For me there's also a point where extra mags can't be counted. One or two is nice but I'm not paying £10 - £15 a mag for the other twenty-three beaten-up ones you've accumulated over the years.

Apparently there's one in GTA IV. No shell deflector! TRIGGERED!

Fairly sure the a1's didn't come in red, don't know about the a2's.

The hand guard looks A1. A ruler-on-the-screen says that the stock looks more A2 length than A1 and the butt stock looks like it's fully textured like A2, but I could be wrong on those. Can't see if the flash hider has a hole on the bottom (A1) or no hole (A2). The receiver is A2: the rear sight has an elevation adjuster, the forward assist is round rather than teardrop, there's a shell deflector behind the ejection post, and the slip ring is tapered rather than parallel. I can't see if there's a finger groove on the grip, but I'm guessing that there is. [UPDATE] Oh, this one? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/golden-eagle-m16a1-super-enhanced-aeg Yup, butt, stock, grip and flash hider are all A2. The only A1 thing that I can see on there is the hand guard. "A1 style receiver. Perfect for re-enactment [and] mil-sim", the cheeky buggers. Now, I'm sure someone will out-nerd me (front sight post profile?).

The old girl got a face-lift In all honesty I've been wanting to do a KWA Vector build for forever. I've lurked on the FB page for some time now, and had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I knew one thing was needed for sure before I invested time and money into the project - an HPA drum. Ive tried the GBB primary route and despised it for a single reason - the mags. Thats why Ive converted so many of my GBBs to Daytonas - WE Masada, VFC M27, etc. Especially here in the States, where its all about highcaps and volume of fire (I do miss UK airsoft; running around The Mall with my TM GBB MP7 or dual pistols...). While I dont need 1000 shots to get a hit, 40ish shots was a bit too little, especially when you go to reload and find your mag has leaked all the gas out. So a drum is a must. As such, my Vector has sat, and sat. Then, I got an offer. It was a bit steep IMO but I took it, and then I was the proud owner of a broken Reaper Airsoft Customs drum mag for the Vector. Let the build begin! The repair ended up being easy - a lot of epoxy and drying time and it was good to go. I didnt want to use a cheap China clone for a sight like I have on some of my builds - Ive had Daytonas throw off their zeros before. So I used a spare Vortex Sparq AR red dot I had. Magpul MOE irons and AFG2 mod to match my real Vector, Ace1Arms right hand mag release (so much easier when using the drum), replica Surefire M600DF light and my signature blue-lasered PEQ hooked up to a dual pressure switch. I also had to add a 45* rail for the torch so that I could still fold the stock. I have a Defiance .45 ACP suppressor but I am unsure if I will use it due to not needing an increased inner barrel due to FPS gains... Cover the remaining rails with ladder covers and add a sling swivel stock pin and the build is (externally) done. Still need to decide on what to do inside though... Yes @rocketdogbert I will use the FB page for that.

A bit like "my 2003 Corsa is worth £4k because of the £3000 entertainment system"?

The dilemma I face...

Oh no a Tm mp7 gbb crept into the house when I wasn't looking. I may even prefer it to the GHK AK (I am fickle and prone to falling in out of love with whichever RIF I use depending on how the day/game goes so I'll take both with me in 10 days time and we will see which one comes out on top) i may have to sell the loser as this hobby has crippled my toy fund this month!!
