Come on then, give us a clue.

all you had to do was lower your expectations for the definition of the term "working" it's a curse.....

According to TG, they'll hopefully be restarting shipping (over £135) to UK this week . . .

Yup, I'm the Guinea Pig for this. One of the RIFS I was after went out of stock so I'm just finalizing the order with their Customer Services this evening.

Remember, you don't want to aim for the legal limits. Aim to get below site limits. But be aware that chrono readings do vary between machines so you might be reading under the limit on yours but it could be over on the site one. As proven by most TM guns, you don't need max fps to be effective.

'Bolt action' implies typical airsoft snipers. However an aeg can also fire at 2.5 j as long as it can only fire once per trigger pull (no full auto) as can a GBBR again as long as it can only fire semi which covers DMRs which are typically aegs but capable of over 1.3j Your initial statement of 1.3 joules for anything capable of full or semi auto is incorrect, 1.3j only applies to full auto , my GBBRs have a bolt that loads the next projectile by moving and cocking the gun, but they are full auto capable so limited to 1.3j max. The Gas DMR I am building at the moment is internally the same but has a semi only selector so is ok up to the 2.5j although my local site limits DMRs to 1.9j.

I like the fact that he's prepared to "talk about postage" ffs, why, cos the guns are so cheap🤣 They say there's more out than in lol🥜

Those ASG chargers are bloody awful in my experience. Get yourself a decent charger and you might get away with a 1000mAh li-po all day.

Thank you every for the warm welcome! I think I’m either going to try going to either The Trail or Red Alert. I already have Eye pro and gloves (Revision Wolfspider and mechanix) and a set of boots so I think other than rental stuff I’m all good to go.

On legal specifics - no one cares unless an offence occurs or you come to the attention of the police for some other reason Possession of a RIF is not illegal, (possession in certain circumstances could be an offence - such as possession of land balaclava and a RIF in the bank) Under the VCRA the paint mattered at the point of sale ’wear’ would be some worn paint and it no longer covering >50% (Bearing in mind there appears to be a lot of two tone pistols with only the top coloured then they may not be VCRA compliant in the first place) A clean RIF is highly unlikely to be the result of wear - but I wouldn’t throw you in the dungeon for tidying up excessive wear For thread diversion ‘funny’ stories on motorbikes, I used to wear a full face helmet with flip visor open and ‘biker’ wrap sunglasses On a few occasions I would get stuck at a particular junction, it’s now replaced by the roundabout at the Stonehenge visitor centre, but it used to be part of the route used by long convoys of USAF transports either carrying something of interest or just a diversion/exercise. A police roadblock would appear and I’d be stuck for half an hour to an hour for a few parts of the road to be closed, the convoy to pass through and for them to have cleared far enough away Depending on what I had at the time I may have been on a ‘proper’ motorbike or on a bright orange Suzuki FZ50 with a granny basket on the front and Snoopy Red Baron stickers on the sides The basket typically contained a bottle of Polish pure spirt (no longer sold in civilized countries but can sometimes be found in home brew versions if you know the wrong people) I would then be sat waiting around with either the police or RMPs also waiting bored …. And looking at me & whatever I’m carrying One night the police decided to ‘observe’ my black wrap sunglasses and consider how effective they are in allowing me to see at night, and beginning to consider whether polish pure spirit could contribute to my night riding skills …… just as the barriers were being removed & I’m waved off

WANK! 😂 im glad someone I “know” got it hit me up when you flip it next week ya caahhhhhhhhnt!!

Problem with you is your ridiculous optimism. Few boneyard rifs I've looked at are that good...

Hi @EvilMonkee yes as per the site they will be available early December, apologies to all, just had to focus elsewhere of late.

Should be fine in a CM.128. I run my CM.123 off of 1200mAh 7.4V stick lipo brutally shoehorned in and with a Deans connector replacing the standard contacts, but that was more just for the fun of it. A drop in replacement makes sense and I found even a tiny 7.4V lipo gave a far snappier trigger response than the stock NiMH. I'd stick to 7.4V for a very specific reason. CYMAs come with higher powered springs as stock, and the cheapest way for a seller to get them down to UK power levels is just to lop some (or actually a lot) of coils off. My CM.516 came shooting bang on 1J, but the spring had been cut down so much that it was barely long enough to return the piston fully. Not a problem with 7.4V, it shoots quite nicely. But when I dropped in an meaty 11.1V 2600mAh highish-C battery, I got significant overspin on semi, double-shooting on most trigger pulls. Unless you're sure that yours already has a full length M100 or heavier spring in it, I'd go with 7.4V. Capacity and even C rating won't matter that much with a stock CYMA, as the draw from the motor will be the limiting factor rather than supply from the battery.

Not an answer but a look at the real rifle which may point you in the right direction.

In the past they were the go to brand for reliability, but fortunately for us poors the ACM manufacturers have upped their game in terms of qc. I agree their gas guns are great, but some models can have issues (I'm looking at you FN57 and R870)

Very true, I generally have my guns running on the low side and dont have any range issues. The DMR i'll be quite happy at anywhere around 1.7j which will give plenty of headroom. I was just making the point that legally it could run at 2.5j as it is only capable of semi auto fire .

I made a lovely curry last night. Put ginger and everything in it. The kids didn't like it at all. I suppose they were quite fond of the cat though 😥 Regards

Heya, I’m pretty new to airsoft, does anyone know any sites near Swindon that are worth checking out and if any groups are looking for new people? I’m kinda going in blind on my own for this one.

ready for the cold ⛄⛄⛄ my stuff: FMA bump helmet w/go pro & external battery counterweight Revision Sawfly glasses Viper VX chest rig w/ dangler pouch and elastic mag sleeves Belt order: kydex holster (waiting on mount), Tasmanian Tiger taco pouches, TAS dump pouch and a small utility pouch. Mechanix fastfit gloves asolo fugitive gtx boots

going to 7.4v lipo won't be an issue. its a case of battery physical size and connectors. you either need to rewire your gun or get a AEP lipo converter (like this https://www.airsoftworld.net/new-tokyo-marui-micro-aep-to-smg-7-skorpion-mac10-battery-adaptor-for-li-po-lipo-7-4v-550mah.html )

eBay UK for cheap surplus MTP and DPM Flecktarn.co.uk for budget-to-mid range stuff that hits a nice value point Hueys.co.uk Tactical-kit.co.uk for more gucci stuff UKtactical.com is a steady bet British Tactical is great but takes a smidge more knowledge to understand and C2R fast are about to launch their site if you're feeling rich and want what the SAS use these days. The majority of the rest of the tactical gear available in the UK is clones imported from China and some is good for airsoft and some is hot garbage, you roll the dice.

Safe bet? Yes, almost universally in terms of (at least) decent performance and great reliability. I also mostly collect/build and very occasionally play and I've got TMs that have sat doing nothing for a decade, I pull them out and they work more than well enough to be competitive on the field, I have no stresses or worries about them. For me that's what matters. 'Best'? I actually genuinely would be a millionaire if I had £1 for every time I'd read that in relation to airsoft but with no further explanation.

@Tackle My consolation prize A Cyma 870 springer with a decent quantity of cartridges for the price of postage 🤌😂 Want to paint the pump & stock to make it look a bit more “Magpul” Then I will day glo fibre the sights. Planning a few pistol & shotgun games on our site soon 😁

Doesn't the 2.5 apply to anything capable of only 1 shot per trigger pull not just to bolt action ? otherwise all those DMR setups are in the poo

My Titan 3,000 mAh Li-Io was £36 from the site shop (but my membership does give me 10% off of all purchases). The way I play though it probably won't last me a whole day at my next game, at times my M904E may as well be an M249 😁 Edit: Also on Sunday just gone I probably used around 3,200 mAh of charge overall.

I'm a guy who subscribes strongly to the idea of 'suppressive fire'. I got quite a few kills on my last game when I was spamming shots at an obvious location and people would either peek into it or jump out from it. And the rest of the time I like to think I'm stopping them from using a good firing position to shoot at my team. Also - I've paid good money to be there, I'm damn well going to fire my gun as much as I can - it's fun Firing lots of single shots and 3-5 round bursts I estimate that I used around 1500mAH worth of juice (at 7.4v) for a full day's play on Sunday (one Li-Po emptied, plus a bit from my Titan which I wasn't sure was working ok, so was my backup). I used up a bag and half of BB's, so between 4,000-4,500 BBs in that time. It's good to hear the Li-Po storage thing can be abused somewhat. I can't find my old 7.62 ammo can to store 'em in though, just using a Quality Street tin at the moment. I suspect that'd melt pretty quickly in the worst case scenario 😕

Is he having a fuckin giraffe??? 3k would buy you a real M4 ffs.

A single Kong Power 7.4v 1300mAh 20c will last me a whole day. I stick to single shot and only at targets I know I can hit. In a stalemate I'll move instead of the endless exchange. Of course I take about 3 batteries on a game day just in case 😉

What he said , I’m terrible at looking after my Batts , I’ve never set them for storage , they don’t get touch until the day before my next game day I alway put them on charge first then when it’s beeping full I THEN put them on to balance . Touch wood the only batteries I’ve had die on me what I’d say was prematurely are 9.9v LiFe I was using for a couple of yrs all the ‘normal’ LiPo’s have been fine .

yeah one of them would be enough thats true and i cant remember of the top of my head just did some digging online and found it sure it was £35. I was meant to have the 908 but they labelled all there 904a stock as 908b stock so got that sent to me and then didnt have the 908 in stock to swap so refunded me the difference in price and sent me a free speedloader. So i only have the buffer tube space for a battery in the 904a Yeah agreed for the sake of £15 give or take its not worth worrying about in my opinion and i can get a 18cmx2cm battery in the buffer tube of my 904A with it just sticking into the stock a little it but doesnt make a difference as i have the stock extended so doesnt interfere.

It's not the length so as the girth as the actress said to the bishop. Wiring can take up quite a bit of space in the buffer, so you're either looking at trying to stuff the battery and wiring in side by side, or coil the wiring down into the buffer (remembering that it has to be long enough to reach the end) and ram the battery down on top. All that said, I'ma go and do some experiments now, as those 16-18mm x 20mm 11.1Vs might actually go into my MP5K or down a buffer tube.

At this point I'd say try asking them. If they say no then it's up to you if you want to take it further. They might just say yes and it'll be a darn sight quicker than arguing the toss with us all here.

Well, that's sent me off down a rabbit hole of yeahbuts. I think the pragmatic answer is no, of course not, because nobody will ever know or care. Legally, I have absolutely no idea how it would be interpreted. I mean, the IF hasn't just lost the paint itself, just sitting there. One one hand, it's been lost through the actions of the owner, so they modified it. But on the other hand, there was - probably - no intent, or mens rea. On the gripping hand, anyone who had deliberately removed paint could say "Yeah, it just wore off, legit." Like so much airsoft legislation, I doubt we'll ever know, unless you can somehow persuade the police and CPS to prosecute you. Fun story, I asked a copper chum to report me to the Fiscal for wearing a flip-front motorcycle helmet flipped up, to settle a spat over the statute and interpretation, but she didn't want to do the paperwork. Spoilsport. That's a £100 FPN tariff and no licence endorsement through, I'd hate to be a test case for anything toy-firearms related.

I do think the new BTP camo works better now we're in the autumn, even the desert version would do a better job blending in with the golden leaves that are all over the ground and the low trees. Dark stuff was less effective and sticking out a bit more than usual yesterday... In the morning I was wearing a black camo UBACS style undershirt, and I wished I'd bought the multi-cam version instead. I definitely don't need stuff slowing me down. That would = stopped A massive shout-out to this chap, who did the WW2 load out properly... He even lit up a pipe during the rest/reload breaks for the full effect Tally-ho!

It's the airsofter's natural progression: At first he plays with nothing but the gun and a couple of mags because that's all he can afford. Then proceeds to buy all sorts of stuff, plate carriers, pouches, tons of mags, optics and what not. The ultimate stage is back to gun + a couple of mags because the rest of his gear just slows him down.

Bargain-bin S95 DPM + cheap hat and gloves off Wish + used/boneyard Viper skeleton harness. ESS goggles, Tigris mesh mask. Kombat UK universal holster. A couple of SA80 pouches, and a cheapo fast mag holder for when I'm in a hurry (Got 4 of those on the way from that there China) Works alright! Just wish the DPM could hide my belly a bit better

Column A, column B. None of them should be doing it. Export is irrelevant. Two offences are being committed: one at the point of manufacture, and another by possession with the intent to sell (to anyone, anywhere). But it's the publicising of it that's the real problem, and their "lol whatevs" attitude. The chances of it being an issue are tiny, but it's blithering idiocy to even risk it, since the State does get an occasional hard-on for anything firearms related, and Eagle6 are openly flaunting their contempt for the law. I just hope that they don't have any disgruntled customers who see it and figure out that it might be a way to stitch them up see justice done. Why it's an issue for everybody else is that the airsoft defence for selling a RIF could be removed on Ministerial whim: airsoft isn't even listed in the legislation, it's only mentioned in an explanatory note which is little more than an opinion piece, and a different opinion could be given tomorrow. Retailers are being trusted to self-police and uphold the letter and spirit of the laws around airsoft guns, and if too many of them get caught showing thumbing their noses, it could have consequences. It almost certainly won't, and the world will keep turning either way.

We do regard two-tones as a sign of impatience by the owner. 😁

The fact its going abroad doesn't change the fact that they are manufacturing an illegal weapon in the UK tho.
