  1. Yeah, we want ones that work. And look nice.

     

    QFT :D

     

    The Tanaka ones, whilst yes, available, are not exactly what I'd call "Airsoftable", judging by what I've heard and seen - even a guy at Wolf a couple of years back said it was more a paperweight than a serviceable pistol for Airsofting!

     

    Noted problems include:

    Leaky magazines - allegedly, you charge the mag with gas, and it leaks like sieve.

    Range - not very far, apparently

    Velocity - hell, you can throw the balls faster, I've heard!

    reliability - they break easily, it seems.

     

    So, Marui, KJW, etc - get a grip, and make a decent L9A1 Browning, please! :)

  2. These have been mentioned before, but they'd be VERY welcome, esp for modern reenactors who play Airsoft as well :)

     

    L9A1 Browning "hi-power" Pistol, or "GP-35".

    L2A3 Stirling sub-machine gun (SMG).

    L1A1 Self Loading Rifle (SLR). - On the way :D Two manufacturers have current plans to release an SLR each :)

    L4A3 Light Machine Gun (LMG or "Bren").

    There y'go: That's my wish list :) (and yes, I've fired every one of those in RS when I was "in" :))

  3. A few from when I was in the RMP(v)

     

    In order:

     

    On exercise, somewhere up north (can't remember where, think it was Proteus)

    Woken up on Exercise Log Leap '84, IIRC. The photographer was NOT kind enough to bring me a coffee :devil:

    At the Duke Of York's reopening, 1995 IIRC. Note Shiney Boots (as an old instructor once said, Shiny Bots, Shiny Mind!)

    Finally, one that many of you'll be drooling over... and we got to fire off four each :devil: We were backloading the remainder in favour of the LAW80, you see! :D

  4. Arnie -

     

    many thanks for the linkages; they worked a treat, even if I did have to cut'n'paste them, lol :)

     

    For those who aren't that well computer-know-how'd-up, here're those links again, properly formatted - RIGHT click and "Save As" to save 'em ;)

  5. Hiya Arnie :) Mobile number's still the same, mate - gimme a bell sometime :)

     

    Re TT - I'm using TT6 for WM5; it still uses OV2 files; I managed - dunno how - to get the ASCUK version via a google search, but I'd obviously like the AA version ;) I've run a search of both HDDs here, no Airsoft OV2 files bar the ones I manually d/l'd off ASCUK :( What's happened?

  6. NO! Not green - it's black, and adonised (not gun blacked) at that!

     

    Problem with the cocking handle on the model you have, Doc, is that it's (1) too thin, (2) too long, and (3) has a bleedin great shiny screw head showing in the middle, and (3) spins on its' axis.

     

    Hope the above helps, anyhow ;)

  7. lol thats much beter than mine :P,but i did make mine at like 1am,anyways yea doc if you do what redcap,eddie and myself have pointed out it should be spot on ;)

     

    Thanks, lol :)

     

    Aye, sorry about that, went a little 'milphotos.net' there. Didn't help I was drunk  :beer:

     

    NP, do understand, just a little close to home for me, as you can imagine.

  8. They didn't run away from 6 Military Policemen, who they damn near dismembered when they murdered them, mate. Do try to remember those we have lost whan you talk about bloody Basrah. I still have mates over there.

     

    Anyhow, here's a slightly clearer image than the one Aimpoint just provided (nice try, but the bircage highlight wasn't too clear, IMHO, old boy ;)), as requested, Doc.

  9. The areas WITHIN the birdcage at each end need to reflect regular cleaning, and the Gas Cylinder Plug should be bare metal (silver), but aside from that (and the frankly poor job the manufacturer did in replicating the cocking hangle of the A1, so not your fault, lol) nice job. Well done. Now, go hang it on the wall ;)

  10. Everyone knows that you can't saftey an AR-15 unless it's got a round chambered... :)

     

    *sarcasm mode engaged*

     

    Really. You might want to try to tell a Skill At Arms Intructor that I know down at the RMP CP Wing :P If you're real lucky, he'll only insult your intelligence levels! :devil:

     

    *sarcasm mode disengaged*

     

    Awaiting flaming :flamed::D
