    THE TM MWS thread

    Well I’m officially in the club. And it’s my first two tone gun ever 😂. The deal was simply too good to pass up. Thank you to the seller who sold it. You’re a gentleman sir! And before anyone says, it’s green. I know. The chap was not UKARA registered when he bought it in March and it’s never been skirmished with either. Anyway, I’ve a CTR stock to replace the cheap plastic marui one and I’ll add a DD defence rail once I get a PTS barrrel spacer. In the mean time I’ll take the rail off my sopmod. They are the same I do believe. And, OMG, the recoil/blowback. Bloody hell! My teeth fell out 😂

  2. Had a good day at Skirmish Wycombe with @Barny and @snuff. fun games, all though it does feel like the teams were a bit uneven. I definately still love my RIF, got quite a good amount of kills with it, even at longer distance. There were some account of non-hit taking, but nothing I could get to bummed about. During the last game a fight almost broke out between two players about taking, or not taking, hits. one guy dropped his RIF and started taking his vets off. Luckily I was standing closeby, shouted at them and got between them before they got any close and managed to make them act like adults (at least for as long as they're on the field, after that it's not my problem anymore) I think some words were spoken between the two groups later (probably not very friendly ones) but both parties did eventually go home without anything serious happening. I like Skirmish, good big site, and even tho every gameday has roughly the same games every time (the good part is that you get more and more experience on the field and will find out what good tactics are). The marshalls are good, altho today, with the rowdy players, it became clear that they're maybe all a bit too young still (I think they're late teens to early 20's) so when everyone behaves themselves not a problem, but when idiots want to start shit they don't have the experience to adequately handle the situation. it didn't put a damper on my day tho. Most of the day was good, not gonna let 5 minutes destroy my mood. also a plus(-ish), for lunch there was lasagne (with chips which I think is an odd combo, but hey) normally I'm not big into pasta but I was quite hungry so managed to eat something anyway. still a bit of an unexpected luxury. and Skirmish is now also offering breakfast in the mornings (before 10) haven't tried it but cool that they do it.

  3. Did my first night game yesterday and it was great. UK woodland gets SUPER DARK so we were wandering around without being able to see more than 5m in front of us. The only way we could really see anything was silhouettes. (NVGs weren't allowed because of the scenario requiring a well-equipped hunter force having a massive advantage over us) Wore a ghillie suit, got tripped over, took out a whole squad of three people with a pistol. Good day. Very good day.

    Facebook's BS

    Or someone posts "Toy gnu 4 sale" and your group gets Zucced from orbit. That was another great thing about the Depot (chin trembles). They had a website with everything you could need to know on it. Site details, a "what is airsoft" section, clear and detailed rules, prohibited items, UKARA information, and all the events and booking. They just used Facebook for announcements about new events being available, and they usually sold out in hours. That's how you get people in through the door, rather than running a scavenger-hunt quest to seek out the secret players' sub-group and answer-me-these-questions-three riddle to get access and see the events. [Sound of teeth grinding]

    It's all true, most of the site FB pages are hard work to navigate, & if your lucky enough to find what your after, you'd better write it down or screenshot it 'cos you probably won't find it again lol😬 & The non site Airsoft pages are generally insane drivel & kids that shouldn't be anywhere near something that fires projectiles. I was on a few, then one of them banned me when I spoke up about some of the idiocy being discussed, actually did me a favour cos I then looked at the others I was on & deleted most of them (before I got triggered again😬) .

    Hey Mick, sorry to tell you but this is a dedicated AIRSOFT forum, not air rifles, that's not to say that someone on here might be knowledgeable on Air Arms kit & it's availability, but chances are slim. But come over to the dark side, we shoot each other with our guns lol 😜

    Facebook's BS

    I absolutely loathe social media and like many here I miss when companies actually took the time and effort to put up a website. I've lost count at how many times I've looked at various game sites and/or events to try look at what their rules and limits are only to come up dry due to the information simply being absent. I've also lost count of the number of times I've emailed companies/sites to ask "please can you clarify your site rules as you don't have them on your website" or "please can you confirm what the requirements are for event x". I understand that Facebook saves them some money but at the end of the day it's not what the platform is designed for, yes there are workarounds but in my experience it can hardly be called a customer friendly experience. The entire thing is made worse by Facebooks moderation methods and instances where some prat decides to take umbrage due perfectly reasonable responses/valid information. Perhaps I'm just too engrained in my ways.

    K.I.S.S i want an impact grenade that I can put on safe and ideally use several times quickly oh yes the trmr multi ticks that box i want a completely different shaped delayed grenade that is not impact triggered so I have options for most scenarios and won’t confuse the two, oh yes dynatex have that covered. what I don’t want is an overly technical, highly likely to break grenade that I need to check the instruction manual every time I wish to deploy it and probably get blown up by someone with a Cheap paper flash bang whilst doing so

  13. The only reason I made a Facebook account again is solely to check on airsoft sites as that is where they post the pictures taken on gamedays and it's easier to ask questions. Other than that I don't miss it one bit. Instagram was already starting tondrive me crazy so I turned that account into a work-only account and did a big purge of people I follow. (And then ofcoirse I made a 2nd account for airsoft only, which so far I only kinda regretted twice 😅) The big problem with Facebook is that everyone is on Facebook, which means that if you don't, it's more difficult to stay in touch with people you do want to stay in touch with.

    I managed to get all my money back a little while ago when the first round of refund were offered. feel bad for the guys who went in for like 10 of these, they're never coming, it'll be back to the drawing board when the prototypes get melted.

  24. A bit of a mixed bag for me. My camelback leaked on the train and I didn't notice till I'd lost about 3/4 of it. Then no taxis were available so I had to walk the rest of the way meaning I missed the first game. Later my Striker decided to start playing silly buggers. On the plus side the games were great with plenty of enthusiasm from all resulting in some really good games which more than made up for the issues I had in the morning

  25. Another great day! The specna M4 performed flawlessly, sending 0.28s way over there and took full advantage of it throughout the games, at some point a few of the younger players questioned the legality of the gun. Opted to leave the AAP at home and only take the mk23, should have left that one too as I used it once. But anyway. We invited a club we really enjoy playing with, bunch of players who play well but don't take airsoft too seriously, 14 people on the field in total. Games went well, got some long range kills and in the last game I single handedly wiped the whole attacking team. Well, to be completely honest it was almost impossible to dig me out of the hole I found without doing a WW1 style trench charge. Downside: gotta rework my full kit. Again. Fuck me.

    Congrats, I also had a kid. Picked up a couple of new guns, sold a couple of others, did a bunch of design work on my SCAR H and very little on the SMG project and reworked my loadout. I think once I've picked up a viper chest rig and some 9mm and .308 inserts for it that's going to be finished, barring get a set of Emerson woodland combats.

    Air Arms are very helpful on the phone, I'd ring them directly. I'd also say a Walther Reign is a better gun for considerably less money.

    Here's an update on how my URGI build currently stands. TM MWS CQBR - Base HAO Industries MK16 Rail Z-Parts URGI-1 Airborne Charging Handle Z-Parts Daniel Defence 10.3" Outer Barrel Magpul K2 Pistol Grip Magpul ASAP QD Rear Sling Plate Magpul M-Lok Hand Stop Magpul Magazine Pulls Magpul Clone MOE SL-K Stock (waiting for genuine to restock) HAO Industries Geissele T1 mount Vortex Optics Crossfire Surefire Clone M300B Weapon Light Arisaka Clone M-Lok Weapon Light Mount Wiitech Trigger Guard Ergo Gapper Angry Gun 4 Prong Surefire Flash Hider Angry Gun Surefire Suppressor Angry Gun Maritime Bolt Stop PTS Griffin Armament BUIS Ferro Concepts Slingster - Multicam Black Ferro Concepts QD Sling Swivels TacbeltsUK Suppressor cover - Multicam Black SixG Brass Hop Nub It is without a doubt the best gun I have ever had the pleasure of owning and I now have no interest in anything other than GBBR's 😂 Performance is incredible, and other than the brass nub i have no intentions of changing any other internal parts. On a rather warm day a couple of weeks ago it chrono'd at around 260fps using 0.32g and Abbey Predator Ultra gas, which is fairly close to the limit so I'm glad I didn't go for a tight bore inner barrel! Apart from sourcing a Genuine Magpul Stock, Unity Tactical Mount and maybe an IR laser / torch I really don't think it needs anything else other than feeding with gas and bb's! Would genuinely consider buying another M4 MWS in the future to build a longer rifle or maybe wait out and see how TM's AKM MWS gets on, who knows!? Although I do keep looking at GHK 553's... Anyway heres a few photos of my URGI!

  41. already got some abbey 35 oil for my airguns, and i will look into using it on the sten, but i think the manual may be a typo as the steel looks to be "blued", which in itself is a corrosion inhibitor, but i may be wrong i do have a p37 webbing harness and a pair of pouches, but to be able to skirmish the sten i will need more mags, and thus more pouches (or even the bandolier) but with money so tight at the moment, i wont be buying anything much for a few months

  42. M249/Mk46 users.. FYI. Just bought a boxmag from BULLGEAR, which is their upgraded one with metal internals. I was holding off as it shows you have to wire the mag into the mechbox..but if you drop them a message on FB, they will send you the "new" version with a battery inside it. (My 4th shitty plastic chienese piece of expensive crap box mag died on Sunday..no more messing around) £138 inc shipping for the Bullgear box mag. (And A&K plastic box mags retail for £99.99..lol)

  43. Today's game was really fun! 9 people from 2 different clubs plus one or two "freelancers", playing in the hardest and steepest part of our field. Games were smooth, hit taking excellent and we had a good laugh when a single defender wiped the whole attack out in the first 60 seconds of the 2nd last game Did have a few issues with my kit, namely forgetting my bag of bbs at home (had a 2300bb drum, but had to stick to semi auto) and my bodged up backpack ripping itself apart. plus my arms are full of scars because diving in bushes while wearing just a tee is fun If only all game days were like this.

    Hi From Newcastle

    Hi, I'm from a little down the road, in Teesside. Do you have an idea of where you're wanting to play yet? You've got a decent number of sites to choose from up here. NSC just outside Newcastle No Limits in Gateshead Beacon 155 outside Sunderland NTAC in the same area Dirty Dog at Shildon District 23 at Billingham Adrenalin near Richmond Plus a few others a little further out. Shop wise, you have BZ tactical near Stockton: theyre pretty much the only real store in the Northeast, though you also have Just Paintball in Darlington if you're just after the essentials. I believe No Limits also have a small on-site store, though I've never been so can't confirm what it's like.
