Richie_k83 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yea, pretty much that. It does leave a mark, i got my wife to shoot me in the back to get an idea of the pain lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 The bbs don't leave a mark on your clothes if that's what you mean. It's all honour based and sometimes people cheat. Also sometimes it looks like you should have hit the other player, when in reality the bb fell out of the air and rolled to the floor near them. That probably causes more arguments than people cheating... I had it once, no argument, just shot them more and aim for the areas that hurt lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get my ass into gear once my gun is fixed. Been looking into grenades too. This hobby just gets dearer. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianhid Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I don't bother with primer grenades (oshiboom etc), paper pyro is accepted at more sites and has fewer restrictions on how you throw it. Save the money and put it towards a different gun when you inevitably decide you want one . Indoors the Mk5 thunderflash is my go-to pyro, outdoors it's a ball grenade. I'd take a pair of ball grenades or thermobarics indoors as well for long throws, thunderflashes aren't heavy enough for that. I've been using TLSFX for the last few years, works well and reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well i ended up getting s new stock, its a fixed full length which can hold the battery too once i re-route the wiring. Going to order a new front hand guard, seen one on ebay with a straight grip and side rail for a torch. Starting to take shape now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Any chance you want to sell the old stock pin? My MP5 one has gone missing and I can't find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I thought without a UKARA liscence you can only use your own guns if they are painted in a green colour so it resembles a toy gun? when i last looked, you could buy a gun from authorised places, but without a UKARA liscence number they would only send it in green Maybe things have changed I went a few years ago, was good fun but i didnt realise it was taken so seriously by some people, one guy was in his late 40s and had marker pen stripes and his face like "arnie" in commando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 In all honesty the UKARA is daft, it just give you a go to if the old bill come knocking... Nothing stopping people painting them afterwards really... You do need the membership to buy the unpainted ones, but to go and play, you dont to my knowledge. I wasnt asked at the mall for anything. Some guys do take it very seriously lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianhid Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 You can buy them in a few different approved colours (the colours are specified in the VCRA) without UKARA or similar approved defence. The colour must cover more than 51% of the body of the weapon. UKARA doesn't matter when using the RIF, it's just buying and selling them, although it can help if stopped on the way to an event. It is legal to own a RIF without a current UKARA. You still need to have a reasonable defence to be in possession of a RIF. The defence is generally that you are a regular skirmisher and are in transit to an approved event, or you are taking the RIF to a maintenance professional by appointment. God help you if you leave it in the boot of your car and drive around with it. So I could happily lend my non-painted RIF to a friend at an event, or purchase one as a parent and give it to my child to use under my supervision at an event, even if they were not UKARA members or legally able to buy a RIF. As with all things where you are likely to be shot by mistake by an armed officer, better safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsia Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Do you mean the pin that holds it to the base of the gun..? That's the one Not too fussed really, was going to put a nut and bolt through it if I can't find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_k83 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Finally got round to relocating the battery to the stock. Had to strip the whole thing down to reroute the wiring... Thought it would be rude not to get the paint out whilst there and get rid of the awful Blue colour, End result with the new 2 point strap. Also have some more parts on order that should land in the next 2-3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Anyone selling any of their old weapons? Thinking about getting into air soft, have been for a while. There's a shop by me, but don't really want to go buy new and give it a go if I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
