I'm a happy bunny when my L85 and the boy's Rando Long Specna hit the (I think) A3 sized 30m target reliably with their 4x sights. The other pews in the collection recently can hit it, but probably a quarter of the time by comparison. As said earlier, we're firing battery powered muskets. Not rifles

Child, you have more pressing concerns. I can see your school grades online remember....better keep them where they are. Or the L85A1 will find its way here.... https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/1-electric/ 🤗

One of my clients commented that he was surprised we'd only put our hourly rate up a tenner since he'd last used us. I just said "I don't want to be part of the problem".

what happens when we say Double Eagle in a mirror 3 times at midnight? 😅

Well..... no .... because then I'd feel silly with my Osprey body armour complete with brassards and neck collar. 😍😳🤬

Exactly.... a double Eagle for £160, a couple of mags and a battery brings you to £200, and all you really need then is eye pro and a decent set of walking boots. Anything more is cosplay larping, tacticool and completely unnecessary. Bloody good fun though 😁 How much does a use able fishing or golfing hobby cost to get started?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Money pit? Who said Money pit?

Why don't blind people go bungee jumping? It scares the shit out of the dogs. Man the videos this channel make are hilarious.

Every two weeks usually, sometimes more. In the run up to the boy emigrating we were sometimes doing two a week. Expensive but good father-son bonding. I maintain that, once the equipment is bought, Airsoft is one if the best value for money days out..... £30+BBs per person, and i get a 7 to 9 mile run, lunch and, when the boy was here, a fun day without fear of disobedience. Once I've emigrated next year I will only get a few chances a year probably, so im packing what I can in.

kinda like the cannabis situation in Holland - or at least it used to be in the 90's 😆

Hows about one of these? https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/gearbox-shells

One of the reasons I have a special Photo Album for Airsoft - I won't be able to play the UK very much from next year, but I might like to buy a pew every so often, so my UKARA is going to drop off soon. Hoping this kind of thing will help when dealing with shops here. As far as I know there is no requirements in Japan, as I just walked in and bought guns there last year, even managing to use my passport to get the VAT back. All online places have asked for my UKARA, but only one physical shop has insisted on it.

Like the time I was at Airsoft Plantation (I think), when we were encouraged to do a flanking manoeuvre... I went wandering through shoulder high ferns only to disappear very quickly down a massive hidden dip - much to the amusement of those behind me.

Yep - I wrote that half in jest, half seriously - you'd need a marshall at the back of every game just to make sure people didn't take the piss. I'm 45 years old, 6'7" and 130kg usually wearing a full plate carrier and camelbak. That's a lot of gravity to drag around all day at full clack. 🤣 Driver Wood is a great site - my criticism would fall in line with the above about the respawns being a long way from the action fro no real reason. Certainly in high summer where the line of sight can be pretty short. Ic an see a reason in the winter when there is less coverage from the trees. The safe zone is one of the best, I've been to possibly along with High Wycombe. Having only been the once, and having a "personal down day" I can't really fairly comment on the way teams are put together and the marshalling, but I didn't notice anything too bad.

I hear you there brother. I think dispensation should be allowed for bigger/older players to get well out of contact with the fight, but wait the requisite amount of time before going back in. As long as they are offsetting the walk by the effort they put into the game. 😁 Just seems a waste of game time and energy sometimes traipsing up a dirty great hill LOL.

I also see if I can latch onto someone with actual experience in the forces - had a good run with a couple of ex army lads at the RIFT Battlesim - learnt a few things, even though my knees won't allow me to do them now LOL. I still remember that game where @RostokMcSpoonsand I held one of the kill houses in Ping Ping city for most of a game racking up a silly amount of kills. Knowing the sight lines and sneaky points of a site is super important. Actually just realised my first sentence could be read in several different ways 🥴.

As a fellow Spec Ops player this weekend I am feeling all the runs on the lower back and knees still. A fun day was had of course. Baby Specna is not firing consistently, but then that's why we have backups and backups to the backups, then the friendly pew to keep them company. So The Double Eagle, L85, and Rando Long Specna we bought from here for £120 were guns of choice with the latter being possibly the most fun due to its fancy scope and laser like firing - marred by a few lockups. The bridge building game seems to be the marshalls new baby and it is a great game as there are three distinct phases for both sides to attack and defend through. My only wish to change is the respawn point for the defenders when they are holding the tents during the second phase needs to be a bit further away (not often you'll hear me saying that). At the moment the attackers have very little chance of breaking through unless you have a very speedy and or stealthy boi to get in and out - I think @Gunboat Diplomatwas the closest to achieve this. As the dead players are back in hte game too quickly. When we were attacking I was one of the bridge builders and did a pistol only juggernaut charge through the trees and planted the flag somewhat amazed that I wasn't shot. Out of breath, I promptly tripped over a root and knocked what little wind I had out of me. Even after slowly picking myself up and looking around (think of the beach scene in Saving Private Ryan looking around shell shocked) I realised I still wasn't dead, and the marshall looked at me with the "why are you not shooting people" look, so I spun around with the pistol and promptly shot someone less than 15 feet away. He half challenged me thinking I was dead to which i replied "well you should have shot me then". The rest of the games seemed to flow pretty well, and I thought the hit taking was pretty good on all sides, with the exception @RostokMcSpoonsmentioned where some of the newcomers considered being shot through slots to not count. I know at least two on the blue team will have a nice collection of welts. One was the father of the "player of the day" who was hiding behind a barrel. I was pinging him with my pistol (BB's flying so slowly there was no doubt where they were going) with no call - so out came Mrs AEG and her high cap of 0.28s 😁. His punishment was also that his daughter was nominated beast player of the day winning a free game day - and she was pretty handy for a first timer at the age of 12. So now for her to have the prize he has to come back and pay for his day - and by default I am sure, the younger brother will insist on coming because talking to him - he had a blast of a day too. He took great delight in coming up to me laughing at how he got me from under the sniper tower. The rolling retreat game was also a lot of fun - the defenders (a lot of whom were young kids) were well set up in the tented city; to the point where we were struggling to break through. I managed to clear two particularly troublesome tents by again dropping the rifle and going in with my pistol. It was good to see the younglings having fun and taking part - although a few on our team did want to have a chat at respawn instead of charging back in. One tent had a disgruntled man in there who, when he was finally shot out, complained that one of us wasn't taking his hits - well the marshall who was playing on our side in the afternoon was thinking the same thing about you - good job I got to you with my pistol before he did with his LMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣, because he was the next player coming up behind me. Had an interesting chat with some South Africans who played the game there but with the added bonus of having choppers flying players around the game zone - makes RIFT's Snatch Land Rovers seem a little meh by comparison LOL. Next game day already booked for two weeks time - hopefully my aching bones will be ready for more punishment by then. Once the leaves start dropping I will be taking my SVU so I can try some sneaky peaky roles instead of my typical Juggernaut Tree Felling charge style.

Just tried a different set of callipers... Whelp...I'm supposedly throwing crap away by this weekend. Guess I only need one measuring tool anyway.

doh! I didn't even see your reply. The OD of the threads is 21.8mm according to my calipers.

The grub screw is a tiny head as well. I thought mine was a pin at one point.

Ah the joys of British military procurement 🤣🤣🤣🤣
