Ask an airsofter that looks friendly about their gun, even if you think it looks like shite. No doubt they'd love to chat about it, and then you're already a foot in the door!

Man. That’s a work of art. I’ve been tempted to get one to actually skirmish it for a laugh but I don’t think it would be viable even for that 😂

Could you get a closer up shot of that flintlock at all? 👀

Excuse my ignorance, but other than stating they'll have a website up soon, what stands out as them definitely being a retailer?

My guess is because Ukara requires a payment as a physical retailer to check defence and to my knowledge only retailers (Including sites) can access the Ukara database directly - Meaning, they're wanting to set up a shop, and get the customers to essentially "chip in" so to speak on the cost to access the database.

Any idea if you could modify one of these denix models to fire the shotgun shells? Would love an airsoft musket...

I used the supplied high cap, my own PTS midcap, and also a nuprol mid cap. Same issue regardless. I called them today and they're accepting a return to have the issue fixed, which I'm fine with. Due to the scuffs from having optics mounted they can't refund me, which is fair enough. If I got a refund I'd only end up ordering another one anyway 😂

Hey, I use "NUPROL Battle Pro" and have done for the past few years. They have an "insert" version, which you can take to specsavers etc and have them fit your prescription into them. I believe it cost me about £36 for the prescription to be put in, they do a range of colours too and they're not expensive. I believe they also make goggles with inserts, if that's more your style.

Most people: Happy with TM GBBRs/AEGs Me finding a springer: 😎

Yeah I’m gonna give them a few days with it being the weekend & bank holiday, then give them a ring Tuesday. It’s definitely a first for me too, I’ve never had an issue with any pistol or rifle like this where the fps has major inconsistency. You’d think at £500 almost it might have some good QC lol Hopefully it’s something simple and they can get it sorted for me or replace it 🤞🏻

I literally got it yesterday morning so it’s well within the return period haha

That's my main concern too, the fps variation is awful. I was chronoing on .20g bb's yes. I cleaned the barrel out earlier and it took 6 pieces of cloth to clean it, and the FPS was a little bit more consistent, but still low. I actually have the "Specna Arms SA-H21 EDGE 2.0" and it's absolutely fantastic, but wanted to upgrade to something with full trades because I'm a sucker for authenticity. Sadly it seems I've got a lemon, because reviews I've seen all say how good the Umarex A5 is. Externally it's all I could ask for too. I'm hoping PB will respond and allow me to send it back to them to have whatever issue(s) it has sorted out, but I put my optics etc onto the rifle so it has signs of use already, hopefully they won't refuse to touch it because of that. 🤞

Yeah, I saw that on their site. Wouldn't be the first time PB was wrong though.

Despite the low FPS it’s firing at a decent distance and has some power behind the shots. I did notice that I need to pull the trigger twice on the first shot for the BB to feed, not sure if that’s also normal as it does have a mosfet. I’ve emailed patrolbase when I found the low fps but no doubt it’ll take a while for a response

It was this one: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/umarex-h-and-k-hk416-a5-aeg-rifle I believe it’s VFC The full metal version

Bought an Umarex HK416 A5 AEG from Partrol base yesterday, chrono’d it today and this was the results. It’s my first Umarex AEG, Is this normal for them?

Same problem me and many others had with the site I mentioned too. A fair few people have stopped playing there based on poor marshalling from literal teenagers.

Blank pistols at a skirmish is ridiculous imo. If it’s a milsim/immersion then fair enough, but I don’t think it’s needed at all in your average Sunday skirmish. Loud noises send me into a panic, one of my old local sites marshals (who was about 13, but that’s another story) decided to constantly fire a blank pistol at the start of games and randomly throughout the games. Made the entire day awful for me 😂

The best https://www.somogear.com/product/somogear-peq-15-ir-laser-illuminator-uhp-full-power/ The good but affordable https://www.tangodown.co.uk/lasers/912-fma-peq15-la5-c-upgrade-version-with-ir-lenses-fde-7360542473674.html Depends on budget, and what you want to do with it. Somogear has a budget option too, which eleminates the IR stuff and is just your standard VIS stuff.

I was in one of the safezone containers at splatoon yesterday and there was a few guys firing inside, barrel socks off. Luckily the mags was out and the chambers empty but as they was rentals, that was definitely due to luck rather than them checking it was clear etc (Not that it excuses it) admittedly they was taken care of by a marshal, but still not ideal. Prior to the barrel sock rule, somebody was shot in the safe zone during an airsoft event which is why I think it was introduced. Personally I'm a huge fan of it as it does eliminate a lot of the risk, but only if people use their due diligence and actually adhere to the rules set by the site.

£60 for 4 pre-owned mags, or £35 for 4 brand new mags (https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/battleaxe-150rd-enhanced-grip-polymer-magazine-for-ar-15-m4?pv=13150 When they're in stock, which won't be long because they're common)... A tough decision
