My brother has been a victim of someone claiming they haven't received the goods after he sent them, he did what @Rogerborg suggested and sent him a letter that he needed to sign for and gave the tracking to PayPal and they released the funds. When I sell anything now, I always send it "recorded/signed for".

New RIF for Christmas - dropping hints
Brophy replied to Johnyboy1976's topic in Off-Topic Discussion
I never know what to buy the missus and vice versa. We've got to the point now where we just drop links on whatsapp to each other around birthdays and xmas 😂 -
😂 Love it. Welcome to the forum dude. First thing I would say before you look at the gun side of things, get some decent eye protection and some decent boots with ankle support. 1. Ideally, you would want to pick a site and go "rental" until you get your UKARA, this is what I did, this will expose you to the electric platform, which is the most common and hopefully you'll see a few guys there with co2 and hpa, most people are happy enough for you to take a look and have they odd shot with their stuff. (Thanks @strykerles ) 2. You are right, its a preference thing, I've always done outdoors and prefer the vast size of the game zone, but will probably take a look at the CQB side over the shit weather / winter. 3. Can't comment on that, as I'm midland based, but you can have a search on the forum to see if anyone has left any game site reviews until someone commments about it.

Helmet Cam For Personal Use, Does It Make Me A Nobber?
Brophy replied to Fatboy40's topic in General Discussion
I tried a cam once, but on a shoulder mount, it was crap, however it did manage to capture me doing quite an loud and aggressive fart to which a nearby team member turned around and was like "WTF was that?!" I'm in the same boat, I don't plan on uploading it anywhere or starting a youtube channel, just to capture some memories, so will probably try a head mount next time, I just don't fancy wearing a helmet 😂 -
Welcome to the forum mate. Depending on which site of brum you live, you could look at bassetts pole or ace airsoft for trying some outdoor (I use Ace at least once a month and always seem to have a good day)

Welcome to the forum dude, let me know how you get on at west mids, I aint tried that site yet as I've been going to Ace Airsoft

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Brophy replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
My first pew pew! Been playing with it in the garden and consistently doing 335fps on the chrono, hopefully it being an Ares I've got one of the rare ones that work 😳 You really do fall down a rabbit hole after buying your first gun...... batteries, chargers, sights, mags.... My bank looking at me like.... Good news is that I will get to skirmish it on the 12th Sept.
-
Will be there on the 12th! Cya there!

Finally settled on a gun, although not the one I first set my eye on.
I had my heart set on the specna arms edge E-11 but been out of stock for weeks with no foreseeable restock before my next game.
So went with the last Ares Amoeba AM-008 patrol base had in stock, and although I was looking to spend a bit more, at £145, I can't complain, as I plan of this being the one I tinker with when I buy more 👀
Will be breaking it in at @Ace Airsoft War Games on the 12th September, so to the usual guys, see ya there 😉

Maybe should have got a p90 @Rogerborg..... 👀
Nah joking aside, I do plan on this being the one I piss about with and getting inside of, just one of my querks of being engineer 😂
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see a post from me when I get a bit stuck.

Another great day at @Ace Airsoft War Games yesterday and the weather didnt seem to put a damper on things!
It was a special day for me yesterday, as it was my final game as a rental and while typing this out I just had my UKARA sent through... I don't think my bank account is going to be very happy with me this month.....
Also, shout out to @strykerles for bailing my brother out with a spare face mask on the day, appreciate it mate!

Did you manage to get any footage and pics for this game? Apart from the end pic of us all together @Ace Airsoft War Games
-
Booked in at @Ace Airsoft War Games on the 4th of July, which means I can finally get my UKARA number sorted!
Anyone else booked up for then?

Welcome to the forum and the hobby! Shame on your "mates" who have since abandoned you! 😂 I'm sure you'll make ones at your regular site.

You might have some luck with this (if we get out of restrictions) while you are still in the area. https://inrangeuk.com/pages/the-gulag Operated by West Mids Airsoft.

Welcome back, I did try and summon you a few times by mentioning a p90 👀 😜

Dabbled with VR since I had a Oculus DK2, then used a PSVR with NoloVR controllers for a while until I got my Quest 2. Tried my mates Index, FOV (120 Index vs 90 Quest) and Refresh Rate (144 Index vs 120 Quest (recently added)) is higher than the Quest 2, but text looks sharper on the Quest 2 due to the higher res screen. I like the fact the Quest 2 can be just be used anywhere, either wireless or wired, without the use of base stations etc. I mainly play wired to PC for Steam VR. Played a bit of Phasmaphobia (which is a bit intense when first playing), Elite Dangerous, RE games using FPS mod/VorpX and Pavlov on the odd occasions with mates, normally pissing about on Prop Hunt or Zombie Mods. Currently going through the chapters on Half Life: Alyx, such a good polished VR game.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Brophy replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
So after buying strapped knee pads that keep sliding down and pissing me off, I realised that I had the pouches on my camo to place knee and elbow pads, they came yesterday and couldnt be happier with them. Get the try them out next weekend

I See Novritsch Has Noticed These Forums Then....
Brophy replied to Speedbird_666's topic in Forum Feedback
Could we collectively pay for a banner to replace this that says "I'd rather have a Cyma?" 😂 -
Welcome to the forum dude, I started just as corona hit and just shy of my 34th birthday, so you'll be fine! I'm with you with the grey hair although I blame my wife and kids for it.

Hiya mate, welcome to the mad house!

Hi Mate, Welcome to the forum. I'm in the same boat as you with prescription inserts as I'm slighly short-sighted, take a look at this if you want to get those lens inserts done for pretty cheap: And as @GAMBLE said, he has a youtube channel aimed at beginners, but forgets to link it https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL-V_yVApaCpm096XBAQE1A/videos
