Well, I've made it to the weekend.
I've finallyt got rid of my broke MP5, although I'm keeping the Front end and the stock because I have another on the way. Classic Army MP5 Sportline for £90, so I can drop them strait on that. I've also been looking at the ICS cosmetic parts, I dont want the new MP5 to go the way of the old one(Snapped body when I landed on it) so I want to replace the plastic for metal.
As for my M4, which has been in bits for the last couple of years, Its finally getting a new lease of life. A crane stock is on its way from Hong Kong(£20 Delivered), and I'm looking for an M4 RIS front end and Barrell to buy next time I get paid. After that it will be good enough for the only modern game I'm playing this year, Stirling Airsoft's "Operation Trident"

The weekend That was
Well Last weekend was fun, to say the least. I went airsofting on saturday. God knows why, but I turned up to a rain soaked Yorkshire site wearing green shorts and short sleeved shirt, which caused much mirth.
At about Half nine I allowed myself to be persuaded to get changed into my stand by cloths, plain green jungle shirt and trousers.
I was devastated when I chrono'ed my SLR, it hit 390fps, so that went strait back into the car, not to be played with again, or so I thought.
Game on was at around ten, there were some Rules of engagement in play, where one side(Government Forces) could'nt shoot anyone who was un armed, this caused some really class Rope Play by both sides, with accents that bad it was histerical. I remember one lad, who must have been about 14, tried to charge at me with nuthing but a rubber knife, I saw him from the corner of my eye, spun round and Blam, shotgun muzzle strait in his shoulder.
About half an hour before the Lunch break I went back to the car to see if I could tweek the SLR to be a reasonable FPS, Chrono'ed it and bang, 343 +/- 2fps for ten rounds. So game on, I was using it for the rest of the day.
It really was an epic day, had great fun all round, even though half of the rebel team left at dinner.
Sundaystarted out as a good day, well rested from saturday, but got worse.
About 4o'clock I lost it big style at my sister, and emptie a jug of water over her laptop. At the time I was washing the pots, sorting out the washing machine and coocking her tea, all along every 30 seconds nag nag nag.
Normally it would have been fine, just put it to one side to dry for a few days, but the silly sod plugged it into the mains within 30 seconds, so it is well and truely fragged.
I went to the local grave yard and just sat quiet for a bit, went home later and I was a wreck, I calmed down a little and took a couple of slleping pills. That was it, lights out till monday morning.

Hello
Well, to start off, I'm new to this I suppose I have too much free time So I'll bore you all silly, but If your reading this I suppose that says something.
I think of myself as a Military Historian, thats a posh way of saying a miniture wargamer, re-enactor, Live Action Role Player and Airsofter.
Miniture wargaming is as old as the ark, with two people facing each other over a table representing some form of battlefield, with figures they have painted and collected. I'll play anything, Sci Fi Fantasy or historical.
Re-enactment wise I have been involved with groups portraying WW2 German panzer units and British Airborne Units, although at the moment I'm on a sabatical from WW2, and re-enacting a Austrailian Infantry man from the vietnam war.
At the moment I play a Stargate larp system as a chatictor called Cpt Troy O'kief, and the Mealstrom system as Balian Hammerfist. Feel free to come and say hello if you see me.
As for airsoft, well, Simplified it is a posh way of playing soldiers in the woods with your friends. It started in the 80's as a few colectors buying Replica BB guns of what items they couldnt get in this country for whatever reason, by the 90's the replicas were getting more sophisticated and able to fire in automatic, and now has quite a cult following.
My main passion though is military history, at the moment it is the Vietnam War that really fills my time, but also includes WW2 and the Peninsular Wars and the ACW.
Well, thats me, more to follow.
