have to say i agree here. at the risk of opening a can of worms I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be continuing to buy stuff from Russia given current events. I might like their kit on a technical level, but I don't want any part in supporting the present actions of their government, no matter how indirectly.

Y'all are thinking its something shady like out of his bedroom window in a built up area, it could just as easily be out of his mums corsa window when he went to meet the lads in Aldi car park. Our beloved hobby is safe.

"test fired 10 shots from my window" Tell me I'm not the only one who read this and thinks they shouldn't be allowed nea anything remotely gun shaped

Yeah but you get a 25p refund every time someone tells you they'll definitely come back to you on payday.

Don't forget the 40 or so into puddles on the walk to start point after briefing 😅

If you're up against the puffa jacketed teen terrors then 3 high caps will get you about 6 acknowledged kills...

I'm not you, but you're asking me so I say mid caps, 5 will get you 350 guaranteed kills, though deduct about 50 for the random plinking that's obligatory whilst waiting for the game to start. Still, 300 kills dude, that's enough, don't be greedy.

Had a great day at Reforger and even better to randomly meet so many AFUK members. Got to try out my new DMR by Luke of Negative Airsoft and had a blast in the morning with it performed excellently. Was fun going on the left flank having that little more range watching those bbs falling short and taking out the shooters until that other sniper/DMR would fire back ha ha. That's what you get trying to flank in the open I guess. Changed up for the afternoon to normal AEG again had a blast was some great fun. Though I did underestimate how many bbs I would go through and only just had enough spare on me in the field to resupply all but my highcap mag. Even went down to my pistol in the capture the flag game(defending). Though was great that I was able to to stop 2 captures with said pistol one with the last shot of magazine. Then was killled during mag change. The last game enjoyed the 25min rest we managed to have ha ha. How they didn't spot me on that final push I have no idea. But was a very enjoyable day and a great place to play as a sniper or DMR player as proved by the number of them who showed up. Oh by the way @Skullchewer that's a great pic of the AFUK patch in action you should get one😁

You can get rid of a lot of it by brimming the reservoir, covering the top with your thumb and shaking the mag to get the bbs to settle, and repeating that a few times until the bbs can't move at all. You can dive around all day and they won't make a peep until you start using it.

Just found out my brother in law is a mime artist! He kept that quiet.

Funny that people don't feel the same way about sending money to American or Chinese companies whenever their respective governments gun down a minibus full of kids, assassinate some journalists or harvest organs from prisoners. Nor for that matter did anyone seem to be all that bothered about buying Russian kit in the aftermath of Georgia and Chechnya. We've had a hand in demolishing a few countries ourselves in the last few decades. Let's not get carried away with framing this as a moral choice, or implying some kind of treason or direct contribution to whatever misery the Russian government is inflicting at this moment. If people want to draw a line with where they spend their own money then fair enough - personally I don't buy anything from Amazon, but I'm not going to judge people who do. On a practical level you'd have to be nuts to try and mail order Russian replica firearms parts at the moment. But it sounds like some people are a few newspaper headlines away from burning their cyma ak74s at the moment and it's all a bit silly and hypocritical imo.

Hard agree with the posters above. I'll not purchase anything from Russia or Belorussia now, most likely forever. As someone who mostly does Soviet WW2 airsoft, that does make getting good kit difficult as the main suppliers are either in Russia, Belorussia or Ukraine. But WW2 airsoft is a nicety that my friends and family who live under the Russian bombardments wish they could go back to. War is much nicer with toy guns.

To be fair, he does seem like more of a collector / displayer than a player. Maybe we could apply some of that Twatter/Google language policing to flag up the word "new" in any advert.

I raise you - Bellenden Gardens 😂😂

So many wasted kills 😂

OR just get two JG hi-caps for now start saving and then get the mids at a later date ?

I paid £299 for mine from Patrol base with mags at about £30 a go I deliberatly waited as I wasn't prepared to pay the £450 figures being asked by a couple of sites.

I was further behinds you but directly behind the objective I really blended in well with the tree I was behind in my blue top/grey trousers and sandy cap ha ha

Ha! As you well know, I've bloody tried, twice! Both times royal mail have apparently binned them. I've messaged Profink about trying for a third time. I did indeed, not as much as I'd have liked as I was too hot, and kept talking my helmet off, so I got lots of great footage of trees and grass, but the rest of it I pulled together what I could....

Oh, that's handy. 19.18mm + 2 x 2.46mm = 24.1mm. 👍 I've been getting on OK with generic 19mm / 2.5mm = 24.0mm o-rings, stretched out by popping them over the cylinder and then heating them a bit - you know, a fire-based ritual ceremony.

@RostokMcSpoons cylinder internal diameter varies quite a bit, from 23.6mm to 24mm. Recheck the seals on yours. Most problems stem from the piston head o-ring either isn't big enough or something is blocking the vents (not allowing the oring to be pushing out). A BS910 o-ring is slightly larger so grab one of those. The o-ring on the nozzle might make a small amount of difference but in my experience doesn't affect fps greatly, it's more there to keep the nozzle centered.

Yep there is. Just pm me for payment details.

As long as the wiring reaches the correct terminal and the doesn't foul the way the motor sits against the gears and box then you'll be fine.

From SWIT Airsoft.

L42a1 would be nice , Ares though so I’d only be able to sit and cradle it , staring across the horizon wondering what a working airsoft version would be like

That's odd. Mine came with no size differential and mine fits my 62/63cm noggin with plenty of room to spare despite the largest size on the site saying 61cm. I stand corrected. I have found this Ops Core helmet that will fit a 63cm head. Ops Core Green Od Fg Swat Tactical Maritime Abs Helmet Jump Rail L/Xl (lonex.co.uk)

Personally I've found I automatically play differently depending on how much ammo I carry. Certainly in the early days when I'd have a couple of 300 round maracas, I'd use weight of fire a lot. Moving to mid caps meant I had to put a some thought into ammo conservation, and the issue of timing reloads came into play. For about the last 9 years I've used mostly GBBR's and whilst it's a huge disadvantage in terms of ammo capacity, I find it much more satisfying. Having <40 rounds per mag makes me much more careful with my trigger finger. End of the day, running high, mid or even low caps are great fun in different ways. We can all give our opinions, but you'll find what works best for you and then down the line you'll change your mind.

Acquisitions through the middle of last year. Haven't written a list in a long time, but I'll make it optional viewing:

If a percentage of the money you pay for goods will be used for putins war i think you need to have a quiet word with your self. I would not advise you purchase anything from Russia purely based on common sense. Bleed the fuckers dry.

Yep, get out & use it, you might be pleasantly surprised. Very few aeg's need upgrades from the off, maybe just a barrel clean & hop adjustment.

You can grab this one https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/jg-works-g36-m4-magwell-adapter-with--nozzle-9801-p.asp , it's cheaper. Personally I use PTS G mags, they are expensive but slimmer than g36 original and works without any problems.

Hi bud and welcome to the forum 👋 Seeing as you have never used it yet,I would be inclined to field it for a couple of games to get the feel for it and check its performance.You may just be surprised.On the other hand it may be shite in which case the guys here can advise on upgrade possibilities 👍 Have fun with your new hobby and enjoy.🙂 Remember to call your hits.👌 Regards

Yep understood 👍 The charging handle component you did for me is still going strong.🙂 I will pm you. Thanks 👍

Yep they work, not as good as G36 mags but it's close, if your a bit of a "Hose monster" you may find they struggle to keep up.

Absolute hoot using it like that. I run .30's in mine and am very impressed with the performance out of the box . 2 or 3 mags and a speed loader and you're good to go !

Depends on your play style I guess… ?

Try this place for weird parts bud Is it this? https://airsoftspareparts.com/en/m249-parts/bullgear-cnc-hop-up-m249

Were you on the right flank with me and a few others in the holly bushes? We had that nicely sewn up 😎Basically did to them what they did to us in the first game!

Hello, We upgraded the rubber to a 60' Maple and running on Abbey Predator Red can it hops and sends .32's a superb distance with scary accuracy at 1.1j Cheers

I think rogerborg has a good point. Have you played before? If you haven't, the best one is probably one that a site rents to you. Rent the first at least 3 times. Yes it will cost you a bit extra but I swear there are thousands of people who have thought airsoft was the dogs danglies on YouTube, maybe had an awesome first game, but by their 3rd/4th game have lost the hype and they've sunk a small fortune into the hobby and you never get back what you've paid when selling it. It's also a great way to get chatting to other players on site, airsofters love talking about their gear and guns, chat to them, ask to hold them, test shoot them etc. You'll get a better understanding of what you want, what's available and you'll at least get a bit chatty with the other players. If you haven't played before then you'll need to get a two tone, which if you get into the sport you'll probably be keen to replace, so you won't end up saving any cash. If you have played before and like m4s personally I'd suggest a g&g m4, anyone in your price range that you like the look of. They all basically do the same thing and the quality control of g&g seems good for the money, so then just getting one you like the look of is sensible, longer barrels aren't more accurate etc. The performance and functionality of them will all be the same/very similar. Don't like m4s? well......I'd honestly recommend sucking that up and getting an m4. You can get some great cheap ones, Parts are easy to get, they're common so onsite techs aren't working on something weird and they should be good to go out of the box from a brand like g&g or specna. Accessories, kit (chest rigs, mag pouches) are common and cheap. Also, they can be lovely. If you really must have an AK or some other weird shaped one, by the time you can justify spending the money you'll be in a better place to understand what's good, what you're looking for etc. Just don't be one of those people who is like.....I've just bought this gnu , is it any good?

hmm, that's not the type that i was thinking of (the one i had was obviously textured) might be worth checking the rear of the track anyway make sure it's clean and smooth. same goes for the cylinder/cylinder head combo, nothing wrong with that on paper (even matching brands which isn't even strictly necessary) you can split the compression check to see which component it is. piston+cylinder (use the palm of your hand over the end, you'll feel if air's leaking past your hand) once you know the pistons good just add the cylinder head and check, then if that's good add the nozzle. i'm thinking atm either piston o-ring or perhaps the nozzle-cylinder head (sometimes they can be off on size)

You will get a variety of answers to this question. I would still go with the traditional G&G Combat Machine Raider. They are solid out of the box and easily upgradeable. Start by sticking in a ZCI 6.02mm barrel and a yellow Maple Leaf Macaron rubber with AK2M4's red Omega nub for your first upgrade. Maybe add a ZCI plastic rotary hop unit as well.

I've floated my latest marsupial fighting series idea to my bank manager. If all goes well, Mortal Wombat will be on your screens soon.

No one makes Lee Enfield's for years, now they all come at once haha. Although knowing Ares, they will probably charge like £600 for it..... Though the No4T sniper version is 😍

Trying to build my channel. Would appreciate your comments with what you think. I've started a YouTube channel dedicated to my airsoft plays & reviews. I only intended the footage to be clipped together so I could show others the different sites around the southern region of the Uk as I found it difficult to find videos when I first started in December and so I can be immortalised in history as being a nobody lol. I hope you enjoy and hope it helps somewhat. Here’s the link to my YouTube https://youtube.com/c/MassacreDemon Here’s one of my video’s my editing skills could be better but I guess I’ll get better as time goes on

Hi, ALL! 👋 Here is part 6! 😁 Stable weather for the beginning of March, I do better in this part…. 🤪 Doing the best with what I have, enjoy it for what it is! 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷
