    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Gone for some vintage 1940's German design. Walther PPK, spare magazine. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to spend the next week rest of my life sneaking around the house while listening to this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye8KvYKn9-0

    Ares G36C..

    For once, I'd say ARES managed to not completely balls up a design with their G36. True, the original batch was shocking, and was about as reliable as a Soviet nuclear power station - but the newer models (2013+) actually work quite well. I've got one, as has a team mate. Mine is barely used...

    VCRA & retailers undermining it

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ussCHoQttyQ Reading through that email (assuming it's genuine) - I'm struck by one of Frank's comments. This is, IMHO, the main flaw with the VCRA, UKARA, et al - no one really wants to do any of the work. You can report violations as much as you want, but I'll...

    The future of our hobby/sport... so called prank video

    I'm not so sure the images of the police would help, as they could be absolutely nothing to do with the film. Best bet would be to check with the uniforms and their cars, and double check if that's what ARV teams look like wherever this was filmed. (For example, in Southwark & Borough, the...

    Whats the worst experience with 'Cod Softers'

    Back when I used to run my LSW a lot, I had a few younger players asking me why I "wasn't using it with a drum clip like I should be, that's how it is in MW2". After Black Ops, I've been told a few times when using my L85 that I need to "stop using that Enfield, the famous is much better" Then...

    Extreme load outs

    Not my own costume, but If anyone remembers the .gif of a stormtrooper hip-thrusting, I seem to recall reading that he's an airsofter. Part of some annual charity-costume game down South, which someone videoed and put on YouTube. I went airsofting as an 18th century navy captain/WH40K IG...

    Skirmishing in the Rain? Does anyone bother?

    Airsofted in most kinds of weather. I don't mind rain - there are times where I think it really adds to the atmosphere of the game. I still remember one game in a thick wood which, because of the heavy rain and fog, made it look a lot like a Vietnam war film... What I do hate, is humidity. I...

    M249 Vrs L86

    Also the fact that at the time in the mid 1980s, they were priced at about £250 per magazine. Which was about 3/4s of the price of the LSW they were meant for, so you can see why the idea issuing (several) drum-mags to each LSW gunner was quietly dropped.

    Sons of Guns

    I see Sons of Guns and American Guns as the TV equivalent of a car crash. I know I shouldn't watch, part of me hates myself for watching it... but I can't stop. That said, the episode where they turn a box of scrap metal into a working L4 Bren was quite interesting. And the re-built of the...

    Of all the abominations...

    I don't think it looks hideous (although I can't deny it has looks that only a mother could love), I just think it looks utterly pointless. If you want to bolt American-styled optics onto an AK, there are far simpler and more practical ways to do it. It also reminds me of the faux-Armalites...

    G&G C7a1

    It's a little disappointing to read (if true), as it seems this is the first time G&G have dropped the ball on a project so badly. (For a long time, considering how good their recent, 2010+ stuff has been). Not that it matters, I'm still hoping for a C8...

    Ed, Let's play a game

    Posts in topic 3 times. Well, bye-bye Ed! :P :lol: Wait until you see what my L85 actually looks like now. Based it on a real L85 I was allowed to play with during my dissertation research, and I guarantee that you'll hate it :lol:

    Ed, Let's play a game

    Sadly the fat mags weren't available at the time I did this. It was made in about half an hour, using all the spare bits of gear Dave and I could find. Do I get double points for having it mounted on the semi-fictional L85 carbine variant? Man, I can keep doing this all day :lol:

    Ed, Let's play a game

    Very curious to see how the P90 mags work with the M60. And how it looks in the end. How much space is on an L85's front rails? THIS MUCH (Not shown - flash light and grip-pod on left hand side) Year old photo, about a week after I fitted the RIS to the L85. It was my first ever rail...

    TM new release teasers are here!

    A pessimist is seldom disappointed. But that doesn't stop me from being monumentally pissed off a TM's... "unique" ability to really let people down. Derp, let's release a load of crap (albeit high quality & well made crap), which has either been available for several months from other...

    What ruins an airsoft day for you? (apart from cheaters)

    Crap marshals, wasps, site regulars versus the noobs, wasps, gear breaking, wasps, poorly designed games/rules, wasps, d*ckhead airsofters, wasps. I've been on both ends of the site regulars/new guys teams. They are rarely fun, for anyone - especially if it's the new guys' first ever game...

    TM new release teasers are here!

    This being TM... The TAR will be a springer. The HK45 will be a springer. Or some absolutely hideous Resident Evil inspired pistol, which hasn't actually appeared in game. (Or both) The M4 will be a slightly modded version of an already available TM M4 AEG. The 416/7 will have that pointless...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    It's a shame my FBI overt/covert-styled vest only has 5 mag pouches... The rest all get stuffed in my suit jacket & trouser pockets :lol:

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Many moons ago, there was a member on this forum and a few others, who was convinced that the standard lenses in his mask (a pre-S10 variant) were bullet proof. He got into a bit of a slanging match with various members here (and on the other places) about the topic. He based his entire...
