    Love my RPK but it’s a bit slow, any upgrade suggestions as I’m truly clueless when it comes to techy stuff like that?

    I keep mine slow.  Chugging is better than bryyrttting in my book.  

    Learn to hit the noisiest cover to keep heads down.  The support gunners role is to supress.  Shooting a noisy pattern of BBs interspersed with a 'likely places that the opposition will appear,' is key. Too fast fire rate will just eat up your BBs. 

    Eight years in to support gunning and I've not teched the damn thing once.  My G&G M4 is tricked out to the bollox as are various other rifs.

    That’s a good point to be honest and I hadn’t considered that. Thanks gives me some thinking to do.

    it's because once you get an ak, you realise it's superiority and don't want to sell it.......

    Very kind of you bud , but unfortunately beer tokens are a bit scares at the mo (just bought a new gatt and ordered a shit load of webbing , buckles , Kydex and cordura to start making kit again) .?

    Does no one want to swap a PSG1 haha. I wonder why oh I’m asking a lot for it. Maybe I should make it cheaper.

    Yeah I’m not desperate to offload to be honest but would like to reinvest it more toys.

    Several factors honestly. Most people arent going to want to pay 130quid over retail even if it has an added scope. This is even more true if its a GBB. Then the market for GBBs is generally smaller than that of AEGs, so your crowd of potential buyers is smaller. Next, GBBs as DMRs tend to be less accurate than their AEG counterparts, so people looking to field it are going to be turned off by that. This is compounded by only having one mag - people are going to need to buy more if they want to field it (and the mags arent cheap - an extra 50 quid a pop adds up fast). Any gun once used generally drops in value by a third, so at best you should expect to get about 675 by following only that rule ((860+165)*2/3)(though that can vary wildly based on availability, desire, etc.). A collector is just going to buy new, as they will want a perfect condition version, and brand new that gun plus the scope would only cost about 1020 quid. Id set it at 800 open to offers, and see what comes along, expecting to get between 650 and 800 for it. Theres no major issue leaving your starting price that high, but most people are going to ignore it with that high of a price tag, even if its just a fill-in.

    Great advice, I knew I was being a quite optimistic at that price. Will drop it and see what happens. Being honest I’m more hoping for a swap but we will see what happens.

    Funnily enough I’m in a bit of an eastern block themed mood at the moment my self , but to avoid going Russian I use Ukrainian patches on my kit .?

    Yeah might get rid of the AR’s get a Gorka and just do Eastern European stuff.

    Well I’ve just ordered some mags from KYAirsoft for the XM177 (currently on sale). I pray that it gets through ok without shipping issues.

    Great day at NPF, got totally annihilated however was fun. I have realised the PSG is not skirmishable so considering selling it. Any takers? Haha ?

    Just not practical for a skirmish in the woods. Probably more suited to open ground and something a bit slower pace.

    @GenuineGerman I was at NPF yesterday as well! I was on Blue team though. To be fair the onus is totally on the marshalls to rebalance things. In the morning session we (instigated by myself and a regular) moved the blues back away from your spawn to centre field, from what we observed, only a handful of your guys actually tried to push back out.

    Was a good day though, if I'd have known there were forum members about I'd have come and said Hi!

    GenuineGerman
    GenuineGerman
    I will be going again in the next couple of weeks so can say hi then ?. The problem was that once people got trapped in the spawn they got demoralised and couldn’t be arsed. I think the marshalls should have reset and started again. Then I think it would have been ok.

    Just picked up a G&G TR4-18 - Any one have any issue running 11.1 in this?

    I ran a Nuprol 11.1 1450mAh 30C battery in it for approx 2.5years without issues, then stripped the gears and cracked the gearbox.  Negative Airsoft redid the insides and now I run a 7.4 lipo in it for CQB mainly.  He says I can run a 11.1 lipo but to make sure it's around 15C nor more than that.  :)

    Having a bit of a dilemma. Got a skirmish booked on Sunday and want to take my PSG but I feel like it people may think I’m one of those people if I do take it. Not sure what to do.

    I very rarely have a problem.... most of the time it’s just cheaters! ?

    However my solution is simple, if people overstep the mark, go to the Marshal, cover yourself.... then open hunting season.... hopefully no one on your side is a problem, otherwise blue on blue! ?

    Toxic site, toxic players, do exist.... thankfully more good, than bad!!!! ?

    Good reason for some pics as well! ??

    I’ve finally managed to get a PSG1 sight on my PSG1 strangely enough. Bloody hard going trying to find one and along the way I now own a TM PSG1 ffs. Haha ?

    Any recommendations on a good back panel for a plate carrier? Something more affordable than the WAS assaulters back panel.

    Definitely function over fashion. I want something to carry spare gas, bb’s, mags, hydration and maybe some clackey. Don’t want to have to go back to safe area to rebomb and recharge mags

    Either of the aforementioned would be fine for that, though it's worth putting some thought into how you're countering how back heavy that rig is going to become. Having the rear continuously wanting to pull the front bag gets extremely irritating/uncomfortable very quickly. The easiest quick fix would running a foam dummy plate in the rear plate bag (because the weight is coming from all the gubbins on your back), and a weighted training plate in the front as a counter weight.

    Stuff I'm sure you'll figure out on your own as you tweak things, but felt worth mentioning ahead of time. I very much run more minimal, but that's come from years of playing and knowing what I do and don't use on average.

    That being:

    • 5 150ish rnd midcaps (1 in RIF, 4 on front of PC/chest rig)
    • 3 pistol mags (2 on belt, 1 in RIF), truthfully with the amount I use my pistol outside of CQB I could drop this to just the mag in the RIF and notice no real difference
    • AR style speedloader (450-ish rounds, in either utility or dangler pouch)
    • Ammo sock/pouch thing with extra BBs in it (utility pouch)
    • Spare battery (in utility pouch)
    • Bottle of water (usually in dangler pouch)


    Even listing it out like that I feel like I'm carrying too much for what I need ?. But I'm also not against having to go back to a safezone to top up things if I absolutely need to, though that set up is usually more than enough to get me to lunch time. YMMV, I always land on I'd rather carry less and go back to a safe zone if I need to versus carrying a bunch of extra crap I might never need.

    Good point about the weight. I’m not looking for something that is massive and I don’t plan on carrying too much however your experience has made me rethink if I do actually need one. Made for now I will leave it unless a cheap one comes along. Cheers mate
