    They are, ring them (they are literally five mins walk from my front door), the website is a bit pants.

    Did you move even closer? Your earlier reply said tou lived 7 min. Walk away, or have you been working out and walk much quicker now?

    Whats's Your Weakness?

    in General Discussion

    I guess my main weakness is anxiety as well (unless I go airsofting, I have no troubles going to a skirm by myself, most of you airsoft types are allright.)

     

    Airsoft related: the trigger. 😅

    Took my new toy out last Sunday, easily went through over 7.500bb's I think.

    Guess I should try to stick to semi auto a bit more, rather than 3 round burst. Maybe also leave the drum mag in the safety zone and stick to 5 midcaps (note to self: buy more midcaps)

    If you want something a bit more durable than lexan you can use blue sapphire glass, stuff made for watches 

    I wouldn't trust sapphire glass. It has a good resistabce against scratches, but will break quite easily when dropped. If you get hit on the edge, or on an already existing crack, it'll shatter.

     

    And it's also way more expensive than some polycarb.

    Rail Mounted Bipods

    depending on the situation, any time lost setting up the bipod won't really matter, if you're defending you're not likely to be moving and want to stay down and out of sight anyway, if you're attacking it depends on the tempo you're gaining ground.

     

    AFAIK the foregrip/bipod combo's drop quite quickly with the push of a button, with the bigger standalone bipods you need to manualy fold both legs down, which can take a bit longer.
    I'm thinking of getting one as well, but so far I haven't seen one for M-lok yet, so I might just buy an RIS raila dapter at some point.

    Watches

    in Off-Topic Discussion

    Posted

    I was very close to become a watchmaker (and am now working as a clockmaker for a big London Museum).

    Aside from a £15,- watch I use at airsoft, I have 3 watches, 2 from Argos that cost me £10,- and £15,- respectively and which I use to make sure all the clocks are on time, and a good mechanical watch I don't usually wear.

     

    As I work with some very old and probably quite valuable clocks and watches on a daily basis, I don't really care about owning expensive watches, I'd love to own a Patek Philippe some day, but maybe after I've won the lottery (and then first stop myself from buying a better car and spending the rest on RIF'S)

    Drinking Water and Airsoft

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I usually have one or two 0,5L bottles on me, refill when possible.
    I also try not to carry just water but put some of those pills that basically turn it into a sportsdrink (can;t remember the name right now) as I know myself and I also need the salt and minerals, otherwise I'm likely to faint.

    I also will take some snacks/sweets with me on the field, just in case.

    Skirmish Wycombe Airsoft

    in Skirmish Sites, Stories & Reviews

    Went here last Sunday (August 2nd) and they have done a lot of improvements on the buildings.

    The safety zone has been updated and looks "fresher" although now with less roofs over the tables so less dry space when it rains.

     

    Some of the buildings who had fallen down in the past have also been rebuild, most noticeable is their killhouse (the CQB zone) which I mentioned in my previous reply. It has been rebuild and looks very sturdy (and is a bitch to infiltrate 😅).

     

    Only downsides I saw was that all the paths had been overgrown, but that was to be expected for 5 months of inactivity.

     

    Just before starting the 3rd game I noticed a wasp nest and after some back and forth between marshalls and owner we were brought to another field and from what I heard they had someone over to deal with the nest the same day. (I did feel quite sorry for the two female marshalls who both got stung a couple of times as well as one player, thankfully another player had anti-waspsting spray with him and icepacks were provided to help with the swelling).

     

    In short: they used the lockdown downtime to do some improvements in both the field and safety zone. I have since last weekend become a site member, so you might see me playing here every now and then
