Ah, that explains it. I didn't realise there's more than 1 site called Pheonix

Same here. A quick Google search says he does still play there Tbh even if he didn't I'd probably avoid it as from reading the reviews the owner comes across as a bit of a cunt who throws his toys around when criticised

Has that ever actually happened though? It could be argued that using words like toy can promote unsafe practices as it promotes the "its only a toy" mindset, leading to people being more likely to do something stupid

As others have posted, it's a very social hobby. In the 20 years I've been playing I've found airsofters to be one of the most welcoming groups around. Sure you get the occasional twat but they're often easily identified and avoided.

Yes I am and I will. The thing is that those who don't like this hobby aren't going to suddenly change their mind based on what we call our kit, so why bother trying to appease them as it won't change a thing

Speak for yourself. They're airsoft guns so I'm happy to shorten that to guns. If others don't like it and are upset by 3 letters then that's their problem.

Unless the buyer has asked if I mind waiting a few days then I would expect payment that day. Quite frankly waiting 5 days is taking the piss especially with zero comms.

Same here. When the ai500 was announced my thoughts were that the site looked great but I knew ai would fuck it up "It's been played before now it's time to play it properly with vastly reduced numbers, carefully planned cover between buildings and lead by a professional team" Bloody hell that's a not so subtle dig???

Definitely switch to heavier bbs if you're playing outdoors, the lightest I'd go is .28g. Leave the. 2s for CQB where IMO they're a better choice Joule creep is definitely a thing, although it affects gas guns (especially nbb) more than AEGs or springers. For AEGs I wouldn't be worried if they're not already close to site limits but for gas guns I'd be wanting to be a little more cautious. Unfortunately the only way to be 100% sure is to try it

With the cost of living going up some players are going to be spending less so sites will have less income while running costs increase. Add to this land owners seeing a better return on another use or redevelopment (especially CQB sites) and tbh I'm not surprised we're losing sites. This. I know I've had sites described as both and found then to be the opposite which is why I recommend trying as many different sites where possible

That hpa engine could be interesting, but as its ares and the first production run I'll leave it till any faults or problems have been found

At the lhe last couple of CQB games I found that my plate carrier was getting in the way when drawing my pistol from the hip so I picked up a drop leg platform. It arrived today and from just setting it up and getting the fit right I'm impressed. Unlike other drop leg holsters I've had in the past this one doesn't flap around when moving but the real test will come on my next gameday

Would a McDonalds happy meal do?

Link no worky☹

Same here. That and finding a holster for a P99 is hard enough without a light attached

No problems for me on chrome on my phone

Even with those numbers my earlier post still stands

Welcome

Any upgrade which ups the muzzle energy is going to add more stress to parts, whether it's enough to cause a failure is the question. If stock parts have broken under normal use then I wouldn't be surprised if one upgrade then makes another necessary till you've basically replaced everything. By that point you might as well have just bought something better

Bloody hell. If they're the cheaper option how much are cryes?

I'm not sure the new rules have anything to do with the new members spamming the forum with adverts. We seem to get a wave of them every few months

Me three

Glad I missed it then. As I don't get to play as often as I used to this is one thing which really annoys me. I've paid to play not sit on my arse.

This. Airsoft is at least 50% a tactical fashion show, whether it's a stitch perfect impression or a more personalised loadout we all secretly want to look the part when slinging plastic at each other. I know that while I tailor my gear to what's practical and works for me there's always the aesthetics that come into play

I thought the school holidays were over
