New shooters belt from C2R. This is one solid belt! Yes they're expensive and probably OTT for airsoft (that's not a thing though, right?) but I'm massively impressed with it. Impeccable quality, great design and very low profile. Service was fast too. The inclusion of a sticker and card holder in MC Black was a nice touch.

As titled has landed at last , Dave’s custom have them in limited stock . https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/s-and-t-lee-enfield-no-1-mkiii-smle-spring-rifle-real-wood?search=S%26t lee enfield clip from YouTube , will you listen to the sound of it cycling ? Ooff suits you sir !

2 tone options!?!?!?!

Have to sort of agree and disagree on this , do agree the stupid ‘flappy’ hair triggers can be a pain in the butt at semi only games but I equally find that you have a similar problem when you have sites saying “short bursts” only . Example few yrs ago went to strike force CQB in Gloucester , first visit the rule was semi only and I thoroughly enjoyed it , yes you did have a few of the hair trigger brigade sticking 3,4 or even 5 shots in to you in the time you got 1 or possibly 2 shots off , but not a problem , BUT next time I went a couple of mths later rules had changed , apparently some of the players with bog standard AEG’s where complaining the HPA and high cycle boys had an unfair advantage(Don’t see this but who am I to say ?) SO they then allowing ‘short’ bursts to ‘even’ the gameplay ?????? which ment yes if you had a ‘normal’ AEG you’d get 3,4,5 shots off but the others where now getting 10,11,12 shots off in the same space of time ! now I don’t care how big and ‘ard’ you think you are or how much you crow on about “if you can’t take getting hit don’t play !” a 10+rd burst in CQB F…ing hurts and will piss you off if it happens continuously through out the day .

sadly it wouldn't surprise me now now, no need to be polite about it...... yep, they walk among us. hopefully not in this case.

A weak lemon drink?

To be fair to myself, in the 10 years I’ve played I’ve only once needed a spare gun.. and that was my own fault for taking one which I knew had a habit of not working! Believe me, I’ve got more than enough kit including a grab bag like the one you’ve mentioned which lives in my car. I’m optimistic that nothing will go wrong with the rifle, and if it does then I’ve only myself to blame ? they’ll have rentals anyway!

Same here, all packed tonight for first game of 22. Running light; M4, couple of hicaps, no secondary or rig/armour/tat etc. Forecast looks reasonable, 5C, lightish winds, no precip. Happy days.

To quote Sir Ranulph Fiennes "there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing"

Yeah take a backup. Enjoy your game tomorrow dude. Don't know where you are or but hope the weather holds. Its pissing down here in the south. Regards

Runs fine in mine and, apart from a SixG brass nub, it's completely stock internally. Be worth getting familiar with Impulse101 for original TM parts and investing in some of the known perishables; nozzle, nozzle return springs, mag lips, that sort of thing. Wouldn't worry about anything though really. Fire Support are great for spares too.

Can’t fault C2R, glad they are now freely selling their kit rather than having to pick it up as and when it appeared!

Patrolbase still have the "Two cans for a tenner" on ASG Ultrair - https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-ultrair-power-gas-520ml Probably the only reason I ever order from them!

@C-Diddy @SSPKali Thanks for the responses. Guess I'll just grab a shit ton of it to be sure. ?

My two custom builds are coming along nicely

I think that the issue often encountered at a site is not necessarily the high rate of fire (yes, you HPA spammer) but the general poor attitude of overshooting. BBs are cheap so why shoot a few aimed shots when you can spam dozens of BBs down range, spray and pray fashion. There are definitely players who can see their BB strike the target but still keep shooting regardless, and they could be on a stag do, a site regular, a multi-glammer, chav, or experienced player who should know better. If you put enough plastic on someone they will eventually call the hit. Mainly playing CQB, high rate of fire is more noticeable due to the close proximity and limited distance between players. I prefer to just use heavy BBs and shoot less of them.

Just buy what's technically known as, a shit-ton of gas. It'll get used.

I've been after a super blackhawk for a while and finally got one at a none ridiculous price.

Sensible to wait. And three extra mags? Do I smell a Fire Support deal? That's where I got mine from...with the three extra mags. And don't worry about getting the front sight off. They come off just fine. I'd always advise a two-point sling as they're more versatile. Much easier to sling your weapon on your back or get it tight to your body. They also won't nail you in the nuts if you drop your rifle to go to your pistol! That's just my opinion though and it depend on your playing style. Something like the Magpul MS3 sling can switch from a two point to a one point, so that may be an option?

Mate, I bought my missus a Cricut for Christmas and have used it more than her ?

Bribed my mrs to knock me up a few SAI logo stickers on her Cricut machine What would take me days to figure out, she can knock up in a few minutes! Cant believe I’m so chuffed with a couple of decals for my pistol case ?

I very nearly went for the MK18 myself, but after chatting to a few folk in this thread, went for the CQB-R instead, purely for the nause that handguard looks to remove. Have you ordered the barrel nut tool? I've got a G&P MK18 rail, which looks class, and a Geissele MK16 rail from HAO, which is on at the moment. The third party support for the MWS is huge, which is great as you don't need to be a slave to one look...just your bank balance. Hit up @Davegolffor the brass nub, but the MWS is great as is, so don't worry if you have to wait a while for one. Just make sure you use decent ammo, get some spare mags if you can, and if you haven't got one already, a TM XL speed-loader is recommended as mags can be a bitch to load at first. Oh, and don't skimp on a sling. Ferro Slingster, Blue Force Gear VCAS, Magpul and the like are where you want to be, not 8 Fields or Viper!

Absolutely can't fault it. I recently sprung for a bunch of fresh gear, amongst which is a Raptor Odin MkIV belt. Don't regret a single penny. Definitely not OTT for airsoft, its a hobby you clearly love, so if you can afford it, go for it.

Mk23 upgrades from Hadron. Had some issues fitting and getting the trigger to release. Got a call from Hadron an hour after I messaged, and gave me the time to talk through the possible causes. Great support and I'll be buying more from.

Already here. Advantage of the SMLE is that the Aussie and Ishapore factories only ever made SMLEs, and they remained on issue in WWII, so you can do either 14-19 or 39-45.

So your taking a pc but no backup, that's arse about face mate, if you've got one you always take a spare gat, nothing spoils a gameday than no gun lol. Decent clothing to cope with whatever the weather throws at you is the next essential. As for load carrying equipment, invest in a manbag/grab bag, ideally small one with 3 mag pouches on exterior & room inside for a nalgene bottle (h2o or weak squash), & sugary snack of your choice, you'll find that kinda setup so liberating, I've got a ton of rigs, but Tbh most of the gucciness is totally unnecessary (the gear queers just choked on their tea & biccies?).

Cheers! I’m in the East, temperature should be above freezing and little chance of rain apparently, so we shall see!

Yep. CBAV PC is on the wishlist next.

Packed my kit for the first skirmish of the year tomorrow! Am I tempting fate by only taking the recoil and no spares? ? Decided to pack light so I’ve got the rifle, plate carrier and a rucksack. No pistol as I reckon it’ll be too cold.

In a similar vein.... I bought my mother in law a nice chair for Christmas. Wife won't let me plug it in though! ? Regards

Just had a bit of a row with my wife. She reckons I'm terrible at fixing electrical appliances. She's in for a shock later!

Not sure if it's the same but here are a couple of phots of the label

Bulk buy if you can. More cost effective. Fire Support are decent on ASG UltraAir but they are smaller cans. Zero One Pro gas is around £40 for six 700ml cans and is basically Abbey Predator Ultra gas.

It's a law tactical copy off of AliExpress. I had to print an adapter to make it fit right though.

Hi @Oakesy? Welcome to the madhouse. Have a look on 'playairsoft.uk' Lots of sites listed with details and locations. Hope you find one nearby. Regards ?

Funnily enough, strikeforce is one of the sites I frequent more often, though not exactly local to me. I remember the 'burst' rule being implemented. Personally, I've had no negative experiences directly related to this, and the only time that I can recall any issues is when a marshal/player threw his toys out of the pram because someone burst fired him in the neck. Even had a rant about it to everyone at lunch. I was more amused by this than pissed off. Rather looking forward to going on Sunday. Maybe I'll get hosed in the face and will come back here with a completely different opinion.

Again, wrong section of the forums, take 10 minutes to read the rules & repost in "electric rifles"

LOL, my first ever game was at Electrowerkz, you'd think after that I'd have had the sense to walk away & find a hobby less painful hobby......... 21 years later I'm still here ? After Electrowerkz went did you try Janno's Lewisham site, equally small & exceptionally painful, took a burst up the inner thigh & across the nuts point blank there, had to take a moment to compose myself lol??

I have never counted but have never used a full can in even the longest game day! I guess weighing a mag before and after filling / weighing a full and empty can of gas would allow you to work it out. As I get ~100 shots from one gas fill of 10-12s I simply charge at the start of the day then top off at lunch. Make sure you fill them with 1-2s blast then wait then another 1-2s, repeat until full.

I agree it is a sickening result, due to the sites being all pussy now and demanding more and more single fire Back when we ran AEGs, carrying 6-9 Hicaps, 9.6v 3300a batteries and 20k of spare bbs in your backpack.. (Just incase.) It was never an issue Make full auto great again!

I think musician Peter Gabriel is secretly an airsofter. The give away is a verse from Games without Frontiers "Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue (usual armband colours) They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu (Lin didn't get any of the objectives) Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names" (Sounds like a typical Sunday skirmish)

no, can still see his fingers..... this, voting with your feet works great but only when there's competition to go to.

Generic M4, Section 5 prohibited firearm, lost the M90 spring, doesn't come with the parts shown, lower specced than the Edge series, £30-£60 more than full retail. But it's beige.

Hi all Just getting used to how the forum works with message limits and rules etc, please bear with me if i have not replied to your message. Cheers

Classiest Vector I have seen, simple build and the green suits it well ?

'This could be a good start to a Kyber pass style AK build, but only for the advanced tech, since the gearbox is completely dead.' Translation: 'It's so fucked that you could build an authentic looking fucked up rifle from it, but only if you know what you're doing.'

I had this plan to put perforated fake plates in a Crye mairitime JPC to make the holy grail of PC that actually wouldn't be very hot/sweaty in summer, so I bought some hollow plastic medium SAPI dummies aaaaages ago and through sheer fuckin laziness I never got around to doing what I wanted with them until this week. Tried just using a knife and mk1 hand first but being about 4mm thick and 'sticky' when cutting I could tell I was going to lose a finger if I proceeded, so I swapped to a holesaw + electric drill. End result has the solid edges/outline needed to fill out any PC and looks exactly like a proper plate when inserted, but it weighs almost nothing and has just enough rigidity in the middle to support everything. I'm already working on a connect-4 meme never fear.

Unfortunately yes it is available !? Unfortunately no it won’t over the years I’ve seen plenty of 2-tone TM recoils AND even seen in the classified on this very forum an L1A1 with a full wood upgrade kit for sale that was puss green ! ??
