Swap scuffed TM XDM.45 for that Guarder Glock?

Haha, blimey...forgot I even posted this. Worrying.

Haha. I was just reaching for me purse until I read the last line.

@Shamal - It's OK, I'll look after you.

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.

@Asomodai  - Yeah, definitely "out in the sticks" but well worth the 45- 50 minute drive (each way) for me. Made a bit easier too as Negative Airsoft have just upgraded an AEG and pistol for me, so they were waiting at chrono upon my arrival 😁

Did he make a video on them? @Cr0-Magnon also battle lakes is great

@Lasbrisas17 - My pistol he did:

I wasn't sure about the purple grip when I saw it in the vid but it's darker in person and I really like it. Plus it's very snappy, you can really tell the difference between this and a GBBP with cheap pot metal slide.

@alxndrhll - Not fishing, think of me as more of a Pied Piper figure!

@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.

@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?

My main income for the past 14 years has been Airsoft . It pays all my bills and pays for my holidays . And no I'm most certainly not a youtuber lol. No playing Airsoft isn't the everyday task of my job now although that used to be a larger portion of it once . It is however still a part of my job to attend events as a player . Would I consider it a profession? Probably not but it does fulfill the criteria but to me it's just work and has been for so long that there is nothing special to it now

Im with @Cr0-Magnon here, unless you are sponsored or paid to play as a full time airsofter its not a profession, the definitions make sense but being a decent footballer doesnt make you a professional, playing for a team full time does. All non league players have a 'profession' outside of football and want to become a professional baller so its a bit ambiguous. 

Airsoft youtubers are that, they are professional youtubers/content makers not professional players, hell most players would argue the top youtubers dont really play in the spirit thats intended with the game but thats a whole different convo lol.

I would be interested to hear what 1st commando does/did. I get being involved in airsoft could be a profession but again being a professional airsoft "player", nah... unless someone can convince me otherwise.

The money for professional boxers, footballers, tennis players etc comes from the audience whether through ticket sales or via TV views/sales.  

Same with YT airsofters?  No ones paid to play sport, act etc in private.  

hehe I don't hang around 🙂 Let us all know how it get's on with ZCI parts

@ak2m4 - Think I may have ordered the wrong length barrel but we'll see.

@ak2m4 - Parts arrived today and couldn't have been simpler to install. All I can say is it feeds well. Excited to see how it performs with 60 degree maple leaf bucking and omega nub. The stock setup it was a bit lack luster on 0.28g's but with it getting dark so early now I may have to wait for the weekend.

Cheers. Will check it out. By walk-on I meant not a rental.

@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!

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

Usually in my ear.

Non-consensual aural is the worst.

AND ? 😉

...and nothing. Our ancestors worked hard to get us to this point. The least we can do is enjoy it!

you looked at Taiwan and / or Japan yet?

@ak2m4 - Yeah, about & £325 plus the strong possibility of customs & duty etc. Think I'll just hold tight until more stock hits our shores.

@Cr0-Magnon crwairsoft in HK another option I believe, but yeah with all the turmoil maybe best to wait.  

Did Proff sort you out? Or did you manage it yourself?

@L3wisD - If he did do something nobody told me. I clicked the request password link and it actually worked this time.

My response was humerous, so i guess a witty retort would be most appropriate

gas efficiency, cooldown in both semi and full auto.

Maximum and effective Range, groupings (same bbs of course).

Honestly though I'd like to see a comparison between two stock guns, rather than stock X vs fully upgraded Y (X and Y being of different brands)

That works too 😉

(Did you see my PM?)

Looks ok to me but even if it’s not to your taste that poncy looking red trigger distracts very nicely ! 🤣

@Druid799 - I do like a flat trigger!

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 .

Novritsch did WHAT!?

@GeorgePlaysAirsoft - Thought you may pop up to re-use your favourite picture 👍

That one got a bit spicy, eh.

If Ace Combat was the only site within travelling distance of me, i would either give up airsoft or move. 

Never say never 😉

When I burn out, I go somewhere new on my own for a session. I'll either have a great time and it will re-ignite me or I'll see that what I already have nearby isn't actually as bad so will re-ignite to go back.

I used to very much identify as an "airsoft sniper" covid did me a solid and I got into Hi Capa builds and it's been an ongoing "ism" since.

Sadly I too like you am one of the single figure % who play airsoft and aren't autistic though so game days with other airsofters are still challenging, that's why I pick who I go with carefully so I have a relaxed time - not neccessarily then "day to end all days" every time.

I only burnt out (and haven't happened since) when I played way too much and not leaving any gap between two games. Also, it's not really a good thing to rely on only one hobby. Not saying you do but lot of people fail to see that you need other activities which isn't related to airsoft at all.

Also, it's absolutely crucial to shop around regarding sites and switch it up a bit if you can. Like playing indoor for a while instead of outdoor all year long. I play indoor only but even I have to go around at least between 3-4 sites and I look for new ones all the time.

Changing guns and changing play style (like using a dmr or a pistol or shotgun instead of an AEG) can actually make a difference because you have to force yourself to adapt either because you have to keep distance or you don't have the luxury of "range". Basically anything to spice it up instead of being stale.

If you don't enjoy it anymore don't force it though. 💀

tempting

Specsavers do my revision inserts for about £70, £250 sounds incredibly high.
