scorch

Seen Ohshiboom grenades go off with the pin still in. Took a hard knock to do it, but still. Didn't sit right with me.

And ones in my basket until payday.

Fnar.

Maybe it's some kind of self-ghillieing suit, so you wear it and run through a bush and it covers you in fresh local foliage? Or maybe he's played too much warhammer 40k and thought spikey bits on armour is cool.

What the hell is it? What does it do?

Chernobyl is phenomenal. Its pulling no punches at all. And the most terrifying part is it's all true.

Went for a look through the local charity shops for something gor a project I have on the go, and found a coffee grinder for £3.50. After a dismantling and thorough cleaning, it's good as new. It's not a top spec piece of kit, but it does the job exactly as it should. Picked up some beans from the local roasters too. They were roasted yesterday. Also, is anyone else watching Chernobyl?

We're all here for you buddy.

Eye protection doesn't just protect your eyes. It protects the guy shooting at you from feeling awful if he blinds you. We're talking about the potential for a life changing injury here. It's not just 6 weeks in a cast or some stitches, its permanent. With that in mind, the attitude of that post from Skirmish Airsoft Billaricay is absolutely inexcusable. When it's a matter of safety, you should own your mistake and learn from it.

I have flashlights, but rather than big D-cell monsters mine are the small tactical variety. They're a bit spiky on the bezel though so I hope I dont stumble into anyone in the dark. With my 18 stone behind it, it would sure cause someone a mischief.

Milspec should mean good. It really means made by the lowest bidder because half the procurement budget disappeared into brown envelopes.

I feel we're massively overthinking it. With any and all sectors of public service, all you need to do is remove the opportunities to line ones own pocket and add some accountability and the problems will most likely solve themselves.
