Indeed! It is possible that they checked previous employment, but I have never known them to do so in my sadly rather regular dealings with them. I think I can smell something that comes out of the back end of a male Bos taurus.

So, the site owner who called me a liar and banned me from the site for stating that it is permanently closed is a liar who banned me from a non-existent site. ?

That sounds interesting. I like semi-only sites and what you have described sounds like it might be good fun. It is a bit far but I know somewhere I could stay overnight nearby.

I have bought stuff from them with no problems.

Today was an invitation game day at Airsoft Plantation; 42 trusted, honest and excellent players, including some of the marshals and the site owner, were on site for the day. Oh, and so was I! As I wanted to finish setting up the ICS Masada, I had even more rifles with me than usual, much to the amusement of one of the other players, who also expressed shock that I had something that looked rather like an M4. The first game involved us (the blue team) attacking the village from the hill fort; we had infinite buddy regens after falling back 30m, while the defenders had three lives. Our objective was to set off bombs in four structures in the correct order; these being the Cock Inn, the Town Hall, the Casino and the Border Bridge. Eschewing the direct approach, I elected to swing far to the left and attack the village from the far end, so that I could hopefully strike the defenders in the flank while they battled against my colleagues. This proved to be a good plan as I was able to surprise and take out a number of them; we fought our way into the village, destroying all of the objectives after some really intense firefights. After a quick break to mag up, the game was reversed. The enemy pressed hard; again, there were some great firefights and some great play, as might be expected on an invitation-only day. The highlight of this game for me was that I shot the site owner a couple of times. Yay! The next game required the enemy, who again had infinite 30m buddy regens, having to attack the Mortar Pits from the DEA Base, secure a stretcher from the top of the tunnels and then transport a player on it to the bridge on the other side of the Mortar Pits. The stretcher required four players to move it and, if the player on it was hit, they had to be replaced by another player; we had two lives. Starting off at the front of the Mortar Pits, I engaged a number of targets as the enemy tried to push towards the tunnels; we held them up for a considerable time, although I was eventually hit by a sniper who had moved into the hill fort. Falling back to near the berm which runs down the far side of the Mortar Pits, I became involved in fighting off the attackers who were trying to reach the stretcher. We held them up for a long time, before eventually being overrun as they pushed along the berm. Being hit again, I retired to the trailer at the back of the Mortar Pits to watch the fun, which included red team players attacking each other in the mistaken belief that they were the enemy. Eventually, they got an injured player to the bridge. Luncheon was then taken, after which the stretcher game was turned around. We decided to split the team in two, with one group attacking and taking the bridge, while the rest of us secured the stretcher and transported it there. Our group pushed quite rapidly into the Mortar Pits, overcoming a strong enemy defence before being held up by accurate fire from the top deck of the bus. We eventually overcame this and I was very impressed with one of my shots, which went through a small open window and hit the player behind it. There was then a push to get the stretcher to the bridge, which was completed after a couple of changes of stretcher bearers and passengers. After this game, I left as I wanted to get home to watch Liverpool win the Premiership; fortunately, they did so, which was worth giving up some airsoft time for. As should be expected from such a day, there was some great play and generally excellent hit taking, although there were a few comments about one player. It was hard fought but also great fun and was played in an excellent spirit. Weapons used: SRC T-91 (which looks rather like an M4) ICS CXP APE ACR (Masada) Classic Army ISSC Mk22 (Because someone decided that the world needed a .22 version of the SCAR) ASG XP18 Commander (CO2)

It sounds perfect! How many players do they usually get? -

That looks like a cracking site! -
But he has extended the barrel, so it's now a proper FAL, isn't it? ?

Double Eagle M906C - Internal upgrades / tinkering
Colin Allen replied to RostokMcSpoons's topic in Electric Guns
You don't want to lubricate the gears too much when using the Perun; if you do, there is a risk of getting some on the cycle detectors. If it is running well, there should not be any need to open it up again, unless/until it stops performing as you want it to. You probably did not need to fit new bearings or change the piston parts and cylinder head, but that is done. You did the job and it is running ok, which is good. -

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Colin Allen replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
That is lovely! -
Is the video with the charger edited? If it is not, the charging pattern is very odd and the starting voltage is far too low, which suggests that the battery is being drained very rapidly. Can you try using a different charger? From the sound of the gun in the second video, I suspect that either the motor is in too tight or the gears are shimmed too tightly. As johnnyj said, try backing the motor out a bit. If that does not work, it will have to be opened up.

Excellent! Well done! I tend to disable the ambidextrous mag catches as they are a pain and I am not bothered by them. I sometimes do the same with the ambidextrous selectors as well. -

Do not remove the post; the magnet holder should rest against it. You will need to dremel off the raised screw hole that you have circled. The manual is here: https://perunairsoft.pl/hybridv2.pdf -
Well, that truly sucks!

According to the troubleshooting guide, a green flashing light means that either the motor is disconnected or the brushes are worn out.

That is very impressive.

I run Blaster Devils, which seem to do the job without any issues.

I note that you didn’t answer my question. You cannot just make sweeping statements about the Met not being interested in recovering real firearms without being able to back them up. I do live in London. Your views about the police are not representative of what they actually do and the issues that they face on a daily basis. My eldest son’s partner is an officer in the Met and I also regularly deal with Met officers relating to a range of cases. They are not the Mayor’s personal army; they are regularly dealing with appalling situations and deserve the support of the population, rather than regurgitated nonsense.
-
How do you know that recovering real weapons is not on the Met’s agenda? Comparing the Met with the NKVD demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge of what the NKVD did and is utterly insulting to Met officers. The NKVD was responsible for a vast number of killings, along with torture and other crimes.

That sucks! I hope you manage to get it back. Being outside and active is very good for dealing with depression.
