The Neutral Thread!

[Liam Porter]

They're great. This is disgusting, but me and my mate used to catch them, pull their heads off and let them go. They fly for about 15 seconds, then suddenly die. It's also quite amusing removing all legs/wings. If you remove all legs and both wings, they wiggle around in circles.

Maybugs are by far the worst though.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I have never ever seen one of those before. Must be a Southern thing.

But yeah, I'd love to torture Crane flies, but that would involve being near them, and touching one, for me, would be like throwing a brick of kryptonite at Super Man.

Why do you not like me?

 

[Liam Porter]

Nothing wrong with maybugs, although they can be slightly frightening if you're having a BBQ, just sitting around the table talking, and suddenly one crash-lands in the crisp bowl..

 

[M_P]

I've had seven maybugs in my room tonight, forgot to close the window :/

Nothing i hate more if im honest, big scary flying death.. Last year we boiled one in a kettle and put one in a microwave- some of my friends are way too creative

lazy buggers back in my day of 1999 you were sapouse to be outside in the sun with the ants and a magnifying glass not inside playing with the microwave. bloody kid's B)

Y'alls wimps.

Anything like that comes near me and I set my attack lizard on it until he has satiated his hunger-rage.

Neutral because....

Just realised I've been sat at my desk with one foot unsocked and the other happily ensockulated for about four hours. One foot is ice cold like the depths of hell (because actually, hell isn't an inferno, it's cold), and the other is snug and warm like a pimp wrapped in naked women.

Just added up the cost of everything on my L85:

Rifle £320

RIS £130

RIS adaptor £16

Grip-pod £20

LLM01 £70

ACOG and docter £100

ACOG mount £26

Docter wing mount £11

Rail ladders £60

Flash hider £25

Barrel £75

Hop rubber £15

Hop nub £10

LPE Piston head £16

STANAG Mags £75

LiPos £48 (£12 x4)

Total, minus postage £1,017 Including magazines and batteries

£894 Discounting magazines and batteries

Oh and my sling was £15...

Now, it's neutral because I love it to bits, which nicely counter balances the insane amount of money I've spent on it.

You know you love airsofting too much when you've done all that since Christmas...

 

[craig]

you should never add up how much you've spent on airsoft but everyone has the same response

money well spent B)

*Looks at the project I've just started, looks at bank account*

Anyone know the going rate for a (slightly used) kidney?

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I'm sure you can get enough from it to fund the project, Hugh.

It's totally worth a kidney. It'd be worth an arm or a leg if it weren't for them being needed to enjoy it.

I'm literally jittering in anticipation for all my final parts to arrive so I can finally complete it. By the time I've replaced all my current mags with Official Magpul Emags the overall cost will have taken a jump of £240, Magpul stuff is so horrifically expensive =[

Damn British Army, why'd they have to switch to Emags? Why does replicating a look have to be so expensive? D=

It's just the L85 that's cost me this much as well... I've barely even scraped the surface of getting all the right gear and kit... I'll probably be 35 by the time I've got everything, the L85 will probably have been completely revamped again by then.

Sad because the Camera-Raw software for Adobe CS3 is pants and is taking FOREVER to convert a few photos.

Happy because the photos are of boobs.

[TPI]

Another post YAY! Just looked at my post count 1500 odd wow...

 

[Tariq]

G36 was a breeze to fit a new tightbore barrel and hop.

MP7 was a pain in the ass. Took 50 minutes to fit the trigger back in, and fitted it wrong. "glock style" trigger safety no longer works.
