I learnt yesterday that people with LMG's will not follow the sites 1 second burst rule in anyway shape of form.

Finally arrived well happy

Pull the pin then sit on it. Report back with findings.

To be honest I don't get rules like that. Either allow LMGs or don't. The whole point of a support gun is continuous suppressive fire. If you're not allowed to do that then why even bother?

Always happens, never figured out why some people would want to pay £35 to stand in a corridor to tell the people with some nuts that the enemy is down the other end of the corridor.Dont believe in dying for the greater good but I am a firm believer in making the enemy die for the greater good.

Buy a Krytac,spare mag, 2x lipos and a imax b6 charger. Then use it to shoot that jbbguns useless crap to pieces.

Well iv been playing now for around 3 months. And during that time myself and my bro have frequented ucap bunker. (For those who have not played it, 350fps limit and full ato everywhere, with all dark tunnels) Today we traved to the mall, an hour and a bit away. Every one raves about it so we decided to check it out....... Oh my, its bloody amazing!!! Very well marshelled, great games, exellent team spirit from the players on our team. 112 players today all in all and didnt feel crowded atal. The site is very very playable. I now see what all the fuss is about. We will defo be back on the regular! For any noobs who havnt been, it really is worth a trip.

Lol, sounds like I would need to run this patch upon my first visit

It does happen everywhere but I do think the mall sometimes attracts the idiots more than most.I think the chavs are attracted to it because its running round a shopping centre which is their natural habitat. Just be glad theres not a McDonald's in there or it would be over ran by people wearing airmax trainers. You also get the odd visiting blowhards that take things a bit too serious for how the mall runs. Most of the more regular players are usually a good bunch of people though.

It's true. The body wash is quite often vaunted as an effective tick and flea preventative for dogs. Makes you wonder what the hell's in it!

I love my fast helmet, and the mesh i rigged on the front too lol Wish i had known what would be comfortable on my face when i started, that has been the biggest hurdle for me

There's no 'rank structure' in airsoft, it's grown men and teenagers shooting at each other with BB guns for fun. As for awarding yourself a couple of stripes.... get a grip, rank in the military (in most branches at least) is EARNED with hard work and merit, not simply having been round the block a few times. Imagine how much of a tit you'd look if someone recognised the unit badge and rank slide and asked "oh, you're in 2 para, do you know L/Cpl Smith, his mates call him Smudge?" and you have to reply "sorry mate, just thought I'd give myself a couple of stripes since I think I've got some leadership skills".

Buy a G&G, best of both worlds you get a new gun and experience on fixing and upgrading everytime it breaks. ☺

Told ya SD king of crap guns. ?

Smoke grenades. Two is one. One is none

G&P look good but have been put off them. One of the guys who plays at our milsim had one crack on him due to brittleness of the metal. Would go Krytac or ERG

A lot of people make that mistake.

This isn't a myth peddled by the avon sales reps is it - like when the Cif stand in Aldi told me that Cif by the pallet load could also de-spider your garden, and leave it smelling lemon-fresh to boot?

Some kind of embalming fluid!?

Yep, the actual issue is overkilling anyway. Who cares if you are shooting nothing or someone not taking their hits for 5 seconds?

Hahaha I don't know the team name or individuals but it got so bad that almost half of the blue side went home at lunch I do remember one of the red side was wearing black & another was in an almost PMC loadout, these were the guys who refused to acknowledge my hits even when they were a blatant 50/50 Plus both my rifles were playing up in all morning with misfires but were fine in the afternoon

Oooooh, I love a good bitchfest, name names!

How true is that :/ Related learning point: if someone is new to sniping with a high fps set up they likely won't know what 30 metres is for their minimum engagement distance. Expect some very painful hits from very close ranges. Learnt this from experience when a young lad (~13 years old) shot me in the head from 10 metres away. After I stopped cursing a marshal was informed and the lad had to ditch his rifle when he couldn't prove that he knew what 30 metres was. He was disappointed but the safety rules are there for a reason.

Things I wish that I'd of known.... 1)How useless mesh masks are. they may protect your teeth but restrict you from looking down the sights as you would normally which really ruins the day for me (no longer use anything, looking into dust masks but I reckon those may also be a hindrance). 2)how serious some people take it and also how big it is, like full on international mil sims lasting a few days/week. 3)Avon skin so soft face cream. Anyone who plays in woods will understand. 4)which shops to give a wide berth and which sites offer the best gameplay for your money and location. 5)most importantly, especially for new players - talk to as many people as you want, have fun, go solo and sniper, follow a highly regarded team and learn/tag along, try anything you wish, don't feel you have to conform to the rest as they're not always the best.

So Iv been looking at the umarex mp7 aeg as it's only 110 quid on airsoft world.net and 6 100rd mags are 44 quid. That's a whole loadout for 155 quid and I love the mp7. However it's only stated as having 240fps and I'm not sure how that's going to fair as I haven't used a gun that low before. It's for indoor cqb 50 foot max engagement at the most (maybe less). Any experience with this gun and would you recommend?

They were $280 for the Stoner, which had only about 100 rounds through it; there was one on AFUK for around £300. The AK was a real steal for about $160, as it needs a new cylinder head and the guy who had it had zero tech experience. So yea, it's going well

I 2nd temprell's comment about the GBB version. shoots like a dream, has the occassional misfire but nothing you can't fix, and the mags are worth the price (around £30-40).

That happens everywhere though...

I saw yesterday how SOME teams can be right wankers & not take there hits when you hit them numerous times because they think there above everyone else & hate it when you show them up

Don't do what I did the other day. Crack open the side of the gearbox and spring popped out blowing everything out of the gearbox, lesson truly learnt.

Use a riser mount for your scope, dont get any issues with using a mesh mask then and you dont end giving the dentist £500.

I enjoy playing at the mall and had some great days there, but just a shame a couple of idiots spoiled it for me in the morning session but the afternoon went well

This. I run a 300 fps bolt in my rifle when I fancy a challenge at a CQB site or want to be really quiet at a woodland site. As long as your hop is set correctly you can still be pretty effective with a lower fps rifle. Added bonus you have no minimum engagement distance on a sub 350 fps set up. Can be very handy if spotted. Edit: Plus with a weaker spring you can cycle the bolt faster/easier. Very useful for quick follow up shots.

Steady on meow.

I wouldn't as the umarex aeg is full size so no other mags will fit. Only mag you can use is the one that comes with it. No mags are produced as of yet for it. And I know as I bought one. Can't get mags get a tm one instead. Or if you have cash a vfc gbb one.

you ain't wasted much time stateside annoying thing is bet they were a lot cheaper over there than this side of pond nice collection - ready for most sites it seems

Too bad it's not the FPS that counts.

Ermm....what? A FAST helmet really doesn't make that much difference to the size of your head. What are you concerned about?

Suppose you have a lot of CAT BURGLARS then - lol ok I'll get me coat - wtf - some bastid's nicked me coat

Ah i loved it! Will defo be a regular on my list of sites. @sacarathe: mate is tons of space in the safe zone and my pts rm4 was running 350fps so couldnt play it and it spent the whole day sat in the save zone. I was very happy to leave it there too. I spent the whole day running about with a we m&p and my m&p sai both with extended mags. Was still awesome! Also the shop thats there is excellent too. The guy sold me a returned unwanted we m&p cheap and did a deal on the mags as i wanted an extra pistol and more mags when my aeg was ruled out. Unfortunatly was my last outing till mid september :'( as my gf wants the plumbing and electrics finished in our house so she can paint it n we can move in.

Tropic Thunder. Sorry... I'll get my coat...

I love the old itv Sharpe movies, some of the best worst acted films ever haha We were soldiers is an epic war movie.

Biggest disappointment? My children. Barring that; the WE pistols I bought.

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.

Here is my cm16 raider L not as good as the rest of the guns on here but its a start when i have some more money i am going to put a foregrip and some rail covers on it.

Same here, I'm now downsizing to a simple chest rig and dump pouch rather than a whole Assault vest filled with stuff I will never need. As the old expression goes "Keep it simple, stupid!"

One step closer... Adapter turned up today....here it is with my suppressor (I know Stonebridge doesn't have the KAC style, however, I had this already and I like it on there)

I couldn't care less if there were U18 players younger than me at skirmishes. As long as they don't turn up in jeans with the latest JBBG special and don't act like a weapons expert because they played Call of Duty, I don't mind. That and following the rules correctly and refraining from blind firing, that is

My pride and joy, an ARES Defence Shrike AWS (Advanced Weapon System). Its a dual-feed (Belt-fed and/or STANAG mag capability), mine is the HurricanE full metal kit fitted onto a CA CQB-R (Only gun I could get my hands on). It has a Prometheus Tight bore barrell and upgraded internals. I have two electric 5,000 rd HurricanE that easily keep up with its 20+ BB per second fire rate. FPS is a decent 320. I mainly use 0.28g BBs in it and because of the TM hop rubber and hop-unit thet fly for miles..... Gun is topped off with an Elcan 3x Scope. (clone 8) ) Here is a you-tube clip of a real-steel in action:
