That's just normal, that's just being a human over the age of about 6. Or even if not necessarily 'knowing' the exact time 24/7 with a constant update, just always having the ability to very very quickly access it (and the date). Pretty sure 6 was when I learnt how to tell the time on an analogue clock in school anyway. Parents got me a watch not too long after I think. Granted, I am probably very bias on account of having to fill out paperwork many times a day that often require times and dates input in many places, and being late for anything is one of the worst possible sins.

Gotcha, I read it like you did have a hold bag but just didn't put stuff in there for some chosen reason, makes more sense now.

This probably doesn't exist, just a very niche build idea I've got, but I thought I'd ask around in case. The goal is essentially this: https://www.redwolfairsoft.com/tokyo-marui-m733-commando-airsoft-aeg-rifle.html Except with decent modern plastic and not-1990s internals. Anyone seen such a gun? Far as I know the original TM AR AEGs all inevitably go loose and floppy where the barrel meets the upper and where the buffer tube meets the upper and apparently in not all that long of a time span either; their old plastic on rifles is of course notorious for creak and just generally wearing down (even my NGRS SCAR-L stock was terrible and that may be old now but it's a lot newer than the 733). I'd take a blank lower/no trades, can modify any other type of AR to change the forend setup and stock etc, just need the receivers to be fairly close to real Colt A2, not the typical modern Specna/DE/G&G fictional CoD-looking malarkey.

I'd be interested in a further explanation of why you didn't put them in your checked/hold bag? I'm not a frequent flyer or anything, probably only done about 20 return trips in my adult life, but I've brought alllll sorts back from the US in my hold bag, zero issue or fuss. Little bottle openers that look like rounds, bladed tools, all sorts of little gun/tactical paraphernalia that's obviously legal in both countries and legal to put on the plane, just with a high potential of raising eyebrows at airports. But on the flip side I've forgotten to empty my water bottle that was in my carry-on backpack or take out a tablet (electronic) a couple of times over the years and been swiftly pulled aside and had to go back around to the start of the queue going through security.

A few years? I mean it depends how often you play and how much you shoot (plus gun care, mags, bb quality etc etc), and maybe you'll get lucky, but if you play fairly often then the odds aren't good I'm afraid. In fact if you've only just got the gun, I'd try and return it.

They'll be super stoked to have released this just in time for the general online firearms community to have turned massively against the 320 for the safety issues and bad design (and the XM7 has been getting lots of bad press/feedback in trials). Fortunately from an airsoft business perspective, even the majority of American platers either won't know or care, let alone the rest of the world. Hate to say it, but I don't know why this mythical unicorn TM BHP keeps coming up, lol. Has there ever been even a hint from the company that they'd consider doing one? I don't see everything, but if so I definitely missed that, and if there hasn't been a hint then personally I'd bet against that ever happening. VFC on the other hand? Maybe, they're not perfect on pistols in terms of track record (not as good as the gas rifles it seems) but I've heard a fair bit of good stuff and I would actually take the magic pixie dust hit for a more realistic metal gun with a Hi-Power. Weirdly, I'd actually like the new, current FN production model because the real ones had the nicest/highest quality feelings I've ever gotten from a pistol, but they may have cherry picked some primo examples for display tbf.

Not a chance 😂 Well.. not unless you count Monster.

If you've got an empty one and you're still in the game area then yep, that is a way.

Yeah between every game you'd have to used a rod to pop out the bb in the hop. I'm not an MWS expert so maybe this is a proven thing, in that case that's fine. But even if you do always load with the bolt locked back rather than just inserting a mag, then once the carrier goes forward and puts the first 'round in the chamber', the nozzle is then necessarily sat on top of the rest of the bb stack for all of the the rest of the time. So is the issue only caused by the max pressure from a mag 100% full of bbs? And the problem is negated as soon as one bb is removed from the mag?

Haven't actually changed the ol' Krytac LVOA-S very much since this pic 5 years ago. Has a genuinely bonkers handguard on it but I put the details on my own site if anyone's really interested. Man those Hexmags were a hype thing for about 2 minutes but were absolutely awful lol..

I think the word is eclectic. Which is good, all for it.

The issue isn't you, the Osprey is just wank, literally nothing you can do to the vest, your gun or your stance to change that. I've probably fired a good few hundred rounds while wearing the Mk4 and it was always a contortion act of combative awkwardness. When it's stuffed with real armour it'll cover you well against artillery shrapnel and IED frag, which you care about in the relevant circumstances, problem is of course they aren't airsoft, and there's a reason cool SF blokes who jump out of helos in to room-clearing combat where every bit of speed and mobility count all wear American/American-influenced trimmed down plate carriers vs bulky mass issued armour. My guess with the grey pad is that it's only intended to work in the prone, not sure why exactly, presumably just the result of troop trials, but it's simply far higher than you'd ever want to place the butt of your rifle when in any other shooting position. There's a million and 1 different options for rigs, if we were all truly honest we'd say the most efficient of which is just a hi-cap in a pocket, but then all men would lose our form of fashion shopping and dressing up as a hobby. End of the day, if you're a small person, micro chest rigs and small belts are the best thing to go for; there are some specifically smaller plate carriers but they're not as common out in the market.

Just gonna steal one of Negative Airsoft's posts: But no, that's the pure facetious answer. I think GBBRs have had a such a huge spike in popularity the past few years because (especially with MWS) they reached a point where they're reliable and effective enough for regular use, certainly if you have regular access to your collection and time/money/energy to do that bit more maint than an AEG. It's not a ton of maint (unless you get unlucky) but the fact is it is just more than an AEG overall. You can still get unlucky with an AEG, but it's slim odds with a good one realistically. Personally I only have access to my own RIFs about 10% of the time, so all the mags for my few gas guns are stored with maintenance gas and often sealed in bags. Occasionally use the pistols but don't touch the rifles frankly; plink toys at this point given the logistical issues I have and the rarity of getting to games. AEGs just work for me given the limitations I have to contend with and I think they make more sense for people who want to play but only just about have the time and money to do that part, not to milsim being an armourer as well as a special army soldier (again, sarcasm, relax gassy people). I think the easiest overall solution is get something like the TM G36C+ or SG553+ and just never worry about it. Plenty of other options of course and those examples are a smidge behind the curve in power, but for myself I'd take that in exchange for the high probability of just being able to use them, chuck them back in storage and never think about them until they're back in my hands again on the field.

Considering Magpul has been making them for probably 15 years by now (rough guess), the UBR stock is like hen's teeth in airsoft comparatively. There's a million guns with Geissele Mk16s in DDC though, so it's a good balance in a way.

That bit's sarcasm right??
