First & Only Urban - 26th Jan 08

[mihangelion]

what camo then? i only have dpms and BDU

[Manius]

Do you mean 9th issue BDU (the Brad-PAT)?

Those who have 9th combat BDU's will be wearing them plus as much "approved" 9th kit as they have. The closer any others can fit with that the better but the other aim of the day is to get as many of us together so we can actually meet so if you don't have ANY approved 9th kit see what you have that might at least compliment the general Olive Green colour.

For example, if my M14 doesn't work for any reason (not even had it chrono'd yet!) I'll have to make do with my AK, meaning a swift change to putting on my MLE harness - it won't go, but it's practical for when we'll be playing actual airsoft at the site as it can actually hold my magazines.

Looking forward to doing CQB with a long las:(

[roguesword]

I'm looking forward to skirmsihing with a lasgun that feeds so badly it shoots one shot in 10... Ive heard of the PPA magwells having feeding trouble but this is ridiculous

[mihangelion]

lol im gonna be skirmishing with only one low-cap lol

the BDUs i have are the old US camo before they went with digi

[john]

Mihangelion what mags are you using?

Rogue sword I have no feed problems (except with the VN mags as the catch hole isn't but enough, time to get the file out)

[mihangelion]

well im either gonna be using my m4 or my g36c.

i have some mags for my m4 but i have feeding problems with a few of them and only one for my g36

[john]

I take it that you don't have a magwell conversion yet then, Bring the M4 along and I'll have a look and see what the problem might be.

[mihangelion]

nah not yet. i havnt had any money for awhile and prob wont for a bit longer.

its not the m4 i dont think but its the mids i have. they get "jammed" halfway up, my high cap works fine

[roguesword]

Hmm, my mag 100 rnd midcaps and TM lowcaps won't feed at all. ive tried holding them in slightly differnet positions in the magwell but nothing gives me reliable feeding. suggestions? I suppose i could try tightening up the spring, and I still havent packed out all the wobble in the magwell... looks like I'll be using a benelli for the 26th and 9th, as Im back to uni tomorrow and wont have time to sort anything out.

Oh yeah, how are those BDU's we're waiting for coming along, BTW? Will they be around for 26th/9th?

[john]

I suppose I could bring along my MP5's for the 26th, half a dozen lo-caps each should do you both.
Leaving my brother with my M4. And me with the SL9.

[mihangelion]

lol if my gearbox wasnt broke i could bring my mp5 lol. the casing cracked lol

[roguesword]

ah, mate that would be ace! I'm likely to be using the benelli for a lot of it though depending on the terrain. shame its not a bit warmer, in the summer I just skirmish with pistols.

I had the same trouble with my 100rnd mids, I solved the problem by only putting 80 rnds in, they do still jam up on occasion though and require a hearty slap to free them.

[mihangelion]

yeh id just prefer not to have to slap them lol hmmm do you think some form of lubricant would work?
