      This article compares the EU countries spending as a % of GDP http://www.bullfax.com/?q=node-european-public-spending-revisited Defence is the little grey bit near the top of each column. Even the US spends a smaller percentage on defence than they do on "social protection" or welfare as it's also known.

      okay it deletes anything bigger than a certain character count... okay that's annoying but all i want to say is if we sort out the country we will have more money in the country and i am not saying we should just spend this purely on defense i agree that we need more money for the NHS and schools, but it is a bit disheartening when the government cut the defense budget again and again, especially as i am going for a military career but that makes me a bit biased i guess.

      I figured your position was driven by being military in some way. No bad thing that, but maybe try asking a nurse or a teacher or a pensioner where the money should go ;) It's a tricky balancing act and all too easy to only see one part of the equation.

  1. hmm should i spend £620 on a new gun and gear hmmmmm

      depends on the job, I could happily drop £600 a month on airsoft if I didn't put anything into savings.

      I'm with Shinobi, YOLO. Also, marui recoil shock AEGs are AWESOME, which is why I own 2 and will probably buy another!

      You're more likely to be killed as a police officer in the more dangerous parts of this country :P

      'i'll die and my mrs will be widowed'. There's a chance you can die in any job, yes it's slightly increased in the army, but your still highly likely to be fine. You make it sound like it's guaranteed.

      gaspod when i went to the careers office they said i was too tall for tanks XD

    4. Gaspod4933

      Gaspod4933

      Did they measure you or just ask you your height.

      What part of the armoured crops did you ask about?

      It's not just tanks

      Mbt regiments use challenger 2.

      Armoured cav regiments use cvrt,

      and light cav use jackals.

      Jackals have no roof so I can't see how your to tall for that lol

      How does the TM Recoil stack up againest gas recoil?

    4. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      The TM electric recoil guns give more of a recoil effect than actual recoil. Nothing like a gas gun at all really.

       

      As for systemas being crap... I'm not sure if agree with that, I don't agree with them being worth £1000+ but they're definitely very good guns.

      Hit the nail on the head there, I get zukked a lot 🤣   *not claiming anything towards any company or individual* but there is a tonne of dodgy business done by a lot of retailers and manufacturers that just doesn't get talked about, so wouldn't surprise me as has happened before! Oh well business goes on, facebook is just an easy way of communicating with the community, tbf its not all bad, not having to manage or pay people to manage the facebook chat isnt all bad on a sunday night!!

      Huh, I can still see https://www.facebook.com/SismeyWilliamsonAirsoftSolutions/

       

      Facebook though, urgh.  This is a company who approached Steven Crowder, offered to create adverts for him to run on Facebook, billed him for doing so, and then decided that the adverts that they'd created weren't appropriate for their own platform and refused to run them.  Hilarity ensued.

       

      The sad fact seems to be that anything remotely gun related is going to be thrown down the memory hole by the SJW zealots at Facebook, YouTube and Google, who have form for censoring all searches containing the three letters "gun", including burgundy and Laguna Beach.

       

      I'm very much a small government chap, but where a company holds an effective monopoly, I can see grounds for regulating it as a public service to prevent this kind of knee jerk lunacy.

      They have banned me from replying to messages, commenting or doing anything on the page or my personal one,

       

      I deactivated my ad account with them, every time I tried to set an ad up they would put a ban on the acc!

      Dumb idea, how about features from famous movies or even real life events? Was thinking a reproduction of the Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad or the compound pictured in 13 hours. Or even super 6-4 crash site for a BHD themed game. I'd watch some videos from swamp sniper, ballahack could be a good source of inspiration..

    4. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      @Skara - Balahack looks like an awesome site!

  18. would you rather an outdoor plywood CQB arena or a car scrap yard? (debating what to create next on site)

      Car scrapyard would be cool...

      However if you are to go the plywood route, would much prefer a short/medium distance village rather then ultra short engagement distance box style CQB. 

    3. Druid799

      Druid799

      Cars no doubt but if you do have to go ply wood I’d also say small village , lots of garden shed sized buildings with walled gardens making ‘alleyways’ between them so you have some nice choke points and killzones .

    4. proffrink

      Scrap yard would make some really nice sounds too when you're being shot at.

      CES_williamson

      Sadly we will be changing most of our stock to RIF's but once those start getting popular I am sure we will get some new ranges in which will certainly include internal parts! Though if you are in need of a specific part drop me a PM or email and I will always try and get it in for you :)

    3. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      Moving away from budget range will be good. Personally (not as Moderator) when I see cheap spring pistols and bright coloured cheap guns it just looks like another shop with "BB gun" in its name. Not somewhere I would take seriously. Favourite brands are still TM and Krytac.

    4. CES_williamson

      CES_williamson

      Hi jedi, the main reason we got in a budget range was simply to have a product which new players can buy to practice shooting and get into the airsoft world, because before we got this we didnt have anything for new players or people who just wanted a basic bb gun not for airsofting, if you look at literally any airsoft retailer, they all have these ranges, we just simply brought one in recently but this is pretty much where it stops as we wont be pursuing growing this range at all! instead we will be putting all of our focus into increasing our range of RIF range, but we certainly wont be becoming a budget retailer, our budget range will probably stay the size it is now as this is not something I am going to be pushing! (hope this explains the position on this!) TM and Krytac we are certainly looking into, just waiting on the new krytac shipment into the UK to see what new goodies they are sending over, the NGRS range is also something I am keen on getting into!
