So wanted to post a quick slow motion video of the new JD airsoft Mag-Flash primer. Jesus this is loud and blinding, awesome primer. burnt the blanket it landed on haha. Video deleted as file got corrupted.

This is always a two way argument. Yes there are people out there who only add a few parts and call it custom, then try to sell it at a high price. But I have also seen people that have really spent a lot of time and money building absolute beast's, yet get lowballed by people that either don't have a clue what they are buying or want to buy gold with buttons. For example; there was a guy last year on another forum selling an Inokatsu STEEL M240B for £900, which is a bargain when it cost £1600 New and was unskirmished. Yet two lads made a thread about what a rip off this guy was, and that it was overpriced and that you can get the same thing for $300 from the abroad. Well most people know a $300 echo1 to a full steel Inokatsu is a big difference. But my point is; where is the line drawn between an over priced gun, or someone just wanting something for nothing? At the end of the day, as everyone else has said, if your not happy paying that price, give a offer, if not accepted, walk away. It's no biggy is it?

I've started to make a consertive effort now to not shoot people in the chest/plate carrier as so many people don't feel it. I now shoot people in the legs so they actually feel the hit and usually take it. Frustrating as it's a smaller target but needs must.

I would just like to point out that I have never met ImTriggerHappy, have no idea who he is and would actively like to disassociate myself from anything he says. #justsayinglike.

Fair play. Seems there really is one born every minute :-)

If youre 28, my advice is not to rush into anything. Do three games, get your UKARA defence sorted so you dont need a two tone and by then you will know more about what you want. Theres no point saying you dont want a toy gun if you are going to run round with a bright coloured one.

Buy some thread lock. Probably just the screw come loose and undid itself.

I consider gas snipers to be dangerous, as the FPS from cheaper rifles is unpredictable. Spring is better overall. However, if this is your first gun, save the hassle and go for an AEG.

and you :o XD Sure thing. Can't cover your back fully in this country^^ "Actually, we thing your intention for carrying that RIF is to hit someone over the head with it...... OFFENSIVE WEAPON HURR DURR!!!!" This. In reality thou, I can't see that airsoft would be legal in England for all future, it's just too fragile the way it is now.

bought a fair bit to get going with, few bits of camo, eye protection, a G36 and mags.. and this for 17.50 which is pretty good seeing as its nearly new

Its not a training wheel, its just a really well made gun that performs really good, that is cheap and will last for ages without breaking. When you more experianced you can upgrade it to perform even better If it bothers you, you can always get loads of external stuff eg Sight, Grip suppressor etc to make it stand out Overall its a great gun

No dont say that word they have computers that detect it. They will be monitoring us now. You've DOOMED US remember everybody its Josh's fault I didnt have a heart attack or just fall down a hole its all a conspiracy. Got to go kiss my kids goodbye its only a matter of time till they come for me now.

You shouldn't have said that, the Illuminati will read it and "eliminate" you.

You never know they have been experimenting on soldiers for years, look at gulf war syndrome. Might have been contaminated by chemicals or some sort of drug you could get some trousers and end up growing a third testicle. Dont get anything American for god sake it could be from area 51 and be carrying a deadly alien pathogen or a little bug that could burrow into your brain and take control of you. Got to go and put my anti esp tinfoil hat on now think the feds are monitoring me again. 😒👽

dont be silly, its fine

can't go wrong with an issued UBACS, cheap as chips too.

The biggest reason for non hit taking is the amount of gear people wear. Some people have so much kit and protection on they just dont feel it. I am sure there must have been times when someone has hit my mag pouches and I havent felt it but others take it to the extreme with thick plate carriers and even backpacks and dont get me started on the hard shell crowd. If people would just thin down their gear it wouldnt be such an issue.

ahh - then you can't SS - lol now you explained the bespoke or shorter spring then ok I see then it would be stronger Never quite understood these slightly special boxes with shorter springs like on 21's or arx160 etc... If it has 16 teeth piston n sector........ anyway if she is say 15-20 over then if the stock spring guide wasn't bearing then that might get you back to 350 ??? could work maybe - if later on fpd drops in 6 months - pop bearing one back in there only way to know for sure is try it all in there with m100 - but yeah m100 would deffo be a bit tougher compared to 260fps (if it was down to spring mainly) soz for waffle n all that but just saying a few ideas before you reach for hacksaw/dremmel (you could fit spring ar$e about face to lose fps but as I said techy's don't advise it due to increased starting tension)

don't cut any coils - yet besides coil cutting is a bit of a bodge or a last resort the tighter coils - where they are closer spaced together goes at back/spring guide designed this way as slightly lighter tension when starting to compress spring on semi often you may find the coils tighten in middle and at back of spring if they are close together at front you got it ar$e about face if you install a spring incorrectly you will lose final tension/fps and it is said it makes more work from standstill/semi think I noticed about a 20fps drop when I fitted an irregular spring back to front it could be wrongly labelled m100 but shs springs are deffo a bit generous I found recently plus wire used is thicker than stock spring wire had a m125 (- didn't think they did 5 increments) and thought I would fully compress it for 12 hrs to lose tension a smidge yeah - still seemed way stronger than a stock m120 spring I ended using for a short stroke project to really know for sure is by chucking it in and seeing and then you would need a chrono - no real other way if you have fitted a spring guide over a stock spring guide then that should push you back up to any loss from aoe better seals and bearing on piston adds another 5mm compression on spring - same as bearing spring guide So unless your gun was well n truly low you should be about 5 to 10% up on old figure as long as nozzle is sealing good in the hop You could try the m100+ spring but reckon only if you got chrono to hand if you suspect it is bloomin' strong mofo couple of bursts will soon show if she is over or not if over you could remove a tooth - shortstroke but tbh I doubt if your gun is gonna run a risk of PE unless 11.1v way up the pro's n con's, see if you can remember what she was shooting at previously and maybe if she was low then try m100+ Short stroking isn't that tricky - each tooth will reduce final fps by about 6% or multiply fps by 0.94 & repeat however not much room for SS on longer barrels like full AK's @ 455mm etc.... but room for a couple on 400 & below barrels doubt if you need to get into this crap just yet - put her back as an improved slightly upgraded/stock box and see how she goes

No problem with you, I just hate bullshitters and people who overcharge for second/third hand goods

It seems your doing a good job of that yourself. The original listing where you bought it says £165 ALL IN, all in includes the shipping price

a 7.4V LiPo ALWAYS has 2 cells an 11.1 ALWAYS has 3 cells a 14.8V ALWAYS has 4 cells Those are about as good as you'll get for the money, the next charger up tend to be 3 times the price for a smart charger like the Acucell 6

There aren't any metal g36's, the real thing is plastic

Which I'm sure he'll realise when it doesn't sell....

He actually said he paid £150 for it in an earlier post so its even worse. At the end of the day its an entry level gun with a couple of bolt on accessories, nothing special about it at all worth a about £100.What was the point in OP asking for an appraisal if he was going to ignore whats said?

Redline Firebase regulator 10lt 300 psi SCUBA cylinder [Happening intensifies]

Or just check for standards markings....

I see you have listed it for £180 even though you paid £165 or less for it didnt realise being third hand increased the value

Hey thanks Funny you mention that, I was watching a review of the holo sight on YouTube after I bought it and it was mentioned you can buy a cover, so bought that today too!

Anything currently issued probably will be fine. The ESS, Revision etc stuff is all stanag rated and as such is way higher spec then EN166.

I'm getting the same slide; looks great

Screw looks a bit bent.

Just on a serious note just incase, military surplus goggles do not automatically mean they'll be airsoft safe eye protection-whether they've been exposed to alien probes or not. Check their rating before using them.

My son bought one because he was on a budget and I thought oh-oh plastic version of a metal M4, but actually I was quite surprised at the quality and had to tap the upper receiver to confirm it wasnt metal. Personally, I like metal rifles to be metal and correspond in heft and I have the Top Tech version but its a price/budget compromise. I also find the version he has is a bit short for me - it doesnt quite sit right in my long reach, which is why I would advocate trying one in person. In my still limited experience of toy guns, I find that many people who go in to a retailer to buy one rifle end up coming out with something else in the black plastic wrap.

The usual disclaimer: If this is your first gun and its for skirmishes then don't get a sniper rifle. You need to dump a significant amount of money into upgrades (£250-450) to make it competitive - otherwise you're just going to be outclassed in every engagement. With that said and done: Depends on the brand, but probably the springer - gas is inconsistent and you need to be spending more than £141 to get a reliable setup - I'd imagine it's running green gas, and cooldown and the general weather effect performance massively. Consistency of shot is the number one thing you need with sniper rifles, and should be at the forefront of your purchase. From personal experience, if you're looking for an L96 then most of the clones are fine. The Mauser is actually alright, but massively overpriced being a rebranded Cybergun. Well is probably the brand you're looking at right now, and they perform alright out of the box. I would recommend finding one without a scope and then buying your own (around about £40-80), but obviously airsoft is all about how much you're happy to spend. One thing is for sure though: Don't go for a cheap gas sniper rifle. The consistency will be naff and the magazines will probably end up leaking after just a short while. There's also the consideration of spending more money on a decent green gas. Although this cost is negligible (around £8-16 per can), it is something you may wish to bring into consideration. Could you provide some links to what you're looking at?

TM Sling mounts are awful too. The screw is made of steel,but the rest is made of extremely flimsy zinc. Screwing them into the stock usually strips the stock threads and mine broke pretty quickly. TM's stock hop is cast better,so the arm doesn't move around much,but the adjustment mech design still applies uneven pressure no matter who makes it. TM has a very good hop up rubber,and screws are better quality. The newer TM VSRs have crimped cylinders so they're a PITA to upgrade since you need to buy a new cylinder,head and guts too which can add up to 100 pounds more in upgrade expenses. That's the JG's main pro now.

What the hell's been going on?? lol.. Mate, the TM is by far a better option than most clones FACT! I've now worked on several JG Bar 10's etc mainly because I have friends that have used my Gspec and want the same result but without paying out. There's tiny differences which can all be rectified but the TM is by far the easiest to work on! HOWEVER.... The Bar 10 is cheaper and by the end of the upgrade process you won't see any difference between the two guns. For 450 fps you'll get away with a spring/guide/sear upgrade and using the TM hop which is a very nice bit of kit you just need to swap the arm for a type B to lift heavier weight BB's (Or try the biro hop mod on the original arm). That'll give you a perfect working gun. (Also worth PTFE taping the hop rubber and cylinder head). The ONLY issue that puts people off is that the newer Gspecs come stock with a crimped cylinder which cannot be opened to remove the spring and there's no external giveaway that you're getting the old or the new! Easiest option is to put a new cylinder & head in BUT then you fall into the problem of needing a 90 degree trigger. This is where ASPUK came in handy as they're so much cheaper than Laylax. It's going to come down to how much you want to spend? Way I see it is that if you spend the money now you won't need to spend it later! You can swap springs out between games to achieve different power outputs. ALSO..... Don't waste your time with TBB! use .43's and you'll be hitting most things at 80+ meters anyway. The standard Gspec barrel is perfect, I thought of putting a longer barrel in but it's more to do with joule creep than accuracy.

Just a touch(But you never know) 😓

but its TM, so use able out of the box... and that hop .... i hear they soak it in the blood of rocking horses or maybe sprinkle unicorn horn on it either way its good

Hi. Please, please, please get the jg. The TM version is I waste of money! Period! The only part which is better are the sling mounts. They are very cheap if you are desperate. Is difficult to quickly explain here as there is a ton of information on why, but I suggest you google the airsoft sniper forum and read the stickies on there before you dive in. There is tons of very scientific reasoning behind what mods etc to do and what not to do (I.e. don't get a 6.01 barrel) I know my way around the vsr platforms pretty well after years of stripping it down and fettling it so feel free to pm me if you need a hand Bullet

tl;dr - not all defences are UKARA, but UKARA is a valid defence. UKARA was a reaction to the VCRA changes in 2007 that added legislature regarding realistic imitation firearms (basically anything that looks like a real gun). In short, it meant you needed a 'defence' (a valid reason) to buy one. A defence could be many things: An airsoft site membership, producing films or plays, reenactments etc. - anything that you could use to prove that you had purchased an RIF (mentioned earlier) for reasons other than to hold up a post office. This is a very grey area though, so the United Kingdom Airsoft Retailers Association (UKARA) database was created as a way of unifying airsoft site memberships so that a retailer (particularly online ones) could look up players without having to make numerous phone calls to site owners. Bear in mind that an important stipulation of the VCRA amendment was that is was the seller who was liable for finding out if the buyer had a valid defence - retailers were afraid at the time of being shut down (or worse) for not doing their due diligence. UKARA made it much quicker for retailers to sell their items to people that they had some knowledge of being genuine players, reenactors or media producers. 7 years on and not a single airsoft player has ever been prosecuted (nor retailer, to my knowledge) for owning an RIF. Edit: Just in case you're not aware, when people say 'UKARA', they basically mean the UKARA database of players and the sites they're registered at. Basically every skirmish site can approve a form for you granted that you attend twice over a period of less than 3 months. Any retailer that's a member of UKARA will then add your name to a database (along with the address you've provided) and give you a number that you can use for purchases. Many make the mistake of thinking UKARA is a license to own an RIF - it isn't. It's just a valid defence and there are many others out there. In fact if you have receipts for frequently attending a site then there's no reason that this couldn't be accepted as a valid defence too, but most retailers (online ones in particular) won't accept this as it's a lot of effort to verify and not worth it when they're liable for the sale of that gun. If you rob a shop with it and it's traced back to them then questions will be asked about what steps they took to make sure that you had a legitimate (and legal) reason to own one.

Ukara is the defence

This.

New combat machine. There is a lot of secondhand crap out there and if you dont know the history and you buy online, youre likely to end up with a dog, unless you know how to fix all the problems.

But that doesn't automatically exempt the site operators from any sort of liability. For instance; the site (probably) won't be liable for a player sustaining an injury from a bb, but they will be liable for a play sustaining an injury from say part of the safe zone collapsing or a player sustains an injury from unsafe structures. Yes, there are risks in this sport, but there are risks in other sports and organisers will have to have public liability insurance. A quick Google search for 'paintball public liability insurance' brings up lots of insurers that are willing to offer public liability for paintball as well as airsoft. I think site operators might be getting confused with the classification as a 'extreme' sport. Lots of personal injury insurances don't cover in the even of an injury sustained during an extreme sport, but companies do offer personal injury insurance for such occasions. This does not mean that a site operator doesn't need public liability insurance as a minimum (as there are lots of other insurance products that a site may need).

This is the ALICE frame This is an original Lightweight Rucksack frame and this is my version

im going with quite a few others from the Gaol, i think theres about 8 of us going if not more.

I tend to use their name, so if a man is gay and his name if Geoff, I'd call him Geoff.

That's the important bit here. Lots of people have bought their kit in the UK and want a fair price compared to what THEY paid. Telling them that you could get the same thing for a fraction from Hong Kong just causes bad feeling in my opinion.

That's no excuse. If you can't feel it, you still can hear it.
