    National airsoft event

    They don't publish much because there is very little to publish. Most of it is exactly the same as it has always been. I've been twice and it went as follows: Arrive Friday as early as possible ( both times by about 2pm) keep in mind its Friday of the bank holiday and they are based close to...

    BB going to the left out of the barrel

    So every shot is well left of your aiming point. It may be the inner barrel isn't aligned very well in the outer. This can be corrected with some careful, but very simple packing between the inner and outer. However before you get to that: Just out of interest next time you are testing try turn...

    How you started

    My first experience of airsoft was wandering into the middle of a weekend skirmish happening on public land round the corner from my house (in Hong Kong). When I was about 8. Something about 20 or 30 fully grown men in camo armed to the teeth stuck in the mind. Fast forward about 6 years I...

    Cant say on that model but ICS are pretty solid, I have an M4A1 and L85 both are great guns...

    Cant say on that model but ICS are pretty solid, I have an M4A1 and L85 both are great guns, solid out of the box and if it wasn't for my own meddling the L85 would still be perfect.

    University Airsoft Societies??

    What is the difference between a paintball society (many uni's have them) and airsoft? The answer is very little, once the uni folk are aware of the sport. It should be pretty easy to get it through. Most uni's student union just require enough people to be interested to set up the society. The...

    MILSIM - What is it ?

    As with anything you can go cheap and cheerful or high end. Yeah you get the guys who want all the real steel kit and pay £200 for a pair of trousers. But guaranteed they'll be stood next to someone who has spent that much on most of their kit combined including AEG. And their gaming experience...

    Carrying blanks for BFG's.

    I like the idea of a mag don't get me wrong, I just can't see how 9mm blanks would work in a real mag due to the lip they have. They aren't smooth on the bottom as they are designed for revolvers as far as I know. But if someone could show me a video of them being loaded and unloaded from a RS...

    The most Advanced Airsoft Grenade in the World!

    If you bring something very very different to market and you think it through well the market will back you! I have a primer MAS-G pledge, I look forward to testing this out.

    ICS L85A2 owners please help

    Yeah, after a few days of use I ordered an M120 spring. Fitted it which is very simple, and it fired bang on what Ed was predicting on the middle setting. I think they shipped it with a lower power spring than I was expecting.

    I have decided, as soon as it changes from flexible to fixed funding you will find me on your indigogo order sheet!

    The most Advanced Airsoft Grenade in the World!

    If the option of a primer adapter was in the pipeline I would certainly be more likely to get one. Even if this means using the proprietary ones for a bit and buying the add on later.

    The most Advanced Airsoft Grenade in the World!

    Sorry MAS not trying to burst your bubble, it's a fantastic concept that would be great to see get off the ground. And I really would be interested in getting involved but another thing has just popped into my head, sites and insurance. I know some sites have a simple policy of not allowing...

    The most Advanced Airsoft Grenade in the World!

    Most I have used in a day........ 20x 9mm blanks - 15 in one game on one life, it was a giggle. But it was a special set of circumstances that allowed that to happen which I don't foresee happening in many airsoft locations. On an average day's skirmishing in buildings I would be looking at...

    The most Advanced Airsoft Grenade in the World!

    ooooooo all of this is sounding better and better. Although at £1 a bang you might find it hard getting people parting with cash.

    The most Advanced Airsoft Grenade in the World!

    It's looking good IMO. I'm not sure about having such a large window out the top, as BC said a display in the side would achieve the same thing although I can understand if it would increase the manufacture costs. Having the ability to set the time on it is a great idea and being able to switch...

    August weekenders (that aren't GZ please)

    Ok, so after 2 years at the NAE for me and many more for the team we have decided to look about for an alternative. It doesn't have to be on the august bank holiday weekend any time in August would work nicely. Ideally it would be in the south east, I guess a 2 hour drive from London would...

    How do I start an airsoft team?

    I did a days training at the sandpit with a guy who was introduced as "serving SAS". He certainly knew his stuff and he put us through our paces doing room clearance. It was a great experience and has paid off improving my own skills, but it would be far more useful if I had done it with a few...

    How do I start an airsoft team?

    "Hey dude, I'm starting a team called X wanna join?" "yeah sounds alright" Boom TEAM FORMED! Can't really be a team without a two or more members. We are an "anti team, team" formed because there were strict requirements to join the other two on the site already and they talked the talk but...

    dead men tell no tales

    I do use my radio when I'm dead, but before you all shoot me down: We play at the sandpit, often there are lots of us. It's a big place and often we lose contact with each other. You head out as a squad, or a few sometimes, one gets hit and makes their way back to the regen and might find it...
