    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    Given the going rate of these this looks to be way overpriced, the optic being on backwards certainly seals the deal. Advice to the seller? Price it up, sells the replica with the mags and the case. Sell the rest in individual listings.

    NAF23 bookings are now open...

    Poor guy can't catch a break, every post they makes he gets railed on ?

    Airsoft, finances and mental health.

    I absolutely agree, and the post wasn't intended to point out any posts that were or I'd have quoted the ones that I felt had. Purely highlighting there are two sides to it, and you shouldn't feel bad every time you buy something... as long as you're responsible in doing it.

    Airsoft, finances and mental health.

    I will say I also don't think we should be demonising spending money on things we want, as long as it's within your means. Finances are such an individual thing, and for the most part an entirely case by case basis. Just be responsible.

    Buyers Beware - Suspicious Seller - Resolved, thread can be deleted if possible

    Hi folks, Bit of a weird one, but I'd regret not saying anything if the situation worsens. Not sure on the right section really, here seems about as good as anywhere. I bought an item (splitting it from a grouped sales post) from a forum member. Payment was sent on February 24th, this item was...

    THE TM MWS thread

    You'd want the 9.3" with a 10.5" outer barrel, if you want to go the 10.5" rail route you'd ideally want an 11.5" outer or a 1" barrel extension.

    Marui man MP5SD NGRS

    All priced up gets you into the £900 region, given how desirable not only the RIF but the mags are I'd throw the regular '60-70%' thing out of the window and be looking in the £750 region including fees and postage.

    Gun picture thread

    I wasn't sure at first and now really struggle to play without using one, which in some pattern of psychological bias now means I love how they look.. brains are fun. In terms of looks, my personal opinion is the fact its the 'FDE' one makes it look more off than if it was a black one. You've...

    Beginner sling sorrows...

    Option to make do with what you have? Use some paracord through the ring on your sling to add the desire amount of length to get it comfortable. Option if you want something a bit nicer (Emerson is very much 'entry level Chinese clone gear', servicable for sure but not what I'd call decent per...

    When was the 'Golden Age' of airsoft?

    Was never really one for collecting patches, but it’s still mad to think where this ended up…

    Lack of Green

    Best guess is they're consistently the worst selling versus black and fde options. When needing to hit minimum order quantities to make the production of an item viable in terms of profit margins it makes sense that they'd omit the ones that struggle to sell through. TLDR - It's probably boring...

    Lambda/DCA GPMG

    Entirely reasonable, I guess I forget that many of these retailers have a 'brick and mortar' store which are great for folks to get some hands on before picking things up and just having a mooch... which will almost always result in some sort of purchase.

    Lambda/DCA GPMG

    Nothing worse than when DCA is the only option with something in stock in the UK. Not only are you going to pay more for the item than anywhere else, but you're also going to spend a fortune on postage irrelevant of how small (both in size and cost) the item is. Clearly doing something right...

    Silverback MDR-X tl;dw version - let some other mug buy these bin-fire versions until they fix it

    I truly wish this came as a surprise, but it doesn't... at all.

    Your best/worst RiF?

    Favourite: PTW, couldn't tell you why specifically... I just love it. Performs well, light while having superb build quality, a 'bolt stop' without having to deal with any shitty electronic recoil system and decent mag capacity. For what I want in a RIF it just ticks all the boxes and I don't...

    THE TM MWS thread

    Ultimately depends whether you want picatinny, m-lok or keymod. Keymod is something I've never used (and likely never will), I like some picatinny handguards but usually default to m-lok for the weight saving and the fact the majority of the weapon lights/weapon light mounts and grips are m-lok...

    Nuprol green gas 2.0 vs 3.0

    Feels like a big case of LMGTFY but there you go. Literally just googled 'Nuprol Gas PSI' and was greeted by this article as the first result which states 2.0 is around 135 PSI at 72 degrees Fahrenheit (about 22 degrees celcius) and 3.0 is around 160. While the chart lands on around the 110 PSI...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I maintain that I hate the knee pad design granted that's not unique to the Platatac ones, I just loathe the Crye knee pad design/system and genuinely can't fathom how its last so long without revision. Aaaaaanyway, that aside the Plat ones are definitely my favourite run of Crye-alikes, glad...

    When was the 'Golden Age' of airsoft?

    I’m by no means old, I’m 33 next month, but I’ve got plenty of playing/hobby experience.   I don’t tend to pass comment on things I haven’t engaged with. I have zero want or need to watch other folks play airsoft, are people influenced by what they see? Sure, but broad speculation will tend to...

    When was the 'Golden Age' of airsoft?

    This is all so tragically jaded ?. I've been playing for give or take about 20 years, and for the most part it's all about the same for me. The access to decent reliable GBBRs is a big win, as is my personal access to more disposable income and being able to transport myself pretty much where...
