    Having finally got a job, I got paid yesterday. Theres a WW2 airsoft game today but I have to work. The really annoying thing is I have to work less than a mile away from where the game is :(

    BASRs generally get a 50fps lead on DMRs.

    One day I will get around to getting my SMLE working again. It was gas powered so maybe I will use HPA and you can bet that it will beat the ROF of any restricted DMR :ph34r: The SMLE was noted for the ROF that troops were able to get out of it and unlike spring powered snipers, gas power...

    Platform for Designated Marksman Rifle Build

    A good cheap starting point would be a CYMA M14. You can get one from Taiwangun.com for about £100 and CYMA have a good reputation for hopup units. M14's are apparently quite easy to work on.

    Ics upgrade question.

    Don't upgrade stuff unless something isn't working. 310fps is a bit lower than average but still reasonable. Indoor sites often limit guns to 328fps, so I would try not to go over that. Fancy barrels and hop rubber arrangements are generally a hit or miss affair and if you get it right, will...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    People who think my guns are just toys because WW2 era airsoft guns must be less effective than their fancy M4 right? People running away from grenades. Because airsoft grenades have long fuses to make them safe, it is possible to reach cover or a safe distance before they go bang. In the...

    What mesh for eye pro?

    There are 2 types of steel mesh. The most common type in cheap eyepro is thin metal sheet with lots of holes punched in it. The other type is interwoven steel wire. The punched metal sheet will vary in quality but is usually inferior to interwoven mesh. The interwoven mesh will spread...

    Some advice needed

    Rather than think about a gun for her, think about expanding your collection and sharing it with her. If none of your current guns suit her, consider an MP5, G36C or similar. A pair of his and hers MP9's or MP5K's would also open up the possibility of one of you dual wielding for a laugh. If...

    spinal damge would playing a sniper work best

    BB hits are unlikely to damage your back. BB's are small and have very little mass behind them. When they hit skin they can cause damage to the skin but rarely cause any bruising as they do not have enough energy to damage deep enough. Baggy clothing is better for absorbing bb hits than...

    Cheap M1A1 Thompson's

    There is talk of following it up with a No1 MkIII* so I will wait. The SMLE was used in all theatres by all commonwealth countries, the No4 was only really used in Europe after 1942. That and the SMLE uses a P1907 bayonet which is a hell of a lot scarier than the No4 bayonet :)

    Cheap M1A1 Thompson's

    My lee Enfield is by Iron Airsoft. They made 1 batch a couple of years ago. They were prone to problems and my one no longer works. Still great for reenactment though. The shoot and scoot Lee enfields are currently the best bet. However there is information that Red Wolf Airsoft may be...

    Cheap M1A1 Thompson's

    Also check out whatpriceglory.com and http://stores.ebay.co.uk/spearheadmilitaria/ Bear in mind that British battledress is made from the itchiest scratchiest wool imaginable. Denim battledress is an option and is also cheaper. Epicmilitaria.com is also worth a look I did a guide a while...

    Cheap M1A1 Thompson's

    Be aware that if you decide to get WW2 kit then it starts getting expensive. Check out ww2airsoft.org.uk though as it does open up some very fun games. Both my main guns are actually the AGM Sten. One is stock and the other has been used as a base for a custom made Owen gun for use with...

    Cheap M1A1 Thompson's

    There are 3 brands of thompson worth even looking at: TM and King Arms.make the best ones by a long way. Cyma do a basic one which should be okayish. If you read the legal section, the rule about being 18 applies to the buyer in selling a RIF (non 2-tone)or IF (2-tone). It doesn't apply to...

    First Experience...

    Well done, sounds like you have perfected the sport already. Just 1 more skill to learn before you are a pro. How to tell the story of how you stumbled around the woods completely lost, fell over, ran out of ammo and got shot, to you mates in such a way that it makes you sound like Rambo :D

    Fast Helmets

    A hat will absorb the impact of a bb. Boonies are quite good at this as the fabric is heavy enough and loose enough to absorb the impact. My slouch hat is even better, but I'm not about to recommend everyone wears one of those :) Helmets may help if you run into low hanging branches or...

    Fast Helmets

    Give me a nice hat over a helmet any day. Helmets tend to be too regular in shape so get spotted easily. They also make your head a bigger target.

    Increasing range and accuracy

    Everyone expects barrel length to increase accuracy. Simple answer is it doesn't. Complex answer: There is a minimum length needed for a bb to stabilise in the barrel. Anything below this and accuracy will be impaired. That minimum length is really short. In fact this is only a factor to...
