  • Things wot I broke today: My trusty TM Strike Warrior pistol is no longer trusty. Suspected nozzle spring or O-ring failure. Slide struggles to return to original position.

    Darn.  What brand should we be avoiding?

    @Rogerborg brand new genuine Xcortech X3200 MK3. Crazy really as I haven't seen much in the way of them being unreliable. 

    I just have the worst luck.

    Darn, you must have gone one from the end of the 16 hour shift, when the 5 years olds are getting weak from lack of food. :(

    PSA: SRC have made a new run of gen 3 XM8's. Original style, PDW and new style. They are available to shops to order from the UK distributor now.

    Uhh. I found a new SRC XM8 GEN3 for sale... That's unexpected. I don't really need another XM8... But this is Gen 3...

    Where the hell do you find these things?

    @AK47frizzle Usually with lots of looking on websites that are not in English. This one I completely stumbled across by chance. Looks like it was forgotten stock that just got listed.

    I'd suggest you have a problem, but this is airsoft - we've all got a problem or we wouldn't be here! ?

    My Real Sword T97 has been stuck at the GLS German international sorting office for 6 days now. Nothing coming up on the Parcel Force tracking number either. When do I start kicking up a fuss? Haven't had a delay like this before!

    @Asmodai, less defense more the Germans get a huuuuge sad on about full auto at above .5 joules. Why some minor functionary may have decided to open your package is beyond me. That's the only thing I can think of out of hand tho I may be completely wrong.

    Where did the guns you ordered from San Marino pass through @Asomodai? Germany or France?

    Asomodai
    Asomodai
    @Skara not sure about zmfrom Italy.  But the guns bought from gunfire were sent via GLS from Poland through Germany. Only difference this time is from the Czech Republic through Germany. 

    Opinions on the TM D.O.R Hi Cappa?

    I understand it has M45A1 Blowback unit and is not compatible with some parts etc. Not looking to upgrade beyond bucking and inner barrel anyway.

    Can get a new one for a good price. I have never had a Hi Cappa before but hear many good things. What is the trigger response like? (Love the response of my TM Strike Warrior, but the M9 has a pretty long pull). Will it fit standard Hi Cappa holsters?

    H
    hunter511
    I looks like a standard HiCapa 5.1 frame complete with the screw on ris plate and should be holster compatible. I was initially interested in one but having seen it with the red dot mounted IMO it looks janky as fuck.

    That said I did notice Elite Shooting centre are offering them at £99.99.

    Cheers folks. 

    At 50% more, I couldn't justify the FNX over the DOR. I have also been offered a new TM PX4 that I am might tempted with! No idea how good they are though. 

    Trigger response is the most important thing for me though!

    Latest broken thing as a skirmish.

    Samsung A70 2 months old, in my pocket whilst playing at Hockley and screen broken. Didn't even get hit! Purple fluid leaking into the screen... have never broken a phone before ?

    No Real sword purchase for me this month:-(

    @Adolf Hamster There is a car tracker program now you can lock and unlock the car from your phone, up to 1 mile away.  

    Personally i I only take my car key out, and attach it to the key loop already sewn into my trousers. 

    Unlucky @Asomodai. I feel your pain.

    problem with that is i'd need my phone on me, and my phone is in the car :P

    Has it been near anything magnetic?

    So decided not to go to the new site in Romford because of the wind. Going to a different one altogether now tonight for the latest in SE Tour reviews ?

    Looking at the next visit for the SE Tour Reviews. Looking at Dragon's Lair in Essex, Reforger and Red 1 School in Watford. 
     

    What are your guys experience of them? I cant believe how close Reforger and Red 1 School are...

    Does Red 1 still not have to top two floor available due to the film crew?

    @Prisce thats a weird reason to ban someone and a little bit stalkerish if they follow what groups people are in on facebook? It does look small but loads of people say you have to go once to make your own mind up, seems to always have a pretty decent attendance.

    P

    Well my team mate rang the owner and asked if he was included in the ban(he had his Ukara registered to DL) and the owner just said Anyone associated with said person is banned, including you and he put the phone down. 

    You have met the Team mate in question by the way, and you’d agree he isn’t the sort to be trouble. It was just incredibly childish of the site owner.

    On another note for the site, we did play some good games there, but the clientele weren’t very happy when we played the games to the rules and out smarted them.

    clumpyedge
    Well.... That's a shitter. Not really how I personally would conduct a site but hey, their site, their rules. A blanket ban judged off of a perception of one player seems a bit much though. I'd book on under a different name and e-mail address ?

    I've been to a few sites where the attitude changes from the regulars when the "away" team starts whipping them.

    Latest broken gun. Only one week old :( Went to reload it and the whole plastic back section has disintegrated.

    I should be able to get a replacement as its very new. But I also spoke to Maxtact who apparently have replaced that part with a stronger polymer one as this is not a one off. They are hoping to push the new part out to retailers shortly. So the question is... Do I get a new one, but run the risk of getting an older one with the same soft part. Or get the newer part in and put in this one?

    I’d get on to the makers and play bollox with them ! ask for either a replacement gun or the new part at the least .

    P
    Prisce
    Get the newer part. That cheap plastic isn't made to put up with the abuse these guns give.

    Decided on what rifle to get next, but the pound is doing terribly against the Euro. Going to have to hold off for now and hope the exchange rate gets a little better... But there are only 2 left in the entire EU!

    Sadly the pound tanking is what we get for for people deciding to "TaKe OoR CuNtRy BaK" and "StOp DeM MusLaMiCs".

    Well, since you went there, Sterling has been over-valued for decades.

    Here's our 10 year balance of trade.  Note that in February this year it was over £7 billion, just in one month - the wrong way.

    united-kingdom-balance-of-trade.png


    That reflects money leaving our economy, and ultimately it only comes back in when DeM MusLaMiCs (or the Russians and Chinese) purchase up our infrastructure for rent-seeking purposes, which just leads to even more money flowing out.

    Those of us who work in exports (you're welcome) would like to see Sterling come down a fair bit yet to make us more competitive in a global consumer market that values low price over high quality.

    It doesn't have to be that way: historically we've had period of trade surplus.

    united-kingdom-balance-of-trade.png


    I'm sorry if the long overdue correction to Sterling makes toy gun purchases or booze cruises in Shagaluf more expensive, but it's an inevitable result of living in a high cost, high tax economy with an inflated currency.

    Also, send 'em all back, mine the channel, mandatory gammon three meals a day, and so on.

    @Rogerborg I am aware of that. Interest rates have been artificially low for a very long time to try and increase growth, but it's just not effective anymore and we are trapped as an economy. 

    In terms of buying a toy gun, this is still a good time to buy... so we'll see.

    will bear that in mind, gonna keep them till i'm sure these new ones are good then might move them on.

    Put over a thousand rounds in my LMG at home since I upgraded it. First pull of the trigger on its first game day and sounds like the gears/piston is gone. Bloody hell!

    I feel your pain bud, that very thing is why i ended up taking a mix of hpa's and aegs to every game. Just last week fcu connectors came off so out comes the might jg.

    The f2000 for literally over a year had a phase of working perfectly at home, only to immediately stop feeding the moment it had a target to shoot at.

    Just put some new ZCI Advanced 18:1 gears in it. Shim heights are correct as well as motor. Sounds a bit loud still. But should do for now. 

    For best results watch through speakers or headphones. Phone speakers make it sound much worse!



    I ordered a new ZCI 6.02 363mm for my XM8 Recently. Went to put all the project parts together and realised I had already bought a ZCI barrel in anticipation for the XM8 a month previously...

    ...I guess i'll need to buy another gun to put it in ;)  unless of course I put it in my new Tavor whenever it arrives, would be fairly over volumed though. 

    Been invited to a last minute initial test day skirmish at an Urban training centre in Surrey. Time to finally bring out the KSG for some shotty fun! Hopefully this site will be open to the public in the near future. 

    A whole weekend of airsoft for me! This tomorrow and AP on Sunday. I'm in heaven ?

    Oh Shi'... my missus made an off hand comment about how she didn't realise how many rifles I have... I think she worked out that my 9 rifle bags also have an additional rifle in the large front pocket of each one!

    Oh Dude ! Women eh ? Although TBF my wife keeps nudging me into buying guns, every time anyone in my circle starts a group buy chat it's 'ooh what are you going to get yourself'  It's a hard life ?  Still I know I'll end up paying for it at some point !
