Any one else know anything about them as can find anything . Not even well pro socials ?? Are these new / pre release ???

That is an immense simplification of a far more nuanced and complex situation. The policy of gradually increasing representation of non-whites in line with educational and economic development would probably have resulted in an eventual transition to majority rule as opposition to the policy decreased, with a much better outcome for everyone than what actually transpired in both Zimbabwe and the majority of other sub-Saharan African nations. The utter disaster that was and is Zimbabwe could have been avoided. Unfortunately, the rush to hand over power In former African colonies has been anything but a success. Before anyone calls me a racist or a fascist or anything similar, I am moderately left wing and very definitely not racist.

Had both the MS700 and later stupidly, when I could afford it the Ares MS338, externals were fantastic, the internals were dogshit. Main trigger sear in both examples snapped into pieces within 20 shots a piece, requiring extremely expensive aftermarket options just to do the bare minimum. Amoeba Honey Badger, that the stock ETU caught fire on its first use, and turned the gun into a lovely pile of beige plastic gloop. Round 2, when a local tech pulled the warranty replacement apart to remove the problematic ETU before plugging anything into it, discovered that the sector gear and bevel gear were made of clear plastic, on a £250 'premium' gun back in 2014. G36, which for some reason only known to the intelligent people at Ares, was shipped out with an M170 spring, resulting in a gearbox shell that was cracked at the front of the cylinder, such that when the gearbox was removed the front of the shell clean fell off. M320 GLM, where the primary receiver lugs for the hinge clean snapped off after 50 odd shells being reloaded. Tavor 21, first generation, plastic gears in a £370 gun. I have a much longer list, but that is why there is hate for Ares. They're like VFC AEG's, briliant externals (most of the time) but internals which need to be, most of the time, completely replaced OOTB.

Assuming an adapter even works, do you really want to run AR15 mags in an AR10? That's going to look weird. Seems to me like it will just add an unnecessary extra potential failure point. Buy the right mags or sell the RIF imo. Anything else is just going to result in headaches and frustration.

Hi all, About to order the steel slide from Guarder. Will I need anything else to get this to properly cycle? Will I have any issues or will I be good to go? Thanks!

What paint brand and colour did you use? Struggling to find anything for a reasonable price that also looks the part. Bonus points if you can include pics of how the paint looked on the rifle And for the sake of clarification, I mean the baby shit and blue - Not Rhodie brushstroke pattern

Reckon my neighbours toddler could build something with better quality than most those rifles Haven't seen anything made of paper thin plastic in many years To be fair, one looks like a cyma combat machine and I think the other M4 is a cyma aswell Pistol is a cyma pea shooter 10000% Edit: I take that back* (It's definitely some cheap shit) This is pretty damn cool but completely unusable at 99% of sites in the UK Id still buy it though 🤫

Hello, I have a salvo rattler and I’m looking to upgrade the handguard on it to something a little longer I have seen that airsoft artisan do a rattler sd handguard but it isn’t really doing it for me I have also seen they do a nice verity of handguards for the mcx and I know the normal mcx and rattler are pretty similar in design (the salvo ones) but I’m just curious before I spend any money if a mcx handguard will fit onto the rattler I can’t really find anything online so I’d though I’d ask here any help is appreciated, cheers.

Hey guys, I know we already have a dedicated section but it's mostly used for site reviews, which I love reading from down here, especially Asomodai's ones, but I reckon it'll get more visibility here. I'm interested in hearing how your day went, whether it's a simple skirmish, a full day themed event or a hardcore milsim! In particular I'd like to hear anecdotes, something in particular that made (or broke) your day, or even just some venting because of one or multiple unpleasant events, maybe a super long range shot or if you snuck so close to someone you managed to tap him on the shoulder. These kinds of things Lemme start this absolute shitshow by telling you (I don't care if you don't care, you sit there and read) my day. So, today was the first game after the summer pause, it gets quite warm here in summer and people prefer to roast themselves on a beach rather than play with toy gnus, I was very excited as I took my new specna for a spin. Due to the relatively low numbers we invited another club to play with us (which from now on will be called "cheater club" but I won't bore you with the explanation), we ended up being 18 people, 12 of us + 6 of them and some randoms thrown in. The day started well, with the two first games being a little slow paced due to "the others" playing for the first time in the highest part of our field. Hit calling was generally good until the last three games. The first one of these three saw me sneaking up to 4/5 metres of an enemy sniper, who was unaware of my presence as he was focused on pinning down my teammates. Flick the gun to semi and let off a couple of shots into the only visible part, the head. Both BBs impacted. And this is where it all goes to shit. The guy visibly flinches, turns towards me and ducks into cover, to pop up later with his pistol, but I'm still there waiting, this time with the fun switch on, and let off a small bursts that gets him right in the forehead. Still flinches and dives back into cover. At this point I'm pissed, I hold down the trigger to keep him down while moving to the side to get a better shot, as we were separated by a small ridge. At this point half a flash mag has been dumped. When I get really close to him, must've been 2/3 metres at best, he pokes out of cover and lets off a nice full auto burst from his CO2 pistol in my neck. I'm not Shouty McYelly, so I call my hit and walk away. Game ends and the guy comes out of his little trench, bleeding with visible welts on his forehead. Didn't feel bad for a second about it. Also quite a few people were watching the scene so I didn't even need to say or do anything as it was pretty obvious what happened. The game after I'm on defense, I set up an ambush on a small side path on the left hand side of the objective and spot a 3 man squad coming my way, I let the first one pass and unleash hell on the second and third guy. The second enemy dives into cover while the third, a good 10/15 metres behind the other two, is still in the open, so I instantly direct the fire towards him. Now I'm not 100% sure I hit him as he was a good 40 metres away, but my gun does reach up to at least 55 metres, I was shooting down from an elevated position and the spread was still torso sized. Nonetheless, the target at first stands still in surprise and then runs away. Meh. Follows a nice exchange of bbs with my club's president (the first guy) but then I'm overran and eliminated. Still a bit puzzled by this "incident", but again, might have misjudged the distance but it seemed like I did reach that guy, as when the game ended he told me my bbs were zipping past him. The magic of airsoft and round lightweight ammunition. Then the last game of the day, we send the whole cheater club to defend a small chapel, we as attackers have two advantages. Range, because we are starting from the high ground, and terrain knowledge. We split up in 2/3 man teams as we always do, my mate and I decide to go on a huuuuge flanking maneuver that gets us behind the objective. At this point it gets ridiculous: We emerge out of cover right next to a girl who was looking at the opposite direction, none of us saw her (new nickname, Eagle Eye lol) until she moved a few branches. On the plus side she somehow didn't hear us. Great, let's spread out now so she doesn't fuck both of us up with a single sweep. Slowly creeping towards her, I flick the gun to semi, wait for my teammate to move a bit and then I pull the trigger.... Nothing, fuck's sake, the gun locked up. She notices us, turns around to shoot us but we're already behind cover: me in a dip protected by a bush, my teammate on the opposite side of the very tree she was using as cover. I draw my pistol, pop out of cover and fire 4 shots, hitting her in the side of the mask (from 3 metres, clearly saw the bbs hitting) as she was looking at my teammate. I dive back into cover, she turns around towards me and my mate puts 4 bbs in her side while she lets off a small unaimed burst between us. Note that this took some seconds so she had the time to call the hit, but she doesn't until she took my mate's balls (lul). The hit was called, but suddenly she starts yelling that she hit both of us and ran to cry about it to our club's president. I stare at my mate, he stares at me, we both shrug and keep playing. We both end up being taken out by her boyfriend, who got himself into a really cheeky position and was almost invisible from where we were (imagine a huge bush with the tiniest of tiny holes in it and a barrel barely poking out, good luck spotting that), good play by him and we complimented. A rollercoaster of a day, which started with the best premises but ended in disappointment. How did your day go? Did you have the same bad luck as me? Did you have a great time?

Hi all. I'm still having fogging issues when playing Airsoft. It's getting me down as I just can't see anything, especially as I wear glasses underneath them. I've brought the above mask and an exfog unit. It has the double pain lenses, but someone at Airsoft today said I can get mesh lenses for it? I can't find any online though. I've tried antifogging sprays but they still don't make much difference for very long. Can anyone please make any suggestions, I used a grill mask thing today but my glasses still streamed up but not as bad. I'm basically half blind at the moment and a walking target.. Had so many headshots today I look like I have small pox. 😆 Many thanks. I'm debating cutting out most of the foam. Would that help and be safe?

Haha! You should see 70% for that too as it's an addition to the gun and not a replacement of anything.

Thank you for the reply, yes I still used the spray. I let it dry thn buffed it as advised. I tried the spit technique before that without any luck. 😆 Any suggestions on a brand? I'll try anything right now. It's full face, and has good ear and face cover. I'll try and remove a bit of foam where it looks safe. Thanks again.

Thanks to drafting a post across a few hours between serving people at an event I managed to somehow post on a totally different thread, and now at McDs I can repost …. On the topic of ‘glorification’, we play a game, for many that includes dressing up. The underlying motivation of the majority will be unknown, in some cases it can be a little clearer. There is a degree of time healing, such as in the re-enactment world knights, Cavaliers, Roundheads etc are far away from memory, WW1 is pretty much out of direct memory but there can be ‘family memory’, WW2 can get close to the bone when someone appears far too interested in Hugo Boss Rhodesia etc is nearer in memory than the American Civil war, but they have parallels (and in parts of the US in recent years their may be civil war re-emergence as a closely hinting message) Overall I could not give a toss about someone’s political motivations (it may not endear me to them) Generally I like the underdog, so that often directs me towards the baddies for at least the latter half of the last century and this century so far. I am a major fan of wooden accessories, sadly my SLR is in black, but my AKs are wooden. They have all given me great pleasure, but I will not take out my AKs again for personal reasons which I will touch on below. As a side note, the OSS ‘advisors’ to the Viet Minh couldn’t roll off the Declaration of Independence straight off their lips, which could have changed a future direction. Uncle Ho as an intellectual in an occupied country of the French empire studied Marxism and formed communist parties - just like any of the ‘oppressed’. His Declaration of Independences version of “all men are created equal” was intended to have a US flavour, but his “American friends” couldn’t help him with that, and as time changed after WW2 the US changed their “anti colonial” point of view to the fear of the communist domino effect Their fears handed Vietnam (as well as much of South East Asia) towards China and therefore Russia As I live in Salisbury, and around a couple of corners from Christie Miller Drive, I’m clearly no fan of Putin To make things more personal Dawn as my ex PAs sister That kills anything Russian related to me, and I do wince when I see someone putting Russian kit into the classifieds, but that’s my personal issue As another aside, in a different forum there were known Russian trolls operating, all currently on bans - their presence has been tolerated to enable disinformation to be countered, with regular suspensions for line crossing. With their knowledge on my circumstances they have pushed my buttons more than once and been subject to extreme breaches of forum rules for which I have not been penalised for. I’ve clearly been given a lot of leeway on that subject

The A&K m60 series is a solid contender, very easy to work on when it eventually goes down. Just be cautious of the feeding mechanism and making sure the tube doesn't get crinkled as well as making sure the internal feed tube also is positioned properly. I've always avoided anything Ares just on principle so can't speak on that one The Novritsch SSR249 (Not owned one personally) would be good I assume, the other few Novrtisch AEGs I've had and/or worked on have all been solid. Although my only video I've seen of one was the youtuber who had his catch on fire (I assume that's been QC fixed by now?!) Krytacs are good, when they work. When they break, it's usually some form of slightly out of regular spec thing which makes them a bastard to fix up. @HuttArmouries had an LCT RPD for a cracking price, not sure if he still has it though Alternatively, if you want to try the LMG role without investing too much (Make sure your site counts them as an LMG first) a Cyma RPK could be a good way to dip your toes into that side of the gameplay without spending a fortune I've primarily been an LMG gunner for my friend group for the past 4 years and I've loved it so much. However, you have to factor in that you're going to be suppressing more and going for accuracy a lot less - Which you seem to understand. Also be prepared to be hated by the enemy, and financially in ruins because of BB's and breakages 😂

Hi, I've been working on making own webbing from scratch similar to my kit in the photo, and I want to load it up and go for a hike to see how it fares. My question is: Can I load it up with empty mags and 40mm shells with no gas so they are totally inert and take it out for a hike? I don't intend to take anything out of their pouches, but having them in there would really help to get a feel for how everything feels holding their intended contents. There would be no weapons of any kind contained in the kit. I want to know if this would be legal to do in the UK. Thanks in advance!
