Collector vs Practical Skirmisher

[Dentonboy]

You're a family man so its difficult, however, this is why I only play private days (throw in the odd charity event cus im not a monster) now and instead go to 'filmsims' or 'milsims' as its much much better than a skirmish. Yes you do get dickheads but you get dickheads everywhere. 

Anyway, you would be accepted with open arms with your kit

Thanks Chief...sign me up.

Thanks to you both for your input means alot.

so is there no other way of renewing my ukara. by other means other then playing 3 games at another site. Really wanted this johnwick pistol before xmax.

Not that I can think of. For better or worse, rules is rules, and these rules aren't flexible.

I reckon putting the cash equivalent of the gun in an envelope under the tree is your best bet until your UKARA's renewed. To be honest a clone Glock isn't going to run that well in Christmas weather anyway.

As much as I rarely play now (once every 2.5 months due to work schedule and family life) and contemplated giving up the hobby entirely after 11 years, earlier this year, I always find myself browsing guns and getting that "want" feeling........Then I remember I'm skint, can't afford anything and will very likely just think everything else is sub-par compared to my upgraded Scorpion Evo A1, so any new guns would not get much use anyway.

That, plus I despise hoarding/collecting. I hate clutter and untidiness. If something isn't being used, it's gone.......regardless of what it may be. My CD, DVD and computer games collections went some time ago. Unworn clothes are gone. Music T-shirts from gigs have been sold recently. We're forever selling and binning items in the house, to keep it uncluttered. Very few mementos are kept.

I only have my Evo, a TM G17 and a TM G34. That's it. I only ever play CQB now (outside is too cold, wet, muddy, simply not as much fun as CQB).

I promised myself I'd never sell my TM Breacher, TM AKS74U RS, KSC Vz61 GBB, PPSH-41, TM Desert Eagle and TM MK23 Socom......but they all went in time, after some fond memories.

However, I am a lover of pistols and always fancied building a little collection....then think what a waste of money..........and unnecessary clutter.

Lately I find myself hungering for 80's action movie guns, like a Beretta M92, MP5, M16VN, Uzi etc, with ideas of new movie inspired loadouts to go with them..........but then the reality check that money is in short very supply and movie loadouts are impractical for the sole CQB site I play at, where sufficient protection is necessary to avoid injury and I always put practicality before aesthetics. 

So in the end, I'll just stick to my existing single loadout of whatever works best, my Evo and my G34. It is fun to fantasize though.........
