Now normally I’m definitely not a “guns done !” sort of player as I’m always want to change this’n’that with my guns , but after getting an ‘old school’ red dot from these very forums(very BIG shout out to @kistofurryfor it) I honestly can say I’m really happy with it now and can’t see anything I want different on it . Now that’s nice .

The zero in forums goes down more than a £20 prostitute

His mum's unplugged the Amiga to plug the Dyson in. She won't be long. If he cleaned his bedroom more often there'd be less for her to do tbh.

It's OK, I hear they're biting the bullet and finally upgrading the Commodore 64 to an Amiga.

Baby ? ?

A mere pup lol ! (53)

Yes! I win! Well... lose. Never too old to start, there are plenty of us... around that age... still kidding ourselves that we can keep up with the speedsofters and rentals. Speaking of which, have you rented and played yet?

I got it! All I had to do was hit it a couple times and smack the hatch in place lol. I didn’t wanna hit anything to hard or end up breaking something but I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be closed. thank you all for the help.

Zero one is down? I suppose the one good thing about that place is that it keeps the fuckwits away from here

The Madbull Raptor MP5 suppressor fits and locks great, for the record.

This happens every so often. Comes back sooner or later. Most people nowadays only use it for classifieds.

Practically a youngster ?

I bought some of the Smiths a while back purely so I had a set with a battery pack that's easily relocatable, but I've owned a couple of pairs of ESS Turbofans for.. more years than I can remember. I rate kit the most if it basically vanishes while in use and I don't notice it and the ESS fall well in to that category. I've got plastic mask lower halves zip tied on, I put that combo on my face with the fans on the low setting and go about my game with no worries at all. Being the cheapest of the 3 I'd say go with the Revisions unless you want a specific colour or to move the power supply; but all great eye pro that I couldn't do this hobby without personally.

Take more water with it. Looks like you got the shakes lol ? Regards

Hi all i am new to airsoft and just want to say hi and maybe at some point get help with everything from decent BB.s to buying a rifle and turning it into a DMR as there is so much to choose from i get lost

Didn't stop me....

Niiice! But can you look down sights with it on. ? Regards

Finally after my third game I got to buy and I get to post this lol. I've got a side light and foregrip on the way but so far so good.

So you bought that sight. I had been looking at it too. Certainly looks the part on there.

You can get a pill for that ? Amiga and C64s? Meh, I'm sure I've still got a couple of commodore vic20s and a spectrum 18k in the loft at my parents house

Young in mind old in body that's me. Lol Regards

If that happened when I was there It'd be my last visit. Making a big point about NDs then not acting on it when another happens is 100% on the site, it also makes me wonder what else they would let players get away with.

Upgrading the Atari ST to a C64, they can only dream about an Amiga ?

sometimes ak top covers do need a little smack to get them to seat, it's a good thing as it means the top cover is held tight and won't rattle. worth checking that the latch is still sliding free, can be pretty common for it to get misaligned with its rails in the gearbox casing and not be springing back properly.

Yup that’s ya problem , the catch isn’t engaging hence the dust cover is popping off . you need to get the edge of it in to the slot , give it a bit of brute force and ignorance and it should go in I’ve had it happen with a few AK’s over the years as well . Try pushing the button in as you slide the dust cover on at the same time as well .

I put the front end in the notch and am having issues with the back end. I can’t seem to get the back end inside the lower body as it looks like yours is. It looks like it’s close idk if I have to keep cranking down and banging on the hatch until I feel it lock in. Idk lol I don’t wanna break anything.I already tried pressing it down a bit harder and it didn’t wanna go. https://imgur.com/a/kI0Fwf1 idk if the picture helps at all but I’m trying to get the very back end tucked in how you have it.

isn't that a coronal mass ejection?

I changed the hop rubber and the barrel to a Prometheus unit gave a little more range but better accuracy I didn’t touch the internals, but after chronoing it on site, I probably would have changed the piston head & spring to get a bit more fps out of it

Hi @TheNotoriousLoki ? Just left a little bit of advice! ?? Hopefully enjoy the rest? ? Already sorting out your Loadout, likely to adapt to you through time! ??? ?GAMBLE?

With regards to internal modification, I cannot personally say as I have never worked on TM ebb AK'S However if you've only play a few games and only put a few hundred to a thousand rounds through it, you may want to consider holding off on internal mods, and give the AK a chance to break in. All brand new AK's I have had, have a break in period where intial performance is OK but after a few thousand rounds in my experience there was a noticeable improvement. Just one thing to consider, as it may save you time and money, but it your kit and money so it down to you.

I'm 53 , have a team mate who is over 60 and I know there are quite a few 'senior' folk on here. We all just play our own style of games at our own pace and leave all the running about like their hair is on fire to the cannon fodder , sorry, youngsters while we have a cuppa nd a nice biscuit before providing support ?

Good points and I appreciate the advice. I wasn't referring to having the kit be Instagram worthy in that way I just meant more in a sense that it looks good I just used that wording because the other poster mentioned it in that way. I should have put quotes around it to emphasize that though. I'm not interested in likes, in fact I don't post much on Instagram at all or any social media as I just don't have an interest in it. I just want to like the way my kit looks regardless of what anyone on the field thinks of it however my main point was that I don't want to go full practical and have a kit just full of pockets or like some cheap low quality gear that is only there for the purpose of storage and being accessible and looks hideous. Hell yeah dude. Black SWAT is sick as shit. I was considering it when I saw a picture of someone wearing it but I just like the look of the goggles and the ghillie cloak slightly more than just full black. Amen and I totally agree. As I mentioned to another poster perhaps saying "Instagram" look was a bit misleading as to what I meant. I just meant a look that looks good aesthetically to me. I don't use social media to that point where I would care. The only thing I care about is having a loadout that looks great and cool to me.

Thanks for that, will try again. Looking at his work, gonna be worth the wait.

Still in your prime! ??? ?GAMBLE?

Welcome mate ? All the info you need is in the forum ? You just have to find it ? Unfortunately the choice is lower than it should be because stock is very low everywhere.

MTP is great this time of the year though, site depending. And it's... reasonable on some sites year round, especially if the foliage is lighter coloured. Webbing rigs and camo aren't made to look cool, it's made to be efficient in combat, and it looks cool because of what soldiers do with it. I am a believer in 'form follows function' i.e. make a practical, well made, efficient kit and it will look good.

I am the pinnacle of a tacticool player, and I ain’t scared to admit it. Black SWAT load out in all weather, even snow, and a two-tone sniper rifle. Not practical at all, I get shot loads, but I don’t care. I look cool and I feel good and that’s that. If you actually have a brain-unlike myself- you would choose DPM or MTP. I’d advise DPM due to being in the UK, as it camouflages a lot better than MTP does

Unless you're really just using an airsoft site as a filming location, like Licking Mustard does. I wish folk like that would find a different venue or hobby, but they do exist. And I do have to point out that the most practical costume for a typical short skirmish game of pretend soldiers is joggers and a couple of hi-caps in your pockets. Rentals are the only ones doing it right.

Aaahhhhh, nostalgia. I'd recognise a Mk3 Fiesta any day of the week, regardless of how badly any owner had buggered up the bodywork with "upgrades". My first car. L-reg 1.1 Finesse in Java Blue. No power steering, airbags or ABS, overhead valve HCS engine with a mighty 49hp at full chat. Bloody marvellous. Was like owning a classic car. I still miss it. Anyway... a million likes for the above post. Nail, Hammer, Head...

The thing is whether or not something looks good is personal. To use your example of cars, some might think this looks good but personally I think it looks like a polished turd Pick your kit based on what YOU like, not what others think is "cool". If others don't like your kit then that's their problem Yes we are. My point is that, when it comes to loadouts, the only person who's opinion matters is the person wearing it. Chasing likes on social media is going to leave you with an impractical loadout which will affect your enjoyment of the game

As you say above, you can get lots of likes but putting together a smart loadout and still be comfortable and not hate your life as soon you stop standing in the safe zone and step on to the actual field, 100% doable. I just wouldn't recommend any emulating of guys who are doing full on balls-out cosplay for photoshoots if you do actually want something that's good looking but is also genuinely practical. I also do disagree with your sentiment that practicality and efficiency are mutually exclusive to be honest. The main thing I'd say is, if you put on a PC and helmet then a ghillie jacket with hood, you'll have covered up 80% of the PC and helmet anyway and you'll sweat your tittays off, not to mention being slow, uncomfortable and getting snagged by both foliage and structures - ergo you won't actually look cool. Oh and the helmet will potentially snag inside the ghillie hood too and restrict your head. Personally I own one of these but I'd only wear it with a chest rig, if I go for PC and helmet it'll probably be for indoors and hence no fake trees on me. Just some experience I've gained having spent a fuck ton of money on gear over the past 15 years, as I always say how you wanna spend your cash is up to you.

And I believe the combat machines still use a geared hop up, compared to the specna's rotary hop up, which is just a better design. Its a small thing, but if you want to do something simple like change a hop rubber, you will be thankful for the rotary hop unit.

I enjoy deciphering your spammed emojis and YouTube videos

Hi @TheNotoriousLoki ? Welcome to the forum, full of advice and like minded players! ??? Good luck getting started, almost similar story! ?? Thanks @Shamal for the mention! ??? ?GAMBLE?

Welcome and hope you enjoy your first game. Do lots of reading in the forum to get as much info as possible before making purchases. It'll save you money in the long run and should make the experience even better.

Hi and welcome to the airsoft asylum ? I'm sure you will all have a blast at the courts in Bristol. Have you all got the essentials? Good quality eyepro and boots with ankle support and gloves( for the cold and protection from bb hits)cause it hurts like a mofo when pinkies get hit lol. Is it a cqb site? Cause full face pro is recommended. Any way enjoy yourselves and listen up in the briefing and above all call your hits!? You have plenty of time to check out @GAMBLEon this forum. He has a tube channel which you could benefit from taking a look at. Hints and tips and gear advice in abundance Regards

Well, this has arrived. Might not look like much but this is a nice 2x1m roll of EVA that marks the start of my sci fi armour project that I'll be working on over the next few weeks. It's my first experience of doing this, so it could go amazingly well, or feckin horribly catastrophically bungled. Either way it'll be fun. Going to do a build thread if anyone's interested.

Half done by Dave's Airsoft, half done by Supreme - defintiely recommend them to anyone wanting cerakoting done! Compared to Dave's he was extremely fast (turnaround was under a week I think), communicative and kept me up to date with pictures and I accidentally sent along the mag-release for my SCAR-H which got cerakoted red - I told him but he had already done it, but he stripped and re-did in black for free!

On my quest to pervert rare airsoft guns I present v1 of my JS9 build. v2 is currently printing, with a few small mods and a proper retention system. Ideally I will find a compatible SMG mag that is only as wide as a MP5 mag, but wider to do a proper QCW-05 or QCQ-05 build. If so I will redesign it to fit around said mag - the real Q-series uses a 5.8mm bullet that results in a longer mag (front to back).

I was trying to buy smallest possible torch with integrated grip to use on pistols. I found one made by UTG but nowhere to buy anythere outside US. So I decided to make my own. The hardest part was to find smallest possible torch with instant on light and highest possible lumens. The one I got is a size of AA battery and has real output of 650 lumens. Not bad for such tiny EDC torch. Next step was easy with bit of help from thingiverse and my limited cad skills I manage to produce this it's tiny c.8x6cm!! tested on the game day and was better than expected perfect pistol torch with grip
