Whilst I haven’t been to the new DL site I used to go to the old one and it was pretty good in my opinion. But to say that ‘80% of sites in the uk are shit’? I don’t think so bud.

Bloke goes into a pub with a pie on his head. The barmans curiosity gets the better of him and he asks “ere mate, do you know you’ve got a pie on your head?” ”Yeah, course I do, I always go to the pub on a Tuesday with a pie on me head” ”Oh” says the barman, “you know it’s Thursday don’t you mate?” “What?!” Says the bloke “you’re joking! I must be looking a right twat”

My friend if you can have a day like that but still roll with the punches and be happy at the end of it then you’re truly an airsofter, many I know would moan like stink at all that but the idea is to not take it too seriously and just enjoy the day, which it sounds like you did. I’m also at that age where recovery is a three dayer if I’m lucky but boy o boy it’s always worth it. One of the more humorous things I do is watch the young sprint about on a game day and see if I can recall what it was like to have that energy, no luck so far, it was too long ago 😂

For fucks sake. I not sure either as to how much of a threat incidents like these are to our sport, but it does make me shiver a bit knowing how much gear many players have amassed over the years to then be told ‘that’s all now illegal’. I don’t have much but it’d still be a nasty whack to have it all taken off me. And all because of pricks like this. How does anyone get to that age without realising that pulling shit like this is a bad idea? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I haven’t seen that one yet but that’s an ad I ain’t gonna be clicking on, no offence Naga ??

Indeed, I'm no communist but that would be something to see again, I remember well the ‘victory day’ parades that used to appear on the news in the 80’s, hordes of infantry, ICBM’s, tanks, mass flypasts and everything in between. They certainly believed in numbers back then!

I agree there’s a ton of difference in US v UK, there’s pride in the armed forces on both sides however the yanks go about it in a different way. The displays seen on the India/Pakistan border are something else though, it’s as much a show as it is drill but they take it seriously there, very different from that seen in any of our trooping displays. Then there’s the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier, supreme accuracy and attention to detail.

I don’t have a choice, its for a stag do ?‍♂️ It’s right near me too, had no idea it was there! Well I guess if it’s as bad as you as say then a little suffering is good for the soul ??

I’ll soon be going there, next month in fact, should be interesting with all this info……..

With respect I said ‘can be’. They’re not all the same, I wouldn’t and never do generalise about things, it’s not fair ??

Interesting post with some very well written out information. This sort of post is always useful for getting people to think about what they’re doing when approaching a certain situation. It’s not always obvious. Its yet another demonstration of how unaware and uneducated security agencies can be when it comes to airsoft. I don’t think I’ll ever be in a situation where I need to be carrying anything gun or replica related through security of any kind but when I do travel the golden rule regarding where I pack any shit I’m not sure of is ‘if there is any doubt then there’s no doubt’ and in that hold luggage it goes. Again you just don’t know who you’re going to get manning that scanner belt, especially it seems in the UK, where at least half of the staff on the security line seem to be mouth breathing automaton fools. You do get good people sometimes but that ain’t a guarantee. The discussions I’ve had with people about things as innocent as a camera would make you break a rib laughing. Heed the advice given by the OP and err on the side of caution….

As someone who has had pages on just giving for runs that I do for hospices and cancer etc I find this a massive fucking pisstake. Not forgetting all the other genuine fundraisers on there that really make a difference. I’m in two minds whether to message the guy but I guess it’ll go in one ear and out the other.

I can confirm that I’m ? a cunt. I must be, I’m always getting fucked by others ??

As I’ve said before, all these chancers need is one poor old chump who hasn’t done his homework and boom it’s sold way over priced. It’s the same old game of cast the reel and hope for a bite being played here.

I know there’s already some pretty hardline gear being smoked by these Mack’s worthy sellers but this lad must be on some absolute Martian grade space dust to want 750 for that??!!
