  1. Grr stupid magazine. It seems the best I can do to fix Matilda is to get her to shoot but leaking like mad. Evike and Iron Airsoft have no spare parts.

  2. Grr, got a sunday off and its a week where the options are Black ops cribbs or the courthouse. Would bother to get outta bed for Spartan or Black ops portishead.

      I'm guessing spartan airsoft Is good then? :)

      Didn't I say so on your comment? The Courthouse (Bristol airsoft) is fun, but gets boring after a while. Black ops cribbs is too paintbally. Black ops Portishead is good but actually gets used for paintball so you get covered in paint. Spartan is a great site, they only open every other week, so it never seems to be when I have a day off :(

      Well hopefully I'll be going there soon! ;)

  3. Grr. Was all ready to go skirmishing today. Everything packed on my bike ready and got hit by bank charges so I find I cannot afford it this week :( So hard to get a Sunday off too :(

      Might go to the courthouse Thursday and test the WW2 loadout on CQB :)

      Bad luck mate. I thought it said "got hit by a tank" first time round

  4. Had a week off, now I gotta go to work this evening :(

  5. Having finally got a job, I got paid yesterday. Theres a WW2 airsoft game today but I have to work. The really annoying thing is I have to work less than a mile away from where the game is :(

      ouch - they didn't put working very very unsocialable hours in job description. bummer when work gets in the way of important things in life :(

      Yeah, I had hoped to get one of those 9-5 jobs doing some sort of admin, but instead I got one of those jobs where you work all sorts of hours surrounded by air hostesses. Oh well, I guess I will have to live with it :D

      can appreciate in such memorial days the ratio of glory:horror is often bit biased against the horrid reality of war and the hundreds of thousands slaughtered in it's name but think he def went bit far.. wonder if he's one the people who sent a death-threat to the poppy garden creator in UK!?

  6. I finish work at 1am, I have to fix my rifle (O rings not arrived yet so went to halfords and bought some). Then I have to get all my gear together, get beer and food and catch a train at 2pm to my next WW2 game.

      In re-enactments, do you use airsoft stuff?

    3. Russe11

      Russe11

      You mean when I went to Lacock at war? I used my Lee Enfield, yes but no gas or ammo. The WW2 airsoft games obviously you use airsoft stuff :)

      How'd it go? Hope it went well!

  7. I had a foolproof idea to get some free beer. Saturday is ANZAC day and the 100yr aniversary of Gallipolis, I have a full Australian uniform and there are lots of Aussie pubs...

    1. Russe11

      Russe11

      only problem is that when you check the web pages and facebook pages of Aussie bars, none of them seem to know that Saturday is anything special :(

      You should send around educational flyers a week or 2 before ANZAC day ;)

  8. I just got a job, finally! I should be back to shooting people soon.

      soz when you said double your last wage I thought it was something dodgy

      well done again sir

  9. I need a job soon. It's driving me insane having all the free time and no money to do anything.

    1. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      soz to hear your situation, a m8 of mine had a crap disciplinary meeting. It is still not very easy to get a decent job out there. Hope your luck changes real soon

  10. I somehow over the last few days created an airsoft team! We now have a squad of 6 WW2 airsofters in Bristol called Pattern 37.

      brilliant - some may scoff at you WW2 lot but at least you guys show how committed you are.

      (says the duck that rarely takes anything seriously)

      But congrats - you are not the only WW2 nutter down there :)

  11. I think I am destined to burn in hell. I just committed the ultimate sin. MY SMLE scope mount arrived and to test it I attached my ACOG to my SMLE! I feel dirty.

  12. I while ago, there was a thread asking what peoples ideal site would be. I thought a beach and sand dunes would be cool, to create beach landing scenarios. Tomorrow I'm off to a beach in Wales to do a D Day based game :)

      Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO ENJOY IT!!!!!

      I envy you so much!!!!!

  13. Is it wrong that I find this hilarious? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-29944507

    1. Chock

      Chock

      Yes, but then again, I do too. What sort of a dipstick doesn't check a munition they are about to demonstrate to see if it is inert? I used to think it was a bit over the top that Claymores had 'front toward enemy' on them, but when retards like that are around, you know why

    2. Russe11

      Russe11

      Why would you think a dummy pepper spray that looks like the real thing would be a good idea? Why would you demonstrate it by pointing it at 4yr olds? How do you manage to get 8 4yr olds in the face before realising that you're using real pepper spray? Why was no-one filming this for Youtube?

       

  14. It took a month to arrive but Yay!!! I now have my WW2 Aussie Uniform :)

  15. It's taken 2 weeks but my Denison Smock has now arrived. My flat now smells of mothballs.

  16. Just back from my 1st WW2 game. It was epic, you just don't get 30 people doing a suicidal charge accross open ground at prepared defensive positions in normal airsoft.

      At one point we had the British charging up a track with no cover, Yanks charging accros a field where they had to stick to a narrow path and the germans in a patch of forest with plenty of cover. It took about half an hour before we managed to get a foothold.

      Fair play. Best I've seen is 60 players trying to cross across a single narrow bridge while enemy fire comes from all sides. I think that ScoutTheDoggie has a clip of it somewhere...

  17. Just back from Storming the beaches of South Wales is what turned out to be heatwave conditions despite the weather forecast. Logged into ww2airsoft.org.uk to find that the guy making my Owen gun has decided to give it a functioning barrel release so that I can change the barrel and access the hop unit without tools. Best Weekend ever!

      strewth - seems like most places got good weather except the SE. Glad you you good one bet the surfboard was a bit tricky to get on the train but atb anyway

    3. Russe11

      The plan was to take Brit airborne gear for the game and Aussie gear for the social, so I had dry clothing. Day1 was so hot I was drenched with sweat after the hour walk to the beach so Day 2 I went for the Aussie Khaki drill. Best bit of the weekend was storming a huge sand dune and peeking over the top to see the whole German army in a line to my left, all looking the other way. I emptied a Sten mag and racked up more kills than I have ever had in any day's airsofting.

      lol- that will teach them, bloomin good when you get the jump on 'em - even better when you got the high ground advantage

  18. Just did the final layer of a camo paint scheme on my gun. Just panicking in case it looks bad when I peel all the layers of masking tape off.

    1. two_zero

      two_zero

      if it does, just paint it again:) oh and dont forget to post results!

    2. Russe11

      Russe11

      It worked fine, just didn't look the way I wanted it to. Will try again sometime.

    3. TacMaster

      TacMaster

      Try spraying with a handful of twigs, small leaved branches etc between the can and the gun. I've seen it done before and it gives an awesome natural finish :)

  19. Just got home from trying out my new toys. The MP5 is good, the MK23 Socom is just epic :)

    1. Ian_Gere

      Ian_Gere

      what make is the mk23 again?

      With the barrel extension, my pistol actually has a longer barrel than my MP5 :D

  20. Just had my 1st proper accident since starting cycling. Car pulled out of a junction and hit me in the side. I have a tiny graze on my wrist but my handlebars are toast.

      Yeah its why i refuse to ride on road i would rather trust my insticts to avoid pedestrians than put my faith in drivers

    4. Russe11

      Russe11

      Yeah he's going to pay for the repairs. Annoying thing is my lovely striped swede effect bar tape is discontinued :( I had a great effect of black with a red spiral down my handlebars.

  21. Just tested a 9.6V NiMH in my Sten. OMG that is terrifying, I would not want to be in front of that!

  22. Khama's a bitch. On my way home today at the tail end of rush hour, the road was closed by a burst water main. Oh how I laughed at all the trapped motorists as I got off my bike and walked past the closed section of road. Oh how I sniggered to myself as I passed all the motorists on the other side now I knew the long wait they would have to endure. Safe in the knowledge that as a cyclist I was totally unaffected... Until I turn on a tap at home!!!!!

      of course Khama is a bitch, females love to get back at smug men gloating at others. I love the female term:

      "We need to talk" which in male terms simply means....

       

      You are in DEEP $HIT

  23. Landwarrior have redesigned their web site, now I can't find anything!

      I had never been on it on my computer until last night and I thought that I might have just been looking at the mobile / tablet version. I agree it does look better though.
