  1. Picked up a 8fields plate carrier and appropriate pouches for it. Also just brought a replica 'Tommy' helmet for feck knows for the Milsim next weekend.
  2. Its was down the road from me. I'm not sure it was quite 9000 miles away though
  3. Was making my way around through the woodland with a couple of friends to find an undefended route into an enemy firebase at apocalypse. Had a run in with an enemy player who we quickly got. There was a bush slap bang in the middle of us all which we had all looked at briefly then thought nothing of it. As we were walking away it stood up and shot us all in the back.
  4. Propane! Green Gas is propane with silicon added along with a much higher price tag for the same amount of gas. Grab a Propane adaptor and some Colmans and in the long run you will be saving money. All you do when you screw the adaptor on is put in a couple of drops of silicon into the bottle top.
  5. I thought it was said booking for this was going to be after the Tailspin?
  6. That was the Exchange Rate Mechanism that caused it as we were paired off with the deutschmark. Idea was it would stabilize the currencies in Europe to make trade easier and setting up a shared currency easier. But as you say leaving it after they panicked and pulled out of the ERM helped in the long run. Pulling out arguably helped Major lose the next election ironically though. Another interesting fact I picked up through my current course is that the day after we joined the EU our exports plummeted and have never regained since... Oh and some crackpot in the EU thinks that the Union forming its own army will actually help with controlling Putin Start a war mabye but help... I dont think so.
  7. You guys seem to be getting a far better deal then the rest of the UK! The current system cant be working that badly for you...
  8. The greatest Irony I found with the debate was the section on the NHS. Milliband was cutting into Cameron over 'ruining' the NHS. Next minute the Welsh lady turned round and ripped into Milliband pointing out it was his party that cut spending in Wales... Ill probably vote conservative as the local MP seems to actually be a stand up guy who is not afraid to go against even his own party. UKIP certainly make a very good argument and Europe has been a cancer to us as far as our exports are concerned. However Cameron has promised a referendum anyway and if he does not deliver he can kiss my vote goodbye next time.
  9. Just sold my SUSAT 15 minutes after putting it up on FB :o

      I suppose you could use the zoom for ID-ing targets in the distance

  10. What are peoples views on the effectiveness of the non magnified ACOG clones? How well do they work as an RDS?

  11. There was a 9mm conversion for the AUGs but they still used a propriety magazine. I have never heard of a conversion for one to an MP5 magazine and if by some miracle someone made a conversion magwell for an airsoft rifle I would imagine it would be to run replica 9mm AUG magazines and not MP5 ones. I dont think it would work anyway though as the feed nipple sits towards the front of the magwell but the magazine release is at the back. A MP5 magazine is a lot shorter so the magazine catch would need a hell of a lot of work. To actually do it it would cost more then just buying some regular AUG magazines. Edit Here is a link to some info on the real steel ones: http://www.steyr-aug.com/aug9mm.htm
  12. FFS, just found out I am missing the take down pin for my L85 :/ This rifle really is a master at shaking itself apart.

  13. and the 1 direction poster to brighten your day at singing on
  14. Slightly off topic but does anyone find certain chrono's really dont like GBB? I have an xcortech something or another and I have some problems getting it to read shots with the L85. The site I played at today used the same one and in 10 rounds only one registered.
  15. Propane (Camping Gas such as Colamans) lasts a lot longer then green gas. I'm still on the first can of Propane and I have done 1 1/2 skirmish with it +quite a few mags through it setting the rifle up. Its about £20 for 2 cans of propane and then about 15-25 for the adaptor which will last ages as long as you look after it. Bare in mind this is on a gas rifle as well which had a much much bigger gas reserve in the magazine.
  16. Failed attempt at setting up the NPAS :/ think im going to wind the whole lot out and see what happens sunday. Did not actually read a shot above 300 so should be ok... famous last words :)

      Got it set up after dinner. I think the two plates on the side of the blot carrier were too tight again and were stopping it resetting right :/

  17. Only AUG TM makes these days are the High Cycles ones which are fugly. For a regular AUG new its either JG,APS or AGS. Second Hand there are a fair few Classic Army or TM ones floating around.
  18. Ubunto is great, till you want to do anything with it and realise the horror of the command lines. I brought the wrong OS when I built mine and had Ubunto installed as a temporary measure. Installing the OS was easy but past that I did not even bother trying to install anything and just used it as a browser. Get a copy of windows ASAP unless you really want to learn how to use Linux.
  19. Anyone have a dead AUG A2 i can nick the receiver off of? :) Willing to give something towards it of course.

  20. Damm your build flex, I really like that case :/
  21. That is just a fan splitter to make the case a bit neater. What plug are you confused about?
  22. I've seen companies list G36 pouches as suitable for AUGs as well. Personally I use STANAG pouches fine.
  23. My case looks so boring and ugly now
  24. Here are my 2 so far: First up is a bog standard L85A2 with Susat: Before anyone picks me up on it I know the front sight pillar needs to come of Second Rifle is an F88 Austeyr: Note i've only created the Original or A1 version of the rifle Thale produced by using a TM body and a Beta Project F88 Flash hider. Here is a good comparison picture which shows the difference between a Thale AUG and the original Austrian version: They are both carbine versions hence why the barrels a bit different. Unfortunetly I lost the Gas Block on my rifle falling down a hill which is why you cant see it in the pictures of mine :/ What I would really like to create one of Thale's A2 variants: Converting an airsoft A2 receiver should be possible, however no one sells the dam things separate so I have a hunt on my hands. The A1 works nicely for me though as the NZ armed forces used DPM's, MK6 helmets and various forms of british webbing but, ironically enough due to the uselessness of the L85A1, they still use the F88A1s still to this day.
