holy necropost batman! finished! turns out a blaster bottle will hold just over £250 in pound coins Sadly I'm now off to the bank to pay it in because I've already spent it

I guess it depends on what "look" you want to go for and how much time/effort/money you want to expend. There are some fantastically detailed and probably quite time consuming and pricey camo schemes, and they're very impressive, but I wanted a realistic look and so I tried to go for a spray camo that would be applied by a unit on operations. 4 different colours of krylon ans some leave to mask and about an hour in the garden left me with this. For a sniper weapon, how you "scrim" it is far more important, Monty makes a very good point, quick and simple, Good luck!

bright orange is meant to look really nice, like this

Or slowing down.

Paint mine?

How did you get the bolt on the left??!! Good to see us lefties being catered for! Whatever next?? Gingers??!!!

Green gas is propane so using propane will save you some money straight off. It's natural, gas's pressure is temperature dependant so as the weather changes etc the power output will change.

I didn't say spray over the netting, lol. This is what I meant

Motor has no affect on your FPS

Because it's the law.

To be honest you're young and have just started airsoft, you've got plenty of time left! You'd likely be better off with getting a better aeg etc first- your enthusiasm is good don't get me wrong, but if you go out and spend what will end up being thousands having only played for 6 months then you'll have nothing left to look forward to. You don't need to buy the best and most expensive stuff to have a good time.

I'm just glad this young thruster is studying Business Studies and not English...

Eat lots of carrots?

I know what you're saying, but there's no introduction as to who he is or anything just BOOM - first post, blind link. It's bad netiquette and in my eyes no different than the smug faced twats that rock up at my door "on behalf of" nPower trying to make out I'm some kind of loser for not wanting to switch to them. Also - call me pedantic but any shop that would represent itself with a poorly worded, poorly spelled post like that probably wouldn't get my business. All about appearing professional, see.

Brilliant.... thats exactly what I want. Cheers boys, Dan its looks awesome, I want a more woodland effect but thats pretty much what I wana do As soon as I have my gun and attachments I will grab some paint and let you all know how it goes

The trick with the opposite sex is training. Positive reinforcement works well 'Oi sweetcheeks, I'm buying another gun' If she tells you to f**k off, spray her with a water bottle and tell her again. She'll either kick you in the nuts (repeat the water bottle once you've stopped throwing up), or she'll kick you in the nuts till you feel bad enough you buy the gun anyway whatever she says (WARNING: BUYING THE GUN ANYWAY MAY LEAD TO BEING KICKED IN THE NUTS).

Nah Bled, it shouldn't have a disase in the first place Bled.

so hopefully it will show up when i hit the send button..not the best but not bad if given more brain cells i could probably do better helps if i put in the actual gun i was trying to copy

Flames. It's the new Multicam.

They have excellent customer service if you're in Japan. But their official level of support for the rest of the world is zero, nothing, nada. The reason they're still so highly regarded is because by and large their shit doesn't need repairs.

FPS will depend upon the following factors: Gas pressure (depends on the temperature) Release valve: Stronger spring means it will depress less lowering fps, it may also be stiffer at the beginning of the day. Keep it well lubed. Hammer/firing pin or whatever you want to call it: Keep it well lubed as how hard it hits the release valve will also affect fps. I am fortunate in that my gas powered SMLE is bolt action and therefore a lot simpler, but it was very inconsistent out of the box. In fact it was so inconsistent that sometimes it wouldn't shoot if it was too warm as the gas pressure would prevent the firing pin from depressing the release valve enough. The solution was to add washers to the spring on the firing pin so that the release valve is hit much harder. This increases the fps and at the same time makes for greater consistency.

Speak to Marui? Best joke I've heard in years

Yeah it's something like that, been a while since I did physics

Just speak to Mauri and get a stock unit... Best way to go about it... And wait to you get ukara...

thanks for the suggestions, cav im really liking that what krylons was it Monty i dont really like the look of skrim/snakeskin camos

Are the Hk3px4 slides not compatiable? could possiably get hold of one of them cheaper

I use a 18L water cooler bottle. I had £600 in it last year and it was only about 2" full.

It's not a real one, just a really high quality replica. Functions nearly the same as a real one (slightly lower power lasers), IR/Visible Lasers and a Laser powered focusable IR illuminator. I'd love a real one, but the cheapest I've ever seen one is $1400, which is a little excessive I'll do a side-by-side comparison with the VFC when it gets here.

Spray the L96 over with OD krylon and wrap some skrim netting around it, should work a treat.

It's different, but a good different I think.

no, not buying a PTW, bought an Invisiblesight gen2 PEQ15 instead I'd love a PTW, just can't justify the cost:performance ratio.

Angry thread. How the f*ck does a 13 year old have the money to throw at a polarstar

Honest straight up advice is the top priority...... If something is that shagged then would it be worth it for a repair, or better replace so to speak If something wasn't worth the work involved then tell the customer straight from the start If something is perhaps beyond your skill level - not saying it is but if it was then say so With stuff like warranty n such yes you can/should offer it on all YOUR work but if you recomend that the bearings be replaced and customer decides against it then if/when it all goes tits up what do you do: it was fine before you touched it - they say but the bearings were wanked m8 i tried to tell you that but you said no well your the expert you should of changed them - I'm just a noobish kid Jeez - you can see the bollock ache anybody who offers their service, plus can you make my JBBG into a DMR - ergh I might be magic but I ain't a fvcking magician m8 All I can say is be honest n truthful with everyone - even the ar$ehole ones, your quality of work will eventually speak for itself and throw in some honesty/integrity and fair price n advice etc..... Then you will be fine - answering emails/txts/messages but hopefully not too many spoonfeeding answer every possible fvckwit question there is coz they are so thick or can't be ar$ed to look up yup I do other stuff and is a right pain sometimes, wonder why ya bother but in general you probably enjoy all of it and seeing something run real sweet again, and if you do everything as best as you can than just slap it back together - then that to me is a proper level of service. (too many people just wanna do the main bit n chuck it back together quickly) best of luck

Pass. But I'd be leaning more towards JCheese's price than yours to be honest.

It was the assumption that life is that kind Also - where did you get the 25% from? Was it an assumption on VAT/duty? There's online calculators that will let you know exactly what you'd be paying. You also forgot to add the value of the insurance to the import duty cost calculation and there's no mention of brokerage fees either.

I like how you think. You're wrong, but I like how you think.

I've just got my paintball mask off eBay from a company called Paintball-Land.de and I'm really happy with it. I couldn't find anything from the usual suppliers that fit my requirements but this one is perfect, with integrated goggles, with changeable lenses, full face and back of head protection. Looks pretty mean too lol...

Haha fair enough, cheers!

Its a deans connector. Defiantly not a mini. Thats all I've used/come across so far

Actually - if it was a bricks and mortar (or indeed online) store that wanted an opinion I'd have more respect for them posting something in their own name than hiding behind an alias. People are more than happy to tell people what they really think of them online so there's no real need to hide behind a fake name "to get honest answers".

The only picture I seem to have of my F800R, on a very cold and misty ride up the cat and fiddle.

Having someone actually get back to messages and e-mails would be nice... appreciated people can be busy, but a simple fix message could take no less than 5 - 10 minutes.

Unless you live in Northern Ireland

I was going to book and was then told it's alot of money for not much shooting. Add the fact I hate large numbers at games means I don't think I'll bother.

You Sir have offended the honour of my county and I will not stand for it! To answer your 2nd question I name Sean Bean !

Airsoft - It saves lives! Suzuki, just put it foward under the guise of another camping trip, after all, it won't be a total lie!
