I don't think you HAVE to go to uni to get a good job. Most people go just for the sake of going and come out 3 years later 30 grand poorer and still can't get a job.
I started work at 16 and worked my way up. Now I'm a sales manager at 28 earning a decent enough wage. Only go to uni if you know what you want to do requires a degree like law etc
Getting a trade through an aprenticeship may be a good idea if your into the practical side of things.
+1 on that, I went collage did Motorsport mechanics couldn't get a job after I finished, thought about going to uni and progressing through that field but while phoning around for temp mechanic jobs for something on the side they said they wanted experience.
How can I get experience if no1 will employ someone with minimum experience?
So knocked that on the head, started working at an engineering company, worked my way up, now at 23 I program and setting CNC machines and tell people twice my age how to use them.
Always try get involved in a job you don't know even if your just watching as you will pick up a lot of things. The people twice my age have never seemed interested in doing that and that's why they now come to me to sort there problems.
People have joined from uni with there fancy degrees, but in the real world they don't know nothing, they are good at the job on paper but have no real experience on the machines.
Many have come and all have left.

I heard of a kid in the midlands who made £14k in 2 years of running a black market for sweets & drinks in his school. The school found out and expelled him though.
He must of been really good at hiding what he was doing to last 2 years.
-
Saying that I remember when I was young I used to go the local market on a Friday before school, buy loads of cheap out of date sweets, drinks, crisps and the like and I used to treble my money, spent a fiver, got 15 quid back by the end of the day.You could run a gaming service for your mates earning them XP on BF4 and similar? At 14 I made most my money raketeering whatever the latest collectable playground craze was at the time, but it's all computer games now so bit trickier...
(I can always remember a sour sweet/drink thing called a brain licker was the best seller)
Up until the school found out and threatened me and my mate with being expelled if we didn't stop :/

On the back of my house I have a water butt attached to the drain pipe, could use the water from that, makes the buissness eco friendly aswell.
But if I was 14 I would just use my mom's water, fill up my pressure sprayer with water and some chemicals go do a round and come back for more if need be.
Could even be £3 a month, if you do enough houses you would still get a lot more then a paper round.
-
That's genius! Wish I had thought of that when I was 14! :-)
Tbh so do I, when I was 14 I did nothing. Now I have a full time job I would still do this if I didn't do so many hours and had some spare time.

Just had a look and it does look amazing, especially the overnight experience.
Just a shame it's 150 miles away for me.
Some of the pictures, people have got kitted out guns with sights on, so think they may let you take your own gun but limit your mags or ammo.
If you can't find any decent reviews but you really want to go then you may have to bite the bullet and just try it.

It is literally the title, Zombiexperience
Is this a airsoft zombie experience?
I've been on a zombie bootcamp experience at a place called RAM Training and that was amazing.
If you like a good fight that is, people had broken fingers cuts all down legs and arms, I had a massive gash on my knee, but all in good fun, adds to the realism.

At 14 you won't be on the books and it will be cash in hand, which will be less then the minimum wage.Highly doubt you'll find any jobs where you can do mundane stuff such as peeling potatoes or collecting glasses etc.
Minimum wage still applies right? No one in their right mind would pay anyone that young so much to do so little.
Ask parents if they have any jobs you can do for them for some extra money, go round your relatives house ask them aswell, cut grass, paint walls, wash cars etc.
Everyone hates how much there wheelie bin smells, so go round, knock on people's door and ask if they want them cleaning for £3 a week write down the date there bin is collected and ask them to leave it empty for the day after they are collected for you to clean. Then get your self one of those hand pressure sprayers and some good cleaning products and off you go. Do a big enough area and u could have work everyday, say you do 20 bins that's £60 a week which is a lot more then a paper round.
Only down side is you would need some overalls as I bet it would get smelly. But it's money.

Done the half cycle method and it was still around 340 dropped about 5 fps, so I adjusted the hop ever so slightly now it's running around 335.The other thing to try is cycling the gun in auto so that the piston stops part way through the cycle and remains partly compressed. Leave it like that for 48-72 hours and you will find the spring will loose a little bit of its tensile strength, like cutting about half a coil off the spring. Then retest on the chrono. At your site you probably want to aim for an average of 338 with a max / min of +/- 5 FPS, which should keep you safely under the site limit. I once did this by mistake and left a spring half cocked for two months and lost about 60 FPS initially, but continued use then saw that climb back up to a loss of about 20 FPS overall.
So cheers for that lads, should be all sorted now ready for the first game of the year, hopefully Saturday.

Had a search and can't find anything other then extra mags.
Are the seals just standard o-rings in the valves on the mags?
-
When u look at it, it's no surprise that it took longer to arrive, then my sight and adaptor did and they come from Hong Kong, standard delivery.
So you seen it here first guys the all new "blue snakeskin camo" coming to an event near you.
-
Cheers guys, gonna try the method RR01 said and leave it at that then.

Apparently airsoftworld doesn't really understand the two tone malarkey, but I'm not going to complain as it's hidden when I hold it
Much prefer this then the slide being painted.
Sight is slightly off but I cba to sit and fiddle with it for ages getting it bang on.
Also sorry for everyone's neck having to tilt.

My site target is 330 but 350 max, with the ten shots I do for the chrono 1 or 2 go over 350 so want to drop it down abit.
Yeah spring is an element one, compared to my old spring it is slightly longer and does seem a few thou thicker.
When I first compared it I did think, shouldn't this be thinner or shorter.
I'll have a watch of some videos and some research into it.
-
Well I decided last night to charge my battery so it was defiantly full.
Then did what sp00n said and put the old spring back in, now it works perfectly fine, have no idea why.
I did exactly the same as before but with the original spring.
This m95 spring is supposed to reduce my fps so surly it would take less force to pull back?
My fps is the same as it was before, floating around the 345 mark.
-
The video I watched while doing it mentioned the spring so I made sure it was the right way.
Decided as JD Airsoft is my closet store, I'm going to ring them tomorrow morning and see if they will have a look and if they will drop it off.
-
Cheers for the help
-
Well I play cqb and it's single shot only, so there is no need for lipos so guess this would be perfect for me, if I decide to play outdoor I'll just buy a new gun.

Do you know where I can just buy a fully built gearbox, tokyo marui preferably as most of there guns I've seen shoot low 300's so can just drop it in.
-
I'll have to take it apart again tonight as I have gone out now cause it was annoying me. (Get some fresh air, before I smash it into a million pieces)
I know the ar latch is right, as first time I took it apart it wasn't so then realised where it was supposed to go.
-
M95.
Yes, tried the gun before I dismantled it and was firing fine.
From as far as I can tell it is, the spring guide has the locating pieces on it and I put them where the corresponding locating positions were on the gearbox housing.
-
I brought a new spring for my g&g combat machine m4.
Took it all apart and changed the spring.
Once it was all together I checked the air nozzle/tappet plate, it does move back and spring forward, after I connect the battery and try trigger I get the sound of gears moving then it sounds like it jams, the air nozzle/tappet plate is now stuck in the back position and won't spring forward.
This is my first RIF so have no clue what I'm doing, followed a video, tried assembling it together about 3-4 times and I get exactly the same results.
Can anyone with experience tell me where I'm going wrong?
-
No, you could legally arrest them if you honestly belived they were committing Burglary. You couldn't how ever beat them up with a big stick if they offered no violence towards you.
Stop being an obtuse nob.
Just a genuine question that's all.
There are people in this country who defend there homes and are penalised for it, with the intruder made out to be the victim.
I for one think that if you break into someone's home, the home owner should be able to do what they see fit towards you (apart from mutilate or kill)
The Towers - First and Only
in General Discussion
Posted
Looked to book the towers a few weeks ago and there no dates on the website, so I assumed that it had been fully demolished now.
Last night I had an email saying that there is a skirmish date coming up for the towers.
My question is - How much of the site is left? Is it worth going anymore?
Last time I went the main corridor had been demolished, which meant the games were very linear which ruined the reason why I liked The Towers in the first place.
