You're absolutely right about the evolution of how people consume their info but with more and more social media platforms cracking down on firearms and replicas it'll be interesting to see how things develop. Personally, I really like the forum format and I would hope we'd see a swing back to that but I'm not sure that generations raised on social media will want that.

The I want it and I want it now generation would not. like forums.

They require a spring. You might - and I stress might - need a chub nub, or to shim the stock nub, to lift 0.46g+. I shoot 0.43g from mine, and with only a spring change and Rapax rings to tune it to bang on 2.3J, it's already more consistent than my aim, and stealthier than my field-craft. So while I agree that you could get even betterer performance out of throwing away all (and as you say, all) the internals of a VSR, I'd suggest that it only makes sense if you enjoy the process, and are prepared to spend more than a TAC-41 or Novristch SSR, and have the opportunity to tune and test between game days, and are very serious about Bush Wookeying to the point where you're washing your balls before playing. There's no wrong way to airsoft, and I did have fun tuning an MB-01 on a budget, but it went in the bin-bag of shame the instant I pulled the trigger on a Silverback.

Wow, i haven't seen a ROFLcopter for years.

Hello everyone, I am from Taiwan, sorry, my English is not good. This is my custom gbb, all handmade. 【CUSTOM GBB】 Mauser Model 712 "Schnellfeuer" Machine Pistol Chinese contract basic version SN/31232 WE M712 base toy and real gun toy and real gun toy and real gun toy and real gun after and before

Such a sad sight that I reckon I'll be hitting the JD soon. 😥

I managed to get a Dye SE with thermal lense from eBay for £45

Generally all the little add ons are fairly irrelevant to pricing a used rif, the exception being serious internal upgrades or serious accessories.

Just got an SRU-Precision bullpup chassis from Taiwan and fitted it to a Bravo Company VFC GBBR. Powering it with HPA through a TAPPairsoft M4-AR adapter. Added a Maple Leaf Hummingbird short-stroke bolt to replace the stock-tube recoil spring, which is great because the original recoil was distractingly strong. It seems to need higher pressure than expected but I've heard these V3 guns have steel internals so they can take whatever pressure you put through them. Can’t wait to skirmish with it in a fortnight.

Yeah, I totally agree there and that was largely my point. I'd only advise a VSR to someone if they want to go down the hyper-tuning rabbit hole, or they're going for that particular look. I'm the type of player who does well with a VSR; I've given game days a miss to just sit on the range all day and tune setups. Also, of my 41 guns, 11 are bolt actions (will be 12 as I'm grabbing a Tanaka m24 soon(ish)) and 12 are pistols. Over half of my collection are bolt actions or the pistols I carry along with them. I also use gas bolt actions because I enjoy them and can get them shooting incredibly well, however that requires minor teching literally every game day morning to get the power right for the temperature on the day, so I don't ever recommend those. TAC-41 is, at the moment, the "best" bolt action on the market for the majority of airsoft players looking to get into that kind of playstyle. Even I was tempted to build one when I saw that nice m-lok handguard that extends all the way down the barrel, but then decided I didn't want to spend that much on another gun (because you know I'd swap out all the parts!) and it wouldn't get used much anyway with my massive preference for (gas) m700s

Right having just read the whole thread ( yawn ). 1. Forget snipers, GBB even NGRS/ ERG and get a bog stock AEG. 2. Don't spunk all your budget on the gun, you need mag, batteries/charger ( if gun includes it, bin it. Forget NIMh and go Lipo ), mask/goggles, LBE etc etc. Spend maybe 2/3 on the gun. 3. Visit your local site or sites and play a few games. Talk to regular players, we love to help newbies with advice. Some of the nicer players may let you try there gun. Try as many different types as you can. Once you know what type you like you can look at makes. Unless you particularly dislike em or really like something else an M4 is probably best choice. Also see what site uses as rentals, they generally use something very solid and reliable. 4. If you visit a site a few times this is defence sorted, if you wish you can then get this registered on the UKARA Database ( as long as your site is part of the scheme ) to aid proving your defence. 5. Try to visit a few large shops and again have a play or feel of as many different guns types as you can. Speak honestly to shop sales man and seek their advice, bare in mind of coarse they are probably gonna try and sell you something they stock. 6. When your ready to buy hopefully you'll have some knowledgeable friends buy then, take them to the shop with you. In Fact get there recommendation on good shops. 7. When you buy a gun buy the battery there as well and make sure it fits your gun before you leave the shop. Sounds obvious but, one M4 may need a different battery to another ( or any other gun ) so make sure you have the right one. 8. Buy a gun bag or slip, never carry gun uncovered n public or n a bag where the barrel or but may stick out. 9. Take you time think about it and don't rush out n by the first gun you see. At your budget you should get a good gun that will last you a good few years if you look after it. 10 Even at your budget a spring or hop up change may be a good idea, a good shop will advise you of this. IF however you gun is shooting at a legal power level this can easily be done at a later date. 11. Get out there with your new gun and enjoy yourself. Goodluck in your new hobby / financial drain.

JG do a g-spec as well, but I think Cyma only do a regular one so if you were looking to get a g-spec the choices are TM or JG. You can get aftermarket parts to convert a full length to g-spec length, but that's more cost. In the end, you will be swapping out pretty much all of the internals to the point where after I bought an aftermarket stock, I was able to then build a third VSR purely out of spare and extra parts I had accumulated across the other two VSR builds I'd done. Mileage varies, but if you go all out on the internals, you're probably swapping out the hop unit, rubber, nub, inner barrel, cylinder, cylinder head, piston, spring guide, spring and trigger unit. And yes, that is literally every internal part that I just listed. There is definitely something to be said with just getting a tac41 instead, as those require a lot less upgrades, but if you're like me and don't really like the aesthetics, that's a problem. Also, in my opinion, a fully kitted out tac41 doesn't perform as well as a fully kitted out VSR, however it's a lot easier and cheaper in the end to get a tac41 that performs well than a VSR that performs as well, let alone exceptionally well. It's a good choice though if you like how it looks. If I was going to compare the tac41 to the VSR, I'd say pros and cons are: + better out of the box + has better air volume for heavier BBs / longer barrels (41cc vs ~35cc in a VSR) + easier to get it shooting quietly + easier to put attachments on such as bipods, lights etc. + has QD mounts for sling, which is probably better than the crappy sling mounts on the VSR + more options for external parts and better modularity + (much) higher performance floor - (slightly) lower performance ceiling - less adaptable for various filmsim or period milsim events or impression kits - heavier than a VSR (even the Lite version is heavier than a g-spec) - less options for internal parts

Exactly what I was going to suggest too 👍

Are you talking yourself into buying a TAC-41 😉

It used to be my homepage, especially in the golden age of chinese clones - the news page was always ticking over when companies release press info and promo shots. Now in the age of social media and pushed content, manufacturers can just skip the middle man and show everything direct to consumers. Gonna miss it, despite not being there for years. It's like your primary school being torn down. Makes no difference in your day to day, but you still want it there.

Dying for for Emperor at Biohazard 2. It went great after I gave up on trying to defog my eyepro and just switched to mesh. The most remarkable thing was the countdown timer to the next game, which meant actual 10 minute breaks and a 45 minute lunch (plus wrangling time). Klaxons and everything. All sites should have this, no exceptions, no excuses.

Just to throw some more confusion in to the mix, I have a Gen 1 Mustang SFP scope, the Victoptics S6 (1-6 x 24 SFP) and I had the original version of what is now the Victoptics ZOD 1-4 (mine was FFP). Victoptics are the "budget" range of Vector Optics products but they are definitely better than most other cheap units. The S6 comes with a throw lever for the magnification ring too. They've all been fantastic scopes. The ones that go down to x1 are true x1, they hold their zero and will survive most ham fisted treatment. I say most because apparently if an 18 stone bloke falls arse over tit and lands on it, it bends.
