Your custom/upgraded pistol isn't worth nearly as much as you think...

Update in case you haven't seen: Its now available in HK https://www.octagonairsoft.com/product-page/s-t-lee-enfield-no-1-mkiii-air-cocking-real-wood-rifle But for that price I don't think I'll be getting one 😔

Very true BUT being a pedantic SoB when it comes to my self , my BDU’s were wrong because they where the 2nd pattern that had swapped the slightly darker sand colour for mint choc chip(I’m starting to see a chocolate chip theme recurring🤔)green hue instead which didn’t happen till after 9/11 . 🤦‍♂️ OCD can be a right pain at times ?🤣🤣👍

At least you underestimated for a change 😂 Most airsofters can shoot 200m like a friggin laser beam

EDIT: Well...seems like someone beat me to it ---------------------------------------- If you are not familiar with 4UAD SmartAirsoft on YouTube, now's the time to check them out! It's a relatively new channel dedicated to doing methodical and scientifically sound reviews of airsoft replicas. If you ask me, they are quickly becoming the gold standard in how airsoft guns should be reviewed. Anyway, they just hit a homerun with their newest review of no other than the Tokyo Marui MWS. An absolute must watch for all followers of this thread! And if you ask me, the go-to review of the MWS (with BadaBing's being a very close second).

Hello to everyone here at AFUK, and thanks for having me. : ) Have owned various airsoft over the years, but nothing beats my VSR10 for pure shooting pleasure. My airsoft dream is to travel overseas to play a few rounds, already done that but i want to go to europe and play in the forest's where at least once i can fully immerse myself into my sniper role and fling plastic bb's at anyone i can. I really want to play in the Sherwood Forest, something about it can't put my finger on it, but yeah if only i had a teleporter.

No thats fine, full length barrel is a bonus

Should the inner barrel be more protected? There is now 3 mm between muzzle and inner barrel.

New patch!

So i had the pleasure of going to this site for the very first time on the 17th april 2021 we arrived and signed in and went to our allocated table to setup, sign in was quick and simple. safety brief was great very simple rules, here you are not allowed to climb trees, for me that did not matter. the game modes throughout the day were well organised, back to back game modes made it so you were not sitting in safe zone for long periods of time thinking come on let us out already, first game mode was fun think we had to capture something (blue team won) The second game mode in the morning was the best game mode, we had to get 8 barrels through 3 zones first zone we had to clear out the boat, 2nd we had to cross a bride this part you need teamwork once everyone stopped trying to push and make a plan we all decided to rush the bridge, we popped a few smokes and everyone on blue team rushed that bridge and worked great, the 3rd zone was the fort we had to clear it out, the fort had 2 entrances 1 for entry and 1 for dead people to walk out, the fort had small windows for the defenders to shoot out from, this made for some great teamwork on how to push the fort, overall the best game mode i played, next game mode we had to try and move a barrel full of water as close to the other team while they are also trying to do the same kinda like tug of war, this mode was a special mode was great fun (blue team won by a few inches) after that mode we played the 2nd game mode with the 3 zones but this time we were the defenders, when it came to defending the bridge this part was the best i set myself up on the left side of the bridge, with great sight of the other side from between 2 trees i racked up about 12 kills most kills i have done in my 3 games i have been to airsoft, red team managed to do great teamwork and rushed us almost straight away, red team won last game mode of the day was a domination game mode, the aim for this mode we had to switch the blue light on the box with the red team also trying to switch it to red at same time the longest time that its been on their colour wins, red team were first to the box but forgot to switch it to red before blue team quickly cleared it and switched it to blue, red team had 0 on the timer wile blue team managed to get 14 mins on the timer out of the 15 mins game time, after the scores were added up blue team won by a couple of points mainly losing points on the defending the bridge part the whole day was great and well organised, some no hit takers but you get that no matter where you go marshals did a fantastic job safe zone well organised pros: safe zone is well arranged, clear signs points to were you need to go great game modes friendly staff great safety briefing game structures the fort, bridge, they all look amazing map lunch break is the perfect amount of time for everyone to reload, eat, and what ever anyone else does on there break cons: no hot food, make sure you add the pizza option to your order for an extra fiver, unless you only want crisps or chocolate would i go back to this site again 1 million % yes i would, great and entertaining day plenty of game modes roll on 15th may cant wait to go back for more

It's what I have for my gun rack!

Ah, gridwalls....... he says in a reminiscent manner. I haven’t touched any for over a year! Brand new they could get pricey for a few or for the various fittings. But keep your eyes open on local facebooks, and eBay pickup and they can be picked up very cheaply often with selections of fittings from shops that close or redesign. We use them for shows which expands space in gazebos and contributes to making them more substantial against the weather, and run them around the walls. We’ve cut extra slots in some of them to align with gazebo struts Sometimes we put 3 together as a triangle tower, and a couple of times 4 together making a ‘table’ We don’t bother with feet as even when indoors we construct around something making a stable wall. Feet and wheels are options, but even at home as a wall system I’d probably recommend the wall hooks. Other grids are available but as @Lozartpoints out gridwalls are way beyond what you’ll find in most DIY shops for storage

There are two versions, one with a metal slide and one with a polymer. The metal slide version can handle green gas or CO2, the polymer only green gas (and possibly lower powered in summer). I have the metal slide and my preference is to use CO2, as it's around the 330 - 340fps mark and very snappy. In answer to your question, yes the same gun can be run on either CO2 or green gas mags. I used mine on Saturday and spent all day just using CO2 (you should get 3-4 mags from one capsule), then at the end I ran through the green gas mag to lubricate the internals. I've had many pistols and this is one of my favourites. The only slight negatives being it's a bit underwhelming on green gas and the hop bucking is a special type, so you can only use a select few.

not sure if this really counts but printed out some bullet heads and fixed them to the inside of the AK12 magazine to improve the look.

Airseal is the PIA with these. I'm quite happy fitting another any upgrade hop rubber and just tightening the screw on the hop unit slider up a touch to stop it wandering. Airseals are either OK out of the box or leaky as fuck. I've three of the things and they're all the same. Silly as a better nozzle at the factory would add about 25p to the cost of the gun and stop you having to tear some of them down.

Forget all that stuff I mentioned about bad range, I am clearly just a poor judge of distance. I am getting about 50-60m with abbey predator. Actually effective range 40-50m It was very nice playing with it today. Lots of kills and left a few welts on the enemy. One guy even complained that I shot him too close in the face with a "bolt action"... For reference it was about 12- 14 degrees C during chrono and it was doing 270FPS on .28s with Abbey Ultra Predator. Loved using this gun today!

I have used the Combat Union hop unit with a ZCI 6.02mm barrel, Maple Leaf Macaron rubber and Omega nub to great effect with regards to range and accuracy in a CYMA AKM, an LCT AKMS and an LCT PP-19-01.

Apologies, I totally missed that part of the post! I'd never have thought of using a biro to remove the metal connector from the plastic jacket...fantastic! Thank you I was totally focusing on the part about what settings to use for charging the batteries due to knowing how dangerous they can be if things go wrong. @Speedbird_666 and @concretesnail thank you for your suggestions!

I personally use the Prowin AK hop up unit or one of it copies such as the E&L version which I find to be good. Also use the ASG Ultimate hop unit for my Real Swords but that generally to get rid of the mag wobble. As for hop rubber I use Mad bull blue 60 degree or G&G green. As for barrel I generally stick with stock, I have used a madbull 455mm stainless steel tight bore but found the result to be disappointing to me for range. I have had very good range results with an Prowin hop unit , R-hop, g&g green hop rubber, ORGA Magnus Barrel 6.23 wide bore and PTFE tape.

so 0.78j, fair bit of headroom. worth seeing what the shot to shot fps variation is, it's the litmus test for your air seal (the ± fps number you want as low as possible) no point putting a bigger spring in there till sure that extra energy is going out the barrel.

Which will then lead on to gearbox upgrades , which then leads on to a motor upgrade , which then leads on to hop upgrades , which THEN traps you in never ending hell of ‘triggers broom’ ! 😱😈

If it's a gift, don't forget to declare it as such, and try to keep the value under DKK 360, so your friend won't have to pay import VAT plus the crazy handling charges.

Plenty of people can tell you how it feels to their body type, and they can tell you how it looks in their opinion - but really it's just down to you. Buy stuff, make mistakes, and learn from them. End of the day, it's Airsoft, it is something we enjoy and it isn't life or death so it really comes down to two things; A) Does it feel good? B) Does it look good? We dress up all fancy and play soldiers so looks is definitely a factor 😎 Feel cool wearing it. So plate carrier, chest webbing, battle belt - whatever you like 😎

So here is the latest addition to my MWS collection. 8” PDW build. As some of you will remember from the above I picked up an MTR to use the ambi lower in my competition gun. This is what I did with the bits I had left. Its the MTR upper receiver (I wanted the forward assist on my competition gun) with a regular MWS lower a guarder front end kit and a G&P PDW stock. Still a few bits to sort. NPAS is on order and I managed to bugger up the bolt catch due to my own clumsiness so trigger box will have to come out once the new one arrives, but other than that I’m quite pleased with it.

@Helyk can you get more vertical pistol grips for the MCX? Ive always been suprised SiG put such an angled grip on what is a close quarters gun. Got my P90 together and im back in love, shouldnt have sold my old one years back, running sweet at 22RPS / 325 FPS with perfect timing / no overrun fully mechanical on the original TM wiring! Just waiting on the Shadow Regime M-Trigger to land and i can hook it up with the WarFet I know Asomodai will respect the bullpup 😋

@Panama thanks for the info, have you tested/fielded the TDC setup yet? Also i dont think you are missing out regarding the Action trigger set... I got the gun built back up with the new internals, but not done any hop work yet, just testing functionality and FPS. The Rapax2 came in at a low 385 fps with my stock G-spec barrel, like most i want max fps with minimal spring effort, so i may get an EDGI on order to boost fps a little. I have a Rapax3 which may work well with a couple coils removed, anyone else running Rapax springs in these? Not impressed with the upgrade action trigger, it is very finnicky about actually catching the piston/cocking and the trigger feel is non existent and extremely sensitive. To that end i have a Bull trigger on order to test out. Looks wise im pretty pleased, might have to get the scope mount repainted or Cerakoted, the Far East anodising is a weird colour!

Airsoft Artisan rail and suppressor finally arrived and fitted on the MCX👌

that is what happens when you say "watch this" then try to dual weild m14's while riding a bicycle.

Bought from @BigStewon these very forums , Foundry Airsoft HALO magnum kit , it’s actually intended for the Glock 17/18/19 but with a ‘wee’ bit of dremeling it fits nicely on an 18C . Safe to say my boy will be a VERY happy bunny when he gets home ? 😉

Unsportsmanlike and a bit of a dick move if you ask me.

I think the bang rule can be used and should be used if you have the option. However, it should always be used in the situation where if the person you bang even flinches, you can just unload into them. I use it loads and only a very few times can I remember them trying to be smart and well.. failing... Followed by their instant regret.

this is my normal response, but generally i'm aiming somewhere a little less sensitive. last time i gave a bang kill it was that close, had the barrel of the makarov against the guys shoulder, although granted an 0.75j gun into a padded webbing strap is a totally different kettle of fish. you did the right thing (annoying as i'm sure it was to go through), a little compassion for the poor sod on the recieving end goes a long way.

Totally his own fault (deserved it just for smoking , vile habit😉) no that’s fair game if your doing things like that . I’m neither for or against the ‘Bang rule’ I’m more of a ‘you get the drop on the other player they either take it graciously and accept the other player got them good and proper or they try some matrix shit and get shot ! Had an incident at a game where I got the drop royally on a player where I had my AEG barrel literally touching his cheek . I said “I think you’ll take the walk ?” He looked at me and unbelievably slowly started to raise his shottie ! I just looked at him and said “are seriously going to do that?” At this point I was taken out by another player so the incident finished but when I went and spoke to a marshal to report this fool doing something that stupid his reply was “well you should have put a round in to him Then !” I looked at him and just turned and walked away thinking what’s the point , no way I’m shooting someone point blank in the face on purpose . AND before the forum hard men start with the “take the shot or don’t play !”crap if I had done that I do think I could have been opening my self up to a possible assault charge for doing it .
