He lives just down the road from me if he's actually in talke. I could almost shout "its overpriced you dreamer" from my back garden and hed hear it.

I have ordered a couple of times from Powair6. PTS emp mags and other accessories but never a rif. I have never had any problems, items perfect, delivery tracked and reasonably fast.

As much as this is true, you’ve gotta be some sort of fucking nut job to pay that for a reusable grenade! 😂

I agree. Normally when I review airsoft guns there is usually some soft of negative point but I'm finding it hard to find anything slightly wrong with the DE I just reviewed. I think that if all the DE models work as well as this then the big boys are going to have to step up to compete.

A brief history of the RS Honey Badger. Developed in 300 BLK ammunition for the replacement of the US SOG MP5 SD range however it was never adopted but AAC and then Q went on to refine the Honey Badger and offer it to the civilian market. Currently the range includes an SBR, Pistol (actually an SBR but with brace instead of stock) and lastly a suppressed model. The Double Eagle M904G. Double Eagle is normally a name I have shunned as they have made some pretty bad, low powered airsoft guns over the years and it would take a lot for me to even consider buying anything from DE. When I saw the new M904G from DE appear on the Taiwangun website I almost overlooked but I thought I’d have a closer look at it seemed to be a good external copy of the real Honey Badger. After looking into DE’s offering a bit more it got my interest when it claimed it had an adjustable trigger, Mosfet as standard and claimed to be able to binary fire out the box. For info Binary fire is the latest crazy in the US RS market where you get 1 round fired when you pull the trigger and another round off when you release the trigger. I have a mate in the US who has built an SBR in .45 with a binary trigger and it’s mental to fire. Another selling factor for me was the price. DE are offering various models and the M904G can be had for £106. That’s right, an AEG with mosfet, binary trigger, hair trigger and adjustable burst fire (1-5 rounds per trigger pull) for 104 quid. It’s either going to extremely crap or extremely awesome at that price. So after ordering and waiting a few days the AEG has turned up. It’s packaged inside a nice box with foam protection. Inside the box you get the AEG, Hicap magazine (300 rds), cleaning/unjamming rod, a wind up key for the magazine (also has the standard wheel on the bottom to wind if you want), a spare Deans connector, a Deans to Mini Tamiya connector, a decent manual and a Mosfet setup guide. The rifle is made of polymer apart from the outer barrel, Flash hider, Gas pipe, Fake bolt cover, sliding stock rails, part of the magazine catch, charging handle and the nuts and bolts holding everything together. The polymer used is very thick and has no wobbles, creaks or thin spots. Overall it seems rock solid and will take a lot of abuse. Looking in a bit more detail, starting from the front and working back, the flash hider is a metal copy of the Q Cherry Bomb flash hider which has threads on the outside to take a Q flash hider (Thunder Chicken or Trash Panda suppressors) however I don’t think anyone makes an airsoft version of these so if you want to fit a suppressor or another flash hider you an as the flash hider is held on with a grub screw to the -14mm threaded outer barrel. The metal outer barrel has a low-profile gas block fitted and is surrounded by a M lock style rail system. The top of the rail is full picatinny and is held on using a unique clamp system which relies on a nut to hold everything in place. The clamp system seems to be made of metal and also seems rock solid. The upper receiver is in the honey badger shape with cut-outs for the sliding stock. There are also some trades for the FALCON fire control system which is the name for the mosfet inside the gearbox. The dust cover looks to be metal and is spring loaded. The charging handle is a raptor style one and when pulled back makes the dust cover flick down however the fake bolt cover doesn’t lock to the rear so you need to hold the charging handle to the rear to adjust the Hop up. The lower receiver has a fake bolt release, metal receiver pins that are locked in place with allen headed screws, a DE trademark, an extended mag release button, plastic selectors and a very well textured and ergonomic pistol grip. The trigger is plastic but doesn’t have any flex when pulled to the rear. The trigger guard is designed for gloves and is moulded into the lower receiver (just like the real thing). The stock is in the honey badger style and inside is the battery wires which have a deans connector as standard. The Deans to Mini Tamiya in the box allow you to use a battery with a mini Tamiya connector if you want. The sliding stock has 3 positions but if you wanted to extend it more then cutting slots into the metal rails wouldn’t be an issue. The sliding stock is spring loaded so when you press the 2 side buttons to free the stock it pops out slightly making it easier to deploy. The stock cap is more like a cross between a stock pad and brace as it has a cutout on the lower part and there is a little lateral movement but nothing to panic about. There is also a sling loop at the point where the stock meets the lower receiver. The AEG comes with a set of polymer iron sights and these seem to be a copy of the IMI Defense polymer flip up sights. The sights have working elevation and windage adjustments and lack the IMI trademarks. Let’s move onto how it fires. So attaching a 7.4v Lipo in the stock tube you hear the mosfet beep to let you know it’s good. Out of the box it is set for maximum trigger pull, safe-semi-auto but after a couple of minutes following the supplied mosfet programming guide I had it on a hair trigger, with binary fire and burst set to 3 bb’s per trigger pull. Resetting it back to standard takes about 5 seconds if want to start again. With the 7.4v fitted it really is a snappy firing AEG. So snappy that when I fitted a 11.1 Lipo I didn’t see much different in semi but to be honest all this goes out the window anyway when you have the binary trigger set as when you spam the trigger in Semi there are BB’s flying all over the place. It’s awesome. Mine is firing too hot for UK sites so I’ll need to change the spring out for something a bit lower in FPS. I’ll also mention that the hop unit is a rotary designed one and looks to work well with .2g’s and I’ll try it out later with some heavier BB’s to see what it can handle. Part 2 will be a strip down and there is very little I want to change externally (unlike me) and all I will do to this one is fit a holosight and look at possibilities for fitting a tracer. Initial impressions are that it’s ridiculously good AEG for the money and I’m looking at Double Eagle in a new light. Here’s a size comparison of the 904G next to a ARP 9.

You say that like i'm not tempted to get a boneyard gun just to have something to tinker with

Free market. He clearly knows it's a sought after item and perhaps doesn't know about the new BFGs that are similar. Perhaps he does. Either way, it's most likely not going anywhere at that price. Even if some noob does pay more than RRP it's irrelevant as you can't buy them new anymore. It's all very well pointing out the piss takers when there is a plentiful supply of alternatives but for stuff no longer made, you just have to let the market decide.

sorry mate, tell your wallet I'm sorry!

Not that much it doesn't, especially as there are viable alternatives still available, clearly he's massively overpriced it to allow wiggle room for haggling, hoping some desperate noob still pays more than RRP.

Aye, nobody on here is buying guns just now 😉😂

Trust pilot score is 4/5 with some good and some bad reviews pertaining to customer services. Not the best sample size on 12 reviews but still.. An old thread on here about them from 2017: Seems okay, webby looks good.. will add them on. If you are looking to purchase from an overseas retailer sometimes it's good to do a dry run with some parts or accessories and see how that goes before purchasing an RIF.

It's no longer manufactured. He can name his price pretty much. However excessive.

It's literally double the average RRP (if you can find one in stock), I don't think "dreamer" is an accurate description for ads like that, maybe we need a "piss taking cnut" thread for the really speshul ones🤪 I do hope he visits the forum ? 😏

For sure, still makes it no less relevant... As some one who has been there, your own opinion, informed by experience is worth more than hearsay. Indeed, I'm aware that Shanghai has a long history - besides most modern cities do, they start off as small commerce spots or fishing villages on the coast as is the case with Shanghai, typically hundreds or thousands of years prior. I was not suggesting Shanghai was similar to Milton Keynes or Shenzhen in origin (though even the latter has settlement history going back over a thousand years). My point really highlights how the government has managed or maintained both the cultural heritage and image of their cities. During the communist revolution following WWII and even more so in the cultural revolution in the 60s, a lot of old Buddhist and other cultural heritage sites were destroyed - In Shanghai from what I understand there was a concerted effort to rip up older traditional streets and modernise everything - now this of course is not entirely fair as a stand alone point as that is basically how cities work, without this process we wouldn't have any modern infrastructure and would still have cobble stone roads, but if you take somewhere like London as an example, arguably the greatest city in the world for so many reasons, the national heritage trust has gone out of it's way to ensure that important pieces of history are maintained, and that is not limited to massive landmarks such as the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the houses of parliament; but includes little ally ways and cobble stone back streets that carry great weight, atmosphere and our cultrual heritage. The thing is, during the cultural revolution in China, their aim was in fact to eliminate all trace of certain older traditional and cultural aspects. That's what I meant by "possibly a little devoid of any real cultural or historical background" - perhaps, that was unfair on its own and a little more context was required behind that statement. Having said that... as mentioned I've never been to China, I've read, watched and tried to be as informed as possible on certain matters, I hope to be proved as wrong as possible, I hope there are still loads of ancient untouched back streets in old Shanghai which survived the cultural purge; it's tragic when our ancient histories get erased by the current powers that be or fanatics like the Taliban with those Buddha statues in Afghanistan, ISIS in Syria or even Alexander the Great with Persepolis (an ancient event in itself). Yeah I would like to very much, and with me curiosity usually wins over, so suffice is to say.. one day. I would love to see the incredible geological mountain, hill top structures in Guilin province.. it's been on my bucket list of places for years. That's a good point you raise, it's easy to bundle people in with their respective leaders or governments, and there may be a few cultural differences here and there that might make us go 'err what!?', but ultimately people are all just that, trying to put food on the table, look after their family, get an education etc etc...

lol..that teaches me for rushing

So I tested the AEG today using various weighted BB's and the results are: 0.2g upto and including 0.28g no problem with hop or overhop 0.3g upwards don't hop. I'll probably run 0.28g BB's until I get around to S hopping the inner barrel. If you buy 1 and want to run heavier BB's then you will need to look at another hop rubber/bucking/hop unit to run the heavier BB's. I also tried to measure the inner barrel as I'm curious to see what the inner diameter is however I ran into a couple of snags. The first being the flash hider. The grub screw that holds it on and the flash hider actually have thread lock on them. I wasn't expecting this for such a cheap AEG and is something normally seen on high end AEG's. I had to end up press fitting a star drive bit into the grub screw to get it out and used set of pipe pliers to get the flash hider off. This sounds like a negative but its not. It just means the build quality coming from DE is pretty high. You can see on the picture below the red residue of the threadlock on the inside of the flash hider. Once I got the flash hider off I used my calipers to measure the inside of the inner barrel and got a weird reading of 7.4mm as I pushed the calipers in further it got smaller 6.4 until I couldn't fit the calipers in any further. It turns out the inner barrel has a taper for the last 15mm of the inner barrel. Again this came as a surprise on such a low cost AEG. I haven't stripped the gearbox yet but I did find this good photo on Taiwangun showing the internals. I've pretty much set on this layout for now (apart from a 3D printed battery entender which is printing as I type this). If anyone is interested it's now £104 on Taiwangun and this is a mental price for such a good little AEG. I'm tempted to go buy one of the longer models as I think this whole series from DE could be very good value for money. *EDITED as I don't know which way a red dot goes on a rifle

Holy fucking shitballs... That's a bump in price!

ok so bit of an update to this due to the boredom of lockdown figured i'd have a crack at seeing if the drag crisis has any significant effect on our bb's and as far as i can tell the answer seems to be no. in the chart above the drag crisis starts around Re<10^5. for a sphere moving in air Re is given as Re=pvd/u (there's meant to be greek symbols of rho and mu but i cba typing them out properly) where p=the density of air (~1.225kg/m³), v is the velocity of the fluid (or very loosely approximated the velocity of the bb in m/s), d is the characteristic length (again loosely approximated to 6mm) and u is the viscousity of air (~18.5*10^-6 Pas) so if you run the numbers for an 0.2g bb at 2.5j you get Re=62818 which is well below the transition point. in fact you need to be over 6j before you get to the region where the the drag crisis starts to become an effect of note. of course this is very approximate, and as with all calculation based approaches it's entirely possible i done goofed.

Airsoft parts are made to the same tolerances as airsoft meters to real meters. But unfortunately a small size difference can make a great performance difference, and there are no standard specs for them. Everyone just makes a somewhat similar part that they make fit with the factory parts of the same gun, but even their own next iteration of the same part can be slightly different. They make it on a different machine, different supplier even, different material and that adds up to the 10-20% all parts combined.

If it was made for the same brand and same model then you have 80-90% that it will fit. If it wasn't then 10-20%.

BTW this wasn't me.

If you bought the gun then it's not you who is committing an offence so there is no need to paint it.

not a chance in hell unless you replace the trigger, sears, cylinder, piston, cylinder head. At that point you're better off slapping a bolt-m/sdik in there.

No. Superceded by this post (on page 14): Including adverts from our own Classifieds helps to educate the membership of the forum.

I’ll go and get my conch and pig’s head. 🤓

waaaait a second, is a seller putting their own ad in macks with a link showing the product being cheaper brand new!?

Have to say it's worked. Someone got a little twisted up by the ad though. Had 3 messages wanting to buy. Job done I think.

Ok I can see that could be confusing and not worded as well as I should. What I meant was that covid has brought China more into the public eye and made me think about the amount of stuff we buy that is made there ! I blame it on the fact that was the third time I had written the damn post out, broadband kept going down ! probably a bloody Chinese router 🤣

First gun and bits and bobs arrived - I had asked in another thread which pistol to buy and understand this was probably asked quite a few times in the past however thank you to @Heath @heroshark @Davegolf @Dentonboy @Nick G @Zarrin @BigStew for your helpful replies - @rocketdogbert mentioned at the beginning of the thread that the TM FNX-45 was the best out of the box pistol available at the moment and that’s what I got - My gun model is Mazie😜
