      you got a loicence for these cable ties guv?

       

      thought not, youre bloody nicked sunshine

  2. Not sure about this compensator. It does actually help stable the gun but makes adjusting hop more awkward. Opinions?

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

  4. 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!

      @Druid799 I remember one game in particular when the dog leg was still there, my buddy Greg had holed up on the upper level behind the lift shaft and "mined" the stairs with two separate sets of remote dets. Many kills were had that day!

    3. Druid799

      Druid799

      My favourite was a team of way too serious types stacked up on the middle double doors of the basement service tunnel , lead chap pulls the door open 2nd lobs a ‘nade around him way too high , hits the door frame bounces back and detonated on top of the lead’s helmet ! 😖

      he goes down like a sack of the brown smelly stuff rest of the team were declared grenade killed by the marshal then we noticed No1 was sat on the floor with the blankest look on his Face i’d ever seen 😵💫 took him a good hr to ‘recompose him self’ shall we say ? And apparently took a couple of days for the ringing in his ears to subside ! 🤣🤣

      You're not wrong there. The number of times I see pyro "fails" where they throw it into a tree, or try to post it into a 1st floor window only to miss and have it bounce back, killing them all... Priceless :D

       

      I can count the amount of pyro I've thrown in this game on one hand, and I've been playing for almost 17 years now. I just don't like it, though if I was going to a more serious event I'd probably just pack lots of smokes. Smokes can be really, really helpful as a sniper for disengaging.

  7. Sods fucking law! Dusting off the DMR that I've setup to use 0.36's and of course I can only find 0.20's, 0.23's, 0.25's, 0.28's, 0.30's, 0.32's, 0.40's & 0.43's 🫤

      It's fine, I've been gouging the 0.40's with a small screwdriver. It took a while but they're all about 0.36 now #lifehacks

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      36's are AR food. DMR's need at least 4's.

    4. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Steveocee - Sounds like airsoft "bro science" to me. With hop set for 0.40's, my joule output is actually lower than with 0.36's.

  8. Supporting the local economy is one thing but this was a £45 order and the parts aren't available in The UK. So paying nearly 50% in top is more than a tad frustrating....

      I ordered a set off body pins from out the UK - 12.99 - Customs tried too charge me £8.99 VAT + 8.00 Handling. Imagine Post  Brexit.

    2. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      If it was actually protecting UK industry, you could see the point, but we don't make most of this stuff, and couldn't come anywhere near to competing on price even if we did.

       

      It's just more money to the exchequer at this point.

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Rogerborg - Doubly frustrating because I realised I'd order the wrong part colour pretty much as soon as I checked-out. E-mailed the seller and they replied that they don't have it in the other colour and dispatched this one almost immediately because I was asking to cancel it.

  9. That's the problem with Asian retailers, you think it's a bargain and then they sting you on the shipping cost at checkout....

      Enter a promo code...

       

      are they taking the fucking piss or something

      you would need like a 95% discount code FFS

       

      $10,410.99 x 0.95 or 5% of original BS price = $520:55

      (a bit more reasonable - ish)

       

      Yeah best of luck finding the 95% discount code

      Fuck me you could go First Class & collect it in person

      & still have change to spend on Wu-Flu hookers

      @Sitting Duck 3 weeks in a quarantine hotel currently, now if they allowed the hookers then maybe not so bad 🙂

    4. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      @ak2m4 thing I wonder about...

      when you get off the plane and have to stay in a hotel to quarantine...

       

      Doesn't the cabin crew also have to quarantine too ???

       

      After all they have been on the same aircraft with a plane full of lepers all breathing the same air & had to stay over in the place you flew back from on a long haul flight ???

       

      Ahhh - but they are vaccinated most likely...

       

      But you can still catch & infect others even after vaccination, hence still wear masks & social distance etc... so are the cabin crew also entering quarantine too ???

       

      Besides, I would be flying First Class with Charlie Sheen & Hunter Biden so us lot up the front are exempt from all those lepers in economy class, plus all the hookers had the vaccine...

      (even though it looked they was shooting up heroin & smoking crack)

       

       

  10. Try and avoid ordering from evike wherever possible. Nothing inherently wrong with them but with the delivery time and that items always seem to get pulled by customs, it's just rarely financially worth it.

      I recently ordered an EBR front end because...reasons. What actually turned up was two outer barrels, an EBR sightpost and gas block and a standard M14 flash hider. All in bits as opposed to the "fully assembled" of the description and devoid of the EBR Vortex flash hider. Quick online chat with customer service and it was all sorted, replacement sent FOC and was told to keep the bits I'd been sent in error. Thanks to the goods being marked as zero value there was no customs hold up the second time which highlighted just how long they'd hung on to it before!

      I don't think I've ever had anything come from the US that hasn't been molested by customs.  It's pretty much guaranteed.

  11. Two different brands, two different prices but I'm struggling to tell the difference in the actual product (even down to the black inner barrel ring) 🤔

      A lot of this sort of stuff is made by others for ASG. Same way that a lot of Laylax stuff isn't made by them (they're just a bit more open about it).

  12. Unprotected, not even once! Did a quick chrono yesterday, with a cardboard box filled with packaging material and even a towel as the backstop. One of the shots ricocheted and smacked me right at the bottom of the brow bone leaving a sore welt. It goes without saying had I been positioned even a CM to the left, that could have been a lot worse!

      @Steveocee Having spare eyepro is a must. I keep one of mine with the BBs and gas as a reminder to put it on before shooting and another set is strapped to my plate carrier lol

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      @Steveocee - A disappointing 315, when it had been 340 with the previous setup!

       

      @Callsign.Raptor_ - I have two pairs sat by the chrono. As a child I had a bike nicked while the chain was wrapped around the seat...I was reminded of the senselessness of that approach yeaterday.

    4. SeniorSpaz87

      SeniorSpaz87

      I keep at least one set by the table saw, one by my dremel station, one in my airsoft area, and one by the lathe/milling machines. A BB to the eye sucks. A metal shaving is worse...

  13. Watching low budget Zombie movie "Hard Line" and they've found a WE G34....

      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

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

       

      maybe a really dark anodising?

      @CJSpalding - Thanks for the offer but I've just checked your ad and it comes with loads of stuff I don't need/want, so will likely stick to buying one new around the £280 mark.

      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+.

  19. Why yes, I do hate myself. Thanks for asking....

      @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

      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
