Using heavyweight bbs that don't bleed off energy so fast and might sting a little?

You didn't post that though did you, all your post stated was that several times you were shot in the face. As usual you're changing what your complaining about when pulled up on it. Also the NAF is renowned for shitty play so expecting anything else is naive at best

Personally in the unfortunate event of something going walkies I'd like sites to at least try to help, rather than shrug their shoulders and so their best impression of BSM Williams

We play a game that involves getting shot at so complaining about getting shot just makes you look like an idiot. You're an adult so if you choose not to wear full face protection that's your problem. It makes a change from the usual HPA users are all cheaters bullshit

No idea, I didn't ask. However wanting to leave then would probably raise suspicions, whether or not that would be enough to detain someone I don't know. A few of us did volunteer. For me it was simply a case of getting it out of the way to get games started again quicker How would you feel if it was your property stolen?

They do look nice and I'm definitely interested, but my only concern is the possible fire risk from the sparks. Is it any greater than from normal bfgs or disposable pyro?

Goodwin's law Agreed. To many people nowadays think they can treat others like shit and then get all upset when they get the same treatment back. I'm willing to bet that those complaining or refusing wouldn't have the same attitude if it was their property that was nicked This reminds me of an incident many years ago at electrowerkz. Part way through the evening a player realised his wallet had gone walkies. Staff were informed and as it happened a few of the regulars were serving police officers. An announcement was made about what had happened, that nobody would be leaving and unless the wallet turned up they would start searches of kit and people. Fortunately said wallet did turn up and games started up again.

Blank firing guns have to have the barrel blocked

This. It does make me laugh that so many people will moan about how bad sites are, yet continue to go there week after week. As for the big events, imo this is just another reason to avoid them. As for marshals being volunteers, to me that makes no difference. Either do the job properly or don't volunteer

From what I was told anything with 100 - 120 bpm is good, here's a few other suggestions

We do, thanks for the suggestion.

You're certainly not being silly for being concerned about your health and anyone who says otherwise is a cnut who should be ignored. Have you tried bending the mesh into a more comfortable? If this isn't possible then I'd go with TPH's suggestion of attaching the mask to a helmet. Replica brain buckets can be picked up quite cheaply on Amazon or Ebay. My other half gets quite bad eczema and unfortunately 99% of the over the counter creams like E45 are absolutely useless

See the quote below

I'd like to know how useful that magpul is when jammed on like that

Brocock are a brand of air guns. Iirc this isn't the first time it's been listed and each time the ad was removed. You'd think the poster would've got the hint by now

I'm starting to feel this is appropriate

I'll have to disagree there, all my guns are totally stock and I think I manage to do ok with them. As for ghillie suits, I really couldn't give a monkey's what another player is wearing as long as they call their hits. The trouble is too many people think a ghillie suit is a magical invisibility cloak, whereas in reality the best camo in the world is useless if your fieldcraft is crap. Agreed. Although it does make me laugh when said bush wookie starts moaning about recieving friendly fire because their team mates can't ID them either

That to me is worrying. If it becomes a common occurrence there may be occasions where critical aid is either delayed or not given due to fear of possible litigation

Agreed on how light it is. With the stock folded it almost feels like a big pistol

Never had any 1st aid training when I got my licence. I'll find out if things have changed when I renew it later this year

Re the zip ties, no matter how someone tries to dress it up it's avoiding the chrono and therefore cheating. If you've passed on your feelings to site management and they've ignored you or fobbed you off then definitely name and shame them. Not doing so gives them a free pass to carry on and its human nature that if a person gets away with something once they're far more likely to do it again. As for the blank firing pistol, it does look a bit silly to me but I'd have no problem with it if used sensibly. Afterall many of us use BFGs and disposable pyros which have just as much potential to cause harm

So today I became the proud owner of a KAC PDW by Double Bell (like you couldn't guess from the title😁) and after a quick half hour going over it here's my initial thoughts. The gun came in a plain cardboard box with just a label showing what model it is and was held securely in place with a couple of cable ties similar to how kids toys are secured in the box. Also included is a high cap mag and dummy PEQ box for the battery but no battery. I guess they've realised nobody uses the cheap crappy ones that come with the guns so they stopped bothering with them. The first thing that struck me is just how little flex and rattle there is. Seriously, I've seen guns that cost twice as much make more noise. While part if this is probably down to how short it is some of it is down to the polymer used which is definitely of higher quality than the plastic used in many other guns of a similar price range. The stock folds to the right hand side of the gun and is unfolded by pushing the button on the left hand side by the hinge. It then locks into place on a small nobbly bit on the body of the gun. I was concerned that this could be a potential failure point but only time will tell. The only markings on the reciever are the safe, semi and auto around the AR style fire selector. I guess Double Bell either knew people don't want their trademarks or decided it's cheaper and easier not to bother, probably the latter but either way I'm not fussed. Forward of the fire selector is the ambidextrous magazine release where I found another potential problem. The button sticks out further that the shroud around it possibly leading to accidentally dropped mags. The sights are made of the same polymer as the body of the gun and while the front post appears to be fixed, the rear is adjustable for windage but not elevation. Moving towards the muzzle there isn't space in the fore grip for a battery so this is where the included PEQ box comes into play, or at least it would if the thing wasn't so small. I don't think I've seen a battery small enough to fit in there. The PEQ box disassembled with a lighter for scale. I don't think it'll fit anything bigger than a mobile phone battery. Fortunately I've got a couple of other guns with battery boxes so I borrowed one of those. First I tried an 11.1v lipo and was getting over spin every shot with it firing 2 shots on semi auto so I switched over to a 7.4v lipo. This solved the issue. The trigger felt like any other aeg but definitely felt more responsive and with a shorter pull than my galaxy MP5K using the same battery. Unfortunately I don't have a chrono or enough space to set the hop properly so I'll have to post on the performance at another time. The included magazine is a 180 round (according to google) high cap copy of the 6x35mm magazine but normal M4 magazines will also fit. One thing I did notice was that Double Bell have moved the winding wheel from the bottom to the rear of the mag Overall for first impressions I score this gun a solid 7.5 out of ten with points knocked off for the useless PEQ box and the other potential problems mentioned, but if these turn out to be unfounded I'll happily bump that score up. Now to get that gopping 2 tone paint off before my next game

This times infinity. There's no point in carrying stuff you're not qualified to use as it adds weight and you could cause more problems for the patient if you don't know what you're doing

Looks like a Mk23 socom with a suppressor Beat me to it, I was wondering what suppressor it is

Picked up a KAC PDW by Double Bell today. Initial impressions are good as it seems well put together with no creaking or rattles. I'll put up a more detailed post when I've managed to take a good look at it
