UKARA set minimum engagement distances now apparently?
That's news to me. 🤔 🤔 🤔

Maybe he meant 50 feet...
You know, when you use an inferior unit for measures that relies on fuck all logic
Let's just say the head marshal hates snipers.
on a serious note, sites should figure out at what distance a heavy bb fired at 2.3J drops its energy to a "safe" level (say 1J). Your 20m bog standard MED was calculated on a 0.20g bb being fired at 500 fps, we all know that heavy bbs retain their energy for a longer time/distance and that nobody with at least one working brain cell would use 0.2s in a 2.3J gun.
-
@Skara i did run the math on it, a 2.5j shot with a 0.2gbb has 0.39j at 20m, with a 0.5g bb you're talking 1.27j, which lines up surprisingly well with a 1.3j limit for auto/non MED pews

Are there any Airsoft stores near Nottingham that are worth checking out?
Going to be heading down from the frozen north this weekend, thought I may as well have a look in whilst I'm there!

Dear Lord I can't believe I'm even considering it...but how are OnlyBBguns for delivery?
I know; I wouldn't even think about using them normally; but they're the only place I can find what I'm after in stock, and the item itself is actually a decent product; is it worth it, or are they con-artists?
Now excuse me whilst I shower the filth away. -
Despite all the slagging they get; I honestly can't fault OnlyBBguns for this order.
Lone UK stockist (that I could find) Over 20% less than the usuall RRP, free delivery & arrived the day after it was posted.
Still feel a bit dirty though!-
They are the better of 3 x well known BB shop muppets
still a bit mickey mouse but like you say if you know what you want and they have it then it is worth a look.
Most of their stuff is 2-tone as they mainly sell to newcomers
but even then bought a few bits off them in the past and all good
even a 2-tone non blowback m92 wasn't bad for £30 - 10% discount delivered.
Despite the newbie beginner shop - good to support some local shops now n then I guess
wouldn't catch me recommending JBBG
highly highly unlikely to suggest BBGuns4Less
But Only - aka iwholesales - same addy are ok out of the 3
glad you got it sorted

Finally got around to opening up my Type 89 for a downgrade & bucking change, as well as greasing the (bone dry) gears and a new piston o-ring.
Bought it a few weeks ago and It was a little too spicy unfortunately. 😅
I tried an M100 first, and that was way *way* over 1.13J, but thankfully one from my random bag of lower-powered springs was ok, and it's sitting about 0.9J now, so ready to game for next week.
Version 8 gearbox wasn't as bad to work on as I remember it being, I just need to rewire it now.
-
Hooray! First day out with it and my new type 89 died before I even made it to the safety brief. 🙃😭

It's a Tercel, which I think is just another rebranding of the Jing Gong or Both Elephant.
I don't think it's the brand itself necessarily, as I had one about ten years ago for a while and had no problems.
I think it's just age, it'd been sat in storage for a while according to the advert.
I wouldn't even have needed to open it up, but it was doing over 380fps when I got it. 🙃😅

I hate ordering from X-Fire sometimes.
At least it's less expensive... -
I'm heading through to London next week for the first time in a while.
Is there anywhere airsoft-related (or similar) you'd recommend visiting?
I know of Wolf Armouries, and I'm flying there & back, so won't be able to buy anything gun-like, but wouldn't mind a browse, or a short shoot; be it on a range or a game.
What is there? -
Japan to UK: < 36 hours
Halfway across England: Several days & counting. Yaaaay parcel force! -
Omw back from the Midlands Airsoft Fair.
It was okay, but not quite as good as the last one in 2019, imo.
Picked up a CYMA AK74U, a few mags & sights and that was about it.
Typical that I realised I could have got myself a railed upper receiver for it there too, only AFTER I'm on the way home. 😤😂

Spent most of yesterday kitting up for shooting today, and it ended up having to be cancelled due to low numbers. Yay.

It's a fairly large site - old abandoned WW2 RAF training ground. It's got 5 main areas of contact between the two teams, so at 120, that's 60 on each team, split across the 5 areas which takes it down to 12 per squad, minus 4 on each who are doddling back to respawn, so each little concentrated battle only becomes 8 on 8 (give or take, the Grasslands area usually has a little more as it's a larger space).
Parking is tricky though!

"Brand New in box. Needs a new gearbox. And a barrel. And a body. And box."

*Finally* managed to get some more Prometheus flat Buckings from FS. Last time I got a re-stock notice, it was too late!
-
£4.50-8 to post one single hop bucking? Yeeeaaaah no thanks, Airsoft Zone.
-
£450 for an ICS 551? Seriously...?
-
4 AKs is enough for Sunday...right? Or should I pack one moire, just in case?
-
A Productive evening! AK47s gearbox upgraded and running consistently, and my long-term dead/problematic AKS74 is back up and running!
-
Anybody else had problems getting a Pro-Win M4 hop unit to fit? It won't go by about 1 or 2mm; I'm presuming due to the flat shape of the top section, as opposed to the slanted shape of normal hop units, perhaps?

Are replacement parts for the Echo 1 Vintorez available anywhere?
