I have wanted one of these for probably 15+ years ? Seen a chap over on one of the older fourms build a steel wa version.. This is mine and still not finished .. need to get some slim grip bushings 🤣

So randomly, I've been editing my own photos as I've not been skirmishing much recently but I have been getting alot of new kit but photos of yourself in the bedroom or kitchen aren't very tacticool 😂 Below are some of the edits I've done which were originally me standing in my office or a few at a game I'd like to offer this to you guys, now I'm absolutely no photoshop guru but some of these images have gotten me a few PM's asking "where is this site with an airplane I want to go there" they are not meant to decive but just to make you look a bit cooler Please feel free to put a photo of you in your kit below and a brief description of the background you want to I'll see what I can do, and if you're happy with the photo buy me a coffee 😘 https://buymeacoffee.com/k42j

So been working on this bad boy. Still not finished. But its getting there... So it's an ares A3 Managed to fit the angry gun mlok rail to it. Added the C Reinforcement sections. Hka3 added to rear. LLM03 3d printed Not seen in pic is the QR codes added to both sa80 and os4. Still to do; Laser engraved the os4 Make a pressure pad and 3d print the coupling. Weather it all.

Good day yesterday, marshalled most of the day, but played one game in the morning, then I had planned on playing one game after lunch, at an easy pace, as I'm old and it's been a hard week. So I walk out onto the field and the head marshall makes me one of the three Personalities in the Personality game. If you don't know it: the Personality player starts rogue, when shot they go into a medic state, joining the side that medics them back into play, and they will then ask to be escorted to a POI. Getting the Personality to their objective scores a point for that team, and the Personality then goes rogue again. The three Personality players are aggressive to each other at all times. So yeah, that was my easy paced game after lunch, sprinting from POI to POI, getting shot by EVERYONE. Bloody fun day though. Weather was great, good playing all round. I am broken today.

Let's fucking go

Finally my sten mk2 has arrived 😎 also I decided that my APS AOW needed a stock …. Sorry little buddy 🤣, it’s surprisingly ergonomic now imho

Played again at TAC House Spartan "The Stan" this sunday, we linked up with F Team Airsoft who drove up from portsmouth to Sheffield to give the site a try. All in all a good day, we clocked in the fastest pushback time ever since the site re-opened at just over 9 minutes. we defended it for 23! Decent selection of games as usual and they have just opened up an new staircase and we were the first ones to play across 3 floors, which is not great on the legs! Hit taking was good (it usually is here) and everyone seemed to play in the spirit of the game which always make the day better. if you haven't been back to the Stan since it re-opened it is well worth a visit.

You are overthinking it. The power rating is what it will produce in a typical (probably V2), well set up basic gearbox. Other variables are far more significant than the length of the spring, such as the barrel length and diameter, the cylinder type, the presence or absence of piston head or spring guide bearings, and the quality of the airseals. Once you have a starting point of a known output from a manufacturer's particular spring, it is easy to adjust upwards or downwards.

Stop worrying about the length of the spring and focus on the power rating; that is what matters.

Oh my days 😁 you and your length obsession lol Is the spring you fitted one you purchased from me? If so you just grab the power just down from it. I'm away at the moment but can sort something out soon for you.

Airseal is horrific. Its almost non-existent so will debug this further. Thanks for the tip. My idea thus far is maybe the piston is causing the issues. Update (17:00) Join between piston and the barrel itself is the cause.

I appreciate the link. I did see that in my searches, but the 12 month turn around is off-putting to me... besides, I am trying to put something together for a stargate cosplay at basingstoke comic con next month... seeing as most of the SG1 and Atlantis cast will be there I was shocked to find the pistol so cheap compared to every other UK seller... but unless it's clearly stated, I always assume the price advertised is the full price and not deposit.. I hope you manage to get one, and enjoy it =)

Sorry to hear that. Exceptions exist, but as a general rule of thumb, anyone wanting to be paid other than by PayPal Goods and Services is planning to screw you. All airsoft MP5K guns that I'm aware of use a V3 gearbox, with that looooong trigger pull. Easy enough to check, using the pictures on the page above, or a guide like this one. With the caveat that nothing in airsoft is standard, a G&G or Guarder shell might suit. The other alternative is to look for a boneyard MP5K, AK or G36 that's cosmetically wrecked, but it's always tricky to find a real bargain, honestly described.

I asked the man in the shop "Have you got any Bulldog clips?" He replied "No, but I've got a nice video of a Jack Russell"

We were at Dogtag today as well. Enjoyed the new area, I didn’t know that arena with the ‘castle’ existed so it was a surprise. I did hear the issues with hit taking, the marshal had to remind everyone after the first round which was the first time I’ve heard them do that. A shame that was happening but I still had a blast with a few good gun battles.

@DanBowWhat a bloody kerfuffle you have whipped up mate. My cat would have had it done by now. Lost a spring,found a spring,bearing to high,no it's not,yes it is,spring to long.....😂😂😂

Lol, just watched it, stand by my earlier post, what a load of absolute bollocks🤣

And they are selling. Tokyo Marui does not give a shit about any market out side of Japan.

Whats a "human oran" and why can't you shoot it?

A logistical dilemma caused by the convergence of the last rehearsal before our 25th Birthday gig and the London Marathon means that I am spending tonight in a Premier Inn in Woking. However, every cloud has a silver lining, so this seemed like a good opportunity to spend the afternoon at Driver Wood, a site about which I have heard and read a lot but have never visited. So, this morning, in addition to my video mixer, projector, video loops etc, I loaded my airsoft gear into the car, including the lad's C7, which I had done some work on last Saturday evening as it seemed to have lost power. Arriving at Driver Wood was a bit of a culture shock; there were paintballers, kids' parties, airsoft beginners' sessions and about 60 airsofters. This actually seemed like a proper business! Checking in was straightforward; I got my wristband and I was in. I found a table, chatted to the players on the next table, one of whom admired the C7, and chrono'd the C7 (1.04J and great range). The safezone was well organised, clean and had WiFi! The only negative aspect was a number of signs stating that no food or drink could be brought in. I then sorted my own stuff out, remembering to ensure that barrel socks were in use in the safezone, chrono'd my rifle and pistol, and set off for balancing of teams, distribution of us afternoon arrivals to teams and a mercifully short but complete safety and rules brief. Immediately after this, we set out for the game zone, passing various areas full of kids having great fun shooting paint and BBs at each other. The first game of the afternoon involved collecting a downed pilot, getting them on to a stretcher and transporting them to one of the helicopters. Each side had a stretcher and, if the two players carrying it were killed, they had to drop it; the opposing team could then try to prevent them recovering it but could not steal it. However, if the pilot was on it, they could transfer him to their stretcher if it could be brought alongside. I teamed up with a few players who decided to try to work around into the enemy's left flank and rear; this went rather well until we encountered an enemy force who had decided to try to work around into our right flank and rear. This resulted in some great fights; I found a spot in a ditch under a bush from where I could control the convergence of two paths that the enemy were using; it was what WW2 U-Boat crews called a Happy Time; a target rich environment and a hidden Colin with a very accurate rifle. Ultimately, as for the U-Boat crews, the Happy Time ended and I was sunk. Regenning, I encountered the two chaps from the table next to mine and we fought our own little war against a group of enemy who were continuing to try to push into our team's tactical rear, holding them off until the end of the game, which our side won, getting the stretcher and pilot into the helicopter after a stand off. Hurrah! After a short break, we started the second game of the afternoon; a three point domination. The targets were the green tent, the six wheeler and one of the helicopters; whoever controlled each of them at every 10 minute interval got a point . I have no idea what happened at the six wheeler or the helicopter, as I was solely involved around the green tent, which the enemy grabbed at the start of the game. This was a really good action, with people flanking all over the place, hiding in bushes, and generally popping up where they were least expected. Despite us pushing hard, the enemy held the green tent for most of the game, with us only capturing it for the very last point. My first impressions of Driver Wood are positive, despite the signs about not bringing your own food and drink. The playing area reminded me somewhat of Battle Lakes, albeit without that site's bottlenecks and choke points. I will definitely be going back. After the game, I stopped off at Surplus Store UK in Crawley, with the possible intention of buying a JG T3 SAS. However, the size, or rather the lack of size, of its battery compartment, put me off. Armband watch: Bright green (I thought they were yellow!) and purple. Weapons used: SRC T-91 ASG Commander XP18 (CO2)

Welcome aboard. We have a board specifically for that: https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/ You will need to provide full details of the upgrades.

Definitely going to need it's own thread with lots of pics! 😁

A particularly gopping 2-tone at that.

Upgrade RIFs? Me? Not bloody likely! I'll only buy stuff that shoots right straight out of the box! Todays upgrade has arrived. Perun ETU++. Time to start learning about programmable mosfets!

Now hold up a second... verified Maidens?

Filed it with my bank just, shall see what they say tomorrow

That path does seem somewhat exposed to public view, which seems rather lax. £29 is pretty high for what sounds like a pretty average site. As to the plant, that sounds like wild garlic, which is incredibly pungent.

Only played half the day today at Worthing, but not the morning this time. I had so much I needed to do in the morning that I only got out in the last 40 mins before lunch, then played through the afternoon. I brought a small armoury with me today as I wanted to give 3 guns to a local tech (G&P m14 DMR, Cyma SR-25 and A&K m249), then I brought two guns to give to my friend as he's buying them from me (Cyma m14 and TM Hi-Capa 4.3) and finally I brought some guns for me to actually use (both MWSs). I had to set up the Cyma m14 and TM Hi-Capa before handing them off, so I did that first. All good there. Then I had to set up my MWS with a new hop setup and initially it wasn't amazing. Hop up was on the all the way and it was hopping the .4s, but since I wanted to run .43s I was a little crestfallen. Oh well. I then went back to the car, took the G&P m14 apart and sprayed the stock OD to cover a digital desert camo that was already on there (got it 2nd hand and that was what was on it), and then sprayed the cheek riser and heatshield plain black. Only took two coats, so I sprayed it, waited for it to mostly dry, then gave it a 2nd go over and it looks so much better now. Left it hanging on the tree for the whole game day as it wasn't meant to rain and I wanted to give it the maximum amount of time to dry. So I finally got out to play with the mk12 MWS, set up as a DMR at about 1.8J. At first I went to a path and saw a ghillie in a holly bush at the end of it as I was peeking through a crack in the wood, so I waited until someone from my team pushed up, I saw him faffing with his pistol and then peeked and took him out. As my team pushed up to where I was, I saw that nobody was covering a very obvious route where the enemy players seemed to be attacking from and then shooting our team in the back, so I set up by a barricade and simply watched that way. Despite the fact that it looked like I was well out of the fight I got a surprising number of hits on players trying to sneak up that way until I heard a lot pushing from the other flank, so I repositioned to get an angle on them. Despite the fact I was only out for 40 mins, I got a lot of hits so it felt good. Then I went out in the afternoon and the hop rubber in the MWS is starting to bed in. It was overhopping the .4s now, so I took it down a few clicks to get it straight again. I also tried some .43s at lunch as my friend had some and it was hopping them amazingly well, so 2kg of .43s is being ordered this evening. It was a 3 base domination and I managed to crawl onto the side of a small log pile, deploying my bipod and watching the right of the base with my friend on his bolt action a few metres back and covering my blindside. Managed to stay there all game, slotting any of the enemy team who came down the right side and none of them could locate me, despite the fact that I'm not exactly using the quietest of guns; MWS is a GBBR after all! I only got hit because a bunch of rentals crouched behind me, despite there being no cover, and someone shot at them and hit me by accident. Thanks guys... 😐 We then swapped sides and I took to defending the flanks again. It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it! Final game that I played was an attack and defend with us as the attackers. I crawled all the way along a flank, as the foliage is high enough to where I can get into good firing positions on the base without people seeing me at all, which is exactly what I did. Sniped a few of the defenders from their positions and then took up a spot to try and cut off reinforcements. The only shame is I got a lovely shot on someone moving in to medic another person I had already shot, only for him to completely ignore the shot. It was getting later in the day where people haven't drunk enough water and hit taking was getting questionable, but I was going to call it there anyway. I still had to get back to the safe zone to reassemble my newly olive drab sprayed m14 so I could give it to the tech, along with my SR-25 and m249, so I did that. 6 week lead time, but I'm not desperate, especially with the fact that we're in spring and will be moving into summer at some point; all my gas guns will be at their best, so that's what I'll use for now!

Ok, I heated the end of the spring and compressed about 15 mm ish. Put it all back together and it was totally dead!! Stripped it apart, and slipped, it all went flying all over the floor! Bollocks!!!!! So reshimmed, rebuilt, reassembled and it shoots lovely but stitting at a reasonably consistent 305fps on .28s so 1.2j. Still a little spicy. It was around 320fps on .28s - 1.3j. I've had a look but can't find a spring thats 160mm so I'll probably just heat/compress a little more. Not today though.

Any site that plays semi only but allows hpa spam at a faster rate than most stock ages on full auto are just stupid. Same with the sudden aversion to tri-shots or gas shells. I had a site the other day tell me no moscart's at close range. The old mosquito mould 180's that are probably older than some players. Where else are you supposed to use them? You could probably throw a hand full of ammo harder but no, that's over kill. 7 rounds to the face though at dead on the limit in semi auto... Rock on! I don't care about trigger spam, that's how they have set up the gun. If they want to use that then groovy. What I do care about is a level playing field. If they are going to do that then the opposing player should be able to light them the fuck up.

Actually brought myself to watching the video.....I can't say how frustrating these AI voices are....especially the scripts. How hard is it to get a native speaker to proof read them?

Fully aware of the history thank you, I've been in this game since 2005 You still haven't answered any questions pertaining to who you are supplying to, are you just a re-distrobutor of ICS?

"Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should" springs to mind. Given that AI content is in its infancy and that it has been used to misrepresent companies, their products and services, it's not unreasonable for people to raise suspicions. As you claim to be a B2B dealer, you should surely be aware that trust and a good reputation are hard to build but easy to lose. Telling people to "calm down" when bad actors are a reality (not saying or implying you are one) isn't conducive to building that good reputation.

The food & drink rule is disappointing, not everyone can eat the crap some sites churn out, nor should they have to shell out silly prices for essentials such as bottles of water. What were the options offered for food & drink ?

If you're looking for experiences, then it might be a good shout to check out the Recommend a Tech threads Otherwise, I would say it depends on your gun, what you want from it, your budget and how long you wanna wait The more experienced/popular techs will no doubt have the longest waiting times and higher cost per hour charge. If it's for your ICS then Fire-support are the UK ICS specialists and tend to have all the little obscure parts for them - their site says "Labour fee is calculated on a job to job basis, but a service is approximately 30-40." I used them briefly when I bought my ICS Mp5 on release and had a motor issue. They were pretty quick, with fast/friendly comms and sorted the issue - no problems People will have their go-to techs for things like HPA, GBBR, Tokyo Marui as those particular places will have a name for doing (hopefully) great work with them You should look to get anything minor like general shimming, changing a hop, changing/upgrading a piston done whilst booked for a service to get better value for your money/time Shimming and the mere installation of parts like that are generally included in that pricing, just not the actual cost of the parts supplied by the tech, (as you'd expect) Most techs will allow you to provide parts yourself, but will not offer any guarentee on any parts they did not advise/supply So Service+Parts+Return Postage is usually the general "quote". -IF- they offer a flat charge for a Service, then average is usually between £30-50 - depending on what they deem is part of that service. some have different versions with different prices like "basic service" or "full service" If they don't offer a flat charge for a "Service", then yeah it's whatever their hourly rate is and how long it takes them

I'm not sure they always come back working TBH. I do my own teching and will work on mates guns for them and I've been handed a couple that had aparantly been to a pro and were awfull .

In a retail setting and Depending where you go I’d say £20-£40ph + parts 😕

One for the star wars fans

Bit young if you ask me 😂

Do you have a picture of it on? Where on the gun is the sling attached to? It sounds to me like the sling you have is too short for what you want but it may be how you're wearing it. If you're right handed, try putting it on over your right shoulder and under your left arm. That should help position the gun off to one side so it doesn't rub in the centre of your plate carrier. Have a watch of this You may decide that actually a two point sling or a convertible 2 to 1 point sling might be better.

Just got the wiring loom built by Cage/Perun. Micro switches look to have some sort of coating over the switch (the bit that the are pushes down on) so hoping it will live up to the hype of those water submersion videos that Cage posted. It use's an electronic "fuse" so finally that shitty blade fuse in the stock is gone along with basic tone info beeps, low battery and tripped fuse. first impressions seem to be good. Anyone want an photos of any of the insides while I install it? Hight of the pinon against the bevel se t from factory ETC? On the subject of BBs, I have only ever run geoff's bbs, 0.32g Tracer and 0.36g SP. Touch wood never had a miss feed or crushed BB so wary of trying any thing else. This look interesting, a adapter that uses KWA 120 round EPM mags and still has bolt lock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEeIW41gvg4 Good resource for maintenance and disassembly https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCctYtgnvuGhNogS7wxTE1-A/videos

yup, I got that wrong and you are correct. on another note I seem to have acquired another one. Things worth mentioning are: any attachment on the front end of the gun have a tendency to work themself loose because of the recoil so you need to make sure you tighten them up well or use some sort of thread lock. They destroy chinese optics or at the least throw off any zero within a couple of shots. The FPS is very consistant even to the point that I thought my chrono wasn't registering shots because the results were the exact same. The standard hop/inner barrel with a FPS of 320 feels very Marui like in accuracy and range. with the slightly higher FPS than a standard Marui it reaches out accurately to 60/65 meters once the hop is set (I'm using 0.3g BB's). because the trigger has a soft uptake before the break I'm finding that I can hold the trigger on the break for long periods before snapping of a very quick first shot and because the break is solid I'm not too worried about shooting myself in the foot by accident. I'm a few full days in now with these and I really don't feel like I want to go back to TM recoils, PTW's or GBB's. I'm not saying the GBLS is a better AEG but for me the shooting experience is better.
