I walked into B&Q the other day and a guy came up to me and asked me if I wanted decking. Luckily I got the first punch in and that was that, but it just goes to show you should never let your guard down.

Seen this super cheap and could not pass it up ?

Charcoal or GTFO! ?

Back when Smith&Wesson made Glocks until Glock said you can’t do that anymore

Here's a 21st Century one... What do you call an IT teacher who touches up his students? A PDF file

Never mind the grill. Look at the brickwork. Who does bucket handle pointing these days....?

Uncle Bob is completely bald, but still carries a comb with him. He just can't part with it...

Problem with TAG rounds is there a brilliant bit of kit UNTIL the human factor gets involved , I’ve only used them once or twice as I’m too much of a tight arse and won’t spend that much on something that goes bang only once so not a problem for me but then you have my mate who’s a fair bit more financially stable than me and absolutely loves them and will use them at every opportunity he has but because he’s ex-forces and was a small arms instructor he can be trusted with them , the way he can sling them down range AND how accurately he can is at times positively scary ! BUT he has the previous training and good sense how to use them properly and safely so he’s no danger , and that’s the giant difference between him and most other players using them , he understands the dangers and can asses wether they can be used safely or not , and if he thinks not then he won’t fire where as a lot will say “f**k it I’ve spent all this money on them I’m using them !” simple as that .

A quick grammar lesson for a few of you on here. A colon can completely change the meaning of a sentence. For example: Jane ate her friend’s lunch. Jane ate her friend’s colon.?

While I'm a fan of all things that go boom, I can see these being misused and someone getting hurt. I'd limit them to milsims, filmsims and special scenarios where their use can be controlled

I don't need to talk to you, I already know your a twat, talking to you won't change my opinion. As you've pointed out earlier, times have changed & you need to be able to "defend your space & get the first strike in" , or some other bollocks. As for threats, yep, hold my hands up, Internet or not, you insult me, repeatedly, then I will respond, as for hurting people, I used to do it for a living, & I did it in a professional sporting capacity, & occasionally for special cases I did it for fun, so your threats are like water off a ducks back to me (that's an old saying that us geriatrics use?). But fill yer boots, your overconfidence, along with your big mouth, will get you in all sorts of shit, which I'm sure you can deal with with your 25 years life experience ?.

Your so funny, not lol, my duff reference is aimed at the members who've been here a while, Duff was like you, an ignorant wanker with a big mouth, but I'll give him his due, when he got called out he didn't go all pussy & make out he's just trolling. Your a speshul kinda wanker, probably an incel too, so keep chucking out the insults you sad pathetic fuck wit, especially the ones about 50+ members, because your so much more knowledgeable than people with twice the life experiences than you, ffs your a joke. But no ones laughing. Me personally, I help care for a relative who's got dementia, so your were already on my shit list with your ignorant comments & pathetic insults. Hopefully I'll see you on a site sometime, we'll test your theories lol.

Internet warriors are mint.

Why do these posts always attract the internet hard men like flies to a pile of horse shit?

bit of a clone mash up of eras but I like it

Finally part of the gbbr gang Torch is mounted like that as it wont fit on any of the side rails due to the front end being chonky.

Dynatex bfg used to use 12g cartridges. Whatever they used, the kid had black burns radiating from the middle of his chest outwards. He had to go to hospital to get looked at.

I was a Marshall at ground zero when a freak accident happened; a young lad had a 12g bfg land down his draw vest. Many years ago. It exploded and he suffered powder burns to his chest. It wasn’t funny. It was a freak accident which led to 12g being banned across the country believe. Now I love 12g, still gutted you can’t use them anymore but I do understand why they were banned. Imagine if he was blinded.

I dunno, that sounds like a half baked idea.

If its a newish gun or spring then before cutting it down I would try 'scragging' it first. This basically involves keeping the spring compressed for a day or so. Basically simulating a few months of wear. In theory if the spring was properly tempered this would make little difference (it doesn't with a quality airgun spring), but in practice most airsoft springs seem to be not 100% tempered so this might well bring it under the limit. Worked for me the other day when I fitted a new aeg spring. I had to use a long bolt, nut and washers, but you could just leave the gun cooked for a day or two.

usually the rhop is best avoided given there aren't many places can do them properly. that said, umbrella are one of the ones that i thought could do it properly. assuming no potential for a qc defect (eg patch coming loose) then there's a couple of things might be worth thinking about: 1. they seem to taylor more to an american audience, so might be the compounds they're using aren't ideally suited to 1j and cold weather 2. lower fps could be from a bore obstruction, but it could also be (and tbh is more likely) a leak between the nozzle and hop. did it come with o-rings around the barrel? if not then you might want to try adding some to get the hop spaced onto the barrel (does secondary duty of reducing reciever wobble), should be enough to make the front body pin a tight fit but not overly so. 3. the quality of seal within the gearbox remains a factor, and can have a much bigger impact than the hop/barrel combo when it comes to consistency. 4. and i only mention this because it's a sneaky one, but make sure when you're setting the hop you start with it off and turn up, not the other way around. reason being is you can sometimes get 2 "sweet spots" with the second being at a much reduced energy level yet overspun so much the round can still fly.

you say that, i did once have a duel with a chap who was running 0.2's from a bolty outdoors. problem was it was a flat 1j field and that happened to be the day i felt like running the .48's. so when i say duel, it was kinda one-sided....

@Spartan09ha ha , nothing more than my god given ability to throw things a lot further than most other people can , the opposition assumed we had something mechanical launching ball grenades so a Marshall was sent to investigate , he laughed when he saw it was just me and a big box of pyro , called it in but alas the other team said it was cheating so I was removed it was something like a 60+ kill streak I had going on lol . goodtimes and good fun .

It's sad that some woodland sites are still even talking in terms of 0.2g when nobody, literally nobody, is going to be shooting those from a bolt action sniper. Any site that's actually chronoing snipers using 0.2g is gagging for them to creep over 2.5J with realistic ammo. Rant aside, yes, OP is a bit over, but kudos for chronoing on 0.32g and talking in Joules. Is that with the hop set for 0.32g, or with it off? Opinions vary, especially when we're talking about legal limits (what the gun is capable of), but I also chrono with the hop set for the ammo, and I've never played at a site that requires chronoing with hop off. It's easy enough to cut a spring. You're not far over, so I'd go one coil at a time, as heating and flattening the end also knocks a bit off.

The practical issue is that accidentally smacking Pop-Up Paddy in the face with a BB, even a 2.3J 0.5g BB, is significantly less harmful than yeeting 12J of explosive into his earball. There was an image going around of a chap who'd taken a TAG to the face at some Murcan milsim: it had wrecked his goggles and he was streaming with blood. It won't happen until it happens, at which point everybody will instantly develop 20:20 hindsight about how inevitable it was.

This. For every person that can use them sensibly there's always at least one idiot who'll do something dumb

meanwhile, somewhere in Austria...... super duper engineer :ponders to himself....'man , I wish I could make something like that...'. "hey, We could use that as our USP on the new ssx3000sTi." nov :"ya, but don't you think it'll get annoying and have no real advantage over any normal pistol?" nov marketing : "chris, the memes gone viral and has over 30.5M views and shares and has comments like 'this is so cool', it has legs and WILL make you more money and make you even more COOL" nov: "well what the f**k are you waiting for?" disclaimer : light hearted fun. I own a lot of novritsch products (incl RIF'S) and I cannot fault any of them.

Yeah, I’m not a cave man and I do not have the patience to start a fire! Lol

Well, that's the comment I anticipated above. People can and do pop out from cover, or run right into incoming projectiles. Unless he has x-ray vision and precognition, he can only be as accurate as reality allows.

Is that a....gas grill?

A few year later glad I bought this for my TM SCAR H. The launcher now awaits tag rounds..fire in the hole! It is not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m the one carrying it!

That's my issue with them as well. TAG rounds are so far beyond anything else that we use that I'm baffled as to how a properly informed insurer would indemnify a site. Given the masses, muzzle velocities and ranges claimed, they're barely within UK air-gun power levels, which is a particular issue in Scotland. Something something pyrotechnic something, but there are also solid rounds, right? The bangs are earball-hurty even outdoors, and given the ranges and time to target, any claims of precision have to be qualified with "at the time when you launch, not when it lands". They were fun when I saw and heard them used (at a distance) at a filmsim. But they were used only by the organisers, and essentially non-competitively for theatrical effect. Being aimed at people by J. Random Airsofter, that's another thing altogether. We've seen the injuries these thing can cause, right? Smashed eyepro, and significant tissue damage. They seem like something which will only be allowed until its banned, and it'll be a safety rule written in some poor sod's blood.

I'm a fan of pyro, I like shit that goes bang. The bit I don't quite get though is when a site says you can use paper pyro up to MK5 but TAG rounds are also fine. The original blurb for Reapers suggest that they are closer to a MK9 and having had a few land near me (at Red Alert), I could easily believe it.

What would Ronnie Pickering do?

On an unrelated note, for some reason i find myself reminded of the phrase "playing chess with pidgeons"

I am infectious ? Reforger allow them.

Yep; you are. Like most stupid cunts, you are too thick to realise that you are a stupid cunt.

@Mr. No_Face you are a boring cunt

You are a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. Keep it going; you are rather entertaining.

I may not be in full possession of my faculties but I can spell dementia and know difference between site and sight.

Both weenies. HPA person needs to chill with the trigger. Gear guy needs to chill out.

Perhaps you should fuck off to somewhere else then; watching Bruce Lee movies does not make you the hard man you think you are, unless you have a mancrush on Bruce, but that is the wrong kind of hard.

I feel like I'm getting left out of the name calling and verbal onslaughts of Mr no_faith so just like to say piss off you fecking spanner. Don't think I will bother with your stay alive video. Ive had plenty of action in my time and I'm still in one piece ? Love and kisses ?

This 50+ old cnut is quite literally lost for words, just when you think you've seen it all, along comes an Internet warrior whose extreme ignorance is only surpassed by his stupidity. Usually I'd counter with some lighthearted memes, but there's nothing that even comes close to this level of bollocks. All I will say is look around, admire anybody over 50, because with your shit eating attitude, you ain't ever gonna reach it lol ?

Close the gap, get back. Attack!!!!!!

pre-emptive defense sounds like a great way to get you kicked off site, and it will be justified.

Inspired by the Springfield V12s, I present the Detonics... V6? This is eventually going to be mocked up (with further inspiration from Marui’s Vorpal Bunny) with smoothed grips, a front rail, and a battleship grey paintjob. It is an ARMY R45 with an ACM Shield RMS, a Nova trigger, and Shooters Design 150% recoil springs. Not pictured yet are the Army extended magazine release and modified grips, which have been filled with putty in readiness for relief cuts and sanded smooth. Milling the slide and the adaptor plate allowed me to sink the optic 3.5mm into the slide. This actually lower-third-cowitnesses with the factory sights, somehow. Custom milled and drilled slide and barrel ports. The ARMY’s outer barrel is stainless steel and broke one of my milling bits. Lesson learned about using them to drill holes... Total cost so far: ~£120

Nah that's not heavy, try using a real steel mg42 like a sniper, I think I had to have a nap afterwards ?

Made me chuckle? & scared in equal measures?
