Sensible advice. As opposed to conversations that go like this: Customer "hi I'm thinking I would like to upgrade my spring please. I'm not interested in high rates of fire or stupid FPSs" Tech "nah mate, you need some siegetek dual sector gears and a high torque motor and replace the bearings with uber leet super hard diamond ones made by NASA. Of course you'll have to change the barrel, the hop, the shims, the gearbox case and the outside of the rifle but it'll be AWESOME" Oh and someone that will actually deliver on their promises, not charge for a spring change and then just lop a couple of coils off the one that the gun came in with. Realistic fixed price servicing. We all know it doesn't take 3 days to change simple component so don't try and charge me for three days work to change a spring and wire in a MOSFET.6 points

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Airsoft_Mr B and 4 others reacted to Mr Monkey Nuts for a topic
I have done a fair bit of research on them and have yet to find anyone who has said they are sh*t. There are plenty of people who shouldn't ever be using a GBB gun reviewing the G&G guns slating the body for being plastic and moaning about not being able to buy hi cap magazines for it, but none seem to berate the performance, quite the contrary from my reading. We all know gas guns are very much like marmite. At the end of the day every GBB is a fairly basic system that is replicated across most of the gas guns, there isn't a lot of new or innovation between any of the brands, GHK have fitted it into a gearbox shape that drops into a reciever, I predict that they are still the same principle parts that would be going into their normal guns, just in a different package. The main difference I can see is that it doesn't seem to have as big a sliding recoil like other Gas guns do. The thing to remember is that this is an older design, from 2011 / 2012, tweaks and improvements have been made since from the things they have learnt from making and developing the G5 and the Hepatitis (or whatever it was called) There are videos showing it push over 100 shots from a single mag, just as the G5 does. At the end of the day, Its an £80 bit of kit, I'm not expecting the world, but it should be a good way to judge if I genuinely like gas, or if i'm just romanticising before spending £500+ on a G5 and a set of mags. I will be sure to give it a full and honest review once its arrived, and be assured if it is indeed sh*t (although I highly doubt it)I will tell you. [Edit to Add] it also seems to lack the overtly functioning bolt system, that some other brands do. I predict that is to keep size and complications down allowing it to fit different brands of receivers. In all honesty that is a big plus for me, how many times do we read about bolts and guides bending or snapping because they are made of paper, people spend as much money on steel parts as the did on the gun in the first place.5 points -

How do you set up your Hop up? Range
Snakeeyes75 and 2 others reacted to Samurai for a topic
If you want to actually hit what you are aiming for, use heavier BBs. At least 0.25 or 0.28+ if your gun can handle it. I usually set the target at 40m. First thing is to set the hopup. Don't use the sights, just look down the barrel to check the trajectory. People usually prefer one of the two: set the hopup to get the flattest trajectory with no raise in it. This is the most predictable trajectory. I prefer the other way, a little bit of raise in it at the last part. This gives the most range. Something like the difference between the green and the black graph. (Yeah, I know it is an other graph, it's just for the shape of it.) If you are happy with the trajectory, set your sights to the impact point on the target. First set the iron sights (horizontal, then vertical), then the red dot or optics if you use one. After you are done with that, spend a lot of time on different distances too. Learn how much you have to aim below or above the target on certain distances. If your hopup is fine, you don't really need to touch it again, except if you buy an other brand of BBs, or the temperature/humidity changes significantly. Check before every game if everything is still ok. Usually you don't have to touch the sights, just the hopup to get the same trajectory as you set the first time.3 points -
TR15 M4 Raider-L Blowback AEG G&G
Airsoft_Mr B and 2 others reacted to Lozart for a topic
The indoor/outdoor thing. It's more about HOW you use the gun and not so much about WHICH gun you buy. Every swinging dick and his dog will try and tell you that you need some kind of 6 inch long uber high ROF machinepistol for CQB and that anything else will have you at a disadvantage. Ignore these people for they are talking shite. A standard length M4 is absolutely fine for CQB. The extra barrel length will help with range when you go outdoors too. Not to the degree that a full length rifle will make a difference over an MP5K for example but if you want one gun to do both then you won't go far wrong with anything around similar dimensions to the standard M4. Also anyone that tells you a SCAR is great for CQB "because you can fold the stock" is also talking bollocks. The only reason that the stock on SCARs or AKs or anything else made that way is so that they take up less space for storage and for carrying in vehicles. The rest of the time the stock should be extended. A SCAR is good for CQB because it's a great gun and not significantly bigger than an M4. Ditto 416s et al.3 points -

So I'm sat in a hotel at the moment watching Second In Command. It's awful. Like, really awful. So far I have witnessed EVERY cliche know to filmkind. And did you know, that if you cut the power cables to a cctv camera - the front of it will explode? Also, guns don't have recoil (who knew, everyone who's paid for a Recoil Shock has been ripped off). And EVERYTHING ELSE. Bad guys ALWAYS stand right in front of their enemy without armour of barricades or any substantial cover, because they've got a hostage and that makes it totally safe. The American embassy has a compound with a 10ft concrete wall and a solid steel, foot thick gate. BUT, because the enemy are coming, on foot, with mixed assault weapons, they feel the need to put a wardrobe against the front door to make sure the baddies stay out. The hero is a suave tough guy with a troubled past and a strange accent, and sure, he did that thing that time where he got everyone killed, but he NEVER misses and he NEVER needs to show caution because he's such a master tactician that he makes Shih-Tzu or whoever it was (who wrote the art of war) look like a three year old mashing his head against a keyboard whilst playing My Little Pony Island Adventure. And there's oh so so so much more. It's almost as bad as Olympus Has Fallen where the SAM system deploys out of the top of the whitehouse (in the opening scenes where they shoot down the AC130, it literally pops up out of the oval office so it must be awful cramped for Obama seeing as he's three billion f**king feet tall). I'm only watching this s**t because babestation isn't on yet... What's everyone elses favorite awful war films?2 points

Consistency with pricing is probably the main point I'd want, also actual timescales of when something will be done by rather than be fobbed off with the old "I've got a lot of other orders" excuse. Be nice to have a rough estimate rather than waiting for weeks on end with no change.2 points -

Quick Questions & Simple Answers.
CobraTacticalSolutions reacted to Finius for a topic
Ladies & Gents, as it has been suggested by several people and requested several times recently, I have decided to create a new Quick Questions thread. We have two threads previously like this, but I've decided to make a new one with a little more structure. When you ask a question please do so using red writing that way, it's easy for people scrolling down to find a question. When you answer a question, please quote (this will make sure the person gets a notification and they can click on it to open your answer straight away and it also lets people answer questions from a while ago if there have been new questions since then) the question and reply in blue writing so we know it's an answer. If you feel a question simply cannot be answered in one brief post, or is open for a lot of debate, create a thread to discuss it, and link the thread in your answer so everyone can find it. This should keep it clear what's what. Thread will be periodically preened and cleaned, and I may, if the whim takes me, create a section in this post with all the questions and the best answers in expandable boxes so everyone can see them forever and ever and ever. If your question or answer don't follow the requested template, I will either fix them if I like you, or delete them if I don't because no-one should have any difficulty getting it right after the first couple of attempts. Here's an example of how I want this to look: ====================================================================== Hi everyone, what am best gnu? ====================================================================== Best gnu am banana. ====================================================================== Go wild kids.1 point -

Right - don't quite get this but here goes: They are not UKARA reg and they 2-Tone a fair amount of their guns. So I ring them and ask them about not painting a gun, yes we can do that if you can provide valid defense I got UKARA - yup I can verify that sir.... Great, but apparently they will only sell RIF face to face OK let me get this straight, I got defense and you have to check that, saves you painting gun But I can't buy from you online unless 2-Tone - even though you can verify my defense, my details & paypal I hardly sound like some 13yr old but even after all this they are not budging it seems I have to drive over to Slough even though you verify I am on the level and saves you painting the thing So I use up my petrol n all that - even though I have not had to do this crap for: LWA Fire Support Pro Airsoft Zero One - though did have to fill out pyro form & scan it back to them Airsoft World BBGuns4Less UK-Airsoft plus any others I forgot since getting UKARA ffs BOLLOCKS - found it much cheaper elsewhere also with free delivery bought in 2-Tone, save my petrol and buy some dettol or Krylon instead jjjjjeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz Always thought they were a bit better than other BB sites but now realise gotta always have 2-Tone even if you have UKARA unless you drive over to Slough - bit of a 8itch if you live up North/Scotland I mean the other 2 BB muppets do Black guns if you got UKARA and OnlyBBGuns will sell you a RIF face 2 face so if they check/verify and delivery is going to UKARA address - wtf is problem Still I suppose they have their own rules n guidelines to follow - but sounds a tad ott in my book1 point -

Or you silhouette yourself against the backdrop, or add loads of black mags and carry a black gun, or refuse to use cover properly, or put yourself against bad colours, or make the world's supply of noise, or don't stow your kit properly, or move too quickly, or pick bad routes...
