Airsoft is good, all walks of life and keeps yer fit too..have to agree that some do go O.T.T with radios and headsets but each to their own as i said before..they like it so thats all what matters

Much better than Paintball because of the guns...yes you can get cheap plastic crap but the full metal ones which as i say are replicas and are the way forward £250-1500.




Commercial airline pilot eh? sweet

OK sry for the hijack

No problem.....but I had to delete a post sharpish when I saw you posted this, nothing bad.

My Bro was a regular in the Queens and subsequently the POWRR (tigers) and was in the freefall team through the transition from the dragons to the tigers.

Not an airline pilot, I used to fly SAR/surveillance for the Coastguard (fixed wing yes it did exist), now I fly private jets.

Lol yeah a qiuck delete but it wasnt any sort of slagging off, I just felt a little hard done by, I prefer getting along with folks.......mostly

once again, for the sake of science, in the movie "Idi I Smotri" there is a scene where they used a real German MG with real live ammunition, it was recorded on film, so what you see is what it looks like in REAL LIFE. Hope this helps a bit in the never ending debate of what tracers actually look like..

have a look from 4:14 and even better at 6:29

"The 2006 UK DVD sleeve states that the guns in the film were often loaded with live ammunition as opposed to blanks, for realism. Aleksei Kravchenko mentions in interviews that bullets sometimes passed just 4 inches (10 centimeters) above his head (such as in the cow scene)."

It's more likely to have blood spray from pistol rounds, spitzer ammunition like the one of MGs and assault rifles does a neat entrance hole, but the exit one is bloody and messy. Many soldiers in ww2 reported that sometimes in the heat of the battle it was hard to tell whether a friend was wounded or not, cos bullets left little signs on their entrance.

The cow in the movie was actually shot and died on the set, slowly and painfully, poor thing

Totally boring and massively over-emphasised topic. Sorry.
