    because of paintjobs like that ! if you were in a skirmish and some young lad decides to follow you around with a shiny glossy gun with red streaks accross it what would happen?.... You'd be spoted strait away! Therefore COD ruins airsoft. Another reason why COD ruins airsoft is eejits who think they do the exact same thing in the skirmish feild as they did at 3am the previouse morning and how their all brilliant weapons experts refrenceing cod as their source of knowlege :pac:

    I wear ACU. It doesn't get much more stark, bright and out of place in a dark green environment such as a skirmish field. I've never had a problem.
    Tan guns are even brighter than that, and their popularity is huge. I also have a silver plated AK. I'm not sure you can actually get a more shiny rifle than that.

    While I somewhat agree that the superiority complex of many new players is both frustrating and horrendously annoying, it's less prevalent lately and quite easily dealt with. The "noob tube" references are my personal bugbear, but it's no worse than someone telling you a full and complete history of the rifle they're carrying as if it were the real thing.
    I wouldn't, however, say that it's ruining airsoft because of a paint job and a few hyper-active kids. CoD is the single biggest recruiting tool for airsoft, and an incredibly effective one at that. I'm not at all a fan of CoD, and I loathe online console gaming, but airsoft wouldn't have grown as much as it has done in the last few years without it.

    You know. I hate CoD.
    Why?
    Because without CoD I would never have discovered airsoft and I'd have money...

    I don't blame CoD for numpties wishing to paint their guns in day glow colours - I blame bad taste.

    On a totally seperate topic KSC Glocks are awesome - I found one mashed into the mud and dirt at my usual site 5 months ago (it had been there for three months) and we decided to see if it still worked, bear in mind it was rusted, covered in dirt and in a heap. Yet when we gassed it up, it fed and fired perfectly with amazing range.

    Moral of the story - Don't clean your pistols - bury them and and abuse them!

    I lost my g19 (KSC) At a game once, found it later in a brick trench, suffed, dirty, and a chunk of brick in the ejection port.

    Shook it off, and carried on skirmishing :D

    They are rather hard guns to kill.

    I've cleaned an awful lot of strange things out of guns - pine needles, fag butts, paper, paint, grass, but the weirdest has to most definitely be blutac (or what appeared to be bluetac...). Words can't describe the confusion and curiousity of this most recent conundrum...

    The show is capitalizing off civvie's love for SOF, especially after the Bin Laden carry on. It was always going to be over the top.

    However, the Military lads competing in the show all did their time in their teams. They're not close to walts. Myke Hawke on the other hand....

    He served in Delta Force.

    I know a bloke who's on a future episode, former 75th Ranger Regiment, according to him the whole show is ridiculously scripted and Hollywood. They tried to make it as "Hollywood" as possible, even down to telling the lads what they should be saying to each other etc. He hated his time on it.

    Apparently Myke Hawke isn't loved in the SF community, both for his actions while serving and his actions when he went "Hollywood.

    A lot of ex forces guys in the US will happily talk about a lot of thier SOF units. They dont seem to be as exlusive, and secretive in general as the Rangers, or Sas. SOme us units are of course, but delta, the rangers, green lot, seem to talk about it once out... in, they dont, but when out, happily mention it, so when they say it in the show, It doesnt quite hold the same 'I was in the sas me' 'yeah right' quality.

    In the general airsoft community, outside Ireland, not many know about the Rangers. In Ireland, any black kit is 'rangers' any ... oh wait, no paddyflage.

    You're associating their doubtlessly legendary products with a certain sort of hate inducing cretinous individual thereby damaging their company rep!

    Bad form Doc - I think you're going to seriously need to start retaining some lawyers to deal with the inevitable back lash. Or perhaps the posts will just magically disappear and it'll all be kosher...

    What anoys me too is they keep refering back to the police shooting as the trigger for these other events, when in reality people just thought it would be good crack to kick up a fuss.
    Mob rule. Pople turn into nothing more than animals when in a crowd. You may even be surprised to find out some of those people rioting have normal everyday jobs, money, well educated. It's not just the lower classes.

    But they won't be the ones who pay. They will go home tonight back to their beds, maybe have a brew, while others are left homeless. Lives destroyed. Pure and utter scum. :mad:

    To hell with that lads - this isn't over some lad getting shot by police - this looks to be opportunism and sheer scumbag-ism.

    I'm following this on on facebook (through friends status updates from people living there) and on newsnight - it's staggering to watch entire city blocks in Croydon up in flames.

    Check this out:

    http://twitter.com/#!/paullewis

    Not the biggest fan of twitter, but for 'on the spot' reporting of this it's the only way to go.

    /// latest seems to be that it's spread to Notting Hill - so it's not just the 'usual' areas...
