Where did you get your licence? I can't find them in stock anywhere

After looking at someones bb bottle in the safe zone for about five mins I had to ask " why have you got green tea flavour bb's?" ...as the words left my mouth I remembered mine were in a old Irn bru bottle, but at least got to watch his face as he worked out how to explain it was just a bottle and his bbs weren't flavoured

Jg g36c £250 plus postage with a few extras but still seems a lot.

Around £130 brand new.

If you don't actually know what it is you're missing, then it's not essential.
 
All I have on me equipment wise is ammo, a pistol, my phone and wallet. Water as well if it's an outdoor game where I'd be any distance from the safe zone for more than half an hour or so, but I'm mostly playing small/indoor sites anyway.
 
That's a beefy armour carrier as it is by modern standards, don't load it down any more than you need to. Literally everyone that's been playing enough years goes through these phases, you pile on more and more, realise you're not using it then take it all back off again. Just think about what you find yourself actually really needing to use while you're in a game and only carry that. Don't be lured in to carrying 2 extra speed loaders, 5 grenades, a tool kit, a days' rations and 3 litres of water etc etc etc if you're only playing standard games (around an hour). Some people like having all that on them and that's fine too, but as I say just tailor what you're carrying to the games you're playing and get rid of what you don't need. I can always tell the seasoned players when I rock up to a site as they'll generally have a simple, well-sorted loadout of a small belt or chest rig and a light weapon. Save yourself the 'middle man' as it were.

So when are you changing your name to Boba?

The funk doesn't stop

The Mall is one of those places where team work doesn't. The CQB in there is pretty chaotic and the end result is its hard to stay with your team mates or work together in any reasonable way. You list line up at the fatal funnel and try to fight through it and that is about all you can do there.
 
There are teams in the woodland games where we have medic rules so staying together and fighting tactically are worth it.

Hi all.
 
I took the plunge and bought the type 97. It's a fantastic quality gun, probably better than my g36k shock from TM.
 
Just a warning to anyone else, I swapped the spring for an M100 and it's now at 370fps. Hopefully it will settle down or I'll be cutting a coil off I guess..
 
Thanks for your help.

Snobbery is all about thinking your way is best and the rest is just ignorant/unskilled. There's lots of it in air-soft, perhaps the need to appear professional/bad-ass is common due to essentially playing cowboys and indians as an adult fuels it.
 
"Why don't you just use this pro tactic?" especially when accompanied by claims of being awesome in some manner, is one that can makes you want to violently disprove someones ego. But as mr trigger happy says this too is paradoxically (i wont use the word irony incorrectly for once) an act of snobbery because you want to correct them because you similarly think you are right.
 
These days I try to find such things hilarious rather than irritating, poke fun rather than rant. Possibly more arrogant, but definitely more enjoyable for all.
 
Samurai got it perfectly, one best things i've read on these forums tbh, shame there isn't a 'super-like' button or something. There's many styles/ways to play and until they make a compulsory UK airsoft league then the only way to quantify success is by the amount of enjoyment.
 
As for 'shoot when you know you can hit' and 'why use high rof', that doesn't help the rooms full of guys in full camo gear when i burst through the doorway they came in through and thanks to 25rps shoot them all before they've started returning fire (a best-case scenario usually ending somewhere in between and me getting shot by 5 people at once after taking out 2-3 of them, assuming i've even made it into the room). But it probably helps them a lot when playing woodland and they've just spotted opp players moving in the distance. Time and a place for everything, as we all seem to agree there's no universal standard or situation

It makes me laugh when people advertise anything as 'brand new but only used once'
 
soon as you buy something, it's no longer brand new but 2nd hand

Bought some magazine shims for my KJ 226, yet to see if the £3 was worth it.

Hurt my neck and shoulder muscles by running headfirst into a fire door in the pitch black.
Bruised shoulder, elbow and ribs falling down stairs.
Lots if scars on both arms from playing in a short sleeve top.
Still cant bend my little finger 9 days after being shot in it, so god knows what I have done that.
Think it might be time I slowed down a bit.

so looking back through some of the comments. I've been thinking. My main style of play is assault rifle and get stuck in there but have been thinking maybe to try a bit of sniper rifle something a little different from my usual style of play !!!!

So had a game day yesterday to run my Tippmann and SMP at my usual site. Wasn't expecting much and had my Cba mind on.
 
First game ok to long and a lot of standing waiting for something to happen or a lot walking. 2 1/2 hrs of that. Stopped for dinner.
 
Afternoon game started in the smaller side of the site and what a game. Brilliantly setup, plenty of action, BBs flying, pyro going off here there and everywhere, Vatara was in play as well.
 
Has defo made me think twice about quitting or not. More games like that as it was new and I'll defo be staying with the sport.
 
Tried some Nuprol .28s in my SMP & Tippmann which were awesome, took a few top shots which I thought might be out of range but nope hands going up for a hit.

Wrong. Its completely fine to carry an airsoft gun in public as long as its concealed in a bag or case. People regularly use the train or tube wearing combats and carrying gun bags.It only becomes an offence if you take the gun out and start waving it around in public. You can even carry it in the box it comes in.
I really wish people wouldnt keep giving out duff info.

the Taiwan gun one comes with a sling

Cmon, it comes with an extra high cap and a cheap sling, that's worth the extra £50.

Buy from anywhere but BB4L / JBBG etc! well that and Special Airsoft Supplies
Some good shops are Zero One, Airsoft World, Land Warrior Airsoft, Airsoft Zone and Fire Support
Pro Airsoft Supplies and Wolf Armouries which are in London
 
I have seen that gun at TaiwanGun, which is a Polish retailer, so they don't do two-tone.
Pretty sure I saw the MB4411 at Patrol Base the last time I went but it isn't actually listed on their website.
If you can find it most places will do a two tone painting service for £10+ or some like Zero One will do it for free.
 
I wouldn't recommend a sniper rifle as a first gun though. Sniping in airsoft is not as fun as it might look because you will realistically only get a few kills.
Not only this but building a ghillie suit is basically a must if you want to stay hidden which is gonna take a lot of time and work.
Also the most important thing is sniper rifles take A LOT of upgrading to be any good and it costs a lot. When you buy one stock the range and accuracy won't be great so you might as well just have an AEG.
If you did buy a sniper rifle I would say buy a Tokyo Marui but they are gonna be around £200.
 
Welcome to the forum by the way

Ahh see what you mean, the curve shapes wrong too! on the genuine one start from a flat edge and go to a point, on his its a point on both ends of each curve. even the batteries have the same logo.
 
I've found some references to surefire changing their logo slightly in 2011 though, and looking through pictures lots of ones from pre 2011 with the same logo. these could also be fakes, at the ridiculous price these things cost clones can't be too uncommon. definately dubious enough to not bother with, good spot sir!
