Yes and it was tuddenham. Dropped into the middle of building 5, found on a barrel between buildings 3 and 4. I would have a problem with it. Nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide was an approach used by the Nazis and pretty much every oppressive state since then to put more and more monitoring (spying), It's a slippery slope. I like the guy who used an airtag on his pyro.

The site in question have a rule that you should leave all pyro where it is and not move, even if you think it's more helpful, it's well briefed. For this example, it was thrown into the middle of a multi room building and there were several places it could have been placed to make it easier to find. Instead it was completely out of the building on a barrel, some distance from the building. My point was though, even if it had been stolen and I replaced it, financially I'd still be far better off than if I'd bought all of that as disposable pyro. I've used bfgs at many Stirling events (15+) as well. Yes my local site reacted well etc but I'd encourage people not to ignore the possibility of bfgs as they can be a huge cost saver.

Just as a counter. I've been using re usables for over 10 years, I've gone through at least 400 primers in that time and have 2 (had 3) reusable grenades. Never had one stolen and having done the maths have saved over £1000 in pyro costs for it AND I still have 2 bfgs that I could resell. Once at a game I threw it, 3 marshalls saw where it was and when I went to collect it at the end of the game, it wasn't there. The marshalls called it out loud and said nobody was leaving until it was found....it was miraculously found about 20 metres away, outside on a barrel. Likely had been stolen and dumped when they realised the marshalls weren't just going to ignore it. Even if it had been stolen, the return on the investment Vs pyro have been so good I couldn't talk them down. Theft does happen, but sensible use and follow up can mitigate the risk and the savings Vs disposable are so big that even if you account for it being stolen every 100 throws it's still worth it.

Thought this was of some relevance. https://www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-help/how-to-save-a-life/how-to-do-cpr/learn-cpr-in-15-minutes Online CPR training for something we are most likely to experience.

Raise with the head marshall/site manager for both of those instances. Blank fire can add to the immersion of the event, but I'm sure no site organiser would want to alienate customers who don't want it included. It might be that they add in a "we plan to allow X person to use their blank fire pistol today, if anyone objects X person won't" etc. The coloured zip tie thing is cheating other people's health and safety and absolutely has to be dealt with. If after being given the opportunity to manage these things they continue and the head marshall is aware. Name and shame the site on a forum/Facebook and vote with your feet by not returning. If you don't name and shame, it effectively encourages sites to bend for regulars etc and puts other players in a position of supporting a company that has practices that they wouldn't support or puts them at risk of serious injury.

I have a couple. 1 Is your typical plasters, ibuprofen, paracetamol, competed, immodium, tissues. Your booboo one basically. Any minor injuries, ailments etc that you wouldn't need to inform a marshall about and just deal with yourself. It's come in super useful especially some pain meds that a friend had to use when his back went out at a very remote 3 day milsim. He could barely crawl, 24 hours later, some pain meds and hot water bottles and he could then at least walk and sort himself to be able to get home. My other is a full on tq, hemostatic combat gauze, Israeli bandage etc. I do some real steel shooting and while theres a massive focus on safety, accidents happen. A lot of my kit is used for both hobbies and it's a pain to take it off, the weight isn't much and it means it's always there. I'm not qualified, but I have done some research on the usage and I figure if I've been shot (by accident) I'd rather some have a vague idea and the kit than nothing at all. My view is that this isn't treatment, it's hoping to do enough to keep someone alive until they can be treated by real medical people. I'd like a couple more full on life saver ones, primarily for the car should I be in or near a serious incident

Thanks both, have done so and there was a very slight bend on the nozzle loading arm, applied some head and bent it back to shape and it's working like a charm now. I think I caused it with a BB double feed during a reload

Having an issue with it now venting gas, getting more and more consistent. As it's happening to pretty much all the mags, I figure it's an issue with the rif. As per the pic, the bolt sticks in the position, if I then pull the trigger it vents. My theory is: 1. It's bolt bounce, I've added 10ps to the stock tube but maybe the gas is too powerful and I need a weighted buffer. 2. There is an issue with the nozzle and it's catching on the mag /lips and it's stopping it from going into battery as normal 3. It's something else and I have no idea. I'd rather not buy parts on the basis of "it could be that" so does anyone know with confidence? Truth of the matter is money is tight at the moment (recent baby!) and I've been considering selling this, as much as i Iove it.

These look pretty darn cool! I'd be interested if they became available. Would love an event they were compulsory at

I now have a TM MWS, it's awesome but it's not for everyone. Previously I have had a GHK M4 and it was problem after problem, some of it was lack of user knowledge, but simple things like I had bbs get into the trigger mech because I took a mag out, popped the rifle towards the sky while getting my next mag etc. I lost a big percentage of the game time available due to the number of malfunctions. I only ran C02 mags which made it worse. I haven't owned a WE, but my understanding is that they work most of the time in good weather, their QC isn't great and there is a lot of aftermarket support for them, once tweaked they can be quite good. But to get to the same level as an mws takes time, money, parts, blood, sweat and tears and financially you'll be in a similar spot. After my GHK I then got a tm mp7, frankly I think this is now the best gas gun I have owned, but I had the itch for an MWS so it got sold to fund that, I wish that itch hadn't happened. The MWS is ok, I have had some teething problems with it (getting enough gas into the latest generation of mags) and some bolt bounce issues on hot days. The MP7 didn't have any of these, the range, accuracy and consistency was surprising. I would suggest using your normal aeg, use mid caps, but then only do 9 ish pushes from your speedloader into each one. Run them as low caps for the day and see how you feel. Using a GBBR is an awesome experience in my opinion (financial issues may force a sale unfortunately) but there are several areas that aren't favourable. Cons Lack of ammo vs enemy, (in some games this has a bearing, you're effectively a rifleman against support gunners. ) Gas prices Noise (giving away your sneaky location) Weight (that high cap user has a lighter gun, no spare mags and no rig). Price expect your rif to be around 60% of your total spend. bb cost for heavier weight bbs juggling performance of the rif for the weather (hot weather, heavier buffer, weaker gas) Pros That awesome feeling of winnning a firefight at such a disadvantage Regular reloads Recoil thats worth having After the amount I have put into Gas with the results I have had etc, the GBLS DAS isn't that expensive!

I agree with Jim, doesn't sound like much of a friend. I always find there is 1 "friend" in every group that makes money or takes the p out of the others on stuff financially. I can't see any ngrs that's been upgraded by unknown parts by unknown techs getting more than £500 and even if it was the best tech in the world.....your tech who fixed the wire has effectively made them irrelevant (as he could have introduced God knows how many issues). £400 is around the value id expect you to achieve.

Pretty sure it's just a rebrand of the kwc CO2 1911 Cybergun (I think) did 4 different re runs of it and referred to them as rail gun 1911. Rwa also did a bunch of them as the nighthawk custom. I have a spare here somewhere but the seal has gone (common for CO2) and I haven't bothered figuring it out.

It would spin the motor, it just spins the motor the wrong way as you have reversed the polarity (man, this sounds like some back to the future stuff). Assuming there is an anti reversal latch that would prevent the gears from turning. If the motor wasn't properly seated and therefore not engaging with the gears, this would explain why it did turn before it was seated properly (not engaging gears) and didn't turn when it was seated properly (engaging gears).

Check this first, easy to do and done several times!

I've been playing for around 11 years now, I've done lots of big weekend events, pretty much every skirmish site within 2 hours of me and it's consistently good. The site is great (like there are buildings, woodland, scrub, trenches etc) but it's the attitude of the people running it that matters really make it consistently good. Gunman own it, but the site managers have a huge impact on it, over the years it's been up and down. It's on a big upward trajectory at the moment.

Did a filmsim day at Gunman Tuddenham on Saturday. I really enjoy the fun, positive attitude that they have with their players, all about improving the game play in the field. Well delivered brief etc. The games were even in the structure of in game respawning off buddies, but one side was attacking and one side defending (with some great cover), so it became very stagnant, repetitive and energy sapping with 3-4 minutes of walking to get to the hard respawn and then the walk back in etc. It was only around lunch time when the respawn rules were changed to reflect one side was attacking for basically the whole day that the games actually developed the way they were intended and objectives achieved. As always, great hit taking and sportsmanship. I felt like I'd had it handed to me all day, I don't get to play as often as I'd like and feel out of the groove when I do get to play, same kit etc. Maybe its the larger waistline and lack of familiarity of how it all feels. It also cemented the ideas I have been having about my rifs and kit, so will be listing several pieces this week as I can't justify the money invested vs the amount I get to play and the experiences I have with it.

Sounds like a treat and worth looking forward to!

I miss Stirling events so much.....but with kids at 5, 2.5 and 3 weeks means it's going to be a long time til I can get back to doing weekenders

He's recently posted that he is going to stop making eye pro and only fulfilling orders he already has, hopefully you're on that list! Sounds like simunition to me, probably banned in the UK and getting something to run them isn't exactly easy (or legal!)

You cant tease a new site opening without giving more info away than that!!! I have seen mixed reviews on the lambda mk48 they released, but there are so few gpmgs available I guess having another option can only be a good thing!

Seems like a whole bunch of negativity recently (and I'm struggling to find events of interest).....so....... What event, Weekender, thing, product, game style etc is coming up that you're excited about? Can't think of anything? What would you like to see? I'm pretty excited for the milsim esque night games at gunman tuddenham to coming back. I've got the excitement bug back for a classic skirmish day and gear wise I'm stripping bs stuff but realistic kit (eg, losing the pistol, spare pistol mags etc on a rural kit).

Both reference a ppq as well, both in Scotland and both called euan....this must be the same thing. He said they came round and he told them he showed them his collection, they say they raided him with a warrant.

I wonder if this was the guy that was on here recently asking for advice on a very similar sounding situation?

Got the magazine issue fixed. Used abbey gas all day and it ran like a champ, it must be the plastic nozzles. Also I found tilting the mags (as per the oli talks airsoft vid) had a huge affect, more than he said it would. My guess is that they have refined the length of the gas tube, but I'm not brave enough to take it apart.

are you sure thats the correct cover for that helmet? Looks like an ops core style cover and mtek flux style helmet. Essentially, I'd suggest lining up the hole in the cover with the night vision shrould and then tucks the bits you can under the helmet retention system.
