    Did I do the right thing?

    Hahaha when I read it back I guaranteed myself someone would jump on that. Scale up the distances, factor in real rounds. Get properly 'Real' I mean in reality a warfighter in a marksman role would not select a P90 as a sniper weapon. The weapon - and the round it was designed to fire, which of...

    Like scoutthedoggie?

    Ack, didn't notice I'd used the word. I've made that exact response myself, Nick. Looks like you caught me red-handed in the act of being a hypocrit! :P There is a negative there that I was trying to point out despite lacking the vocabulary, though. God knows it's not always easy to remember...

    Did I do the right thing?

    Haha very true NH Shooter! I suppose he could go both ways! Though the fact he took the hit from Rusty's reaction suggests he has at least a grain of honour in him. To walk away without challenging the play speaks of a calm mature player, too - I would certainly have voiced complaint to Rusty...

    Did I do the right thing?

    I love seeing threads like this. People being genuinely honourable in this our game of honour. I personally don't put much stead in the bang kill rule, I think it's a cop-out and I'd rather everyone be prepared to take a few nasty dings every now and again; especially when AEG FPS limits and...

    Like scoutthedoggie?

    GMR, what a bunch of losers. I really liked the teamwork ethic that I saw in their team videos, they were among the first ones I watched. Then I saw some footage of them that wasn't heavily edited and doctored (by them) to hide their dirty tactics. If you have fifteen guys, all geared to the...

    zombie apocalypse.....would your gun do the job!?

    I don't think the people suggesting guns are thinking far enough ahead. Sure, you can cap the first 10-50 Zeds pretty quickly and - let's remember why automatic weapons rule(/d) the world for so long - effectively, but I think it's pretty common zombie mythology that "standby" Z's (that is, ones...

    what is a DMR

    DMR is a bit of a buzzword in airsoft. Essentially an airsoft DMR is an accurised and (importantly) more consistent version of a standard AEG. So you get your gat; you do some gearbox goodness so that you're always generating the same power; you pimp your hop in your chosen way and...

    In game advice

    By any chance could somebody post the basic text link for the above-discussed video please? The device I use to browse this forum can't load embedded media but I'm dying to see this!

    In game advice

    "Don't be scared to take charge of a situation" <== This. It's remarkable how many times your entire team will stack up on a main route, get contacted and bogged down and NOT try to innovate, happy to just sit and duckshoot. So what it's your first time? Try tapping the rearguard on the...

    Rifle maintenance/cleaning

    I'm surprised you didn't get a more emphatic version of this already: DO NOT USE WD40! Keep that stuff well away from any part of your gun. Petroleum-based lubes will degrade the rubber parts of your weapon, as Swoop mentioned. Earlier posters have covered everything, I just wanted to drop a +1...

    Thinking of starting Airsoft in Northern Ireland

    I'm a glasses wearer, and I strongly recommend getting some contact lenses to skirmish in. I strongly recommend contacts to anyone unfortunate enough to need corrective eyewear though, it just makes you more... Actiony. Does me, at least. Then there's the practicals: keeping spectacles on under...

    Thinking of giving airsoft a go

    I was waiting for someone to give him the downside! It's the most fun you'll ever have with your clothes on mate, but there's no denying it's a very pricey hobby! Best of luck though friend, one taste and you'll be hooked! ;)

    P90 Non-firing issue, help!

    Yeah I didn't force the mechbox back in or anything, it's just that I don't see how anything could've done such a number on the nozzle tip unless it was colliding with the hop unit in some way.. I'll get it looked at I guess. This thing has been endless trouble since halloween :S

    P90 Non-firing issue, help!

    Mmkay, so you reckon it's the nozzle's fault? How invasive is a nozzle replacement? I've never touched my gearbox out of a fear akin to a medieval villager's fear of magick, I just do not feel confident about my ability to get in and out of that assembly without screwing something up. Do you...

    P90 Non-firing issue, help!

    Hey guys, wondering if anyone here can help me. I have a damn-near-stock Asia Electric P90 which isn't firing. At first I thought it was a jamming issue being caused by a dirty hop bucking, but after breaking down the barrel group and cleaning every piece, it still hasn't helped. I haven't...

    DIY

    With regards to the whole Tactical Fez thing... I ran it past the seamstress I work with today and she's happy to put a few together should anybody want in but not have the requisite crafting skill. I know it started out as a joke, but these could be a hilarious unifying feature for all those...

    What was your first Airsoft gun, would you ever sell it?

    Well a couple christmases ago my father bought a couple of cheap unbranded spring shotguns (clear plastic pistol-grip Spas 12s) just to put under the tree, like. They came with about a hundred cheapy BBs (undefined weight) and about the same number of BB Paintballs. After a christmas day pissing...

    OP: Shining Light @Copehill Down FIBUA Village VENUE CHANGED TO SENNYBRIDGE

    Christ Ian, that's a bit Gandhi for 0600! :P So I got onto HAS-MAD, in the same boat as everyone else now: looking for decent non-dpm to wear. Love the fez idea, where do I sign? ;)

    Looking for a one handed AEG

    I notice somebody listed the P90 up there. It's not 'one handed' in the same way as a machine pistol, but I don't have a sling for mine (just haven't gotten around to ordering one) and more than once I've been compromised while climbing and been able to efficiently return fire one-handed. I...
