Same person is listing a used TM G17 with a leaky mag for retail price, comes with a hard case that is £12 new... Cost of a new G17 mag is roughly twice the price of the case.

I really enjoyed The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. I really rate him as a fantasy writer as each of his series has their own unique magic system, he manages to produce a lot of books and keeps fans updated on his progress through his website. He's completed multiple series in the time it's taken for old George to not release another GOT book lol. The first 4 books in the series have wrapped up, but there are 10 in total planned. The first book takes a while to build up pace, but once it does it gets really good.

There's some curious guns for sale on the Airsoft UK discord if anyone wants a laugh. Apparently some random throwing a load of parts in a gun means it's worth double the cost of the gun new. Should it be 3x retail instead if they are well known techs? 🤨 Does that mean my Recce rifle that had work done on it by Kingdom of Airsoft is worth over a grand lol. Here I was thinking £400 might be a bit steep....

Warhammer 40k can be good but has some setup costs associated, Kill Team and Necromunda are the cheapest and easiest tabletop spinoffs to learn. You can go to your local shop and they have miniatures you can paint for free. My friend took his three kids there and they had a lot of fun painting a space marine each that you get to keep. Not 100% if all stores do this as, so worth checking.

Any site that thinks they have their finger on the pulse with chrono but insists on only testing with 0.2g makes me roll my eyes because of this. The other silly thing with doing so is that guns with really strong hop setups can be buggered up by firing lightweight BBs so you either risk that or can't play at that site using it - I have a gun with an R hop that applies a reasonable amount of hop with the dial turned to the lowest setting. Joule creep was fairly well documented on the Airsoft sniper forum 5-10 years ago, so there's no excuse.

I thought HPA was considered the most consistent FPS wise? The only almost certainly overpowered hit I ever took in the 100 or so games I've played was most likely a CO2 gun with a new bulb, made me consider stopping for the day it was so painful(relative to normal hits) - felt like being shot with a coin and left a bruise the size of one... I don't see their rules mention CO2 at all outside of launchers so are they just fine despite the new bulb issue?

That thing looks disgusting, struggling to understand what these excessively expensive toys really offer. I don't even get the £1k recoil builds as the diminishing returns are huge.

Welcome, I'm just down the road in Lee. Not played in a few years but wouldn't mind trying Ground Zero when I have bit more money. I have played at Browndown camp a while back, but prefer woodland.

That’s a HK diopter sight and should only really click in with the opening facing perfectly forward for different elevations. If yours isn’t doing that it has been poorly made and may need replacing

If the stock is a similar size to the TM recoil version a 7.4v 1450mah crane stock battery should just about fit. Those are what I use in my TM and a quick search brought up some narrower batteries than yours.

It's all very vague to be honest. It's like I could have a UKARA membership that expires on 17th July. So that means I'm legit today and not tomorrow? What about if I start painting a gun this evening but it spills over into the early hours of tomorrow morning? Unless I'm mistaken I have yet to see a clear definition of what does or doesn't constitute a defense in terms of being an airsofter other than most retailers basically treating a UKARA number as a license when it clearly is not, the 3 games thing is a UKARA guideline after all. As above I've had shops that know all my details including UKARA number but won't sell to me if it's expired despite selling to me in the past. I'd hazard a guess there's no UKARA enforcement team that says I'm now not a valid skirmisher. Not to mention most sites will then renew subsequent membership regardless of how many games you have played after initially qualifying. I do understand what people are getting at though, even if the person they are referring to does have a sensible defense. I've witnessed quite a few "loopholes" over the years but don't talk about them publicly because it just encourages people to go about things the wrong way.

Are those just ASG mags as some places chop and change the names? I was looking at getting ASG mags as most places seem to stock them, although i'm not hugely fussed if I can't run green gas.

TM MK23 and WAS Universal Pistol Holster. Tactical Tailor triple pistol mag pouch, OD 3 x ASG Mk23 magazine

Blue force gear ten-speed MP7 chest rig in wolf grey.

Played the game a bit too much and really enjoyed it. I'm just waiting on incursions/operations to be released now as I'm not too keen on farming division tech for a perfectly rolled MP5.

Both of you as you are both almost certainly breaking site rules, not to mention being irresponsible.

Cheers for organising the game Trigger, it was good fun.

Must be the amazing Nuprol one, falling apart after one day haha.

Anyone know what the little rubber O Ring type seals in a midcap mag(SOPMOD PMAG) are for and if they are needed? Swapping out BBs and one of the mags got jammed where this bit of rubber has come loose, effectively jamming the mag till I pulled it out.

It's partly preference to be fair, some people aren't keen on HPA and some sites blanket ban CO2. I agree Novritsch stuff is a waste of a money though, I like his videos but he quite heftily marks up the parts he sells.

I'd have thought it was pretty obvious that a high rate of fire means you can get hit more within a given space of time. Lots of sites i've played at already make players use semi auto only in CQB areas because people can't be trusted to use their brains.

As others have said take it, but report to a marshal if they are being dangerous with how they throw it. I'm not keen on players that are overly anal about the rules, common sense would be to politely mention minor infractions to the player. Like when two players refused to take a 2-3 round burst each from me because the rules were near buildings semi auto only. Fortunately most people seem to be pretty sensible with them but accidents do happen. I played a game once where someone was getting ready to throw just as a player popped out of the tunnel he was aiming for made him jump and the grenade split the chaps nose open. Seen a few videos where the player recording throws a grenade and films it going off with themselves a couple of metres away. Then highlights how the other player didn't take the hit....

I'm getting pretty bored of people doing this. Plus people that wait till they hit you before calling hit, even if that's up to 5 seconds at a few metres.

I just carry on shooting people if they don't call hit, partly because there's a fair chance I just haven't hit them. I'm not a good enough shot to be selective about where I hit even if I wanted to, I just try to aim at chest height and lower. No one is really going to be very happy about deliberately being rinsed up in the head or groin. These cheater videos don't really do anyone any favours. If there is an issue with someone it should be getting shown to whoever runs the site. I've also seen plenty of "cheater" videos where its massively unclear if the player has been hit as it just looks like the usual "I can see my BBs up until 1-2 metres in front of my target, let's assume they hit"
