  1. So there was a big fuss over some guys at UNCo allegedly getting dragged off by the police a while back and the business maybe going under.. anyone know what happened? They stock some stuff I wanna buy.

      As far as I know they're still in business and taking orders. I bought some stuff from them last week, I'll update with whatever happens.

      I guess the right people have been suitably paid.

      Well, for whatever it's worth, I managed for them to ship my order. Though it took some arm twisting.

  2. Sim rounds are cool as fruitcage. Somehow, we need to make that stuff civvie legal here.

      They're about as accurate as an average AEG at 300FPS, same sort of range. Good for CQB but not much past 40m.

      Took a couple of hits myself on the arms and there's big bruises to indicate as such, but I didn't feel anything at the time.

      page 5 of this US Army safety brief stuff talks about the blacktip.

  3. By far, my favourite thing about the Hitman series:

      One of the last pieces I arranged for my undergraduate was Ave Maria, and I used this arrangement as a base.

      I remember putting this on in the background when I played the last mission in Blood Money (the funeral).

      Such goddamned good games. I might do me a Silverballer one of these days.

  4. Dear Santa, please make TM do a HK416A5. Ta.

      No consideration at all, have they?

  7. My what a fine, bright Saturday in June we find ourselves enjoying, I think that I shall relocate myself to the garden area and partake of some photographing. Oh no wait, now it's *fruitcage* hammering down...

      I switched to a US server and it was all warm and sunny.

    2. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Did it have a real time weather system? I played something that had that once, you hooked it up to an online weather reporting service and the game would then reflect the actual weather where you were.

    3. renegadecow

      renegadecow

      Nope. Just sheer rotten luck.

  8. Hate to say it, but I'm sorry Mr Browning. I'm just not a fan of your 9mm.

  9. At last! Official Magpul hoodies. Yay.

    1. Habakure

      Habakure

      If they're available in grey with loads of magpul logos all over it, am in.

    2. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      I just wish they'd do a 'memories of the good old days' t-shirt with enormous cartoon iterations of costa and haley's faces on the front and back sporting massive grins and speech bubbles saying 'bust em!' etc.

  10. Add to the 'shot' list: G17 Gen4, Full size M&P 9mm, 14.5" .223 AR.

  12. Anyone have any recommendations for travel insurance? Preferably that covers shooting?

    1. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Flat/square range (not sure of the terminology they use tbh), no competition shooting. I shall check out the post office, cheers guys.

    2. TB-Stalker

      TB-Stalker

      Virgin covered my trip to SA with included range shooting

    3. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Went with the post office cover. About £70, covers clay pidgeons/range/small bore shooting. Also about £10mil medical expenses, which I reckon ought'a be enough.

  13. Need a recommendation for a bit of cheesy-action-film style Library/stock rock n' roll music to use for a little bit of footage we captured in work, anyone have any suggestions?

  14. Just picked up a Surefire for a steal on eBay because a woman's ex had left it behind when he left himself. Valentine's irony.

    1. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      I messaged the seller to ask about the unusual listing. Check their feedback and you'll see why I say unusual.

    2. PureSilver

      PureSilver

      Ah, she's made her feedback private. No drama for me! :(

    3. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Sufficed to say, pretty much everything else she's sold has been women's clothes apart from (recently) a Garmin foretrex, some Crye AC trousers and that light. Hence why I messaged her.

      I was attacked by a blancmange once.

  16. SKD Deal of the Day - Comp M3s http://www.skdtac.com/dealoftheday.asp Might be useful to somebody out there.

    1. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Well no, but then there's plenty of American players on here I thought would be interested. Surprisd they sent Gear Sector to be honest, which parts?

    2. bladerunner168

      bladerunner168

      Foregrip and various bits of Surefire mounts. I too am confused with what they can/do and can't/won't send.

    3. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Ah well, can't complain. Pretty sure OpTac won't send those exact same parts. <3ITAR

  17. Bloody hell. I've got about 10 gazillion pages of reading to do on here once I finish guard duty.

  18. I predict a 247% rise in gangsta' and a 4-fold increase in pmpin' with the adoption of the new Glocks.

  19. Somehow, I really don't think there was much of a need for me to turn 65 rounds in to 65 cases in order to do a week of unarmed guard.. sorry taxpayers.

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      I assume you are referring to a time you spent firing off way more then needed ammunition. I am not a UK taxpayer, so I cannot really say anything as a valid argument. I would say though that if anyone who is willing to serve their country wants to have a bit of fun on the range, I'm fine with supporting them. Much better use of taxes than the majority of what our governments have done with the funds.

    2. Tinkerton

      practice. it was all pratice, chris. as a taxpayer, i can understand.

    3. Bando

      Bando

      i wish more of my taxes went to paying for the armed forces to train maybe we would suck so much then

       

  20. Anyone got some of those plastic bags that PTS E/T/PMAGs come in knocking around they'd swap for a few doubloons?

    1. bladerunner168

      bladerunner168

      I got 6 PMAGS incoming from HK but they're of the shorty variety, you are free to have those plastic ziplock bags as soon as it's cleared UKBA/PF etc etc...

    2. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      Generous of you mate but I'm actually after some for GBBR mag storage. Might just nip down to the supermarket and get some of those plastic bags you put packed lunch stuff in, probably easier all round in the long term. :)

      How many people still think Z1, GZ and the forum are not linked? Do we still have people that blind to how much they are *fruitcage*-ing up airsoft?

    3. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      I didn't think anyone thought that? Though I'd imagine there are if you're asking that. I mean on a basic level, they all operate within the same branding and company 'group'. Even if it weren't obvious based on the branding, Az has provided the evidence right there.

    4. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      You are on the forums, you have seen the 'we are not affiliated / have no say' posts that they put when someone complains and then gets ignored? I tried to ask the mods about it, flat ignored, no help offered, asked at the shop, same. Sad that they are so popular among those that are new. :(

  21. Gave my mother the first half of Tactical Carbine vol 1 to watch. Middle-aged women who've never touched real guns do not respond well; took a lot of explaining to convince her of the fact that people do not actually shoot each other in such classes.

    1. TheFull9

      TheFull9

      rc - Very good plan, but would defeat the object unfortunately, heh.

      fk - Sufficed to say she volunteered off her own back, but I can't mention the reason as to why in public.

    2. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Ah I see, so why can't you say in public then? I have a PM box that needs filling :P.
