  1. Wow. Definitely sounds like one to avoid, I'm guessing things like this are the reason it was called dogshite in many faceache groups
  2. But in A New Hope the stormtroopers on the deathstar were deliberately missing. Obi wan commenting on the destroyed Jawa sand crawler "And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise." Then there's this line from Grand Moff Tarkin after the escape "You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work." Yes I'm a nerd
  3. My mistake, I was on about Bodies. I didn't see the YouTube link where Collin had quoted the OP till I expanded it.
  4. The first video title is wrong. G&G released a GBBR a little over 10 years ago. I wonder if this one uses the same magazines (probably not but I can hope)
  5. Where did you hear that? Everything I can find from the band says it's about the mosh pit. Either way, I'd still rather not listen to it as I'm not a whining emo kid trying to be edgy For me it's probably Yakety Sax (the Benny Hill theme tune) as I'm often running around like a headless chicken with no clue as to what's going on
  6. No, my shift pattern for work means I don't get many sundays off so I have to travel around to play
  7. Not sure what brand they are but my M4 mags fit my PDW
  8. Glad it's not just me The marshal was great, rather than getting arsey he just asked me not to use them anymore and apologised for forgetting it in the briefing
  9. I decided to bite the bb and paid them a visit last night. I've put a post on the 'how did your airsoft day go' thread so I'll keep it short here. A nice little site which is well run. The only negatives were that they don't allow bangs and some of the dead players giving people's positions away. I'd definitely visit again but I don't know how often they change the layout as it could get a little boring if they don't
  10. So last night I took a trip down to Future Survival in Gravesend for some mid week CQB. On arrival I got signed in and found a free spot in the quite small safezone to sort out my kit. There was around 15 players there and while I didn't find myself struggling for space, it did feel a bit crowded. After kitting up it was off to chrono. This was done quickly and without fuss. Interestingly I did notice on their site rules the limits are slightly different depending on bb weight used, 340fps (1.07j) for .2g bbs or 310fps (1.12j) for .25g bbs. Tbh though the difference is that small that it doesn't really make any difference Games played were a mixture of types including deathmatch and king of the hill and the turn around between games was nice and quick but didn't feel rushed. One rule I did fall foul of was when it comes to grenades. Their rules state "no pyro or flash bang grenades" which I took to mean disposable paper pyros, but actually includes BFGs. Something which I only found out after tossing one into a room. The marshal did say he'd forgotten to mention it in the briefing though. The only other negative was some of the other players. Quite a few (on both teams) seemed to have a difficulty understanding what dead men don't talk means, fortunately though they could easily be ignored. TL,DR: It's a well run site and I'd say the game zone is quite well laid out and IMO only needs a couple of tweaks to improve it. A solid 3.5 out of 5 overall
  11. No. The mag it comes with looks slightly different to a regular M4 mags but it'll take M4 magazines too.
  12. Not to mention that's not a "M4 stubby". It's a KAC PDW
  13. Nothing fancy, just new desert dpm trousers and multicam black top for cqb. It looks like getting unissued DDPM is starting to get harder, but it has been out of service for about 15 years now so I shouldn't be too surprised
  14. Imperial War Museum is always worth a visit, free entry too (some special exhibits may have a fee). Also there's the RAF Museum at Hendon
  15. "only been shot a few times" The state of the mag says otherwise
  16. They certainly are a bit on the warm side. I've got one of the carbines and I've had it chrono at over 2.4j using green gas in the middle of winter
  17. Never heard of them but a quick Google search shows quite a lot of negative reviews, not just for the time taken but for the quality of their work and customer service too. All in all I'd go elsewhere
  18. Posted in the ad they want what they paid for it, which was still a rip off. Although I think this one is more down to naivety than deliberately trying to take the piss
  19. Second hand this is probably worth more like £30
  20. I think that boneyard items are sold with the expectation the buyer knows they're potentially broken/faulty already and accepts this risk
  21. While I agree with the logic behind this, I don't get to play as often as I'd like due to other things taking priority so I'd rather spend my limited time and money going to games I know I'll enjoy rather than paying to spend a weekend wet, miserable and bored Filmsim sounds like a good balance between the two
  22. I should probably add that I've never used one for a milsim, just camping, but the first time it did use it I probably had the best night sleep I'd had when camping ever. The trick is to lay on it diagonally so you get a horizontal sleeping position
  23. Imo the best way to insulate yourself from the ground is to get up off it. If you're putting up a basha between trees then hang a hammock underneath it. They're relatively cheap, lightweight and more compact than a kip mat
