    Local Police and home use

    As above - I'd say just don't. Even if you tell your neighbours that you own Airsoft toys and use them out back, one day their visiting granny, or a joiner doing the skirting, or a new neighbour who hasn't been briefed is going to see you walking about with a gun... What happens next is on you.

    First game - would it ruffle your feathers?

    Even if you are unlucky enough to find the one site Louis Spence, they'll be a ratio of like 40+:1 people who don't really care what you're wearing. As above, just play fair and be nice - your deeds will tell anybody who matters all they need to know about you.

    Feedback...

    I'm still waiting on the Airsoft/porno crossover videos. The sport gives you the framework of the storyboard with minimal effort > 1 - Na, can't use that - it's hot. 2 - They aren't taking their hits. 3 - Anybody seen a Glock mag. 4 - Is that guy on our team. 5 - Fuc£ing battery died...

    I was once told if you're lucky, you get 15 seconds to hook a viewer on YouTube. If you haven't done it by then, you've probably lost them. I'd recommend ditching much of the first 2 mins, and knock the slo-mo-walking away. Walking is pretty dull as is, slowing it down here doesn't add much I'm...

    When Milsims are not serious enough

    Well... 1 - It's they're, not there. 2 - Have you watched the video fully? The event you mention was run by the Polish Defence Ministry as part of a national program of civil defence training. Yes - they use airsoft guns but it's not like a random bunch of skirmishers from Leeds. Even the US...

    Watching the bbs or aiming with a sight ???

    I don't aim using the sights really. I use a full-face Paintball mask and on my old FAMAS, there was no way to get a line of sight down the weapon itself in a meaningful way for sight aim purposes. So my style (such as it is) evolved to get a general idea where I want to fire from the shoulder...

    How do you carry yours ?

    Gun bag + Holdall - does what it needs to. The gun-bag is a fairly discreet rectangle shaped one and plain black. I have a rusty transit van with net curtains and like to soak up some rays nude on sundays, so I don't want neighbours to see a rifle-shaped bag and think they need to worry.

    Backup pistol or extra mag for normal pistol

    Another pistol... It's all about eggs in the basket, and after all, it's Airsoft. Something will stop working eventually.

    Policing and Crime Bill 2015-16 - This is now (mostly) the law as part of the Policing and Crime Act 2017

    Looking through stuff - Lords especially (being un-elected as they are) - shouldn't be allowed to just issue requirements on bills with no notes or explanation. Some explanation should be a requirement, so when it is debated, we can see the thinking behind it. I've said it before, I'll say it...

    When Milsims are not serious enough

    Bored at work, so a few points in retort. "preppers are weird, paranoid people who ruin the lives of their families" - Why? It took FEMA 5 days to reach the superdome. The bloke with a 72 hour pack might not seem that big a prick when he's on the floor bleeding out after he's been lynched for...

    Best spray paint for two-toning?

    I've used Halfords own stuff. Does as well as can be expected, is cheap enough and is more accessible than mumping about with P&P etc, and it comes in the Yellow and Purple you're after.

    is airsoft a dying sport ?

    As others have said, Airsoft is not dying as far as I can see, but it's getting harder to avoid the ass-hat players, be they newbies who don't know better or veteran players who are just gobby idiots. I have said before though that - IMHO - embracing the sportification of Airsoft perhaps into...

    Should the UK leave the EU?

    It's an easier decision for some politicians. Most tories come from constituencies that voted leave anyways. Labour and the Lib Dems (I think they still exist) are the ones with a problem. Excluding London, most of their MPs will be facing constituencies with 60%+ leave support...

    Should the UK leave the EU?

    "What lies?" According to the Prof in the video, numerous lies were peddled. Please refer to the video if you wish to hear them. I didn't want to take the bait, but can't resist... Some things about your post: "lol also so you guys who voted leave didn't want to change immigration? because...

    Should the UK leave the EU?

    It does bother me how the 'Leave Campaign' is badged as this Hydra like creature that acted and moved as one. It really wasn't. The leave campaign and voters were a broad coalition with many many messages and, as an example, the guy in Stone highstreet who spoke to me about why we should leave...

    STANTA Gate in a nutshell?

    Don't want to hijack the thread, but Stanta is Defence Training Estate owned by the MOD isn't it? I know Landmarc own some of the sites they peddle, but not all? I welcome more info on it though. I've probed the murky world of the DTE for my work before and would welcome more info.

    How will airsoft be affected by the EU referendum

    As this is an EU Referendum/Airsoft crossover, can I apply some airsoft logic to help me decide how to vote... It's only plastic balls, charge! But, it's raining and my gear'll get wet, so I'm going home. See you next month.
