  1. Depending on what ground-level barricades are set up and their height or how well they're obscured from an elevated position. A few pictures of the interior are available here. https://www.movehut.co.uk/property/677431-1-blackstone-road-huntingdon-cambridgeshire/ As it stands, it's very open but you'd think some cover from the mezzanine level would be installed to deny/limit the high ground advantage.
  2. Case in point with the heavily customised/modded Hi-Capas you see listed at £700 (for argument's sake) compared to £1,200 spent on the gun (funny that you're sold the gun whose parts have mostly/all been replaced!) and parts. If they had a bigger market, the seller wouldn't lose as much money.
  3. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/31014-great-starter-bundle The itemised bill lists the two-tone fee - am I paying a discount on that? How long have the bio BBs been hanging about for and in what conditions?
  4. Why do I get the impression he played once and discovered the reality of playing isn't like the edited YouTube videos he watched? Overpriced two-tone AEG with accessories up for sale too. "Only been used once" but it's awash with scuffs and scratches.
  5. "only been used once" Is there a reason for the lack of a full photo of the gun itself? Is the gun being sold with or without the muzzle loudener?
  6. https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/win-this-cyma-grenade-launcher-for-1_i60313 He's back again. Bad sport! He's not even telling us how many entries there are so we can't estimate a margin, assuming that there actually is a prize draw. I bet he'd have to sell at least 40 or 50 tickets to be able to turn a profit.
  7. Very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and the family in such a difficult time and please accept my condolences.
  8. I remember this from back in the day. If it still works, £50 is probably the most you'd see. Am I right in remembering this being NBB?
  9. Not saying your estimate is wrong but which model is that price based on? Are there more photos of the gun, particularly if there are any scuffs, scratches, etc, as well as the box to identify the model name/SKU? "Not used much maybe 10-15 times" will be taken with a pinch of salt by a lot of prospective buyers. It's not to accuse you of lying or being rough, it's just not a reliable metric.
  10. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/30784-win-this-we-glock-18-for-ps20 https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/win-this-we-glock-18-for-20_i60184 No, definitely not a scam. If he's selling 14 tickets in total, he's making twice retail price on that Glock.
  11. I'm quite partial to the Hi-Capa, coming in several different barrel lengths (from 3.8" to 7") TM's versions are expectedly great out of the box though you may not like plastic slides in which case WE's haven't let me down. Especially with TM, there's a big aftermarket for performance upgrades and cosmetic customisations.
  12. https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/mystery-box-brand-new_i60171 £200 mystery box - M4 or sidearm but no springers apparently Bulldog or HFC special?
  13. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/30753-src-electric-ak Seller wants 80% of retail value for a two-tone.
  14. I went there for the boot sale at the end of January but not to play though I got a similarly good impression of the organisation from the signage and the tannoy announcements so I will go there to play at some point. It sucks that they don't allow players to bring their own food and drinks. I thought that captive market mentality was left in cinemas.
  15. "Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should" springs to mind. Given that AI content is in its infancy and that it has been used to misrepresent companies, their products and services, it's not unreasonable for people to raise suspicions. As you claim to be a B2B dealer, you should surely be aware that trust and a good reputation are hard to build but easy to lose. Telling people to "calm down" when bad actors are a reality (not saying or implying you are one) isn't conducive to building that good reputation.
  16. Whether it's a joke or not, the comparison to Nazi Germany is insulting to those persecuted there for simply existing. As already said, halls of residence inspections and monitoring internet usage aren't exactly a novelty. Universities have reputations to uphold and especially in this age where Britain is becoming more like its ally from across the Atlantic with its litigous tendencies, they have to be vigilant to avoid being held liable and thus give grounds to be sued. To that point about being sued, universities have something called public liabilty insurance to protect or mitigate themselves from injury to people or damage to property within the confines of the university. As the halls of residence are the responsibility of the university and that it has a duty of care with internet usage, it doesn't take an overactive imagination to guess that many public liability insurance policies for a university are contingent on them not allowing weapons or replicas in the halls of residence and that they have safeguards and "counselling" policies in place over web usage. University culture isn't "absolutely mad" in that respect. It reflects the society we live in today where you have to be especially careful to keep your arse covered.
  17. I went to the new shop this month and I'm definitely impressed with the soft launch. It's several times the floor space of the old shop floor. They're due to complete the indoor 10m range but everything looks promising so far. Like a lot of industrial estates, parking was a challenge at the old location but there's plenty at the new site. I'm usually very happy with freebies and I got a complementary patch with my purchase.
  18. Welcome to the money pit! Don't worry about not having a social group to play with. You can make good acquaintances, if not new friends, through airsoft. I went to the majority of my games without people I met outside of airsoft. As Shamal said, having suitable eyepro is an absolute must. You can get very afforable eye protection that's suitable for airsoft, just don't be tempted by the cheapest thing you find on eBay that doesn't come from a known brand such as Bolle. In addition to boots with good ankle support, good gloves are a worthwhile investment - being shot in the knuckles with thin or no gloves can be much more painful (not long lasting though) than you might expect. Rental might seem expensive to start but think of it as an investment in the hobby. If the worst should happen and you decide airsoft isn't for you, rental will likely be a smaller loss than you would experience buying a two-tone, only to find you find yourself struggling to resell it for even close to what you paid.
  19. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/27717-gbb-hicapa-pistol Relisted with prices from £90-£100 with the condition being "Only some minor scratches" but doesn't disclose that the gun is missing the fibre optic rods on its front and rear sights. Peace of mind, brand new for £95 https://www.highpressureairsoft.co.uk/raven-hi-capa-51# https://www.eliteairsoft.uk/products/raven-hi-capa-5-1-black
  20. Isn't it a bit late for Easter holiday antics?
  21. That's what I can't get my head around. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I haven't seen quantitative analysis of how spending 3. 4 or even 5 times the value of the base gun on parts gives a significant gain in performance. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/30554-gas-1911 I hope that in paying more than 1.5 times retail value of a JBBG special, the seller throws in some magic beans or whatever illegal substance he was on. https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/hg121-airsoft-gas-pistol/
  22. I play 1 to 3 times a month. Teams are nice to have and play with together but they're not essential. Depending on the games you play, teamwork is required if completing objectives is your thing such as securing areas, retrieving items, recovering VIPs, etc. For the most part, teamwork with strangers can work out really well in my experience.
  23. That is definitely part of the appeal of the G36 platform to me, especially the G36C. That aesthetic gave it a certain distinction in my eyes.
