Thanks for the links. The Etsy is not a physical download but a PDF. that looked promising until it said PDF yet some of the reviews talk of receiving the items along with a gift. That makes it difficult to take to a print shop to get them to print off as they would need a copyright waiver off the author. Funny, google just wouldn't serve me anything like that when I asked for "top secret" papers, etc...

My lads birthday soon and I am toying with the idea of hiring a site for the evening for him and his friends. I have designed a game that is not the usual single objective, it needs some props and wonder if anyone knows where I can download the LARP kits that offer materials for role play games, scenarios, you know the sort of documents "Top Secret" and "Classified" with blurb inside. One of the objectives needs to be hidden amongst such paperwork. I am stuck on the search term as everything I look for turns up documentation on how to plan and make and nothing like the "in game" documents props I am looking for. If anyone knows of any resources, free or paid, please let me know, I am all out of hair to pull.

I was a functional alcoholic for many years. I know all too well the long term effects of alcohol. Reporting to the police, unless you have evidence or proof, if you have concerns, then those matters should be the judgement call of the site operator and not the police who may turn up and ruin everyone's day or cause the site operator issues. IMHO, rather than outright accuse someone behind their back, playing it with care that "You suspect that <player> is a bit worse for wear" and let the site operators speak with the player, any good operator would know a sobriety test and perform both a visual assessment and any obvious odours and perhaps opportunity for the player to defend themselves. I say this because I went to work one day after being at a house party. Lets say my "Odour" was from being around plenty of people who had been using something. What happened at work, well they subjected me to a covert drugs test, found nothing untoward as they asked me in the office. A member of staff had commented to management that I was using when I wasn't. Nearly lost my job because of it. You have to remember that you are messing with peoples lives here, while you may be thinking that you are doing your public duty, exercise caution because things do not always appear as you think.

In the words of the late Bill Hicks... There are Two people in the carpark fighting... Are they Drunk or are they Stoned... I rest my case. No a lesson my dad taught me. If it aint hurting you, affecting you, stopping you from enjoying your beer... MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Frankly, anyone using any kind of self medication like cannabis, won't be running around at an airsoft site, so I think the main worry is alcohol IMHO.

My most recent acquisition (via this site) Took this puppy out for a walk on Sunday, its bites...

Exactly.

That may be true but you have to understand the reason. While fps is the accepted measurement, it is not a measure in terms of joules. Measuring joules over fps is more accurate because it will easily show up a hot gun. All the airsoft sites I visit all use Joules as it is the safer way of ensuring that someone is not trying to subvert the chronograph process and will be ousted. While joules is the energy in the BB that it carries, on a 0.2g the difference of 0.05g on a BB affects if fps but not the joules, it just means that the BB being slightly heavier is able to retain its initial energy much better and on impact, deliver a bigger punch. This sort of thing is the sort of ballistics thing that you would pick up if you were a target shooter, pest control, conservation, hunting and other shooting sports, also applies to archery and any other machine or equipment that throws a projectile, the joules input will determine the fps and the amount of energy on impact over distance as the amount of energy expended in the flight of a BB is why they can drop well before their target and that can be anything from the BB itself, the humidity, temperature, if its raining, etc. There is also the aspect of the game where the line of sportsmanship is crossed and people intentionally seeking maximum power to just inflict pain on people, ruins the game. This weekend there was a cheater running at least 0.28 or 0.3 on a 0.2 site, people were complaining, I took many head shots which I am not bothered by normally, these left wounds and drew blood which does happen from time to time but not lime what team mates were commenting on about, they looked bad. It depends on what kind of game you intend to play and what you play your game with, do you cheat and ignore the rules or cheat and hurt people. The choice you make does relate to what sort of person you are in psychological terms. What I am trying to say is running hot guns and higher weight BB's than the site allows takes all the fun out the sport, especially if children play like my son who is as big as an adult but only 14, he gets mag dumped from time to time. At some point Airsoft will have to clean its name up by removing and banning all bad actors in the sport and hobby (for many).

There is a reason for discharging LIPO's that are not being used. Typically, you charge, use and then if not being used again, you check the voltage and then charge if needed otherwise you can elect to do a storage charge. What this does is stop the collection of oxygen at the anode and lithium ions at the cathode and prevent the lithium oxidising and going nuclear when the lithium oxide causes an internal short. The storage charge prevents this, keeping a cell on full charge and not using it leads to cell degradation early. Remember that you get about 150 to 200 cycles out of a cell, so caring for them is helping keep them in peak condition and able to deliver the currents demanded of them. safely. Capacity of your cell or number of cells do not matter, it happens to all Lithium even 18650''s

Can you prove it was bought in the UK?

Sorry.... All I can say is if the barrel is not properly located or the returning spring located in the receiving hole is not fully seated then you may encounter the issue I encountered when I nearly jammed the slide on my sons Glock and it got stuck, the reason was that the barrel was not properly seated and said spring was not located in its receiving hole and slider locked up. Have you not seen any Youtube Videos on this pistol where the owner strips the pistol down?

HMRC can be funny and with the current situation in the UK and this government's money grabbing claw-back that's now in operation, they want revenue from where they can milk it. So is it wise to import anything of high value at present?

Missing parts...

Where is the slop in it? You can try packing with a shim along the longitudinal length of the body to see if that works. If it does, then affix in place with a string glue of thats suitable.

Only fix there is to pack out the rail with a shim to hold it in place but not too firm that you can't get it off...

I knew it was a bad idea from the moment he asked to borrow it. I have only test fired in the house, he used it in the field and broke it. Annoyed, a tad, given its about a week old. I am further annoyed by the fact that the box does not have the correct inserts, the inserts are for another pistol I have, checking that box, the inserts are there... So either the shop messed up or the factory messed up. Does anyone know where I can get an exploded view of the Tokyo Marui Tactical master M92F? Also... His G&G Warthog is also in need of part, when I got that out to clean it, again, noted that it had damage, this was in addition to him ripping off his front grip and the rail with it. On the G&G, does anyone know what size screws (hex round heads) these are? (Item 13 in the exploded view) Any help appreciated, especially where I can get spares from. G&G GC16 Warthog 7.pdf

Just asking about Green / Red / Black gas here. When do you swap over and what do you use? I know it says on the cans 5 degrees celsius, today was warmer yet the pistols were emptying of gas after several shots. I asked the site and they quoted 5 celsius. Is this standard for sites to stick to that temperature advice? If I am expending a full magazine that should last up to 3 reloads, gone in half a magazine, then would it be fair to say the call should be mine as I understand its not good for the magazine seals or pistol when that much gas has to run through the system to throw a BB out. Opinion, wisdom, thoughts? All are welcome.

Not as powerful as people think, there was a huge debate and some people pitched that type against the micro PC fans and the Micro PC fans won, which is why I suggested them.

A bit dumb shipping on a trailer with curtains, you'd need to be considering a solid box for security... Well, someones kids are going to be well happy this christmas given that the media are advertising it as cancelled this year...

If you want a fan, suggest you seek a couple of micro eg. off fleebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184895460335?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338365712&toolid=20006&customid=EB21120406&amdata=enc%3A10jc5wJxxSmKaHXwX49pDxQ33&_trkparms=ispr%3D1

Couriers and postal services are fickle. I had 2 gas struts for my car delivered by ... ROYAL MAIL. Returning for an RMA, sending via ROYAL MAIL ... REFUSED at the counter. The reason... Car Parts. So its a game... I used to work for TNT and the route I had included 4 RFD's where I would regularly be delivering ammunition, shotguns, Rifles and Pistols... So, couriers, pick one and ask, if the price is right they will ship it.

Training? The sport / game is for all abilities, so given that many ex-military guys and girls attend airsoft, possibly the best way to learn new skills is if you pay attention to how they play. Keep an eye open for youtube video bloggers who are ex-military in the airsoft community. They will likely have plenty of material that you can absorb information to give you more scope in game play.

What does one look like?

Well both pages in links provided are gone... so I say that this is suspect having seen this before as a move by some unscrupulous people to then deny warranty claims or refunds and claim that they never stocked the item. So this would be suspect trading and based in the UK the guy is risking heavy fines, especially selling knockoffs or the method he is using, bait and switch which is illegal to do.

... also, just to test a theory, there is more than enough room in the breech for a BB to make its way in to the hammer action. I am wondering next, how multiple BB's were being fed in a single shot pistol. I just can not fathom that bit out.
