Cause a 500 FPS shot to the face at 10m tickles.

Jesus Christ, are you going to crayon over the entire forum? Do you see me or anyone else posting pictures of their weekly shop? No. Because it's not relevant, neither is a neon genesis action figure.

In this world of pc and stuff the sniper was ill-equiped,is the sniper obliged to carry a secondary or does it depend on the site? The bang rule is poor imho,youtube the yanks playing with it..."I banged you",it is on par with blind firing the way they use it.. Anyway if the sniper had any savvy he could've thrown and handful of bb's at the op's back...all this "if you shot me I'd ~~~###@'#" that's worse than what the op did..because was perfectly within the rules to do what he did,but people would advoctae shooting below MED with a 500 fps sniper..

Personally... If I had a reasonable shot, but didn't take it to preserve your safety... And you then turned around and shot me as a thank you... I'd 500fps you in the crotch. Twice. Bang rule or not... The dude got the drop on you. ... Take your hit...

We need to start getting commission on combat machine m4s

Yes but the difference is that one person can't shoot due to safety reasons. It's not as simple as I can but you can't. He was sporting though you're right, for that I commend the guy, he just can't complain that he wasn't prepared for the situation. We play a shooting game where you should expect to get hit. It'd be a bit of a tragic game if we simply dropped our guns and just shouted at each other.

I laughed.

Dafuq.... Monty.... iz a moderator...... I still think... you're a cat...

Don't buy dude. Get G&G CM for a first a good choice. my first was a G&G CM16 couldn't fault it in the slightest and I've had a lot of weapons but have to say one of my best. My best weapon I've ever had is my current G&G has been flawless from day dot and many people have commented on how flawless it's performance is and it's sound as well

You don't want to be buying any cheap gun from a 'bb guns' website. If they do sell more expensive guns, they are usually over priced anyway compared to other retailers. You're better off saving up for another gun which is much better quality and buying from a proper airsoft website such as Pro Airsoft Supplies, Zero One, Airsoft World, Patrol Base, Fire Support or Land Warrior Airsoft. Welcome to the forums

The dude was behind him, weapon aimed, with enough time to make a decision and call out... Whether he got there on purpose or by accident makes no difference. He did the reasonable thing and then got shot for it... I don't think that's on at all... I think its a pretty off call... The med is there as a safety feature, not an excuse to dodge hits... The op was in another guys sights. You're either hit via a bb or a statement... But you're definitely hit...

No it is not any good for starting out. dont get WELL, dont get from bbguns4less. G&G CM as mentioned above is a good option for someone who is starting at a budget. better save up and get something that wont fall to pieces.

I think you're being a bit harsh on the guy, he did try and do the right thing and took the hit from the OP without question immediately. Yes he should have had a secondary but equally he could have shot and claimed his sniper was only 350fps and to a plate carrier/rig your not going to notice enough to complain. If anything his mistake was having faith in the fact good sportsman ship would be reciprocated, which is a stretch granted in a combat game So was OP right? 'legally' yes 'morally' no However, the former is the one that actually matters in reality

I equally don't like the bang rule leads to arguments and is often used in stupid situations You were under no obligation to take the hit and so under the rules you were well within your right to do what you did, but it wasn't the sporting option and this sport is entirely based on good sportsmanship

Whilst that statement is true, airsoft and real world is quite different (mainly based on safety). Minding safety doesn't make you nice or a good player... It's the RULES! The OP played by the rules and came out on top. His opponent could have chosen an easy fix but for whatever reason couldn't be bothered to pack a £6 rubber knife! I would have taken the hit if he tapped me with a banana. At least it's a pointy object lol. 'Take your hit' is just plain lazy

I don't think anyone can criticise the sniper really as he was good about taking the hit afterwards, many people would not have been Yes it was in the rules of the game that you could turn around and shoot him but I wouldn't say it was a sporting move. Places I say that if someone has the drop on you and asks you to surrender its not mandatory (you can turn and shoot) but A. prepare to get laced (assuming its not a sniper) and B. don't be a dick, he's worked for the kill and you only know he's there because he was kind enough not to shoot you and all you have to do is go and respawn

Let us get one thing clear The reason why the sniper can have 450-500fps sniper is because: Single shot AND min engage distance otherwise lets just go nuts with 450+ fully auto at point blank range - screw the chrono and call an ambulance now There are rules - some are common sense some don't make much sense and times when people don't always play by them BUT there are rules and guidelines which are stated at the start - don't like them don't play Sniper must be thinking I should of had secondary or crap I was I brought my AEG instead of this But think it was fair play and nothing really bad - just $hit happens & move on I mean in real life If I got shot in my little toe with a £10 springer pistol - don't think I would be fatally wounded but a hit is a hit so to speak so we play and abide by rules - silly or not

The wording of the VCRA is that a gun is an imitation firearm ('two tone') if it's "principal colour is unrealistic." The idea of 51% is therefore derived from the assumption that anything more than half will count as 'principal.' All that said, if you are 'an airsofter' (i.e. you play airsoft at a proper site and could demonstrate this) then you're well within your legal rights to do whatever you want to your gun in whatever colour you want to do it. Get your kicks.

Guy needs to buy a £6 rubber knife or a £15 springer pistol lol You did nothing wrong in my opinion. Snipers appreciate the minimum engagement rule especially as it's based on safety reasons. If they shoot too close that's cause for getting kicked off site! It's just plain dangerous especially when you consider the vast majority (almost all) standard eye pro isn't rated to 500fps at close range! Bearing that in mind, if he shot me with a pistol which malfunctioned I'd politely ask him to show me the mag. If it has BBs and gas if put the lack of shot down to malfunction outside his control and assume he wouldn't miss a target my size from 5m. I've done this before as i feel it's in the spirit of the game. but not carrying a knife or pistol as a sniper is your choice. Your fair game As for bang rule it's so so sooooooo weak! It's actually counterproductive to the sport. It's anti-combat! I can understand it for under 18s games but for the rest of us it's like 'touch rugby' which makes my blood boil. The way I see it is that if a guy is smart enough and stealthy enough to get behind me then he has every right to shoot me cold in the back assassination style. As long as he's not too spiteful and shoots me in the back of the head/neck it's all good. Between the shoulder blades is polite or the bum cheeks are good for extra humiliation lol. I deliberately keep my knife on my left leg because of the bang rule! Why I hear you ask? Well if you shout bang at my back my right hand raises my rifle as if in a passive fashion. Now at this point I don't shout hit but because I appear slumped and my gun raises you assume I'm pussying out! As your eyes fixate in the rifle my left hand stabs behind me and you are now in fact DEAD! Sneaky yes but deffo a lesson learned! If you get a chance to kill me... Please do!

There is nothing wrong with the way you did things. I however would have taken the hit as a sniper rifle would have killed you IRL.

How dare people express their opinions on the internet!

That flash mag i ordered from HK on the 3rd arrived today. £11 and 4 days wait - that's amazing! Grapes, clementines, peanuts, cashews, hob-nobs, green & blacks hot choc and cadbury's instant hot choc (a mix of the 2 makes a really nice combination), cranberry & raspberry juice, green olives, stilton and gv tobacco... think that was it today

Could also try Ucap's the sandpit, out by bluewater, £50 for days rental, and way shorter briefings http://ucap.co.uk/ucap-airsoft-venues/ucap-sandpit-venue/

Dont paint it, Just get it dirty

Fifty five quid for three hours, jeeze. Most skirmish sites charge about £25 for the day on the periphery of London, Our September milsim just off J20 M25 provides 16 hours of action for £60.

The way you called chinos fashionable...

Big boots aren't for running? This is news to me. I've owned and used British Assault boots as part of a uniform requirement for the past 3 years- I've used mine on field exercises, ranges and assault courses, and I've needed to run a hell of a lot more during those than I've had to run in a skirmish. Sorry to sound hard on you, but there is no suitable alternative to combat boots when it comes to mobility and ankle protection. You may be able to run faster in Nikes, but they don't have that deep tread boots do which help them to dig into mud.

Rabbits don't need guns:

Hello, I live in London, and is planning on a skirmish around here. Bunker 51 seems to be the only one nearest to central London. Though it will be a total of 55 quid and only three hours of action. Another possible site is The Mall in reading, which is similar in price, and includes a full day of action. Though jay83 mentioned that it was a bit rubbish in another post, because the gameplay was start and stop, and the staff talked constantly. Any thoughts on these sites?

And it will cost you just under £30 to actually buy both, as you'll have to buy an NiMh battery first, which tend to be more expensive?

Well, it is brand new....... I'll be getting down and dirty with my M700 later this month as the damn thing is always better to use while prone- hopefully I can sort out the leaking issue my long mag has before then!

Cheers mate, thanks for the input

End of the day it comes down to people wanting practical gear and stuff that looks more modern. People that like older style stuff are more of a minority.

New bits just arrived for CB/Tan loadout: Mil-Tec tan 'Ranger' combats, tan Mil-Tec baseball cap, tan Mil-Tec shemagh, tan/black Will be dusting cap and combats with brown Krylon later today, the tan's just a little light for me.

yeah I am going to go to the mall at some point will tell you what I think of it when I do some people have done videos on youtube of it though, you can check them out.

This. It's a relatively unknown brand so you'll be taking quite a risk at a price that could net you a more well known and (potentially) higher quality brand. Not saying Evolution are crap, just I wouldn't take the risk at that price.

Im liking the new releases. I'm 100% grabbing the breacher! I've been wanting the m870 for cqb games but I don't like large stock. I've been trying to think up a way to modify it but with the gas tank in the stock there was no way to achieve such. AND THEN they go mention the breacher! Happy f*cking days!!! Deffo top of the birthday list. I've already squared the money for this with a retailer! It's just a case now of WHEN not if When the HK417D comes out I will avoid it like the plague. I don't wanna see pics or vids or bump into it at a skirmish because of I do.... ... I will end up buying one! It's like shown crack to coke heads. This just ain't fair

I'd stay with recognised brands if I where you. There is plenty of good guns out there and buying a gun just to find out it's not what you expected sucks. I THINK I've heard in another thread, here or on that other forum, that they are suppose to be no good, but nothing I can confirm.

You will be faster on rough terrain in a decent pair of boots. In trainers you'll be falling and sliding all over the place.

Lightweight hiking boots, newer generation combat boots (lowa/meindle) plenty of options, it's all about supporting your ankles, don't be foolish and think it won't happen to you, chances are if you turn up I trainers you won't get to actually play

you can open an ICS M4 and change the upper in less than 20 seconds. If thats not quick I dont know what is

A good pair of boots would be much better than trainers, and are especially important if you're playing woodlands. Look for a pair on sale at somewhere like Go Outdoors maybe? There's also a surplus store selling army boots for around £20 or two for £35. Can't remember the site though

Be warned; sites might not let you play in trainers due to them having no ankle support. Tbh it's fine wearing Chinos for your first game, but you'd be much better off buying a pair of tougher trousers if you start airsofting regularly as the Chinos could potentially rip or take a long time to dry out. As for the G&G M4, it's possibly the most cost effective rifle out there. Perfect for beginners. In the transparent form you're much less noticeable compared to other U18s with 2toned weapons. Plus, you can spray over the transparent parts when you're a regular skirmisher, and any paint that comes off will not have bright green/red/orange/blue underneath

Do not try to run around a woodland site in trainers mate, you will damage yourself! One of the most singularly important pieces of kit you should buy over anything else is a good pair of boots, even lightweight hiking style boots are a better bet than trainers, a lot of sites actually state 'suitable footwear/boots must be worn'

I have the Cold Steel Katana. It is fucking rock solid. Smash it into a brick wall and the first thing to break would be the brick. I have a recording of me just smashing up every glass bottle i had from the recycling bin after a party. It's not exactly skirmish safe. Why not throw bbs, who needs a gun? You still need the props. If you're site plays surrender rules that's usually the time to do it.

But if your mum/dad/other responsible adult doesn't have UKARA then they can only buy you an imitation firearm. They can't use your defence of skirmishing (which you can't really get until your 18) so unless they have their own you are not going to be getting a RIF.

A tank? As in well built? Are you kidding? He's a total computer, star wars and lego nerd, 'bout as scrawny as they come lol. I agree about him though, his videos are probably the best I've seen, he's good at editing, gets the audio balance right, cuts things at the right times and doesn't show footage if it's boring. The only thing I hate is that he only started airsofting about 4 months ago, and because he's a YouTube celebrity he's just been given all the best shit ever straight away. He doesn't really have any concept of the value of a lot of the things he has, I don't mean monetary value either, I mean he doesn't realise how badly lots of people want the stuff he has, he has no concept of how, why or to what extent the things he gets handed for free are sought after so he'll just rephrase the stats sheet the shop read out to him. He's done videos on the WE MSK, he's got a Polarstar M4 etc etc. anyone else would kill someone for that stuff, he just gets handed it for free by Airsoft GI because they're using him as a walking talking advert. His video comments are littered with people asking for advice but the guy doesn't have a clue. It's like watching a baby jump in the deep end of a swimming pool, but then enjoy drowning. It's annoying to watch, there's a sense of contempt about him that just grates on me.

his videos are boring as shit. ohh lets film this guy shooting, then this guy and edit it to make it look like they are shooting at each other. his vids are over watched crap.
