Well done!

They are proposing that the 30,000 going to the military would be engaged with logistics, cyber security, procurement or civil response operations. For those volunteering, they would work with the NHS, fire service, ambulance, search and rescue, and critical local infrastructure, among others. I am not sure how a mere 25 days per year would result in them making any appreciable difference to those organisations. Funding for all this is also an issue; it looks like 60% (around £1.5 billion) of it will be "diverted" from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, which was established to replace the financial support that community organisations lost when we left the EU..

That is a shame; too many sites are not delivering what they should. I think there are some AWA regulars on here; if there are, it will be interesting to see their responses.

Some photos might help as, at the moment, we have no idea which make it is and which springs have boinged away.

Extremely fucked.

He seems to have created a new advert for it and deleted the original one: https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/m4-combat-machine-semi-and-full-auto_i61221 The price has dropped and the output is now 320 to 390+ fps, whatever that means. It's almost like he is making it up as he goes along.

Not on a Combat Machine; it is an integral part of the front section of the outer barrel.

No wonder the distance it covers is unreal. I do wonder which sites the seller is playing at if that is not a typo.

I would go for the Hybrid; it has better functionality, particularly trigger sensitivity, and anything that gets rid of trigger contacts and cutoff levers is to be applauded.

I doubt that he will; I am not sure when he would find time with his army reserve and cadet instructor commitments and often working weekends (He was at the Etihad today looking after the rigging for the flying camera that he installed yesterday and will dismantle tomorrow). His younger brother plays regularly when he is down from university. Agreed; that is why I will never go back to certain sites.

Dogtag does seem to have something of a reputation. Hopefully, it hasn't put your eldest off. My eldest used to play, but gave up because of frustration over non hit taking and rule breaking. A few years later, a friend of his persuaded him to try Dogtag; he left at lunchtime and has not played since, although he has started making noises about possibly giving it another try.

I'll cross that one off the list then!

Having only a passing acquaintance with Bad Manners, despite being in my teens when they first became popular, I always thought the title was Lipo (or Lippo) Fatty. I have learned something this evening.

Known as "doing a Ben" in certain circles.

It is a pro-IRA song about shooting British soldiers.

Locked to semi and used as a DMR.

Nice! I have some AEP pistol batteries of a similar size and capacity. Please post pictures of it when it is completed; I would love to see it.

Flanders and Swann: The Hippopotamus Song. I seem to have an innate ability for finding mud and getting covered in it, mainly because I spend a fair bit of time on my belt buckle.

Fuck that Provo shit.

He probably mislaid it in his beard.

The poor thing! Where will you put the battery?

I would second the recommendation of the Begadi hop units; superb!

Weird!
