Could this battery be fixed
ak2m4 and 2 others reacted to EvilMonkee for a topic
It is not a question of could it be fixed, its a question of should it be. Spend some money and get a decent 7.4 Lipo and a good balance charger3 points -

Hi all, I have joined the forum based on a recommendation from a friend. I am a replica airgun enthusiast and have in the last year or so had my eyes opened to some of the truly excellent replica RIF's available in the airsoft world. I am not a gamer (bit old for it now), more of a collector and enthusiast. I currently own the following RIF's - Northeast MP2A1 Uzi 6mm KWC 1911 Parkerised 6mm FPR Stainless Steel Desert Eagle 6mm Umarex GHK Steel Glock 17 6mm Looking forward to having a good read through the content here and hopefully contributing going forward. Cheers - JD2 points -

£200 for a couple of x-poice red-dots. Externally a bit beaten up but the optics are crystal clear and the red-dot's are fully working. oh and I ordered on the 12th and they arrived on the 14th (very well packaged I may add).2 points -
Keeping it as simple as possible: That nickel battery should go into a battery recycling bin. The simplest and cheapest combination of battery and charger that will work for you is: Something like https://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-30c-continuous-discharge-airsoft-lipo-battery.html - although you will have to check the battery dimensions, I don't know how much space is available in an AUG. The important thing is that it's 7.4V lipo, with an airsoft mini-Tamiya connector. + https://www.componentshop.co.uk/700ma-charger-for-1s-to-3s-3-7-7-4-11-1v-li-po-and-life-battery-packs.html I stress that's the minimum charger you'll need, not what I'd recommend. If you're intending to stick with airsoft, the minimum I'd recommend, for a bit more including postage, is: https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/product/toolkitrc-m4ac-compact-charger/ with an XT60 connector and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265932645470 XT60 female to mini-Tamiya male.2 points

Hi, Selling my coveted grail pistol as I need to free up some funds It is a TM MEU based 1911 fully upgraded with a rare, custom-order guarder kit along with fully steel/stainless external parts and upgraded internals. It took a lot of headache (and money) to get it spec'd out exactly like a RS Springfield Professional 1911, sans the magwell which no company was producing a steel option. Hopefully if you're into 1911's you would appreciate this is the original 1911 model that passed the FBI HRT trials, and also was the base for the well known MEU pistol's late variants. Even if you don't care about that stuff, it's a beautifully kitted out pistol nonetheless, and as far as I know the only one in the airsoft world that sports the original Professional look. Really sad to let this one go but hopefully it can find someone who can also appreciate the true value of it ( or anyways is more financially comfortable than I am at the moment ). The gun comes with the pistol itself and 2 magazines. If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll get back to you asap. Price is £450 - includes PayPal fees and postage As always, I've listed the full list of upgrades below - split into upper and lower assembly for convenience. Upper TM MEU base gun Guarder custom order aluminum kit for MEU (S.A. Pro model) Guarder Loading nozzle & valve Guarder lightweight nozzle housing Airsoft Masterpiece stainless barrel bushing Guarder steel front and rear sights Nineball vsr-10 purple hop rubber Guarder steel spring plug Guarder steel slide stop reinforcement (internal) Guarder steel dummy firing pin and pad Guarder stainless recoil spring guide Nineball dyna piston head Nineball 6.00 power barrel (112.5mm) Guarder steel outer barrel & chamber (nowlin .45 marking) AIP CNC brass hop adjusting wheel for hi capa Lower Guarder steel mainspring housing for MEU (black) Nova Springfield ambi thumb safety (stainless, Cerakoted graphite black) Navidrex mahogany grips (custom order, square magwell cut and finished with tung oil) Nova 3 hole CNC aluminum trigger for MEU Guarder stainless trigger bow Guarder stainless sear spring Guarder steel hammer for MEU black Guarder steel hammer strut WIITECH CNC steel mainspring plunger AIP CNC steel hammer sear AIP stainless firing pin lock Cowcow IP1 stainless disconnector Guarder steel valve knocker Guarder steel hammer & sear pins Guarder steel grip safety (black) Guarder steel magazine release button Guarder steel slide stop (black) Guarder stainless plunger tube (black) Guarder stainless plunger pins (black) Guarder steel grip screw (black, finish is worn) Laylax (nineball) "AERO" purple gas routes for mag (x2) 2x TM MEU magazines£450

EDcase reacted to Emergencychimps for a topic
Hi Cem, Welcome! Airsoft is a very welcoming sport and as long as you know a few key words such as "Hit", "Medic" etc you should be fine. If you can get hold of the sites rules beforehand, read them/use google translate then that would be sensible as you need to understand what is and isn't acceptable at their site. At my local site there is a lot of players that have English as a second language and it doesn't seem to cause them any problems. Airsoft is often labelled as a team sport - but often people do their own thing all the time, you're not there to do as you're told etc and other players won't listen when told etc. Communication helps, but it also isn't a barrier for entry to the sport. Regarding your physical condition - it depends. There are players who are wheel chair bound that do the sport, seen people play using a crutch. You will have to judge what you can and are willing to do, some players run around and others don't. When you play, be sensible and know your own limits. If you aren't sure, take it easy and ramp up the effort levels until you are happy etc. Camo Some games (not standard skirmishes) will have camo rules and it's generally a version of tan vs green/black. However these are more specialist events, most sites run armbands vs non armbands or Red armbands vs Blue Armbands. What you wear doesn't matter. If you do milsim or weekend events then yes it will matter but those companies make that very clear. Most skirmish sites accept everything. The 3 games rule is so that you can prove you're a regular airsoft skirmisher, this needs to be in more than a 3 month period, so doing 3 games in a 4 week period won't work, it needs to be in more than 3 months. This rule is there so you can purchase a Realistic Imitation Firearm (or RIF for short). One way of doing this is to be a member of a site who then add your details to UKARA which is a database of regular players. Airsoft sites check this database to make sure you're a regular airsofter before selling you a RIF. This is to do with the VCRA (violet crime reduction act), its frustrating and easy to get around, however you really shouldn't, it's easier if you just follow the guidance as ultimately following this protects the sport. If you don't follow this then I guess you don't care about the sport. Another reason to follow the guidance is it will save you money. Buying Airsoft RIFS, kit, boots etc is expensive. hold off spending until you're really sure you love the game, rent for the first few times. If after 3/4 games you're hooked and know you'll do it enough, then start buying your own, but by then you should be registered for UKARA. If you buy a £150 RIF, plus batteries etc it's hard to know what to get until you have been a few times, understanding brands, type of rif etc takes time to understand and actually using them. You'll almost certainly not buy a great RIF for your first one if you buy before you play, so play a few times, learn what you like and don't like from the rentals and other players, then spend your cash.1 point -
Could this battery be fixed
Rogerborg reacted to Emergencychimps for a topic
It's a big battery (physically) but it's only 600 mah, which is quite small. Assuming you don't know much about batteries (I don't know loads, but this is basic), the number of v a battery has is how powerful is that battery, so an 11.1 is more powerful than a 7.4. mAh is how long they can shoot for, (some guns are more efficient and get more shots per mAh), I go on the basis of 1 shot per mAh so a 600 mAh battery is around 600 shots. Discharge rates can have an effect as well, a 7.4 lipo with a 25c discharge will seem more powerful than a 7.4 lipo with a 15c discharge rate, but it'll get flat quicker. There are 3 main types of airsoft batteries. Nimah which is what you have there, they're big, old and less powerful (an 8.4 nimah is weaker than a 7.4 lipo). They are what used to be popular over 10 years ago.....times have moved on. Lipo is now the main battery type, they're smaller and more powerful but need to be looked after (stored safely, good charger and care taken in general....no stabby). They can't be run down completely either. Life is the newest kind, I don't know much about them but they seem to have higher mAh for the physical space they take and aren't as easily damaged. They haven't really taken off yet, but I'm not sure why. Fixing your current battery is like fixing a knackered old car that won't go more than 10 miles even when fixed. I'd recommend a new battery, probably a lipo. If you stick a really powerful battery (11.1v lipo) into an older gun it'll probably rip itself apart internally. Older guns just can't handle the power, think of sticking a really powerful car engine into an old Ford fiesta.....fun while it lasts but that won't be long. So I'd recommend a 7.4 lipo. You can go to somewhere like a component shop which was always reasonably priced, probably looking around 15 for a 1600 mAh UpTo £25/30 for a 2600mah. Just make sure it'll physically fit where the battery goes and you get the right connector type (normally dean's or Tamiya). I think the titan lipo batteries are great (got mine from land warrior). More expensive but have a guarantee, loads more mAh for the space but they're basically double the price.1 point -

Whinge Regarding Shipping Costs
sonofsammo reacted to ak2m4 for a topic
Only 1kg, would only be £3.95 via Royal Mail 24 Tracked service. My guess is in order to simplify their website backend shipping function they just use a single shipping weight. It's a pretty lazy way doing shipping but very tempting as it can cut a huge amount of confusion. Took me a few hours to get my head around how the shipping worked and I had to "fudge" the system in order to get it working as I wanted. So many work-arounds.1 point -
Whinge Regarding Shipping Costs
sonofsammo reacted to ak2m4 for a topic
Airsoft companies have been over charging for years sadly. Some do it to try to get the customer to order more items in the attempt to justify the shipping etc. I actually subsidise 90% of the shipping fees in order to retain customers. £12.99 is very high for some BB's, what was the total weight?1 point -
