What, bullshit, I’ve been roaring around MB in a Camero 350 before. No one gave a shit
You’ll be fine scaredy cat.
At the age of 14 I was camping in the Wombat State Forest with a hoochie tarp, some para chord and a few tent pegs. A groundsheet to sleep on, a hip hole for comfort, a daypack for a pillow and a sleeping bag for warmth.
Now, at 60, it’s minimum easy-up tent, springform mattress, -10 sleeping bags, camp chairs… a Winebago goes a long way too. ![]()
Shame we gotta get old…
My daughter - after returning from school camping trip - " I think I prefer to camp in a Hilton"
Now they own a scrub shack in the middle of nowhere and area always busting to get out there
I used to fit my full camping setup/food and clothes for a three day bike rally on the bike.
Now it’s the nearest pub accommodation to the rally site and pub food.
I might have to join the ulysses again
Don’t get me wrong I still go camping but it’s more like glamping.
And I need the car to haul the gear
Jeez you high rollers, I just fill my car up and take a chair, find a good looking bush and lay on the dirt. Fridge with beer done. 2 day camping trip too easy. Eat a rabbit. ![]()
What is the spec on the ACR?
Metal gears, high speed shs motors
Sorry, was thinking the ones for sale at the field😅 jumped straight from notification link🙄
Mine in the vid is still running nylon gears ( only just replaced them ) alloy barrel, alloy cylinder head/nozzle and the grenade launcher drum mag that I made with just a 11v battery

I went to the pub with my friends only to find that pints now cost $17. We decided that beer is now a luxury we cannot afford.
Pints of full strength are still $8.50-$10 max here in rural WA……. you must be drinking at a metropolitan tourist joint?
Some historical pub in suburban Brisbane. Very much a tourist trap, but IMO it has the best pub food in Brisbane.
$7.50 for a pint of dog piss Coopers Pale Ale here.
Where the f are you Fudge? UK or something by the sounds of it.
Yay for M4A1 ![]()
New blaster, first day used and gearbox cracked.
Taken back under warranty
Second time used and stripped pinion/bevel
Now I’m building it all into a nylon gearbox shell and setting everything right.
Is a love job for a young fella who comes to the field👍
Public holiday on the GC, so I went up to Sunnybank and checked out the Guns Modify range. Whilst they are nice, just not that much of an upgrade than the GEs (@Jas might fight me on this
) to justify that price for me.
What did blow me away was the TM Beretta and 1911 - just felt premium and precise even if it’s not a metal slide.
Paint finish, trades, materials and functionality. They aren’t even in the same league. The extra dollars are definitely justified between the 2 having owned both.
But it all comes down to budget and taste.
However the jump in price is far cheaper than trying to upgrade a GE to a similar spec as the GM.
But if someone asked the best choice currently I would say spend the little bit extra and get the RPM Tech MWS.
Ah, the ol’ Well M4 CQB gearbox of destruction… ![]()
Saw a bin full of those gearboxes next to a blaster workbench once… yet the one I had hung in there for quite a while. Must have just got lucky. ![]()
That’s what I put it down to, or getting rid of that falcon leaf spring in it and replace the head with alloy for a decent seal. The most shot blaster in my collection. I wish it would die already ![]()
What I did today… drenching, backlining, weaning lambs. All sheep sheep today even though they are worth fuck all now. More of the same tomorrow ![]()
