AirsoftTed

I took a three year break from airsoft :L

We should just ship him off to Australia with the rest of the Scally wags and misfits ! ( just joking infanteer, welcome to the forums bud!)

15 Plate silver Mercedes A class

Just in time for Christmas , the ensuing shit storm shall at least give me something to read tomorrow

Elitism works both ways. Usually people who have never been to a proper mil sim that dismiss it as only for Gear-do,walts. "I got into airsoft for the realism but I'm going to spend my time looking down my nose at people pursuing a greater level of realism than me"

I tip my hat to you sir, brillant painting

Borrow an RIF from your brother ?

Arma 2 might be a better choice. Most people I know have it, and its quite cheap now if you don't. Almost everyone should be able to play it with a decent FPS, plus the uniforms and weapons are closer to our timeframe and a bit more realistic than the futuristic stuff in arma 3? Just my two cents

On top may break up your sihoullete a bit more, and the brim of your hat will keep it off of your face. They also make good scarves, gun wraps and they're good improvised curtains for a fighting position or snipers den

Get yourself a sniper veil. Very very versatile , can be draped over your bush hat to cover your head and shoulders.

I too would like to see gun ownership made more accessible and self defence friendly but sadly I think now the UK has spent too long against the idea. I'm not sure when Dunblane happened but am I right in thinking it was mid 80s and led to the ban on handguns? If so, we're approaching two generations who have grown into adult hood without a firearm culture in the UK. I'm 19 and I haven't met a single person in real life who has the slightest clue about firearms. Whilst you or I would be fairly competent in handling them, I reckon half the people I went to school with would end up shooting themselves in the foot or something stupid. The self defence laws as you mentioned also handicap us greatly, after spending your life basically vulnerable if you then had the power to just drop a threat, I honestly would in the heat of the moment - so while that is a potential death who's to say I should have let them stab me then kill me? Bollocks to that. I remember parents buying their children stab proof vests to go to school in and play outside in down here in London. Is the UK really that much safer than the USA? Proportionately there are a load more people hence a load more crime , what do you expect ? They can't have police and cctv everywhere so there's more opportunity for crime than here. I can't see us suddenly having guns making crime rise. For one it would be guaranteed to fall if possession , manufacture etc were no longer crimes . I'd love to see us given the right to bear arms but I think it would be a very long process, starting with stuff like familiarisation with firearms safety from a primary school age in an attempt to bring back a firearms culture where people actually know what the hell they're talking about instead of " guns am bad mr media man tell me so and dem people died" I was on a security course today and the trainer who works part time as a uber driver to get extra cash for Christmas told us he had an executive from the BBC in his car. He asked him why the media only covers certain topics and pushes certain ideas. Unsurprisingly he was told there's someone at the very top who says what news goes in, and what news goes out. So much for free press eh? The government doesn't want us to have anyway of rebelling efficiently , it goes against their own self interests of keeping power. As an example , we were told to all close our eyes. He then said " if I say terrorist, what image do you see?" Personally I must be an exception because I just saw the black of my eyelids because I'm aware anyone can be a terrorist as it's simply a word for someone who imposes terror on another and is therefore subjective , but the rest of the people all said stuff along the lines of, Osama bin Laden, beards, turbans and Middle Eastern people- that's the image they've been given for the past 16 years or so.

I need to get some sleep, read the title 5 times before I realised it didn't say homophobes. Was expecting a totally different thread lmao

Poke holes and seal joins with pvc tape?

I've seen two condoms being used to waterproof a mobile phone. First one goes over the botto, and tied in a knot at the top. Second goes over the top and died in a knot at the bottom. Obviously you probably won't want to run about with condoms on your gear but it's an option if it really is bad rain lol

Been mulling this over and if each person in your section brings packet of Pringles , you can not only have a jolly good munch but with some duct tape create a tennis ball mortar out of the tubes for fire support on the move. Improvise, adapt and overcome lol

Legit? I'm about 5 minutes from you mate , five ways. Small world lol

I'm in South East London but would try and drive down for a woodland game if I could get the weekend off

The American MREs? Thats better to know i can get away with two a day, was dreading carrying like 12 or something for the likes of berget. Any recommendations on what menus to avoid or seek out?

Yank MRE's come with flame less ration heaters you just put a little bit of water in and they take up no extra space really. Soldier of fortune do 3 MREs for circa £21. They say for a soldier doing physical activity in the field you should have 3 a day so they're like a whole meal but you should be okay get away with the three and maybe some extra snack stuff

Girls breasts are a bit more sensitive almost like our balls so it hurts to be hit in them and can cause breast cancer. I know in paintball they were passing as shots can affect their ability to have children and feed them or something like that the Marshall said

Paintball sites usually give chicks padded vests, should be able to get hold of one of them ?

In addition to my suggestion about letters and inspired by Stevils post, you could always try writing letters and journal entries then just put them in a box under your bed or a small safe if you have one. Later down the line , read them and see how you felt now and the progress you will have made . I was clearing out school books from when I was in secondary school and sixthform; reading things you've wrote like essays and stories even can trigger good memories and show you how much you've developed as a person

If we've learnt anything from this thread sacarathe is very good at finding out who you are and is set to replace Liam Nielsen in the next Taken movie. Also, you're wife is no longer the only one who knows about "that" mole. sacarathe knows.

So he's not a racist but dresses up in SS regalia and tweets racist jokes, albeit reworded ones to it more suitable to his local area. Seems legit. Also, moaning about a 32 hour work week? that's just over 6 hours a day if he does a 5 day week, Primary school kids do that much time in school. Lazy bastard
