    What sight?

    I’ve got the Vortex Crossfire II LPVO and I can really recommend it. Not the red dot you are after but you can use it as one with the 1 times magnification.

    Rattle-can gun camo - show me your *bold* patterns

    My first try at Camo painting. I’ve tried the sponge technique, worked out quite well. What do you think?  The green isn’t quite as bright as in the picture.

    Thoughts on kyrtac trident SPR MK2

    I bought a Trident SPR after I had to return my Specna Arms because of faults. I love the gun, it is very sturdy but the UK version is a bit underpowered out of the box. It was only shooting at about 0.85J which seems standard for the UK version. I had Negative Airsoft upgrade it a bit and now...

    Do you leave your magazines loaded?

    Same as above with the exception that I would of course do what my wife asks me to do straight away ? I guess leaving a few BBs in would not hurt the springs but it is safer to not have any loaded magazines in the house anyway. Having the mags fully loaded over a longer period would weaken...

    Footwear advice needed

    Yes Gore-Tex (or the other brand names) should say ‘Waterproof OR breathable’ and not ‘Waterproof AND breathable’. Yes they are waterproof and yes they are breathable  but not both at the same time. They only breath when the pores are not blocked on the other side by the larger water molecules.

    If I hear one more Youtuber referring to an 'M' 'K' 23....

    Well DNA has a compression ration of 1:7 (DNA vs deoxyribonucleic acid) so purely out of laziness I would prefer DNA (and I wouldn’t be able to pronounce it correctly anyway). With MK vs Mark we only have a compression ration of 1:2 so not really worth it. And when you actually use phonetic...

    Footwear advice needed

    Socks are very important! Given how deep the mud is in places and streams of water just running through the woods I am considering getting some Seal Skinz socks. They are supposed to make every shoe ‘waterproof’. I’ve got some Sealskinz gloves and they are very good. I believe the Army is...

    How to deal with condensation on optics

    Hi, Played this morning (Driver Woods) and had a few problems with my LPVO (Vortex crossfire). As it was quite cold outside I had condensation on the glass. I think it was just from the outside. It was difficult to make anything out through the optics as everything looked like it was foggy...

    Footwear advice needed

    I remember one tank commander putting his boots on the heater as he managed to step into a 1 meter deep ‘puddle’. When he tried to put the boots back on the sole still stuck to the heater.

    Footwear advice needed

    Standard German Army issue? They must have improved a lot over the years. Back in 88 they were very solid but would give you the most beautiful blisters. Oh the joy when they then got infected as well. Our Sargent told us to urinate into the shoes to make the leather softer. I don’t think...

    Painting my pistol

    Hi  I am planning on spray painting my AAP-01 pistol once it is warn enough (> 12 degrees) and dry enough (so by the looks of it that will be late May ;-(  Is there a danger of paint getting into the gun? Do I need to cover the small gap between upper and lower? What would you tape off? ...

    2023's Airsoft Spend

    I am actually too scared to add it all up. I’ve started this year in May with my son. I knew that my gun alone was £700 (Krytac incl upgrades from Negative Airsoft and a Vortex scope) so my guess was that I spend about £1000 on Airsoft over the year. When I’ve added it up it actually came to...

    Chronographs - any cheap recommendations?

    Yes saw that. The prices really was convincing when it normally retails for £50 on AliExpress. Today the price already went up £10 again. What is the name of the App? I’ve tried to search for Chronograph or WoSport on the Apple App Store but didn’t find anything that looked like that screenshot

    Chronographs - any cheap recommendations?

    That looked too inviting ? Cancelled my other order for the E9800 and ordered this one instead.

    Chronographs - any cheap recommendations?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I have seen the HT-x3006 before but didn’t like that you have to attach it to your gun. We’ve got 4 guns all with different size muzzles or compressors so having to change that every time would be a bit annoying. The E9800 looks good for the price. Might give...

    Chronographs - any cheap recommendations?

    I don’t strictly need a chrono as I don’t build my own guns but that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t want one ? I just don’t want to spend much on it when I would only use occasionally. Do you have any recommendations for affordable chronographs? What is the minimum you have to spend? I guess...
