Some interesting tips on weathering in this video.... Your paint job thrre looks pretty good to me @RostokMcSpoons.

Pistol kills are particularly satisfying though...like my one against Riot Shield guy the other week...got him right in the neck. 🤭😎 They're handy for kamikaze runs against an objective where rifles slow you down. But that is a very small amount if time.

As above. I've spent money upgrading a gun, and it was great. I've also bought a budget gun, and it's equally great out of the box with a few attachments. The tech I used to upgrade my Specna was Cage Airsoft (https://www.thecageairsoft.co.uk/). He was reasonably priced, quick and helpful. But if you go with an M4 platform, frankly, it's pretty straightforward to work on the gun yourself with all the pointers here and elsewhere.

Twice I've asked a Marshall to check a potential cheater....once it was confirmed that I was indeed doing an admirable job of stripping the tree he was hiding behind of bark, and that my bbs were only just reaching him. Second one turned out (on reflection) to be a flag poking out from behind a tree. Felt like a plonker both times.

COD sliding as I call it is great fun, but does tend to give one awkward to reach splinters and holey trousers.

Not sure what can be done. Avoiding kneeling down like this... And more moving around like this... (sorry they just uploaded the pics from yesterday so good excuse for some tacticool 😁). Not quite as serious as heart palpitations, so I hope @Impulsegets some solution to that.

Is it because the magnus effect helps stabilise the bb's flight in the barrel. Without it, the bb literally rattles it's way down losing all it's energy?

Welcome to airsoft 😂😂😂

FFS, I just got the joke LOL. I'm a bit slow this week... To much brain power expended dealing with family and general bullshit.

Cheers @RostokMcSpoons, the 6th time it popped out was enough to end the day for me. Usually it resets straight away, but this time it took 2 hours and still isn't quite right this morning. Shame though because the morning games in the good weather were pretty epic for us on the blue team. Particularly the raiding of the military items. We got all of ours pretty quickly when attacking, but on the reversal, the otherside didn't get any as far as I know. Especially funny was when 6 or 7 people were running up a path in the open and 2 or 3 of us just opened up, putting an end to that particular push. L85 was rocking again... Although the boy's parting gift was to change the riser for my scope which meant not only was the zeroing totally off, but he didn't tighten the mounting screws enough, so that was a running repair for the morning. I didn't think the hit taking was too bad, only one instance I noticed, which in hindsight could have been a flag tied to a tree looking like a protruding leg. 😨 What was frustrating though is when the game relies on constant pushes to keep the other team suppressed, but the younglings and rentals, for obvious reasons, are chilling at respawn shooting themselves or the trees. As mentioned though, my knee decided to keep popping out of its joint, to the point where Carlos had to help me walk to a suitable fallen tree to recover, that was the 5th time. Then ironically during lunch, it happened again when I got up for a second helping, and, even when it reset, the pain was too much. Tried walking back to the war zone for the afternoon session but had to give up. A couple of kind gents ran to the game zone to recover my remaining pews and ammo and I went home. A bit gutting because a lot of people left at lunch and I assume the smaller numbers made for a more intense afternoon.

Duly edited LOL.

4 is plenty IMHO.... This scope was originally on my Rapax DMR. So it was partly for looks as much as anything else. I was shooting either using the 3x setting or the top mounted holosight. I occasionally used higher magnification to look for targets, but the field of view is too small for shooting once you consider the accuracy of the gun. I have a black and tan pair of these on my L85 and Specna for regular stuff TREYTECH 4x32 Airsoft ACOG Scope Red Chevron Fiber Scope Glass Etched Reticle Real Fiber Optics Scope (TAN) https://amzn.eu/d/ezz2zSb

As above, it's a good field, but take your own lunch. The crashed plane and Road areas are my favourite, but if you have a pew with good range, attacking the village from the ridge is a laugh.

Well last weekend was the boy's last gameday in the UK, so we went to AWA. He was in his usual Afghanistan deployment outfit but with a twist..... A socking great Japanese flag as a cape. Which looked like a suitably sized target for airsoft purposes. They've upgraded the bunker with barricades which make it even better. We had a friend with us too so he had my Specna and I alternated between the L85 and the Honey Badger which is currently sporting a massive 3-9 zoom sniper scope as a joke. Which turned out to be a good move. Both pews were working bang on, allowing me to rack up a record number of kills. First game was one where the winning team was the one who's coloured tin was on the pole outside a kill house at the end. My usual banzai attitude to these games kicked in so it was rushing the house repeatedly getting shot, but also getting a tidy pistol kill against a riot shield when I left the L85 behind for more speed and COD style sliding. Riot shield guy got his revenge later with the Touching Cloth game as he also had an RPG.... Which he unleashed on me when I rushed the bunker, and shot me from about 4m away. Fair enough - no MED was specified at the safety brief. One of the better games of the day was where the attacking team had to storm 2 houses to capture two sets of tins then get them into the third as the defenders retreat forming a stronger and stronger defense. Drils and skills kicked in and muggings here went in a bit of a rampage clearing the first house through the windows whilst other team members suppressed the defenders. Both inside and surrounding. Some poor sod got a couple of shots to the throat whilst one window was cleared giving a mixture of both guilt and hilarity. Final game of zombies was a blast too as us 5 zombies were a lot closer to the humans than they thought. Humans had to start in a kill house and leg it for cover, not realising that we were hiding just round the corner. Needless to say the dozen or so people running out of the main door were brutally turned to zombies before they even realised. Somewhat annoyed that the days there now finish at 15:30, but the day was pretty epic so will forgive them for now. Off to Spec Ops tomorrow with the boy's Specna (to test my repairs rrom this afternoon), the L85, Honey Badger and SVU. The latter of which I haven't used for ages because of having too much fun with the others. Fun times.....fun times.

F'ck off. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bought a pair so that the boy and I could communicate on gameday.... He only then used them as an excuse to push the "swearing is only allowed on airsoft days" rule to breaking point. Now he's emigrated they are going to wind their way back to Mr Bezos for a refund. 😂

Currently resisting the urge to buy my first GBBR after having a go with a WE L85 last weekend. 😒

Not sure I get what you mean?

Actually learnt a few things in that video - I didn't realise you were supposed to weave the straps on the pouches for one. Wonder if I will have time tonight before tomorrow to re run it all on my rigs.

Holy balls - you got issues man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 @son of dan would be very jealous if he were to log in and see this lot.

Don't forget to wear the right patches so the rest of the l33t can see you're a force to be reckoned with: 🤣

£23 each isn't bad if you can get a full compliment.
