Good call. In my experience they last far longer than other similarly priced gloves

If you haven't already I highly recommend a pair of gloves, especially for CQB. Take a hit to the fingers or knuckles and you'll understand

Hello and welcome. As others have posted the Nuprol is a good choice for a starter gun, don't think that more expensive always means better performance. Also don't start thinking about "upgrades" till you've used it a few times. This way you'll have a better idea what you want from it Well done on avoiding the usual newbie mistake of buying a whole load of kit that you like the look of that gets used once before being consigned to the back of a cupboard.

I take it you don't have any indoor sites nearby? I've played in strong winds before and it can hilarious or bloody frustrating watching your shots fly away

His car is a piece of old crap too iirc 24 hours after liking this post I realise it's going to take me 3 hours to get to my next gameday thanks to the trains not running

You guys are being very forgiving with still giving out warnings. I'd be just deleting the offending ads

Into cryptocurrency too. Clearly not that bright then

It's always a shame when shops close down (minus a couple of exceptions where I'd probably smile a little if they went under). Unfortunately that's the nature of retail though, bricks and mortar shops need to be located where they'll get customers walking in and by their nature these sort of places will have higher overheads like rent and business rates which invariably will be passed on to the customer. Tbh I was always surprised at A2's old shop in Little Chalfont. A little village didn't exactly strike me as the best place for a shop in such a niche market

Cant count. Different numbers given for how long he was in

I saw one of his videos from Urban Assault a few years ago and the number of obvious hits he shrugged off and carried on playing was ridiculous I've seen jelly that wobbled less. I'm sure any ex squaddies would know how long they were in for https://www.whitespheretactical.co.uk/product/boneyard-tokyo-marui-mp7-gbb-tan/6342?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=true&q=false Alternatively you could spend £40 more and get a new one with a warranty that works from the same shop

Normal is overrated

Definitely taking the piss, as @Tacklepposted, UTG are a a low quality Chinese kit manufacturer. The seller is bullshiting. As for the whole site spying on visitors, this what happens when you click ok for cookies To me that cheating twat touching it should lower the price

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
