    Recommend me Some PC Games!

    Yeah far cry 2 is a minor classic.  So is far cry 3 as it gives some problems with 2.  Neither are perfect but still really quite excellent If you're in the market for older games, battlefield 4 gave me many hundreds of hours of multiplayer fun, it's still going strong. In fact all the recent...

    TM MP7 vs VFC MP7 gen2

    Plenty of mp7 discussions on here, including a thread I started Here's a very useful video comparison between the TM and VFC versions I very very nearly bought a new VFC (with an HPA drum mag) recently, but finances dictated I wait until next year. Good luck!

    Gun picture thread

    Hah! Is that Linda?  I must have made a mistake, mine can't have been her, it only cost £3 for a start!

    Gun picture thread

    Blimey that's a bit spooky, I picked up that Top of the Pops album from a charity shop yesterday, and just gave it to my mate. Got the Madness greatest hits album.  And The Smiths.   (Surprisingly not got Dark Side) Gary Brooker from Procul Harem shares my surname.

    2023's Airsoft Spend

    A line that I heard, and repeated in my successful job interview was that "programmers won't be replaced by AI, but will be replaced by programmers who use AI". My employers are fine with using whatever tools gets the job done accurately and quickly. So I'm going to sign up for Co-Pilot, that...

    2023's Airsoft Spend

    What is your line of work?  My problem is my skills are primarily in a particular, dying, IT technology.  All the companies that have used it in the past are very actively trying to dump it (or have already) So I've taken a very big pay cut to take a role where I can lean more current tech.  It...

    2023's Airsoft Spend

    I had to look back at all my previous posts this year, to work out when I bought stuff, and to remind me of the smaller bits and pieces.   Given I've been out of work for 7 months of this year (got a job now, just started a couple of weeks ago, thankfully!), I'm pretty much stunned to find out...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I bought one of these super-cheap scope mounts from Ant-Supplies (£9!), and it's doing a pretty good job with my old air rifle scope   :) It could do with cantilevering a bit further forward, just an extra 3/4" would help with the eye relief from my natural position , but it's 'good...

    High FPS variation

    Yeah, 348fps is great on 0.20's, but once you're running a proper weight of BB (i.e 0.25 or 0.28g), there's a fair chance good ol' Joule Creep will get ya, and you'll fall appreciably, noticeably foul of a site limit.

    Buying our first Pew Pew’s!

    Yay! congrats!   If you got the Raider at a decent price, then it is indeed a fine gun - all the sites using them as rentals can't be wrong.    And the Specna looks a great choice - very handsome beasty! Enjoy! And ... do get overexcited and spend a fortune, and then post lots of pics and...

    Do I need an optic protector?

    Those protectors are very sacrificial, I've seen them cracked and therefore useless. Better off with the Red Dot Engineering ones off eBay

    GBBR thoughts...

    The VFC G3 is awesome, but perhaps it should be discounted for just being absolutely mahoosive and therefore might not always get the nod for a game  I'd maybe not choose an XM177 because mounting optics might be a bit top-heavy on a fixed handle, but dang it they look cool. So ... the Scar...

    Help! Which MP5?!

    I believe the ICS ones are well thought of too.  I'm very much in the market for one as well, though I really shouldn't (especially having just bought a G3), so I'll be watching this thread with interest ?

    Which one should I buy - You Decide!

    If you want all metal, here's a cheap alternative hi capa that I've not heard anything about ...  https://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/products/ec-5-1-hi-capa-gas-blowback-airsoft-pistol-black/ Absolutely no idea if they're any good, we need someone to be a guinea pig ?

    Buying our first Pew Pew’s!

    We rarely need things, just want them (just in case, y'know).    The parallels between me and airsoft, and my wife and shoe shops are a bit too close for comfort  ?
