
 
Hope you like.
 
Cheers

When I was at university, my housemates girlfriend used to visit on Tuesdays.
 
For bit of fun, I used to do Taco Tuesdays for the house.
 
As she only ever saw me cook Tacos… She assumed I was Mexican…
 
 

Where do you get these from? Asking for a friend...

Your all laughing, but spare a thought for my old manager at FedEx, his parents saddled him with the moniker Dick Swallow, that's some straight up evil/naive shit 🤣

Looking for something simple, and ended up building a "Toon" B24.

If you want reasonably simple, try Flames of war. The older stuff is white metal but the more recent stuff and the "Team Yankee" WW3 stuff is all plastic.

Have you met my mate Wayne Kerr?

Oh no, what will happen to their forum? Oh wait, they drove that into the ground years ago, nevermind.

It's based on a dumb joke.
 
Say my name very fast.

Not much airsoft related news or purchases from me lately but here's some more plastic, glue & paint.

I have had more interesting usernames elsewhere. I was "Paddy" on Techbrigade, ASCUK, UKASC and Arnies, on account of having Irish Roots.
As I got old and boring I just started using an abbreviated "real" name.
I remember a load of guys signed up to ASCUK as a team and were "Wolf Squad Gunnner" "Wolf Squad Sniper" "Wolf Squad Leader" and then pmd the admins for name changes when the team broke up.
I do remember the time HaVoC MaN got himself banned, and we weren't using validation on new users, so he immediately rejoined as Beakersuxcock...
