  1. Where do I start? That it's a whole £7 less than new from patrol base, the way the description is cut and pasted from somewhere like justbbguns, or the claim a 450-500 fps rifle is good for cqb?
  2. I love a nice bang (settle down at the back) but the couple of times I've played there I never found myself stuck without them.
  3. Halfords camouflage paint
  4. Definitely right to report it. The fact that they turned off the comments makes me think these things have been brought up before so he's avoiding difficult questions. Unless he's driving
  5. Welcome to the madness. I'd avoid sniping as a newbie as to be effective it takes alot more than just putting the crosshairs on the target and squeezing the trigger. If I had a pound for everytime a new player started with a bolt action rifle, only to sell it a couple of moths later I could probably afford a couple of TM recoil gnus
  6. Russian issue slings are cheap and do the job
  7. 9/10 times it's used to try and justify a massive price increase
  8. Agreed. Also if anyone is on faceache and is struggling there's a mental health support group for airsofters called Man Down which I've found helpful https://www.facebook.com/groups/2322408757979991/?ref=share
  9. I understand that some ads are needed to pay the bills, but from what I remember it was particularly high. Its been a good few years since I looked at a copy of it so if they've improved then fair enough
  10. Yes 2. I've never read Airsoft Action so I won't comment on that. AI I would touch with a bargepole as its mostly adverts and the "articles" were poorly written, often copied straight from Wikipedia or forums (often complete with typos and spelling mistakes). Also every review was more like a glorified ad with all products being given high marks, no matter what. For example a CA AK arrived for their review dead out of the box, but was still given 4/5 stars. In fact the only time I've seen AI give a remotely honest review was when the G&G L85 was released. It wasn't favourable and the next issue they published a retraction after the shop got in contact with them On a side note I've also personally seen some very unsporting behavior from their staff while playing so as far as I'm concerned they can fuck right off
  11. Wtf did I just watch? I've seen better acting in porn
  12. You do realise that dickish behaviour is caused by the flesh coloured squishy bit, rather than whatever powers the rif?
  13. Having been in a similar scenario, although it wasn't quite point blank, I can confirm this does happen. Basically I was crawling on my belly hoping to get into a position to post a pyro into a sniper's position. I lifted myself up to go over a log and was met with a heavy weight round to the face from about 3 yards. When I spoke to the sniper later it turned out he was lining up a shot on someone else when my face filled his scope and the sudden surprise made him jump and accidentally pull the trigger
  14. Yes, it was a training exercise, but it still shows the stress the officer is under in such scenarios along with the way snap decisions must be made and how the situation can change in an instant.
  15. Protecting teeth was exactly what I think of when it comes to face masks. If a bb is able to go through the mask then it could easily chip or break a tooth which will cost more than the mask to fix. If the op is selling the masks as face protection suitable for airsoft and they're not up to the task he could potentially open himself up to law suits covering the cost of dental repair Edit:not sure why it quoted you twice
  16. £20 less than retail for a couple of shit pistols? I think I'll pass
  17. Sorry but I wouldn't touch home made PPE from some random guy on the internet. Apart from the problems with getting a good mold already mentioned, there's the level of protection it actually gives. Will you be sending masks away to be impact tested and given a protection rating? How are you going to ensure all later masks have the same level of protection if production isn't automated? All in all this to me looks as risky as buying unrated ppe from wish.com
  18. Unfortunately not being there or having access to all the information the officer had means any commentary on what should or could've happened is just armchair generals. As for policing in the UK and the USA, they're a very different job so comparisons between them is a case of apples and oranges
  19. Don't forget the M16 carry handle
  20. I didn't realise the BAC was still going. Personally I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole after they were caught handing out membership without checking the application came from a genuine airsofter. Also as no sites have been open since November they shouldn't really be giving out membership anyway. In short, just wait till you can get site membership and get on the UKARA database
