Okto Eight, part of Filmsim Ltd, has taken its operation from Facebook. The game organiser, which runs military simulation games on the four Gunman Airsoft sites and occasionally on third party sites, has shifted its community to its own website at www.oktoeightmilsim.com and closed its various FB groups. Their only remaining FB presence is the Okto Eight and Bad To The Bone outward-facing pages. They feel that their website offers greater clarity for their players and additional features to suit their needs going forward.

Played at Tuddenham today and gave my MP5K an airing round the buildings. Rain held off and we had a balmy 12 Degrees.

There is no reason why one type of BaoFeng shouldnt communicate with another if they have the same frequencies. It was probably either a set up issue or your radios were of the programmed kind, with (different) preset frequencies. PMR446 uses 8 frequencies so any PMR446 should be able to talk to any other.

You will only be able to rent at an airsoft game. As I mentioned in the other thread, if you want to play at Eversley, the Gunman site there charge £25 for a days rental.

G&G are a problem with many mags. I usually use G&G mags with G&G guns and other makes with non guay guay products.

Look up After Dark CQB in Ashford

This isnt a police state mate. Weve had people blowing us up for years. Leave your guns, knives and mags behind and just bring your clothes and boots.

There are no shops at Eversley but the site is in a big UK military area i.e. Aldershot etc not far away so there should be a plethora of shops. Have a look online at Socom Tactical which is probably the nearest proper airsoft retailer, but there should be lots of military surplus shops locally. It shouldnt be a problem bringing clothes though UK border control.

Has anybody heard about Paypal banning airsoft transactions or was that an idea of an April Foolx joke ? Saw something from LWA about it, saying they are stopping accepting Paypal ?

Initially, I tried to start airsoft with my son, but he kept prevaricating so I went alone in the end. He now has his own rifle and plays very occasionally but Ive just gone on to do it and he comes along if he wants. The other day I suggested I buy his rifle off him because it gets so little use and he started making excuses so there is hope.

Welcome. You wont be able to play at any sites with that fps. Most use around 350fps as a limit for woodland and even less for CQB. So yes it will need a spring downgrade. Presumerably the battery goes in the stock, so a 7.4V LIPO stick is ideal. There have been some recent threads about LIPO and recommended chargers.

the amount of furniture you can fit on a general purpose rifle is very varied. It just comes down to what you like. As Samurai said, look on the internet. its a chance to express yourself and make your G26 different to everybody elses. It amazes me when people say what gun shall I buy, what shall I fit on it. Its one of the few freedoms we have and to me, its one of the most enjoyable parts of guns. Bear in mind, the more you add, the heavier it will be to lug round all game. Personally, I love suppressors - have them on nearly every SMG and rifle. I especially like those that look like suppressors but make the noise louder. Just check what thread you have i.e. CW or CCW and make sure you order the right one.

Didn't give it much thought at the start, but now when I look at new guns, I always think about size of battery and how accessible it is, plus mag availability.

No dont have anything against TT in a skirmish. The BBs hurt just as much. I don't really see much immersion in skirmishes.

I love TM stuff although not impressed by the AA12 looks. Im going to a gas and spring day at Gunman Tuddenham on Sunday, where aegs are banned. Looking forward to seeing some use of gas and spring boomsticks around the buildings. The plan is for Okto to put on a short milsim scenario bed wetter - cant wait.
