  1. I have decided to retire young.

    Thanks for the cheese.

    Catch ya's later.

      Ye I had one of these. They were really cool. However, I saw pot metal seams on mine and was afraid it would crack if I accidentally dropped it.

      @AK47frizzle - It definitely looks the part and this is the "Silo Spec" one with RA-Tech steel parts and TNT barrel & bucking, so shoots very well too. This won't get skirmished much, if at all as it weighs a ton, the mag is a bit of a pain to load and you need the worlds tiniest allen key to adjust hop. I agree the metal could be better but it feels amazing in the hand, I love the full travel slide and it's never splutters even in fairly cool weather.

      Im thinking of getting the l6 version at some point and running it as a primary because it was pretty damn accurate with the fixed barrel when I still had it.

  2. I guess the 'rona is to blame but just chased up where a RIF I'd bought was (I placed the order a month ago), only to be told it was on back-order and not with them yet. That's the third time in a row!

  3. Just started watching Inception. This is going to make me want a Beretta PX4 isn't it...

      @EvilMonkee I used to own the "HK3" one, which was essentially We with trades. Typical WE, slide weighed a ton, it vented like crazy and the paint flaked off everytime you touched it.

      My slide on my TM one cracked last year but that was after 5 or 6 years of being abused.  Managed to get a replacement slide and shes all up and running.

  4. Always found Bolt Action rifles a bit pointless as all the ones I had were only of average accuracy at best. However I am genuinely excited at the thought of using this that's just come back from Luke @ Negative Airsoft. The accuracy is phenomenal and bolt pull so easy and smooth for something which is kicking out 486fps.

      bolties at 1j is basically airsoft hard mode.

       

      problem i have with it is you just end up so frustrated at landing a beautiful shot, the target not taking it, and being stuck without the ability to quickly follow up and often not wanting to expose your position to call them out on it.

       

      which is probably why my bolty can only lift .32's and i have 2 assault guns that can lift .48's......

      The issue I had with running a 1J BASR is the guys I shot at 15-30M ranges cried like little bitches because one was "scared of a sniper that close shooting at them" and the other was convinced I was running 500FPS and demanded.inwas chronod.

       

      Wasn't worth the hassle so dropped an M150 in and sat an extra 20M back.

      What Adolf said.

      In this country there is this retarded mindset that one bb is not a hit and people need to bleed to call them.

      So most of the times I shoot at people, hit them, they shrug it off and keep playing, until I blast them in the face or where it hurts the most (inner thigh/armpit says hello), but at that point it's not fun anymore. I'd like to play more as a sniper because the overall role is extremely fun (slipping past opponents, realying their positions and movements to my teammates, taking shots to disorient them, you know, what makes it fun) but gets old fast when people just consider you an inferior being.

  5. Hi Andy,

     

    I just wanted to let you know that I don't want you Cybergun AKS.

     

    All the best!

      No worries it’s marked as sold now sold last night.

      thanks 

  6. WE CT25 - yay or nay? (as a "cute" addition to the collection, I have plenty others which perform well)

      I dunno, the black sits quite nice. Kind of poor mans blueing.

       

      I mean its based on the colt 25 which im pretty sure predates parkerising

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Adolf Hamster - A blued one would be amazing.

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      probably possible to make a facsimile, afaik you can't properly blue aluminium.

       

      maybe a really dark anodising?

  7. Finally managed to get back in to my account. Not that any of you lot care but I missed it here!

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

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      @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

  8. Feels good to finally spend a day involved with Airsoft. I'd actually missed the lower back pain and overall exhaustion.

     

    I didn't actually skirmish but have spent half the day sweeping up the BB's at the end of my garden! 

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      I do miss it, and whats worse is this has happened right when i've finished all my current projects so i have nothing to tinker with :(

  9. When you're trying to sell an AEG on UKAF but also @avenger63 is a member. If anyone is looking the buy an upgraded SCAR it's below his 963 ads, cheers guys.

     

    No hate BTW, just having a chuckle as I look in awe about the number of RIF's you're selling.

      It’s not a bad thing........ honestly 🤣🤣

      Open your own store instead of spamming our boards?

       

    4. Steveocee

      You shifted those H8r's yet? If they were both Gen2 I'd have snapped your arms off. As it is I'd have to buy them both, move the "black bits" onto the Gen2 and then use that leaving an ugly Gen1 in the cupboard 😞

  10. I'm starting to think my hobby is buying airsoft guns, rather than owning and using them 🤔

      I have so fair avoided this trap I own 2 guns and I use both at the same time my pistol and evo. 

       

      Every time I look at another gun I just think it won't be as good as my current ones.

      @Musica - That's a very mature way of looking at it. I envy you!

      For once it feels good to be poor!

  11. An excellent day at Zed Adventures Battle Lakes yesterday, really made me fall back in love with airsoft. A bit further afield than I'm used to but it was really good to finally play at a new site (had only been to two different ones in three years of playing).

      @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 😁

    3. Lasbrisas17

      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.

  12. Gonna be testing my fully upgraded WE G18C (aka Poseidon P18 Evo Mod1) against a stock Marui G18C this weekend. Any suggestions for criteria? Would anyone be interested in seeing a report with photo's and even short videos? 

    1. Skara

      Skara

      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)

  13. Just booked Zed Adventures Battle Lakes for 26th Jan. Anyone else going?

  14. Just paid my second customs/handling charge in as many weeks. That's it! I'm not buying any more guns until at least next year!

      Easy to say when it's the eleventh of december.

       

      SAY IT AGAIN ON JANUARY 1st IF YOU DARE! :P

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      I can say it all I want.. i'll just add it to a list of soon to be broken New Years Resolutions!

  15. Hmmm...do I get a TM M4A1 purely for garden plinking or would a cheaper alternative be just as good (circa 35M range)?

  16. Which site should I go to this weekend?

     

    With weather being the way it is and having been to my two most local sites a million times, I'm feeling a bit "meh" about getting up in the morning and loading all my gear in to my car. I'm thinking an interesting site with a good crowd will go a long way in motivating me.

      Zed adventures have their first game in the zoo site this weekend. See if you can get in there

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Oh, good shout!

  17. Don't drink and buy!

     

    During a Halloween party over the weekend I spent nearly $300 on a "Silo Spec" Cybergun Desert Eagle from Swit Airsoft. As it's an upgrade package I couldn't even cancel it the next day 😭

  18. Can anyone spot the mistake in my new cover photo.....

     

    There's literally no prize but it's the taking part that counts, right!?

      It's a good bit of kit I'll have you know! Plus it was like £50 delivered as I got it on special offer.... So meh.

      I really hope your talking in jest and not actually butt hurt

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      Haha, yeah of course. Wouldn't get upset over someone making a joke about my chosen brand of scope. 

  19. Deliberating over which airsoft gun would make the ideal addition to a collection, has to be the very definition of "first world problems"
