  1. EFA. I mean, unless you're a liar.
  2. Good spot. 530fps @ 0.2g is 2.6J, which means that's an air rifle, not an airsoft gun. Does it matter? Well, I could get 2 years in gaol for purchasing or owning that.
  3. About to die for the Emperor (or be TK'd by @Musica) in 3... 2... (References: https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Astra_Militarum )
  4. For a few shots, maybe. Of course, that's your, uh, "warranty" voided right there. Dreamer confirmed.
  5. Put it in your basket, wait 24 hours, for those not in the know. I don't know if the other BBgunz4u style sellers do similar, but it would be worth a try.
  6. http://www.patrolbase.co.uk is the default suggestion for reasonable priced stuff with few junk options. If you know exactly what you're after, and why, and are prepared to be patient to get the secret discount codes, the "BB" retailers can be (just slightly) cheaper choices. But if any of those don't apply, avoid.
  7. Off topic is the best topic. First, I didn't know that there was a "real" Odin when I got my knock off, I just heard about these magic "side winder" loaders, and ordered by cheapest on eBay. Brand recognition and marketing is Odin's to buy, or not. Second, well, yes, I am too cheap to pay £50 for an Odin loader. Really, no way, no how. Odin wasn't getting my money anyway. Likewise, TM didn't lose out because I bought a CYMA. If the cheapest toy gnus were £400, I'd never have got into this hobby in the first place.
  8. I have a tan knock-off.
  9. Asks that. Consider whether the "seller" really wants to shift it, or whether they're just doing it for form's sake. They're not magic, offer half the new price. Or just buy a CYMA and outrange them.
  10. Sure, if you cheap out on TM plastic crap, what do you expect?
  11. Yes, I "helpfully" linked to the retail items. It does come with an extra clipazine, I guess, and is only slightly scuffed.
  12. 422 words invented by Shakespeare: https://www.litcharts.com/blog/shakespeare/words-shakespeare-invented/ Including "pedant".
  13. Shot with an HPA pistol. It's OK, it'll be "tourney locked".
  14. We're ideally looking for something like this:
  15. Aww, bless, has be been trying to flog that since last June? To be fair, the externals and shell might be Well, but all the BB cares about at the bits that he's changed. No TDC though, so not "fully" upgraded, I'd argue. And I imagine it'll still be up by this June unless he puts a 2 at the start of that asking price.
  16. That's my recollection too. The original purchasers got absolutely rinsed. But that's no reason that someone in the market for one now should pay anywhere near current retail, unless you really reeeeeally have to have one right now. Looks like the next batch won't be shipped (from Austria) before May.
  17. Eh. Anything that's wrong with a pistol is likely to cost you less to replace the part than to post it back to Poland and wait 3 or 4 weeks in the hope that they might sort it.
  18. This is why I always keep a PornHub tab open so that I don't get caught reading about airsoft.
  19. Batteries, mags, foregrip, optic (not listed as included). None of which explains why it's £160 more than a brand new one. William, please understand that the retail price isn't what you paid for it, or the highest price that you can find. It's the lowest current price, which is indeed ~£210. And that's new. Used, you can knock a third off of that. That's if you actually want to sell it. If you don't, that's good too. Lots of folk list stuff that they don't really want to part with.
  20. The guy selling them out of a suitcase on the beach assured me...
  21. ^^^ BLOCKED AND REPORTED.
  22. I'll round your 2p up to a whole 5p. Very well noted.
  23. Mrs B forgot to buy D cells for Miss Borg's robot arm kit, so I spent a happy hour diking[1] and soldering[2] a 7 cell nimh crane stock battery down to 5 cells /~6V, then crocodile-clipped it in to power it up.

     

    Needless to say: BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.

      Ah.. Still cool though!
      I was asking cos my daughter has weak arms due to her disability, so robo augmentation would be awesome!

       

  24. First time I've quit half way through the day.

     

    No shout for chrono opening, a rambling, incomplete briefing that left newcomers baffled, "10 minute" breaks that dragged on for half an hour while the marshals yakked it up in their office, then to top it off, getting shouted at because the chief marshal had forgotten where he'd said the spawn points would be, and blamed the players.

     

    Given that lunch would doubtless have dragged on for 90 minutes or more, I wasn't minded to hang around for more of the same.

     

    Shame, as the actual play was fine, there just wasn't enough of it.

      I asked a question before in the brief and was told it was already covered instead of having it answered. Then it turns out they didn't cover it and both teams are stacked at a stairwell because no one knew who was up or down. 

       

      Was the chief marshal the young boy? 

       

      Problem with the Depot safe area is that it's too good so everyone sits down and wants to be "last out" to get maximum arse on chair time before the games. I too wish for less down time more pew time. No one needs more than 10 minutes between games in the safe zone.

       

      Going to try Biohazard out this month hopefully. You maybe should give it a bash too.

      Yup, the Depot.  It's generally fine, but it very much depends on who's running the day.

       

      I'll be positive and say that when Baz is running it, he does a great briefing that sets us up for a fun day, and generally keeps it rolling along nicely.

       

      Baz wasn't running it yesterday though.

      Sites need feedback like this though. On X day it was awful and as long as you can give constructive reasons then they should take note of this. Also by the same action, positive feedback should always be given where due.

       

      If you weren't a level headed individual you could have come on here, really blown off about it and discoloured lots of other peoples opinions and given them really bad press.
