I think the g36 will be my next purchase. I've a p90 on the way, so better ease off the wallet for a while!

Just having a beer after a good day's play at Combat Airsoft Thetford which was really busy. Nice big play fields meant that it didn't feel too congested. My first time using my own rifle so that felt good, she's a big heavy lump though. Gives the old wrists a workout I guess. My new gloves had to come off because I couldn't wind the magazines with them and I need to figure out shoulder transitions with the sling but I worked around it in the tighter areas OK. Highlights; a hilarious "assault" on our position to retrieve the objective. We're dug in, probably fifteen of us. Smoke goes in from the enemy and only three dudes attack and get absolutely hosed with bb's. Poor souls Tried out being a bit sneakier and working with one of our teams bolt action guys to hold down a flank to great success. Normally i charge about a lot more so it was interesting to see how tense the sniping type game is Trying to be a bit steadier in general instead of just racing about was good too, I think helped by the extra range and accuracy. Still had a couple of suicide charges though, including one where I got the last defender but he got me too so I couldn't claim the objective! Gonna go back in a few weeks for their battle-sim event and try being out all day non-stop, sounds a bit intimidating but if you don't try you never know eh!

My latest loadout for use with my AEP as a primary

I just spent £20- on a belt that doesn't fit. What a huge waist!

I made a video saying (essentially) that when starting, don't buy el-cheapo bolt-action just get a regular old AEG to have the best chance of being able to properly engage in the game. This was around 10 years ago, maybe even more. I still get a youtube notification every couple of months of someone being incredibly salty about it - 'wahh you said the opposite of what I did here's an insult with nothing to back up my claims'.

I suspect that you meant to post this on Facebook and Reddit.

Spinach and anal sex. If you were forced to have it as a child, you'll hate it as an adult...

Let me guess, is it in Australia?

With time, effort and money you can tweak / get a standard 1.14 Joule AEG to shoot quite far if using a decent BB weight like 0.32g, certainly to the point where you can stand 10 meters further away than other players on your teams and shoot the exact opposition that they're engaging and know that most of the opposition players BB's will fall short and not get you. If you go on YouTube "Negative Airsoft" is spot on when he says in one video from 2023 that you can build an all purpose battle rifle that can be used for CQB and then the next moment be used as a half way house to a DMR when outside (it's what my M904E is now). I do enjoy having my DMR though, especially as I'm 50 / not that fit, and I'll play the morning with it then swap to my M904E after lunch. The major downside of running a DMR though is that you MUST have a sidearm as you'll only be able to shoot at people if they're over a certain distance away from you (MED, aka "Minimum Engagement Distance"). So, once say an enemy gets closer than 15 meters to you you'll need to use your sidearm / pistol to shoot them as getting hit close range with a heavy BB bloody hurts and will draw blood even through clothing. My sidearm is a mildly upgraded AAP-01. Others have recommended parts from AK2M4, and this parts supplier is damned good and is happy to answer questions, so if as your post all you want is to shoot at around 400 FPS on 0.20g BB's with your M908A then I've a feeling that a GearParts / XT M120 spring will be the safest option for you (possibly an M130, but if one day you're building a DMR I'd buy both anyhow as they're so cheap). This will give you the raw power, but your air volume etc. will not be high enough, so don't expect to become a lethal killer on the field Also the inner barrel you have is good enough, you don't really need to replace it, but I did with mine as I took it to the next level and wanted a Maple Leaf inner barrel to get a 100% perfect fit with the ML MR bucking (which with the right nub is a simple to install R-Hop).

Financial awareness so you don't spend all of your money on airsoft. It's way more easier than you would think.

Spend as little as possible until you've done at least 3 or 4 games and even then, listen to advice as most cheap Airsoft beginner kit is a waste of money. Those cool goggles, Shemagh, viper combat vest, shit fabric holsters, uncomfortable shit facemasks....it's all shit, slow down on the wasteful spending.
