I found that by flipping the spring over (i.e. what was at the top is now at the bottom) fixes that issue. I ended up printing 10 of them and I also found that my Quake impact deadly customs holder is a good fit.

I have a problem with aliens....Ever been to a meeting at work where, at the end, someone asks if there's any questions? I turn into Hudson at this point and have to stop myself raising my hand and asking "yeah, how do i get out of this chicken shit outfit?" Awesome Pews, by the way. 😍

The stupid amount of kit I'm taking tomorrow... Added the L85 carbine as it's the only one that has passed the site crono... plan B. p.s. there's a two tone glock in the bag too.

I had not intended to play airsoft today; I had been planning to visit either Airsoft Plantation or Dragons Lair on Sunday, but the weather forecast intervened, threatening very heavy rain in the southern part of Essex. Therefore, on Friday afternoon, I decided that I would spend today at Tactical Warfare Airsoft, near Croydon, a site that I last visited with the lad on December 23rd, when we were both impressed with how it had improved. It has an interestingly varied woodland part with a number of structures, including some in the base of an old pit, and a CQB village. In the morning, about 42 players were present, a mixture of experienced players, black clad speedybois, who are drawn in by the CQB village, and a large numbers of rentals. I took three rifles with me; two of which I intended to use. One was my MPiKM, to which I had fitted a new CYMA gear box as the previous combination of the CYMA body, Begadi hop and LCT gearbox was not a success. My guess at where the hop should be set turned out to be spot on and it shot like a dream. I highly recommend the Begadi AK hops to anyone. Another was my "built from bits" M4, fitted with one of @ak2m4's brushless motors and a Perun Hybrid; this was just along for testing and also shot perfectly. After the morning rituals, we set off for our first game, which was in the CQB village. The first thing that struck me was the mud; it was epic! Then came the realisation that the village had been significantly developed since my last visit, now being far more complex and a lot tighter. The game was a simple domination, using a card reader in the centre of the village; both sides had 10 cards, each of which could only be read once on each visit to the reader. Players had infinite regens on their start points. I found a superb position behind a fence and a bush, which gave me a great view over two of the main routes through the village; I got a huge number of hits, completely cutting off those routes, without getting hit once. We won the game by an impressive margin as the other team seemed hesitant to push up. Following this, we wandered off to do an attack/defence game in the Pit. Defenders had two lives and attackers had infinite regens. This was a timed game with the end being when the attackers had five players in the building at the base of the Pit. I started off with a group attacking the plateau on the far side of the Pit and was shot almost immediately by a sniper lurking on the back of the plateau. Returning from regen, i found that our group had taken the plateau and were pushing into the pit, while the other part of the team descended into it from the front. It took a while to winkle the defenders out of their positions and eventually take control of the building. This game was then turned around; I usually defend the plateau but, on this occasion, decided to set up on top of the ridge to the side of the Pit, taking advantage of the MPiKM's range and accuracy. This proved profitable until I attracted the attention of a sniper, who potted me. I moved to another position slightly further round and had fun taking out attackers until the same sniper got me again. We won by a reasonable time margin. Then, it was back to the village for the barrel game, which is a staple of TWA. The attackers, with infinite regens, had to locate three numbered barrels in the village and get them back to their start point; again, this was a timed game. We were defending and I had a set of nice duels with enemy before being hit and falling back to a new position, where I was shot by my own side :(. Being my second hit, i was reduced to being a spectator. This was then turned around; we recovered all three barrels in a slightly longer time than the other team. All of these games were played without returning to the safe zone, which is a nice feature of TWA. At lunch time, the morning-only players left, leaving both sides significantly reduced; after lunch the teams were rebalanced and we restarted with an interesting game. Each team had a base in the woods with a smoke grenade wired up to a remotely controlled detonator; two remote controls, one for each team, were hidden in the woods. The teams had to find their remote, take it back to their base and, hopefully, set off the grenade in the opponent's base; the catch was that each remote had two unmarked buttons, one would set off the grenade in the opponent's base, while the other would set off the one in your own base. This was a hard fought game with some great firefights, which ended with our opponents setting off the grenade in our base :(. After this game, a number of players left, leaving us somewhat outnumbered; however, only slightly daunted, we set off to get two flags to the far end of the village from our regen at the Police Station; we had infinite regens and the defenders had one life each. This proved to be a bit of a struggle, but we eventually cleared them out. In the reverse of the game, I started on the right of the village, intercepting a lot of attackers and forcing them to go back to their regen, before being potted. After rebalancing the teams again, we ended up with a game around Badger Base; each team, with infinite regens, had to ensure that they had a player or players in the dugout at the end of the game, In the first iteration, we played from my favourite end and I had great fun taking out enemy players; however, they held the dugout at the end. This was then turned around, with one of our players diving into the dugout just before the whistle went. As in the morning, all the afternoon games were played without returning to the safe zone. Overall, it was a rather good, well organised day of airsoft. There were a few niggles about hit taking involving a handful of players, which got a bit salty at one point, but this was handled well by the marshals.

It is bizarre how the entire subject is dodged ducked dipped and dived by all the mods and admin. Especially when they comment on other subjects. Glad I haven't bought one.

One of the most cathartic experiences was seeing my son hiding in a tent, and me getting him Centre mass on full auto from about 30 metres. He didn't know it was me and all I could hear was "aaawwwweee fuck". Felt my blood pressure drop at least ten points.

I've been known to ask slow moving underlings if they would like me to grab their slippers.

Real Trijicon MRO that I’ve popped on the MP5 NGRS 👌🏻 Chose a lower 1/3 mount firstly for full face pro in CQB and so can use the irons clearly through it. Red Dot Engineering protector also.

Unless you've got a higher-end set of calipers coming then you might not get an accurate reading. I went through a few from £5 to £25 in the end had to spend £150 on a decent set. I highly doubt any brand would want to go bigger than 5.95mm. My guess is they aim lower for better fitment. Most BB's I measured this past couple of months were 0.01mm lower than stated. Some brands do state +/- 0.01mm. Heard tolerance is a bitch with injection molding. In regards to your high FPS did you change anything else?

Tell me you don't understand basic physics without saying you don't understand basic physics, 1.14 joules is 1.14 joules, no matter if the bb is propelled by a motor driven piston, gas or farting down a straw. If you don't like hpa then just say so instead of making shit up

the hwat? it's not magical air, it's all air. I'd take 'not trusting HPA users' as a more serious answer. Site owners/staff not understanding basic air musket function is a bit of a red flag if I'm honest. Though, at the end of the day it's shouldn't be much of an issue for a HPA user, it's just a weird choice.

Honestly I'm shocked this situation has happened/is happening they way it is, just fucking awful there's no other way to put it. I presume there's some sort of explanation, that's my hope anyway really trying to be generous; but simply not giving out any info (would take 5 minutes to write a post) is absolutely diabolical.

I want one, I'd happily wear it, but threads like this have put me off ordering. It's a weird situation & probably the only aspect of the forum that anybody can be critical of.

Bloody tease!

Some of cheap one are utter shite, but it's a very much suck and see. If you can stretch the budget ever so slightly, the jg bar 10 is a vsr clone that a lot of folk have gone for as it cheap, and really easy to upgrade of you want to take it more places than a short range.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/29189-raven-glock-eu18 is it me or am I missing something apart from a mag of course?

yes you can change the valve in the nozzle, did it with mine and its fine now at around 320fps https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/lees-precision-engineering-cnc-machined-power-down-valve-set-for-ksc-kwa-s7-ns2-smg-7-and-mp9

My God man, dont get them started on the UKAF/UKAPU debate!!!!!

The other day I used some bio bbs for the first time and they almost made my AEG too hot for the site; chrono was 348 on Vorsk 0.2 bio new and sealed in bottle. I was gob smacked as my M4 junker has never been hirer than 305, so with a jump in fps over 40 and easily another 15ft added in range I am very curious why? I should add that I shared the ammo and their guns fps shot up to. Even though it says 5.95 on the bag, I have a feeling they’re bigger maybe 5.97 or even 5.98. Vernier callipers are on route to me to check what’s left of the bottle but until then, does anyone have any other ideas why the massive increase in performance and does anyone know a brand that sells bbs bigger than 5.96 on purpose ?

As a new member on here, this isn’t a good look. Would be unacceptable anywhere else.

Yep, absolutely no point in handing over your hard earned cash.

He lost the best piece of the bundle!!

Yeah, Demo Ranch’s younger brother has an Airsoft channel, tbf , I’ve never really remembered who he is 😂 VIDEO-2023-11-19-21-38-40.mov

On the topic of airsoft leagues, just come across this thing in the US called Competitive Speedsoft League which looks rather well organized It is livestreaming a game with announcers and everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu3IiWJw7JQ Just thought it's relevant

Cheers mate. Yeah, I’ve a ‘thing’ for real glass on top of my toy pews (as we can’t have the real pews, this helps, slightly 😂). https://xtremetactical.co.uk to the rescue. It is very nice.

Now that’s pretty!! There is a used one kicking about other groups for sale I saw it and pray for a lotto windfall Very sweet, I run a clone and folk keep asking what it is 😂

Just wanted to provide an update... I spoke with the retailer, and they requested the Just-Cos Cosplayer Insurance certificate along with a photo of me participating in an airsoft event. After reviewing these, they were satisfied, proceeded with processing my order, and confirmed that it will be delivered on Monday. For the casual players who may not have the opportunity to attend events regularly. It presents an alternative path to legally acquire a RIF from a UK-based retailer.

Could it be the surface finish is different so your hop setting needed to be different?

My Aldi digi callipers have served me for years. However, if I REALLY needed to measure something, I'd use a micrometer and make sure that I'd tested it with a gauge block recently. I have known really crap cheapo rubbish BBs to exceed size tolerance, but I doubt you'd want to use them, Bulldog and similar.

There’s got to be something said about (legally) shooting someone (while playing Airsoft) as being good for your wellbeing. Lost count of the times I wished I had my pistol in my desk!! 😂 Wish I had enough space somewhere for a range, would be great to have somewhere local to go and plink for a bit. Maybe we need to tack them on to the side of driving ranges?

I was not aware this was a topic of debate at all. My apologies. 🤣

I never asked a question, just made a generalised statement which fits this situation, to say you've been too busy to take 5 minutes to pop back here & answer pertinent questions sounds like bollocks to me.

What do you call a bee 🐝 that can't make up it's mind..... ......a maybe.

Imo if you're unsure if a gun is a rif or an if ask yourself 1 question. Would Joe public shit themselves if you walked into the post office openly carrying it? We can debate the legal technicalities till the cows come home, but at the end of the day most people know ⅘ of bugger all about firearms so would just think "gun" rather than "ooh nice glock/sig/whatever"

bEcaUSe HPA iS tHe dEViL reeEEeEeEEeeEEEeEEEeeeEe I was also going to write more about what I've seen here, but... there's no point as I don't think I'd get any logical answers, so I'll just sit here with my popcorn instead 😂

Ok, I'll bite. Why are hpa guns given a lower power limit than others?

Replacement plate from Boomarms I only just noticed today that they are also stocking steel slides, which as nice as it would be, is way out of my league

Building a load of these impact grenades. It cost's about £1 to make and they work flawlessly. big shout out to the original designer (FULCRUMAIRSOFT) and the files can be bought here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/airsoft-micro-grenade-impact-cap-gun-ring-sound-grenade-meteorite-meteor-lite-e-fulcrumairsoft

TM MK18 MWS arrived this week, it’s been on the want list for ages and I ran out of restraint when Fire Support were down to one left 😂 Also got a Magpul CTR stock for it as I prefer it. Extra mags ordered from Japan as they seem to be hen’s teeth right now. Next up … accessories!!

And watch as airsoft gets banned and the "lefties" win. This is the great dilemma that airsoft faces; basing advertising on the elements that make it great fun is likely to bring those elements into the wider public consciousness, which will almost certainly increase the probability of it being banned. I am centre-left politically; if the political spectrum was my feet, I would be roughly where my left hallux is or, on some topics, where my left second toe is. However, in the world of airsoft, I am clearly far to the left of most players that I meet. However, I do know a few "leftie" players, so we are not all the enemy that you imagine us to be or have been persuaded to believe we are.

Boomarms MOS plate and SRO clone freshly installed to the TM G17 Gen5

My Boomarms order just arrived, first time buying from them and no hassles. It was a race between them and Ali Express to see who’s delivery arrived first and Ali Won!! Just fitted my Boomarms MOS plate for my TM G17 Gen5 and very nicely made it is too 👌 Ali Express was sending a clone Trij SRO to get fitted to the pistol too (it arrived yesterday)

That's better. 👍😁

Type 89 nozzle is done and with a few internal tweaks and some finer print settings its now giving me the same fps and consistency as the tm original piece. Going to be running it this weekend and just dumping mags through it every now and again to see how long it lasts.

because F**k HPA
