April Fools Day Boinger Bash 2017 --- Event and Payment Details

[NewPaul]

Hull cartridge Paul

Pete

Excuse my newness Pete, does that mean the 'made in England' you were looking for ? Wouldn't mind a shoot of it at The Bash if you can let go of it for a bit

[TonyL]

Bloody typical, got to miss all the glamour.
This Bonneville, is it a 120, 140 or one of the modern ones? Do like a nice Triumph. Julie looks ok.........but next to a Bonneville.....
Pete

A modern, Hinckley one, Pete.

[Rickenbacker]

I've been "throwing some rounds" down the range today. She's rockin over 500fps with steel BB's, thats nearly 3 whole foot pound!

The WTC is the perfect accompaniment and rested from a bench I managed a single hole at 10 metres. I then fired the rest of the mag and made several more single holes, many on the same target. Oh yeah!

I had intended on buying a bag of plastic toy soldiers to make a 10m fun range for the bash, but in reality the accuracy makes it more feasible to dress Bongo in camo and make him run around a bit.

As for a sidearm, I'm finding the Kedr Tyrex a little on the weighty side, so I'll probably pick up a Baikal Mak on my way up.

Again!

Hrm... I'm only getting 400fps on the 1st shot - reducing to 300fps by shot #4, and that was firing quite slowly! I think this competition could be all about who can keep their Co2 the warmest. And you're not noted for having much restraint / patience to be fair

I can hit a ball of rags about the size of a football from 6 feet away, so that's not too bad. And I'm finding 3/4 of the steel BBs to use again... I wonder where the other 1/4 goes...

Course of fire: I'd suggest some kind of timed shooting, at targets something like this at about 10 yards. If nobody has trestle tables going spare, we could wheel Mick's new gas barbecue down range and balance our tin cans on that!

You have a KEDR sub-machine gun?? Bloody hell...

I don't have a Soviet sidearm, so I was wondering if it'd be alright to use my new Tanfoglio Limited Custom, that a friend gave me () or a good ole' Colt '45?

And what are you wearing? I was thinking Camo trousers, plus a black special forces Norgie that I got off a bloke from, ahem, Hereford. If you know what I mean.

[flyingfish]

You can have a go by all means Paul.
I was meaning the lack of the "Made in England". It's my first foreign air rifle (HW98).
I won't have to send her back when we leave Europe will I?

Pete

[flyingfish]

A modern, Hinckley one, Pete.

Not so bad that I am missing her then. If it had been a Silver Jubilee T 140 v in the US export spec I would have been there 😁😁

Yeah, didn't you have a go with it? Its a real hoot with decent blowback. You have to be careful though, if you get the selector switch in just the wrong place it will fire all thirty rounds in under 4 seconds.

I still have my camo onesie, so I'm sorted. Oh, and one that looks like a dinosaur with a detatchable tail. Which is handy.

You could hit me with your rhythm stick anytime........ (I do love a good Welsh....)

Christ, no, I didn't know anything about it. That looks absolutely nasty. I read on the Wiki, that they made 3 of them for the Russian ministry of tax... TAX! I always miss out on the good stuff.

Get back to your lathe, ya dirty bugger.

[tinbum]

Get back to your lathe, ya dirty bugger.

Good luck with that! He chewed through his chain and has been missing for nearly a week now. I'm hoping that the signal from his ankle bracelet shows up soon. Ron and Big Vern are on standby in the van with tranquilser guns.

[TonyL]

Good news on the bongies tone will look forward to having a play :-)
So tone now your the Boinger bash pimp can i ask why you haven't sorted a male model for the laidys and tinny? Seems a bit unfair to me
I guess we do have a Chippendale coming lol

Yep, I was also going to suggest our Chippendale....until I saw Mel's post!

Thinking cap on........

He's a wild one mind, isn't it?

Oh, by the way - I wonder if you do a shortstroke extension for the Diana 28mm piston, which I dare say would fit my Chinese Remington?

[TonyL]

Picking up a new (well to me) baby tonight. A bit worried though. An HW 98, I cant find made in England written on it. Its on all my others.

Pete

HW98...lovely.

But don't get telling the "other" Pete, looknohands, about it!

Awesome!

[TonyL]

Never mind the Bash, I reckon there'll be a queue of applicants next time there's a vacancy at your place Tony! Only because they have a love for motorbikes, obviously...

And they'll rapidly lose their enthusiasm once they discover what the boss is like, matey!

Fear ye not, Mr Tinny.

If the transponder doesn't reveal his whereabouts, I think we'll all have a pretty good idea where the Captain can be found very soon!
