  1. Hi Kirsty, G&G Combat Machine M4 rifles are superb entry level guns for about your price range, as are the CYMA guns, especially their AK style ones; the latter are massively better than the £40 low power gun that he had before.
  2. How much play/wobble is a lot? Sending it back is a bit dramatic; as EDcase has stated, some slight bending usually gets it to fit better if required. Not that different from the real ones.
  3. To misquote George Pickett, I always thought them being wankers had something to do with it.
  4. Freight shipping costs from China are indeed back to where they were before Covid or even below. Shipping companies (as in the people who run the ships rather than shipping agents) are reducing the number of voyages in an attempt to prevent their income collapsing completely by. With many factories in China closed because of the constant lockdowns and a slump in demand, there is more shipping capacity than is needed. However, with Winnie the Pooh now secure in his third term in office, it seems that the lockdown policy in China is easing, so more product might be available soon.
  5. Making such threats is potentially a criminal offence; the police would be the appropriate route for escalation.
  6. £150 from Patrol Base with one magazine. Bollocks! Should have checked if anyone else had commented.
  7. I strongly recommend Revision Sawfly glasses with their own prescription inserts. I have used them for a few years now, along with either Cat Crap or Absolutely Clear anti fog, although the Revision wipes are good as well. If you go for the Sawflys, use the MAX lenses to give your eyes extra flank protection. They will stop a shotgun blast, so at least your eyes will survive as the rest of your head disintegrates!

  9. Ah, that wonderful German precision and efficiency!
  10. Blimey, that really is a reduction in size; I have rather fond memories of setting off rather large pyro charges in that area.
  11. Welcome back to playing. When you say that the open part of field one has been lost, do you mean the part to the right (as you walk out onto the site) of the track or the area between the track and the woods? Where have they moved the car park to?
  12. That brings back suppressed memories of a King Arms SVD. 🤬
  13. For distance: ZCI inner barrel, yellow (60 degree) Maple Leaf Macaron and a red Omega nub, all available from AK2M4.
  14. Is it a new gun? Has this just started happening? Possibilities include: The barrel being slightly twisted in the hop unit. The bump in the rubber should be at the top dead centre position, not slightly off to one side. The hop nub being slightly off centre or misshapen. The inner barrel not being utterly straight; take it out and roll it on a flat surface to check. The inner barrel being dirty. Your gun being an StG 44 with a Krummlauf.
  15. Sprayed handguard and stock as well. British Army and "As new!"
  16. I cannot offer any insights or advice, but I hope you make a rapid recovery.
  17. I had a very normal day today at Tactical Warfare Airsoft near Croydon apart from two things. As usual, the games were well though out, fun and challenging for both sides; it is also nice not to have to have to go back to the safe zone after each game as they just roll from one game to another throughout the morning and again in the afternoon. Alternating between woodland and CQB games helps to keep it interesting. The two oddities: 1. Attendance dropped significantly throughout the day; apart from one chap who was on crutches, I have no idea why as it was a good, fun day. Humans! 2. A player got really annoyed with me after I shot him in the face at very close range (to be fair, it was about all I could target). Strangely, he was not annoyed at me for shooting him in the face; he became annoyed and slightly aggressive because I challenged him over not taking the hit. Humans!
  18. I went through that a few years ago; to try to get through it, I marshalled for a couple of years, which nearly put me off airsoft entirely. I have found that playing at a number of sites and trying new ones stops it becoming too routine.
  19. 5 Rifles are a regular unit, not reservist.
  20. Perhaps, not unreasonably, he does not want to inflame the situation and would rather wait until he gets his toy back in full working order.
  21. Excellent! Paintball can act as a gateway drug for airsoft.
