  1. Always read the item description VERY carefully ?

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

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

  2. You've got a few now, is it the recoil element which attracts you or Marui quality?
  3. You getting one?
  4. Just in case you didn't know, the Secret Service rely on Elite Force Airsoft guns to protect the President?

      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.

      @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.

  5. It's not a new concept, so the idea itself isn't that appealing. However if you were to create one with attractive parameters, then I'm sure a few on here would drop the cash on an impulse - airsofters always enjoy a bit of that action ?

    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.

  7. This thread is really making me want to keep my 4.3 and put all these bits on it but £170 for a frame and £200 for a grip! ? I've also just picked up a Gold Match and very tempted to send it to Mike Cripps, so he can fit a black AM Limcat slide with Gold enameling etc. How much would that negatively impact the cooldown side of things though?
  8. 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 ?

  9. I've also experienced the terrible customer service provided by the Novritsch team. They immediately blamed me for a part failing. This is how it should be done. I ordered 4 x bags of BB's and 2 x Lipos from 308sniper.co.uk on a next day service. Only one bag of BB's and one battery was delivered today. Within two hours of my initial email reprting the issue, I received this:
  10. Anyone need a GBBR? I'm thinking £300 posted seems fair.

      @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?

  11. I've noticed something about those 4.3 Limcat slides which is going to bother me. They have 9mm markings and my Guarder outer barrel .45. Does anyone make an outer barrel with 9mm markings?
  12. I'm not sure if this is an old design or one that's coming soon but I like it a lot. I think it'd go well with the dual Stainless chassis and I already have an STI grip on order.
  13. Seeing as this is basically a Hi Capa build thread now....has anyone done something interesting with a 4.3? Just bought a 4.3 Dual Stainless but starting to regret it as there doesn't seem that many slide options. So looking for inspiration.
  14. I quite like the top half but the two halves don't blend as nicely as the AAP. From what I've seen the most accurate (to real steal) version will be the one with a 1911 lower, however that should also be the worst performer. Using an antiquated hop system is just an inexcusable cost cutting measure.
  15. I don't actually like adding things to this thread, especially those from this site. However I did have to laugh at "top of the range" when silver is the same price as any of the other colour options. Also £131.94 delivered from Patrol Base (it's actually the only colour they have in stock) or £121.50 second hand....
  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.

      @Shamal - Damn, hadn't thought about that. I don't even have a sporran to keep my BB's in. I would have said I was you but I don't have enough Dad jokes in my repertoire for it to believable ?

      Wow, what did I do to deserve that?

       

      I mean, other than acting like an arsehole all day, every day.

  17. After the vile vitriolic attacks these magnificent creations have suffered today, it's with a heavy heart I feel the need to post this....

      @Shamal - Which colour is your leg, FDE or Battleship Grey?

      let this be a lesson kids- this is what happens when you try to extract sympathy from the internet.

      @Cr0-Magnonhaha. Well at the moment neither. It's black and blue due to a tumble off the scaffold today!☹

  18. I'd change a hop bucking on site but I wouldn't open a gearbox....OK maybe if Luke was sat next to me.
  19. This has turned in to "which sling setup are you using at the moment?" But "lack of distance" for an Evo ? I have a stock one and there's a stretch of field at my local site where I can max out the range from a particular line, hitting some black netting without really "lobbing" the BB's. So I am tempted to pickup a range finder and check the distance.
  20. Totally this. Most of my collection is SMG's (incl' 2 x Evo's). I don't have a range finder but I know for a fact that a stock Evo outranges many much longer AEG's. I also love folding the stock and throwing it behind me on the two point sling, enabling me to freely use my pistol.
  21. I have been skirmishing for five years and one thing I could never understand, is how people managed just using mid-caps. I had always gone in the opposite direction and still have drum mags for my M4's, Evo's and even Glock/AAP. Playing almost with the attitude that just keeping the opponents heads down was a victory, even if I had to light-up the wall they were behind or bush beside them. However last weekend I changed up my "rig" to include pouches for MP5/EVO mid-caps. Bearing in mind Evo mid-caps are 75 rounds, I was especially surprised that even after a heavy "defend the village" game, I had only just started on my second mag. I also discovered that I found it satisfying when the gun stopped firing on empty and I had to use the bolt release after inserting a new one. So I think I'll stick with them going forward and just pick my shots more carefully. What have you changed/learned recently?
  22. They're extremely well made and the BB gauge is a fantastic feature but in my experience, even when using a sidewinder style loader they're a bitch to fill much past the halfway mark.
  23. I'm not one for loadouts but today I've inadvertently gone Czech....something...

      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"

  24. I would agree with that from a purely practical standpoint, I do love the way it looks and feels though. I think the best upgrade is the wheel adjustment hop unit. I know the AAP is already more than capable out of the box but I feel adding the proper nub and arm system takes it to a whole other level.
