      Haven't any gear with me and I'm booked up with visiting family mate, I'm moving back up within the next year so will get to a game with you hopefully

  2. Nab yourself a cheap sling just incase, then you don't have to carry it ALL the time
  3. Are North Korea starting a bowls team or something?
  4. But it am bested gunz montz :{( lols
  5. Enfield Red and pink urban noobslayer camo cos da bullpup means I can reload quicker when 720 no scoping alot. I also like da cold blooded perk
  6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwUwKm9czeM Started me off now, didn't know you were a Hoop aswell Mack, coincidence lol. Got my Celtic playlist blaring whilst I'm getting washing done to head back up to Glasgow on Thursday. 'Mon the night Bhoys!
  7. Aye thats a grand song mate! Best of luck with the wedding Mack. I'm not to keen on the whole pop style thing myself actually, that was probably a bad song to introduce you to her with. I like her version of the Rocks of Bahn; but she seems to put a lot more into her covers of rebel songs, have a look at her cover of 90 Miles from Dublin and you'll see what I mean mate. (Might not be your thing, but music is music eh!)
  8. I'm yet to play in the rain.I'm moving from Walk on's to weekenders and Milsims now however so I have a feeling I'm going to have to learn to deal with it. Nothing a Poncho and waterproof bergen cover won't sort!
  9. Fitting, seeing as I drink it like water. Have you seen this girl Mack? She does covers of alot of old Irish music. She's got a good voice!
  10. Right thats me got my mind made up. Keeping my FR kit as it is, going to start a Brit kit after the new year. RM BRF or SBS, but I'm leaning towards the Pathfinders/Air assault also.

      And it means an excuse for a sexy G&P based L119a1 and later a GBBR version

      L119! Yus!

      That's going to be my next project as well.

       

      If you need reference photos and links to buy shit, check out the Brit Forces Loadouts page on Facebook.

      Cheers for the tip Ed.

       

      I know right, L119's are just beast! I've been sitting on the L119 thread on UKAZ just drooling!

  11. Designated Marksman(s) Rifle. Not quite a sniper rifle, but usually an accuratised version of the standard service rifle used by a Designated Marksman (DM) to reach out to targets beyond the range of the rest of his team. In airsoft terms, this usually can be any gun which has been upgraded to circa 450fps dependent on site rules. Usually has to be locked to semi auto and some sites include a MED for DMR's. TL:DR (Usually)An AEG/GBB which has been tuned to be accurate beyond ranges of normal non sniper rifles OR to be more consistent.
  12. Plot twist : He's an IS militant who has made it past the FBI agents posted at Heathrow. What the media haven't told us is that the IS caliphate is really an army of Oompa Loompa's.
  13. I'm going to release a series of airsoft guns this size so under 18's can use them for airsoft and not have unwieldly adult size guns. Oh wait it's a shi* idea and Tokyo Marui have already done it Bad luck ya little whipper snappers. Maybe these could be used with a "pew pew pew" rule instead of a bang rule.
  14. I was lucky to get my dad to take me to school when I was wee, never mind actually spend any proper time with me at a skirmish lol! Good on you Lads for spending quality time with your kids. Welcome to the forums aswell mate.
  15. Had heavy flash backs of the Black hawk down scene there Ian. I should really get down to a first aid course.
  16. I should be sorted with a set of wheels by the next one so will definetly have to book in and put faces to names!
  17. Good to see you posting again Ian mate!
  18. Checked out a few of his songs, its really good what he's trying to do for traditional Irish music. I'd be a liar if I said I'd listen to it regularly (at the moment) I'm very much used to the sounds of the wolfe tones and the Dubliners etc. Gary Og is about as "modern" as I dare to go with the genre. I don't mind Damien's version of the Foggy dew though! My favourite cover has to be by Sinead O'Connor and the Chieftans however Chills up the spine!
  19. Can't say I've come across him (to my memory) mate, will look him up now!
  20. Luke Kelly, legendary! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkqK72W-HLk
  21. Wish I would have been alive to see Luke Kelly perform live. Legend

      True tragedy that he died so young. Ah your a lucky sod Mack! First person I've spoke to who shared my interest in their music (Mind you I do live in London lol)

      I was going to take up the guitar and start singing folk songs to entertain my self, then I realised I can't sing. The amount of Guiness that would need to be consumed to convince me otherwise would leave me incapable of playing any instrument. Ach, mo bhrón!

  22. It's an Alien world to them, I'm not justifying their actions just trying to explain not to take it in the worst way. Think of this way, you're a squaddie/ex squaddie, you've never played airsoft, all you see and of heard of it are the Walts, you're going to assume its all that way; we just do as humans, its the same way racism and all other descrimination happens, past experiences being associated with all future experiences, like cavemen learning not to eat a certain berry because it gives you the shits. Of course they're not going to understand, we're all men right (for the most part) , we all like guns and action etc. - They get paid to do it and given all the gear to do it with, of course they're going to think hmmpf mugs paying for kit we get for free and running around with toy guns.... It's just a source of banter for them, just like paintballers are for the majority of airsofters! I'll be honest before I got into airsofting, I'd always liked guns, had the odd airsoft gun to twat about with shooting my mates and plinking. I saw scout the doggies videos and thought that "airsofters" were insane paying grands for kit and £300 for toy guns. Then, one day I took the plunge, I got involved after enjoying a game of paintballing but desiring realism. I thought this is a perfect excuse to buy all the cool military stuff I've always put off as a waste of money. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anyone is a c*nt for buying loads of expensive gear, I do it myself now, I'm obssessed with accurate kit!
