    Umarex 50? That’s not a revolver, this is a revolver …… ….. and sat beside an Umarex Thats a Sellswords 3D printed .68” front end on a Crossman .177 air pistol, and is very under powered. I’ve fired the Selswords on the range, and the Umarex hasn’t had an outing. .50” is at a smaller...

    Payment

    There’s not entirely nothing to be done. You can go back to PayPal, and also to the police The default finding.by PayPal is buyer protection, but it also provides seller protection. Take your proof of postage receipt and the labeling of what came back. (This is best if it has a Royal Mail...

    Returning to the sport!

    We lost Gommie a short while before Covid happened, the Facebook group that used to celebrate his customs has increased in membership covering his various worlds in and out of paintball If you have any pictures of his builds then they’d be welcome on the group, and if you have any tales then...

    Rec/Punter Ball

    The purpose of not counting headshots is to avoid players being too afraid to pop out heads to look, to a minor degree it reduces the odds of being shot in the head when a punter takes their fogged goggles off before a Marshall can jump on them (Or there was the other original purpose in the...

    NXL World Cup!

    There are a few versions knocking around, (and also potentially there were up to three ‘fights’ going on for various reasons excluding the ambush in the car park) From one of the teams it was:

    Pods for Strapless Harness

    I’m going to blame most pod problems on user error I went to Dye locklids when everyone else was going to the newest shiney thing, and even though I stocked up on well used second hand ones (including a part melted squashed pod) they all perform perfectly well Locklids are tight because they...

    Mask Max £90

    No. It’s lensed, but the standard of the lens is unknown and the frame fitting the lens might not be good enough Many sales spam their description with paintball, airsoft etc but aren’t designed or tested to the correct standards. The lens, frame and all fittings must be able to take multiple...

    Mask Max £90

    It really is a matter of paintball masks for paintball The following is a recent test by PBM Paintball Magazine of a dodgy set of goggles, it shows how something that doesn’t cover the standards just isn’t fit for purpose. With this set the lens breaks out of the frame

    Mask Max £90

    There are no safety standards for airsoft goggles/masks, the only standard that is used is the impact level, and it doesn’t apply to mesh / mesh does not comply with the impact standard There is only one brand that states their goggle is safe for airsoft - and that is a ski style goggle with...

    Mask Max £90

    Goggles are very personal, and even for glasses wearers one may work for one persons combination of head and glasses but not another. I mostly use Grills which have a slot in their foam for the arms of your glasses and plenty space around the lens If you time it well and get lucky there can be...

    The main problem with pyro shopping is the specialist couriers that it needs. The best price would be from a pyro supplier at an event, eg Enola Gaye Next best would be collecting yourself from a retailer There isn’t a lot of margin in pyro so there also isn’t much scope for ‘bulk discount’ -...

    this is ridiculous.

    I did my bit by arriving on the doorstep before advertised hours while they were arriving and opening up the other week ….. then held them up chatting and stopping them from getting on with work related stuff (And then messaged the boss telling him I’ve been disrupting the staff)

    this is ridiculous.

    Does that mean there is a UK shortage of that paint as people have panic bought it all?

    Looking for Fluffies and Pod Swabs

    They have us over a barrel for swabs/fluffies, as there’s nothing in particular outside of paintball that uses anything suitable. A basic fluffy can be cheaper - but with that you’re just ramming the broken shell and paint residue down the barrel - unless you take the barrel off or pull out the...

    Looking for Fluffies and Pod Swabs

    As a tip for pod swabs look in your local cheap shops cleaning products area. I’ve got aPoundland one like this: https://www.in-excess.com/collections/cleaning-equipment/products/chenile-microfibre-duster For swabs I have no good answer. One oldschool method was to attach them to a lanyard -...
