it was closed from my memory because of chat of irish DPM, was it not?


As far as the mag goes though, If i know Ian i can tell you he will bend over backwards to supply what people want from the magazine. Simply letting him know what you think of the gaming reviews will go a long way towards shaping the future content of the mag.

Standing on a soap box though and saying im not buying because of this that and the other isnt exactly helping though, he'd be only too happy to take on peoples input.

Lots of threads have veered off course, and mods are usually okay with cleaning up stuff, but the take aim lads have told me they asked for the thread to be closed for good, and they're done with boards.

In fairness, they'd want to have their heads firmly stuck in the sand to not realise people don't want the gaming stuff. Everybody I've talked to has mentioned it, everybody, without exception.

Nothing against Alan and Ian, they're sound and all, but like a lot of people getting into business in Airsoft in Ireland, they saw a bit of success and then lost the run of themselves trying to go worldwide and putting al sorts of bollix in. I'd rather say that to them than "Great mag lads fair play airsoft's the real winner", etc.

agreed there, the mag veered way to far off the topic of airsoft in my opinion..when you consider that Airsoft International is cheaper with far better content, they need to take a look at that and go back to the roots of irish airsoft and not be concentrating on fps games and cracking abroad

Start packing. There's a little Team just outside the town that runs small games in an old tiny farm yard, Manor Airsoft Defenders. Checked it out last week end and it was pretty good, not a site that I would make my regular at but it was pretty good craic.

You copy and paste the letters and numbers at the end and in this case its :YngpWylqQ3A in between the youtube tags.

That demo has been up for over a year. They've never given a firm date on it, probably as it doesnt work.

Sorry about that, I'm not a gamer so I wouldn't know about these things. The only reason I posted it is that a mate works in MS and they were given a demo this week and told it would prob be released by Xmas

Does this mate of yours have any input on whether or not they've going to go the rubbish 'dance/sing/band/exercise' route of the Wii Mark?
I suspect that this is going to turn into a Very Bad Thing for the xbox. It's bound to lead to all sorts of rubbish games being made simply because they allow for natal to pick up on your movements ... sort of like 3D is the new (old) rubbish idea to try to get punters back into the cinema.

This is gonna sound weird but i think that if aegs didnt break it wouldnt be airsoft and would be quite boring! I just fixed my p90 and g36c. Nothing major just replacing the hop-up and stuff but in the end its quite satisfying knowing that everything is ok again! lol!

No, he definitely doesn't have any input into/influence on the product, he's just a grunt in the trenches. I know what you mean about the questionable 'games', we bought a Wii for our daughter and it is great fun playing MarioKarts/Olympics/Sports as a family, we also bought one of the High School Musical singing 'games' at the height of her passion for all things HSM but even she won't play it.

I've no problem with AEGs needing maintenance resulting in replacement parts and/or upgrades but I will never find having them fail in use an acceptable part of airsoft

That's exactly right.
Ive seen anything from an 80 quid gun up to a 2 grand gun go kaput, all airsoft guns break, its a matter of when, not if.

Part of my attraction to the sport was the opportunity for tinkering, definatly wouldnt have the same draw otherwise..

Much like Tamiya Mini 4wd's did when I was younger (not sure if they became a 'thing' over here)

This is a great documentary, its long but deffinetely worth the watch.

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus.

She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.

She immediately moved to another seat.

This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.

The man seemed more amused.

When, on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing,

she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.



The case came up in court.



The judge asked the man (about 20 years old)

what he had to say for himself.



The man replied,

'Well your Honor, it was like this:

when the lady got on the bus,

I couldn't help but notice her condition.

She sat down under a sign that said,

'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned.

Then she moved and sat under a sign that said,

'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile.

Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said,

'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself.

But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time

and sat under a sign that said,

'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!'

... I just lost it.'
