remus

so this is how far ive gotten the black load out up to. pistol got a fair bit of use this week...

just got a black assault vest second had off a mate, still deciding where to put the pouches....

bought a second hand aug to play around with (tommy is a pain to dismantle etc) and hopefully maby upgrade etc. already done most of the exterior work im gonna do to it(need a sling hook though...) anyway pics before and after....

think i might have better luck just going for the writer, lol. was funny, one of the other extras asked will being in the show spoil the story line for him.... despite the size of the costume department i couldn't get him a medal, lol...

just back from 10 days in london in brilliant weather, get a text asking me to be an extra in game of thrones.... going for costume fitting tomorrow... might mean i have to cut out airsoft for a while to prevent any unseemly marks etc but i can live with that tbh... so fars looking like my best ever summer....

im surprised i haven't came across civil war era airsoft rifle variants... once held (and accidentally broke) a 1 cal pistol(and yea i mean 1 cal, not .1....) from that era. would imagine would be good idea for those whom like to rein-act...

apparently due to security thingstoday i cant post some pictures... (anyone else in norn iron getting this problem?) yet somehow this one does work so my current wet weather loadout...

looks grand(better than mine tbh) would reccommend looking at something to protect your mouth as getting your teeth shot out isnt nice i hear, despite face protection not really fitting with the look you are aiming for... (specially in cqb where your usually getting near full force....)

yea something to shoot at!(will be put in the lands of my scarecrow target, lol....

nah not for the door, for when the zombie has you cornered in your room if whomever you share the room with dosent allow you to keep firearms in the room. course being in the country im in i have a couple of bats etc around my bed...lol. see the opening of the zombie movie where they are at the mall, well i mean the 'remake' the kid in the bedroom scene.... after that throw it away and get something better of course...

dude no, you buy a farm/ old factory complex /abandoned fairground and turn it into the most awesome airsoft site in the world(one that breaks even at least so it dosent go under eventually...), pfft ferrari....then buy everyone on this forum an awesome gun/ give us free days play etc.... and give the mrs a personal spa or something so she lets you do it.... lol. and ed, sorry no offence intended i just like to think things through, as i said im thinking of doing some zombie things(probably one of those plans that never happens....) so just like ideas.... also one of these could well be quite handy fo the hypothetical apocalypse... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=anti+zombie+table&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=_niwUe7bHeaX1AWG64GgAg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1241&bih=567#facrc=_&imgrc=JwafGzs2fIX-rM%3A%3BS8ZkTXrDJwdzTM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn0.lostateminor.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2010%252F04%252FAnti-Zombie-Night-Table.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.lostateminor.com%252F2010%252F04%252F28%252Fanti-zombie-night-table%252F%3B480%3B465

think what you are looking for is a bottle neck that dosent restrict your movement. also by the movements your planing, (stab through the head, surely a spear/halbard would be of a better design for your plan? course im just not a fan of trying to hold out like that against zombies, never works in the movies/games/tv shows etither, they always get bogged down eventually. either get behind some really thick walls, or move around, taking out the isolated ones as safely as possible... unless that door has a remote and will smash through zombies when closed so you can recover when you get eventually tired. im no saying you wont get through 10+ zombies your way, just you will have your limit, as would even a trained swordsman... just dont know the rest of you plan? blaze of glory, taking as many as possible, distraction for others etc. not that its a bad plan, a bad plan is like the camper they found in the walking dead whom hung himself to prevent becommig a zombie, died became a hung zombie.... yours may well have merrit, infact if i ever get round to making a zombie movie/comic it could well be one of the examples i use at some point... also by no means anywhere near as good as a katana but this is probably what i would run with in zombieland,(probably just the head though, depending...

any sword could kill the problem being to kill many. if zombies come one by one no pushing and shoving flip you could do it with a screwdriver. infact i dont think many of us would worry as much about the zombie apoc if thats all they are capable of. its when they pack tight in large numbers all coming through your door at once, attracting and ever increasing number of zombies that it becomes a bad tactic. course in that case lock the door, use you katanna to futher bar the door and look for a way out safely.... and if all your doing is hacking and slashing, most other melee weapons could do the same/ similar thing better. have to say im glad noone has mentioned a chainsaw yet....

yup and blades wear down alot quicker than people want to believe. bone has a bad effect on swords. and it will ikely eventually catch/slip out of hands thanks to blood and guts and gore. also its effectiveness is at slashing, most zombie things require destruction of brains( in the walking dead they at one point cut a zombies head off but it dosent actually kill it. similar in some others to my knowledge....

part of why id like to try blacksmithing and give making one a go. would likely be worse but would still love to try...

specially in a doorway where you lave limited swings due to space and the boddys start stacking up around you making it more difficult....

tis true, i go for my baseball bat first even with what training i have.... course a machette would make a good backup...

as said it depends on the zombies the senario is based on, some thories of eyes being pale because of decay means reduced vision etc so they use a mix of senses. and that generally a zombie itself is not a threat its the injuries that cause the infection to spread and zombie hordes that are the real threat, and if theres alot of zombies good luck shooting them all in the eyes(if it even works at said point. if theres only one /2 the thory is melee weapons ftw, if theres lots run...(use guns to clear escape paths/ rescue) but as said depends on the zombie base...

yea i wouldnt bother unless i had one trappped and was bored... would go for my crossbow/bow/ dads shotguns/ baseball bats/scythes etc....

a newish car, ok you may say not airsoft but it brings me to airsoft:P

yea the main problem of underslinging it is that. and no im not actualy going to do it, not worth ruining my only aeg much as i think it would be cool...

....now im definitely regretting not buying a second tommy when they were on offer, damm you!!!...

if you can scrounge enough up for the duece, you are essientially buying 2 solos, the 2 barrels, 2 gas cartridges etc, and yea the double fire... course if your doing underslung then its meh. (though tripple barrel threat....) if i had cash to splash and could afford to ruin the tommy id love to join it up to the front grip so the handels merge into one... something like this...

rather than putting anymore into this thread on the goblin i made a topic/review for it located here>http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/15641-the-goblin-experience/

For those who havent came across it yet, linky...http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-pistols/patrol-base-airsoft-goblin-solo-green.htm anyway as a form of review/blog on my experience with my goblin solothought this was the best place to share as its somewhat different to most airsoft weapons. and whilst in the other thread i can see people are interested but unsure of it, what better way for it than a living blogg thing...(anyone else has used it came accross it please add thoughts, and others with questions voice them too!) so what do you get... simple packaging, no fancy box art to sell it, the item does all the work. the keen eyed will notice that thisnt just an airsoft weapon, its also a paintball pistol. so if you do both sports, even better. wouldnt rush out to buy it for paintball though, as a single shot pistol in paintball is... so contents include; the goblin solo 3 bb holder shells(each holds 12 rounds(this is where the paintball version differs, their shells hold 1 paintball) a holster than holds the solo and 2 additional shells 1 gas cartridge (the only thing i have to say i dislike, need more!!!) spare rubber rings(various sizes) a c02 connector and no that dosent mean it runs on co2, it means co2 is one of the gases this can be run on! advertised as being able to run this on c02, propane red or even green gass(they advise co2 most though) so if you dont want to carry around a second can to reload it you dont have to just match it to your sidearm(hence why im trying to run mine on green gas) as for why you want it for airsoft, well its shells hold up to and fire up to 12 rounds(further explanation below) just like a proper airsoft shotgun should, or like all those airsoft grenade launchers do(which still annoys me...) so at last a reasonable room clearance weapon.( though unrealistic for those airsoft puritans who will only touch realistic guns as no shot gun is this small but hey, dems the breaks..) its also so small and straps onto your gear molle style. and weight, plastic for the most part so negligible the fact you can run it off what gas you are using for the secondary makes it a feasible addition if you are running something using one of the listed gases, though if your not i wouldnt bother... how to use? simple load gas to the cartridge, making sure its in the right place and tight before filling(sounds simple but not always)also careful when removing whatever you used to fill the cartridge as pulling to and can mover it enough to let the gas out, put a shell holder loaded with bbs over it load into pistol, close pistol, press palm safety, pull trigger and bang bb splattered target(dont even need to aim, wont do much good....) now thats the normal sort of stuff out of the way now range,,, not that far. your pistol will fire further! pointless to get it that far, tis not what its for. its best for room clearance clusters of people at short range. however you want to make sure it reaches them. and as a result for once i recommend .12 for it. why? your not worrying about range and accuracy, and you have essentially 4 barrels. even with .2s im getting not all the rounds to come out because i cant with green gas get enough power behind the pellets. this is one way to mitigate that. on my test firings ive decided im definitely using my .12s for this as i have no other use for them and it seems to work( will report if i have other findings on this...) also make sure you hav filled the cartridge fully, no point not getting the right spread because you didn't put enough gas in(watched a vid on you tube where they were recommending to time your gas infut so you could control the range... good luck doing that but it will make a difference, even with the 2 seconds it takes to fill) also a quick trial with propane, far more effective, yet the from the cold it seemed to suffer tightening up alot, meant it took a while before i could get it to fire again. again i will post/add any experiment with the other gasses as i get access to them. another line of thought for this is, it takes up to 12 pellets, whilst initially i want all 12 for maximum kill, if you want more range, taking it down to 8(2 per barrel ought to give you more power to the rest of the pellets. something intend to try out a few times however i want this gun for its spread not power so i wont be testing this theory ott... in game results; first game day, mixed results. only fired it three times. mistook the range first shot, but scared him enough that he went to re-spawn killed me at the same time though) second shot, cleared a corridor of 2 guys, crapped them selves, earned its day play doing that, no way i could have got them both otherwise. third shot, pistol ran out, so it was a last ditch thing guy ran past me in corridor missed. think with the .12s difference to range would have made all 3 hits. (and for interest sake the site i play on is mostly cqb) game day 2, pistol problems so didnt bring it nor the gas so only carryied the one shot , and was far better with the .12s was actually in the same building as before that i got the 2 kills. also at end of day i let one of the other guys try it(one that loves shotguns and short range fights) and he loved it and wants one too now. ima gonna start a craze:) my rating, worth it if you are already carrying gas for a pistol or some such, good combo for cqb, potential for being a masterkey. light weight, more fun than practical though, but cheap enough for £40. 8/10 would buy again(will add to this rating as my opinion changes over time...) if i had the money id go for the goblin duo instead though, double barrel= double the fun!!!
