If it hurts, it's a direct hit. If it just sort of taps you, it's usually a ricochet. I got hosed down with the latter, so I didn't call... they bounced off of two walls and then hit me in the leg and the foot, I could tell pretty plainly they weren't direct. Otherwise, though, I just called if I felt anything hit me.
Not if you've been playing for awhile. I've been hit direct, many times at point blank from respectable weapons, and didn't call it because I didn't feel it. You get used to it, and the shit you wear certainly lessens the impact.Originally Posted by rossmum
Also, lookit dat shitty modern gettup...real men dress in M35s. Will post pics later.
I've got an entire WWII Canadian kit (combats, chest rig, authentic helmet, all in OD) that I got for like $100 from Cadets, the armory where two of the local Reserve units are stationed was getting rid of all their OD kit since they got all new CADPAT gear. They gave all the old stuff to the two Cadet units stationed there to sell for cheap to Cadets that wanted combat gear for survival and field exercises.
I don't think I've ever worn it for airsoft though, since I have a G36 and MK23 SOCOM as weapons... If I had some era-correct weapons I'd field it all the damn time though!
Should jump on it then! They sell an airsoft Sten Mk. II and it takes MP40 magazines. They also have a cheaper BAR, and a PPSch-41. I am about to splurge on an S.S. setup converting an MP.40 into an MP.41. I've got the Soviet uniform, but ironically enough, playing as a Soviet no longer suits my fancy.
+rep for having the outfit though.
I'd definitely get a BAR if I couldn't find an Enfield NO.IV... Unfortunately I like my modern kit, and the older guns are made by some questionable manufacturers.
AGM is a Chinese company, but they make solid weapons at the price point. You can always change the internals yourself if you are that worried. As for Enfields, I've yet to see an airsoft one (No. 1 or No. 4); I'd do a British WWI setup if I could.
There are a couple of No. 4's around here but they're custom made out of real No. 4's with TM M14 internals.
I can't believe I forgot Operation Mason Relic from last year...
That's just a short teaser of it, full video will come later.

See, I couldn't bring myself to destroy a real No. 4 to make it into an airsoft weapon, same as I can't bring myself to destroy my legit AK-47 furniture (last batch before Poland factory closed in 2007) just to put it on the airsoft AK-47 I planned on buying for it.
Also, M14 internals? On a bolt action? wat.
Also, the field in that video looks fantastic. I like wide open areas, since I play so much CQB. I'm more of a scout in my play style, so CQB isn't my favourite game.

WHY
I would never, ever do this to a real rifle. Especially not a No.4. Especially especially not mine.
They're pretty common up here, a few were made here in Longbranch iirc and a lot of Canadian soldiers brought them back with them.
M14 internals because it's apparently easier to modify the gun to accept AEG internals than bolt action springer internals. I really like a few of the conversions I've seen though, the 6.0Xmm inner barrels for the airsoft BB's are just fed through the actual barrel with some significant modifications around the action. I'm with you guys though, I wouldn't destroy an actual Enfield to turn it into an airsoft gun, technically it's illegal here anyways.
Here are some better images of the armor chassis and blast belt with the pouch configuration I've finalized:
