  1. G&G FN F2000. I'm curious. Would it be worth it if I were to go for it?

      Really? Never heard of one with a fogged scope, mine was fine. Didn't stop me from disliking it and buying the regular top rail, but still. :P

    3. Caliber

      Regular if I decide to go for it. The iron sights look nice enough.

      If I had one I'd simply HAVE to have the dedicated scope....in my mind an F2000 without it just doesn't seem right. But I guess unless G&G clear up their act with the scope it isn't very practical to have it

  2. Sitting around at home wearing all my gear. Typical sunday.

      And I still have that guy selling poppies getting blowtorched to the face in the back of my mind, you made the right decision I think

    3. Lozart

      As grim as that attack was, it wasn't actually a blowtorch. It was an aerosol can and a lighter and the kid got a slightly reddened face and singed hair. Blowtorch would have been much worse.

    4. TacMaster

      TacMaster

      Much much worse- an oxyacetylene blowtorch can reach flame temperatures of up to 3500 degrees celcius

  3. Nearly 30Gb of Skyrim mods... Not obsessed. Might be time to purge a few.

      I bet, eveb with all those mods, 80% of the game could still be confused for a black and white tv documentary about vikings...oblivion was way prettier!

      Finius, that's why we get the buffed up graphic mods, it doesn't look so washed-out and basic anymore. Although, I've gotta say, Morrowind was bloody spectacular and still is.

  4. Good god. I can't stop playing Team Fortress 2. Surprised I ever stopped playing.

      Very nice Falcon. I was thinking of getting my UMP-45 done with the Labyrinth skin from CS:GO once I'm UKARA registered. I love a bit of alternate design on guns, a break from the boring world of identical camouflage.

  6. Best modern-era fictional soldier? I'll go with Soap MacTavish. I dislike Call of Duty, but the Modern Warfare storylines were damn good.

      think it was a short movie with a little bit of gameplay in between - if you wasn't going online with BF4 you had very little gameplay hours to look forward to

      Lucky I'm only 17. But it'll still cost around £1.3k. Went to the dentist today and luckily no nerve endings have been damaged or anything. Need 1 root filling, 3 crowns, 4 caps. Could've been alot worse.

      thought it was free on NHS under 18?

    4. Caliber

      Apparently not for dental care. And this counts as reconstructive surgery which also apparently is not covered by the NHS. Bit of a pisstake but I'll have to deal with it.

  9. These Japanese guns are a nice break from the ordinary, I must say. Wonder if there's any decent airsoft versions about... http://weapon.at.ua/_ph/10/760907675.jpg

  10. Gonna order some film kit for my phone tomorrow. £26 total for the kit (Mini-Tripod, 10000mAh external battery and a fisheye/wide angle lens). Looks like I won't need a proper camera for another while seeing as the iPhone 5 camera is pretty decent (Not so much for sound recording, but picture and film quality is damn good). All I'll need is a BB-proof protective case for the phone itself, which would probably be more expensive than the rest of the kit.

      Wait, Will this be used like a GoPro? or just for recording shots on the field?

    3. Caliber

      Not like a GoPro yet. Maybe at one point if I opt out of getting a Contour. For now it'll be used for parkour videos and firing test videos.

      I had the plastic DBOYS version, which sucked, but the metal one should be better and I've heard good things about. On the plus side, if anyone wants spare parts, you can have em

      I had the 'asia electric gun' version. Metal, weighty and sturdy. Can't comment on performance though as I never actually used it! Nice feel to them though :)

  12. Extended barrel for the G39C has a thread 1mm too thick for the silencer...pisstake.

      They're still around but it'd be a huge waste of money.

      even for plinking, springers are a huge waste of time and money, my AEG could out range one and probably be more accurate too!

      my shyte ak would more fun plinking than a springer

  14. Good thing: I got an AWP Asiimov on CS:GO. Bad thing: My scale mecha model was sold in-store 10 minutes before I placed my order. Not sure whether to be beside myself with excitement or crying in a corner.

    4. Caliber

      Asiimov is one of the rarest (and best looking) skins for the AWP in CS:GO and I happened to get it. Bummed because of my model though, but I found another one. £5 more expensive though, but I'll take the bullet.

  15. So...what's the deal with miracle barrels?

      but I'm sure many will say not quite so n all that but does seem that tighter is not always better

      i have one in my tm recoil, its alright, i dont have any problems with it but it doesn't add any insane distance to the bb

    4. Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies

      Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies

      In theory they should work well,but the Manufacturing quality on the barrel is sub par,especially for a 70 dollar barrel so mosto f the performance gains are thrown out the window in comparison to PDi or prometheus. I'd avoid them since they are over priced for what they are,if you want to spend a lot of a barrel go for PDi or prometheus.

      Won't be a main, just an AEG backup for the cold months, or if my G36C decides to flop. How's the compatability on the innards, incase I want to upgrade it somewhere down the line?

  21. Alright, lever-action springers... Any cheap ones or would I have to splash out for a detailed Winchester replica?

    1. Chock

      Chock

      A&K make a gas powered underlever 1892 model Winchester (i.e. the cliche John Wayne cowboy rifle), which you can easily find for about 140 quid if you look around, there is a two tone available, as well as a full wood and metal one. It has a mag capacity of 30, which is twice what the real thing had.

    2. Chock

      Chock

      Note that it is pretty hot BTW, firing at about 400-450 fps with .20 BBs, so you ain't gonna be using it for indoor CQB, but most external sites would class it as a sniper rifle anyway because it's a single shot lever action, so effectively similar to a bolt action sniper rifle. It is pretty accurate at long range though, so it could indeed be used to snipe.

    3. Caliber

      Caliber

      Thanks for the info, Chock. Only 140 and it's gas, sounds like a bargain to me.

      WE 339C (G36C). Gas is for it aswell. Need to buy (another) silencer and a full RIS front end to complete the G36SD I'm going for, like this but with the normal G36C stock: http://www.airsoftnews.fr/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/JG-AEG-G6088-AG-2-550x416.jpg
