aha - i thought this was a typo of 'DMR' - I stand corrected!

deleted as I now know what a 'DSR' is!

Is this for checking a MED? Because I'm not sure a range based holdover/under really translates into Airsoft physics?

well done, and thank you all!

I think that's tracers all over- undeniably fun to watch, they just seem to put you at a tactical disadvantage. A well zeroed red dot, backed up with the occasional use of a weapon light seems to be the best compromise that I've found for low light or night games.

Yep, I can't get to the home page at the moment.

I suspect for considerably less money, you could get someone to machine a version. I would presume the standardised spec for a qd socket is available online, that just needs to be backed with a correct length/diameter post that is female threaded at the end.

I can't see any logical reason why it wouldn't work - the two factors for the ability for the mag to fit would seem to be the catch (same for both, as evidenced by the ability of the 19 to take 17 mags) and the positioning of the magwell. I'm not sure what the benefit would be unless you have a surplus of 19 mags. Kind of creating a reverse 19X.

And to be fair, the ethics of emulating Rhodesian Security Forces is, at best, controversial. Which is a great shame, as brush stroke camo is utterly epic.

Very much a day of two half’s at Driver Wood yesterday. For me, the morning was a rather frustrating affair, and for the first time ever, I left a game slightly early to head for lunch as the enjoyment just wasn't there. The morning revolved around two games of circa 1 hour - although with the larger numbers now experienced at Driver Wood since the demise of DogTag (I think there were 117 in attendance) the game time was eaten into rather a lot by dawdling players (despite pretty good efforts from the marshalling team to chivvy them along). A slightly garbled brief from a relatively new head marshal (although by far not the worst I’ve experienced), which ended in the team count being messed up, with one team having 40 players more than the other. As people were already grabbing their arm bands when this was identified, it seemed to only be partially rectified. The two games that then unfolded were excruciatingly one sided, most notably the final game of the morning - my entire team was pinned into a 40- 50m radius around our spawn in the corner of the site, barely able to move out of it before getting shot. Tempers were flaring up as well, with several shouted arguments between opposition players (not sure if it was just one 'bad apple' that was the root of it) - something that I haven’t really come across much before at the site. I also received a bit of verbal aggression myself when i attempted to re-spawn at our teams second spawn (Driver Wood have a 'hard spawn' and a roaming spawn marked by the teams flag) to find that the enemy had captured and surround it, despite our team flag still being there. I know the opposite team didn't have the best couple of games either, with some of them complaining that our team 'just weren’t moving about' (well - there was a reason for that!). The afternoon was much much better - the numbers were lower with some leaving at lunch - and the teams were re-balanced (properly!). Some great game play, once again able to pull off some sneaky moves, and use the full expanse of the site. Guns used - HPA L96 (not shooting as accurately as I would have liked), M16 A1 (with faux wood furniture), Mk 12 DMR, MP5. The Mk12 and MP5 were the stars of the show, particularly pleased with the Mk12 as I had built that from parts (supper accurate and long ranged), and the Cyma MP5 - with a simple upgrade to a MR hop rubber - was shooting beautifully (accurate and snappy).

These used to be issued with the SA80. Mostly always sacked off to the locker to save weight.....

Looks like you need to bin that tiny motorbike to free up some essential space. It will make all the difference.

Ah, sorry to hear it! My E&C G34 functions very well indeed - not that it helps your grief! WE mags work well in mine. Lovely looking set of pistols there - hope you get it sorted soon.

No idea whether it was as a result of a hot gun (but as the thread has taken a bit of a swerve, i'll mention it anyway!), but the first game I wore my shiny new bolle X800 knock-offs (bought from a legit UK retailer), a BB launched from at least 20m away shattered the plastic fitting that the elastic strap was fixed to, and they pinged off my face in the middle of a pretty hefty assault on my position from the opposing team. I'm sure the lenses themselves could have taken a huge amount of abuse, but there are other weak points (and possibly those weak points are not actually subject to testing by the manufacturer against the various standards?). Super bad luck - definitely, but I now inspect any glasses I wear these days for similar such weaknesses.

To be completely honest, I have a number of well set up DMRs, a well set up HPA Sniper (L96), and an assortment of AEGs. The most accurate, long ranged, and consistent of my AEGs (a bone stock Krytac) has almost the same real world performance (range and accuracy) of the DMRs and Sniper. The extra 1J between them doesn't really count for that much in the real world. But - that’s not to say the play style that comes with each category isn't fun, and its nice to mix things up a bit. From the above, it sounds like this is half your aim? Unless you are indicating that you aren't going to be playing with it, but rather just using it in the garden. In which case, i'd venture that a garden that is big enough for you to shoot an airsoft sniper within is also big enough for you to construct a half decent backstop and enjoy the infinitely superior accuracy of an air rifle. But if its is a blend of ultimate performance and aesthetics that you are after with the sniper, and you are after a light bolt pull (with the gas system you specify) - maybe consider building a half decent rifle up from a cheap VSR (Cyma are often used as bases) or an L96 (e.g. a Well MB01) - throw in a load of parts (the building is half the fun), and consider one of the these parts being an HPA drop in kit - e.g. the Mancraft SDIK.
