  1. I'm guilty of this. I called my MP5 this when the solid stock and c-more arrived as I was wanking myself off furiously looking at it because it looked so cool

  2. I thought I would leave a little post here for people to read through after a bit of a disappointing experience for both myself and a friend on this forum. We recently both purchased Vortex optics from the same seller on this forum ( I will not mention a name and explain why later ). Both the vortex crossfire and vortex Viper were both advertised as genuine and new, both for reasonable prices for what they were advertised at. The seller had great feedback, even a moderator or two had purchased from the seller and left positive feedback. the seller was not robitic and did not seem to be a scammer in any way. A deal was made for both optics and both of us WERE (past tense) very happy. After both being excited we started looking and the optics on different load outs and noticed some odd things with the sights. We had a good communication with Vortex optics in USA and they looked through the adverts and the some of the sellers other adverts and suspected that they were both fake for various reasons. Words were spoken with the seller and a refund was sent for the crossfire but suggested that the viper opmod looked a great condition. the items arrived and vortex was contacted confirmed both were fake. I had previously purchased a spitfire from a genuine seller on here and it came with everything, very good condition for used and confirmed it was real. the crossfire for people to help identify this in the future - arrived sealed in the box, all protective covering, user manuals etc - the paint is hard to describe but has a slight shein to it, the original is more matte coloured. - the dust covers for adjustment has writing and arrows internally( original does not and confirmed) the cog shaped part of the adjuster was not as prominent as the fake aswell. - the writing under the riser on the bottom of the optic was a different font for the serial number - the battery tray had some minor differences with the circuit board numbers also being different, solder joints were not as clean. - clarity was not as clear either As suspected All in all, even vortex said it was a very good copy but they could still tell very quickly. Viper opmod identify First thing I noticed was that there was no seal on the box! There was no manual in it either and finally the rmr rail wasn’t included in the slot in the centre of the box, however it was mentioned it didn’t with the sale. No protective wrapping on any components, tools or battery advertised as new but the bolts had obvious signs of wear and tear - OPMOD only comes in FDE - this was all black - Viper plasti/rubber cover had no markings on it all - a genuine gas vortex logo engraved - OPMOD is written on the side of the Viper - this one did not have that either - blue tint when looking through the optic - writing was slightly off on the font - lower cover doesn’t line up perfectly with the alignment dowels at the front - I removed lower plate to access battery and seal had been squashed on the one corner, battery was fitted and had finger print marks on it - vortex confirmed to be fake for the above but also the circuit board was different to what they use, I didn’t have one to compare with please see attached photos if your interested in seeing if yours may have been miss-sold or scammed. I am not saying that this seller is a scammer or running his name through the mud, he could be genuine, he could be a really nice person and this was all a mistake but my trust in them is shattered and I wouldn’t ever purchase from them again, I would also advise that others be weary when buying a vortex! I have left their name out of this for respect of the fact he ended up letting us keep both optics for £30 total. I have print screens off all our conversations and emails from Vortex optics. My friend who is on this forum also has screen shots of all of his conversations. HOWEVER… THE SELLER IS STILL ADVERTISING BOTH PRODUCTS ON HERE, EBAY AND USED AIRSOFT… LISTING HAS BEEN CHANGED TO REPLICAS ON HERE BUT SAME PRICE PLEASE BE CAREFUL ALL !!

  3. Comes with "a bag of soft eggs" though. Bristol.ac.uk doesn't seem to be matriculating the cream of the application pool.

  4. Whilst they are very good, they are in a bit redundant as they are not the Hexmesh version which is the USP of Heroshark. So maybe £15 max?

    My Umarex / WE GBBR. Shoots very well, has a loud crack and a decent recoil , capable of massivly over hopping .30's on the stock setup.. As with the rest of my WE GBBRs I've not had a single issue with it.

  6. LCT midcaps arrived today for my latest rifle ready to go for the weekend as I cannot stand running round shaking like a set of maracas with hicaps! Just gutted I couldn't find the smaller midcaps and ended up with the longer 40 round versions

  10. Half term regret sale https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/34815-bulldog-m4 "around 4000 BB’s I’m trying to get rid off" Then use them as a deal sweeneter along with the battery, charger, extra mag and broken speedloader, which probably won't fetch a great deal more than a tenner at a used airsoft fair. Yes, you'll have to drop the price way, way below £150. Half that isn't unrealistic.

  15. Yup. I'd run a marker pen over the blemishes. Not spray or brush paint, it's more prone to flaking and spalling.

  16. "very handsome"? What does he refer to other airsoft guns as? Cheeky fellows? I don't think I've ever heard a gun be described as "handsome" before.

    I suppose i'm a purist in the sense that i really like the standard 553 stock and grips. 😂 I only bought the hop-up on the basis of it being an available upgrade. I have no idea how to fit/adjust it yet. All that matters is that you like it and it works for you. I'm a bit boring in how i like my guns. A laser has arrived: I have two more on the way but this one might stay, it's just the perfect size. Clears the light mounting and below the sight lens. This might be this gun finished on the outside.👌🏻

  21. I think I'm letting the side down. I've got one rif, one pistol and am happy with what I've got. I look at other pews and think That's nice but I wouldn't use it as I'm happy with what I've got! I'm sorry. I'll try harder.

  22. Yeah, my 553 started off looking just like yours The only internal upgrade I have done is fitted an npas to adjust velocity I’m actually happy with my accuracy from the standard hop & barrel Fitted the cheek rest and changed the front end Then changed the stock then got a RS Magpul AK MOE grip which took a bit of cutting to fit So this is how it sits now

  23. Metal Cyma Trishot that came with ×18 shells ×3 elastic shell carriers for the velcro panel on the receiver M4 mag adapter + High cap mag Pretty nice at £75, a very fun gun and now a donor piece. Designing a triple TDC hopup that uses AEG barrels for the funny, might be able to get a comically accurate shotgun... Mmm triple barrel sniper...

  29. Lovely c-more clone that was slated for a 9th of december delivery decided to come today, seems lovely so far and was cheap as chips. Looks awesome on the MP5 and I'll probably try it on the AK at some point.

    Finally got around to picking up the handguard extension for my SCAR-H DMR. After all the pain of fitting it, I'm not sure I prefer it over the shorter version I was rocking, simply for where the grip and Masterkey now sit (which are a bit too far forward). It's ironic because it was the PR I wanted originally but I couldn't find one at a decent price. Still, it gave me a chance to redress the cam on the rifle and take some shots along the way. Feeling much better now. 😁

  33. Two new reviews - The PTS EMP Gen 1 M4 mag. The Umarex (Wingun) H8R Gen 2 One's expensive, the other is cheap .... but I really enjoyed both. Its actual words you'll have to read rather than watch a video.
