    Forum updates, feedback system and new versions

    By Arnie

    Firstly I'm going to try to document forum updates and other work completed to the site here in my forum blog. This will keep all the forum related updates in one place.   I've completed several updates to the forums today. We're now running the latest IPS versions for Gallery and Blog. There should be several bug fixes and feature adjustments with these new versions; I don't get a list I'm afraid or I'd publish it.   I've also taken comments on the trading system on board and we now have a

Dual guns 101

To Dual Gun you must: Abandon the natural Isometric firing stance. Learn to fire without a supporting hand. (one handed firing) Learn to quick index the front sights of not only 1 gun but now 2. Relearn to effectively place shots. Relearn how to coordinate your actions as now you have two weapons rather than 1. Develop Coordination in the weak hand as to make sure the shots from that weapon isn't just fired to scare people.   If you think it's too much effort, that's fine - but do

Oops, I did it again.

I was looking for how I had managed to smash a lightbulb this morning ...... after a 4-pack of Grolsch and a bottle of half-decent white wine on a Tuesday night I usually find myself looking for quite a few things.   Sobriety being one of them, an appetite being the other main one.   I was blatantly still p*ssed walking to work this morning, I would have been run down at the traffic lights if the usual thing had happened where some impatient sod runs the red light, thankfully though the g

Ooooohh, New Shoes! (guns, actually)

Shoes? F**k that. I have consistently failed to buy any footwear for over 2 years now, as Jason will surely attest   What I care about most right now (apart from world peace, the sanctity of god and Burger King) is my new toybox - due to arrive either late on Thursday or midday Friday. I counted; as any good airsoft geek should.   It contain 4 new guns, and more importantly, the means to fully operate another 3 guns to boot.   Yay me. I will have at least 8 fully operational and skirmi

Happiness Becomes You.

I'm just a bit miffed about something on the radio this morning; apparently the 24th of Janruay is widely believed to be the most depressing day of the year.   To whoever thought of making that public: f**k off mate, you couldn't think of anything else to do that day? Most people won't feel any better tomorrow just because its not today, but they might well feel a bit worse now that you've told them they probably should. Asshat.   So I say b*ll*cks to that, have a free smile on me and m

Swearing. Big and clever: official!

I'm putting this under `alcoholism` because I've had a few ..... You might be able to tell   The point I am (digressively) trying to make is; swearing is big, and it is clever. Go on, try it; swear a bit. Doesn't it make you feel mature, in some strange, esoteric way? 'Course it does. You wouldn't know those words if you were only 4 years old now, would you? That is the very definition of esoteric, and the very reason that swearing is both prized and feared by our youth.   Precisely.

Techno-Balls.

***WARNING*** Contains sanitised swearwords   It wont be as long as the last one, promise ....   Anywho: I pay attention to the WebProNews e-mails I get (daily, so it seems) and I try to keep at least one partially-deaf ear to the ground on such tech-related and internet post-modernisms as these newsletters (usually w**king on about how much google rule and how everyone wants to be their b*tch ) yet I find myself at odds with one thing they keep mentioning.   iPods, and more specif

Good G36 Upgrading site

This site seems to be very good for helping you choose what to buy when it comes to upgrading your G36c. I read through about 40% of it and it seems to be very knowledgable.

all done

That's my exams all over and done with, and they went much better than I thought Finding out that my English lit exam was three hours rather than two was a very big help, and I actually managed to get some half decent answers written. My multiple choice exam went very well ideed, and I got 75%! Go me!   Anyway, its back to normal classes tomorrow. And something else.....

M4: serial rape victim.

You'd think she would learn by now, wouldn't you?   Maybe a can of Tactical RIS-Capable Mace would be of better use than another knockoff surefire and a fake PEQ box ....   Lemme clarify, its your gun, you're more than welcome to stick any amount of tactical equipment to it that you like, and I do rape the hell outta some of my guns anyway so I can't exactly take the `moral high ground` in this issue, if indeed there actually is one. Mine are only for display and silliness though, like the

12-Gauge Glory.

Soooo....... we're having the 8th member of my rather greedy and self-indulgent shotgun family arriving soon, they're coming to dinner - and they may just stay the night ......   Actually, strictly speaking (or typing), that's a metaphor that could be better employed elsewhere, to when I had the pleasurable company of a Tac Launcher for a couple of nights, before it went off to someone else; who had actually paid for it.   This new shottie is in fact another of the same Marui series of sho

CA36c vs. TM G36c

here is really no difference. They are the same gun, same thing.       Comparisons:   "Classic Army CA36c"   1) Single matte body color 2) Higher stock FPS (NOT factory upgraded. Thats a lie) 3) Slightly stronger body (won't make a difference)   "Marui G36c"   1) Somewhat of a difference between parts when it comes to color.   (ie. The Magwell, motorgrip/trigger selector area, and foregrip are all gloss black and the body is more of a matte dark grey) 2) FPS is sligh

Quick update

I've bought a few bits and pieces over the last few days.   First off was a KSC STi 5.5 Hybrid, which will be interesting to compare with the WA SVIs I'm more familiar with. It certainly look good and seems a fair bit heavier (at nearly a kilo) than the older (but broken) STi, I've owned for a while.   If anyone has a KSC STi scope mount (or knows of a retailer with one), I'd be very interested in it.   Next was a set of Hogue finger grips for a Colt 1911. I've not decided which of my s

The Evil Hippy LP

Ah yes, my pet hate. Prepare for some bile   I am purposefully not gonna get carried away actually, I'll try and remain objective - not actually gonna happen now, is it?   Education, state education mostly, in this country (and I can't comment on any other country but I'm guessing its similar) is utterly terrible. Its over-managed, off-topic, over-sensitive and missing the point.   Now, I don't know why this is so, because i have no real grasp of the political complexities relating t

I am a liar, obviously.

Well so much for the `short posts` idea. Sorry if you have to read all this (I'm sure some poor sap is being forced to do so at gunpoint, as some kind of light-yet-wearing torture) but these are simply things on my mind. Thats why we're all here, non?   This is short, in fact, its only got a couple of lines left   After a few beers at work (after work finished of course) and a Guiness or two I found that yes, indeed, my rinsing alcoholism was back in play and I raided the folk's wine rack

The choice has been made. SG1 is the win!

I honestly don't know which gun, especially as a main weapon, to use in a skirmish. I've mostly tried using my M4, G36C, AUG, G3 SG1, RK 104, M16 with gas M203 and also the M500 shorty and M3 Super 90 shotguns as main guns, and all manner and size of handgun as backups.   The recurring problem is that I don't feel comfortable with them, and I have worked this out to be because I like them too much. Aesthetically, I mean; They don't have wonderful personalities, unlike most of the fine people

Assault Vs Scout Vs Squad.

I was trying to find a cunning way to call this entry `Salt & Pepper ftw - Assault 'em & Pepper 'em for the win` or something like that but I couldn't make it quite snappy enough.   But anyway;   After another slightly frustrating game of play on Sunday, that culminated in a glorious (literally) assault game, I have decided one or two things that might ring true with some of you. Maybe not everyone, but I have a feeling it will strike a chord with quite a few.     I was tagged

Why you shouldn't read Milton, and another rant

My first blog update of 2006 is going to be a bit of a rant. A bit? Quite a lot, in fact.   I'm currently in the middle of my revision period for two exams, one of which is English literature. Two things are bothering me about this exam; the first is a problem I have with all essay based exams (my other exam is multiple choice so it's not much of a problem) and the second is about a certain piece of literature.   Part one: the essay based exam.   I've taken a lot of exams since I star

Lusting after Halle Berry.

Well you would, wouldn't you?   I need to get my mitts on the Western Arms M84 spypack deluxe, I love the M84 Cheetah and the M8045 Cougar to bits and I'm getting a second Cougar soon, so it would be utter sacrilege not to have another version of the Cheetah to compliment it.   This is an uninformative, non-entertaining and completely pointless entry, purely to draw as much attention to my plight as possible which is that no bugger seems to sell these any more, and I want it so much I wo

HK33 for the win!

The KSC HK33 is the most solid AEG in the world. Ever. Dispute this if you will, and to be fair I haven't actually held/owned any G&P Armalites or STAR SA80s, but for me, out of the 12/13 AEGs I have, the KSC gun am teh bestest.   And I'm pretty sure its the best all round, mag issues are the only thing that could cause any complaint in that a] there are no hicaps yet and b] my mag has some of the plating around the top hanging loose, yet still it works fantastically and the mags are defi

In the spirit of short posts...

Realising that no-one wants to trawl through an essay of my ranting - even those of you who secretly love me or something - I'm gonna try and put a few short posts in betwen the rants.   I can tell you all care so much   So; a thought from my desk, and a totally shameless plug   I just completed the content update for our most important page on the website.

I'm pretty sure you're not alone, Snowy.

My apologies to Snowman for referring to him by the same name as TinTin's dog, but I have to echo and reply to his post on losing interest in airsoft.   No mate, your probably not, it is, as you say, the January blues. Almost certainly.   I've been thinking similar things lately, and I notice there is a lot of mention in the forums about quitting airsoft too - as if its a major life decision anyway - and a fair bit of angling for sympathy "No man dont leeve airsoft your cool man!!" is what

Am I getting bored?

Am I getting bored with airsoft?   I've had airsoft guns for a few years now, but somehow my interest seems to be waning...   Maybe it's just the cold weather discouraging me or the fact that most of my recent buys have been speculatives 'fixers', which don't seem to want to fix very much, but I'm struggling to get excited about airsoft the way I used to...   New releases only pique my interest and I find myself posting in off-topic almost as much as the technical threads.   I've a M
