Sorry the suppressor and scope are far too wee for it to identify as a dmr.

All women are at least a minimum 4 crazy. Dan you need to introduce him to the Crazy/Hot Matrix...

Looking very good...

The mags are generally limited to 35-44 bbs (the mags contain gas, which power the gun), the mags are much heavier, so it's harder to carry a bunch of mags, so generally you have 5-6 mags at most, so your total amount of loaded bbs is 210 vs someone with a 400 round hicap or dudes rocking 5-6 250 round "midcap" magazine and the guns are louder, so it's easier to pinpoint where the gas gun user is. In addition to that, the performance varies based on the temperature, it's kinda easy for mags to vent all the gas which generally happens at the worst time and any recoil (some aegs recoil) is generally stronger, so aiming is harder. Why do people use them is probably what you're wondering.......the shooting of them is more enjoyable, feels more realistic, the recoil is nice, the constant mag changes is more realistic, the maintenance can be enjoyable and the sweet feeling of hitting a high cap hero etc while on "hard mode" is something else. I may have of got fewer "kills", but the overall experience was richer for it.

Oi...

"All guns to be crono'd on 0.2g BB's - this is non negotiable" Well, at least they're confident about being so utterly wrong.

I think your All over complicating this. All you need is a bipod, massive scope and a huge suppressor. Preferably on something really unsuitable, like a p90. An L85 will do though.

Handguard I got from octagon airsoft. Torch is a SL20, which I got off ebay. Genuine hk mount I got from Zib militaria (but have since closed down!) Torch holder was custom made by a guy called Steve leggett.

Size isn't everything... so I'm told (far too many times).

Welcome to airsoft.

Stock answer will be an MWS, and from personal experience, they are superb with lots of third party support. If you're after a MK18, I'd be tempted to buy the cheaper CQB-R and adding your own externals, purely down to the barrel nut issue. Having said that, there are a few options for barrel nut tools now. I think you're right on the SCAR front, that you're limited to WE. Can't comment on their GBBRs, but I have to say I've had a few pistols, and they've all been fine. I'm really interested by the increased range that VFC are putting out, or releasing next year, so that may be worth a look. I know they seem to have had some QC issues in the past, but from what I can gather, the current generation are much better. They also have the official HK licence...

I think you guys need to grab a matching DNC Chest Rig 😉

Not at all Dan, that one's been on my L85A3 for some time. This, however has sat on my desk waiting for my L85A2 to be repaired (only moving to have a battery installed).

So have you actually played a game using GBBR are you just going with your feelings? As you are say using a gun where you can't use full auto, will have to have changed all you mags while an AEG user will still have a 100rds in their 1 high cap, is significantly heavier than AEG, will require you to carry 2kg worth of mags and is actively throwing your aim off every time you shoot is not more difficult to use than an AEG with a high cap?

Excellent news. Just to be clear, what matters is the temperature of the magazines (and what you're filling them from), not the gun itself. I keep mine in my pocketses in cold weather.

Driver Wood is an option - 80% of it is woodland (albeit much of that has now been opened up and is nowhere near as thick as it used to be). The remainder is open 'corridors' - with buses, helicopters, man made barriers etc - and tends to be a bit of a magnet for much of the action. Most games seem to make use of the whole area, so its up to you which patch you frequent.

Hi all, thanks for your help. I heated the G45 up in the house and it worked perfectly through 3 mags. Metal slide pistols on green gas really don’t like temperatures below 5 degrees.

Pure coincidence, but received a second hand AA R604 today. Annoyingly, it turns out that none of my WE 5.1 hicapa mags work in it, only the AA mag it came with (obviously) and....the mag that came with my ASG Combat Master (which i believe is OEM'd by SRC/is a branded babayaga). It was light striking on all the WE mags (possible solution an uprated hammer spring?).

As above, GBBRs demand a different play style. Getting into position and picking shots, as well as being aware of round count . No spray and pray antics for us , even when using my GBB M249 it's bursts not hosing. Being aware of mag temperature in cold weather etc. I find my GBBRs are every bit as reliable as my aeg's , which I very rarely use anymore, but are so much more fun, mag changes , recoil , noise and tactical play ! Oh My ! They don't suit everyone, I know plenty of playerrs who have no concept of self control when it comes to slinging BBs , GBBRs wouldn't suit them 😂

Yes. AA mags are the cheapest on the market and they work great in my experience. Also, why do you think that AA's reputation is bad? AA hi capa clones perform well and are quite competitive to other metal slide clones.

For something like a DMR where you want super fast trigger response on Semi then yes, precocking does make a difference. On an MP5? Probably pointless.

I'll let you know if it's a real thing or more a feel thing. Having the shot fire immediately would feel right and be faster than one not precocked, maybe I'll measure it. Hope the motor doesn't mind.

SRC mags does work. However, SRC is the worst in terms of quality

Precocking improves semi-auto response. It leaves the spring compressed so it only needs to be pulled just the last part before releasing. Long term, this will weaken it (and perhaps stress the bushings/bearings) so you'll want to clear it at the end of the day / lunch / between games, depending how much you're bothered about a £10 part. One consideration is that if you're running a strong spring and a weak motor, you can encounter situations where the motor is too weedy to start pulling an already heavily compressed spring, and it locks up. It's not hugely likely, but I did experience it a few times before discovering the joys of half decent motors. It's nothing that you can't inflict on yourself without a pre-cock mosfet by releasing the trigger mid-cycle though.

Are you a fairly well programmed AI? 🤔 TEST: in a world where crunchy peanut butter exists, what reasons are there to buy smooth?

Didn't have an airsoft day as such, but spent a solid 8 or 9 hours helping Carlos with the new CQB site. We were building a structure all day - well one side of it anyway - and forgot to stop for lunch. Good discussions and stories exchanged as well as talking about what types of games to play in the new place as well as a different kind of "warm up" game for the regular site. Poor chap has a lot of work ahead of him to be ready for the opening next year, so I hope the regulars of Special Ops appreciate the effort and money he's putting into it when it opens. He has a model of the final layout showing a good mix of buildings and open areas, so, even though I'm not a great CQB person, I think this will have something for everyone except Bush Wookies and DMRs. Looking forward to some pistol and shotgun games. Plus it's slightly nearer my gaff too.

She’s maybe a secret lurker 😉😂

I've been married to her for 20 years....Trust me I know. 😅 I'm not entirely sure if she's talking to me at the moment either.

Nothing wrong with those for Airsoft. I've worn PPE for work of many types for years, goggles glasses etc. Those type you have there will stop point blank sniper fire.

EN166 1B should resist 6.14J impact (based on the testing regime of a 6mm diameter 0.86g metal BB at 120m/s).

So, what you are looking for is a site (not a sight) which is open enough to be a sniper's paradise. It seems that you want to stack the odds in your favour. You might enjoy Splatoon, which is near Wickford in Essex, although it might be too far for you. A large part of the playing area (not the "map") is a treeless area with container buildings, old cars, a couple of helicopters and other structures.

Unfortunately non woodland sites tend to be cqb and so have strict fps limits. While you could run a bolt action rifle, you'd be limited to the same power levels as everyone else. They do.

Exactly, most airsoft blow back guns won’t perform so well when cold, especially if they have metal slides. I often use one of the rechargeable hand warmers to gently heat the mags when I shoot at the club, works well.

They all are..... have you met your mother?

Hire guns will use high capacity magazines, which I believe does mean you need to pour the BBs in as you have been. What I tend to do is hold the magazine and use my finger and thumb to make a sort of funnel to make sure the BBs go in rather than spilling everywhere. When you get your own guns, you can get mid caps instead which don't have that same door that high caps have. Those need to be filled directly into the hole they feed into the RIF from as it's basically just a snaking canal through the magazine with a spring and follower, but I think if you do this with a high cap you might break it? I'm sure someone can confirm that, I just don't use them at all so I don't know.

My first experience with an airsoft gun was when my mate bought a HFC M9 in-store from justBBguns. This was in December that year and when we go home we eagerly ventured out to my garden, where we fired a mag or two on green gas. When we attempted to get through another, we noticed it was no-longer locking back. "This piece of >insert your own expletive here< has broken! We need to take it back!" he furiously proclaimed. I wasn't overly keen on this idea, as it's a three hour round trip....but he had paid around £150, so back we went. When we got there, they demonstrated that the gun cycled perfectly, even locking back on empty. Long-story short, the gun was fine but no-one had explained the negative effects of cold weather on a gas gun. I have owned a VFC Glock 19X and it worked really well overall. However, when it was cold it would do the same thing, only shooting every couple of cycles. My point is that as adults, we should take a moment to analyse the situation, rather than just jumping up and down screaming "Not fit for purpose, consumer rights act!"

As already mentioned. When you talk to anybody about the SAS MP5 of the iranian embassy seige. Those that know always mention the top mountes torch. So is always associated with it. Plus in the sea of mp5s out there, its the most unique and interesting, and far less done. Because most people just like to copy either the sure fire torch version or the navy seal sd with m4 ris mounted on it....

Sounds like it's cold to me. What sort of ambient temp are you shooting it in and which gas are you using?

Everything about them is wrong ! want a 9MM pdw, buy a fecking MP5 !

You mean like the MP9, right? I'm with you on this. I can see 80% of these things being HPA converted and fitted with a drum mag.

Oldie I’m not sure if I’ve posted already:

Yeah, good point. I think I've spent too long on the Internet and I'm becoming too precious 😂 It's an interesting point about niche weapons. I think I mentioned it further up the thread, but TM have models from anime and video games in their range as they know their audience will buy them. I'm not sure a KS-1 would. I'm off to have a word with myself and stroke my MWS until I find my happy place 🤣

Should have made a 416, much profit. Still hoping they’re going to release a GBB MP5…

Mandatory not another M4 post. That out of the way, always nice to have more options in the mws line.

I don't know why but I just don't get along with AEGs traditionally lol. I've always felt more comfortable with mechanical systems over electrical and kind of came into airsoft with more knowledge on real gun function than batteries and gearboxes and stuff. My backup (besides a GBB pistol, which I've also used alone from time to time either 'cause I felt like it or my primary failed) is a springer trishot shotgun, which before I had an MWS was literally my primary. I guess I just like making my own life difficult 🤣 people were always surprised I could be effective and on par with the regular AEG users when running that thing. I'm also poor AF so that trishot, a worse trishot, the MWS, and a TM P226 are all I own. Probably could have got multiple cheaper guns instead of an MWS, but god damnit I wanted an MWS. 😅
