    Gun picture thread

    Here's my M4 (Specna Edge), my brother's M16 (Specna Core I think) and my XM177 (E&C). The M4 has a Perun hybrid, 14:1 gears, solid bushings and compression set from Mr Ak2m4, motor is a bit of a mutt I built by putting the armature from a high torque motor into the case of a high torque...

    New guns battery cable too short for M16 stock - Battery wire extensions - Are they ok to use?

    I use xt60's instead of deans but have been using a short extender on my M4 for the same reason for a while now, and it's probably done 3 game days with no issue.  Realistically adding a short section and an additional pair of connectors shouldn't make that much of a difference assuming...

    Specna Arms SA-V26 ONE™ Red Edition M4/AR-15 LVOA AEG - Advice, Is it any good?

    I can't comment on that particular model, but my brother recently purchased the SA-G02 "One" which is the M16. Apart from a longer barrel seems to have similar specs to the one you linked.  His shoots like a laser, and with a decent rate of fire out of the box and I seem to remember it was...

    Hop...

    Just adjust hop to get best flight, there's no point in dialling it for max FPS as you're likely to either have BB's dropping or flying up into space.

    What is the quietest standard AEG?

    Dunno about "as standard" but shimming and motor height can make a big difference to noise. Also gear/motor combo changes that speed up the cycle time seem to help - the noise might be the same in volume but occurs over a much shorter period so seems quieter. Obviously not much use if blasting...

    Geoffs- differences between "precision" and "super"

    Thanks, will try the regular "precision" ones instead of the "super".... I don't clean my barrel as often as I should and it deffo looks pretty flipping clean in there with having used the bios mostly.

    Geoffs- differences between "precision" and "super"

    Since I got into the business of playing Airsoft about 18 months ago I have always used Geoff's BB's as general internet consensus was that they are decent. Usually I buy the Bio "super natural precision" in 0.3 but wondered if anyone can tell me the difference between the "super" and normal...

    Are 11.1s correct for my gun after the work that has been done to it???

    Absolutely! ?

    Are 11.1s correct for my gun after the work that has been done to it???

    Last weekend I killed my Specna Edge, I'd dropped some 14:1's in as I'd calculated that with the motor I was running I would get about 24-25rps on 11.1/3s and a more realistic 18rps on 7.4/2s.  Lo and behold after fitting the gears and re-shimming it came out great.  I am lucky to have access...

    Gun barrel and shimming

    Hobbyking is always worth a look for lipos, just make sure you filter by stock in the UK warehouse or you can sometimes wait a while for delivery.

    SPECNA ARMS sa10, m4

    I have the SA-E01, and have never had any issue with XT springs from ak2m4.co.uk, give those a try.

    Eye protection fog issues

    I use a home made fan setup that is based on a 5015 blower, piped into my Bolle Tracker 2 glasses, it works well and never fogs. Biggest downside is very occasionally getting a hose caught on a branch or twig and the whirring noise can be a pain when you are trying desperately to hear somebody...

    Solid first replica, good straight out of box or easily moddable within the price limit - MAX 500 GBP

    I'm new to the sport, and went with a Specna SA-E01 (which is an Edge, and not an "Edge 2.0"). Mine has basically the same guts as your new purchase with the Orion gearbox and 6.03mm barrel. Assuming the hop is the same in the 416 body as it is for the M4 (which i guess it must be as they are...

    Hello from Hampshire

    Thanks for the replies and the warm welcome! Will checkout the mesh face protection and the Earmors look like a good shout too, my brothers do have radios, but they use the ear pieces, which I can't use- the Earmors would solve that. I might switch from the spoggles to some goggles too, which...

    Hello from Hampshire

    Hi all, Just recently got into Airsoft through my two younger brothers, one of them has access to some private woodland which we usually play on with friends, but this weekend gone I played my first "proper" game at Gunman Alpha: Although I was totally knackered by the end, and covered in...
