  1. Been the only one in the office this afternoon. This has not been good for either my productivity or my bank balance 🙄

  2. Is it just down to the size of the marketing budget?
  3. Hello & welcome. Am yet to venture that far for a game but never say never
  4. Haters gonna hate. Physics is physics, we've explained it to death. Hope you raised any issues you have with the marshals and they dealt with it appropriately - you've not mentioned if you did or not? If Anzio's got lower limits for HPA, prob best you play there in future. You do bruise like a peach though, I play loads of CQB and while I look like I've done 10 rounds with a swarm of mozzies the day after as I only wear a thin top to avoid overheating, there's nothing like that bruise around it. Plenty of those HPA boys at my CQB too, never had any issues. Only had a BB break skin once when I got shot just above the eyebrow, I do believe that was fired from a GBBR.
  5. Hello & welcome. With all those pews I'm guessing you're not new to this? 😉
  6. looking forward to a few things: playing more, life's got a bit hectic of late giving the MP7 a run out the eldest's birthday when he'll be allowed to play too off the back of that, potentially playing a full day outside as the aforementioned hectic life (kids eh!) currently means I've only played CQB, mid-week, in the evening hopefully seeing the boy's enjoyment after his first game and not heading home for an early bath
  7. The press officer is just that, if you want to effect change you need to go to the right part of the organisation, go and speak to the chairperson or secretary privately where the conversation can be constructive. There are ways of doing things and I don't believe that you'll get the answers or change you are looking for on a thread in a forum. Better still, if you really want to make changes to the way UKAPU is run then get involved, elected officer or not, I'm sure they'd welcome your passion for ensuring things are done right. Happy to sign up for UKAPU if anyone wants a nomination for a position at the next AGM - once they've given proper notice and we get the nomination in more than 45 days ahead of the vote of course. Personally, I'd not heard of UKAPU before this thread, it's been interesting to find out what they do.
  8. Hello and welcome (back-dated three years 😉)
  9. What are you if you drive a Subaru backwards? U r a bus Why isn’t there a pregnant Barbie doll? Because Ken came in a different box.
  10. This. Weirdly the website says max 350fps on a 0.2 (1.13j), but in the same sentence says they chrono at 1.3j using 0.25's - which is it? 1.3j is kicking on for 375fps on a 0.2. Of course it could be a typo and it's missing the extra '1' but I'll bet someone's setting their pew up for 1.3j "cos it says so on the website".
  11. What’s not helping are the amount of YT videos out there that give the wrong impression of what we do - it’s not kills every few seconds, everyone’s not a cheater and pews aren’t laser accurate. Spoke to a guy last night and his only impression of Airsoft was from stumbling across YT videos and the above is exactly what he thought we did. Of course I set him straight, but that’s what we’re up against when trying to attract new people into the sport. I don’t think interest in general is waning, it’s not the kind of activity that shouts about itself, so it’s pretty hard to gauge anyway. I’d say that growth is organic though with players inviting others along and getting them hooked.
  12. glad it's all sorted, have always had good dealings with them - although I've not needed a refund for anything so far.
  13. Hello & welcome. Sounds like you're off to a good start 👍
  14. Personally, I've found a Carrera 2S is all you need and generates so much grip you really don't need the 4S. Although the 4S is very popular as it's got the same wide-body as the turbo (minus the air intakes on the rear arches) and the continuous light-strip for easy identification. oh, it says 1911 not 911 ... as you were 😉
  15. I thought The Accountant sums up my profession rather well - it's not all grey suits and tax returns you know 😂
  16. Sorted. Although sat here looking at both, I'm wondering why I didn't think of that in the first place. 🤔 Thanks all
  17. Simple question: I want to number my mags, what kind of pen do I need? (presuming a chalk pen will just rub off) Thanks.
  18. Welcome back & congrats on getting wed. I guess 5 years off airsoft probably allowed you to save up for the wedding 😂
  19. 👆 This. I can't think of a single scenario that successfully moves the US away from tens of thousands of innocent people giving their life every year just so that others can have the right to own a gun on the off-chance they need to overthrow the government - let's not get into the debate that when they had the chance they opted to fight to keep a corrupt government in power, the exact opposite of what the second amendment is all about.
  20. The wording posted above states one of the markings from 1272.3, one of those is an orange muzzle which is pretty much what they have now right? It appears that the US could do worse than adopting our VCRA rather than anything the other way around. What I can't work out is what the problem is that this is trying to solve? If they're hell-bent on registering stuff then surely they're better off registering all the actual guns first / at the same time? I don't recall ever seeing a news story that said 'mass shooting stopped by 76-year old Grandma with a Smith & Wesson', they all end with either suicide or shot by police. In fact according to this article a whopping 3% of active attacks were stopped by a civilian over 21 years, that's 13 in real terms - or to put it another way, 0.62 per year. Let's face it, if 'MoRe GuNz' was the answer then America would be the safest place on the planet, but it seems that in reality that's not the case.
  21. Just tried using my current sling on the MP7. No amount of adjustment’s going to make it work.

     

    Any recommendations?

      What actual sling is it? While I hate bungees with a passion, something like the PIG Ring Sling, Blackhawk sub-gun sling or the copies thereof (like the TMC GI style MP7 sling) would be my suggestion.

      Have a 2-point slingster thanks to a prior recommendation here. Just found there’s a 1-point version which could be the thing (albeit an expensive thing).

      The current 1-point is a cheap didn’t-know-any-better bungee that got swapped for the slingster on my 308, I was thinking of re-purposing but it doesn’t cut it.


      Will check those out @Lozart, I think it definitely needs to be a sub specific sling.

      The 2 point Slingster is really designed for longer guns, the single point might work but it could well still be too long.

       

      You could also look at the Magpul style slings though as they will adjust up pretty short.

  22. Nice range. Weeds are nothing a drop of Roundup won't fix 👍
  23. Thanks for the replies, plenty of food for thought but good to know I could run both without any issue. I hadn't no, which is daft as the pistol is mounted on one! Now to work out which route is going to work best.
  24. Context: I've already got a DC shooters belt, it's got a holster for my pistol as well as carriers for pistol & 308 mags. But then I went and bought another pew so need to work out what to do when I want to change toys mid-gameday. So, am thinking a minimalistic chest rig could be a goer but are they wearable while also wearing a belt? or do I need to swap mag holsters in the safe zone (not ideal).
