Finally got a good Eotech clone, so now I've finished my HK416A5 build. I'll maybe get the PPT X3 Magnifier Flip-To-Side, considering the current Magnifier I have is a X5 magnification.

Hey folks! Another update that went out of testing: 5-day weather forecast for each location. Now, you can check whether to pack gaiters or shorts! Enjoy!

I've started wearing one and I must admit, it's quite nice to re-watch clips when you've had a good day! I played last Sunday and the last game was a free for all, I did rather well! The game ended with me and the other remaining player trading shots and doing a 1 Vs 1 to settle the outcome. I won, but not after shooting him in his dump pouch 6 or 7 times. When I get some time to edit this I'll upload it to YouTube. It will not be a cheater shaming video because he clearly didn't feel the hits! Plus it's also nice to send my mates videos of me shooting them!

The CM045a from Gunfire would be £164.63 inc VAT & delivery (GLS)

Just came across this which states the same thing I said earlier. https://www.kingdomofairsoft.com/postage-guidelines They also assume we can classify airsoft guns as 'Low-powered air weapons' “Arms and Ammunition - low powered air weapons Low-powered air weapons (air rifles, air guns and air pistols), together with lead pellets and other airgun and airsoft projectiles, can be sent but are subject to the following conditions: These items must be sent on an express48 service only These items must be sent via the Post Office only Enhanced compensation cover is not available”

Not even close to your work of awesomeness but my humble contribution , my socom reimagined as an old school Diemarco C8.

This is my TM next gen build. The 20rd magazin isnt ready, but soon.

I enjoy airsoft, I like playing it with my son, I'm an "average" player who has lucky days now and again, I like seeing photo's that the site may have uploaded of the day as they bring back good memories. However, I'd quite like to see back what I personally saw on the day, was the epic shot I thought I made actually terrible and the "movement" in the bush was just a pigeon, see where the sneaky person who shot me in the head was hiding etc. So, as I'm no Carlos the Jackal, would people think I'm a bit of a nobber if I put the smallest camera I could on my helmet to record video for my own personal use? I'm old enough to rarely give a shit about what people think about me anymore, however I don't want to embarrass my son or have others at a site point and laugh 😢

the TMs have a semi and auto select built into the safety now just to add I under stand the appeal of sticking to the same platform for mag compatibility but this is airsoft there is no guarantee that your current mags will feed with any of the guns you choose.

You could always go to the manufacturers website and view the manual which gives an exploded / strip diagram of the various Warthogs (or the exploded view which is the direct page). Page 14 of the manual, bottom right shows the 9" and 7" differences for the foregrip unit / barrel. Having never had a G&G before, I couldn't tell you if there are any gearbox variations between length variations. https://www.guay2.com/en/product/detail-96 Probably best to keep it untouched for at least one day out - that's the best chance you will get to find any problems that need fixing, especially if you have any sorta warranty to fall back on. Sometimes it's good to learn the faults before you fix them, at least then you'll know what difference any extra purchases do for you. Just be sure to take a backup!

Double eagle has been around for years ,they where one of the first Chinese cloners they where famous(or more like infamous) for el cheapo AEGs and spring shotguns(which surprisingly where very good) the disappeared a few yrs ago but recently re-emerged with this new range of very good quality polymer bodied fully programmable guns . Tackle is correct , I’ve got a snow wolf AUG and it has a ‘proper’ trigger and there is a mod you can do that allows a traditional trigger as apposed to the two stage one on all the others .

Hey thanks for all the replies, good stuff, cheers Well I've always had a soft spot for the looks of the MP5 but I think I'm sticking to the AR platform to re-use my mags, unless I'm very tempted by some special feature, like the quirkiness of the Aug (which I use a lot in Battlefield 4 when I'm gaming. I'm also a big in-game fan of the F2000 which *does* use M4 mags, so maybe I should go there...? I'd take the RIS version so I can stick my real-steel Kobra on top) The scorpion doesn't really float my boat, if I was to go for a PDW it would have to be something like the MP7. I've watched and re-watched a few videos of the Amoebas and Firehawk, and on-balance I was thinking the Firehawk. It's a little cheaper, and has the famed G&G CM reliability going for it. The comments on the slow trigger give me pause, but I've not played any true CQB yet, so maybe that's not vital Double Eagle is not a manufacturer I know anything about, except they often pop up very early on in an 'ascending price' sort! I'll go take a look! Edit: Ah, perhaps 'Golden Eagle' is what I've seen. Further investigation required...

Just to Chuck another name in the ring check out the Double Eagle range with the falcon mosfet gearboxes . I recently bought one as an ‘it’s the end of the day I’m totally bollox’ed I need a lightweight gun !’ gun and it turned out to be a fecking awesome piece of kit ! I was totally blown away by the performance for the price I paid for it . Everyone I’ve met who has one have only confirmed how good they are and haven’t heard anything bad about them as of yet .

A great read, I could hardly pull away! Really enjoyed the pictures you added to the post as well, I'll definitely be stalking that website now 👀

New handguard setup: I kind of like it black.. debating on whether or not to even get it cerakoted red now.

Makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time 😀😫😀😫😀😫 Good luck Jacob 👍 Probably a good time to sell as its out of stock in most of UK.

Underside of the AIP rear sight. I've heard there's a video coming out at 7pm tonight that shows you exactly where 😁

She’s obviously a keeper. 😉

Decent screw extractors would be fine but it would need heating up first as there is probably a too strong threadlock involved in this problem. Cutting slots is quite often a recipe for disaster and makes me cringe every time I hear it mentioned as quite often that will just tear as well. Easiest option is to heat the screw with a soldering iron then tap it round with a punch or flat bladed screw driver. As long as you are gentle this always works. Then buy some Wera Hex Plus keys and stop it happening again as this is often caused by people using poorly made allen keys that they bought from amazon or halfords.

what a world we live in, when a cyma ak has rarity value

Forgive me for sounding confused, but are you sure you’ve put everything back correctly? I mean, pretty sure on an ak, semi is all the way down, auto is the middle position……

Kind of hard to tell at the moment. That top one is a CYMA CM.045A, right? £170 from PatrolBase if they had any (but they don't), £120 plus taxes and shipping from TaiwanGun if they shipped (but they don't), £141 from GunFire, and they might ship, but who knows how much you'd get stung for on extra costs and delays. So at this point I don't know if there really is what you'd call a UK market price, there's just what someone who's after one is willing to pay. (Checks bank account...)

Finally got both

Cheers, saw a lad with a gopped pdw a few weeks ago and scoffed at his weapons inferiority. Not at all, I remember reading your comments and having a play. I tried to flex the grip about but couldn't get it anywhere near to being an issue. Maybe your threads somewhere are a little off?

Of course not! They merely allowed you to struggle completing the shipping option until I e-mailed them thinking it may be a tech issue... Now it is 'improved' to telling you at the checkout again.

Nice to see an ungopped solution. Do you find that tracer deflecting your shots? I couldn't get on with a similarly sized Lighter-S and have had to go up to a Spitfire with a larger inner tunnel.

If your after WW2 kit check out Epic Militaria there a good one to use .

I was going to say exactly that!

Mmm, given how chewed out they are, even the hex bit is more of a token ritual at this point. Observation: money spent on tools is money saved on drill bits.

Few options. Dab of glue on the hex bit, let it set before trying to remove. If that doesnt work a torx might, but you'll want the right size. After that something like grinding a slot in the head to take it out with a flatblade screwdriver. And finally as mentioned get the big guns and drill it out. In future, i really suggest investing in a good quality set of hex drivers, really does make all the difference for the small screws you find in these things.

M4 - TM MWS AK - GHK MP5 - WE or VFC if feeling flush /thread

OP. Try before you buy. You will either love or hate. Expensive if it turns out to be hate. Stick with the TM's and dont dick around by "upgrading" their internals. It will make them worse.

You'll never get a job doing product demos for BBgunz4less with that attitude.

That depends on if there is a bear there to shit itself because the tree got shot down

just in case any youtubers are watching and weren't sure what he meant by that.

If a tree falls down in the forest but there's no marshall to hear it, is a gun really hot?

Or magic chrono tree If you can’t reach the tree then you need to ramp up the power If you hit the tree you’re good If the tree falls down you’re hot

Or just use the tried and tested method... Shoot at a drinks can: If it goes through the sides its OK If it goes through the base then its hot 😄

except gbbr's, hpa's and bolt actions

Which is why all sites should load an empty magazine (belonging to the player) with the site's own 0.2g BBs at chrono.

This post, right here, is why everybody should be thinking and talking in terms of Joules. Because I guarantee you that there are folk turning up spunking 0.36g at 350fps and when they get asked it they're "Using twos" at chrono, will say "Yeah, sure, I guess." If you're assuming that any given player has the remotest clue what they're doing, well, see this thread, and Ex-Workmate Eddie just got tugged for describing his green gas pistol as CO2, because, I dunno, CO2 is a gas, innit, and he puts gas in it.

Yeah, generally if a site lists fps as the unit of measurement for guns, it's on a 0.2g BB. Also they should be using joules

when a site quotes a limit as "fps" they don't mean raw velocity, they mean velocity (in feet per second) using a 0.2g bb. this is a statement of kinetic energy, but instead of using joules it's using a convoluted unit that mixes metric and imperial and sounds like it's just a velocity measurement to really confuse people. kinda the same way you fill your car with 50 litres of petrol but measure the fuel economy in miles per gallon. we just have to be awkward in this country. so in the case of a 400"fps" limit, 400fps on 0.2g = 1.49J of energy, a 0.4g bb fired with 1.49J of energy will be travelling roughly 282fps fortunately, there are calculators available to help out: https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/airsoft_fps_calculator just because you've said that i reckon we should use obol-barleycorns per microjiffy and yes, apparently the jiffy is actually a measurement of time equal to 1/65,536 of a second.....

So… The night before we were due to leave for Namsoft I suddenly find myself voiceless and shivering, running a temperature. A good night’s sleep and I am just fit enough to drive by nearly midnight the following day. Not the best of starts, but there we go. The van was packed, the tickets bought and the Covid test passed A-OK. Set up camp at about 2:30am as quietly as possible after nearly three hour drive. Decent safety brief; comprehensive despite almost every player being something of an old hand at the game. For the few that were new, nothing was omitted or rushed. Game started with clear objectives and well defined fire teams to carry them out. The basic premise of the game is the film Southern Comfort. This was about a group of national guardsmen on a training exercise in the Louisiana swamps that fall foul of a group of Cajun’s who believe that they have been fired upon. Good film, great theme for a game. The action started with some LARPY shit, role playing as F.B.I., local Sheriffs, Cajuns and Guardsman. Plenty of banter and an increasingly tense atmosphere as everyone anticipates the start of the fighting. Someone slots a sheriff and a several way firefight starts. The various groups pull out and regroup to decide how to achieve their objectives in a newly hostile environment. Playing as a Cajun, I accompany the small four man group to retrieve an ammo crate, having first to find the cash box to have the necessary funds. This goes surprisingly easy, as we find the sheriffs have arrested a fellow Cajun, and due to the presence of the hated ‘Feds, we surround them and demand his release. This achieved, he reveals that he is our contact as we lead him away. A good start. Crates retrieved, we proceed to hunt the US troops. Eversley Alpha is one hell of a site. There is a pile of rhododendrons, dense marsh and thick cover. With only about 35 players, we restricted the action down to easily identified areas and soon had the US in sight. They were oblivious to our presence, which is just how it should be. A short and murderous firefight followed, with excellent sportspersonship. I say sportsperson as that rare beast, the airsoft female was present in some numbers (OK about four, but it’s a start.) The swamp dwelling set victorious we carried on hunting the sheriffs in order to attack the F.B.I. contingent that accompanied them. All great fun. At some point I reverted to true character and lone wolfed for the rest of the weekend. I harassed and harried the opposition at every opportunity, sniping with the M14. The ML hop set up lofts .3s with ease, whilst over hopping .28s madly. I get some great shots at range, bopping GIs through sanger observation slits and picking off squads at long range. At some point I end up stalking at close range, and keep a whole section pinned down by firing from some rhododendrons at fifteen yards range. I feel guilty when one chap walks over, thinking that he has spotted me at range, and I shoot him at about two feet. One skinned knuckle and an apology at endex followed. Not that said chap was aggrieved. Admiration for crafty concealment far outshone the odd flesh wound. I lost the exact set up after this and concentrated on harrying any opposition that I saw. An attack of the enemy base I learned of via my radio; and this was joined with enthusiasm. Following on from my highly successful solo escapades, this was bound to end in disaster and I was captured. The closeness of the enemy’s respawn allowed them to swarm us before we could change position. Not being fools, this was exploited in full by the enemy. The game progressed in similar fashion for hours, neither of the sides having a complete upper hand all day. The site was amazing as ever. The gameplay is excellent. The scenario is brilliant and easily learned. The cherry on the cake as it were, came at the close of the day. Number one son had bought his girlfriend, assuming that the usual round of shopping and cafes would be indulged in as the players played. Unfortunately, no other female company arrived, and so as cash free and in totally unexpected twist, a hostage appeared. By the end of the weekend we had one really excited young lady, hell bent on playing air soft at the earliest opportunity. That to me is a result. Good on the organiser for giving a second (personal) detailed safety brief, and for changing the storyline so that everybody had a good game. Sunday dawned far too early, the night centring on Cuban cigars and single malts. I dragged a reluctant arse out of bed and lone wolfed the US soldiers again. I worked my way into the middle of the enemy position and let fly with the M14, many players moaning at ‘friendly fire.’ Ho, ho, ho. Overall, given the price, plus cost of diesel, this was not cheap. However, you only live once, and the fun factor was off the scale. I still feel ultra shit re: congested chest, lack of energy, lack of strength, BUT the buzz from the game has stayed for hours later. The social and in game play was simply spot on and I will attend next year, yet again. If anyone fancies a spot of redneck carnage and or Vietnam style airsoft action, send me a PM.

you mean valid defense...

Think it's an age thing, those of us that are more mature (🤣) grew up before it became acceptable to be offended by absolutely everything, when comedy did focus on differences, colour/race/religion were all fair game, & that included non white comics ripping the shit out of whitey, & everybody laughed & no one gave a toss............... in many ways, better times 🤔

For personal use no. What would make you a nob would be acting like you think you're the next Stanley Kubrick and starting a shitty youtube channel, then spamming social media begging for likes and subscribers

I actually thought about selling up after foobarring my shoulder but the wife actually talked me out of it “You might hurt now but who knows next year all is fixed and you’ll miss it and I won’t let you spend all that money a second time!!” That kinda made my mind up
