    Well, looks like I'm buying a MP5, bought some mags & pouches in a sale, just couldn't help myself..now just looking to see if I can get a deal on a SD6 and rock it in the 'tunnels' next month. :)

    If you can find one get your self an ICS MP5 to say they last for years and there bombproof is an understatement ! Mines god knows how old and third hand and it’s still running like a train ! ?

    The JG mP5 takes a lot of beating, ridiculous performance for such a cheep gun

    Question!  Realistically, how long could you run an AEG on 11.1's before things go tits up without a mosfet?  I've seen multiple AEG's running without them and people say it's fine...but seen a lot of info saying you should run a mosfet.  For a gun which is lets say £200-300..is it not just better to run it till it breaks and if it does then upgrade, rather than spend another £100+ on a titan etc..

    Took my f2000 about 6 months to burn out the semi contacts.

    Unless its a unicorn gun with some weird trigger contact arrangement you can go without until it dies, for v2/3 boxes they aint expensive/difficult to replace.

    Of course if your gonna titan then even better as titan removes the trigger contacts anyway.

    The main reason mosfets and lipos get mentioned in the same sentence is battery protection, a good mosfet will stop you overdischarging. Whilst you *can* get away without it you need to be very concious to stop shooting the moment it starts to flag a bit and not just shoot till it stops.

    My AM013 has been running on 11.1s for 2 years since the last service.. No issues at all.

    My 009 on the other hand underwent several services to make it run reliably on 11.1s..

    Regarding your question: high voltage batteries destroy mechanical trigger contacts without a mosfet.

    The voltage is so high it creates a voltaic arc between the trigger blades, in the long run they oxidize and literally burn themselves into oblivion. Mosfets just take the stress away from the trigger..

    If you're upgrading to a titan you may as well kill the standard trigger and then upgrade, as you'll be throwing them away anyway

    Ugh....x2 items I need for my NV helmet setup are stuck in customs. (Adapter for my J-Arm & sacrificial lenses)

    Really wanted to try out my NV helmet setup this weekend @ Drakelow Tunnels....Bloody ParcelFarce!!

    Is it weird to walk around your house with your rifle shouldered...I'm getting stir crazy!  Need Pew!!!!

    M
    Holy shit..i've only gone and done it! lolololol...deep breath!  After spending the last few days lost in my own head thinking about it....i've purchased a NVG monocular!  Bam!!!  No more spending money on guns for a while... :)

    What monocular did you buy?

    Armasight/Flir Sirius SD Gen2+  :)   Would love a Gen3 but price for that is crazy.

    Right..NV will take 7-10 Days, i've ordered from the States some sacrificial lenses and an adapter so I can mount the monocular to a j-arm & mount..of which I just need to find said j-arm & mount.. :)

    M
    Thinking of getting into NV, but worried about shot out lenses.  Anyone know where I can buy lens protector's / sacrificial lenses in the UK?  Bloody ITAR in the states is annoying. :)

    Polycarbonate sheets are cheap, easy to cut with a jigsaw (or a hacksaw with patience), and 2mm should be enough to see off most BBs. All of my sights are running DIY'd polycarb protectors, and my torches now have polycarb "lenses".  It doesn't have to be neat: one sight just has a square slab of polycarb with holes in each corner and thin cable-ties lashing it to the optic.  Looks a bit trailer park, but it works fine.

    the one i have the previous owner was kind enough to have left in a homebrew polycarb lense as rogerborg suggests, seems like it'll do the job and remember it's a night vision sight, to be used at night, so looks arent important

    Going into Birmingham tonight to try out Bravo One.  :)

    Well what a waste of time that was...first off I paid for parking but it was free after 6pm. (Machine with info had stickers all over it, so couldn't read any of the blurb)  Got onsite, started setting up..chrono time and 330fps maximum limit.  WTF?  Both my G&G and ICS were too hot for this place, just a tad over their 5% allowance.  I can use my guns at other CQB venues just fine as every other CQB place i've been to is 350.  So faced with no usable pew pew...I had to leave, asked for a refund but they said no!  Then they offered to rent me a AK for £12 for 2hrs..Umm, no thanks.  So walked out pretty pissed off and £24 + fuel down in pocket.  (Even put a m95 spring in my ICS as it's quick change, but still just over)

    Should I buy a m90 spring and go back?  Seemed like a good bunch of lads who turned up...just annoyed at their silly fps limits. /end rant!

    Need help!..When filling my Tokyo Marui HK45 pistol mags with greengas, I have an issue with a lot of gas/liquid not actually going in and spurting everywhere from the gas fill nozzle and valve..some gas goes in but a lot just goes everywhere..this happens on all 3 of my mags.  I've removed all the valves, lubed them with silicon oil, screwed them back in gently, but still get a lot of excess spurting out when filling..they never did it when new.  Any thoughts or tips?

    Have you ever had a TM before? This is standard behaviour when filling mags. They are quite sloppy to fill and the gas gets sloppier when they are full. 

    If its not that then I have far better results with Plastic nozzles.

    better with a plastic nozzle

    Well just tried the silent fill o-rings, which were a bugger to put on, but sadly it's made the problem even worse...liquid greengas goes everywhere. I think I need new valves..but can't find any atm. :(

    M
    Question: Can you run a non-TM midcap in a SCAR-L?

    Druid799
    Druid799
    With the wee mag adapter you can but you do loose the bolt stop function (which for me is the main reason I buy TM recoil Armalite platforms) 

    M
    Monkman
    Righto...am thinking of getting a SCAR, but I already have x10 Mid caps.  While the bolt stop function is cool..it's not the main reason I would want a TM.  Mag adapter!  Ok, Cheers Druid.... :)

    M
    Damn..just been put forward for a new job..£10k more than on I'm on right now..but I love the people I work with, the location and the shift patterns...but new job means every weekend off..so more money for Pew Pew and playing every weekend.....I've put in for it!  :)

    Best of luck buddy! I’m trying to get a new job too, but have to shell out £100k first!

    Really had to say no to a TM SCAR L today.....Can't justify spending more £££ on another gun..do I really need 4 rifles?

    Only 4? That’s some heavy slacking! In my first 12months of playing I accrued 24 RIFs... it’s taken me another 18 months to slowly cut that number down.

    24. Good effort that man!
    Although tbf, at my current rate of accrual, I might meet you at that.
    14 so far since February..... eek!

    You boys need a drug habit to help you stop buying RIFs!

    Well that ASG Storm 360 I bought is a pile a shit..filled it up, went to use it in a cqb scenario..found it lost it's gas.  Went back to re-fill it, noticed gas leaking from the bottom.  Still wouldn't work, refilled it again but leaking was worse, liquid was just spurting out of the bottom.  What a waste of £50!

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but have you checked that the valve core is secure?

    M
    Monkman
    Not sure, but I did take it apart as I thought maybe an o-ring was broken, but both top and bottom o-rings are ok.  Lubed them and put it together again..still leaks.

    Rogerborg

    God dammit.  Bloody airsoft gear, I'm thinking of switching to Nerf.

    Just a heads up... JDAirsoft has just received some Tokyo Mauri stuff, it's up on their website! Would've bought one there and then..but just paid for a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 Scope and a G&G TR4-16 two weeks ago. (Scope going on my ICS, which I'm going to convert to DMR)

    M
    Went to JD today to put one of my guns in for warranty repair and to buy some bits & bobs...Walked out with another new gun.  Dammit all to hell!!!!   ?

    Just a G&G TR4-18 in Tan...wanted something for CQB, so new Tan holosight to go with it also...already have a Tan AN/PEQ15.  Pimping...and pretty cheap as they had a 10% off everything that day.

    Sweeeeeet !

    dont knock it bud , a fair few ‘seasoned’ S’ofters look down on combat machines but if your after a gun for a specific job then it’s the perfect choice for the job . ?

    @Druid799 the TR4-18 is a Top Tech, not a Wombat Machine. Good guns, nice choice!

    I'm in the market for a new CQB gun and I'm thinking of two options, either a Mk18 M4 or a HK 416.  Below are two examples that intrigue me. (Tokyo Marui's are just a little expensive atm...)

    Anyone have any experience with either of the below options?

    1)E&L  Mk18 MOD1 M4

    https://extremeairsoft.co.uk/shop/assault-rifles/electric-aeg-rifles/m4/el-ar-mk18-mod-1-m4-aeg-elite-rifle/

    2)G&G GT Advanced TR4-18 (HK 416 clone)

    In your shoes if I can I always try to scrape the beer tokens together to buy another gatt that’s basically already to go if I can . I find if I’m after a very specific gun I’m never truly happy with my own build but if I can get one ready built from a retailer ? 

    The specna

    £183 from Gun-fire.

    Was at RIAT today to watch da planes...found a RAF Regiment stand and got to play with some guns...OMG! I cannot believe how good the Elcan Spectre x4 optic is on the L85A2...me wanty one!!! (I have  clone Elcan and love it...but the real thing..shit hot!)  I just need around £2k I suppose to buy one..lol

    Bugger...just got my rota for my new job and i'm working both Sunday's at two of my fav sites..Grrr! At least my 3rd fav is available on a day off!  Time to break out the lights & lasers and hit some dark dark tunnels!!

    Is .30g BB in a 350fps ICS MARS with Prommy purple & flathop to much to ask...or stick with .28's?  I seek wisdom from the Elders... :)

    M
    MisterG
    It was too much for the APE, .25s and .28s seem to be the sweet spot for it.  Is the MARS similar enough to the APE?

    L3wisD
    .30s with a prommy and Prowin (standard nub) in mine no problems.

    Mine chronos at 330. 

    I found the purple better with the standard nub than being modified into a flat version

    try it, if it can lift it then it'll be good, although the problem with heavier ammo is the bb travel time, but it's the choice we all have to make.
