*submits anonymous report to HMRC* A large, asthmatic man called Kevin who wears glasses with dirty lenses and talks entirely through his nose will be knocking on your door shortly.

All ready for this weekend; ready to ambush some GIs with their own gear! Been going down the LBE rabbit hole, watching god knows how many youtube videos and reading a bunch of real steel shooting articles to make sure my setup is as good as it can be and has everything I need. 8 rifle mags (stubby m16 mags or kar98k mags), 4 spare pistol mags, 1911, knife, and a WW2 camo scarf and a bunch of scrim netting in the butt pack for sneaky sniper shenanigans, plus two canteens for water for sustainment. It's also pretty well balanced, with the right side only being slightly heavier than the left because my Bell 1911 is heavier than the rubber knife, though if I use one of my TM 1911s the weight difference is negligible (but I'll be using the Bell 1911 because it's incredibly fun to shoot) I also only just learned that I need to wear my LBE a little bit higher than my waist-line, so... yeah. Learning!

Short answer is no. MWS and WE replicas use a trigger box setup that won't fit a real spec trigger like that. VFC, GHK, and Viper Tech are closer, but the hammers are substantially different on those as they're designed to rest at about 30-45 degrees rather than straight vertical, to mitigate wear and the force needed to reset the hammer. On all three the hammers are also wider than real spec, to spread the force on the bolt carrier as it resets them. You could cludge it in there a bit by welding an extension onto the firing pins but it'd still run far worse than stock, especially as the hammer spring will be very stiff compared to Airsoft ones. I gotta ask: why?

Mmmmmm!

As dodgy as it seems, Bullgear know what they're doing is pretty cheeky so I think they're going to do all they can to keep you happy should any issues arise. It's within their interest to keep their business going and avoid any customers slating them and destroying trust.

I wouldn’t bother Slide shorts are primarily designed to provide padding around the hip and thighs for abrasion when sliding (hence the name) Many if not all current designs will have groin padding If you’re going to be diving around then they are worth it, otherwise it’s another layer to get you hot & sweaty - especially as they are likely to be worn as an extra layer on top of your underwear and under your trousers Baggy trousers perform the job without adding to what you wear, and easily absorb impact Bear in mind that airsoft BBs are fired at maximums of either 1.3 or 2.5 joules, which compared to paintballs maximum of 12ft lbs / 16.3 joules There is the added difference that paintballs are a larger frangible sphere vs airsofts small solid sphere which means the burst of a paintball disperses energy. I have been shot a lot, I enjoy the adrenaline that comes with that (also a painkiller in itself) BBs are a short sting, paintballs are more of a slap. I’ve also taken more dick shots than I would like - in photography paintball designed baggy trousers do the job fine - a padded groin that is loose and baggy. For CQB play I opt for a box in cricket shorts (they make me feel enclosed, but when you’re being shot at from a couple of feet away on the stairs they help! Paintball tournament referees typically wear a towel hung from their trousers which deals with absorbing impact, I’ve considered that when photographing but don’t need it when trousers are baggy, and as a photographer I’m not in the middle of the field but on the boundary. (On practice / training days I would often go into the middle of the field for photo opportunities, and may be laid or squatting directly in line of shot, but still didn’t need that level of crotch protection) …….., Protect your eyes, protect your fingers with gloves, your ankles with supporting boots. For your body loose clothing does the job Unless you are a diver & slider I would not bother with slide shorts, but perhaps look at paintball trousers that have some thicker padding at areas such as knees, thighs & crotch ** note that I write in English, therefore I say trousers, they generally get listed in American English as paintball pants Avoid the tight skinny jean types of paintball trousers - they look stupid and don’t have the padding , also beware of “paintball training trousers / training pants” as they may be thinner and lighter without the padding When you look up paintball trousers you will see scary higher prices (compare those shorts at £55 to trousers at £100 / £150) Shop around, particularly for late season sales and last years range etc - or even better look up eBay and vinted Another option is workwear trousers - check out your local DIY or trade counter and see what they have in heavy duty work trousers that provide multi layer / padded zones etc

I, on the other hand, love it when they lie about the contents and say it's a "car air freshener" and a £5 "gift" so i skip import tax. Ayooooo

To be honest, QD in airsoft tends to be iffy. Sometimes the replica QD mounts are made too big, other times the QD attachment points are made poorly. The only way to get a "guaranteed" solid QD is unfortunately real steel I've found, which obviously gets expensive pretty fast.

I worry about you.😂

Good evening all, I have been looking at slings etc.The idea being that if a CQB situation occurs, i can hang the rifle and draw my sidearm as I have a SA LVOA an its fairly long. Got myself a viper 2 point sling and I then got some sling points from Amazon, these ones: Amazon tat They arrived and seemed solid, i inserted them and tested them out. To my horror, one of them disconnected itself; luckily, I managed to grab the foregrip and save the rifle. I investigated further, and a weak tug on these popped them out incredibly easy Does anyone know of any relaible QD points I can get I do have a video it it popping out really easy. Is this just a poor QD point or are the slots on my gun faulty? 20250831_234903 (1).mp4

I use a cricket box . It'd be an unlucky shot that hit the nadgers , but it does happen now and then .

Definitely didn't buy the Mac 11 spare parts bundle in the classifieds so I can have 3 functioning Mac's and some spares for when they inevitably break... One day I'll have as many Mac's as I do mags and will be able to throw them at the opposing team when empty and grab another fully loaded one to use 😂

I use one of these (Albeit more for looks than its intended purpose but not having to worry about the jewels is nice!), it velcros to your plate carrier - There's also clones on AliExpress that have poppers that can loop through molle. They're relatively cheap and protect well!

I did indeed, I didn't get very far. There are some good videos out there, but putting everything back together again just created different problems!

I sold my Staccato on here over the weekend, I won't mention the buyer for obvious reason however today they informed me they received the pistol and the slide catch had snapped off. I checked the pistol on the 31st (Sunday just gone) when taking photos to list it, including taking the slide off and showing a photo (below) of the slide and the pin was in one piece, no damage (The pistol has been owned by me since new and had half a mag put through it on the day it arrived - Since then it's sat in a glass display case with my other pistols) The pistol was sent in its original box, with all of the original packaging foam to secure it: Screenshot (Above) taken from Jaeger's unboxing to showcase the foam. The buyer has confirmed the box arrived undamaged so it's unlikely to be from ParcelForce booting it around, so I come to you people for suggestions on how this piece could have snapped in half? The buyer said he pulled the slide back, the slide fell off and the pin fell out. I would love to work out how to avoid this in the future if/when I sell another Hi-Capa style pistol 🤔

TBH I don't think anyone needs one in airsoft unless there's a fetish club booking, but... go full stitch counter and get one of these https://www.surplusandlost.co.uk/product/british-army-surplus-pelvic-protection-mtp-codpiece-ballistic-groin/#:~:text=Home / Combat Kit / Protection /,Surplus Pelvic Protection MTP Codpiece Ballistic Groin

They'd have to be a bloody good shot to get my small todger. Seriously tho, it's not a bad idea. I bet it would bloody hurt, and I'd hate to disappoint my wife. 😆

Currently looking for groin protection for airsoft. I know people say it is very rare that it can happen to be hit in that area but I would rather be safe than sorry. Looking online, someone mentioned crash slider shorts: https://www.bzpaintball.co.uk/hk-army-crash-slide-shorts I see there is some padding around the groin area on these. Anyone else have any recommendations?

Bought a cheap Ali Express chest rig and did little few little upgrades with bits I had already to make a nice quick detach rig.

Have you looked on YouTube for tips for repairs?

Are there any GBBR on the market that will accept a RS ELF drop in trigger? Cheers y'all

Hello all, Anyone know of any techs in the Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire area that can diagnose/repair GBBRs? I've got a KWC Uzi that I bought off here a few months back. Unfortunately it turned out to be a non-firer, so I'm trying to find someone who might be able to have a look and see if it can be saved. I've tried a couple that are mentioned in this sub-forum, but all so far either specialise in AEGs or aren't keen to take it on due to parts scarcity. Any suggestions are much appreciated! Many thanks, Greg
