Comes with a Cerokete coating. Looks like TM is going all out on this one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olCr4zjAm6k&feature=youtu.be&t=1m47s Release date & price-TBA Also some new things- HK417 in the works! http://img01.militaryblog.jp/usr/f/i/r/firstameyoko/IMG_8292.jpg M860 breacher http://www.hyperdouraku.com/event/hobbyshow1405/images/05.jpg Two tone AEP line http://img01.militaryblog.jp/usr/f/i/r/firstameyoko/IMG_5059.jpg Hicapa AEP! http://img01.militaryblog.jp/usr/f/i/r/firstameyoko/IMG_5059.jpg (top right corner) Shell holder http://www.hyperdouraku.com/event/hobbyshow1405/images/21.jpg Pretty good improvement from last year's shizouka announcements. GBB M4- hoping the new system is good and not a pile of pot metal crap. TM are pretty good when it comes to GBB system design so I have high hopes for this. Expect a high price from all the fancy stuff like CNC work and cerokete coating(And of course the TM brand name) M870 breacher,as expected. hopefully the new cylindrical gas tank will require less long term upkeep that the current one. A hicapa AEP is a nice addition,adds some variety since AEPs are slowly gaining popularity it seems. 417 recoil shock- Can we expect a new gearbox design? The larger buffer tube might allow a beefier recoil mech too. Might not be popular as a DMR platform since TM recoils are over engineered in some ways so modding is hard- but the battle rifle style would be very cool.

My wallet lost a lot of weight today

Then all you need is the Tusken loadout

Airsoft is always popular with youngsters but how many become long term players? Several of my sons friends started to play after he did. all but one stopped after a few months. At the sites we go to there seems to be a regular 'churning' of new young players. it's the same with any hobby or pastime, you dabble and then something else catches your attention. It's all part of growing up.

You seem to say this a lot. Are you the Forum's official UKARA expert

Unless you do a lot of CQB, there is not much need for a pistol. Pistols are generally just a cool accessory. If you do a lot of CQB then you want a MK23 Socom. The TM one if you can afford it, the ASG or HFC one if you're on a budget. These are non blowback pistols that are very quiet (especially the TM) and pretty accurate. If you just want a pistol because pistols are cool, find one you like the look of and then ask who makes the best version of it.

My Soviet VDV RD-54 pack finally repaired and with the additional correct 4 x AK-74 mag pouch and 1.5L canteen: Basically a seriously hammered piece of kit. If i'd known it was quite as knackered as it is, i may well have declined but when i get around to distressing the extra mag pouch and canteen pouch it should look TDB with my hessian sacking covered helmet... which i should also photograph i spose lol! The lid in question, an SSh68:

PARDON??!

Be honest and call your hits. Talk to people, everyone is generally friendly. Don't talk about stuff like COD. Keep well hydrated. Mags out in SZ. Make sure you wear decent eyepro. Never point your RIF at anybody in the SZ. You wont need extra BB's as the site will supply them. Do research and read our guides Take food because you do get hungry. Tell people about AF-UK! Also welcome to AF-UK! Enjoy your stay!

It's called a jezail, my father was gifted one out in Saudi, more of a decorative sniper than anything else, and the metal work tended to be of a very low quality. Ruddy murderous in the right hands though.

I used to only do CQB. a BFG is more beneficently, IMO. but then again, suppose it's personal. and no, best pistol is not necessarily what you think looks cool. Mag captacity, gas capacity, weight, feel, quality, aftermarket parts, spares, price, reliability etc. etc. My priority is reliability and funfactor when it comes to sidearm. and if you dont have "Mags, gear or a better AEG or maybe a 2nd AEG", then yes. but the fact is, you dont need your 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th aeg either. or your 30th mag.

For me, a shedload of glowsticks and some blue force gear tenspeed pouches. Good shout mack, you won't be disappointed! remove the quick change battery rubbish immediately though, wire it to deans and use 7.4v LiPo, cheaper and MUCH better trigger response.

Something that launches timed gas grenades. GLM, RPG, whatever.

I am bit more practical than that. I dislike the M4 because of the high stock, but I also recognise that M4 magazines are vastly better than anything else in terms of options. The SCAR L combines a lower stock which is better for a mesh facemask and can take M4 magazines and has the rail space to fit just about anything. It might very well be an ugly looking gun but its very practical from an airsoft perspective. Internally its pretty upgradeable as well, the only real drawback I feel is the battery, which is of the small type due to that folding stock.

Everything's down to preference. I love the look of AUGs and P90s but a lot of people despise them. I don't like m4 platforms but (almost) everyone has one haha

TM M4 uses a new gas system-why would they bother adapting the system to use another manufacturer's magazines? Makes no sense. And crying proprietary is stupid because it's a new gas system. Not a lot of companies make aftermarket mags for TM GBBs since the TM ones are often pretty good so I would not expect too many,maybe prowin or some company like that churn out some. Spare parts on the other hand will hopefully be plentiful.TM GBB internals are generally pretty decent (Aside from parts like the nozzle cup and nozzles themselves) so I'm hoping the GBB m4 is not a pile of pot metal internal crap like some WE models and too many WA type guns.

Similar situation to me, my son had been to paintball a few times & saw people coming in from an airsoft skirmish & thought it looked much cooler that Paintball. he started asking me for a BB gun so I started looking into the legality of the whole thing.....found the community & decided to have a blast myself......we now do it once a month as a father & son thing. It's a good escape from being a grown up for a day.

Save an extra £30 and get a G&G top tech.

So relaxing...

Get a WE Glock 18c. The blowback is awesome and the full auto is deadly.

I'd personally be more inclined to go with the more military look of the original movie over the street clothes of the second, it looks more like a load-out.

A Webley service revolver.

non blowback seems a bit of a waste to me. as you say, it's mainly a "cool accessory"... so get one that blows as hard as possible and makes as much noise as possible - as fun as possible in other words!

^ I see your thinking Bright, and it's certainly sensible advice, but surely if a kid went to your local site with a RIF and someone said "where did you get that RIF?" They could just say "my dad's mate who used to airsoft gave it to me."

To be fair I imagine nothing will happen unless he takes it out and waves it around in public, thus proving the aforementioned dickness. It's illegal to sell, import or manufacture a RIF. It's the latter that he's done, and it doesn't sound like he has any defence should the police wish to prosecute him for doing so. Again though, will they ever know or care?

Don't buy a pistol. You don't need it. Spend your pistol money on more mags/gear.

i think it could work. in fact its the sort of thing i think about, currently thinking of soing some form of carpentry course that could help with such skills... so today rather than just thinking about it i started on the wooden grip for my shotgun as the long plastic one is doing my head in. after a lot of drilling filing etc it finally kinda fits(really should have picked a bigger bit of wood in the first place...) but it now fits smugly. looks crap like but it hasnt been shaped yet so hopefully before i go to my evening extra gig ill shape it a bit and maby get it finished, if not i should on friday...... tis already an improvement though...

Settled on 180mm - it will be long, but I'm 178cm and my hands come down to 10cm above my knees so it shouldn't be unwieldy. 32mm wide and interior access so I can tune it. £14.98 posted from Combat Airsofters. Only 1 left And an SHS M90 spring from Bullseye Country Sport - £9.99 posted

The grips are made from scratch. The wood is ochre with silver wire inlay. The centre piece is a silver tree of life that's set into the wood and sealed in flush with the grips.

FANTASTIC - now I got spam from JBBG about ratings/review seems they got a load of really bad ratings and slating on truspilot for jbbguns = 3.1 out of 10 - wow that high ?? now they asking for rating on eKomi about recent orders 2 orders messed up wrong or missing bits - jack squat support & I got mugged - at least 3 keyrings and 2 chocolate bars CHUBBY ATE MY CHOCCY BAR - that is the last straw Jambwow No I am not sharing the link coz each link is bespoke to a single transaction and I am sure some on here would love to give them top marks jeeeez reading some stuff on trustpilot - not a lot of happy bunnies out there - more like Rabbids - BBBBBAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

I went alone my first game with a cheap trishot, a pocket full of shells and a well worn pair of dpm trousers. Suffice to say I was shown many times why even though shotguns are awesome you will be cut down more often than not haha Tips for first game: 1. Hydration! You will be running around (hopefully) so you will get dehydrated. Take a large bottle of water with you and leave it in the safe zone. 2. Call your hits! It's a game of trust. If you cheat you'll be labelled as such and possibly banned from future events at that site. If in doubt, call yourself out. 3. Take what you need. Yeah it's fun to roll up in full combat gear like some dudes, but for a first game (with no UKARA) you will only need a rifle, some BBs, face protection and sturdy boots. 4. Rent your gun till you get UKARA sorted. Self explanatory really. You won't be allowed a shiny black toy till you've met the UKARA criteria. 5. Talk to people. Great ice breaker is to ask about their weapons - everyone likes to show off. 6. Read Ian's excellent guide: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ Above all enjoy yourself and have fun P.s. Welcome to the site mate

The internet I regularly browse through the threads to gain knowledge, sometimes I'll watch Ed's videos, James yeager's gear reviews, ect. Exciting, I know.

When you look at it logically you have a toy that is considerably less powerful than most airguns that don't have the same hoops as you can walk out to a shop right now and buy a semi auto air gun. They have the hoops purely because it looks like something more dangerous and its for airsoft and not another similar hobby like paintball. That doesn't really make any logical sense, a gun that is dangerous you can just buy but something that can't remotely kill someone requires proof you intend to use it in the appropriate places? These laws and the application of them wasn't really about actually making things safer, it was about being seen to do something. Its easy enough to make the argument that any reasonable skirmisher should be able to meet these requirements yearly and a new player doesn't have to wait very long at all. Just joining a rifle club with a police check can take 6-8 weeks these days so its not like 2 months is out of the question for an industry run scheme. The hoop however distorts the retail market. Either making rental guns far more important and lucrative than they would otherwise be and causing the sale of a lot of two tone weapons as temporary replacements. You could argue the current system is very much advantageous to the retailers because they often get to sell two guns purely because of UKARA and how they interpreted the law. I don't think its a really arduous hoops, its mostly impacting on new people coming into the hobby and making it more expensive for them to do so by about £100 where I am (either the gun is ~£100 or rental at £30 a game). Having to lump down rental money for 2 months or buy a beginners two tone isn't awful but its also increasing revenue to the airsoft stores and sites. Then what wolfarmouries does is allow you to buy a RIF from them and they will bring it along to any game you prebook, so you can avoid the rentals and still use your gun in games. That is great, its also a wonderful way to ensure all players at Bunker 51 have to buy their gun from them, helping to make them much cheaper overall than their competitors even if they are charge more for the gun itself. That is just another little application of the implications of this minor hoop that makes stores that run sites and run a similar scheme get to increase their yearly sales a little even if they are more expensive than the others. Its not that the hoops are really bad, I don't think its reasonable to argue against the 2 month minimum or the 3 game yearly limit they are in my mind perfectly reasonable measures. But we also have to recognise that some sites charge for getting the UKARA form stamped for a yearly membership to their site as well, just another way in which UKARA is used. We do have to recognise it distorts the retail and site market and its being used to fleece us of more cash, and puts a barrier in the way for new players who are disadvantaged by it.

I'm just going to point out that the law and UKARA are not the same thing. The law doesn't say you have to play anywhere for any amount of time, UKARA does.

Another area where it isn't consistent is air guns. You can get a 6ft/lb (8j I think) pistol that fires either pellets or steel BB's and get them in real steel look and feel without any UKARA, the only provision being a face to face sale. Admittedly its not an assault rifle but if you get a considerably less dangerous airsoft pistol (1j and plastic BBs) its got to be two toned. That makes no logical sense at all. But as a responsible adult and airsofter I jump through the governments hoops when it comes to firing and owning firearms. I bring no attention to myself, I don't share the hobby with my family or most of my friends and I just keep it under wraps. Our country has a cultural aversion to guns because some horrible people have done some horrific things with them. For now at least I am happy that I can still get a RIF airsoft gun and go run around and play solder and shoot at least some real steel guns in a rifle club.

It is retarded isnt it. A normal person wouldnt see the difference between that, an airsoft gun or a real steel.

The most unacceptable is been told to f..k off when ever we have found a problem in their products or services. Saw many retards on earth but its my only first time to see "people go full retard" literally.

Their engineer is a guy on Facebook his FB name is Phil Thatblokewiththescar some FAT idiot who actually knows naff all about fixing AEGs he knows about as much as my 17month old son I fact my little boy probably knows more than that fool he's some sort of Gun smith for an airsoft place probably a gun smith of those plastic pistol that shoot the stick out with the little flag on saying Bang. I have bought a number of AEGs from this company and all have resulted in breaking themselves in one way or another but having bought from Pro Airsoft I've had NO problems at all and have received brilliant services from them. I just don't understand why Airsoft suppliers can be SO DAMN RUDE as normal day to day retailers aren't like that, you wouldn't buy from Argos lets say and have something faulty to be told to F off by them they wouldn't either replace it or refund it.

Nah, none of it will go with any of my loadouts
