Everything on this site seems cheaper than anywhere else, presumably because this is where army surplus stores get their stuff from? Don't follow the links too far or you'll end up tendering to buy a destroyer, something like that can be hard to explain to your family

Best bargin, Blackhawk single point sling brand new in box, 99p with £4.50 postage, realised he lived near me sent an email asked if I could collect, yes I could, gave him a £1 and said he could keep the change.
My mrs said I wasn't a true yorkshire man otherwise I would have asked for the 1p change

Patrol Base - 9000 Blaster 0.2g BB's for £17.48 of course there's the matter of £5.50 P&P to mainland UK, but that's still a quid cheaper than standard on site £8/bottle prices and, if like me you wanted something else anyway, it's a spanker of a deal...
 
Here's another one - Boots from Surplus & Outdoors some good bargains in this list.

My speedloader is complete but it seems the power needed to push BB's into a mag is more than the plastic allen key socket on the high cap can take. I can turn the allen key and BB's will come out of the nozzle on the high cap so the concept is sound. I'm not however interested enough to spend more than the £1 I have spent on this to get it working. If however someone wants an idea to compete with Elite Force feel free to steal this idea. You could even have a powerdrill attached to it for really fast reloads

Oh don't tell me that, you arse!

For those of you who don't read the status updates, I think Mr B has set me a challenge Airsoft_Mr BWhat do you guys think of the Elite Force SL-14? Hope they arrive over here too. Today, 04:28 PM Show all 4 comments
Russe11 I could build something better with a funnel, parts from a high cap mag, a broken hop unit and a cranking handle. It would be easier to use and smaller. But would it be worth the hassle?

Russe11 Take a high cap, remove the spring, connect a handle directly to the wheel that pushes the bb's and glue the lower part of a hop unit into the hole at the top so that you can then press your low cap onto the device and turn the handle to load the mag

Airsoft_Mr B If you think you could do it I'd say go for it. I don't know if you get a lot of spare time but you seem fairly confident and probably pretty good at making stuff so I think it'd be great to try.

Russe11 I'm tempted, just to prove it would work, but tbh I have no need for a better speed loader and I have other projects on the go  
I have just taken a look at my broken High cap and I think it would take 5 mins to convert it into an uber speed loader.
-Disconnect the spring
-Glue the wheel that pushes the bb's directly to the windy wheel axle
-Drill a hole in the outer casing level with the windy wheel axle
-put the high cap back together
-stick an allen key into the end of the windy wheel axle through the hole
*at this stage the high cap will push bb's up to the outlet nozzle as the allen key is turned with no spring to store the extra turns.
-glue a tube into the top of the high cap and shape the end to form a coupling with the midcap.
 
The principle is that the high cap will push bb's into the midcap as fast as you turn the allen key. For more speed, you could even use a power drill
All I need is glue (which I can pick up tomorrow) and a plastic tube to form the connection between the mags. Any idea where I could find such a tube?
A broken hop unit or speed loader are 2 ideas I had.
 
As I am using an MP5 double mag high cap, it will even be possible to put a funnel into the high cap while it's loading a midcap. So you have something better than the Elite Force SL-14 as you cannot fill that easily while using it and it will be the size of 2 MP5 mags, not the size of an MP5. Plus it will work on any mid cap without adapters, you just have to hold the mag on. Thus it would be ideal for a team using different guns.
 
Am I a genius or can someone tell me where it will go wrong? And does anyone know where I can get a suitable bit of tubing?

I think it's fair to say Seek has the best loadouts ever from these posts. I love how you have the authentic and less serious / fun loadouts as well. Brilliant.

Cheers Sam, will pick one of them up. Ordered a Flyye one from Japan and got a completely different colour to the picture, cheeky git wants me to pay the return postage and if i do thats been £40 postage to recieve and send back something I dont want, more than the thing was worth to begin with lol!

Right I shall start us off with my small but ever growing collection.
For now all the guns are stock parts.
 
First off my TM M14 socom:

 
Galaxy MP5k PDW:


 
JG MP5A4:

 
Bell M1911 GBB:

 
Finally the whole collection:

Whenever this thread comes to the top now, I get a feeling of impending (financial) Doom

I'm getting there lol, I really need a better computer to be able to do a lot more than I am doing currently though.
Sometimes my laptop auto shuts down because it overheats because the editing takes so much out of it.
I do appreciate the compliments though

I have to admit it annoys me when you see videos like this though, which was just posted on Reddit and somehow shot straight to the top of the list due to upvotes:



Is it just me, or is that one of the most "meh" airsoft videos ever? The guy has more than twice as many subs as me, how does that even happen? It's so off putting finding stuff that's crap yet people seem to like it so much more, when I've clearly put so much more effort into my videos than he has his.

YouTube is a bitch =[

Karl Pilkington is my fave super hero

And now .. for something completely different..
 

 
 
 
Don't worry. The blood isn't real but the picture was taken during a game.
Guns are painted because this picture was taken back in Portugal, where the law demands replicas to be painted in those colours.

Kit is as follows:
 
Mich 2000 with a paint job. NV is a prop but the strobe in the back works (not the original thing though). PCU Level 5 jacket ACU AT Trousers Tan Magnum Amazon 5 PACA body armor in tan (should be in green but I only have this one ) RRV Vest in Ranger Green and a MBSS pack in the back. ACU is the type of the cut of the uniform. ACU stands for Army Combat Uniform.
 
 
Hope that helps. You can get most of these in ebairsoft

I love the frogman concept, but, and don't take this as heavy criticism, is that a hoover?

I've actually never done any USMC one hehe.
For the US I prefer the Rangers but more then just Military I love to do other less known loadouts that are very fun to play with!
 
For example ... my latest is:
 

Digital AT.
 
This picture is where I got inspired from.

Just found this web site:

May be the solution to all the webbing issues. They also have British kevlar helmets for Ian from £7.50.
 
I feel a day out may be in order.

I like that mate, could pass as a futuristic PMC aswell.

creds/thanks Cheeky vimto!

Welcome to the club!

I noticed it myself actually but thanks for pointing that out I thought it must be a bit dodgy when every one they were selling said the same thing. I haven't bought one anyway, I think I'll make do with the included scope that I get with the gun anyway, I think it's a good one for the price too.
