    Those who want to govern are possibly least suited for it.

    They need to proof read it all again.  It is a litany of spelling, grammatical and stylistic disasters.

    The first two are covered by the universal law of "don't be a genital".
     
    The third one is more or less covered by private enterprise and forums such as this.
     
    Seems that once hit critical mass it tends to turn to shyte - NAF seems to cover this by all accounts.

    Back in the day, we in the heating and plumbing industry were pissed off with CORGI (Council of registered Gas Installers) who were the licensed body in charge of registrations and making sure we were all qualified and under some form of authority should we fuck up.  It had developed into not much more than a pain in the backside and were flogging insurance on the side using the data we were compelled to provide from our customers.  So a few people got together and formed ARGI (Association for Registered Gas Installers) to try and defend the interests of small businesses and sole traders.
     
    The parallels to these UK Airsoft bodies is striking - it was little more than a knitting circle that had the right intentions, but no clue what to do and even less authority to do it.  Certainly made no difference to the industry or the rules and regulations.  It ended up imploding with the key players arguing like drunken housewives.

    I think the person with the most confirmed hits or the biggest gun collection should represent airsoft, not some bunch of blokes who feel important enough to start their own "body" and like John Snow, know nothing.

    I'm wondering what these nimrods get out of it....  Surely no one ever clicks the links.  Especially on rather niche forums like this.... I mean - I for one have never missed a period.

    You can't put much faith in scales unless your paying hundreds of pounds.
    Mine cost a tenner tho
     
    As an example I weighed 6 .25g bbs.
     
    2 were .25 and 4 were .27.
     
    4 together were 1.00g
    6 together were 1.52g
     
    Repeatability was good but it looks like the error in each measurement is likely similar meaning much more at low weights.
     
    Worth getting a calibration weight or two if it matters to you.
     
    Or weighing in batches.

    😫 Oh no! I've never had a period, should I see a doctor?  Should I click the link??
     
    But more seriously, it takes them very little effort to just run the tool and have it spam everywhere.  It's probably targeting the host or tool used by this forum rather than the forum itself.  The more spam they more chance they'll find an idiot.
