Personally, I bought a roll of british army sniper tape just to cover up the red on my gun. Plus, it's super useful and pretty hard-wearing for a whole host of other botch jobs you need to do in day-to-day life.

I really hope they one day try this shit on someone who knows Krav Maga or Systema or something, just so they get smashed bollocks, a broken arm and a period of unconciousness for the privilege. As others have said, their rap sheet runs long as it stands. They clearly know what they are doing is illegal in all sorts of ways. Mainly shown by the way the police show up on the scene after every one of their "pranks" and they have to run from them. That they haven't been arrested - or worse - for this yet is, quite frankly, a miracle of policing. Especially when there's so much concern on the police's part for security in this country at the moment.

I went looking for 5 MAG brand AK74 magazines and was recommended this site. The prices were very reasonable and competitive with eHobby Asia - who were my first choice, but were out of stock at the time. Hence, I went to place an order. Firstly, I filled out the order form and opted to pay by paypal. For some reason, paypal wouldn't authourise payment. In all fairness, they (AegCart Asia) emailed me straight away to tell me as such, and told me I could either pay directly to their email address through paypal, or place a second order and that hopefully that order would go through. I opted for the latter and entered the exact same info, aside from using the email address tied to my paypal account as a contact, instead of my regular one. The second order went through successfully and, again, they emailed me to confirm this and thank me. I'm not sure if the payment issue was the difference in email address between paypal and contact, or if the problem was their end, but it was a problem nonetheless. Delivery was quick, taking around a week to reach me. However, having just opened the package, there are 5 CYMA AK47 midcaps, not the 5 MAG AK74 midcaps I thought I had ordered. So in summary; some issues ordering, the customer service was very good, as was the delivery time, but I have ended up overall with totally the wrong product. Not sure if this is just an outlier in terms of their track record, but I would be lying if I said I'm not slightly annoyed. Based on my own personal experience, I won't be ordering from here again.

Thanks. As for the second part, Hotline Miami is one of my favourite games of all time. That should say it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRtxavxTmiY

Thanks for the image Yeah, Vektroid is crazy, man. She has like 28 billion different Vaporwave monikers that she's pushing stuff through - and it's all pretty different, too. Don't know how she does it. I do like her PrismCorp Virtaul Enterprises, 情報デスクVIRTUAL and Sacred Tapestry stuff the most, though. Thanks for the image, that will definitely come in useful for delving a bit deeper! I had seen a much, much smaller version of that somewhere else with like 15 albums or something on it, but that seems like a really comprehensive guide. When it comes to the stuff you posted, I have to be honest and say I really wasn't into the rap side of things - not that I don't like rap on principle or anything, but this stuff just wasn't really my thing. That Whitearmor vid was pretty nice though. A different type of vaporwave to the stuff I usually gravitate to within the genre, but still pretty nice. More subtle and chilled kind of stuff going on there. Really, these mixes totally sum up my taste when it comes to vaporwave. (Also, this is relevant to the thread, because I have been all over these mixes for the past few days. So don't tell me off, mods. )

Oh yes mah man. I'm gonna have to (try to) look some of those artists up. ECO VIRTUAL is some really good stuff. Also really been feeling Luxury Elite, t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 and waterfront dining lately. I'm more into that kind of smooth, easy listening type of vape rather than the choppier, weirder stuff. For example, Ecco Jams Vol. 1 had some good tracks for me (B4 is still amazing) but most of it was just too disjointed and broken for my tastes. Still, of all the places I didn't expect to find a fellow Vaporwave fan...

Been on a constant Vaporwave trip as of late.

Baby's First Russian Loadout (I don't have a mirror big enough to take a photo of myself wearing it and I'm still waiting for some MAG midcaps, but there ya go.)

Basically, when it comes to attitude and work ethic, I always repeat something that was said to me a long time ago; "Find a job you love doing and you won't work a day in your life."

So here's my personal experience, when I was your age. I freaked out. After school finished, I had no idea what I was going to do, where I was going in my life, even who I was as a person. I felt I had no ideals, no real options for a meaningful career and - like you - I thought I would never go to Uni as it wasn't my thing and was just a useless experience that just ends in debt and doesn't really further your job prospects. So I got a job for six months, saved up everything I could and went to the other side of the world on expedition for 3 months. That completely changed my life. It gave me everything I thought I had been missing and more. After it, I had a focus. And I pursued it. I then decided I DID actually want to go to Uni and chose to study a specific course and as a result, I have ended up in a very specific field that I feel really passionate about. Other friends at Uni chose to study something that they "just kind of had an interest in, really" and as a result they have ended up not really working where they wanted to - which they would have been able to, had they studied a more specific course. I really, honestly think that when it comes to making the decision on going to Uni or not, you are WAY too young at 18 to make it. So basiaclly, my advice would be to take some time out from education. Do something that challenges you. Really puts you out of your comfort zone and something that might seem like a real head-in-the-clouds type of thing, because not only does it help cement you as a person and a personality, but it helps you define what exactly it is you want to do at Uni, if you do decide to go eventually. Try a few different jobs here and there to help you pin down what you do and do not want from a career and finally - as the other have said - GO TO UNI. It's a really, really useful experience for all kinds of things (from living on your own, to managing your finances, to maintaining social relationships and more) and helps you narrow down even more what your path is.

I am SO hyped for this game. Not only does it look fantastic both graphics and gameplay-wise, but the subject matter seems really interesting. I don't know of any other game that has covered the Russio-Afghan war before, full-stop - and if I know Kojima, he will be tying in plenty of in-depth history to accompany his own specific brand of wacky. I am a huge fan of MGS and I'm pretty sure once this comes out, this is all I will be playing for months on end. Anyone else?

"I hear it's amazing when the famous giant purple stuffed worm in flapjaw space, with a tuning fork, does a raw blink on Hairi Kairi Rock! I need scissors!! 61!" Simultaneously the most ridiculous and most genius line I have ever heard in a videogame.

Been a while but... PAYDAY! Just picked myself up the basics to become a sort-of-1980s Soviet soldier. - KLMK oversuit - 5x MAG AK74 midcaps - Chicom Chest Rig By the way, Ian... Could you let me know how the quad stack mag is? I was interested in picking one up.

That's great news... I've been on the same boots myself for 4 years, mainly because I bought a pair for an expedition and by the time I was done with the 3 months, they were completely dead. I then got a free pair of the same the second time around, because the shop I bought them from said they were just poorly made... But I have the same problem happening again - sole coming off and absolutely NO waterproof quality at all. I've been hoping for a good pair that will keep my feet dry and it sounds like I've found them!

Cavninja, how are those boots? I just got exactly the same pair for christmas but I haven't had a chance to get out and give them a go yet. Specifically, how waterproof are they?

I'm looking for some MAG brand AK74 midcaps and found two sites that seem to offer them considerably cheaper than the UK stores; eHobby Asia and AegCart Asia. I have seen a lot posted about eHobby on the forums here and they generally seem to be recognised as a good place to get your gear at a cheaper rate, with little hassle. However, I have seen very little info on AegCart. They both come out at virtually the same price (AegCart Asia is about £1.10 more expensive) so service, speed of delivery, and reliability is what I'm really interested here. Can anyone weigh in on which would be the better to go for?

The ultimate in marmite electronic tracks.

Perhaps you're right, yeah. Foam is a good shout. I've used that stuff for various projects before and it does hold pretty solid. (On a bit of a derail) What are the general rules regarding airsoft and bayonet/knife kills and such anyway? Of course, real knives aren't allowed and neither is anything that might cause someone serious harm, but what is generally accepted on the field?

Ah, I meant that the body is plastic, but the blade is flexible rubber. Pic from another site is below. Sorry if I worded that in a confusing way.

I've been looking for an authentic bayonet that I can hopefully use in a game and I came across this; http://www.hlj.com/product/ari50508/Mil It's all 1:1, so it shouldn't be an issue fitting it onto a gun, the blade seems to be pretty flexible rubber based on other pictures of the assembled set, so it should all be fine to take onto the field, but it does require assembly as it looks to be a model kit. As such, I have no idea how robust it would be assembled, nor how easy it is to assemble in the first place, but I thought I would share this as the price is crazy low. I have seen this set advertised elsewhere for upwards of £45, excluding shipping, but this site seems to offer it for about £11, shipping to the UK included. Might be worth a purchase for those out there looking for an authentic (well, maybe "authentic" with a bit of weathering and alteration to the bakelite texture) but airsoft-friendly bayonet for their 74s. Thoughts?

Ian; Thanks for the advice - very useful stuff. I have just been casually looking at a few smersh options on good old ebay and they are relatively affordable, once I actually start getting some disposable income with the new job in January. So even cheaper equals even more affordable. I'll definitely keep that site in mind. I don't really have a real-world loadout I am going for specifically, but I am a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid series and since I have a 74, I thought I would go for something loosely from Peace Walker (which - coincidentally - is set in 1974). Lozart; Thanks for the heads up, but as I'm after more of an authentic look, I'm looking to get some bakelite magazines, rather than the metal 47 mags. Cheers nonetheless, though!

I am simply SQUIZZLER. Mostly playing non-stop GTA V at the moment, but I play a ton of BF4 as well. Also looking forward to The Division, Rainbow Six: Siege and once MGS 5 comes out, my PS4 will no longer play any other games, as I will not allow it.
