JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Lozart in What are you listening to?
I know you're listening to it because of the film but I find the Peter Gabriel version needlessly maudlin and far inferior to the original:

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to ConfusedDad in Airsoft cherry popped
Airsoft cherry popped and loved it!!!! Had a great day out with my son, who loved it too. Bloody hard work though, need to shed a few pounds and get some sort of fitness (currently at sloth level lol).
A big thank you to everyone at Groundzero and players who were friendly, helpful and welcoming.
Can't wait to play again !!!!!!!

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Rogerborg in Booking ends at midnight....
Sounds like GearGrindr.
Nope, I pay to go to an airsoft site to play airsoft, not to talk about playing airsoft. I can do that here free and without travelling.
Still, I am grateful for their honesty that the actual play (if any breaks out) will be a completely chaotic whangfest.

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to ConfusedDad in Dad and son new to airsoft
Thanks Shamal
Got the eye and face protection, gloves and boots sorted as don't fancy losing and eye or teeth (difficult one to explain away bringing my son home with a gaping smile lol) and it's my son's birthday so made for easy presents lol.
Yes going to rent to start with but been looking at shiny things (oh so tempting !!!) and before I jump head long in to the rabbit hole, getting a general heads up on what's good and what's not would be very helpful. We both like the look and feel of the M4 platform and I believe it's the best for upgrades and add ons.
Thanks for your help and maybe meet you on the field one day!

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to ConfusedDad in Dad and son new to airsoft
Hello everyone
Dad and son combo new to airsoft!!!! Any top tips on what to do and what not to do would be welcome, especially as I'm no spring chicken and the prospect of running around for the day fills me we dread lol.
Any advice on AEG rifles, what to look out for, what's good and what's not etc would be welcome too (I understand there is a qualifying period and joining UKARA before purchasing a solid colour set up). I'd be budgeting around £300 - £400 for each of us and that would include weapon, mags, batteries, chargers etc etc.
Look forward to hearing your words of wisdom
Thanks
Confused Dad

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Tactical Pith Helmet in Worst injury from airsoft
Not a fan of making things compulsory myself, but...
It can spoil the atmosphere when an adult player looses a tooth and gets pissy about it. There are enough options out there for decent facepro tbh; and moaning about the results of one's own decisions is a bit un-manly IMHO.

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Floperator in Worst injury from airsoft
Got to be honest I don't get not wearing full face, to me it's as nuts as not wearing eye pro.
Had enough dental pain and cost in my life that I just don't understand why you would put yourself in a position where you could get your teeth shot out.
Probably an unpopular opinion but I think full face should be compulsory.

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Druid799 in Worst injury from airsoft
Positive from a negative, from the point of view of a person who has to fix said boo boo I’d much rather work on a baldy barstuard that someone with flowing locks . Always get a better result on the open tundra than you do in the jungle , if ya catch ma drift ? 😉

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to lucaslu1709 in Another London Newbie
Agreed with Mr no face. Bunker 51 can be quite full on for newbies, and it also gets very muggy in there, or at least it was last time I went. Fun site, just a bit too open and dark in most areas for my liking.
If you can make it, north west london has some pretty good sites; Red1 the school and Red1 oblivion in kings langley are both very, very good for gbbr gameplay; the school is an abandoned school and very up close and personal where gbbr hits are real satisfying and you dont have as much of a disadvantage compared to aegs, and oblivion is a more open woodland site but with several nice built up areas for semi cqb action.
If you prefer slower gameplay and more open maps, reforger up the road from Red1 is pretty good, huge map sizes and very open sightlines so great for stalking and sniping just not my speed.
And finally, you can't say you spent 2.5k on an MWS build, and then not show us what it looks like! Pics!

JamesAirsofterAgent got a reaction from Nick G in S&T Lee Enfield Mkiii
Thanks for the info, appreciate it

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Nick G in S&T Lee Enfield Mkiii
I'm seeing about 0.8 j on mine with .30's (about 300 fps in old money) It's incrdibly consistant so I'm happy that it's pretty well sealed . Happily ranges out with aeg's and very accurate too by airsoft standards.
So PB's 395 is optamistic unless mine , which came from PB, is a Japanese market one . Might have a restricter fitted or a weaker spring, I'll have a look when I open it up but not bothering to do that untill something breaks.

How much knowledge do you need to keep the rifle in good condition, is there much maintenance required?
Looking on the PB website it says 395 fps, are a lot of people finding that it is infact lower?

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Daveoc33 in Evike Europe
Evike now have a warehouse in europe (France apparently) and are shipping to the UK.
https://evike-europe.com/ username: Evike Password: Europe for early bird access
use WELCOME20 for 20% off your first order.
They say that orders for the UK are VAT exempt: https://evike-europe.com/delivery-methods - does that mean they pay the VAT?
UK delivery in 2-3 days by DPD (it's not UPS!! )
Free shipping on orders over 150 euros
Customs fees apply (whatever that means)
Might be worth a punt. At a glance it looks like they are gunfire.com-ish prices with some bettter some worse. LCT stuff with euro to GBP exchange rate and 20% off and free shipping comes out quite reasonable.
Some RIFs like the scorpion evo and cyma sr25 are "prohibited from sale" in the UK and a few other countries for reasons unknown.

JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Rogerborg in The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Another decent day at the very-CQB Biohazard. High intensity, not too much faffing around between games, and generally fair and good natured play.
The newer upstairs area is great, with a killhouse maze in the middle that saw the bodies piled like cordwood. I'm surprised they don't make more use of that floor.
The usual complaints regarding marshalling. Too much generic lecturing at briefings, too little enforcement in game. I got cheat called by a gobby grenadier who was adamant that I wasn't behind hard cover and so he must have got me. Every time I shot him, he came back and had another shouty moan about it. Unaware that there was a marshal standing right next to me who'd told me not to take his grenade hit.
Funny up to a point, but she could hear him cheat calling and didn't do anything thing about it. Don't say it if you're not going to enforce it.

Lol, I am sure the Russian soldiers will turn around in fear once they see someone in some Viper chest rigs.

I think the number of trainees would severly decrease if they trained with live rounds at each other.

Good job he had a whole field to aim at, anything smaller & he'd have probably missed it 😂
