Did you get to take his weapon in hand aswell?Was he happy using your little white balls?

I am lucky that my wife supports my new found hobby and knows that I would consult with her to de-conflict our diary engagements. Family has to come first and in this the Jedi Mistress is to be obeyed! However, I have so far managed to do all my chores to earn the free time, so played today but will be busy on bank holiday Monday sorting out the garage and garden regardless of weather. Work does get in the way, I work irregular shifts and weekends at least once every 5 weeks. I have scheduled some time off work to play on Wednesday evenings. At least with walk-on there is usually no pre-booking required so should allow some future flexibility to just turn up (providing my kit is prepared and packed). Most important is that my wife does not know just how much I have spent on airsoft to date.

Only reason for no G&G is coz they don't sell G&G at TaiwanGun otherwise....... G&G G&G G&G G&G G&G G&G

Here you go, TM VSR GSpec, Full Laylax kit with a 430mm 6.03 barrel, Standard hop unit and rubber but with a shimmed Airsoft Pro hop lever. Hawke 4-12 x 50mm Scope, LLCS and Custom sprayed stock/scope Currently 485fps with .2's and 461fps with .43's so it joule creeps 20fps, better than before with my ASPUK set-up.

Boring L96 that I've had for far too long. Can be fun but it's pretty outmatched by longer barrel VSRs. Edit: 350mm (roughly, I don't remember exactly) PDI 9.01 PDI hop up unit with R-Hop Airsoft Pro trigger, cylinder, guide rod and piston PDI 180 spring that puts out 445 with .2s but I've got a 210 and a 220 that will take it up to as far as 560 with a bitch of a bolt cycle PDI duralumin shortened fluted barrel and suppressor adaptor Some Laylax bits here and there like end-screw, cheek screws etc. Scope is a Visionking 3-9 x 42

also means she doesn't have to dip into her "shoes & bags & clothes & lippy" fund it ain't female logic - it's wise wifey common sense

Nice eyepros.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Elegant-Metal-Mesh-Protective-Mask-Half-Face-Tactical-Airsoft-Military-MaskL-/261952165673?var&hash=item3cfd90d729&autorefresh=true

Met up with Jedi today, I held his gun in return for him sharing his bb's with me. It felt great. True story.

'Most important is that my wife does not know just how much I have spent on airsoft to date' - yeah that's why my 901 chest rig and other items were £40 from a place on amazon with a voucher used!.....haha i'll keep your secret safe!

I guess I'm a little different to the majority here in that I have a Mon-Fri job and that leaves my weekends free. I have 12 year old twin sons who come and stay with me every other weekend and Airsoft gives me a hobby that I can engage in with my 2 boys where previously if it didn't involve Xbox we had nothing to talk about. It means we can look forward to going somewhere together and gives me stuff to buy them for birthdays/Christmas etc. It also means that on the weekend they're not with me I can also go and Airsoft. My wife is really into running and she'll happily go out and run while I'm out playing soldiers. I realise I'm in a really fortunate position in that not everyone can go as often as I can so I intend to make the most of it!

G&P War Rifle with P* Jack installed. Just waiting for my Madbull Battle stock and new flash hider and it's complete. Retro Arms fire selector installed as well.

Congratulations duck a whole post and not one mention of G&G or combat machine.It must be some sort of first going to print it and frame it, its a historic moment. ?

Good choice on the gun. Grip and sling will be ok. Mag not sure but as a rule I would stay away from dboys stuff. The red dot might be an issue if you have poor vision. If you have an astigmatism the dot can appear blurry like a smear rather than a crisp dot. Glasses can help but dont always totally sort it. Have a look through someone elses red dot and check for yourself. Battery get either a 9.6v nimh or 7.4v lipo. Best bbs are probably ASG blasters good quality and reasonable price you want to use 0.25gram. Good shout on not going for a Honey badger or amoeba they are crap like all ares. Seen two honey badgers die on the first day and its one of the ugliest airsoft guns ever.

The correct FPS on a .43 in a 500fps (On .2) settup is 341. Other than R-hopping the thing then running an M130 i'm leaving it as is! I get 70-80 meters now nicely, before it would go further with overhop but that was with the +50fps joule creep. I switched to the Laylax settup because it uses the TBB to gain fps rather than running a higher rate spring (Which leads to Joule creep badly).

I'm that sad this stuff is my new life - everything else is fitting around me seriously - as the world is 25hrs & 8 days a week many of us are finding jobs are not always the 9-5 anymore I've worked nights for 20 -25yrs and the "extra" for unsociable hours has fallen over the last 10yrs overtime & the Sunday "double bubble" is history in many places as companies try to remain competitive (or shaft the workers - depends which way you look at it) Double Day shifts - have now given in to Continental Shifts - that is often brought in and sold to unsuspecting workforce only later they realise they are working every other Saturday for flat rate & most never realised the full implications Still - good luck to all of ya looking for work - kudos to the grafters out there whatever profession you get into (unless you are corporate banker & a complete w@nker)

I think it's pretty disgusting for any company to ask you to work on a Sunday unless they're paying you a significant amount more to give up your time. It takes people away from their families, friends and hobbies - frankly, what's the point in living if you don't even get those two days off. Really, if they're making you work weekends with no additional pay then I'd say tell them to roll it up very tightly and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

I play badminton once a week, gym twice a week, I like to cycle and airsoft as well as do call out, diy and work between 5 and 7 days a week so going 4 times a year is an achievement lol. The wife is more than happy for us to do it but there is just not enough days a year, and to top it off the site I goto only does first and 3rd Sunday of the month.

It's hard!!!! I'm lucky if I get to go 4 times a year. I love the sport, but being on call, the wife and diy seem to take up most of my weekends. It's gutting. But on those few magical weekends you do go, god the wait is worth it ?

Don't work on a Sunday.

Yep or M14 or G36, all the guns people buy to avoid getting an M4 or whatever can make up over 50% of the guns on a game day. Nice to have some variety but there's guns people seem to think are a lot rarer than they actually are.

I post this topic looking for advice, I want to Airsoft as often as possible but having a job where you work weekends and have one day off a week makes it very hard. How do the people of the forum fit their passion for the sport into busy hectic lives? Tell me damn it!

my mancrafted VSR G SPEC, slightly different now though (the white pipe isn't that visible lol) ... still waiting on my new scope though

just spotted one near me on FB (pics look ok, lots of chips close up though) £170 ...... £145 new http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-m4-m15-m16-variants/cyma-cm-002a1-m4a1-airsoft-gun-black.htm#.VeN1m_lVhBc

So like some I technically work Monday to Friday, although as a teacher I generally work from home either Saturday or Sunday to get caught up. When I started my other half worked 28 days on 28 days off and lived at the company house in Gravesend when she was on shift. Weekends on months when she was off were spent with her. Weekends that fell in her work months were basically free for me to find skirmishes. Sometimes I worked it so I would airsoft on the Saturday at a site drive to Gravesend and go out for dinner and spend the night with her then get up on Sunday when she went to work and I would play the Sandpit or somewhere else close. She has changed job and now does Monday to Friday. Occasionally she gets sent offshore like for the last month she has been in Brazil. Which means I have had an airsoft fest! Weekend milsim at Tuddenham, weekend off, weekend at tuddenham, sunday at the sandpit today. If she is still away next weekend I will play Gunman Norwich on Sunday possibly. Mind you I pretty much had a 3 month ban before our wedding in July. I think I normally get in about one game day every 2 months.

Marui Gspec, ''One Joule'' build. 330FPS,just on the legal limit. Laylax Piston and Laylax 100 Spring,everything else in the cylinder is stock,no real point in changing anything in my situation. Cheap SHS sear set.Nothing amazing but it works. Hop- ''Custom'' hop up arm,filled the stock one with epoxid,and shaped it to copy the dangerwerx ones. PDi W-hold bucking,and stock barrel. but polished to a mirror finish,like the cylinder. Use .28s and .32s usually. Joule creeps constantly,hilariously over volumed. Been a while since i checked the numbers but it was spitting out .30s at 1.25J~ish. Right now I'm using Nuprol .28s which have pleasantly surprised me.Have not had feeding issues with them yet,and they're easy for me to see. Performance- Good enough. 50-ish meters and ''It will deffo hit'' accuracy. I usually like to get up close and go mad minute bolting anyway. Wanting to get a smaller optic,like a red dot. local shop has NC star Gen 2 DP red dot sights for 25 quid,good idea? http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/n-arxsrf/n3wox/products/8544/images/11537/DPTV2___25113.1421530239.1280.1280.jpg?c=2

Pre-Ban just means it had slight different bolt which allowed you to adjust the FPS easily. It was before they stopped them due to FPS limits etc.

I have a hectic life of working away from home for half a week every week, gym and seeing the Mrs as much as I can as we don't live together yet. But I still fit in airsoft on a Sunday at least once a month. Thankfully the Mrs is ok with it and I fit it around other stuff.

My Pre-Ban Tanaka all HPA'd Excuse the Mrs pictures lol

I know this is a hefty bump, but I thought it'd better be in the right place: I bought some of those Nuprol .30 tracers and they work great. I know there's been some discussion about some batches being crap so obviously the usual caution to give them a quick vision inspection before cracking the bottle open, but the bottles I've bought seem to be fine and function well. I crushed one and found it to be satisfactory - some air pockets but nothing more than expected from mid-range BBs. Given that they're the only people making tracers above .25g I'm happy to go with it. Also, regarding the Green Devils: I spoke directly with Graham as the site is currently down and bought them through him. Just drop him an e-mail - it was completely painless. http://greendevilbb.com/

I know that I like to keep my weapon clean, currently giving it a good rub down after some hard use earlier. Then I have to polish my helmet

The other player was happy to get his hands on my larger balls (.23g) but he was well slung so I did not need to grip the stock while he pumped the balls.

This is my SVD. Its an A&K, heavily upgraded. I have recently applied a shellac coating to my woodwork.

So today down it the woods and a player on my team ran out of ammo. To save him the walk of death back to the safe zone, I just took out my TM speed loader and gave it to him so he was able to bomb-up his low cap mag and stay in the fight. It felt good to help out another player. Airsoft karma.

where there's a will there's a way mate. some of the site's in the area have games on different days and evenings. airsoft should be regarded like sleep on operations in the old days get as much as you can when you can, cause you never know when the next opportunity will be.

how do I fit it all in...well I looked into it many years ago, some on here prob in nappies then! haha.... until July this year I hadn't been to a game, now im counting down...3 weeks now...until my 2nd game ive always been interested and read forums over the last year, I just wish I had got to a game sooner! now I have 2 children and married with house stuff to do etc., kids to entertain etc, with wifey going back to work one day a week, as long as I tell her, she'll let me go, so im looking at atleast once every 4 to 6 weeks!, full or half day games depending....

sadly I can't claim any credit for it!

At the end of the day the M4 is the best platform for airsoft because it is so common. A ton of aftermarket parts so you can truly create your own gun and get the best performance possible.My Sigs not very common though and will definitely be a 1 of a kind when I have finished messing around with it.

Finally gave in to the addiction and got myself; Bulle MOLLE Recon chest harness, admin pouch, MP5 Triple mag pouch, and a pouch for water. (For longer outdoor sessions) New pair of cargo pants, a MOLLE pistol holster and a dump pouch. All in Olive green. And some ESS Advanced V12s on ebay new. Worse thing is I'm still constantly thinking of small things to get later as well.. Like a cheap fast helmet and neck pro..

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.

The only good point I've heard & this is a direct quote "Consistent fps for any site, you'll never look back BUT it gets damn expensive"

A newbie player had his rental run out of battery mid game once. I just gave him my ģ36 and ran in pistols blaring. Got no problem lending my gear.

'hey snakeeyes could you hold my gun for me while I fill my two hi caps with some of your spare ammo' cheeeeeeeers geeeeeeeza

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.

Be careful with that depending on the shape of your lid you might end up looking like a nob, by that I mean literally a camouflaged penis.

Hahahah I'm looking forward to this

A hat works very well to protect from hits to the head. A boonie hat will offer some protection for the ears, helmets don't tend to be as good for this. Also a boonie hat is better for hiding as it breaks up your outline more.

Best gun bling is the xcortech x3300w. Theres lots of lasers and nice tactical torches but ammo counters are a rarity.

Can't - my schedule is too full what with ballet & violin lessons

So horrifically over power for any UK site then, useful
