it's a character trait i don't understand. i mean if you wanted to out macho the other guy surely you'd be doing paintball instead? it's why statements like "oh don't be a wuss" really annoy me when talking about things like intentional headshots in this game, like disliking pain is somehow a character flaw.

I'm kind of playing devil's advocate here, but often I find the shooting of dead players happens because said player isn't making it clear they're hit and out of the game. For example at my last game I saw a group of players get hit and one of them still had his gun up and shouldered. One short burst later and he's bitching about being shot when already dead. Thinking about it he was probably just dicking about with his mates, but if you want to do that then don't do it in the middle of an active game area

It was hilarious tbf. 1st shot was an awful near miss because I had my rifle slightly canted, but he didn't seem to realize he was under fire. 2nd shot was deflected by a twig and went in his cheek. 3rd shot was square on his nose. All this from 30m tops so the BB had plenty of energy, it's not like I was a mile away. Was cocking the 4th shot but then a teammate took him out. I'm happy though, finally the vsr had the chance to show its worth (please note that I am shit at sniping so even getting one shot off is an achievement for me).

Seeing as this is basically a Hi Capa build thread now....has anyone done something interesting with a 4.3? Just bought a 4.3 Dual Stainless but starting to regret it as there doesn't seem that many slide options. So looking for inspiration.

Oh, that often happens, but I'm kvetching about taking a skin-breaking burst in the side of the face after shouting, waving, then walking away with my gun held over my head and still waving, with no other players anywhere near me. Sometimes it really is just a case of a complete nobwaffle deciding to send another burst downrange for giggles. But they had some classic bantz, finished that really crucial phone call, and got to smoke the best cigarette ever. Hah, I'm rocking the keto bro lifestyle now. Carbs are Satan's spooge, get them behind thee. Memeing aside, I really would recommend low carbs, it's amazing how addictive and unnecessary they are, and how much better you can feel and perform without sugar rushes and crashes.

Pre skirmish pic from the weekend

A few things: 1) at least 10% of the players never listen to the marshals, especially the game brief and begin playing there own 'thing'. 2) Being shot in the neck by a 500fps rif from 10m away on the Adams apple really hurts. (judging distance lessons required for that super mega gucci bearded ghillie up player). 3) my 5+yr old g&g r8L outlasted and out ranged some very expensive RIFS this weekend so high prices don't aways equal high happiness/quality. 4) everyone is always up for a good time and most players are more than happy to help. 5) it's addictive, fun and is a positive way to spend a day keeping active. 6)the pigeon chest/sparrow legs complex is high before first game (when photos are taken for social media use)however, by midday most are burning the last remnants of their reserves of monster energy and macdonald meals and look like zombies (and then quit early). 7) finally, marshals are not always right. This may sound like I'm dripping but this is me on a good day.

It wasn't a full sized rifle, I had my AAP smg/dmr with me, which is the size of a MP9 more or less. My whole kit was bodged up in a hurry though, next time i'll be more prepared.

Well, it was an eventful day. Typical high ROF dude that was pissing people off never letting his finger off the trigger and hosing people down at close range. Kids playing with what seemed like no direct supervision which lead to a few safety issues (leaving mags in guns in safe zone then when reminded to take it out do so and FIRE towards the benches where people were sat) Some douche canoe setting off multibangs in the safe zone too. Lots of complaining too, my partner was sat in the safe zone all day (she had prep to do for an interview and liked not having a her pc or tv to distract her) and she just loved hearing all the guys coming back from the field moaning about their guns and other players. For me though, it rained i got hurt, I got shot I got to use my new rifle (although lost the included tools that came with it because FUCK YOU ARES) and enjoyed my day and got absolutely soaked. 10/10 would do again

Well, yesterday I learned that playing with a BASR is a hell of a lot different than with my m4. forgetting that i have a rate of fire that'll make my grandads sex life look fast paced. did make the day more interesting though but I am glad I still took the M4 so i could switch out during the day. This is why i like using chest rigs. I hate the idea of not realising ive been shot due to having too much gear on resulting in forcing someone to aim for my face to get my attention.

@leadly Just be aware that a non-standard trigger will prevent you from being able to use the CTM holster if you have one of those (even AA's own adjustable trigger).

Mmm, I never used to be bothered about MEDs until I started running a BASR and DMR (not at the same time, pedants). Now all I see is players disregarding MED and ROF, and it never being picked up on by marshals, even when you point it out. It's a very slippery slope - once you see someone else taking the piss with them, there's always a temptation to get a few metres closer, or twitch your finger a bit quicker.

Took about a month to get here from Italy, but a few bits for the MWS should I decide to actually install any of them.

That's some pretty serious teflon player action. I've yet to see someone take two shots to the face from my VSR and not call it, but they're .48s at 2.3J. I've definitely seen people shrug off multiple body shots though, even at that weight and power. And you just need a smaller 2nd gun. I bought a Cyma mp5k and it's not too difficult carrying both it and the VSR, though I'll agree it gets difficult with a larger secondary rifle. I did it with my 416 and it worked, but it was much harder and I'm 6'5 and heavily built, so two guns isn't as big on me.

Ah, pain games. Usually wanted by those who are trying hide their insecurities or make up for shortcomings elsewhere

Sounds more like an episode of that Japanese game show Endurance than airsoft.

Today I learned that people can take two 0.3s to the face from a sniper rifle, bleed, and shrug them off like nothing happened And that trying to carry 2 guns and a pistol is a cunt.

Good, that's the letter of the law - selling "for the purpose of". A future booking says more about your intentions than past behaviour. Their risk, their choice, there's nothing dodgy going on. Enjoy. Today I learned that even when you're at a site that chronos in Joules (huzzah), and even when you personally set the chrono to your BB weight, and even when you point out the Joules figure on it to a marshal, he might still say "Hang on a second..." and look up the FPS number versus BB mass on his phone. I mean, I don't mind the thoroughness, but... it's right there on the chrono.

Just got back my Costa Carry build from a service with these guys and they are fantastic. Good comms, good service, good price. If you need parts or work done definitely a good place for it.

I’ve used treatstock for 3D printing, you will need the files to upload so if you don’t have them then thingverse has quite a few magpul designs https://www.treatstock.co.uk/ https://www.thingiverse.com

Ive had a few thousand rounds through 3 of them and absolutely fine. The CYMA MP5’s are nice. Heavy tho.

Getting ready for a game day tomorrow but I thought this little pile of stuff was picture-worthy I have to balance out my Airsoft Karma, so for every game I run about with a primary adaptor’d Hi-Capa I can make up for it with a less speedy-boi and far more serene DMR game

holy thread revival batman! Guessing it was the aforementioned bot:

Your definition of 'helpful' seems to be 'a way I can change the law,' well I'm sorry, you can't, so nothing you hear from anyone will be 'helpful' to you in that case. The simple fact is that if you want a 6mm BB gun in the colour of 'blued steel' you will need to be able to provide the seller with a defence. For most sellers this will be by giving them UKARA details, and whilst others will accept (and be well within the law by doing so) other forms of evidence that you are intending to use the gun at a proper airsoft site, none of them should be willing to accept the angle of 'I really want to shoot at paper targets but it just won't be the same unless the gun looks proper real.' Here's the helpful bit; your options are: - buy two tone; after all, you're only shooting at targets - play some airsoft and therefore be able to provide a seller with a defence - attempt to get a seller to put themselves in a potentially very serious legal position by selling to you despite the facts that you cannot provide them with any defence - buy something in .177/4.5mm, since they perform in basically the same way as other guns (and certainly allow you to rapidly shoot targets) and look the same as 'real guns' (including blued steel variants) but you need only be over 18 to get one Hope that helps.

Am I the only one who's not seeing what the problem is? If you want to get an airsoft pistol for target shooting you can, just buy a two-tone. Nobody needs any defence for anything and away you go. If you just want to rapid target shoot then the colour of the thing really shouldn't matter.

DMR decided to shit itself and eat the BTC Spectre (i suspect) so that's an expensive repair. And once again snipers being liberal with the 30m med. But on the plus side, I manage to come home with all my kit so that's a bonus.
