    Food to bring for Milsim

    I make up my own DIY packs. It means I get all the things I need and they are also the things I like. Realistically how much are you going to be carrying the whole pack (that's where the rat packs come in, they are small ish, light ish and contain most of the calories you will need). There are...

    Market research in relation to education: Drones in Airsoft?

    Ignoring the problem of safety and the requirement to have players in lids under it I can see it adding another layer of realism to the whole process and could be great. ( I don't see how a small drone like many already in use would be a problem) Weaponising it would probably be a bad idea. I...

    Cyma MP5's as good as their AK's?

    Cheers guys, still tinkering with the idea of a cyma MP5 but understand the risks could be high. Hmmmm I like the ICS but not the pricetag. will just have to see how things go with savings. Maybe I tell the wife it was the cyma I bought but actually pick up an ICS.......

    The Moment You Realise you Want to try Milsim

    Gunman are also a fantastic bunch as well, their milsim lite are a good mix of milsim rules and skirmish play. The sandpit also have their battlesim, which is slightly closer to milsim than Gunman's milsim lite. There are so many different styles of play you will find plenty on the spectrum that...

    The Moment You Realise you Want to try Milsim

    Try EAG, elite action games, the guys down at Worthing are a really good bunch, keep an eye out for Jimbo (head marshal), Wolfie and Pants. The three run a very tight site with lots of very friendly regulars. My first steps into milsim were via them. The games were good but didn't require epic...

    Achieving maximum range under 350 fps with a bolt action rifle

    It is doable! I know of a few people that have, it does mean no MED at most sites although I have heard of a few that will enforce the MED on Sub 350fps guns, citing " the rest of the players don't know you are sub 350 so will kick off if you use it within the MED" although they are few and far...

    Cyma MP5's as good as their AK's?

    Well, I have heard almost nothing but good things about the Cyma AK series, seems like other than a few lemons (like any other company) they are pretty universally regarded as having good range and accuracy out of the box. I'm looking for another primary to add to my current ICS L85A2 and ICS...

    A woodland gameplay question

    One of the biggest mistakes made by new players is not having their kit set up very well and/or understanding the limitations of their kit. By that I'm specifically talking about hop units being set properly, and in woodland this will improve your range. I see it with most rental guns, site...

    Uni is weird for mixing. Its always funny seeing some of the groups around campus in the first few weeks. Where else can you get a Goth, Rocker, Punk, Chav, Hipster and Hooray henry all hanging out together. It wont take long til you end up with the people you hang out with most, a club or...

    Only every heard of Bison from the BBGunz style websites. Never heard of anyone skirmishing one. Doesn't mean you couldn't try, but the fact it isn't one of the more common out there might be a clue. If it was me I would save my pennies and see if I could get something better known. For example...

    Mythbusters!!!

    Upshot of my discussions with the technicians, glass tubing comes in a variety of sizes but there are a few different types of glass and getting the right one is important, it seemed one is better with heat, one is better for impact and they didn't know which was which. They are sold with...

    Mythbusters!!!

    You can get some really nice glass rods and glass tubing for making scientific equipment. I'll have a word with our technicians and find out if a slightly larger than 6mm diameter is available. Its fairly easy to work but I would be curious if a bb fired down it might cause it to crack.

    Ohshiboom or trmr x4

    You don't need a coin to reload the ohshi at all........ ( I know in their video they used a one pound coin but that's unnecessary and partly a joke ) Simply insert the blank, screw in the base with the blank, gently press the "wobble head" and reinsert the pin. They have competitions to reload...

    Can anyone identify this M9?

    Sorry should have added it in the first post. It's a metal slide and there are no written markings on the gun or the mag other than the "Made in Taiwan" About the only plastic things seem to be the grips and some of the internal parts.

    Can anyone identify this M9?

    So I picked this up cheap with a leak free mag and a suppressor with an extended barrel (although it appears the surpressor doesn't match the pistol as the inner barrel doesn't touch the inner barrel in the suppressor). After giving the slide a really good clean and oil it fires really nicely...

    To give strangers BBs or not

    I have given out bb's and gas, the last time was a kid who had ditched his AEG for a game and was running his pistol, his mags were out and he was talking about finishing the afternoon with his rubber knife. I would lend a spare mag to someone if they needed it say in the middle of a firefight.

    How do you fit Airsoft around work and home life?

    So like some I technically work Monday to Friday, although as a teacher I generally work from home either Saturday or Sunday to get caught up. When I started my other half worked 28 days on 28 days off and lived at the company house in Gravesend when she was on shift. Weekends on months when she...
