Not too fussed about extra mag capacity I don't mind reloading with speed loaders, adds a bit of excitement to CQB scenarios and makes you limit ammo, I do love HPA though for the consistency, and adjustability. Whatever pistol I get it'll be the standard mag with a HPA valve stuffed in the bottom So far then, I'm looking at TM glocks (always loved glocks anyway), HI-Cappa and I've always had my eye on the Mk23 - though I'm tempted to get a TM glock or hi cappa and then get the ASG version of the mk23 and upgrade it at a later date, dunno if anyone has any thoughts on that?

Brilliant haha! I've had some shockers in my time and although I'm kinda handy with part installation etc. I'm hardly a "gun tech", I.E, not good enough to polish turds sadly.

Right then this might cause a bit of a stir.... I searched "best pistol" and didn't find anything conclusive on the first page so here we go! I've been out of the game for a few years, looking to get a new pistol and intend to HPA the mag for CQB use, although if it's good enough for a woodland sidearm for engagements too close for sniping then great... What's the best pistol out there these days? When I stopped playing it was either a TM glock, or the MK23. I'm not afraid of buying aftermarket parts and "upgrading", I'm also not particularly limited on budget (lucky me, I know!), so please include any extras you recommend. Personally, as long as range and accuracy are good enough for CQB then reliability is also a big factor for me. Obviously better range and accuracy is always welcome though. I'm interested in your feedback! TIA, Cal.

I haven't played in a while, but I didn't delete my FB page. Nice try

Legend, thanks it's on the way haha

I suppose for me that's good news!

Thanks for this input - can you point me in the direction of a filter which would work with that unit?

Thanks a lot, I've checked out those links and I still think a pump is a good option for me. I do have fill stations relatively nearby, which is the go-to option, but at that price, a pump would be a great backup option, and at least good enough to fill my tank a little for garden testing.

I've been out of the game for a while, and I know I need to get my tank & reg tested, which I will do. I'm aware that there are hand pumps capable of reaching the bar/psi required for a HPA RIF setup but I always thought of them as mega expensive.... I found this on amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/4500Psi-Pressure-3-Stage-Filling-Warranty/dp/B082W8WZ29/ref=asc_df_B082W8WZ29/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=406571268444&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5270647696550972882&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046387&hvtargid=pla-854206260146&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=84046346862&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=406571268444&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5270647696550972882&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046387&hvtargid=pla-854206260146 Would this suit a HPA setup? I don't mind if the difference between this pump and a more expensive one is simply the number of pumps required to fill the tank.... Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I bought my first house a couple of years ago and all of my free/weekend time has been spent on that ever since. I finally have a lovely man-shed complete with work bench which gives me an area to put all my RIFs back together as most are in pieces. As with anything these days though, I'm presuming 2 years out has put me behind the curve. Prior to this I was running a KC-02 with HPA adapter, "upgraded" inner barrel, rogueworx bolt and so on, absolute beauty but I'm sure it'll need some TLC to get back to it's former glory.... And when I'm feeling fruity I fall back on a V2 Krytac CQB m4 which will also need a good seeing to. As I was winding down from airsoft the ASG Evo was gaining popularity, I presume that's still a staple but what else has happened in the last 2 years which is worth looking into? TIA!

I'd rather have a guy in a wheelchair watching my back who is mentally aware, than some of the 9 y/o kids I've played with who's awareness is NULL. With that said though, inclusiveness should not be solely focused on those who are physically disabled. I agree that making airsoft inclusive is more difficult than a lot of other activities, however the reasons you've mentioned almost come across like the idea of inclusiveness is to make an even playing field for those with disability. Unfortunately that would never be the case, for example, someone in a wheelchair is nearly always going to be at a disadvantage even on the most inclusive airsoft site. That might make them a less proficient player than the average able bodied person... Does that mean that sites shouldn't do their best to encourage them to come along and play? Absolutely not. Turning up and playing airsoft, in my opinion, has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to win, it's about getting away from screens and the monotony of every day life and going outside to have fun with your mates! At the end of the day we're grown men holding toy guns, if someone else (able bodied or otherwise) can enjoy that as much as I do, I say game on!

great read, nice one dude.

maybe overkill was the wrong choice of phrase. If he's hit and moving to a safe spot, someone else on the enemy team may think he's still in-game and shoot him again, this could happen as many times as there are enemy players.

just checked out the video @Rogerborg added of the fella in the wheelchair, that's awesome!!! The sport should be as inclusive as possible and all parties involved (players, site owners, retailers and manufacturers) should all do their best to make it so. One thing I'd say about the wheelchair guy is that a "red dead" piece of cloth or flag in his pocket might do him some favours - that way when he's hit he can drape that round his shoulders and move away (as it takes both his hands to move the chair in a straight line) - then he won't get overkilled by people thinking he's still in-game.
