  1. I know these feels, the local site is only reachable by personal vehicle or taxi (fecking expensive here) as no public transport goes near it. And then the nearest site is the other side of Wales I believe. Wales is a bitch to travel through xD. Due to work I cant play anyway but if I could here I would have to rely on the university soc to get there and back.

  2. A single one that stings like a bitch or hits something unfortunate is fair play, it's not the other guys fault its bad luck. Them lighting you up on the other hand is their fault and completely unnecessary/painful and far more dangerous.

    TBF I have only had the one bad experience but that was enough to question how much I want to trust a random stranger to not be a complete nob.

  3. There is nothing wrong with the ROF we currently have in airsoft. If you don't dress properly for airsoft you cannot really complain about being shot on auto. If some wants 35rps so what, let them have fun. This is not the military FFS and even if it was, are you gonna complain that your enemy has high rof assualt rifles while you're on semi??? WTF?

     

    I could care less what rof anyone uses because I dress properly for airsoft. Overkill can be done using both semi and auto. Man up you little girls. Let people have their fun.

    Getting shot across the back of the knee caps from 10 metres by a half second burst while 'dressed properly' was a lovely pleasant experience that left me limping for the rest of the day... Dressing properly is not the problem its the fact that people are twats and aim for stupid places and hold the trigger down on something that shoots an unnecessary amount of bbs. I don't play the game to get shot to pieces.

  4. If that's how they get their enjoyment from a game then so be it. Different styles for everyone. As long as it's not shoved down everyone else's throat as being the only way to play the game.
    For the record the Games Workshop clan would go home and paint some more models.

  5. :unsure: errrm no :blink: .

    Haha, i did get 4 high caps. For only two reasons.

    One, I needed more for my scar and two i cant stand wind wheel mags!

    I would rather sound like the doritos band is following me than stand behind a tree getting fired at, while fingering a magazine untill it clicks.

     

    But the frantic reloads mid firefight are the best. You are missing out on some of the fun :P

  6. Its changed a bit as they have had to put some fencing up but it is an interesting site. Gameplay suffers a bit though when there are too many people as it turns into a slogging match. Make sure you have a solid set of boots as the terrain is pretty interesting xD. I've never been up the causeway to the Fob so im not sure what that is like but the FOB itself looks pretty impressive.

    Also if things get bogged down, there is a route around the edge of the lake which generally catches people completely of gaurd.

  7. I've been wanting to write this for a while but wanted to wait until the everything was finally resolved.

    Shoot and Scoot make some very nice custom airsoft weapons mostly ww2 related as well as movie prop weapons and equipment. I ordered a Lee Enfield N04 kit from them on the 1st of June. In kit forms the rifles require some basic prep work (mostly sanding+staining) and then the final assembly. There is a cheaper expert kit form which is slightly cheaper but requires a lot more work.

     

    Upon ordering I only received an initial automated confirmation email. By the following week I had heard nothing so phoned them up just to make sure they received the payment ok and to get a guideline on when it would be ready. I spoke to the owner of the business and was given a quote of two to three weeks which is what I was expecting. After three weeks I had heard nothing and phoned again and was told that it would be done by the following Thursday. This pattern went on for a bit. I actually met them at War and Peace and was given a definite finish date in person for two weeks time. After this time had elapsed and them some I asked for a refund on the order as it was becoming a joke. I asked for that refund on the 11th August and yet again despite several promises that it would be sorted out and a couple of ignored emails on their part I only just got the refund today...

     

    Its a very frustrating experience from a company that I really wanted to like. The staff are friendly to talk to and really know there stuff but their customer service and very basic communication of issues ranges from absolutely appalling to non-existent. Now I have read some accounts of good experience with them and I have also read and heard about several bad experiences. They are definitely lacking in any form of consistency.

     

    One other thing that annoyed me was the excuse for the delays on the rifle. They were apparently waiting for some parts for the kit but they never contacted me at any point to let me know there would be a delay. I also cannot work out why you would advertise something as being in stock when you dont actually have the parts to be able to construct the kit. It seems really counter-intuitive to me as they are then at the mercy of others causing delays for them.

     

    I would consider possibly trying to order something from them in the future, but I will be going in with both eyes wide open next time. I need about 3 years to calm down first though,

  8. I cant make this one :( I normally play as MDF as well as BrightCandle and Zack(cant remember the rest of your forum name). Its somewhere between a skirmish and a Milism. You wont be in endless firefights and the action tends to be very sudden and also over very quickly. There was a lot of cat and mouse going on between the MDF and the 'shadow troop' rebels over the weekend last time.

    You will have control of a large base I think like last time to stick a day bag in. Your only really going to need what you normally take on to a skirmish with you.

  9. planning to go hiking in machu pichu next year, and all of my boots are either cold or all weather ones, which'll probably overheat my feet, anyone got any recommendations for summer boots preferably full length, if at all possible somewhere that sells them in kent so I can try on sizes (size 9 in length, but 12 in width, tends to cause issues with online bought ones)

    Where in kent are you? If you are in north kent you have kentons in Dartford, Platoon Stores in Rochester (also sell Airsoft bits ;) ), Cotswalds at Notcutts in Maidstone.

  10. Someone from a game I was at recently flew in from Denmark. From what he said they were concerned that he was bringing the rifle over just to sell. With 4 rifles I would imagine they will get very sceptical and quite possibly would become very suspicious and believe this is your intention rather then just playing with them.

    (This is his experience with UK custom)
