Normally my response would be 'yeah, sure', before immediately leaning it against the nearest solid object and carrying on with what I was doing. In a jokey way, of course. Unless it was a particularly interesting gun. Then I'd ask to have a few shots with it while I was holding it. Had a guy with a M249 do that when I first started. Many of his BBs were spent. I regret nothing.

Your not getting out of it now. Its on the internet for the whole world to see. You have been outed as having an interest in fondling another mans weapon. No one will ever forget. I promise.

I keep a special bag of Bulldog 0.12s for just such occasions.

For long term storage (months of no use) you want to keep lipo's with a reasonable amount of charge in them, but not low or fully charged. They gradually lose a bit of power over time, so storing them nearly empty can kill them outright and fully charged can cause them to puff up. But otherwise just keep them disconnected in a non-conductive box. Used to do RC racing, someone had a metal case full of NI-MH's that they had lined with electrical tape, the inevitable happened and one shorted out. Sounded like a bomb going off, tore the case apart!

thanks for the replies guys and if u are thinking that it's stupid money for me to spend I have earnt it all myself through my job so it's not a case of "spoilt kid with mommies credit card and no grasp of money"

Bloody hell...... Toy Gun holding...... Sharing BB love...... Yoda StormTroopers & Star Wars stuff...... Look guys - I'm with ya on all of this but if our other halves or anybody else from the real world reads this I'm starting to realise how really f*cking sad we all are !!!!!! yup fine by me - carry on chaps

Oh crap...bought a Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 with 3 mags....

He is from a navy town so im not shocked by it

Marshmallow launcher. And he actually killed someone with it.

poor bastid - you will end up probably buying more than "just one more gun dear" alas you sound a little like moi - end up keeping most of your stuff (or crap as the other half calls it) thus to attain true hapiness is to say - ahh wtf lets get another to help make my final decision as to which gun I really like..... welcome to the saddo toy gun club

Oh, I'm not miserable, infact i'm quite a happy chappy I have friends that play that take the piss because I always take a good stock of stuff. Makes me pretty angry when people start asking for BB's because they've come unprepared. I've even had a guy ask if he could borrow my rifle AS I WAS USING IT! I think that can be classed as downright rudeness? You can keep your fluffly unicorn flag though, the fact that you have one is worrying

How about a bucket Cut some holes for your eyes & done Depending on how big your head is does SOMETIMES limit the helmet you can use Go into a store & try on there range of helmets if there's one near to you

Excuse me but whats that mean in English?

If you are booking in as a rental you pay in advance, but if you booking in as a walk on then you pay on the door

It turned out to be the motor height adjustment screw (thanks sp00n you were spot on) The constant vibration worked it loose so a bit of tempory thread locker (blue is temp, red is permanent in my little twin pack) so I can still undo it if needs be I prefer the old look but after image research, not all British army persons had the DD rail attached, nor did they have mtp kit I bought if off my mate (started airsoft together) so I know what he's done including the flat hop mod so gets out to 70m as one guy mentioned when he got hit

Team fluffy unicorn all the way

I think this forum needs a choose your own adventure series where we get a poll and whichever option gets the most votes wins. If I was to hold a strangers gun I would make sure to wash my hands afterwards.

I vote Team Fluffy Unicorn assembles at Snakeeyes' next game and all take turns in asking him for BBs and to hold our guns for us. All. Day. Long.

Im probably going to get a front wired on as there is more battery space. Thanks ImTriggerHappy

Option 1. If poppin thru a window I either put the gun thru first, hold it in an awkward pistol angle (in case of being attacked) or hand it to nearest team mate.. I'd wonder if they had issues if they'd refuse (then again, I don't really play walk-ons, so we all tend to know or get to know each other most of the time) When I've gotten thru the window I generally offer to take theirs while they climb. :D Aye, it's strategical! I know where my BBs hit compared to where the red dot is, someone else picking up my gun wont (thou zeroed it last game) For me it's generally to get to hard to reach spaces. The gun will be as much if not more in the way while slung.

I think ive found the perfect gun for me the ics cxp hog.

ok thanks i can never decide what i want theres so much choice

They're very good externally the G&Ps, and the internals are alright but get it as a long-term upgrade project. basically, go for the one you like the look of most, because you should be stripping out the internals at some point.

Yeah the Krytac. Wont break after 5000 rnds either.

Ok so serious subject here. I love Nuprols! Not in a sexy way but I've never found an equal to the .43's! However... I've now had about 3 bottles, first 2 were stunning! 3'rd one (From Landwarrior) was obviously a duff bottle and is horse sh*t! In a standard Gspec barrel they're ok although you get a few flyers, in a 6.03 they jam ever other shot! I'm now using Gunfire Rocket .43's which are "OK" not as good but probably about the best you can get in white.

God no. I hide if I see one, there are some really dubious characters on here. ?

Nuprols are quite good. Think there was some bad ones in first few batch which put people off. The only problem is they are dead on 6mm and a lot of guns get on better with brands which come up smaller. I had problems and and still do with speedloaders but they fly well which for me is the main thing.

I've given mine to my better playing son I'm so not worthy of it as I shoot like a blind squealing little girl trapped in an ol' farts body hence I still use the starter guns too.... If I was using a higher end gun I really would have no excuse why I can't hit anything always blame the gun/tools etc..... nah - I friggin' crap at this but wtf I still enjoy it being cannon fodder for pro's ( and rental noobs - jjjeeeeeez I suck)

And your AF-UK patch so that fellow forum members can recognise each other.

Minimal but unplug it until Sunday to be on the safe side.

The OP was a light hearted thread and the first few posts indeed took it in the direction of double entendre. Maybe I should have caveated the post with "I neither condemn or condone holding a stranger's gun"h. Like life it is all context related, and each situation merits a different response based on circumstance.

If that was Yoda then Yoda needs to lay off the sauce. Sounded like drunk gibberish. As for holding his lightsaber I am more of a stormtrooper than Jedi so will leave that to you ☺

I'm on your side!

One of the few times a gun has stood out for me was when I first laid eyes on a Barrett .50cal someone had brought to a skirmish (cannot remember the brand). Having a deep seated love for sniper rifles I had to go over and have a chat with it's owner. Was a bit dissapointed it was an electric rifle (I prefer spring snipers) but was a nice bit of kit.

If you want a stand out gun get the alien pulse rifle /want

If you are happy that the gearbox is spot on, then go for it, makes the best electrical connection available. If not, just use spades like everyone else.

G&G combat machine, ics m4 second hand

It sounds to me that the OP has a bit of a thing for not helping people when they need it

With that attitude hes already lost.

See my reply above. Is totally true! If the guy hadnt just taken my gun wen i held it out to him i could not of grabbed the ammo tin. That tin was the only one we actually got wich we threw to the top of the stairs and another team member ran off with and we won the game by one point! If he had your attitude we would of lost.

Bloody hell another one. Go and join Snakeeyes in the naughty corner.

Hmm, now i've read the thread...

Infact thinking about it some one held mine at the mall last game i played few weeks back. I turned to him, our eyes met, we said nothing and i just held it out to him, he took it. And i grabbed the package with my now free hands, all under fire. Was special!!

Im comfortable with my own sexuality, i have loving (ish) gf. Id hold another mans weapon in a moment of genuine need.

5. Can I keep it? lol Not had any of the above yet as I am a newbie but sure I will come across it at the mall along with the people needing 'spare' bb's.

Cant believe this is really a question. I have given bbs, tracer bbs, various batteries, pyro and I even gave a kid my back up aeg because I felt sorry for him even chucked in two batteries and charger. Maybe I am too generous but one day it might come back around.

Camo patterns usually have little impact in airsoft and plain brown or green tend to work almost as well. I would however avoid too much black, I find black very easy to spot.

A lot of people make that mistake.

I cant' believe nobody has said "All your base are belong to us" ?
