Holy. Fucking. Shit. That looks so much better than I thought it was going to.

battlefront is all i want!!! its the only reason i miss my ps2...

how much????

So this evening i met the guys from B.L Tech. tested out the Gun Noise Sim. I think its a game changer. Full write up to follow.

I often rest the very bottom of my stock very near the top of my shoulder, it's a pain to shoulder the full stock on my full shoulder with an Osprey on, and when no one else is going to the effort of doing it properly either, it just seems like a disadvantage. Brings the sights to your head, instead of head to the sights, easier, faster, more comfortable; the only reason people don't do that with real steel is precisely because of the recoil, if real guns didn't recoil, then all these "shooting stances" would be totally different. I've never seen anyone hold anything like a bazooka though, not ever. When I show my guns to family members they tend to tuck the stock under their arm pit and then try to become on-the-spot contortionists to get down the sights, or they'll do this really weird thing where they lean back a stupid amount and hold the gun out in front of them, as if the sights only work from 3ft away lol. The guns have no recoil and we're playing a game though... Who cares? Unless it's dark looking down the side of the gun is often just as easy as sighting in, sometimes easier because you can see the immediate effects of the hop better. I'd expect everyone to act accordingly at a milsim even though, it wouldn't be much of a military simulation if no one was doing anything the correct, real life way.

Skeletal support is a legit thing, the idea being that you support the weight of the rifle with your skeleton opposed to muscles which take the gun off target as you fatigue. I've used it with my m14 when taking standing long shots, but I don't see it having an real use in airsoft, guns are usually not too heavy and the ranges we typically work with don't involve a long time aiming. I think it comes down to people not knowing how to hold guns properly though.When teaching my girlfriend and sister to shoot I've seen them shoot in some hilarious stances!

This cant come soon enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fewc0ddX0wE

Avalon(VFC) Bravo Company gat all nice n' lightweight. I've had guns with far shorter barrels and handguards weigh far more than this thing does now, super fast and easy to point.

The only thing I'm interested in is the new star wars battlefront. I may cry if it gets cancelled.

Ok, so this is just a little spin off but I intend to make this a detailed review of this absolutely shitty gun. Intro So I saw some people on this site who owns a Double Eagle M901c, the shorter compact version of the M900A. So i thought I might as well do a review before someone else makes the mistake of buying this awful gun. So you may be thinking, "Why did you buy this gun? Why not a G&G raider or an SRC?" Reason being is that I didn't know much about those brands at the time, plus the website I bought this from said it had a metal gearbox.... and I was lured right into the booby trap. I asked my mum to buy it for me. It normally would have costed £120 on those shitty websites like JBBG or BBguns4less but luckily the website I bought it from sold it for only £60 which was what lured me into it. As this was my VERY first AEG, I did not know what to expect, so I kind of trusted the "metal gearbox" it claimed to have.... What's in the box man? So, when the royal mail man knocked on the door with a box, I was so excited to see if it was my gun, and it was. But seconds later, my sister got a phone call that her friend died.... nasty coincidence... but nevertheless, I took the box upstairs and left it there on my bed and went to my sister's room along with my mum to comfort her. But an hour and a half later, when my sister stopped crying, I came back to gun, excited to see what lies beneath the wrapper. I tore the brown paper apart like a beast and I saw the gun box; There was a picture of their product on the box and a sentence at the top saying " AUTO . SEMI", "Automatic Electric Gun" and "Enhanced Hop Up System"... Yeh right. And some chinese which I could read. (obviously). So, when I first opened the box, I saw the AK47 with my face just going, "Omg, wow, my first AEG is sitting right in front of me". And since it was my first AEG, I didn't really know what's good or bad but it looked just damn amazing despite the horrible two tone orange. So in the box is a metal high cap magazine is of decent quality; it's still working as of now, an "alright" sling although i'd never use it, a shitty 1050 mAH nickel metal hydride battery, a shitty bag of BBs, a.... well, decent charger that i'm still using, and a decent manual which has some chinglish but tells you what you need to know with both versions. Oh yeh! And I also forgot to mention some decent safety glasses you get with it! Quality Of The Stuff At first, it felt so good to be able to hold an AK47 in my hand since it is a 1 to 1 scale. It's not the heaviest gun at 3kg but it has some weight to it. The plastic on the gun is, well, a little shiny and you can clearly see the seams in the stock but the overall plastic doesn;t feel too cheap, I mean, it can withstand a little bit of force, but not a full force whack on a tree stump. But overall, it feel smooth in your hands but if you have sweat on your hands, it'll slip of the hand guard easily. As you can see, it has so much orange that it makes everyone want to puke. That's right, it's a puke machine. So this gun is just your standard AK, hop up is where the bolt is, Ak selector switch, trigger guard, AK mag etc. There isn't that much metal on it... but nevertheless, the metal parts are: the dust cover, trigger, trigger guard, bolt, outer barrel, selector switch, magazine, and.... that's about it, not that much and the dust cover also feels like cheap pot metal which I could probably cut with scissors. The Dreaded Gearbox Oh god, this part of the review.... So, on every single feckin website, they claimed it to have a "metal gearbox", THAT'S RIGHT! A EFFIN METAL GEARBOX. BUT when I opened the gun a bit, I saw this: Seriously? What the fudging hell is that? IT'S A PLASTIC GEARBOX! PLASTIC I SAY! So I was very disappointed after seeing this but at that time, I never knew Double Eagle was a shitty brand. After many hours of tinkering and taking apart my very first AEG, I finally got to the gearbox. Took a while but i did it. I felt proud. And it looked like this.... As you can see, it has a plastic shell but a metal motor cage and metal selector switches which I think is pretty decent. When I took off the motor, I got to this stage. So, with my newbie level of gearbox knowledge, I decided to go ahead and open the gearbox. I had no idea what was in it or how it worked so I kinda just tore off the gearbox cover... and the inevitable happened... The whole thing just blew up; the spring jumped out, the spring guide flew out my room and down the stairs, pieces went everywhere because of that. Washers, bushing, gears flew all over the place and the anti-reversal latch flying into my face. I was just like, "What the fudge just happened...." So I took my time to collect everything that fell out and piece it back together roughly like the photo above. I had no idea how the anti reversal latch went back on or the trigger assembly. But during that time, I had a little look at the parts. The gearbox has; plastic gears (obv), metal washers, plastic bushings, a shitty piston head, a shitty ported piston cylinder with has almost no air seal with the piston head, plastic string guide and an M100 spring but I believe the spring is stronger than that due to tests. It took almost 5 hours for me to piece this piece of crap back together because of the stupid anti-reversal latch kept jumping out. So after two days of firing and putting about maybe 1200 BBs through it, I couldn't hear the gears moving and I only heard the motor whirring away... so i opened the gun back up again and this is what I discovered: A shitty motor with a METAL pinion gear, a strong spring and plastic gears, GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, THE GEARS TORE THEMSELVES APART. Especially the bevel gear which was almost toothless like your average gramps who drinks tonnes of coke and smokes through 50 packets a day. The shredded bevel gear So i immediately bought a metal gear set from Airsoft-Club which arrived in 3-4 days I think, as I put those parts in... anti reversal latch didn't fit in partly because it was a set FOR AN M4. SO, immediately bought an AK47 specific bevel gear from airsoft club which arrived in good condition, placed it in and viola! It finally worked! But then i realised, the M4 sector gear wasn't compatible with the AK tappet plate...... ARGGGHHHH!!! WHY ARE YOU MAKING MY LIFE SO DIFFICULT?!?!?!?!? The gearbox with the M4 sector gear Went back to the Airsoft club website and bought an AK47 sector gear, it arrived and bingo! It worked fine. JESUS, so much hard work! So after some more buying of parts; spring guide, it finally worked but one thing. The trigger response was awfully slow, the sound of grinding metal was even more painful than white noise or your bully teacher scratching her vivid nails onto a dirty chalk board. So yeh, I was guessing the spur was doing that. It honestly took almost a second for a full revolution of the sector gear. It was that horrible. I lived with the pain and agony for about 4 months before I finally sacked it and for my birthday, I got a CYMA CM02 metal gearbox and a CYMA hop up chamber with a bucking from Airsoft club. The pain was finally gone, I could finally rest in peace with a decent gearbox in my gun... BUT NO. THE STUPID DOUBLE EAGLE AK47 BODY WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CYMA GEARBOX. The beautiful metal gearbox When I discovered this, I was like "OMG! WTF HAVEN'T I SUFFERED ENOUGH????!!!!" SO immediately, I got the feckin tools out, a drill, alot of sand paper and some scissors. I wrapped the sand paper around the drill bit and held it together with a bit of blue tack, then kind of sanded the plastic of the Ak body down till the gearbox could finally fit in it. Took hours but it was worth it. But that was not the end of my FECKIN TROUBLES. The Hop Up, The Terrible Little Shit In this Gun Right, I gave this part a bad title for one massive reason that pissed me off so much more than the fudging gearbox. IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER HOP UNITS IN THIS GUN. REALLY?! I MEAN REALLLYYYY????!!!! WHY AM I SUFFERING????? IS THERE AN END TO THIS? At that point, I seriously considered chucking the gun out my bedroom window because it was such a bad upgrade platform. But on my good will, I kept it safe in my arms. When I got the gearbox for my birthday, I also got a CYMA hop up chamber with it. The hop up chamber The CYMA chamber would not fit in the gun due the to original being larger than this one. So the parts to screw down the chamber onto the front end was somewhere the CYMA hop up couldn't reach. (Don't think dirty) Plus, to add to my problems, THE ORIGINAL HOP UP CHAMBER DOESN'T FIT IN THE CYMA GEARBOX So I was back to sanding down the plastic on the hop up chamber until I could finally with the hop up could finally work with the gearbox in unison. So yeh, I bought the hop up for nothing, there was nothing i could do with it, so I just left it there in my drawer for days to pass. Until recently where I took the bucking and put it into the shitty hop up chamber which improved performance. OK, SO! This shitty hop up chamber isn't your regular AK style hop, It's considerably larger, so the barrel in this is unique, no way will you get a tightbore for this. It is composed of entirely plastic, a cheap one and the bucking is a kind of shitty hard type, which is shitty. Basically the Hop up is horrendous and the worst you could ever get. Also, about 5 months later, it stopped working in full auto for some reason. Full auto still fires but the BBs are not feeding into the shitty chamber.... I have tried many methods of fixing this but none have worked so far... so I'm stuck with semi for now. Performance With The Shitty Stock Parts So, with the stock 8.4v 1050 mAH battery, you can only achieve around 650-700 rpm but if you top off the battery and put it in the gun straight away, you can achieve 900 rpm, which is why the original gearbox failed. The battery is wired to the top, but upon getting my new CYMA gearbox, I took it to my school's tech center and rewired to the stock and bought a 9.6v 1600 mAH intellect battery which it can now consistently achieve 900 rpm. With the old gearbox and original hop up, the accuracy isn't too bad with .20s; you can get the job done. You can hit a man sized target at about 30m (I measured the distance), after that, it starts to stray right quite a bit until about 42 - 50m when it drops. Honestly, my cheap shotgun can shoot further than that. But with the stock CYMA gearbox and CYMA bucking and plus cleaning the barrel (which I discovered that I should do), the effective accuracy increased to about 45m being accurate with .20g and there is little curving to the left or right, it drops about some where over 50m, maybe 60m but I don't know. But with .25s the accuracy increases a lot and sometimes it can keep going straight with no curving whatsoever, in other words, pinpoint accuracy. This unique barrel in the gun works alright. The Final Conclusion DO NOT EVER GET THIS GUN, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS GUN, ALL YOU ARE BUYING IS A SHIT TONNE OF PAIN AND HARDWORK AND SUFFERING, something not anyone would want, unless you have no life. CONS: 1. Internals are shit, all of it is shit 2. You will have no life if you buy this 3. Doesn't have a metal gearbox as it claimed to have 4. It's basically shit 5. YOU WILL SUFFER 6. Terrible upgrade platform 7. The internals are proprietary, although it will take A LOT of modding to fit other product brands. PROS: 1. The unique barrel is actually alright ..... that's it. My rating: -9999/10 But seriously, it's a bad gun overall. What kind of a stupid dumbass would buy a shitty AK47 made by a shitty brand who claim it to have a metal gearbox? Seriously? Oh wait, that would be me. EDIT: Also forgot to mention that when the spur gear made the horrible grinding noise in my plastic gearbox, I replaced it with the old plastic spur gear which was still intact surprisingly; it still had most of it's adult teeth, until I put it in the gearbox and ran a test.... You can probably guess what happened when 2 metal gears collide with a plastic one.... yerp, that's right, the plastic one died instantly on the pull of the trigger... Also, from then on after I got the CYMA gearbox, I have upgraded it on the way quite a bit; I've changed the piston head, cylinder and the o-rings and now the air seal is so tight that if you put the nozzle in your nostril and pull the piston, IT WILL suck out all the bogies and shit your nose has been collecting for many years. Then you can push the piston through again to create a bogie blaster to annoy your siblings. Other upgrades are; changed the stock bevel gear for a steel one from Airsoft-Club (as you can tell from now, i'm quite fond of that website) which has more surface area for the pinion gear to cling onto for a good turn. Gears have also been shimmed perfectly; the stock gears had so much wobble you could probably use them as maracas. Also got rid of the weird green lubricant that they used and replaced it with good quality silicon grease. Also put a washer on the plastic spring guide and I guess I don't need to buy a metal spring guide since this one is still pretty intact. Done some more stuff to it but can't remember from the top of my head.... So in the future, I am planning to either sell it or buy a G&P metal body and front end kit for it so that I can finally use my CYMA hop up chamber and gain full auto again. But i'm not sure that original DE mag will fit and feed.... SO! FOR ALL YOU KIDS OUT THERE, DON'T EVER BUY THIS GUN! IF YOU HAVE THIS GUN ALREADY, GET RID OF IT! THROW IT IN THE TRASH, INCINERATE IT, OR SELL IT TO SOMEONE BEFORE THE GEARS DESTROY THEMSELVES BECAUSE YOU WILL BE IN A WHOLE WORLD OF SHIT ONCE THE GEARBOX DECIDES TO GO KABOOOM. IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIVES! THE GRIM REAPER OF AIRSOFT GUNS WILL HAUNT YOU! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!

My current lower face mask is the standard mesh type, which is great for protect but I find makes getting a good cheap weld a little hard. Does anyone know of or use a soft lower face mask? If so do they still protect your teeth? I've seen one or two but they look more fetish get-up then Airsoft protection. M.

I'll just drop this here for you kids to argue about. http://www.bbbastard.com/66-pearls-cnc-super-heavyweight-sniper-round-8-rounds.html Anyone wanna test them for us?

All decent airsoft guns can handle 9.6v NiMH batteries stock,even a TM FAMAS from 1990. 9.6 NiMH batteries give much better ROF and trigger response than 8.4v batteries. Make sure to get a good smart charger as well. You can also go for a LiFE or Lipo battery,7.4v 25c lipo is ideal,Dualsky is a good brand,you can find them in most RC shops. Make sure to get a smart Lipo balance charger too,and do some research on safe Lipo use as they are not as tolerant to abuse as NiMH batteries but the performance gain is so much worth it. Similar with LiFE. Most come in 9.9V,bridging the gap between a 7.4v and 11.1v lipo. They are bit more tolerant to abuse but still require a LiFE balance charger . again,make sure discharge rate is 25c or below since above you will need a MOSFET to protect the gun;s electrics for long term use.

The location in the last section of that video got called pyro corner, I got so many BFG kills there !!

An Olight m21x-l2 flashlight along with a magnetic mount so i can mount it to any of my airsoft guns/air rifles in seconds

nononono, there should never be an air bubble. People don't purposely put air bubbles in to reduce weight, if anything, they're being arseholes for trying to save money and actually reducing the weight further, so they're probably not 0.2g, more like 0.18g. If they want to make it lighter, they'll use a less dense material which most likely means shyte quality. But to the honest, I have to admit, the finish on the outside of Bulldog bbs are actually OK, but on the inside, they're no better than shitty .12s.

finally ordered a set of tigerstripe dbu. now to wait on the post...

You need to modify your mesh mask. You can pull off the elastic out area and you'll find its just glued onto the mesh. You can then cut it to fit your goggles face better and bend the hell out of it until its nice and snug on your face and doesn't get in the way of the rifle butt so much. I personally found a big improvement after I modified mine and I highly recommend others do so as well. All I really needed was some glue (I used a hot glue gun which was perfect but about £8 including sticks) and some wire cutters (I used my dremel most of the time). My cheek weld is much improved now pushing on my mask doesn't result in my glasses being pushed out of the way.

great, when I say wear a gum shield, everyone goes "HOW THE FUDGE DO WE COMMUNICTAE EH? EH? EH? EEEHHHHH????????????????!!!" When someone else says it, they go "Hmm, valid point." I call racism.

Well, Diamond is the third hardest known substance. Wurtzite boron nitride being the hardest and Lonsdaleite being the second

The worst thing is that they're actually out of stock...

got it from ebay i did try ex-mod but after taking my money they took a week to tell me that sorry its not in stock and would a 170/100 be ok for me lmfao im 6 foot 7 for a start and have a 40 inch weist so wasnt gonna happen so i just took another look on ebay and found one there messaged the guy and he got 2 in that morning in my size this is the ebay page i got mine from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mark-4-4a-MTP-Osprey-Body-armour-vest-set-Grade-1-Most-sizes-/251494989701?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&var=&hash=item3a8e44ff85#ht_1558wt_1113

5000? more like it.

8 bbs for £6-7? Lol, nope. 50-100? maybe.

Called them, seems they can't ship abroad as it has real parts. shame really but oh well! oh by the way, they where pleasant as ever and went out of their way trying to help me!

It's not part of the sling system. There's a magpul rsa sling mount right above it,and knowing CK that would only be there if it was to be used. It's one of those draw string toggles rather than a fastex buckle to tighten it. The string (bungee cord) is actually an LVOA bungee, it's basically there to give more grip than a metal tube front end would normally give on it's own. Possibly provides other features too that CK might elaborate on.

Anyone who changes their anchor point on a regular basis has obviously not been told that concistanty is the key to accuracy..

Not more powerful than CO2 though- CO2 operating weapons usually have an extremely high muzzle velocity, meaning they can't be used at sites in some cases; and even if you could somehow regulate the FPS with some sort of valve, sites still wouldn't let you use it, since it's CO2, and there is a large mistrust of CO2 weapons. TL;DR: CO2 weapons are not trusted by sites because they have a massive muzzle velocity, however they are good for target shooting

When super grand masters look like a bargain in comparison you know a product is too expensive to be worth it lol

I've been playing for quite a while all over the country... it's a lot less common than most people seem to think.

RIP Rick

either that or they're aiming by looking down the side of their barrel and walking their BBs onto the target, not nearly as effective as just zeroing your sights and aiming properly.

I hold it like a proper gun. Why wouldn't you?

For any future articles I write I'll be using this guide:

The clone AFG off eBay. Warrior T-Shirt in OD.

Personally... If I had a reasonable shot, but didn't take it to preserve your safety... And you then turned around and shot me as a thank you... I'd 500fps you in the crotch. Twice. Bang rule or not... The dude got the drop on you. ... Take your hit...

He didn't shoot you. Not because sniper weapons can't hit you that close, but because he was minding your safety. It's only fair to respect not only this, but that he was better than you and he got you by surprise. And yes, he should have had a secondary.

Cause a 500 FPS shot to the face at 10m tickles.

I'd have done the same,I thought snipers "had" to carry a secondary..

An award winning sour dough loaf from an award winning artisan bakery near me. Oh and 6 magpuls I got for £13 off ebay

That flash mag i ordered from HK on the 3rd arrived today. £11 and 4 days wait - that's amazing! Grapes, clementines, peanuts, cashews, hob-nobs, green & blacks hot choc and cadbury's instant hot choc (a mix of the 2 makes a really nice combination), cranberry & raspberry juice, green olives, stilton and gv tobacco... think that was it today

Jesus Christ, are you going to crayon over the entire forum? Do you see me or anyone else posting pictures of their weekly shop? No. Because it's not relevant, neither is a neon genesis action figure.

This is NOT a good choice for a first rifle. http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=268&products_id=8296&osCsid=bd5296770e1832cdf7068553b3321e6e GBB means gas blockback. Not nearly as reliable, takes a lot more care, more expensive to run, mags will be expensive, rare 2nd hand mags, only lowcaps available etc. etc. My opinion is that you should own at least 2 AEGs (primary and spare) before getting a GBB. At least if you intend to skirmish. GBB are plenty fun thou, but get your AEGs first! and if I started out and wanted reliability (as oppose to m4-tacticoolness), I'd choose CYMA AK, the VFC/LCT clones (such as CM.045 or CM.048). Will be way more reliable than anything else you can get at a beginners budget. Great out the box performance as well.

looking good, what rig is that?

well come on alex we're waiting:D
