  2. I've noticed a fair bit of that in this thread. If anybody is going to post something and then link to a site in HK, they really need to bear in mind the $40+ in shipping, then 20% VAT then handling charges and maybe import fees (cost dependant). Just saying that you can get something cheaper from WGC or eHobby etc is pointless if you only mention the base price.

  3. After looking at someones bb bottle in the safe zone for about five mins I had to ask " why have you got green tea flavour bb's?" ...as the words left my mouth I remembered mine were in a old Irn bru bottle, but at least got to watch his face as he worked out how to explain it was just a bottle and his bbs weren't flavoured

  4. Lots of people make the mistake of thinking their gun needs upgrades when actually they need to learn how to shoot.

    Airsoft Helmet

    That "clicky adjuster" makes it far more comfortable. Sometimes it really is worth paying a bit extra. FMA for my money.

  6. Cheapest thing is going to be either mesh goggles or shooting glasses. If you want actual goggles look for army surplus ESS Advancer V12s or Revision Bullet Ant - Should be able to find them for around the £25 mark. Whatever you do just don't pick up the cheapest pair of unbranded goggles on ebay as there is a chance a BB could punch right through them. Trusted brands are: Bolle, ESS, Revision, Oakley and Smith Optics(probably a couple more, those are the ones I remember) - The lenses should be rated EN166 or ANSI Z87

  7. Walking between games at my local, see a kid (couldn't have been much older than 15/16) trying out another player's fast helmet, kid then utters "It's so light, the one I have at home is made of kevlar and is way heavier". Sure, of course it is... Earlier in the day, same kid is spotted during the safety brief giving his younger brother who was less than 4ft tall, and not even 13 years old, what looked like a lolly...until out comes a matchbox and the younger brother sits their casually lighting up o.O We all sit at the other side of the brief jaws dropped.

    New gun. Recoil shock?

    Systemas aren't anything massively special in stock form, certainly not range/accuracy wise; they don't perform impossible feats of physics defying-ness that no other AEG can perform. Its' highly debated and there are many arguments and defendants on both sides, some say the hop unit they use is a lot worse than your average V2 AEG, some say otherwise. Either way, the range and accuracy you'll get from a TM that's less than half the price of a PTW will certainly be at least very close, if not potentially much better. Not as good trigger response, but that can be improved on down the line if you really find the stock gun so lacking in that respect and use a lot of semi. Plus you get blowback and recoil with a much more tactile bolt catch on the TM guns. Though PTWs do of course have that really easy quick swap cylinder which is nice. The 416 is one of the best options for a recoil gun if you're shooting lefty; AFAIK it's the only AR style recoil gun with ambi selectors. Bolt release is only on the left side of the gun though and that can't be changed, not sure if any ambi mag releases will fit. The SCAR has ambi mag release, only 1 side for the bolt release. The G36s have no bolt catch/stop on empty and both the selectors and mag release are ambi.

    New gun. Recoil shock?

    There's been one or two threads along these lines recently. Basically they are reliable guns, pretty accurate and are fun to shoot. When I talk about accuracy I mean hitting man sized target easily at 50 metres on a measured range with a bit of wind. Not "my gun outranges everyone on site because i've decided it's true" which you see a lot in airsoft To me they are worth the money, but it's up to you to decide if you'd rather get a recoil shock or maybe spend less and get a cheaper gun shooting really nicely instead.

  21. What. You mean to tell me that I actually have to run? Oh my god all these years of Xbox training and drinking monster energy are worthless! Haha, sweat is inevitable with or without the mask, but explaining that red mark on your face to everyone at work then only to given a random nickname that that could of been avoided if I only wore that gimp mask by viper.... Plus the mingers would benefit as paper bags are very last decade.

  22. 2 words sir..... BIN IT soz if that sounds harsh but it won't last - won't last very long if you increase voltage too much it has a plastic - brittle plastic gearbox and youtube is full of them self destructing on 11.1v lipo's so stick to 7.2v or 8.4v - or 7.4v lipo but that is it the stock will probably have a phillips screw - remove back of stock probably bast to slide the poor 416 style crane stock back and latch it further then it will slide off completely down that tube will be a phillips screw to tighten the stock tube back on refit once tightened etc.... that is presuming you got the crane 416 stock on that bulldog (some 805's which that is rebadged have a fixed stock on them) btw I bought that gun - its ok for plinking but wouldn't spend too much money n time on it

    Choosing combat shirt

    Having owned and still own the Crye AC and Massif ACS, I would say go with the Massif. Its super comfortable and a really rugged well built combat shirt plus you can get them really cheap on ebay now. The Crye AC is a nice shirt but its expensive and hard to justify sometimes. I also prefered the material the Massif shirts are made from compared to the Crye. Its like an elasticy stretch material compared to Cryes which is what a normal jacket/trousers are made from.

  28. The base gun isn't exactly well regarded and gas guns aren't that popular to begin with so that'll be why you're not seeing a lot of interest. Couple that with the fact most people aren't interested in upgrades you've fitted because they don't know your level of competency - for all they're aware the parts could've been fitted badly and cause the gun to be worse than it was before. Buying second hand is a gamble. lf people can't be sure what they're getting is going to be good for the money they're just not going to bother with it.

  31. I drive a forklift truck through the week, and DJ and rewire houses as a sparky's mate come weekends. On top of a having a young family, it's pretty tiring My body clock has now stopped haha I could afford to play every week, but in the grand scale of things airsoft is low priority, so i play monthly, sometimes an extra night game now and again. Also, i only buy new gear with work bonuses or when i've had a really busy month and filled the shed with cash lol

    Vest pouches

    I was speaking to some guy who was kitted out with all sorts of pouches and carrying all sorts of stuff. He said he was like a mobile quartermaster as he ended up carrying all his friends stuff as well. So they're all off running around light and free and he was left lumbering around like a pack mule.

    Some advice?

    Its largely up to the retailer how they interpret "defence". If he chooses to sell to you on that basis its up to him and we can debate if its right or wrong but its just words. The defence is for him not you, Its not illegal to buy and own airsoft RIFs for adults. However, you might find that most of the airsoft trade will want a UKARA registration as defence so your choice of supplier will be limited. In my experience, its only gun shops who sell firearms, air rifle and dabble in fringe airsoft that consider firearms licences suitable for airsoft.

  40. Guy selling M249 on facebook sales page. Says he needs money quick. Ask about age of the gun "dunno mate" FPS of gun "dunno mate" no mods or extras. I give him an offer of £150 as its around 60% of RRP. "I'm looking for more like £200 mate" Tell him that you can get them new for less with a warranty. Says whatever after me telling him that its a fair price for a gun that has unknown age and FPS but then about 45 mins later comes back with £160. Many chuckles were had.

    Some advice?

    As Mack said. Whilst it makes sense for someone who has access to a real firearm and who has proven that they understand the care needed in owning, transporting and operating a firearm to have access to the big boys toys that they are, neither UKARA or the legislation works that way, and you need to either make the hire-gun pilgrimage or put up with two tone like the rest of us (or explore the alternative routes which are detailed elsewhere)
