      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!

  4. 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!
  5. Just being greedy now Nutster! Jealously is bubbling, might have to bankrupt my self and make one too! Your not as bad as the guy on Arnie's who has TWO M72A7's in perfect condition, he makes me want to cry in a corner for not having one!
  6. When he fires, fire yours, like wolves howling at each other. It probably won't help but it'll make him aware of you - or make him think he has an echo in his garden.
  7. 2.4km later and I think I'm going to get on with this chestrig, didn't bounce about and weight was nicely distributed! Anyone know h ow TAS tan matches up to Pantac CB?

  8. Just took delivery of a TAS chestrig with pouches, used with complimentary Afghan sand! Edit: Just found a Casualty card in the utility pouch, thankfully it hasn't been filled in!
  9. Ed, you know you're going to get the GHK eventually... Just do it Then by the time you're an expert we shall all follow suit Would also give you a nice excuse to do that USMC kit you wanted to do ages ago!
  10. Cav, incase you hadn't noticed Russell does WW2 airsoft- Lozart you sniped me just as I wrote you in that sentence above!
  11. Just bought a brand new FILBE for £65, boo mava f*cking ya

      Even with postage it only comes to £100 so still miles cheaper

      No longer doing Grunt USMC kit so no need for one now, moved over to Marsoc

      Mine is for my FR kit mate, you staying marsoc or moving over to raiders as per the unit?

  12. Don't we already have a quick questions thread? Edit: Yes, we do. http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17155-the-quick-questions-thread/?hl=%2Bquick+%2Bquestions
  13. Not to sure on the make but I believe it was CYMA as it was full metal. An AK47 AEG for £50 at a bootsale brand new. (this was pre-VCRA). It was either that or a Double Eagle g36c I paid £20 for, memory isn't too hot! The first "proper" gun I got was a JG bar 10 Edit: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17250-what-was-your-first-airsoft-gun-would-you-ever-sell-it/
  14. He also didn't hit the balloon, he hit the metal plate it was on and the fragmenting bullet popped the balloon. The balloon was just to make it easier for the spotter to confirm a hit - his words.
  15. Anyone used a WAS BMF bergen ? Was going to get an x300 but they're out of stock, the BMF looks similar to the FILBE I was going to get for my FR kit but I'm worrying about it having no hip pad putting all the weight on my shoulders?

  16. been putting off some purchases for around 8 months , I go to buy them and every single thing I wanted is out of stock... Murphy's law eh lads

  17. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4X20-Air-Rifle-Scope-Sight-Mounts-Hunting-Shooting-Optics-Fitted-11mm-Mount-/201144118853?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item2ed51fae45 Saw this whilst looking for a scope and thought it might suit your SMLE once it's painted up!
  18. ^ Long enough to give Fat B*stard from austin powers a reach around by the looks of it lol, that rail looks gigantic!
  19. Yeah they're awesome! I think I remember reading it was all bad timing, it was just as ICS had released their new launchers so did not want this as competition or something like that. Tried contacting renegade for a commission ?
  20. I think that was a custom build by RenegadeCow. IIRC he was in talks with ICS (I believe) when they tried to steal his idea or something like that, so the deal never happened.
  21. I was charging, fell down a ditch and pole vaulted with my m4 barrel stuck in the mud I just got up dug the mud out with a stick, fired a few shots to make sure the gun was still working and cracked on because I don't think anyone even noticed
  22. Mil1st can be a bit pricey on some things, they sell the miltec recon tent for around £80 IIRC but I got mine for £50 on amazon
  23. Debating embarking on a project to make a m40a5... Have an affordable base gun in mind, just worrying about optic prices and upgrades etc. Hmm...

I'm moving back up to scotland soon so will be able to enjoy nice big woodland sites, gives me another excuse to build it I supoose :P I'm looking into GBBR's myself, other project im considering is a gas l119a1
