The 'What have you just broken' Thread

[lafta]

B&T Tracer finally had enough of me catching it on walls.

Now I have an even longer FMA one to beat up...

Is it just the trigger I.e bit you put your finger on or is their internal damage as well

Just the trigger it broke in the centre.

Missed opportunity for a thread called "I'm Trigger Unhappy". Now to see how good the warranty and customer support is when you go through the process of getting a replacement part.

Phew.....

Thought I was gonna see a pic of your gammy smashed up foot

Like this one?I have heard of flat footed but fat footed is a new one.

Wondering if its time for a game of this little piggy goes to hospital

Wait, that's not a baby's foot?

Nope thats how swollen my foot is and its slowly bruising up. Cant even get any of my shoes on.
By the way what do the babies come out like in your family because I have never seen one with hairy legs before.

Hah, I didn't attempt to enlarge it, have you been to the doctors, or that other place?

dunno who is the bigger dick...

the trainee apprentice techy or the old fart (not moi btw)

I know AK's selector linkage can be a little hit n miss but he obviously got the gear linkage out of whack

yes sometimes you gotta go semi - full - semi or vice versa as wear takes place over time but you got bits missing off hop etc...

even if bell-end lost screw or the tiny arm, would of thought they either got some boneyard guns to nick bits from

or heck come up with a story it needed replacing or some $hit

To send out something more w@nked than when it came in - don't say much for quality control/customer service or their own craftsmanship

As the overkilling grandpa - ffs I know reaction times or reflexes slow with age but this guy must be nearly 2 feet in the grave or something

(or the way he is going he f*cking soon will be)

nice to see the site dealt with this promptly - could of lit him up also but as long as he departed is the main thing

soz you had a bad day - hope you can get gun sorted, speak to shop

if no joy, then f*ck it name n shame them

we should have a thread for muppet techs to avoid - allowing a bit of give n take or time to remedy any problems before entering on the muppet list

My AK is neigh on f*cked. Picked it back up from my local store after taking it in to get a spring change, missing the gear cover from the gearbox, so gears can be seen through the trigger guard area.Cleaning rod from underside of barrel( just cosmetic), has been snapped off. Gun is firing fully auto on semi, hop up slider and screw are missing. Pissed is an understatement

Also my nose. An older gentlemen was warned in first 15 minutes about overkill and safe shooting (put 5 shots into my glasses/face mask from less than a meter away, and did this to three other people). Next game/round desires to do the same again, but full on pistol whip me in the face. Safe to say he was removed from the site pronto

Name and shame the shop.As for being pistol whipped in the face I take it the site had him arrested?

If he physically assaulted a player and caused an actual injury such as the broken nose you mentioned then they should of called the police.

I take it this was Hockley arena?

I am just about to contact them regarding a private booking so will get their take on the event as if they acted improperly then I would refuse to use their site.

Not arrested just removed from site and black listed. Asked me what I wanted to do about it and I said there was no point in pressing for anything. Just patch my nose, and get on with it. More hassle for them and chance the game gets called off as they really are a small team of guys. I just wanted to go out and have a pee pew. It's not like it hasn't happened (well fighting) in other sports and I just wanted to enjoy the rest of the day with the locals and people I haven't played with there before. It was all really heated, but IMO situation by them was handled really well.

I have been in touch with Hockley Arena today about a private booking for a stag do. I mentioned this event as it gave me some concerns about how it was handled.
You said you were pistol whipped in the face and received an injury but there was no police involvement. I am sure that any site if a player was assaulted with a weapon would involve the police whether the victim wanted it or not, they would do this to cover their own backs.

The person who emailed me back claims that this never occurred on their site. They haven't removed a player in the last six weeks nor have their marshalls treated anyone for the injuries you described.

They also have cctv covering the site and nothing was seen. They pretty much denied your whole post after they read it.

This causes me concern because either a site which seems to be over the top on health and safety (they dont even allow knife kills) is covering up a serious incident which is bad for airsoft and its reputation, or you are not telling the truth which could lead to that site getting a reputation which it doesn't deserve.

I don't wish to call anyone a liar as I was not there so have no first hand knowledge.

I suggest you get in touch with the site and either get them to own up or apologise for sullying their reputation.

Which ever you choose this is not a good thing for airsoft and I have never seen or heard of any player getting pistol whipped in the face before.

If thats aimed at the above posts read everything properly. The forum user was queried if that was the site and I got a positive response.

Re-read, don't see it, but meh, I suck at reading between the lines anyway.

Found my council won't take the battery off my hands, but unsure what to do, it's not hazardous waste though it could catch fire. And I don't have any salt.

 

[proffrink]

I'm sure you can put your mind to it and figure out a way to buy some salt. Would you like a list of retailers?

Is that an exhaustive list, or just those you've bought salt from? I should have said, I don't have enough salt, but it occurs to me the site I was reading was in Gallons, I had no idea what they are in Metric.

There are a few recent threads on here where you can get yourself some Sodium Chloride if you really need it.

Just blow the thing up. Once its finished burning its then harmless, problem solved.
