I've found as long as you know where to go and what to order it isn't as bad as you'd think. Unfortunately for me I've gone In a few different directions and I'm in the process of building 3 different Russian loadouts because I never do anything the easy way. You should join Russian airsoft loadouts UK page on Facebook. Very helpful I found there.
Well a friend of mine has shown me a comparison chart between a regular e&l and Forcecore and there's only very small differences such as regular motor instead of high torque. I'll try and do a full review once I get it as there seems to be literally no information around on them.
Yeah full polite people loadout. Pretty much got everything on order that I need now. Including the 6sh112 from greyshop. Also got another Ak on order from gunfire Forcecore by E&l Aks-74
Playing my first milsim with Okto Eight in December. Really looking forward to it and getting away from the unorganised skirmish environment. I try and play skirmishes like a milsim in some ways by preserving ammo and working as a team when possible but some people just don't want to play ball.
To prepare for winter I put an extra fleece layer under my camo job done. People make out our winters are really cold when it's not actually that much different from summer. Usually it's just wet, windy and miserable just like summer.
What have you got at the moment? Then we can advice on what you could do to help increase range. As long as it's a decent make gun to start with you can usually modify it enough to get decent range.
