Well...if we keep this curmudgeonly behaviour up we'll have no worries about FB kids joining and spoiling the ambience...

I know there's been a few join today that were on UKAC on FB but I think it's only right they have a fair crack of the whip same as everyone else.

It's a valid point but I always found that ghillie suits are a pain in the arse to move around in undergrowth so unless you have a role that suits being stationary for a while (like being a sniper) they're probably not worth the hassle.

So errrmmmm....where the pics at?

Yes.

The holes in the top might work, but the ones along the front will most likely be blocked by the impact liner.

That's the thing though - if it lasts 5 years and then dies everyone will still say "ooh...it's Ares what did you expect?".

Ahhh yes....I remember it well. In fact, I'll be in my bunk...

That actually made me LOL. You are joking though....right?

I've only just come online.

There is an awful lot of brands in airsoft where "are shit" seems to be freely interchangeable with "used to be shit but have actually got their act together and make fairly decent kit now, but that doesn't fit with my prejudiced world view so I'm going to ignore it". Ares USED to be awful. The newer guns are actually not bad at all but I struggle to see how they justify the relatively high cost considering their once poor reputation. Unfortunately airsofters as a breed are quick to condemn and slow to forget.

Have a look through the thread. You'll find that question answered pretty quickly. Also I have been mostly listening to....

Yeah....that's not what I meant but if it floats your boat...

That is a genuine concern for me. I have a customer facing job so I need to take into consideration that not all our customers would relate well to me running around with guns at the weekend!

Pretty much everyone in the Netherlands can speak English. The only language barrier you will likely experience is the locals speaking in Dutch so they can discuss how bad they think you are without you knowing. Personally if you're going for a "mini city break" there's plenty of far better things you could do with your time in Amsterdam than go airsofting.

I sweat like a paedophile in Mothercare so ventilation is paramount. I can deal with the odd shot through the vents

Making the group secret won't change anything. There's a number of groups that have taken themselves down without being "taken" down as such. As usual everyone is frothing over something that may not actually affect them as much as they think it will...

Probably not. The ban is aimed at "unauthorised dealers" so basically private sales.

Do you have any actual evidence of this? Discussion groups aren't actually affected.

Picky, picky, picky.... Remember - there's a double "s" in concussion.

Sniper rifles aren't all 1J though, are they? Granted concussion from a BB is pretty unlikely but a BFG could knock you out cold.

Shall we say "less cheap" china clones? Let's face it not many people would even begin to know where to get a pukka one...

If I had a pound for every shot I took to the scalp through the vent holes on my FAST helmet, I could buy a couple of MK5s. More to the point, I'm a clumsy fucker that plays CQB and bangs his head a lot. My helmet has saved the day more than once already.

Not tried it yet (it only arrived today) and yes I'm watching the new season.

FMA LA5/PEQ15. The McGarrett Mk18 build begins.....
