It's sooo beautifuuuuulllll........

Nuprols have a special coating that stops them feeding to reduce wear on your barrel

Got given a sub-zero looking mask, i gave it a test shot and it punched the thin plastic lens right out. So I didn't get chosen to represent Earth in the next Mortal Kombat

How did the dude get to be squad leader? Doesn't seem like he was promoted based on ability... Unfortunately the idea of skirmishing being a smooth running military op seems an impossible dream, unless you had to prove your athletic/tactical/shooting abilities to play it first. At least it's not a giant stag-do like paintball.

I joinded a squad on a milsim game. We saw two enemy squads and they saw us too. They took cover in bushes and ditches. Then the sqad leader ordered us to do a frontal attack. This was our "cover". I couldn't believe it so I took a photo while staying behind. Another disappointment is skirmishing in the UK. It's just paintballing with airsoft guns.

I guess a lot of people don't realise that BBs are actually polished, and they come with a slight waxy coating. One of the reasons this is done is to avoid the plastic of the BBs being laid down into the inner barrel and slowly destroying the surface. Snipers don't fire many rounds so they can get away with the residue problem and just clean their weapons barrel often enough that it likely never becomes an issue. However an AEG can fire a lot of rounds in a day and end up laying down a sufficient amount of melted plastic such that it doesn't come off. The waxy coating has two impacts, it gets left behind in the barrel and needs regular cleaning and it reduces the effect of the hop rubber on the BB as it slides past. But compared to having melted plastic in your barrel its a better option.

Alternatively, WE thought of a great way to resolve the issue... Fill the mags with gas and join us on the dark side

Calais anyone?

They just have a third hand with twelve fingers on it!

Me, being an idiot as a beginner and buying two kinda shitty guns (the M4 definitely)

I'm sure an admin or mod Will close this thread soon for presenting strong pornography without a disclaimer I am, quite frankly, appalled that this be posted somewhere children could see it and develop new unusual feelings for cars every time their parents visited the petrol station

Ordering an Enfield from Shoot and Scoot 2 month ago... Spent half the morning trying to contact them to say its too late to be any use to me now I want my money back.

Marushin Fn5-7. Felt like a springer, mold lines everywhere, wouldn't cycle on anything other than 134a and could have been beaten by a McDonald's straw.

Gearing up to throw a grenade, thinking that I'll kill thousands. Pull the ringpull/strike the fuse. Assume the position. Mid-throw. Realise I can't throw. Grenade fails and kills no-one.

Personally - I feel that washing your BBs falls under the long list of things that life is just too short for. Like bad coffee or Jeremy Kyle.

He's had much the same response on FB too!

Is that a video called 'Safety First' where people are wearing no eye pro while someone is shooting, in what looks like the safe zone?

As others have said marshaling really makes the difference. Biggest gripes for me are if they are blatantly not paying attention to a firefight right in front(once had two marshals chatting whilst two players very close to them wouldn't take their hits for instance) of them or think they can shout at you for minor infringements. I'd heard people going on about how the marshals at Bluestreak get you to do press ups. Turns out they do it only to people who had mags in their gun in the safe zone or went into the game area without eye pro. It's all done in jest but hopefully the safety aspect sticks with people. I still think more sites need to test shoot people though as standing right next to a load of players just tells any would be cheat to pack it in till they move on. The amount of times a player who possibly wasn't taking hits and lo and behold with a marshal within earshot suddenly does is considerable.

And I still need the help of my tiny weak girlfriend to close the gear box in my g63, no matter how many times I've had it apart ? Do the people who make them in the factory have 2 normal size man hands and another 2 pair the size of a small girl !

I was looking forward to playing airsoft for the first time about a year ago then realising the minimum age is 14. But i can play now.

ah I getcha, but I've never seen other replacement ones of those. If it was me I might be tempted to make another set in whatever colour. Kinda depends on if you are handy with a sewing machine.

Apart from the barrel and hop, I've no idea what anything after the trigger kit is, but that is one sexy looking gun.

I thought it was a good site. It's a woodland site but the vast majority of it is covered in what I think are rhododendron bushes that the marshals have cut paths though with chainsaws as they are impassable. All the bushes make it primarily CQB, although there are some open areas around the edge of the site. The games were typical stuff like capture the flag or move object to given location. There was a game where you had to hold the button on a bomb placed in the middle of an open area to arm it. I found that because the cover was foliage it meant people can hide in it which made for much more tense battles, sometimes you would find it took multiple people getting shot to figure out where someone was. Facilities wise the site is down a savagely potholed road which leads to a small car park. When we went they said they sometimes have 100 people which was surprising given the car park and safe zone were packed with just over 20 of us. Lunch is not provided so you need to bring your own, if it's changed to Sandpit style lunches I would still bring your own Overall I thought it was a good site, only downside was a good half of our team would barely move from our spawn or block lanes. It happens but teams should have really been reshuffled after a game or two. There was also some quite bad hit taking, I raised it with marshals but it didn't change.

With great power, comes great responsibility. Lol

So its a gun thats suited to CQB but fires too hot for even woodland. Great idea Be a long time before I trust an ares, nice review though.

It can if it is poorly engineered and made. You can use 2 thinner plies one at 90 deg and one at 45 deg and when cooked under pressure they fuse and it can double the strength compared to one single thicker ply. It will be more than durable enough, we make car doors which have passed crash tests and are on the roads now lol. I personally would not have a carbon gun unless I wanted it super lightweight and then I would paint it. But there are those who love it and would have one if engineered right. You did make me laugh with the saxo comment lol!

Just FYI, that is STILL a Honey Badger. It's just a replica of the short handguard model.

Carbon fibre accessories always make me think of Saxo dashboards and Max Power. And then it makes me sad. Unless I'm remembering it wrong CF still has the ability to fail at any given moment from a slight knock in the wrong direction so I'm not entirely sure it'll be durable enough for an airsoft gun...

Nope.

Capture the flag game 2 guys pinning us down, 1 guy taken out the other behind hard cover. As I move forward firing short burst to keep his head down, I'm within steps of getting the flag, I take cover to change mags & look to my rear to find everyone just standing about 30 ft away doing f**k all & at that point I get hit, happened twice that day where I start to push forward with no back up grrrrr

^ Pretty sure every airsofter's loft has an unwise purchase sat in it somewhere! I have two B500A1...

Me and a friend once did the same thing as you. A group of about a dozen of us crossing mostly open ground around the perimeter of site, ran into some bad guys. After standing out of range for a second, another friend led a heroic charge into the enemy whilst me and my mate Sat back and waited to watch them all get shot. After most of them were dead, we agreed that if the first mate (who somehow wasn't hit yet) could medic the other 9 friendly players and revive the assault, we would eat our guns. Once he got the first few guys back up we ran into the fray and reinforced him. We ended up medicing every player and pushing through the enemies to the building we were tasked with taking And I still haven't ate my gun

Unfortunately the law couldn't be tailored to say "well mannered middle class under 18's only", so it doesn't matter how sensible the minority are, if the law was changed you'd have all sorts of estate dwelling hood-rats running around with RIF putting the shits up the general public. Although maybe they'd all buy molle-belts too which might keep their trousers above knee height

Making a petition like this a day after a 16yo and two 17yo's were arrested by armed police officers and released on bail pending inquiries when they got a RIF out in public in Hanley, Stoke-on-trent is a massively dumb move.

A little disrespectful on the dead but... Just watch "As above, so below" and had this idea. Paris Catacombs

^^ Well Chernobyl would certainly make the tracer BBs glow. Would not fancy running around in NBC kit (that is CBRN for the youngsters) and S10 respirator.

Went in yesterday (04/08/15) came out with a red dot acog, a bag of 5000 bb's & a full face mask for my sons, the whole lot would've been close to £100 elsewhere I love going in there, you could get easily lost for hours

It is a tempting Aladdin's cave when you realise how big and varied the world of shopping online for airsoft kit is. Which is why I have removed the eBay and Amazon App's from my phone.

Answer on the back of a post card to ....... (Apologies to anyone under 25 who wont know what a post card is or what the hell am on about)

putting your hand up and shouting hit does not mean you won't still get lit up and hosed by all of the opposition. Research what you want and buy cheap kit to start with as you will change your mind.

The whole "dead men don't talk" rule... I agree with it 100% but no-one seems to follow it to the tee! Just because people aren't "moving their mouth" doesn't mean you can continue to bloody use your hands and point, using flash lights, nodding/shaking their head or start doing the god damn YMCA!

Also is same address as OnlyBBGuns 17 Willow Road - Slough iwholesales wanted my inside leg measurement as they don't sell to individuals etc (jeez amount of crap I've bought thought they would want to do business but wtf) spoke to a chap at Only about a RIF as Only do 2-tone - are they ukara retailer ??? and that was a major ball ache and little email response on that enquiry about face to face purchase of RIF So yeah a bit of a weird setup or connection to other companies BUT out of the 3 " BB " sites I do actually still rate Only as the better one still have to be careful about what you buy - there is still some crap on there and from experience forget trying to buy a RIF off them - 2-tone yeah not bad but forget RIF but weird - iwholesales will set you up an account maybe and sell you RIF's OnlyBBGuns sell only 2-tone stuff - no mention of UKARA I think ahhh forget it - I just carry on buying in bulk then

Wow, that's surprising. A couple of years back they had one of the worst reputations in the industry. Glad they did the right thing for you.
