    Bolt action sniper rifle query

    I have been out of it for a while - I used to rock an upgraded SRS, but I think my playing days are nearly over. So the question is for my youngest son. I would like to get him a bolt action rifle, so that I can teach him the principles of using a rifle correctly. I want the minimum fucking...

    Vortex are awesome. Fact.

    Everyone, I am sure has heard of the Vortex warranty. Well, it's just awesome! I know it's only a little thing, but I lost my elevation turret cap in a game. Haven't thought about it until it's come time to sell the scope. Popped them an email and they're sending a replacement out the same...

    Old skool. Really, really old skool

    Original 1991 Tokyo Mario springer Desert Eagle. Oh the fun me and my bruv had with this!  I also had a Beretta 92f that ran off a compression tank/pump which was rather fun. But that was sold at uni for beer. Things are somewhat different now....

    Silverstone shooting centre Skills House

    Holy moly, this place looks awesome! https://www.silverstoneshootingcentre.co.uk/two-story-skills-house-1/ I don't know if he's planning on running CQB courses, but I know there are some airsoft teams that are using it already for shenanigans (sorry, training). It's not often us poor...

    Vortex scopes - Bad warranty experience

    Has anyone ever had a bad experience with the Vortex warranty? I've got a few of their scopes and have never had to use it - I know a few people who have used it and can't speak highly enough. But it got me wondering - have they ever failed to provide the service that we all buy the scopes for?

    PSA Scam warning

    I don't know if people have come across this, but thought it worth noting, just in case peeps haven't. Potential purchasers are asking for pieces of paper next to the same items with the PURCHASERS name on it. It's obvious to say this, but just in case DO NOT DO THIS If anyone tried it...

    Garden canes and tin cans can be fun!

    Well what can I say, other than I'm bored? Haven't played since I headbutted a rock, but still need to shoot things. As do my boys. We'd been shooting in the garden, using tin cans, at ground level. I had an epiphany - I was teaching my boys to shoot people's feet! Useless. So I immediately...

    Gaming Headset

    I've currently got the Turtle Beach Stealth 600. I hate them. My head feels like it's being boiled in a bag and my ears feel like they're being crushed. My son loves his, but he has a small head. Could anyone recommend a decent headset, that can be used with PS4/5 that won't overheat my brain...

    Silverback MDR (available for pre-order)

    I couldn't find a thread on this, so apologies if my search skills have failed me. It seems the MDR is finally available for pre-order, with orders shipping in the first quarter next year (allegedly January, although I won't hold my breath). Has anyone bit the bullet? I'm trying to find...

    Co-operative play without having to buy the game twice. Is it possible?

    Question for anyone with a ps4/ps5. I want to play CoD, online, with my son so we can go into Warzone / DMZ together. Is that possible, using two consoles and two screens without having to buy the game twice? And if so, how, cos I haven't figured it out yet... Thanks in advance.

    Decision time... One gun to rule them all

    I can have one gun (well, maybe two). Well, on top of all my other guns. But I can't play airsoft with them. In a fit of pique, I sold everything earlier this year, after I had decide to headbutt a rock, split my head open and break a couple of ribs whilst playing. However now, I am feeling...

    Is it time?

    I think the time has come to hang up my hat.  My last game was supposed to be a test, to see if I enjoyed playing any more, as I've been moving more toward real firearms recently. Something of a mixed result came of it! The little I played, I enjoyed. But truth be told, I'm old, fat and...

    Worst injury from airsoft

    Well, I've just had mine! I was playing at YTA Borderlands, near Huddersfield,. It's a really nice site (from what I got to play) and the marshals are excellent (very professional, thank God!). It's a sniper's paradise, but not at the expense of everyone else. I was working with two other...

    Proof that Joule Creep is not a thing.

    Well, not really.  Sorry, I meant Joule creep is a thing. Table attached is a set of five shot strings. First column is using 0.2g and second is 0.48g. Third column isn't relevant to Joule creep, I just wanted to know what difference a single power ring would make. So by changing the weight...

    TG Prices

    Now admittedly, cos of the pandemic and brexit, I haven't bothered looking at TG prices for a long while. But is it just me or have they rocketed up? I was thinking of picking some stuff up when I next go over there, but the prices for rifs look not entirely dissimilar to the UK and have...

    Vague and annoying question about DMR

    I know I've been away from here for a while. Been busy playing with real pewpews. But am thinking of getting back to playing and my SRS just isn't calling to me as it did. I stopped playing because I was getting seriously frustrated by working my balls off for a shot, only to have the fucker...

    Shooting on Private Land

    I might be able to get permission to shoot in a field near my house - so I've got something at a decent distance for testing my sniper rifles. My question is - When I'm shooting, can I be in sight of the public? The BBs won't leave the boundary of the field, so that's not an issue, but I'm...

    Upgrade Advice and Single Shot Problems

    I currently have a nuprol pioneer defender, and I've lost the stock.  What I'm left with is in the pic. I ran it at the last skirmish I was at - even got a few kills.  I taped a lipo to the side and sallied forth. The only problem I had was the bugger would barely shoot on single shot -...

    Mws Vs Tipmann Vs Wolverine Mtw

    I wish I had never sold my MWS. The plan was to use the cash to buy new pews on my FAC when it arrived. But then covid well and truly put the kybish on that progressing. So now I'm hankering after something to mess around with and ultimately, obviously, skirmish with. I've got an SRS for long...

    Bad Publicity?

    There's a rather worrying turn of events in an anti KM FB group. The admin has decided he's going to start a publicity campaign to have a 1J limit imposed on all UK sites. Apparently his campaign starts on Monday. This, imho, isn't good for the sport in any way shape or form. I understand he...
