Nah, that was an AAP-01 I basically said £700 for a pistol? The reply was along the lines of "you're obviously not a speedsofter or you'd know" I was typing my witty reply & the thread disappeared.

"Take cover behind the tank" "Ackshullay, it's not a tank, it's a self propelled artillery - a tank has" *gets shot*

I've only ever bought from DCA once as it was a small part I couldn't find anywhere else and it all went smoothly. However I agree some of his prices are an absolute joke. What really puts me off buying from him though is the way he acts like a spoiled child on social media

A Russian wife turned to her husband and asked, "What's this special military operation our glorious leader keeps talking about?" Her husband replied, "It's a war to stop America and NATO." "Oh, right” she says “How's it going?" “Well” he replied “so far we have lost over 20 generals, over 315,000 troops killed or wounded, 3000 tanks, 300 aircraft, hundreds of helicopters, countless armoured vehicles, artillery and trucks, our flagship along with other naval ships, our army is being defeated in most areas and we have had to resort to conscripting 500,000 Russians including murders and rapists to replace our losses”. “Wow” replied the wife “what about America and NATO”? “They haven’t turned up yet”

It's still live, but the piss taking speedwanker (or "Seller" as commonly known) has closed the advert to further questions and removed any that have been asked so far. On another note, I wouldn't care if it lobbed 1000bbs a second, was made of solid platinum and came with a cheque for £500, no hi capa, especially not one that looks like it's been polished up with a headless smurf carcase is worth that!

No hi-capa is worth £700, no matter how much the seller has been silly enough to throw at it, especially as the original straight out of the box TM variants are superb on almost every level, anything added is usually just prettying them up, bit like a girl with her favourite dolly ?

Let’s start a thread that will make purists cry. this one is mine.

Bloody hell. All I did was leave a laughing emoji reaction and post it here, I dread to think what would've happened if I actually commented Don't tease me with such lovely things

I had a lovely date last night. Tomorrow I'm going to have a fig.

It must be the season for piss taking prices for hi cappas. No mention of any internal "upgrades" so I guess the only changes are the fugly decorative bits

Maybe that's the whole point? "Yes love, of course I'll sell them", says he to his wife. Then he gets to keep them because "they're not selling love!" lol

Definitely WE. Their glocks are rather good nowadays and they’re TM spec so there’re tons of aftermarket parts. Stay well clear of anything Raven or Vorsk. It will break sooner than later. If you want the best glock that will hold up for ages and shoots great, have a look at TM. Although they have a plastic slide.

Krydex G3 in Tigerstripe.

Lambda Defence GHM9 The stock weighs as much as the pew and mag!

A teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question: 'Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom? 'Michael said: 'Just a minute I have to go pee.' The teacher responded by saying: 'That would be rude and impolite. What about you Sherman, how would you say it?' Sherman said: 'I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.' 'That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?' Johnny said 'I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.' The teacher fainted

Previously a 2 tone M14, painted it a wood effect that just turned out red (like the L1A1), now it's a 2 tone ish M14 again. Will look more BlackHawk downish once I get a better scope mount.

Might have treated myself to a razor

No pics but a new G&G mid cap mag. Its very snug and takes a little effort to get it in but theres no wobble and it feeds fine. A 20mm quick release riser for the Warthog as the red dot is a little low. The acog is fine but i dont know which I'm going to use yet.

I may have accidently made a russian kit ? I just like atacs fg in ghost recon, didn't look it up too much until I was gonna buy some and realised it's mostly used by russians. Also recently got a VSS. Ah well, it looks cool as hell. It's all invader gear stuff, pretty comfy, should perform well through the year.

There’s never been a Hi Capa built, that’s worth what those are worth ??

Maybe speedsoft has peaked & they're selling on asap while the market is high (as a kite)

We need an "ow, my eyes hurt" emoji! ?

Lol, talk about triggered, he's closed it down and started another thread & the price has gone up £100 ffs?. And another one has come on for even more, £850 this time, the world's gone mad?

I should add, all this is discounting the strong tendency of airsoft battery manufacturers to lie about the capacity and discharge ratings they advertise. You could very well be using a battery that has only 60% of it's advertised capacity and 50% of the discharge, thus skewing the apparent performance of your RIF far away from accurate. My personal pack I spoke of in the above post (Kypom 3S butterfly 2200mah) has actually been tested at 2106mah, so the capacity is pretty close to advertised by airsoft standard. And this is by far one of the best packs in this range, which may contribute to a higher apparent "shots per man" rating.

I don’t know, it just made me chuckle that the email was like “Do you want some TM bits? A new MP5K? Do you want to buy the business?”

Well, Worthing went through with the new limitations to ghillies. Nothing below a viper hood (shoulders) with 1.14j full auto. DMR and bolt actions only for anything longer or a full ghillie. However they have upped their DMR limits to 1.88j so we're in line with most other sites now, which is nice. At least I now have an excuse to finish my viper hood and buy some better combats.

I was going to add a £700 Highcapa to this thread but after a couple of sarky comments from me the seller has blocked me. Is it worth £700? , please educate me if it is...

I'm going to be the annoying one and say unless your heart is set on the kick from a metal slide going back and forth the AAP-01 is a way better and cheaper choice (and uses Gen 4 mags). You benefit from better gas efficiency, a way better hop unit, and better accuracy. To get my son's WE EU17 G4 to match a stock AAP-01, for hop and accuracy, needed a Maple Leaf hop unit + bucking + better inner barrel.

Noted for the wash temp. Quality is great. The kneepads are better built (sturdiness) than my Arktis trousers'.

In that price bracket/between the two you are considering, go with the WE. Many WE products get mixed reviews, but the one thing that most people can agree on is that their Glocks are pretty good. I have a Gen 5 Glock 19 from them, and a Gen 3 Glock 17 - both have been great. Prices can vary significantly on these, so do shop around. Also, the WE Glock mags are generally pretty well regarded, and can be had from overseas sellers (e.g. Hong Kong based) a little cheaper than from the UK if you are prepared to wait a few weeks for them to turn up. I've never had a Raven pistol, but from what I read, they are a bit of a budget gun, and the quality/QC is variable.

He really is a vile excuse for a human being.

The other thing to be mindful of is of course the condition of your battery. An old, or poorly made battery that has been left to drain below it's lowest recommended voltage previously will not be holding the capacity it says on the sticker..... I have bought a few aliexpress batteries as I'm a sucker for such things, and had very mixed results. But if the battery gives you good performance in other guns, or swapping in a similar capacity battery into the mp5 gives the same results, then might be the gun. I tend to swap my 1300mah batteries out after each 1hr game in most of my guns that use them, whether they run down or not - that's probably anything from 300 to 700 shots for me.

Not on here but I do wonder why anyone would spend the extra money with DCA when you can get them from Bruno for nearly half the price (and Bruno is the one that makes them)

Not big purchases but a Guerilla Tactical COMP M2 Style Red Dot Sight w/ Cantilever Mount from Patrol base & an M14 rail mount from HPA-UK.

The FPS itself will change by a margin of maybe 1-1.5% depending on humidity, altitude, and temperature, but by and large the consistency I can achieve is the same. That build was built and chronoed at ~800 feet above sea level, 75 degrees F, 50% humidity. I recently put together a new DMR build shooting 300 FPS on .48g w/ ~1 FPS variance, and tested at ~8,000 above, 20 deg. F, and 75% humidity. I do a rigorous set of stabilization mods designed to create an extremely consistent hop rubber to nozzle seal, and I think that really makes the difference. Basically, I make sure the barrel and hop unit can't move whatsoever, and that the hop unit is pressed solidly to the gearbox. Hop unit springs are the enemy, cork and plastic shims are the best. I'll see if I can try some "varied environment" testing with the same build and report back. I'll make it into a separate thread though!

Bring your own. Talking to the owner they've looked into having a local burger van or similar but from what they said nobody is really interested as they'd need a minimum of 30 to make it worthwhile. Not really an issue for me as in my experience the food provided at many sites is a bit crap

Your system draws a lot of current then. I run 7,4v 1450mAh 30c batteries in my M4s and my average BB consumption per game day is about 2000 (say 5/6 fully depleted Lonex Flash Mags). The battery tester I use says that with the above conditions I get my battery from 99/98% charge down to 30ish, now I don't know that the percentage refers to, but all things considered I think my builds are at okay efficiency.. All this in full auto for the most part. Also keep in mind that semi auto fire draws way more than full auto, the current required to get the motor going is much higher than the current needed to keep the motor going once it's already spinning. It's not hard to imagine that thirsty motor + semi spam will deplete an average sized battery in a short time, but 500 shots is definitely a sign that something needs addressed in your gun. p.s. I'm confident I have butchered every electrical term and principle with this comment, sorry, I build houses and survey the land, not an electrician/electrical engineer

To be fair, 450mAh is tiny - which gun was this in? I can happily (well, reasonably happily - it's a squeeze) get a 2200 7.4v nunchuck battery in the front handguard of my Cyma MP5 - which looking at your list might have the tightest battery space of your current guns..?

I'm not deaf, so i can't say how it affects someone. Here we are( sorry) ranking the problems we perceive that a deaf a person would have in our game and how it affects us and them. Only the deaf person can say really. One of the main issues I have seen is social isolation, get him out playing a game, if he cant hear his hits (that tickled me) shoot him again for example. Speech to text is widely available so he can read the chat going on around him at lunch or whatever. I'm sure he can figure stuff out, its clunky compared to just speaking but perfectly serviceable. Nothing wrong being out of a comfort zone... unless you don't want to be.

Have a look on Reapers Air soft, he has a table he has done for various motors and their mAh per shot. Go to 43 mins to see that table, but long story short around 1mAh a shot is the highest. Depending on the motor you may get from 900 to 5800 bbs for each 1000MAh. There are lots of variables tho, and data measurement can vary with method so it's going to be ballpark. You will get more shots from a good ( low IR) battery of the same capacity and a good battery running at a fraction of it's current giving ability will give you more shots than a smaller one running closer to it's limit.

To echo the above, I have one particular replica - bought on this forum second hand that shoots great (at AEG limits), is really snappy, and doesn't sound like the gearbox is badly shimmed. But I always need to take a spare battery into a game with me when i use it - for some reason it gets through a battery (to the point where the gearbox locks up) in under an hours skirmish - whereas other 350fps rifs I use will happily run off the exact same battery for 2-3 hours. But ultimately, if we can afford a spare Lipo to bring with us (and lets face it, these days they are pretty cheap - especially with Hobbyking having reopened in the UK), it's possibly a bit of an academic discussion!

Spends the mag in under 2 seconds, but it makes everyone nearby jump out of their skin ?

Now that I got a front strap from Japan and a metal suppressor from a chap on here, the mac11 is complete! Such a nasty little sniper secondary.

Been a couple of new additions since I last posted my collection & they've been moved about a few times too, took some pics recently. Not intended as a 'flex' but I am proud of my collection, many bought from our classifieds...

Very Happy I bought the K1 Max. Waiting on trigger, hop unit and mag springs. hopping to have it up and running for some CQB in 2 weeks time. Also going to try and Get a M6C based on a aap-01 printed as well.

Funny that, cus I’ve seen so many little snots like you come then go in airsoft.

Ok; here is my KWA B&T MP9 GBB SMG. I took these on the day I got it. Its great for CQB, with a terrific RoF. FPS is 330 with 0.2g BBs at 12 degrees C with Abbey Ultra gas. With Guarder Black gas at room temperature it was pushing out 385!!!! Downside is that the mags cost £40 each Anyway here are the pics: As I said before, these are old pics. The Eotech (Clone) is from my M4 but I have put a small Aimpoint T1 Red-dot on it and it is much better (the T1 has a far lower profile). For indoor games I also mount my Surefire Scout Light. The sling is a WAS SF Single Point sling, but I can use the MP9 as a sidearm; and for this I use a Blackhawk Weapons Catch that velcros around the Sight, onto my belt. Hope you like. Neil
