With the sales and swaps topics locked to seller only posts, this is a place where members can still comment on questionable prices or upgrade claims. Effectively a peer review.

Yeah, mine is the same. They wouldn’t let you run an mp5 DMR for example. I meant inner barrel, not outer. I rate ICS up there with TM except their internals are made for 450fps full auto and they just put a smaller spring (and sometimes weaker motor) for us in the UK. TM’s hop is better out of the box, but I’d say the ICS is a better gun as a whole.

Nice, but. As mentioned before, the issue is to collect and maintain the data of the sites. Unless you have a way of updating all game events all the time.

A bump to let everyone know that you can now discuss AFUK classifieds listings in this thread.

Also i have to say the CYMA M14 is brilliant value sub £100 good range and accuracy out the box and you could make it something special for half the price of a TM M14

Iceni makes some great points, some sites will specify a minimum engagement distance because if the slightly higher fps. i have previously played sites where guns had to be based on real world equivalents, for example an m4 with a box mag isn't a support weapon, & a dmr is generally a full length rifle set to single only, slr/g3/m14/mod0 spr are all great examples of this. tm m14 would be my first choice, well set up gun straight from the box, & an fps that's usable in any site in the country. dont forget this is airsoft, dmr'ing is like sniping, a big part of it is quite literally "state of mind", playing style has to be altered accordingly. get a TM m14, turn the selector to single & play a few games without switching it back, pick your targets carefully & enjoy the warm glow when you take them out with one or two shots. if after said few games you decide it's for you, get it set to permanent emu & see about upping the fps to 420-450,game on

your question to yourself should be, what gun do i want to turn into a DMR?? and then aeg or gbbr??? most airsoft guns are essentially all the same anyway! with expections for aeg-gbbr , for me i like the the SVD dragunov, H&k g3 series , so lct as mentioned above would be perfect for an AEG g3 MSG90 or psg-1 build , Aslo being dmr/semi auto i would recomend going gas , the trigger /blow back feeling is sooo much nicer with no whiney motor! just a nice thwack!!! really changes the overall experiance of airsoft,

Personally I wouldn't do a DMR. So this is all IMO, and is more me waffling ideas rather than helping The reason been that most sites only offer 50fps in upgrade speed, and for that you loose close engagement range, and full auto. It's easy to make the trade if the gun you want will be capable of 500fps and is single shot only like a sniper rifle, but for a long range AEG 50fps isn't enough to warrant the drawbacks. As it's not going to lift a significantly heavier BB over 350fps. What I would do instead is have a main battle rifle, get it tweaked to shoot flawlessly, Then use that like a DMR but with the bonus of been able to shoot a close target, or flip into full auto just to upset people who think you have a DMR. The rifle models I would pick from would be the Fal/SLR, M14, G3. You want a gun that looks like a sniper, long and sleek, but takes mid/high caps, has a standard gearbox. And is capable of been tweaked to hell and back. You play it like a sniper, holding back, picking targets, single shot. And you let people fall into the trap of thinking you can't full auto them. Good models to look at would be: G&G GR14 M14 they do a full wood model for just over £300. Ares SLR The prices of these are wild £450 ish in plastic £540 in real wood. LCT G3 £400 ish. Full steel construction takes real steel parts.

My brother has one of these in black, few other upgrades than this as standard. It was not good out of the box. Far from it, it needed a lot of fettling, it’s now at a standard where it’s pretty decent. He might be willing to sell it if you are interested. I’ll ask him.

Hey @Pfc.Macdonald.J - awesome work! Now for North of Nottingham ;-) Here are a few I know of: https://www.humberairsoft.com/https://www.campsparta.co.uk/https://www.facebook.com/Charlie-Delta-Airsoft-Events-And-Shop-176251912954103/?hc_ref=ARTXOyWVZIeZn3-LGDMgUU4R9lvi1hMKl9hkuk7jdGh7EslhFTySl7-lI1Z75XTQG84&fref=nfhttps://www.skirmishthestan.co.uk/http://www.killhouse.co.uk/http://www.havocairsoft.co.uk/

An AEG or BASR can only impart the volume of air available within the cylinder at the expansion/power rate of the spring pushing the piston. For the most part this push is also fairly constant. With a GAS setup you have an infinite 'volume of air', and the volume required also adjusts itself automatically (via the floating valve) to whatever weight BB is being fired, its like re setting your cylinder to barrel ratio every time you shoot. Where does the extra energy come from? If you set a GBB(R) to an FPS of 328 / 1J with 0.2g for example it will for example take 1 second to accelerate the BB out of the barrel using 10cc of air (all hypothetical!) If you now load a 0.4g BB it will take 2 seconds and 20cc of air, automatically adjusted, because the heavier BB is in the barrel for more time, more energy can be imparted to it. Now when we chrono we are clocking 290 FPS, which equates to 1.5J Should explain moreover https://2shots1kill.com/joule-creep-testing/

@Rogerborg Because of joule creep. An aeg has a fixed volume of air that propels the B.B. out of the barrel. If you have an aeg that fires a .2 at 350 FPS you get I think 1.13 joules. If you add heavier bb’s without altering the air/volume ratio the joules will lower significantly. You might only get .6 joules shooting a .32.. so your .32 not doesn’t have much energy to shead before it falls out of the sky. On the other end of the scale you have gas guns which have joule creep. My mws and mp7 will both chrono at sub 350 FPS on a .2, but th heavier the B.B. in a gas gun (generally at least) you get an increase in joules. So I might be throwing a .32 out of my 350fps gun but that .32 will still have 1.13j or potentially even more energy. I’m sure I don’t need to explain that a .32 with half the energy isn’t going to fly half as far or as accurately as one with double.

Best DMR base gun is a TM M14. Hop is the best, or if not, among the best, straight out of the box.

Any thing can be turned into a DMR before you spend any money i would check at the site you play at what their policy is. the may require the AEG to be a single fire gun from the factory, or they may require a mechanical lock on the fire selector not just a mosfet. Also the big one to remember a well set gun is more important for range and accuracy than an FPS increase.

Need money to fix the car. Guess what has to go.... Last in, first out - Tippmann has to go Gutted.
