Madhouse

Had a good game at Z-Mart last night. It's been a while since I'd been and they've continued to improved things, which was probably part of the reason why it was the most people I've seen on a Thursday night - there were over 30 of us playing. Took the bro-in-law too, so to keep up the ruse that I don't have many pews, the MK18 was a 'loan' from a mate so he could use my 308 - shhh don't tell Mrs M 😉 Games were good fun and varied, you can easily lose 30-odd people in an old debenhams, so you could still move around if it's looking like you've reached a stalemate in a particular area. There were objectives but I don't think anyone was ever declared a winner, which is fine by me. They've done more with layout so some less useable areas are now more in play which is nice (that big open bit downstairs if you've been). Added bonus is they've dropped the price, so £15 for an evening shooting people is very reasonable indeed. As for the pews, the 308 was it's usual dependable self, I gave the BiL a hi-cap to save him having to worry about mags and it stopping on empty, the only issue he had was forgetting to wind it. The MK18 was great, it's actually the first time I'd used it in a game and it was all I'd hope it'd be. As I splashed out on a nice pew I got a vortex and olight to adorn it and they added nicely to the experience, I'd already dialled in the sight and found it easy to obtain a target and it definitely helped make the most of that TM magic and get me a few kills at range with a tight line of sight. The olight's like mounting the sun on the end of your pew, don't really need to say more than that. Sidearm was the FNX, it gets used more when using a GBBR as it's quicker than reloading in a firefight and it got at least one kill too. It's still my favourite pistol, if I had a ton of mags I'd happily just use that for a game.

Having previously fitted the RA-Tech NPAS, I swapped it out for a Jaeger Precision one today because the RA-Tech one is such a faff to adjust. The Jaeger one's definitely an improvement. After briefly flirting with 1.4J after installation, I'm now at a much less spicy 1.05J. That'll do nicely.

Well done! Having taken my eye off the fitness ball of late, I'm now up to 15 stone. So this is just what I needed to kick my arse into gear!

Just don't call it (kicking) mustang!! 7. could be Jorit - then when it's tea time you'll be sure to call Jorit's Santa's not bringing me any airsoft goodies this year, he has got the elves sourcing me a new turntable though.

Kit is all pretty generic inexpensive stuff - apart from PPE, I never skimp on that. The MWS is my most expensive pew, but it'll get used plenty and probably outlast my playing days. It's still cheaper than cycling, especially when you discover you need to replace two frames in the space of about 6 weeks! (luckily the main bike was the second one or I'd never have got the replacement of both signed off by Mrs M!) I also took 'I suppose you'll just get one anyway' as approval, which - PSA incoming - it isn't 😂

My bike's still powered by cake, but I've a couple of mates who have e-bikes and they find them great fun, both are on Specialized Turbo Levo's of one variant or another which are way over budget and far more bike than it sounds you want anyway. That said, my parents have the hybrid style ones and they got plenty of happy miles in them without any major issues. TBH if I used a bike to commute I'd probably have one just so I didn't turn up a sweaty mess every morning.

A man's lived with his wife for 25 years and all that time he's told her never to look in the safe, but one day the wife gets curious and while he's at the pub has a look. In there she finds £40,000 in cash and three eggs. Upon his return from the pub she asks him about it and he eventually agrees to tell her. "Every time I've slept with another woman I take an egg from the chickens and put it in the safe" Well three affairs in 25 years could be worse she says .... but what about the money? "every time I get a dozen eggs I sell them"

Mine's our house nickname from Uni, kinda still applies nowadays although rather than studenty craziness it's two boys (three if you include me) and all the hobbies - airsoft, football, MTB, surfing, snowboarding, paddleboarding, cricket, rugby, athletics, gaming .... and many more! - basically there's always something on 😁

It's a much better idea to be arguing that the site test a pew as it's intended to be used i.e on the ammo going through it in-game. After that the unit you use becomes less relevant, although joules is easier to apply because the limit is the same whatever the BB weight and therefore less numbers / conversion charts are required thus making chrono clearer and easier for all concerned. IF they're doing random in-game chrono's then joules must make that easier too? I'd go with an argument that shows the site that there is a benefit for them to make the change, they want people talking about a great game day rather than moaning about hot guns and having to buy some 0.2's just for chrono.

Just throwing this out in a devil’s advocate kind of way: If you enforced a post count and a scammer abides, would we then be giving them some kind of false legitimacy? A questionable PM from a new user is a slam dunk, you might think a bit longer if they’ve got 50 posts. All buyer beware at the end of the day though.

Bassist here! Late-comer to the party (2019), always fancied it and when the eldest started learning I said I would too. Obviously his Squier Mini-strat hasn’t been played in ages but I still play regularly. Here’s my Ibanez SR370.

1) no idea. But more gas is better than no gas, it's not like it goes off. 2) 0.2's are fine indoors, all the reasons for heavier ammo go away indoors. 3) You'll only fail if you don't have fun. 4) To go all speedi-boi you'll need an HPA pistol that takes M4 hi-caps (or a drum mag) and lycra. The only potential problem you'll have is a lack of mags, but it'll probably prove to be a fun deviation from the norm.

and round is most definitely a shape. You totally beat me to it there!! Hello & welcome!! As has been said, a lot of us are old gits here and what is it with 'music' nowadays, it's all disposable throw-away rubbish that's got even less longevity than Liz Truss. What happened to bands who play actual instruments and write music? That said there's pockets of yoof who appreciate proper music, was very pleased to see some at a recent Smashing Pumpkins gig proper singing along to songs easily twice their age. Even the dance music in the 90's was better!

My mate said this after he got one. I got one. I don't regret it one bit 😁 That said, it did cost me almost the same again in mags and you'll want a proper sling mount for the rear. People do say parts are hard to come by, although I've no experience of that as it's not shit itself yet. Going from AEG to GBBR isn't for everyone though, I only used mid-caps in my AEG previously so was kinda used to it but you really notice how often you have to change mags and also how heavy they are in the first few games. One thing it will do though, is speed up your transition to a sidearm in the middle of a firefight.

Obviously by two, you mean four? gotta have a backup for when the inevitable happens.

I play in & out, .25's mean I'm within the limit for my CQB site while also being fine outdoors as long as it's not blowing a hoolie. As has been said, 1J's a good place to be. Set your sights up for outdoors and you'll be fine when using them indoors, yeah they'll be a smidge off, but we're talking airsoft tolerances here, your pew probably wasn't that accurate in the first place (apologies if yours does actually shoot like a LaZeR).

If said testers could post some screenshots & share their experience here too I'm sure there will be more valuable community feedback from those of us unwilling to be a bets (sic) tester.

Hello & welcome! I use the facepro with ear mesh too, because I don't fancy a BB in the ear but they'd also be pretty good a retaining a hearing aid. I pair it with Bolle X8000's and a baseball cap, have been thinking of trying a helmet but am concerned that one will just lead to me overheating and I also have a big head so also concerned one won't fit. Another thing you could do (if the three of you were thinking of using comms) is get something like earmor M32's which would keep hold of your hearing aids (assuming compatibility with ear cups), allow you to chat and protect your ears both physically and audibly.

There's nothing 'new' in this world, so what's your not-forum loosely similar to? WhatsApp communities? Discord? Signal? As a member of the public why would I choose yours over, say, here?

Pulled it apart, the pistol grip screws were a real pain and seemingly made of cheese - so they're getting replaced - TM crushed/broke a couple of O rings when they put mine together, so am now awaiting replacements before I put it together again with some additional PTFE tape on the inlet valve for good measure. Fingers crossed that'll fix the issue.

I believe they're mostly multi-mode and therefore you can turn off the muzzle flash if you want, I certainly can with the bifrost - along with sniper mode that'll also illuminate 1 in 4 shots or something like that. You'll find most of AceTech's stuff revolves around a couple of their tracer units and the real differences are just in the looks, I got mine because I liked the look of it and the muzzle flash is just a bit of fun - sometimes it's on, sometimes it's off. If you want something small I also have a Xcortech XT301 mk2 which I use on my pistol.

I've a Bifrost, from a tracer perspective you're looking at red or green BBs. It's the muzzle flash that's RGB etc and it illuminates any BB's / gasses as they leave the barrel but your BB will be either red or green. What a tracer is doing is subjecting your BB to UV light to activate the elements in the BB that make it glow, the colour is down to the BB itself. It's doing this as it the BB passes through the unit. You've then got the LED's at the front of your unit, which is the muzzle flash. This is independent of the tracer and is just a bit of fun really and is where you can choose colours etc.

Hi All, Had a search and it didn't yield any results, so here I am. I've a TM Breacher and yesterday when I inserted the gas tank it started hissing with a leak, the mag itself is fine. I've not taken it apart yet, but I'm figuring that either an o-ring has dried out or something's not tight enough, the issue's pretty close to the rear and from the parts diagram there's a couple of points where this could be the case. Anyone had the issue before? or taken an M870 apart? do I need any special tools? Am yet to use it in a game as I was waiting on some more gas tanks, ironically now it's developed a leak the extra tanks shipped today 🙄 Thanks.

Just give your site a shout, usually if you're already registered they'll renew for you anyway. Are there actually UKARA rules around renewing? the only bit I remember is the three games in no less than 56 days to get registered.

Welcome back. I doubt much has changed
