IKEA, B&Q etc will have storage systems like grid walls but @ButcherBill is totally spot on with shop fitting grid walls. They cannot be beaten, and are a standard meaning that there is always a wide range of fully compatible fittings. Use eBay and also keep an eye on local facebay etc for...

For Airsoft gameplay I doubt that there would be any need for 4500psi. But if buying per fill at a dive shop etc that can mean less trips back to the shop (you get an extra 50% per fill) £ per capacity the cost of aluminum is cheaper than fibre wrapped Expect to pay £150 plus for a 4500psi...

Examples of 4500psi fibres The grey is obviously fibre wrapped as you can see the fibres The Fuel one was an ultralite which provably will have had the bladder. This is irrelevant to general usage, but they can come with instructions recommending care on the first fill / when empty so that...

Examples of fully aluminum 3000psi cylinders All of these 3 are aluminium 3000psi cylinders The one with the red markings is a compact 13ci, and is exempt from hydro testing The standard 48ci is not exempt from hydro testing, and could be used legally for 10 years, but will probably have a...

Note that there are no steel bottles on the market in playable sizes (To the best of my knowledge of course) Steel cylinders are available for commercial usage, and historically could have been in use back in the day in paintball (before my time - they were still mentioned on the HPA1air safety...

Yes I don’t know about air efficiency in Airsoft nor the amount of air needed for a days play, but….. Airsoft should be air efficient on HPA, you’re pushing a smaller BB through a narrower barrel than paintball. Paintballs older mechanical designs are not air efficient, and the relatively newer...

Regarding sites charging for fills, in paintball we expect free HPA fills on game days (provided the site is aimed for own gunners) In airsoft it can depend on the site - even if the site runs paintball and airsoft they may choose to charge on airsoft days on the basis that compressors cost...

For the last question on a compressor, I would generally say no. However, the options around personal compressors have widened, and can be viable for a reasonable price. You do need to understand what you are buying, read the manual, look after it etc The initial ones for home use operated as...

@Austeyr is right After quite a bit of “careful” examination, pin pressing the fill valve - “That smells familiar, could it be the added smell to propane, butane or one of the green gas mixes etc?”, then releasing the ringpull and feeling the pin for a spring release - Nothing happens - but it...

I’ve got some time to wait for my next lot, so have had another nose. It is looking very like the lighters with the split spoon , (it does have a second pin) but nothing obvious to flick open other than releasing the pin (Of course a sound FX bang and a lighter could have a dummy split spoon to...

It does look so close to the photos on there with the exception of the two pins I haven’t looked closely at the top of the spoon which does look like there is a break in the corner like the lighter. I’m back in the action for some more lovely bargains so will give it another look over later It...

I’m not going to get around to having a good check over until the weekend, but that’s a good call with a pointer on where to look Thanks

I’ve literally just bought this in an auction bundle, obviously it’s an M84 type grenade Google isn’t helping me, other than with inert replicas or DIY builds, and with a valve in the base I’m not planning on gaining access to any hidden parts by releasing the pin without some space to throw it...

Mum told him to put the bin out so he had to be quick

Try just the shell on its own. Will they screw in? If they go in fine on just the shell but not when fully assembling then something about the body vs shell is affecting the alignment by a slight amount
