    Hoplophobes Sink To New Lows

    I find myself completely conflicted about ownership of firearms. While i am very sympathetic to Dave's stance, if for no other reason than that my general outlook is Libertarian, I also think that the issue is wider than simply "guns=security vs guns=menace" and my conclusions leave me feeling...

    Airsoft Gas Masks

    You may get away with it 9 times out of 10, but the plastic is definitely brittle, and the one time you get hosed at close range may be the time it gives up the ghost and not only cracks but then splinters, allowing the rest of the stream of BB's into your eyes.

    Hoplophobes Sink To New Lows

    TL;DR = Legislation Creep is a real phenomenon - if people with an irrational fear of legally held semi-auto firearms, which are not the firearms used in the majority of simply criminal offences, nor in any terrorist acts, get them banned; there's a very real possibility that the bandwagon will...

    Quick Questions & Simple Answers.

    Sorry, bought mine 2nd hand and wasn't told other than "clone probably made in China". It works fine within the limitations of its 20mm objective lens, which is something they all suffer from, but I suspect it's one of the cheapest though, so if I were you I wouldn't be worried by the hordes of...

    Makes me feel better by comparison anyway, Shortenhauzen. I'll be 48 in early January :lol:

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Got an SSO smersh VOG grenade x5 pouch off someone on FB for £7.10 posted - he only wanted £6 but i gave him the rest for Signed For delivery = woo-dafuq-hoo! Arrived this am and it's great - my Oshiboom fits into it perfectly. All i need now is a noobtube and a bunch of TAG's and i'm well set...

    What's everyone asking Santa for ....

    I never said i wanted to shag Santa, although i dunno... i mean, i don't go in for genuinely evil sex, as opposed to a little evil roleplay for eg, but i hate xmas so much that maybe i could enjoy hurting the kiddie-fiddling jovial fat bastard... :ph34r: joke In as much as it was an off the...

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    Oh I expected they would be for people wounded/injured on the job, but not so much for an accident in civvies. I think there are a lot of employers who would worry about their on site insurance if they employed someone whose eyesight may be compromised and that person's job involved anyone...

    The "Share A Bargain" Thread

    So i got an email saying that there is a Matrix MG42 for sale on gunstar.co.uk - the geezer wants £400 ONO so I thought I'd just check how that compares to the price new and discovered... ta da!

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    He is lucky to have not had a much more serious injury however, given how close the hit was to his iris; one which could have compromised his eyesight to some degree permanently, and given what he does for a living, i'm pretty sure that would have spelled an enforced major shift in career...

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    Lol, you missed out preventing forest fires! Now that i think about it, i remember that i refined the idea a bit further: rather than using stiff wire like a hamster cage to make a frame, hinges, and a spring latch for the door, i decided that copper wire would do for the hinge and velcro would...

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    Well yeah, but you did post it, so you still get the blame! I just made it easier for people to see just how bad your taste in YT truly is! :P Yeah, gotcha. It's kinda the same for me, but not as wide as you're describing. My plan is to try to hammer at least 1 of them over a spherical steel...

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    Yeah, not a bad idea except for the not being able to get at your mouth without shifting what is protecting your eyes in the game zone. I know i can get a sweet in me gob without exposing my eyes and the same goes for the tube of a hydro bladder, but on both days i wore my fencing mask stylee...

    Hope you don't mind that I embedded your linked media - i would have left it if it was a functioning link, but for ease of forumming, you know... (to do it yourself you need the full url and select the [media tabs from the Special BBCode menu {3rd button from top left of editor}) and yeah...

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say "may be worth looking at them if any good?" When you were first talking about fitting a mask to a fast helmet, iirc, we had a short discussion about stuff attached to helmets being potentially wobbly on the face... Have you skirmished them yet and, if so...

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    This hit was the closest i've had to one in the eye: exactly the same as yours - between eyepro and 1/2 face mask: ...even though it bled like a bastard, it didn't really sink in just how dangerous this was at the time. I mean, I learned 2.5 lessons straight away: 1) those 1/2 face masks need...

    Another Person Hit In The Eye By A Ricochet

    This is the aftermath of a ricochet off a wall passing between the edge of a lens of a pair of ESS Crossbow shooting glasses and his cheekbone. It happened this last Sunday at Zed Adventures: The Mall, Reading. Thankfully it seems that there has been no damage which will turn out to be...
