[How do you fit Airsoft around work and home life?]

Dont work in retail :/ I am not meant to work sundays yet I've only had 6 of this year...

[Patrol Base]

Ordered a Lipo a couple of weeks ago. Aside from the initial confirmation email I have neither heard nor received anything. Sent them an email a few days ago and still no reply. This is feeling like a repeat of my dealings with shoot and scoot.

[SA80 blank firing attachment (bfa)]

Get a WE L85. They make enough noise you may be able to convince some of the more gullible that you are actually firing blanks

[E&L AK74-M where to buy?]

Lct are meant to be fairly comparable I think. Airsoft Zone have them.

[Noobs and Milsims]

The MDF just seemed to have constant battles with shadow troop lol. Felt like we was playing the mouse more then the cat though.

[Noobs and Milsims]

Ben was that you behind me when I double tapped that rebel with my Beretta ?

It was lol. I legged it about 30 seconds after you got away and dived for the first decent looking bush. You got a pretty good kill there.

[Noobs and Milsims]

Its not automatically at every game. Okto have a lot of toys and they bring different ones out of the toy box at each game. This was at the milsim at the weekend. I was on the wrong end of it a couple of times. You just dig in, face down in the dirt and you hear the BBs scything through the ferns above you. It has PKM innards built into a replica steel 50 that needs two men to lift it down.

 

I do not know how we managed to escaped from it when it had us pinned down as the MPF were pushing up on the station. I got caught short by it on the Saturday and chose too surrender rather then eventually get mowed to death. However the rebels have not heard of the Geneva Convention

[Noobs and Milsims]

Why didnt you stop her then ? lol

 

Its not ladies with cabbages you have to worry about, its the men in green with pointy fingers. You're lucky the great unwashed never managed to get their hands on the two pistols we later found stashed in the village !

 

 

She was searched lol. The cabbages were just not seen as a threat at the time oooh did not know about the pistols. The IED was discovered at least though.

[Noobs and Milsims]

I said the innocent looking lady would start it lol

[Things I wish I had known when I started....]

Is that so? How much does GBBR set up cost?

Well so far despite being a noob to the game I managed to fix every problem I had with my L85. All I have done is fuck up my new AEG trying to bring the FPS down so far. There more hands on per game but on the whole far far simpler to work on. On the other hand I probably had a total cost so far of £550 before I sold it on for the gun and the rest of the bits I brought for it. Once I'm staying in private accommodation at uni the following year I may well look into going HPA as it looks far more reliable.

[Gun brands]

Classic Army: Dont tend to see much of them around new these days but by all accounts solid AEGs.

[Things I wish I had known when I started....]

GBBR are simpler then AEGs in the long run.

[UKARA form - Which retailer is best?]

Usually the qualifying site will do it for you, especially if you are having membership ?

 

We (Gunman) do ours.

Andy the owner of UCAP is famous for hating anything involving UKARA. +1 to Combat South though, my first RIF came from them in a hire purchase scheme with UCAP.

[Fresh meat reporting in from East Hampshire!]

Was a lot of mumbling about a new Ucap CQB site due for reveal in portsmouth very soon shortman, which is great news as it only takes me 30mins to get to pompey!

From what I've seen so far sounds like it might be in the South East instead, especially as the Pit is being developed on now.

[The 'Gun Shopping List' Thread (aka 'The Dreamers Arms' Thread)]

F88 (Have)

AK-74(Have)

RPK

L85A2(Had)

Bren Gun Mk1(Have just need to build lol)

L4A3

l1A1 (Wood kit for Aussie look)

Lee Enfield Mk3 and Mk4(Almost had Mk4 )

L7A1

 

Preferably were possible these would all be HPA powered for recoil fun.

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

 

CYMA?

 

I have the CM045 and it's ACE!

Yh its a Cyma CM035 Just need to solder on some Deans Connectors and I will be able to test and chrono it shortly

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

Went for a AKs-74u in the end. Turns out the shipment was mostly for the Ares VZ line which does not quite float my boat. Happy with the AKS though, just need to wire some deans up and chrono it before going midcap hunting.

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

I got mine from gunfire.pl - inc. free shipping & of course no VAT/import duty coming from Poland as it's in the EU.

I would just get one from Poland but the game is only next weekend and I dont trust them frenchies to not cause too big a delay. Living in Kent i've experienced the choas of op stack and would hate to see what it is like on the other side. I've also yet to have a proper visit to an airsoft shop so am looking forward to being able to handle some before taking the plunge.

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

I've got one too - heavy but 'kin lovely! Only thing is, if you're thinking of changing the furniture, zenitco/replica stuff doesn't go straight on without modification. I'm not 100% certain, but i suspect real 'steel' AK wooden furniture may not fit also - there is a bulge in the barrel which prevents the lower handguard from sliding straight on - the handguard would need to be filed out inside (still real steel RPK furniture, as opposed to AK, may have space for the bulge, but you don't tend to see it for sale so could be expensive).

Lol, thats good to know thankyou I dont think I've managed to buy a particularly airsoft rifle yet!

If they still make them when I have the storeage space at uni/money I would love to put a daytona HPA recoil kit into it...

However I need to hope the local shop has them in first else I will need to get something else as a back up.

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

Cyma C\cm.052 RPK

Whats its like? Depending on what my local store has come in on there delivery there is a chance ill be getting one wednesday.

[Biggest disappointments.]

Ordering an Enfield from Shoot and Scoot 2 month ago... Spent half the morning trying to contact them to say its too late to be any use to me now I want my money back.

[Places to shoot it out.]

My home town, home advantage for the win...

[Noobs and Milsims]

Role playing with airsoft guns is the best description for the Okto Games. Its a lot of fun because of it as well. Most of the MDF (Government) team was just in DPMs or Flaktarn with a simple rifle and chest rig or plate carrier. The biggest irony was that the rebels seemed to have the more gucci kit then us...

[what does your other half think of your airsofting??]

Not sure what you mean?

[what does your other half think of your airsofting??]

You lot are sad....

 

Me on the other hand, I'm f*cking miserable

Playing toy soldiers ???

 

I am reenacting famous strategic and tactical battles

 

Yeah OK I'm playing toy soldiers

Toy Soldiers is probably part of the reason I have no judgemental partners to worry about
