I think it's widely accepted that the best sniper so far was made by Corporal Craig Harrison's mum and dad.

No it really isn't.

Anyone else expecting a 'help me fix my sniper' thread in the near future?

If you go for an M1911, in the name of all that is sacred DO NOT buy the WE.......1911 style GBB pistols have poor enough efficiency due to the small size of the gas tank in the magazines (as they're so thin), and the WE has to push back a heavier metal slide as well, further ruining it's efficiency. The best bet for an M1911 would be a TM, as they're extremely gas efficient (lightweight plastic slide) and they have the magic all TMs have. And you can be proud you own a TM.

So after a lot of back and forth I decided the best thing to do was to actually visit a retailer and make my decision. I was adamant I wanted a G&G scar but holding it and having it in my hands it just didn't feel right for me (great gun but just not for me) After much deliberating I decided to go with the norm G & P M4 MK18 MOD 1

I recommend he saves up some more money.

*ahem* - {sound of well worn and scratched record starting to play} Get out and use it, decide whether or not the gun is limiting your performance or if you are the limiting factor and then AND ONLY then start looking into performance or aesthetic enhancing modifications. Buying stuff now could well turn out to be a waste of time, effort and money. {scratchy record noise - fade to black}

Make coffee, not war.

Done!

TM do loads of aeps, probably more than they do gbbs to be honest. Get GBB if you can, I think the tms are all similar in cost.

Nice man, Get some KAC irons on it though. I used to have the magpul ones on mine and it just looks wrong.

Standard rails all came with the gun, grips seem comfy on it Can wait to test it out on the field!!!!!!!

Magnified optics on a CQBR?! Heresy.

New toy... ...Another M4!

WE E17 GEN 4, extended mag and predator ultra gas

buffer tube on an AK makes TZ a sad panda

Just managed to acquire a pair of G5 mags for £40 inc p&p, thats a rough saving of ~£70..Win.

42 quid's worth of Krylon from Patrol Base.

I may have accidentally just ordered a 13.5 inch keymod rail .... oops

You could get one of these to wear it with while you cook:

I'll take 20!!

Yeah, frontowiec are good - their prices are decent and they don't make it back by charging stupid money for shipping. More stuff for me: G&P Metal Body, Steel Top Cover & Saw Style Grip f/ AK - $53.00 King Arms Enlarged Lever AK Trigger Guard - $2.00 King Arms 150% Recoil Spring & Hammer Spring for WA Infinity - $2.00 (looks handy) Milspec Monkey Bunny Girl - $2.00 Milspec Monkey Gothy Girl Pirate - $2.00 +$8-odd Shipping from UNCompany They are having a sale on some decent kit so well worth having a look, even though their order process isn't as straightforward as just click 'Buy' - you have to wait for their confirmation email. I bought those springs just because they look like they might be useful eventually and for 2 dollars, may as well... C.M. Aluminium Long Fore Grip (DE) - $21.00 LCT Bakelite Effect Pistol Grip f/ AK-74 - $15.00 (look at this ) -$3.00 Discount for using PayPal + Shipping = Total $43.70

Just to provide another view point, folks don't actually havep to dress up like navy seals to play airsoft. #justsayingbro Only messin' of course. IMO, the MBUS work pretty well aesthetically. I'd swap the A2 grip and tirgger guard pretty sharpish because there's a lot of potential ergonomic gains there, but each to their own obviously. Be wary of attached-a-ton-of-stuff-to-rail-including-a-VFG-then-just-grip-magwell syndrome though, it's a highly infectious condition. What brand is it out of interest?

Is that definitly a Mk18, rail looks like the 12" RIS II? or maybe its just me. Looks more like a block II m4. Nice all the same Edit: It is a Mk18, think its just the angle making it look longer

Best airsoft Sniper rifle= Matilda. My Iron Airsoft SMLE. This is purely on the basis of appearance rather than everyone else's silly accuracy criteria though

Not as good as GBB's but will do the job. Cyma Glocks are fantastic.

Yeah, iPod.

is that the standard rail for that gun? or did you do it yourself / buy second hand? Loving it anyhow, buy a magpul stock. Btw, not sure if it is the same with G&P but after a day of playing with my G&G my hands hurt so much because of the pistol grips sharp edges, but then again yours was probably twice the price

I say again. Bullshit. No amount of tarting up or increasing power will enable you to send an airsoft BB 450'. The faster a BB goes the more wind resistance affects it, the only way to overcome that is to have heavier BBs. Whoever claims to have done it is talking shit.

buy a camera! JK seriously nice gun, guessing you use an iphone camera (mine is shit quality as well )

450 feet? I want whatever you're smoking.

Get a vsr, job done. It'll be pretty crap but at least it has a lot of potential.

Currently learning this set

as en Ex Royal Engineer there are a few of the more technical trades that can get you to be more in the actual engineering side, where you end up designing things and having them created, it is more Construction based but there is telecommunications and Design. plus if you make it to Lance Corporal then you can apply to the professional body and become a certified engineer with EngTech after your name for life.

Yeah I agree, its the mutts nuts, and MUST be done, no one else will have one the same, that's for sure! Nice work Monty! Although using the foregrip may be tricky with using a drum mag?

I like it. No, really... I mean, i get it that it's not normal. But it's the very novelty that does it for me... Thanks for doing that, against your principles and all!

http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/shop/british-militaria/wwii-1940-s/new-wwii-wartime-and-1950-s-army-320119.html The WW2 version is cheaper. They are usually hung on the outside of the backpack and make a great sound if you manage to hit them

It's the most vile stock I've ever seen, I'll do it now.

The way I see it, if there is a lack of skilled UK airsoft design and manufacture, that's an opportunity... It will be a niche area, but as with most anything, skill and quality are valuable commodities that people will pay for. One of the things worth thinking about is the various rings that make up Airsoft. Guns and RIF aren't the whole hog. Design a better lasting battery, not only might airsoft appreciate it, Apple might be buying your patent. And then there is the mask/goggle system... Nobody to date has developed a goggle system with an inbuilt HUD and software allowing proper force command, blue on blue detection etc in Airsoft and Paintball. The military are trying of course, things like the Q-Warrior. And some CoD fans tried to get a smartphone based App allowing you to play airsoft just like a game. But anybody who designs this for airsoft and pb will really have something the monied of the sports might shell out for eh... Not to mention the potential real world buyers (like army and police forces etc). But these are mere brain farts. Get trained in as many skillz that will keep you employed as you can. If you try to make it in airsoft and fail, you still need to make the rent.

Woohoo! The 1st one I bought got lost in the polish post somewhere in Warsaw... ...but the seller not only sent me another but added my choice of small present! Soviet tank driver's gen 1+ night vision helmet with all the trimmings! I'm so excited! I hardly dare touch it just in case it doesn't work, because I'm so chuffed to have it that i'd be almost suicidal if it turns out to be fucked - the ebay seller deals in ex military electrical and electronic gear though and they advertise them as tested working. I've got a battery charging now... fingers, toes & bollocks crossed! Edit to add: the pressie? A German Army hard carry case, perfect for pistols: I'm on a roll me just bought: Russian Army PM Belt Holster Olive SPOSN - £15.02 Russian Army Spetsnaz AK Sling SPOSN "Trehtochechnik" Olive SSO - £13.21 +£12 P&P ~ chaka98 fleabay NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's not working - emailing for tech support now :'(

Try a thicker oil. Aerosol ones are very thin in order to spray well, that means the oil has to be applied more often. Look for silicon gun oil in a dropper bottle. be warned, you may get some adult sites when googling it, as it has other uses apparently

You'll never get to being a proper geardo with that kind of attitude!

maybe? http://www.popularairsoft.com/news/st2airsoft-impact-tooth-guard

that would be not nearly as good as the G&G. heard them to be a bit pants. IMHO, get the scar. So many M4 people, me included, I should have saved up £100 more to get the scar, Honestly, it is a great gun, great externals, great internals, will need a spring downgrade which is fun, easy to do and plenty of tips on youtube and we can help of course GET IT!!!!

Marui EBBr number 1, the outdoors-y type.

A pair of Hardcore Scoria safety boots for the workshop. They're surprisingly comfy and easy to run in, could be good as a pair of boots for CQB
