Scotsman lecturing an Irishman (in England)

Also, the North East of Ireland is OCCUPIED by the British Corrected that for you as the UK is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (((Except to be even more pedantic, Southern Ireland / the Republic of Ireland / Eire is north of Northern Ireland, with the British...

Try just the shell on its own. Will they screw in? If they go in fine on just the shell but not when fully assembling then something about the body vs shell is affecting the alignment by a slight amount

Eye protection standards for Airsoft are like the Wild West, but for paintball there are recognised standards For paintball you must use the approved standard, an Dye i4s meet the US, European and International standards EN166 stays valid in the UK post Brexit (while current certification...

That would be me and @Lyndication referring to about returns and negligence - both stating these are our opinions I don’t think that I have been criticised for a lack of nuance - oversimplification is not a thing that I ever do, take note of the multiple posts it took me to go into my reasoning...

I come from the world of paintball, so I would say full frames But you want EN166B Glasses style are available at EN166B for impact but I hate seeing these. It’s fine for impact, but not so good if the glasses dislodge and move (which you can help minimise with a strap) but they also risk non...

MIL-PRF-32432 is a very different standard than EN166F, EN166B and EN166A It is for a 0.15 calibre 5.8 grain T37 shaped projectile at 195-201 metres per second (I’m not working those out at the moment - they exceed the needs of Airsoft and would be perfectly fine It is very contradictory for...

My second favourite marketing term ….. ballistic rated That does not mean they are designed for being shot at Shooting glasses are often marketed as ballistic rated - in marketing terms that means they protect the eyes from the blow back of dust when shooting In the world of the Army, not...

My favourite subject - eyes!!!!! EN166F is the bare minimum for impact standards, and with a lack of consistent standards for Airsoft is very basic It is tested for 6mm 0.86gram steel balls at 45 metres per second / 147 feet per second That would be 0.87 joules, compared to EN166B at 130...

On the face of it, I would accept the RIF photo as one of the items, looking a bit scary as a gun like thing, which could be a bad man chav piece, or could be a genuine player caught up in also being a naughty boy / girl, it could have inappropriate projectiles with it (not the first time that...

You can be sent a RIF declaration for a package that has not been looked at - an early question would be “Does it contain a RIF?”, so your answer is “No”, the same answer if asked “Does it contain an IF?” If it were a RIF you don’t necessarily need UKARA as the legal requirement is one of the...

I’ll second the advice from @Tackle and @auster about universal holsters being pretty rubbish at retention and that a buy back could be the best option if the buyer is willing. But I can also do a bit better than tackle and refer to my eBay ….. I don’t have the one you are after, but do have...

The MoD policy on firing ranges is publicly available, complete with a chapter on air rifles covering anything from a full range down to a mobile range in the back of a lorry https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/jsp-403-volume-2 In general the other chapters can be worth a browse for the...

Weather, booking numbers and staff availability are the probable causes of cancellation So please book & be reliable But also be aware of potential implications of regular cancellations - do you need to boost the walkon attendance as a local playet community or do you need to be wary of a site...

Money is money, and a little bit of incoming money does chip into the fixed costs But a little bit of income could be a loss against the variable costs - the obvious one being staff - a game should have a minimum of two Marshalls, increasing in line with head count. You could ‘get away’ with...
