Well that was one day of airsoft that I don't want to repeat. By lunchtime I'd packed my gear up and was no longer shooting as the locals appeared to be made from Teflon and were impervious to hits. Play was stopped after some numpty threw a LOG over a wall, shouting grenade and nigh on knocked some poor unsuspecting bloke out. ? I laid 15 rounds into a guy (3 shot bursts) every single one bouncing off him, including a few off his noggin with a marshal watching and nothing. Nada. To prevent fatalities I gave up. Went back to the safe zone and grabbed a coffee. The Marshalls couldn't give two shits if you complained..unless you were a regular. If a 13 year old comes back to the safe zone telling me he doesn't feel safe out there, then there's something wrong. Genuinely never going back. Sorry dogtag airsoft in Crawley, unimpressed.

I think the thread is the important bit. It's v small, in a fine pitched m6 kinda size. I thought the gas valves were imperial (may be lack of sleep doing that though ?) I'm trying araldite just in case, you never know .. ? Failing that, I'll plug the hole and drill n tap a new one, if I can figure out the pitch/sizes.

I said something very similar to that...? Even the dog looked at me, like "wtf was that" ??

So there I am, in my tellytubbies pyjamas, asleep in my bed when at 4am I'm woken up by a sharp loud hiss noise. My brain went "that was a mag vent noise". Out of bed, had a look at the mag rack, nope, all is well. Ah, probably just my brain reacting to that cheese from under the fridge that I ate. Back to sleep. Only, I'm getting my gear ready for tomorrow and check my storm 360 grenade is all good. Which it isn't. ? It appears that the gas inlet valve has had enough and has bailed out of the grenade in a very grenadey way. I cant find it, I was half expecting it to be embedded in the cieling ??? The threads have stripped and left a very clean exit hole ?? Damn. Not sure araldite is man enough for it.... Any suggestions?

You local then CF?

Used to slosh it around on all sorts as an apprentice....I'm amazed I'm still alive...???

That stuff is evil! Somewhat pungent too!!! ????

Pointy is scarier.....?

If my kids are involved about twice... ?

So, as kind of a 6 month update on a three year update, i thought i'd chime in... Martin has left now completely. He suffered some serious bereavement over xmas, losing his mum and his son. Which is s shit sandwich in anyones books. Jon has full control now and Dimitri (the mad russian) have been busy beavers. The village has been extended with extra structures and cover, the trenches have been redug, the safe are has lighting and the marshalls are on point. Which is all good. The toilet block is STILL coming but alas has not made an appearance yet. The hill is still a killer (and i'm not getting younger!!). The shop is getting bigger and the food is getting better each time i go, although the lunchtime queue can be a bit painful. They've been trying to put on night games and Milsim type stuff, but i believe Jon has been uber busy sorting out the shops at several other sites. I still go on saturdays when i can as i usually have the boy and his "hangers on". Havent been on a sunday for a while.

Me and one of my mates were there (in the sleet n bloody cold!). Havent actually played there yet! Everyone seemed to be having fun. At least the parking and the seating is good. We've played the one up the road from there (dogtag, i think).

Greetings oh hive mind... I have a few leaky valves on various things and i'm wondering where everyone gets their valves from? Or is it worth buying a set of the microscopic o rings and trying gynaecology?

So...after three different outfits, light grey, dark grey and bronzed black, I gave up and went mainstream..... It's not much to shout about but 1.1j and not too bad to look at now.. ? Cheers for the ideas. ??

Oddly, I was in there yesterday. We ventured into London for some moon experience exhibition thing with some visiting friends and happened to be walking past. Lots of TM stuff in there (with tags to match) and the guys seemed ok. Nearly bought an m93 until he pointed out it was an aep. ?

It doesn't matter. As long as you like it, it's all good ? And inside a year you'll have one of each anyway.....???

My favorite little unknown shop. ? Tiny little unit in the arse end of nowhere and I love it. He's got a LOT of stuff in, mostly nato with a smattering of weird and wonderful. Oh and some really cool bikes (his other business is repairing and servicing bikes). So some dpm trousers and a gsxr1100 may take some explanation to the Mrs ...? Went down yesterday and as always he was happy to let me n the boys just go nuts. ?

When my boy slapped his mp5 handle off, we looked at it for a while, then tapped the tube, drilled and tapped the "knob" then cut a bit of stud to the right length, thread locked it into position and job done. He can hk slap to his hearts content. Which he obviously doesn't do at all now. ??

I'm stoked. My project pew has been delivered. I've always wanted one and now I have stage one..... ??????

Only stupid question is one you don't ask. ??

When you Chrono the gun the marshall should tell you if you have an med or not. At 1.16j you're still in auto/AEG territory. Have you worked it out or have you chrono'd it? On what weight ammo?

My boy has the same issues... he's 13 and slight. So he's tried all but one of my pews in my armoury. The L96 is nearly as tall as he is, so he's not bothered. He sports a P90. Sometimes with the M4 mag adaptor on it, making it a sub machine support weapon!!! LOL. He's had a Ump45 and i ended up cutting the stock down and making it shorter so he could use it. He tried the M904G i have and seems to enjoy using it (although it is a beasty so that's probably why!) and regularly sports his pistol and a riot shield because he's nuts. He tried the AK47 and being a cyma its light but too long, making his arms ache. The G3 was a 10 minute wonder and is WAAAAY too long for him. TLDR: P90. Tune it and it wont matter, cos you'll be unstoppable.

Jees, didn't even know this was here. (Oddly my first Saturday job as a kid was right next door to that. ) Is it any good? I've heard random rumblings about hassle there but I'm not one for believing hearsay.

I've had a whipround in the workshop and ive got £2.86, 3x M6 washers and an inline crimp. Should just about cover it.

Too much boom in that, you've cracked the concrete...
