Does anyone really need a map on any UK sites?

To be fair, I've just realised I started a map of my local site for that very reason...my bad.

Still a working project tho as I don't play often enough to finish it.

Well, I reckon it would only take one faceplant to knacker it & even with my sluggish playing style I'd give it at least even odds.

Haha much better than a MK6 lid in the not in the slightest bit alley look. 

The app can show you the different points of interest e.g. for your objectives, show where your team mates are (if they are using the app), you can receive instructions from command etc (if that app is used at your site).
So in theory it all sounded interesting to try out.

I've been a first timer at a few sites where the briefings mention various points of interest/targets, & i didn't have a clue what they were refering to, you end up following regulars in the hope you'll get your bearings🤔

Been after a Dragunov for a wee while & saw this on the classifieds, this walls getting a bit busy, reckon it's time I found a new home for the helmets.

I thought it might be useful to have a phone mount on my plate carrier so that I can use the Ares Alpha app to see my location, that of the objectives etc. So I got myself a cheap mount from AliExpress that protects the phone and holds it securely in place (in landscape mode) on my chest. I can then simply open it up slightly, see my location on the map and close it again.
 
And then I started testing it:
To unlock my iPhone you swipe up from the bottom, however the mount has a strap over the phone to hold it in place and you can’t do it without sliding the phone out. ❌ Face ID on the iPhone only works if it can see your face but I’ll be wearing a mask. ❌ Ok I enable ‘unlock with Apple Watch’ but the phone will not do it when in landscape mode, only portrait mode ❌ So I enter a passcode but I would have to take off my gloves to do that ❌ When the phone is unlocked I can’t actually see anything as it is too close to my face and I would need to wear my reading glasses to see anything detailed. ❌ But apart from that it really works nicely😂 

Was asked to knock up a Magpul style MP5 handguard as the real thing seems to be out of stock everywhere. It's not an exact copy but close enough I think.
Top one is printed smooth in ABS and the bottom one in PLA using the Bambu labs fuzzy setting.

bit of a round robin of airsoft retailers to buy some bits.
CT25 from Zeroone as it was cheap due to the closing down sale.
EMG loader from BZ as I'm lazy this fills all my mags without any problems
new impact from JD which is lightweight compared to others I've used.

Yeah, I'm unlikely to use mine in game anyway but I don't think I'd trust it to last without issues.

You really need an AK47 & AKM in there.

Guess I best get the PKP don’t want to be accused of copying haha 😂

After AirsoftWorld didn’t want to reply to my emails and never called me back regarding the Raptor PKP, I opted for the next best thing.
 
A&K PKM with real wood 😍 Looking forwards to running it next weekend 😏

I sold a couple of guns to a buddy (including an old TM SPAS 12). I'll be reacquiring them along with the rest of his collection as he's moved to Australia and the guy that was looking after them wants the space in his shed back!

New toy, yet to be tried out properly....love it already. Noveske N4, 120% recoil spring and aluminium buffer with one weight. Jaeger precisions npas installed and that's a nice one i must be honest.

Anything else coming ?

No, as my old pews were destroyed by the police in 96 but FaceAche keeps suggesting my ex as someone I might know... does that count?

When the Raptor Grach was announced, I asked my local shop to get me one in with an extra mag, mount etc. Ended up selling it back to them due it being awful. About three years later, walk in and see another one sitting on the counter with the current owner asking if the shop owner wanted to buy it back (They didn't).
 
I was chatting to the guy and he was explaining what was wrong with it, and I was responding to all the issues with "Mine did that too", only to then find out the guy had bought it from the shop owner 3 years ago! I offered him a reasonable amount for it, to which he accepted and so now one of the coolest (IMO) GBBP's is back in my collection! And yes, it's still barely useable... 😭

Okie doke. Thanks for the input everyone. Ill clean it up and stick it up here as soon as my ads refresh. Already hit my 10 listing cap this week XD

Lucky it's only 6mm BB's getting thrown about.

Meanwhile in the real world UK female body armour has recently been issued to serving personnel
