  1. Cool; it should work then!
  2. Perun have assured me that it will work; I was mostly concerned about the limited selector switch travel but, having had the gearbox out, I think that the selector plate travel is ok.
  3. Has anyone here fitted a Perun Hybrid V2 in a Classic Army Scar or know of it being done successfully?
  4. Everyone needs an LR300 in their life, although not with a carry handle.
  5. After an utter debacle last Sunday, when I spent most of the day attempting to fix the lad's new G36K so that he could use it before returning to the urban wasteland that is Stoke, I was supposed to be at a private invitation game at Airsoft Plantation today. Unfortunately, they had to cancel it, so I fitted a Perun Hybrid to my new JG FN FAL instead. Unfortunately, I cannot make the rearranged date as I am going to "tanz mit Laibach" the night before and will not be in any state to get up early the next morning.
  6. Happy early birthday to it! It is an interesting piece of kit.
  7. Thank you; I read your report at the time but had forgotten about it. There does seem to be a dearth of good sites in the area, which is probably true of most parts of the UK.
  8. I think there is a problem of definitions as to what is, or is not, a futures trader. The short sterling future market is about betting on short term interest rates, not exchange rates.
  9. Welcome to the hobby; playing with your kids is great. Mine started when they were 10 and 12; the eldest gave up years ago but the youngest still plays regularly when he is down from university. Well done on buying a sensible first gun; play with it a few times to see what you think needs improving (range, accuracy, rate of fire, trigger response etc) and then start looking at upgrades. The Advice and Technical Help section of the forum is a great place to get advice and guidance on upgrades from some very knowledgeable folk. One thing I would recommend if you do not already have them is a good pair of solid boots that support your ankles; surplus boots are excellent for this and quite cheap. As for a pistol, I would highly recommend the CO2 powered ASG XP18 commander. My son and I have been using them for a while and have found them to be solid, reliable and consistent; CO2 is also more reliable than airsoft gas in cold weather, although they struggled at -6 degrees a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy this silly hobby!
  10. Which is probably a good thing for them.
  11. You should not be allowed anywhere near an airsoft field; you encapsulate everything that is bad about this hobby. I am not fighting fire with fire; I am calling this person what they are. Anyone who sets out to run a gun 50fps over site limits and is happy to cheat the chrono is an utter cunt who has no place in this hobby, regardless of of their gender or where they live.
  12. Thanks to very high winds, I once shot a guy that I couldn't even see. I took a shot at someone, the BBs went off at an angle partway through the flight and whizzed around a barricade, hitting the chap behind it. Of course, it was intended. Are they very little ones or do you just do a lot of shooting?
  13. Lay in stores and batten down the hatches.
  14. Sadly, I think this is the case. The issue where D&A operate has been going on for ages; Doomsday, who used to be there, had to shut because the landowner had breached planning regulations.
  15. If you are going to play with a gun that you know to be hot by 50fps, that makes you an utter cunt.
  16. As they have gone into administration, you would have to contact the administrator. However, you have very little chance of getting your money back.
  17. His LinkedIn page is somewhat confusing on that topic.
  18. That seems to be the same issue that killed Doomsday.
  19. Nicco di Piazza is/was James Bailey’s sidekick, with a back story that has wobbled a time or two.
  20. Kingdom seems to get very low numbers and frequently cancels for that reason. Also, having encountered the guy that runs it in his shop, I have no intention of playing at a site that he runs. As for Anzio, it is a great site but, on the day that we were there, the game design was awful and the marshaling was poor.
  21. Mr Bailey plays at Phoenix near Nottingham; this one is near Warrington.
  22. That is a different site, although I would welcome another opportunity to meet Mr Bailey. Aye, that might be a possibility; has anyone on here played there?
