Killbox: Taking Airsoft to the next level
Cannonfodder replied to Killbox's topic in Other Events and Meets
Not sure of the detail. I did find this though https://www.lawcom.gov.uk/app/uploads/2016/08/No.134-Criminal-Law-Consent-and-Offences-Against-the-Person-A-Consultation-Paper.pdf Page 7 section 1.2 A person is guilty of the offence of assault if- (a) of another he intentionally or recklessly applies force to or causes an impact on the body (i) without the consent of the other, or (ii) where the act is intended or likely to cause injury, with or without the consent of the other -
Killbox: Taking Airsoft to the next level
Cannonfodder replied to Killbox's topic in Other Events and Meets
I'm pretty sure the whole consent thing doesn't mean shit. I'm sure I remember hearing about doms at an S&M club being arrested for assault, despite having consent from subs. Killhouse might want to read up on the legal side of this if he doesn't want to end up in court -
Yes. Also you have to be 18+ to be able to buy pellets. There are other laws regarding the sale and use of airguns which aren't relevant to this discussion so I won't go into them.

Double Eagle M904g – Aka the Original Q Honey Badger

I'm not sure I want to know which site has a big black........ -
Airsoft, finances and mental health.
Cannonfodder replied to Wavey_Gravey's topic in General Discussion
Not sure what more I can add that hasn't already been posted, but there's some great advice here As someone who has struggled with debt and mental health issues I fully understand how appealing that new gun feeling can be, only for it to go very quickly and be replaced by the shitty feeling that you're still in the same position but more skint. When it comes to social media I find it's good to remember that what you're seeing is an extremely edited version of what's going on in people's lives and occasionally taking a break from it for a few weeks can do your mental health a world of good, especially the airsoft groups on facebook. All the whinning manbabies on there really make me dispair for the future of the hobby so I left almost all of them -
There are other laws regarding the sale of airguns. IIRC all sales must be face to face at a registered firearms dealer (you can still buy via mail order but the gun must be sent to a RFD for you to collect). Also you need to provide your name and address to be recorded as the buyer

Killbox: Taking Airsoft to the next level
Cannonfodder replied to Killbox's topic in Other Events and Meets
So it'll be a stupidly high price for a very short time. The more I read about this, the worse it looks @Killbox "provide your blanket consent to being verbally abused, touched, shocked, force fed, restrained, tied up or subjected to any of the other actions or behaviours which one might reasonably expect from a military scenario." Am I allowed to fight back in these senarios? -
Killbox: Taking Airsoft to the next level
Cannonfodder replied to Killbox's topic in Other Events and Meets
How much are you charging for this and how long does the event last? -
Exactly. They're not giving out any information that you don't already have, just confirming it's correct
-
The trouble is that, while we know he's talking bollocks, others may not and his ridiculous advice may cause someone to have a very bad day

Killbox: Taking Airsoft to the next level
Cannonfodder replied to Killbox's topic in Other Events and Meets
So it's pretty much an escape room with a bit of target shooting. I think I'll pass -
Yes you're correct and your mate is a fucking idiot. If it wasn't for the potential reprecussions for the hobby I'd suggest letting him fuck about and find out.

The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Cannonfodder replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
The 2 times I've been I found both staff and other players to be friendly and welcoming. One thing I do like is that they seam to have the right balance between not sitting around waiting for the next game and not feeling rushed to kit up for the next game, unlike some sites I've visited -
Approximately 30 members of the SAS were involved in the Iranian Embassy siege. So far I've met 1500 of them in pubs

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Cannonfodder replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I picked up a pair of boots from Mountain Warehouse. Unfortunately they started to split after 2 weeks and so went straight back for a refund. It's not a good sign when both the ladies behind the counter say that most of the footwear they sell is utter dog shit and should be avoided -
The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Cannonfodder replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
A very special friend as he gave him a "hand" To stop this from being spam I'd better say my last game was at Ambush Airsoft near Cobham on the 12th and it was a great day, despite the MP5 battery dying 30 seconds into the last game. Still, I had lots of fun with the shotgun which got a few admiring looks and comments about it what it's like to be on the receiving end of it Hope it gets sorted soon. Despite what we may say in jest, your health and staying out of a forever box is more important than dicking about in the woods -
Halfords camo paint comes in green and is only 7 or 8 quid a tin I'd guess the reason few guns come in green is because all the cool kids like squeal team 6 use either black or tan guns

Sniper sidearm AEG / green gas or CO2
Cannonfodder replied to Guy elson's topic in General Discussion
If you're thinking MP5K (I was going to suggest that) then take a look at the galaxy ones. I run one as a primary and the only issues I've had have been down to me being an idiot. As above regarding upgrades. Don't even think about upgrades till you've taken the gun to a game as you may find nothing needs doing or you'll spend as much as the gun for only an extra few feet of range -

You mean we're not all arseholes? To the OP, if you're wanting to do target shooting at range you'll get better results with an air rifle. Not only would it be cheaper but the gun will be far less likely to shit the bed at those power levels and accuracy will be better (there's a reason real steel guns switched from smoothbore and balls to rifled barrels and bullets)

I asked my other half why all her knickers have flowers on them. She replied "it's where the accident happened"

Mechanix gloves : M-Pact vs Fast Fit
Cannonfodder replied to RostokMcSpoons's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Like you I always used the cheap chinese gloves till I picked up a set of the fast fit gloves last year and they've definitely lasted way longer. Here's what they look like now Considering I use them most days for cycling to work most days I think they're in pretty good condition. As for protection from hits, you'll certainly feel them but they do take the sting off -
