Great points I think I could split hairs with you but that’s pointless. I think we can agree that licensing is a good things and that there aren’t mass shootings in the UK show it is working as well. To say I want a gun just for the sake of wanting one isn’t exactly true but I do see your point. I think we will have to agree to disagree but I believe in the right to bear arms and I’m not going to change me mind but I realise as well that in the UK we will never have a law or society that for the most part will think that same as me and I can live with that. Bad people will always find a way of doing bad things. im not going to harp on anymore about this to the relief of all but just add that more regulation means less freedom.

Thanks for sharing, that’s really interesting to hear in terms of private sales and Quite a scary loophole really. However I still believe everyone have the right to bear arms as long they have legal checks and balances. Being. Perhaps I’m looking at from a personal perspective of know that I enjoy shooting as sport and take safety extremely seriously.

At no point did I say let’s give everyone guns that’s just a stupid thing to accuse me saying. The point I’m making in the UK you require licensing to own a real firearm so how many incidents do you hear of lunatic legal owning firearms licence holder going on a rampage and killing lots of people do you read about and how many gang related stabbings do you read about? seen some of these zombie knives they carry, they should be banned. Again should guns be carried in public of course not but there is an argument that the range of firearms you can legally own is too limited in this country and it will happen to airsoft as well I did enjoy the toxic thread lol I third the motion

I agree in a single incident probably but again how many news reports to you hear about young people stabbing each other to death and how many shootings?

Just seen this

Good point haha

Whilst I believe that we should have the right to legally bear arms in the UK I understand why we don’t and why people wouldn’t want that law in place. My point in a roundabout way is simply that more if we start imposing more regulations on rifs it will get to a point where they will be banned like in Australia. The government will simply pass one law ever now and again and before long we can’t go out anymore. The best way is to self regulate which is done fairly well at the moment but if the authorities hear discontent they will jump on it for political point scoring and we will all be classed as gun lunatics. with regards to buying weapons in the US I agree being able to buy a 357 at 20 but not being able to drink till 21 sounds stupid but I would argue alcohol and drugs are a larger public health issue that guns. there will be exceptions and lunatics but then anyone in this country can buy a knife and just go out and start stabbing. How can you stop the lunatics?

I think the narrative that you can just buy a gun in the US is completely false. They do a comprehensive background check on anyone that buys a gun. Convicted criminals can’t buy guns and with the right checks and balances it shouldn’t be a problem. Criminals will always break laws and obviously I wouldn’t advocate skirmishes with live weapons.

What we need in this country is something similar to the second amendment

I once was told off by a very young sgt maj for walking rather than marching around camp. Considering we were both in civvies after 5, after I had explained the error of his ways I didn’t know if to take it as a compliment or not haha. Just to clarify he was a spotty 17 year old cadet sgt maj and was 22

Just sounds to me like someone has appointed themselves a spokesman for the sport. No better than KM both massive ladies private’s

@Druid799 to me you are a veteran. You deserve as much praise as the old boys who served in the war. You did your part and deserve the plaudits for it

What about all the guys that have done multiple tours of the Middle East and Afghanistan. What would you call them?

Sounds to me like someone gone and fucked up and rather than admitting it they send a generic bullshit email out and will never reply to you

I get both side of this, I think the majority of ex military call themselves ex military but i do remember the days when there was hardly any recognition of the Armed Forces that there is now so if it helps people then good. As you have alluded to its the Walts that make it an uncomfortable word for people that have actually served imo.

As ex military I find myself thinking I can hard target into cover and using firing discipline. However I play for me and don’t interfere in how others play as at your normal skirmish it’s just about having fun so more power to people enjoying the sport as that’s why we all do it. At milsim events this is obviously different but people who go to milsim go for that reason. Live and let live, be honest and have fun.

I think you make a really good point here with regards to calling out a site, publicly naming them and putting your spin on why they banned you. But then also asking your followers to leave reviews in the full knowledge that the vast majority have never or will never go to that site is a cunt move and opens KM up to potential defamation problems if the site wanted push this. As the old saying goes you reap what you sow and i feel that perhaps having help create this narrative that airsoft is full of Cheaters the narrative is now biting back somewhat. I just want to add this still doesn't give anyone the right to publish his address and phone number online in order to harass and intimidate KM.

Jesus wept according to these YouTubers everyone is a cheater. Just watched another YouTubers view on this video defending KM. I think there will always be 2 views on him and his type of video however to hear he has been doxxed is frankly shameful. Simple solution if you don’t like his videos don’t watch I know I don’t If I can avoid it

£20 saving, what a bargain haha

Hi and welcome I’m pretty new to all this as well. If your ever round Tamworth/Sutton you’re more than welcome to join me for a game cheers GG

Back pack is worth at least 50 😜

you forgot with " Trusty Ex Soldier sidekick whom may or may not whistle when walking"

I just used normal spray paint, stripped mine, masked off areas put a base layer on dried, spray the rest. Let it dry and then used a non gloss clear coat

My missus thinks I’m a legend at getting deals, if only she knew the truth 😂

That is a benefit of being single. I just lie about how much things cost 😂
