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

@ak2m4 with another Christmas miracle!
Ordered some internals for my latest project, not expecting to see them until after Christmas, when they arrived about 15 minutes ago!
Excellent service as usual 😀
Now, the postman who's seemingly unable to work a doorbell is another matter!
Had to quickly put on some shoes and chase him down the road before he disappeared! 😂

AirsoftHub: The perfect place for people to sell their gear whilst never checking their inbox!

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!

Are WE Glock mags compatible between generations?
Could I use a Gen5 mag in something that uses Gen 3 or 4?
Been so long since I last owned anything Glock shaped I'm out of the loop!
-
I have gen 3 WE glock 17s (several) and a WE gen5 Glock 19. The gen 3 mags will happily fit and feed in the gen 5 Glock 19 (but i obviously can't test the other way due to the glock 19 mags being too short to fit in a Glock 17). IIRC the only difference in the gen 5 glock mags for a WE is that they have mag release cutouts on both sides, as the gen 5 allows the mag release to be reversed for a left handed shooter.

Back down in the Midlands to play at MAW tomorrow.
Second time I'll have been, enjoyed it the last time I played, just wish it wasn't so far!

Booked in for Raw War on Sunday.
Been several months since I've been, and weather looks good.
Hoping for a good day.
Anyone else going?

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

Don't you just hate it when a buyer just goes radio silent on you 😒

It was all ok, and then I asked the guy if he had WhatsApp, or someway I could send him some photos & videos of the gun working and then they just disappeared.
Think it's probably for the best tbh!

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.

Heads up to any fellow glasses wearers, but I recently tried ReglazeMySpecs for the first time, after finding an old thread about them on here.
I ordered on the Sunday, sent off my old inserts on the Monday, and received them back and finished on the Friday, all for under £17!
Can't recommend them enough, and a much cheaper alternative to Specsavers. 😃
-
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. 😤😂
-
So who else is going to the Midlands Airsoft Fair on the 9th?
Third time for me, and first time as a seller!
-
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!

The world would be a much better place if Royal Mail ceased to exist.
