Worst: tough one, there's my Cyma MP5 which never fired right from the day I got it, would work perfectly at home but get to site and it'd fire about once in every 3 or 4 trigger pulls, currently in pieces in a box. Then there was the WE Hi-Capa 5.2R, the one with the meat tenderiser on the front, loved the look of it but just couldn't get on with it in-game, sold to a mate who was really happy with it (odd bloke). There's also my SRC G36C (Gen III) I bought second hand from a mate for £80, boxed, with a load of mags, was pretty good up until the gearbox decided to eat itself. Best: not any easier! There's my Silverback SRS 16" Sport with a few choice upgrades (thank you annual bonus!) which is just incredible. My WE G18C with the "fun switch", Mad Bull hop & Crazy Jet barrel, pretty much the range of an AEG. AEG wise, I adore my Krytac PDW MkII, light, compact and (with a Lonex inner barrel & Prommy purple) insane range and accuracy. Then there's my aforementioned G36C which went through a bit of an internal transformation after it broke, too many tweaks to list, I now run it on 0.3s, I can't wind a hi-cap fast enough to keep up with its rate of fire and it's literally like a laser (especially if I put the tracer on it), it's pretty much a one shot = one kill RIF now, and it's running at around 320fps on 0.2s. I honestly don't know why but a lot of folk don't like to be on the opposing team to me??? 😈

Glad you've got it sorted, might have been helpful if they'd explained that in the instructions 😂
-
A quick bit of online digging and it seems that it might be possible to set it via the app. Have to admit the instructions for this are pretty rubbish!

I'm not sure this'll work with a scopecam but I know a lot of this sort of kit does it in a similar way: Insert a freshly formatted memory card into the device and turn it on; Turn it back off and remove the memory card, put it into and adapter and plug it into a PC; Open File Manager and there should be a text file, this should contain the date and time; Open this file with something like NotePad and edit to the correct time & date and save the amended file; Remove from PC, put back in device, power up and hopefully any new recordings should now show the (almost) correct date & time. Then again I could to totally and utterly wrong!! 😂

I'm presuming for LiPo, if so then your best source is going to be (reputable) RC shops, i.e. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/electric/chargers/dual-output/quad-output/built-in-balancer?

Yet another order fulfilled with your usual excellent service: SHS High Torque motor (one of the last things to upgrade on my AK DMR) ordered on the 22nd, despatched on the 23rd, arrived on the 24th, fitted and tested that evening. Absolutely faultless as always! There's a lot of much, much bigger companies could learn from this sort of service.

Losing UKARA due to no skirmishes (Covid-19)
Philby21 replied to emilianoksa's topic in General Discussion
There was literally just seven of us, we all kept responsible distances. Seriously, I was a lot closer to a lot more people while doing a weekly shop yesterday. -
Losing UKARA due to no skirmishes (Covid-19)
Philby21 replied to emilianoksa's topic in General Discussion
Very glad I got my site renewal in today. First game back in six months and now probably the last for quite a while. -
Suspected that might be the case. Have you tried contacting the clubs listed in the UKPSA Map? Doesn't seem to be very much about though.
-
Depends what you mean by north west, there's the Time Trial Pistol Club that Bomb Up in Warrington run on Tuesday nights? Might not be quite what you're looking for but I've been tempted to give it a try myself.

Are we really dedicated airsofters or....
Philby21 replied to emilianoksa's topic in General Discussion
Probably a degree of both, but then I've also got three quadcopters, two RC cars, multiple computers, two games consoles, several motorcycles (with another purchase planned in the next few months) and I'm sat here with a Lego Saturn V on the coffee table in front of me! 🤣 But I do like getting out there and playing the game too, just wish the weather had been a bit more helpful just recently - not the rain, the high winds which kind of make the game much less fun. I know what you mean about guns growing on you, currently considering an AK for a DMR project and I'm a huge fan of my G36 and M4s. -
@Sniper780, @Iceni - thanks for the links guys, main post updated. Hoping that this list will grow and help others. @L3wisD - would it be useful to pin this under the other retailers thread? Cheers, Phil

The idea for this thread has been bouncing around my since before @mzjango started his retailer thread but full credit goes to him for spurring me to get off my backside and do this at last! Like everyone else here I'm always on the look out for gear and although most airsoft retailers do sell kit there are a lot of good companies out there specialising in just clothing etc. Obviously there's the usual Ebay but sometimes you want somewhere dedicated with a good range, hence this thread. Military 1st - all sorts of tactical/survival clothing, boots and accessories, regularly do discounts, great service and rapid posting Flecktarn - very wide selection of camo gear (and other stuff), good place to start if you want it to all match! UK Tactical - best place to start for Warrior Assault Systems (WARRIOR10 10% discount code seems to be a permanent fixture), stock plenty of other gear too British Military Surplus - excellent range of surplus kit, definitely genuine kit - right down to the scratch commando jumper! (also worth searching out any military surplus places locally) Soldier of Fortune - military and re-enactment clothing & accessories, also stock airsoft but the gear is their main business Grey Shop for Russian military clothing and equipment/kit both genuine and reproductions they also sell airsoft related parts e.g. gearbox shells, hops etc also external parts for AKs but a fairly reliable company and site one caveat some stuff can be expensive Demych's Gear Bakery for rare/hard to find Russian kit lot of old gen stuff, the owner is also quite active on Facebook Army World (Poland) Some really cheap gear on there. And some oddballs as well, the site can be a little frustrating, and the postage can be high but offset if you pick up the good deals (other helpful direct links: German army, Polish army, UK army, Dutch army, US army, Revision Desert Locust Goggles, Smith Optics OTWs) This is probably just scratching the surface so feel free to offer other suggestions and I'll try and keep this up to date. Cheers, Phil

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Philby21 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Just ordered a new belt from Military 1st for a tenner, and no, it's not because I'm getting (more) fat! Looking to go to my first game since my accident this weekend and was trying my new PMC loadout, only to find that my nice new belt doesn't fit through the loops on my new trousers! 😠
