  1. After exactly five weeks, my Novritsch order is finally with me.

      @Cr0-Magnonahh, that makes more sense, how long was it of those 5 weeks that it was held in office? (if you know)

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      Collected from Novritsch 10/02. It was with Border Force from 14/02 - 03/03. They then sent the release confirmation and it's taken UPS from then until now to clear and deliver.

      doesn't sound too bad with the five weeks part now that you put it like that to be honest

  2. Once again I would like to remind people not to drink and buy....

      On a completely unrelated note, I can recommend both:

      Looks like someone is about to get an extra-judicial visit from their friendly neighbourhood Gunforcers to get their Thinking Checkes.

  3. I would like to thank the makers of the Spitfire & Bifrost tracers. Your products make locating players who use them in daytime woodland skirmishes, quick and easy.

      They are great outdoors, for the players on the other side.  I came up against one for the first time a few weeks ago; a really well hidden player with a nice flashing light each time he shot.

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @colinjallen - Yeah, it was either someone using a spitfire in completely the wrong environment or he'd mounted one of these on his gun, right?

  5. Why isn't there a Hi-Point airsoft replica 🤔

      I'd totally have a springer one.

    3. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      At $179 for a CF-380, could it be the first airsoft replica to cost more than the real-plastic?

       

      Of course, everybody would want a Yeet Cannon.

       

      Sort of do want.

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Rogerborg - Even more of a case for it being spring powered!

       

      Surely some of these Glocks are approaching RS price or higher. Especially like if with the GHK one, the mags are £40+.

  6. It's taken me a long time to realise but as the great @Rogerborgonce said, all Airsoft guns do the same thing. Some a bit more reliably, some a bit quicker or a bit further but most just fine.

      Come on who doesn’t get Jesus with a short chambered Martini-Henry in .45 caliber ! 😇

  7. Only put it through one skirmish (which is one skirmish more than most youtube reviewers!) but so far very pleased with my XTC-G1 MS Aster. Not cheap or easy to find but solidly built, quiet/sounds perfectly shimmed out of the box, as well being jam packed with quality parts - including my favourite mosfet!

  8. Had a stinking cold all weekend and in my boredom watched one of the recent Novritsch videos. Yikes, shooting a kid with 1.8J and 0.46g's from 3 - 4 metres and showing himself doing the definition of blind firing....

      Never been a ‘fanboy’ of Novichok but in the beginning his vids where entertaining but now ? He’s gone the same way as every other Airsoft ‘superstar’ , after a period of time they all seem to turn in to wankers once they’ve been treated like a Demi-god by hordes of pimply faced pre-pubescent crotch goblins for long enough .

  9. Just tried to get through to Patrol Base on the phone and quickly hung up after hearing "You are currently caller number eleven in the queue".....

     

    In other news, I'm excited to finally be trying Driver Wood this Sunday!

      They're probably out making TikToks.

  10. Am I the only person who doesn't get the "HK slap" obsession? How many AEG's have been broken by this pointless maneuver 🤨

    I wouldn't even do it on a GBBR.

      Looks smoother in that gif, than when a ham fisted airsofter wildly smacks his Taiwanese toy.

      I feel like the airsoft version is much more 'HK snap' than it is 'HK slap'. Yes I'm aware how shit that 'joke' is, and no, I'm not ashamed.

  11. Always read the item description VERY carefully 😉

      Z Nation is my guilty zombie pleasure.  Completely daft, increasingly silly, but they always tried for something fresh.

       

      Missy Pyle in the "RoZwell" episode about Area 51 zombie aliens (played by Doug Jones!)  was sheer joy.

       

      And then it gave us Black Summer which was almost the exact opposite, super intense and serious, it actually put the horror back into survival.

       

      I can forgive it a lot, even Elite Force.

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Rogerborg - I'm surprised anyone else has really heard of it, let alone watched it. Definitely some interesting concepts in with the silliness too. I can't recall another film or series which had a character become a zombie whisperer.

      Although as I said to my friend, you know a series has "jumped the shark" when Henry Rollins shows up. It was the same with Sons of Anarchy!

      @Rogerborg Is Black Summer worth sticking with?  I tried it and managed to get a couple episodes into season 1 but I found it to be pretty terrible.

  13. "Just because you wasted three mags on me, doesn't mean you hit me"

     

    From a recent Dutch the Hooligan video and a line I'm going to have to start using!

      @Steveocee - I genuinely wish that was the case but doesn't seem like people are much interested in that. The airsoft videos which seem to pull the biggest numbers on youtube, are drama in a game and those which spend thousands on mystery boxes.

       

      Case in point, this video:

      4.2 million views of a small kid getting hurt and likely never wanting to ever play our sport again. This disappoints me on so many levels.

  14. If I open an iwholesale account and make a website, then never actually communicate with my customers, can I call myself an airsoft shop? Seems to work for many!

      Sounds about right , does seem the larger and more well known the retailer gets the less they care about there customers ?

  15. Anyone need a GBBR? I'm thinking £300 posted seems fair.

      @Rogerborg - You don't have a licence? No problem, just promise not to take it to any of the posh supermarkets.

      @strykerles - For an extra £150 I'll include a bottle of 0.12g bulldog BB's and half a can of Calor gas.

    3. strykerles

      @Cr0-Magnon that's a bargain, are they yellow bbs?

      Can you clarify if Sainsbury is a posh supermarket, or does it just keep the scum out of Waitrose?

  16. Gonna wear my (just don't give) AFUK hat tomorrow. If anyone asks me my username, I'm going to tell them it's @Rogerborg and act like an arsehole all day.

      Just wish the P-09 was Battleship Grey like the Scorpion. I do very much like both of these for form and function though.

      Nice if they matched, but they both look bloody good.  The tan pistol has really clean lines.

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      Haha yeah, just me being fussy but that's what I'm talking about -the pistol isn't tan, it's "urban grey"

  19. Can anybody recommend a site in the South East with walk-on spots this weekend?

      @Cr0-Magnon figured as much. Sites have been fully booked up very quickly since the heatwave started. Hit us up if you end up going to Absolute. 5AM start for me to get to Al's for 7AM!

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Asomodai - That's very much appreciated. Yeah my local site when from "just turn up" a few weeks ago to fully booked last night.

      Cr0-Magnon

      @MistakenMexican - I know this more than most. I often see people trying to sell custom Hi Capa's for £500 or more and think "if I was going to sink that much in to one, I'd just go to Mike Cripps"....for all I know a private seller has built one through trial and error and not feeling 100% warm and toasty about the end result.

    3. MistakenMexican

      MistakenMexican

      Indeed, I've had to swallow a bit pill recently. 

      I've got a bunch of rare pistols that just wont sell for the 70% formula... and it's not because people don't want them or they don't work... it's because people don't have £400 lying around to buy a second hand pistol.

    4. Impulse

      Impulse

      I always upgrade all my pistols to shoot as well as I can make them, but I tend to use them a lot because bolt actions and MEDs. It's totally worth it for me to spend £250 on a TM pistol with all the bells and whistles because I need it to perform.

       

      So it's definitely worth a lot to me, however selling them second hand... I'd 100% agree. Having upgraded all my pistols, I know it really isn't that expensive to make them shoot well with all the things :P

  21. (97mm) ZCI or Marui inner barrel for my G19X? I already have both but the colour of the Marui barrel goes with the tan/bronze scheme better.

    1. Lozart

      Lozart

      Sounds like you've answered your own question there...

  22. Grrr.....seller sent the wrong thread protector. Be honest, does this look awful?

      @Druid799 - I do like a flat trigger!

  23. So this is what about £600 in a Glock build gets you. Which I don't feel great about but hey, kinda past the point of no return, so just gonna have fun with it.

      Very slick. If I can get my hands on a second hand TM G19, I'll probably build something similar.
