    Airsoft thoughts?

    Like a lot of hobbies, you decide your level of engagement and how expensive you want to make it. You could get kitted out from scratch for <£200 and go out and have a fine old time. Not that fools like us do this of course, but we *could*...

    boots/footwear for airsoft,

    I wear a pair of mid-height Merrel walking boots and they've been perfect for comfort, support and durability. They also do a good job of not making your feet smell.  My boss was talking them up for years and now I'm a total convert to the brand.

    TM Hi-Capa Nozzles

    I've got a ghost ring rear sight on mine, it's pretty nice and more solid than the stock sight. Works really well with a fibreoptic front sight. It's worth putting some mild threadlock on the top rearsight screw; it has a tendency to work itself loose, especially if you're using higher power gases.

    120 or 30 rounds mags ???

    I use hi-caps just because I can't be arsed to carry around 7/8 (or 10!) mags, in fact I might reduce my loadout from 3 mags to 2 because I rarely go through even half a mag in a single game. The vast majority of the time I keep it in single shot mode, in fact on Sunday I only switched to full...

    Where a real PC should sit on your torso

    The sight of a poor creaking plate carrier being pressed into use as a girdle may be even worse. At some point a chap needs to do the decent thing and just put on a gillie suit for the sake of the rest of us. Ive gradually come to the opinion that while many people *want* a plate carrier...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    One of the site regulars had an impromptu car boot sale today, lots of bargains to be had. I picked up the following lot for £50-odd: that's 2 moscarts and a launcher, battery bag, hi capa piston, m4 stock, mesh mask, rubber knife and a scope extension with honeycomb shade. Bargain I think...

    Repairing old air pistol - Weihrauch HW 70

    I have headed off any incidents with my own HW airguns before they happen by immediately stripping them down, fettling and relubing. Prior to 2016 I would order them direct from Germany along with an export spring, thus avoiding any problems with Hull Cartridges ham-fisted gunsmithing. Though...

    Xt60 female to mini tamiya female ?

    No, the connector of the sky charger is xt60 MALE and your battery cable is mini tamiya female, so you need an xt60 FEmale to mini tamiya male cable. (I get why its confusing because they both have male/female aspects, but it's the outer plastic part rather than the inner pins that define...

    Good Grief

    Which one is that, out of interest?

    Repairing old air pistol - Weihrauch HW 70

    I am aware. I am also aware that up until quite recently they would just angle grind off the ends of mainsprings when respringing import airguns for the UK market, without collapsing the end coil or grinding it flat. More than one person has fired half a tin of pellets through a brand new gun...

    Xt60 female to mini tamiya female ?

    The cable you need is xt male to tamiya female (assuming your battery leads are male - could we see a pic to be sure? The standard is female).  The socket on the sky charger is female.

    Camo talk

    DPM as above literally designed for the UK/western Europe and I still think its an effective camo, more so than jack of all trades but master of none MTP.  If the DPM guy in Rostoks pic was lying prone at the base of that tree on the right he would blend in very well indeed... If you wanted...
