Lipo compatible is a meaningless marketing joke. I've been running lipos in all my aegs for about 15 years, none of which have had mosfets or any other "essential upgrades", with no problems.

Welcome to the madhouse. 😁 I have the honey badger m904g. It's awesome. It's my first AEG and you can't go too far wrong with it. I've added parts, tuned it, removed parts, got a pat on the head from Kevin at Q in the states (original designer of the honey badger and all round nice bloke) too. Learn the steps to program it and it's a hoot. 😁 I've added: battery box extension, maple leaf bucking, +50mm tight bore, gearbox shimmed and greased, paint job, go faster motor. I've messed with springs and managed to lock the gearbox ARL (anti reverse latch) and it still came back for more. Currently just under 1 joule on 0.28's. I love it.

I haven't used a fire bag in years. But I do make sure they are stored at the correct voltage and charge/discharge them slowly.

I thought the downsides outweighed the positives, so I went with a 9.9V LiFe instead. At the time I wasn’t comfortable with the low voltage puffing or the risk of fire, and with LiFe both are reduced.

Custard and Haribo are traditional. The Omnissiah welcomes Tangfastics.

I find lamb tends to be recieved more favourably than goat, although ymmv depending on the particular spirit you're trying to appease.

I'd advise against that M904L type stock it's extremely easy to lose that battery extension. The plastic piece is barely hold by two tiny tabs. Fell off on my first game I was lucky I played indoor and I found it... Internally all of them the same. If you fancy an UMP style gun M917C could be at least a bit more unique choice.

I've spent weeks researching what to get as my first AEG and after running out of resources to read, I thought what better than to post here for more in depth advice. So where I'm up to so far. I've come to the conclusion that I want to get one of Double Eagles M90XX or M91XX models. I'm aware that they all have basically the same internals apart from the length of barrel and that the main difference comes in what they're made of/ their shape etc. With it being my first gun and only having played a handful of times, I don't really understand how different parts impact how the gun performs but I saw a post saying that getting an inner barrel length of over 300mm would have a poor air volume because they all use a 3/4 cylinder. I don't know what any of that means and it's just one guy who said it. I get my UKARA number after this weekend so I've been looking at what's in stock where and choosing from them. There's 3 on Patrol base: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/double-eagle-m904l-fire-control-system-edition https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/double-eagle-m916b-utr556-long-metal-handguard-version https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/double-eagle-m918g-utr-ek47-w-falcon-fire-control-system and on BB guns for less: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/double-eagle-m904a-honey-badger-rifle-with-falcon-system-in-black.html https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/double-eagle-m906c-ar15-rifle-with-falcon-system-in-black.html https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/double-eagle-m907d-ar15-rifle-with-falcon-system-in-black.html https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/double-eagle-m908a-ar15-rifle-with-falcon-system-in-black.html That's where I'm at, have chosen to go for a double eagle because of the falcon fire system and I like the look of the guns (a bit m4 but a "different" look). I'll generally be playing outdoors and like moving around quite a bit in my playstyle. I know that the 904's are full polymer but don't know the changes until 908 where they're full metal. Any words of wisdom will be massively appreciated. I know that the most likely advice will be to go for what I like the look of and whether I want to spend more on full metal or less on polymer but I've looked for so long that I just need a fresh set of eyes because I've ran out of resources XD Thank you!

Again this isn't 100% true. As long as you're sensible and check the battery hasn't gone all puffy you should be fine. As for storage so long as the battery isn't flat or left plugged into a gun with a mosfet you should be ok

That's true. An aeg doesn't care what it's eating just so long as it's volts.

Fixed the nozzle! Seems to be holding up nicely at today's game🤞🤞🤞

I think it is, with the caveat that check your rifs have a low voltage cut off or you're prepared to check the battery throughout the day or swap to a second pack if needed. Lipo batteries can have much stronger output than batteries of a comparable size in other chemistries. When we want rifs to look a particular way, use particular stocks having to house batteries can be the limiting factor with lipo batteries it much less of an issue.

Stick em in here: Parts - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk) Can you post lithium batteries with Royal Mail? Packaging guidelines: Each parcel must contain no more than four cells or two batteries installed in a device. For lithium ion/polymer batteries the Watt-hour rating must not exceed 20Wh per cell or 100Wh per battery. A standard 1300mAh 7.4v works out to 9.62Wh and your battery is 22.2Wh so all airsoft batteries are well within limits

Adding to the above it's the M906C all the way from the seven you've listed. Out of the box it's very good for the money, however do be careful with the following (for all Double Eagles with the Falcon controller)... - Using a heavy amount of full auto is not great, the motor will get very hot / you'll use a lot of battery capacity / the Falcon controller can fail due to it. Set the full auto to a three round burst and increase the life of your rifle, plus most places that allow full auto usually want players to stick to short bursts and not overshoot other players. - The Falcon controller doesn't have great battery management, so you 100% must remember to disconnected any batteries after playing. Some good points about the M906C... - It has a 230mm inner barrel, so perfect to swap out with a Maple Leaf AEG 230mm inner barrel. - Add an MR bucking and Omega nub to the above inner barrel and you have an "out of the box" R-Hop (what this means is that you'll be able to shoot heavier BB's like 0.32g or 0.30g and get amazing range. - A Maxx Model M4A-PRO hop unit fits perfectly (FYI the Retro Arms CNC hop unit does not fit, it's too long). Also if using a Maxx hop unit you'll need to swap to a 21.25mm Maxx nozzle as well. - The quick change spring is easy to swap out, and you'll get better power from the right spring (the springs as standard in the DE M900's aren't that good). Go to https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/ and get an XT M100 spring which will take you close to around 345 FPS on 0.20g, and if you go with heavy BB's the M105 is spot on. - Swap to a PTS EPS stock on the rifle and you can fit in absolutely any battery you'd ever want to. Bottom line is that out of the box they're very good, but with a few careful upgrades you can have a rifle shooting 0.32g BB's out for a massive distance and get other players who can't get you but at the same time be within the limit to shoot someone a meter or two away / CQB.

To err is human. To blame others shows management potential.

Ok. So. Looking for suitable offerings for the Machine Spirit of my 1st gun. It came apart, each piece looks as it should (minor) wear as expected. I (finally) test the motor separately...and it spins.... I put it all together again, not as much cussing as I thought there would be And it cycles....I can hear each part...work. Hardest part of reassembly was getting the hop unit to align and get the upper back on, well, and getting the wires into the upper/handguard Only thing to check is feeding and once I get a crono power out put. So offerings, what's suitable

Here's a couple of recent pics of me with my beloved 906C ... Changed the stock, as mentioned previously, and added various red dot and LPVO sights, a stubby foregrip, and a suppressor for Tacti-Coolness. I use Lonex flash mags because I hate winding high caps, but they sometimes unwind slightly on insertion. Still worth it though. I have a Titan 11.1v 3000mAH in the stock. I have a heavy trigger finger so that lasts me most of a day. (There's a separate discussion about that elsewhere... My gun might need a tweak or a re-lube as it shouldn't be that hard on the battery) I changed the hop rubber and nub for a Maple Leaf Macaron 50deg plus Omega nub. That's a fairly standard way to improve any AEGs accuracy, I found it didn't seem to make any difference from the out of the box accuracy tbh, but I'm delighted with the long range performance of the gun to this day 😄 Typically I run 0.28g BB's, but I've run a full bottle of 0.32s through it with good results on a windy day. So that hop system is working pretty well for me. Others may recommend changing in a ZCI unit, but I'd see how you go first. The one thing you'll need to change fairly early on is the spring. The standard one seems to lose its mojo quite quickly. Easily done thanks to the quick change system, and an M105 spring costs only £10-15 Job done!

Ahoy, and welcome. You've rather spoiled our fun, as now we can't belittle and mock your choice and say "Just get a Double Eagle M9XX!". Well, it's solid advice. They'll all perform much the same (don't make me break out the meme...) so there are few technical considerations other than battery space (but that's just a case of buying more and smaller rather than fewer and bigger) or the AK mags on the M918G. You can make anything work. Whatever gives you hardest PP when you think about slinging BB really is the right choice for you. Have you had a chance to handle both plastic and metal bodied guns? Oh, top tip, if do go with BBgnuz4less, put whatever you want in your basket, then leave it for 24 hours and you might get sent a 5% discount code.

First off, Welcome 😁🖐 (Sniped by Rostok 🤣) The Double Eagles are well regarded by many members here (I don't have one) so any of them is probably a good choice. Someone with more experience with them will likely comment further but I believe its really down to your personal choice for the look and metal vs polymer. Longer shooters are less suited to the sneaking around play style but it can still be fun. Longer barrels can be beneficial over much shorter ones but only up to a certain point so don't let that influence you too much. Ideally you want to visit a shop to handle a few different things to feel the difference between metal and poly. Keep around £100 for LiPo batteries and a decent charger. (Several threads about choosing batteries and chargers) And the eyepro, boots, camo, pouches, mags, vest, sidearm, holster, smokes, grenades, BBs ........ 😉 Found THIS thorough video testing barrel length. Still inconclusive...

Nah, don't buy a Double Eagle, they're over-hyped shit 😊 (That's just a little in-house joke there, I'm one of the resident fan-bois... they're great value guns!) I've got a 906C. It's a short carbine size all-metal gun. The numbering system is a little confusing, I think there is an explanation in one of the threads, but basically you'll need to double check against the particular specification to ensure you'll get a metal handguard, if that's what you're after, as even the higher numbers can have polymer handguards in some instances. So the other main difference between the 904/6/7/8 are in the style of the stock. The 908 gets a crane style stock that can take a nunchuck battery. That's useful, I charged mine for a PTS EPS crane stock which cost me a good few quid, so any extra cost of the 908 can be justified. I've had a few beers and it's late, I'll post again tomorrow 🤤

I’m led to believe you can apply for your UKARA After you have played 3 times in a duration no shorter than 56 days between game 1 and 3 at the same UKARA registered site

You're gonna have to work with me on this one. Our local village hall is running a session of yodelling lessons. If you are interested in attending, please form an orderly orderly orderly orderly queue.

Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit being a clever dick.

I can't believe it's been 3 hours and nobody made an Airplane reference

No, you hang up first. [giggles]

You'd be amazed what guitarists will buy if you tell them it'll improve their tone.

I can't believe musicians are using mop racks for their guitars

Getting back into airsoft after a recent move. Was looking for some cheap storage for my guns. Went from wall racks to gun lockers to stands. Now, I knew that Novritsch guns were overpriced. You're paying for the brand, sure. As you please... But this did make me laugh. He's marketing a guitar stand as a gun stand and charging almost twice the retail price! Absolute dreamer 😂 Guarantee there's a few people who bought it too!

Hey it’ll be upgraded by their “super tech” who can tell how well shimmed an AEG is by shaking it

Being such a Double Eagle fan-boi for so long, and also very much enjoying my G&G G36C, I just had to pick up this bad boy! I haven't chrono'd this yet, but the power is amazing. I can reach out to a full 14 or even 15m (if I aim at a slight, or perhaps extreme angle upwards). I really must work out how to install a hop unit into this, so I can unlock its full potential. 20m might be within my grasp! The 0.20g BBs disappear into the distance with a beautifully curved ballistic trajectory (that goes in every direction, thereby proving Schroedinger's Uncertainty Principal) before slamming into any object with a resonating 'tic' or 'ping' or even 'flump' The Rate of Fire is a little disappointing, I've only managed 1 shot every 5 or 10 seconds so far, but I'm sure that will improve with practice. Hey at least I'll conserve those expensive BB's! Talking of which, I need to source more magazines, I fear one magazine may not allow me to dominate the battlefield, whatever the RoF. I am definitely considering building a lightweight loadout to support this as it will definitely become my primary for the next skirmish. The impressive low weight (of less than a half a bag of sugar) means I'll be dancing around the site faster than those pesky kids Now... what to accessorize it with? I may have to transfer my 1.25-5x LVPO across from my HK416. A torch and laser combo for CQB is surely a must too. Perhaps a real-steel pistol grip (could be glued on somehow)? Edit: For those envious chaps who want to pick one of these up, here's a link I was soooo lucky that Action Hobbies had this lightly used one on sale for a mere 147,460.53 Vietnamese Dong

UKARA membership number. apologies, I got carried away after making a 200m head shot with an electric pistol using 0.20bb's in a 17,398mph cross wind whilst fast roping from the ISS.
