As an alternative, look at the Gunman Cold War games, much more organised leadership wise, especially the East German side. And the kit is all provided.

It doesn't matter anyway as there are no HGV drivers to deliver our niche products so all good.....

A Kobra would be welcomed even a repro

No but if you have any GHKs.....

The only E&L I can see on his page currently is that price

Add into this the deliberate buying up of distribution rights by Nuprol of brands like LCT in this country and their then either failing to supply stores or deliberate choking of supply to drive up prices or push their own branded product.

Though at the price Dave Custom Airsoft is asking he can f*ck off. £340 for a budget E&L that retails for £190 elsewhere (WGC Shop)...There is only so far you can take the piss even if you are UK based. I would rather order from WGC and chance Border Control and added fees than pay £340.

But WTF?? The Makarov King is dead....long live the King....

Makarov issue? Probably the same one I had. Speak to @Adolf Hamsteron the forums he is good with them, there is also a big thread about them if you search for it

I imagine they will be pretty solid as most E&L are.

You asked what range you should expect from an average AEG not from an upgraded one, phrase your question better.

Re Cold War games - there is a background scenario happening - we are at I think 1986.....in the Gunman Games. Also, the scenario is European centric largely though the next game is involving the Chinese too

With you on the whole painting guns thing

Out of the box I would aim for 40m, anything else is a bonus, anything less I wouldnt bother. Thats why when I watch reviews I am always interested in how far stock guns shoot. Strangely, a lot of reviews dont show this basic function

Get it right, your PC wasnt 'hacked' you clicked on something you shouldn't have. 😜

UPS can rot in hell along with Maggie Thatcher....

Any pistol that isnt a TM basically.... WE Makarov - shoots fine if its over 20 deg C... ICS Makarov - just shite - plastic collar around the CO2 inlet deforms and you get leaks But the biggest turd of all ... VFC MP9 - lovely externally. Fires 1 BB before gassing out if you use it at anything less than 25 deg C with black gas.....utter rubbish

And? Cmon you know the forum by now! If we can derail a topic we will.

Nope, but you should feel ashamed for watching that complete and utter bellend. I know for a fact (as I was on one of his gamedays last year) that all his footage is spliced and very heavily edited, that he cheats and is generally a bit of a cunt. Want to play airsoft with a ghillie suit? Fine, you do you, just choose your role models better.

Mine was perfectly shootable out of the box. My mate hasnt really touched his either and it runs lovely. People fuck with them and then go, oh this is shit....when its their own fault

Still a loss as Kenya is independent.

Yep bang on. Same thing happened in Iraq. All this expensive kit, ISIS turn up with a technical and an AK and they run for the hills. There are a LOT of parallels with what happened in Iraq with ISIS actually. If you look at the history of Counter Insurgency Warfare since the Second World War, the only ones we can consider to have won out of all of them is Malaya but that was different as it was two ethnic groups striving for independence from each other not us (Malays v Indonesia) Every other single COIN war we have fought we lost. Vietnam, the various proxy wars in Angola and Congo, Rhodesia, Northern Ireland (yes a loss as the IRA were not defeated and have not gone away), Afghanistan and Iraq. We cannot do COIN warfare as we lack the political will to see it through to the end as we are stopped by our western values from doing what is necessary.

You are over thinking it. Whilst its a distinct possibility and there probably are ex ANA in the Taliban, you have to remember this is a group that has been in existence since Soviets invaded, they have had plenty of time to get fighters trained in basic weapon safety. A dead Tally is no use to Allah afterall... We also need to consider that much like the Vietcong in Vietnam, that at least some of the people view them as the liberators from western interference and oppression. The fact that we see them as evil (which they obviously are) doesn't chime with how your average ill educated Afghan in Kandahar views them. The issue and the war is wider than the narrative presented by the western media and needs to be examined as a whole. Afghan has always been the death of empire from Alexander the Great, right through to the British in the 1880s to the Soviets and now the Allies. You need to think of Afghan not as a country but as a collection of tribes. They are not coherent. My prediction is splintering of the Taliban and a descent to civil war again much like the 1990s. Russia and China will also start to try to fill the power vacuum left by the west and will be the Talibans only source of reliable income and development.
