    Battlefield 6 is just a Milsim airsoft ;)

    I still don't get it myself, a mesh lower face mask seems pretty marginal to me when up against shrapnel. And as to why the Metropolitan Police would be wearing them proper boggles my noggin. But I was never any kind of armed forces so what do I know. But I will say I was VERY glad I was...

    Dog in the gamezone?

    In my experience all the airsofters I've met loved dogs and when I take my labrador into the safe zone everyone wants to stroke him, so I don't think anyone would hurt the dog deliberately. But in my experience many airsofers have little idea of gun safety and anyway in game all bets are off as...

    Wanting to by a really good out-of-the box airsoft gun

    I have heard that. Supposedly much of the assembly is done in Denmark and some of the furniture is via CZ as they and ASG have a relationship.

    Wanting to by a really good out-of-the box airsoft gun

    How mine is set up now, the stock doesn't look as tacticool as the QRS that came on it but the Magpul has room for a looooong day of spray and pray. Rail covers make it much more ergonomic and the sight "riser" thing is because it's difficult to get cheekweld wearing a mask. Pictured with...

    Wanting to by a really good out-of-the box airsoft gun

    Yes that seemed to do the trick, since then it's been good as gold. Even with the 11.1 in. I really think the shop that sold it me should have sorted it, just on general principal.  But then again it only cost a few quid and he did it in like 10 minutes while I waited. It helped I'd...

    Questionable politics and airsofters

    There's a lot of sense spoken here. Yes we should be careful as any small group can be portrayed as guilty of wrongthink in the febrile clickbait climate nowadays.  That said I'm on the verge of old fartdom now, but I was bought up with the general sentiment that you don't wear badges and...

    Wanting to by a really good out-of-the box airsoft gun

    I've found my VFC Avalon Calibur to be a very reliable game day mainstay... But I have to admit it double fed like mad out of the box. Once a tech quickly put a Maple Leaf 60 in it, I now have great range and reliability (and I think it's 11.1 ready even if the manufacturer doesn't. I just keep...

    G&G "FN2000" serial number A00001

    Thanks for the Raresoft tip, there's another timesink rabbit hole for me to go down. ? Yes it really is a marmite airsoft isn't it! Despite not knowing about guns at all the rest of the family refuse to touch it when they go to a game. The magazine is in the wrong place apparently and that's...

    G&G "FN2000" serial number A00001

    So, if the serial number is to be believed, I have the first of their second production run, after they had been sent a scary letter by FN's lawyers presumably. Markings on airsofts have always been an iffy subject, funny it took Real Steel companies so long to cash in as they are now beginning...

    G&G "FN2000" serial number A00001

    OK, so does this serial number mean anything? I bought it non working at an auction at LAC's The Farm, apparently it belonged to an old guy who collected and had had to give up ether due to ill health or he had passed. I've not seen anything in google image searches, all of them either have...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I scored a Pelicase 1660, for, well £140 basically. Bargain! It doesn't hold my M4s - too long - but everything else, my whole AS collection, goes in there. Looks cool AF all nestled in foam cut outs inside a bloody great tacticool crate. (Useful as I'm moving house). Also bought an ASG CZ75...

    I have this bad boy on my new VFC Avalon: ICS DRUM MAG M4 OK, so it's not sound activated but it comes with a remote pressure pad and the capacity is huge (tad heavy too). What's the advantage of sound operated anyway?

    Umarex G36C Price Check

    Exactly the same happened to me! Is yours all plastic with the red cylinder? Apparently they're Jin Gong (sp?), cheap and cheerful, yet mine has been so super reliable so I am half tempted to see if there's a steel outer barrel upgrade.

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I hear you, quality externals with junk inside seems to be an airsoft bugbear. But Combat UK reckoned it was effectively a pre upgraded gun, as compared to cheaper VFC ARs that I was also perusing.  I certainly thought about TM but, from what I've heard, these latest VFC internals seem pretty...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I think this is the same internals, I did indeed want the 416A5: officially licensed by H&K, fully ambi with little guard thingies around the controls*, improved magwell. It seems like H&K on top of their game putting 50 years worth of observation on the AR platform to good effect. Then...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Yesterday I bought me a VFC Avalon Calibur carbine. Basically a blingy HK416A5, but available where the former is not and a bit cheaper as well, has almost fully ambi controls. In a sort of Cerkote-ish mettallic FDE and Olive Drab with black furniture, have to admit it's rather nice, albeit a...

    Another break in

    Circumstantial I know, but a sudden string of these breakins from East Anglia to Scotland.... something going on?

    Airsoft Engenuity

    I just got my PTS Mega MKM (LM4 with gucci externals) back from him and the nozzle is superb and I think the barrel and hop are excellent too, I'll have to drill a hole in my outer in order to make the hop adjust accessible, (something he didn't do). It now shoots really well, very crisp and...

    Quality airsoft pistol

    The EF/Umarex/VFC Glocks do sound interesting and I do want to try one. But I'll be amazed if they're as good as my KWA/Umarex H&K 45: reaches out to 40 yards ish+ on .25s right out of the box and has metal slide so it can take powerful gas without breaking. Unlike TMs. And it costs under...

    Airsoft Engenuity

    What  What range and fps are you getting? Would this be game legal and playable with, say, .25s?
