Naw its ok already have the leather couches

Anyway once I'm in Mr. Shiva will be getting a request for one of his best M4 or M16's and if he is going to stock the shotties one of those as well.

Are you stockpiling for the apocalypse? Might want to get some canned foods too.

Naw I like the feel of the AEG's also have a few mates who are interested so with extra AEG's then they can come along and not have to worry about rentals. I had the MP5 PDW with me last time to test it out but had the AK74 for the skirmish one of the other lads there didn't have an AEG and Paul had no rentals available. I gave him the Galaxy to use for the day.

OK OK I am actually stockpiling for the Airsoft Apocalypse

Shotguns are good to invest in, what i've noticed is that they force you to take your time. A lot of ppl could do with going a little easier on the trigger.

panic fire...and a rattley pepper shaker high cap..never a good mix HAHAHAHA...its why i want to just once do a true milsim game with 30 bbs per mag...6 or 9 mags in your vest, 2 mags for your pistol...

wolf, you should do sniper, looks like you have the patience of Job for it dude..

Go for a bolt action one like the HFC USR 11 I have (or a TM VSR11 which it's a clone of). Still haven't skirmished with it yet thou. September will be a bumper skirmish month for me.

Here's a video of the fun and games today. A bit of Practical Pistol, range shooting, vanity AEG firing and lunch time bull session

Featuring Fiach, Hetzer, Rochie, Gar and the Voice of Hetzer



Lower quality then last time but I had to drop it down to get a good amount with the 128 meg card

odonnell

sure someone will hand it in if they find it mate.

People play so much on that piece of land now that lost parts have a high rate of turning up. I'd be very surprised if it didn't sooner or later.

Mark_Sc

someone found an aep mag(probably a DE or TM usp one) at hrta yesterday

Dr_Pepper

Shiva

I think I may be allowed out this weekend....I've been a very dutiful and attentive new daddy, so its payback time

Crave

That mag may be mine, I'll check when I get home tonight:eek:

payback time? sounds like words of frustration to me man....youll be taking it out on all of us then yeh?

lads a question: hrta, full day shot yeh? 10.30 - 5.30 on saturday.... what do yous do for food and stuff? are there any facilities or is it bring your own etc. what should the noob know before he comes completely unprepared, cos when my stomach starts growling - theres no escape man.

Voodoomelon

There's a garage about 2 minutes down the road from HRTA, they have a deli counter and have some hot food. About half of the lads there head down to the garage at lunch time, everyone else brings their own stuff. Theres a clean toilet and drinking water available onsite. You might want to bring wet wipes or the like to wipe yourself off if you become dripping with sweat.

A change of clothes makes sense if you end up getting filthy or wet for the journey home.

odonnell

and do most of yae stay the whole day yeh?

cheers for the info btw mate.... just so i know what to tell the mrs.

She'd prolly come collect me heh

Jaysus...I want a wife like that one.

Just so you know mate, its become kind of a tradition...newbies usually bring lots of Mars bars and goodies for the regulars on their first trip to HRTA.

No, seriously...it has ! I swear !!
