  1. If you want to use it crack on! Don't let other people stop you! You never know you might catch some funny moments of you or your son. 👍 I see people running GoPros and don't even bat an eyelid at them. It's just the norm these days. I wouldn't worry or overthink it - just go have fun with it!
  2. Thanks for the info... took the gun apart completely to have a good look into it. Turns out the teeth on the piston had been shredded to the point where it wasn't pushing back enough to make contact with the recoil piston. Would still fire (at like 200fps less than usual lol) and after grabbing a chrono i did some testing. Replaced the piston, did some TLC to the internals (mainly consisting of cleaning out all the plastic shavings which were scattered through the gearbox 😬) - all working now. Thanks for the info anyway!
  3. Hey everyone! Got a question regarding my TM HK416D Custom. During a game day a few weeks back my recoil weight stopped working. Initially i thought the weight might be jammed but it doesn't seem to be the case. The gun still fires but the recoil part doesn't work currently and i don't want to potentially put un-necessary wear on anything without having it working normally. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing the problem? I have taken the bufffer tube off and checked the the recoil weight still works and it seems fine, spring is fine and piston seems fine too. Just for some reason it doesn't want to push the recoil weight back? Note: No idea how to actually access the recoil weight itself as i'm not entirely sure how to take the end off the buffer tube... Any assistance would be much appreciated. 😇 Thanks all!
  4. Dover's historic Citadel fortifications to become massive airsoft arena - Kent Live ITS HAPPENING!!! I had posted about this site a little while ago (here), as it looked like a great opportunity for some awesome CQB games. So pumped to hear it's going to be used for some in the near future. Definitely getting a ticket when it opens! 😄
  5. Proper gutted.... was looking forward to finally getting back out there. 😔
  6. COVID-19: When every lockdown rule is set to lift in England According to Mr Boris, on March 29th "organised outdoor sports can take place for children and adults". Does this mean... airsoft can return?! I hope so, i've been going mad not being able to shoot people with plastic. ❤️
  7. ikr lol... still a bit of an interesting brand name: Excellent Elite Spanker. They seem to primarily sell collars and dog leashes... 👀
  8. Hey everyone! Hope you're all not going too mad at the moment lol... I've started building a wolf grey loadout and was wondering if anyone knew of any available mag pouches which are grey, and stackable. Preferably i'd want to run a triple stacked mag pouch so i can run 6 mags on my vest, but i cant find any grey ones anywhere! The only ones i could find are the plastic single mag retention pouch things which you can supposedly stack? I'd rather run a fabric pouch over a plastic one for aesthetic reasons though. I did find this (see below image), but i can only get it on AliExpress at the moment... and i'd rather not risk that unless absolutely necessary haha! Any help with this would be much appreciated Stay safe!
  9. I hope you do some dark/night games like this. It would be awesome! Potential for some Zombie game nights too
  10. Firstly, welcome! 👋 Main thing is to have fun and enjoy yourself! The airsoft community is one of the friendliest i've ever been a part of and people will be more than happy to help you get started. 😃 I started renting for a few months until i got my UKARA license, which is required to be able to purchase any RIF. If you do know anyone with a spare or a friend who has another gun free, i'd suggest using that. The prices for renting a gun/kit on-top of the site fees can make it quite costly. I would highly suggest you start by purchasing some good quality eye protection and boots if you haven't already. I'm currently using Bolle Contour Safety Glasses as they're more comfortable for my odd-shaped head and nose 😅. You can use whatever suits you as long as it covers your eyes completely and is going to withstand a potential barrage of BBs at close range. Don't cheap out on eye protection, it only takes one BB to take an eye out! Check out the UK airsoft retailers and they normally supply tried and tested eyepro. I also have some Magnum branded boots which have ankle support (this is, and has been, a total ankle-saver for me!). I've witnessed a guy in trainers break his ankle after getting his foot jammed in a rabbit hole... not pretty! Also, if you don't like getting shot in the face, or would prefer to not lose any teeth, pick up a mesh lower face protector. It's unlikely that you'll lose a tooth but you can never be too careful... Hope this helps!
  11. Looks suspiciously like the ARMY ARMAMENT R36K which you can buy on... bbguns4less.co.uk 👏👏 Naughty naughty...
  12. Exactly how i started. I only rented a few times then my friend let me borrow his spare gun. Before i knew it i had my UKARA and was able to buy my own. Much better in my opinion to rent and hold off buying a lime green eyesore, as you're going to be putting a decent amount of money into a gun which you will want to change as soon as you get your UKARA. It may feel like forever but it is definitely worth waiting until you get your UKARA. 😊
  13. @Shriven If you don't find one, let me know. I'm up for starting a little project to make one myself. :)

  14. @MrWilson If you need any help with the website give me a shout. Also very hyped for this! Got a group of people interested now and we're all waiting for the big day!
  15. Hey Daniel! Nice to meet another member from Kent! I started Airsoft a little less than a year ago and initially was looking at that exact G&G gun to start off with. It's definitely a great starter gun, and i would personally pick that over the Specna Arms one. One thing to note if you do decide to go with the G&G gun, is that it looks like you'll have to buy 11.1v batteries for it due to the mosfet installed (see bottom of description on the website). This isn't an issue though as the 11.1v batteries will make the gun a whole lot more responsive. Just worth keeping in mind before you accidentally buy the wrong type! If you haven't already, pop down to Invicta Battlefield or Ace Combat (both are based between Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells). These sites are where i started, everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful and there's an on-site shop ran by PlatoonStores if you ever have any issues or questions! Luke
