I don’t do airsoft but am on a couple of forums and am active on one. We have run some of our events in airsoft versions I don’t abuse them as I’ll recognise them as a similar hobby I have seen posts every now and again complaining that they discover that a site also runs paintball. Other...

Depending on what you’re after, call a couple of the UK retailers Certain parts are common, burst disks etc (as long as it’s the right one) and other parts aren’t (such as regulator rebuild kits)

@Dusty will be the one who knows better But there is a provision for visitors (this references the rest of the UK) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisi/2004/702/article/18/made Air guns held without a firearm certificate in Great Britain 18.—(1) A person resident in Great Britain may, without...

….. and finally for goggles: The 300fps design limit is in ASTM standards (American but recognised elsewhere) where 300fps is the explicit design limit rather than force Note that impact counts for the lens only, but goggle standards include foam etc Again full details in the AGM linked above

Also cyclinders after Brexit, with more details in the above linked AGM: The other key point is post Brexit cylinders: Pi is from European TPED and Brexit brings us to Rho certification There are no Rho cylinders on the market If the born date is before 1/1/2023 then a Pi cylinder remains...

A fresh one from the UKPSF and the legal attention that has been brought to varying calibres and pistols The headline points are in regard to the law on rifle/pistol air weapons having a legal maximum of 12 / 6 ft lbs, and goggle standards approved for 300fps No change for .68” calibre rifles...

Mark me down as an option - but bearing in mind both that I’m a moderator (so no appearance of favouritism) and I also have a couple of Ion project pieces that I should get on with Allow some time and If there is further interest then let someone else get this running

This is one I’ve been meaning to post up for the last couple of weeks, and have also been trying to see if I can find any updates in courts for the sentencing ……. https://ukpsf.blogspot.com/2023/09/urgent-warning.html?m=1#more There has been a recent non paintball case, where the defendant has...

@cheffy81 could you please add a ‘proof picture’ with a piece of paper alongside with your name & date

It’s sold - it’s mine ……. And you’re not having it :cool:

Anyone can get sponsored, but the definition of ‘sponsored’ isn’t necessarily what it’s generally thought to be * For paint, Bolter has given the best advice which is to ask traders (+ other players) and try some test balls. Of course do bear in mind that everyone has they own opinions on what...

…. And bigger copies of the pictures

If you do social media then you may have seen this being circulated: A Manchester Firm Eclipse CS3 and other goods have been stolen (Note that only one M/Firm CS3 is legitimately outside of the team)...

Interesting - that’s a slight pain, it was a good way of seeing Trevor & avoiding postage

Manufactured feb 2010 Cannot be used after feb 2025 To use it now you need a hydro test. If there are no test stickers then it is out of date but suitable for a retest. If you get it retested now then the test would be valid until the final expiry end of Feb 2025 (You would get 3 years of...

Most likely scenario is it all works Failure from bad paint would pretty much be a barrel burst and worst case scenario would be in the chamber needing a deep clean Unless balls are damp and swolen meaning they won’t load at all

This is difficult one and will always be personal judgement and how valuable that item is to you - the risk and reward of buying that special thing from far away 1) Goods and services on PayPal gives you payment protection, but only as long as everything fits the rules. Paintball guns have...

Probably worth giving them a ring to check. On their Facebook the latest update was in June, and is showing as ‘unavailable’ to me. Either their social media is very inactive or it may have not fully survived the Covid era https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057341414703

A common cause for the fart & a form of full auto is the trigger sear. When the air pressure has dropped too low the bolt/hammer doesn’t cycle fully and therefore fails to engage on the sear which results in burping and auto cycling. This can also occur due to wear stopping the sear from...

Perhaps …. @Dusty ?

I’m not sure on the average timing, but in theory it should be almost instantaneous I am aware that Gmail often has problems with emails from forum software and potentially holds them back or blocks them as spam (without getting as far as the recipients spam folder)

@Tony Harrison has been nowhere near my pants

Spring power is a no go. That only allows for the Splatmaster 0.50” spring action type, and you would only be able to run the child’s party groups which are typically on a fixed price for parents to budget a party Check out the series of videos by Martello of Paintball magazine / On Target...

I’ve stealth modded Newcastle into the title to give a hint to anyone with more local knowledge Walkons either have a strong following or fizzle out depending on locality & the crowd Any gear you already have will still be up to the job, except for expired bottles and what level of...

I’m on an Airsoft forum, regularly telling them that I won’t play and giving them my paintball wisdom …….. However, I do have a valid Airsoft interest having run Airsoft games, and it’s all about shooting each other for fun

Marbles? Subbuteo? Peas & straws?

I detect some strange activity
