  1. I took a trip down to Bunker 51 for the first time. On the whole I enjoyed it as the staff were friendly, helpful and knew what they were doing. On the down side I found there were some who seemed reluctant to call hits and needed 4 or 5 shots before calling it Also I'm glad I picked a mid week game as there was only 13 players on site. I got the impression that if the site was fully booked (30 is the max iirc) it would be far too crowded. All in all I think I'll go back, but probably not at a weekend
  2. A GSR replica from airsoft world. All I can think say is that if you're thinking of getting one don't bother, they're shit. When trying to change the mesh for the clear lenses one of the screws holding the mesh mask in place refused to budge and rounded off the supplied hex key. Next one of the rubber bits connected to the straps tore off whilst I was wearing it. All in all it's a piece of crap and will be going back
  3. A blonde wslks into an electronics shop and says to the salesman "I want to buy this tv". The salesman replies "I'm sorry but we dont serve blondes". Upset she leaves and comes back the next day with her hair dyed brown, but once again the salesman sends her away saying they don't serve blondes. The third day she comes back with her hair dyed black. Again the salesman tells her that they don't serve blondes. Confused she asks how the salesman knew that she was blonde to which he replies "because that tv is a microwave"
  4. This, even with the fanciest breathable waterproofs you're going to get hot running around. Personally I tend to wear a regular smock as while it's nowhere near waterproof the rain helps me to not get too hot as I like to keep moving, but if you're the sort to sit in a bush then something a bit more waterproof may be more suitable. Whatever you decide to go with remember this quote from Sir Ranulph Fiennes "There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing" I have very little sympathy for those who don't dress for the conditions and then spend all day whinning about being cold and wet
  5. When it comes to airsoft youtubers he's definitely one of the better ones. No clickbait made up bullshit or trying to make out he's the airsoft equivalent of Jason Bourne unlike certain others
  6. That 5% is like a cancer and will grow as others (not all, but some) see people cheating and getting away with it, and decide "if they can do it so can I"
  7. There was a dvd released years ago (called airsoft guide iirc) where an aeg and gbb were tested to see how much water they could take. Both were able to be left submerged in a fish tank and were able to fire just fine (although the water resistance meant the muzzle energy was very low). As for other kit, even the cheapest Chinese made webbing or BDUs should be able to cope with a soaking so if it falls apart after that then, yes you do need better kit. I agree that you get idiots everywhere, but certain events tend to attract certain types of players and it's down to the organisers to act when the idiots play up. AI seam to have trouble doing this. As for the retort of "play better" that's not so easy when the teams are so unevenly stacked that one side is unable to move. Once again this is down to the organisers to sort out. The website and fb page giving different info could easily cause confusion as not everyone is on facebook, or follow airsoft pages and so could easily miss something which is updated on one but not the other As you posted, you can only go off your experience, but likewise I can only go off mine and wasn't great
  8. Not marshaling but taking photos I learnt this the hard way, a player could only see my head and fired thinking i was opfor. Fortunately I took the shots rather than the camera and since then I tied a hi vis around the hat.
  9. I disagree. Some people are just fucking stupid. It wouldn't surprise me if someone did it with the intention of setting the sprinklers off. Also if your kit is going to be destroyed by a bit of water then you should probably get better kit (not that it means such behaviour isnt twatish) But the discussion is about using a rif with a muzzle energy within site limits. Saying a rif can't be used just because it's got a magnifying optic, regardless of the muzzle energy shows the organisers are either incompetent or just can't be arsed. This combined with the way the rules differ between what's on faceache and the website and the way they keep changing don't give me confidence that they won't fuck it up again
  10. He's probably into that sort of thing
  11. Sorry, but I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than pay money to that bunch of cheating cunts who couldn't run a bath, let alone an airsoft game. @Dalerj94do you have some connection to AI? It's just that you only post in relation to their events and you're the onlt one who has something positive to say about them
  12. Just wait till you get to level 2, collaborate
  13. I'd be more surprised if a thread did stay on topic Sorry, byt the Tiger has to be the most overrated tanks of ww2. Yes it was well armed and had decent armour, but the Maybach engine was underpowered, unreliable and over engineered. This meant it was slow and drank fuel like it was going out of fashion. All this meant that the tanks at the front were reliant on long complicated supply train where advances were limited due to fuel issues and tanks needing repairs to be taken all the way back to Germany. Also there's the sheer weight of the vehicle. At 50 tonnes many bridges were simply unable to hold that weight. Another problem with the Tiger is the production cost. A single Tiger cost the same as 2 panzer 4s or 4 Stug 3s
  14. Thanks, I needed a good laugh. The only group of men he could gather are probably banned from going within 100 yards od schools and playgrounds
  15. The one which haa been used will have scuffs, scratches and signs of wear
  16. Nice, it certainly looks better than the gun rack I made out of an old pallet. I must admit I read that bit and wondered where you were going😁
  17. Maybe I should've worded it differently so here goes Never been skirmished is the airsoft equivalent of a used car salesman saying "one careful owner"
  18. With the number of adverts claiming guns have never seen a game site I'm surprised sites actually have people playing. Am I the only one who buys guns to use?
  19. Fixed that for you From what I've heard from mates who've done reenactments have said, many of them are such stichbitches they'd put most airsoft geardos to shame
  20. I'm guessing he's the sort of bellend who thinks any German made car is the height of luxury, no matter how old and knackered it is This is one of the reasons Bodgeups gave as to why he stopped filming
  21. Bloody hell they're fugly
  22. The idea of a "hardcore" game tends to be brought up every couple of years, usually by some insecure child who thinks they've got something to prove
  23. Imo theres a simple way to determine if an airsoft gun is a rif. Ask yourself if waving it around in your local post office wod be a wise idea
  24. Hot guns at the NAF? Next I'll be told bears shit in the woods and the pope wears a silly hat. The op on zeroone sounds like a right tit
  25. Thats a very poor strawman argument there as I've seen what professional make up artists can do and Miss Heard's attempts were amateur at best. Istarted watching from a neutral perspective and was quickly able to tell how much of them were nothing more than click bait manufactured drama Have yoy actually played airsoft, or have you only watched YouTube videos?
