Room clearing drill: pull, throw. Frag self, get mediced, repeat. The issue I have with these courses is: who's training you, and are they training you to play airsoft against rental chavs, or to murderise insurgents up a treat (and then you get rinsed by rental chavs). I've seen a few of these advertised on Failbook, typically promoted as being run by an ex-Delta Special Ranger SAS Force Operator. When I've asked how they've established said person's bona fides to be sure that they're not just some grifting Walt, it's been crickets, blocking, or the claim suddenly alters.

Fwiw, I had a pair of scope rings that were ordered late June and sat in China until early September when they finally left and were delivered a few days after. Could just be some sellers are crap. I've found that to be unusual though.

Got round to getting some pictures of the front handguards. First off, a comparative shot of the two different mounting mechanisms. You can see that the TM (left) mounts slightly differently and is also lower than the RS grip, to allow more battery space. Additionally a top down shot of the TM and then RS grip shows that in the area behind the attachment hook, the TM version cuts away almost immediately whereas the RS gradually tapers down - again meaning the TM has more battery room. Finally, you can see the difference in how the TM and RS grips look. There's not a huge amount in it, but note that the RS rides up a bit at the rear end (see how the rear corner almost touches the rail mount on the RS, but has a defined gap on the TM) and also you can again see that the RS grip is shorter by comparing where it sits against the magwell.

Well, the simplest way to git gud at room clearing is to John Wick in while shouting "You missed, you missed, I didn't feel it, gun hit, didn't feel it, missed." My very mild concern about actually paying for training to play pretend soldiers with toys is that it might - might, not saying that it does - indicate a predilection for winning the game rather than playing the game. I'm thinking of a couple of players I've met who took it all far too seriously, and ended up flouncing or being kicked out of the hobby. All that said, I would be interested in doing such a training day, if only to see how well it really works in airsoft versus fearless rentals and pre-firing speedy bois.

That’s the thing. If it’s ‘eliminate everyone because it’s airsoft’ then 9/10 times the speedsofter will win. If I’ve designed the mission as ‘rescue the VIP’ then the speedsofter will fail the entire mission in two seconds, and the defenders will have the advantage over gamers who think they can stack up in doorways. The group who’ve prepared for rapid sacrificial CQB can draw out the defenders from their shadowy hiding spots and have one final player alive to bring out the VIP The conjecture with nothing to do with airsoft is about understanding the tactics - knowing why they are what they are and how to apply them to situations It’s also why there is a generation of ex soldiers with valid CQB experience. CQB isn’t just the realm of special forces, it was the bread and butter of quite a few ‘ordinary’ infantry for a few years recently clearing compounds and buildings.

Haha, I didn’t even go this weekend. Just posted that for my own entertainment to see who got it

In the true words of Ice Cube the warrior poet himself.

Took my mws and a back up. MWS ran perfectly, I didn’t even have to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day.

When you're going to the toilet for the first time after a week eating ration packs And when you're done

Nothing wrong with the CYMA... save your money and stick with that ? Just add a half decent sight and sniper tape, jobs a goodun.

Printed will do fine with HPA, I'd argue better than green as the impact would be a lot more constant and the output more consistent. I have been running a Mi3D build virtually exclusively since March and that thing has had well over 10K through it and hasn't missed a beat. I run 80psi though and like you have put a 5.1 length barrel in, I make a very nice 1.01J with a .25 which is fine for indoors. The idea of having a dedicated slide for for different purposes is very logical but as you've mentioned, I have almost more capa's than days of the week but I find myself gravitating towards 1 more than any of the others. You'd likely find yourself just "not being bothered" swapping about as once you find "the one" you'll stick with it. Wow! I've purposefully not been hounding him as I know he's had issues but if they're in the UK that's a huge advantage. I was tempted to stick an order in to Rainbow and see if the VIP arrived before the BC. I may just drop Kyle a message now and see what these other slides are as well..... Cheers for the heads up lol.

This isn't my first rodeo

Lol that’s actually a good idea

Can you afford/get hold of enough pyro to do it properly? If not do it speedsoft style as the outcome will be more or less the same as it’s who can shoot faster and at least you will be a moving target. https://ifunny.co/tags/speedsoft At the last cqb based venue I played at to use reusable pyro you had to reach your arm into the room and drop it because apparently if you post it under arm my trmr can bounce up and hit someone in the face!!!! Cue getting your arm shot by anyone with a quick response and the thing wouldn’t go off half the time. I love crazy safety rules in a game where you are actively trying to shoot people at close range. In the face!!!!!

Mmm, indeed. I don't mind honest advertising, and if it's some ex Royal Marine or similar who's actually an airsofter doing it mostly for a laugh, that's another thing. But I'm thinking of one weekend in particular that was advertised as featuring training by an ex-SAS member, then you'd camp out and listen to his riveting tales of derring do. When I asked how they'd established the identity of someone who isn't supposed to identify himself, who can't be verified, and why he would be blabbing operational details, the advertising got quietly amended to "ex military". Even at that, I'd wonder. Still, we do this for fun, and if you enjoy the experience, it's all good. Another thing to consider is asking your local site if you could rent it out on an off-day for your team, specifically to practice tactics and set-situations against the marshals. They might enjoy that as well.

A more suspicious person would wonder at a new account bigging up a retailer as their first post. Not me though, I trust everything that I read online without question.

Kyle told me about another pretty sweet 4.3 slide that’s on the way. I’ve got a photo and the knowledge that HCH have ten on the way. It’s STi like the Costa VIP but much prettier imho Alternatively, HCH’s stock of Battlecat 4.3 are actually in the UK now (As soon as customs clear Kyles parcel)

I’ve always been a believer in that if someone is offering any kind of military based training course that the public can attend and it doesn’t cost hundred pounds(training with someone who has time served experience isn’t cheap no matter what field it’s in)then there’s a VERY good chance the person running it is either a walt or bloater . I’ve family and friends who’ve spent yrs working for big international security companies that are also involved in training others and I’m pretty sure none of the ‘bonafide’ companies would have anything to do with training Joe public AND they charged thousands for their courses . What it comes down too is the guys who could train you do this properly from their own personal experience are already getting payed mega bucks to do it for a big company somewhere , they don’t need to run Mickey Mouse courses that anyone can attend for a couple of quid . As lots have said just YouTube the crap out of it and I’m sure you’ll substantially up your game just by doing that . ?

I like how you put the frag self, get mediced, repeat real small ?? I do have a 9mm oshiboom grenade which works wonders and I already do the pieing on doorways etc but I just love even if not used completely in Airsoft learning and trying to implement a more realistic play style, I just have more fun that way ?? but aye I do agree that there’s a lot of those kinda people on Facebook hence asking on the forum to try avoid them all ? That’s the thing mate, if all else fails it’ll be a good craic and a good laugh ??

I play alone quite a lot but every now and again I go with a few buddies, I’d ideally like to do the course with a mate or two so we can all learn the drills and be more fluent when it comes to playing as a team I’ve watched a few of his vids but I’m Not a massive fan of his, I’ll check out camp Sparta and see what’s what I’ve actually watched all of the UF PRO videos, that’s originally what got me wanting to learn more CQB tactics ??

Yes, he's ex-military but that doesn't mean he's a CQB expert. Plus it's more of the same "CHEETER EXPOSED!!!!!" "EX SQUADDIE DESTROYS AT AIRSOFT" clickbait bullshit. Personally, I'd recommend this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/rwiley1690 (active duty SWAT officer that also plays airsoft) or these guys

I seem to recall Legion Airsoft have done some training events in the past but I'm not seeing any more scheduled. UFPro on YouTube have some pretty decent videos too

I look forward to seeing a full Triggers broom transformation.

That would be great buddy. So spent the day doing a second susat and LSW.

Update on the L22. Finally sourced a real HK foregrip. Plus after some help from a member on here, have designed and made some correct Sa80 and susat QR code stickers.

My SCAR-H I'm calling the 'Broadsword'. I just need a new torch, and a couple of unity mod buttons for the dbal/torch and it's finally finished.

Got myself an E&L AK74N, bloody love it and can’t wait to use it:

isn't this a thread for jokes not well established facts?

Collecting for quite a while now, still happy as a child, when I get my hands on something rare - in this case, the happyness is accompanied by something like awe, as it doesn't get much rarer than this Tanaka Colt SAA Casyopea (which already is rare as hell in and of itself, as these were banned in Japan together with their Casyopea counterpart, the S&W M500) with a Prime CNC Brass Kit (possibly the only brass kit for Casyopea in existence, either a mod of a Pegasus brass kit, or Prime has begun to build one of these, but stopped when the Casyopeas were banned in Japan). The loading breach is black, as are the hammer and the trigger. Might be, that Prime stopped production midway... or maybe a modder lost interest to go full monty... So this might be a real one-off, in this configuration possibly the only one of its kind. Build quality is extremely high, of course, and it has a very nice, authentic weight of 1.030g. The Casyopea shells are a lot of fun. Really pretty enthusiastic about this one ?
