Hi all, for those interested i have also added a video showing how to disassemble this AEG, see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x83ksQddFkE&feature=youtu.be

I try and buy UK retailers only (so i don't have to wait ages for it to arrive, i am a bit impatient). All my RIFs have been UK bought from UK based retailers. Most of the parts and spares for my RIFs are bought in the UK with the exception of some coming from a Northern Ireland based Airsoft company (so still the UK then). Nearly all of my clothing is bought in the UK with the exception of my helmet, helmet cover and comms kit, they were all bought from AirsoftPeak in Asia. My main gripe about UK retailers is that whenever you are in the market to purchase a RIF or other bits and bobs is that dreaded OUT OF STOCK! I like buying all the gear and bits for a RIF when i buy a RIF from one retailer (online or in person) to keep P&P costs down but oh no, theres always something important that is OUT OF STOCK! Whereas in Asia everything seems to be in stock available for immediate ordering. My main example of this would be my comms kit for my helmet, i specifically wanted the Z tactical ComTac 2 with a 2 pin motorola PTT cable as well as the helmet mount and found nowhere in the UK that sold everything under one roof for a reasonable price, in the end i stumbled across Airsoft Peak that had everything i wanted, i ordered on XMas Eve and buy early Jan i had them. So my main thing to Airsoft Retailers is get as many things as you can back in stock, if you are unlikely to stock it for some period of time or it is a discontinued item REMOVE it from your website (ProAirsoft Supplies i am looking at you).

Or get a spare gun as you get a complete gun plus its more cost effective.

I got a KWA Kriss Vector which cost about £350 brand new, the mags for the thing are damned expensive though at £60 per mag. Look around on classifieds and you might find something to your taste

Here's a copy of the G&G Label i got wrapped around my TR4-18 Manual.

If I can find it I will take a photo of the label that I had.

I got a TR4-18 Light in Tan: http://www.guay2.com/web/gt_product/TR418_Light.php?lang=en Which was a Gen 3 MOSFET, when i opened the box there was a piece of paper wrapped around the manual saying "YOU CAN USE 11.1V LIPOS WITH THIS GUN, IN FACT USE 11.1V LIPOS". So i immediately did and very quickly noticed that the MOSFET was heating up just to touch, having heard the horror stories about their Gen3 MOSFETs i snipped the wire and installed a GATE PICO AAB instead, better MOSFET with no over heating

Hi all, just adding my 2 cents worth of a review for the above weapon.

Not related to the post but Taiwan (AKA The Republic of China) is a completely separate country to The Peoples Republic of China, it like Saying that North Korea and South Korea are both the same country and we all know the MASSIVE difference between those two. Differences between the two are: Taiwan is a fully democratic state where its people elect a president, prime minster etc from a number of democratic parties (a bit like here in the UK) China is a single party Communist state where its leaders are elected by a select number of Party members The Peoples Republic of China in it current form was created under the leadership of Mao Zedong (backed by Communist Russia) The Republic of China in its current form was created by General Chiang Kai Shek of the Kuomintang (Back the US of A) The Peoples Republic of China passport is RED with the main govt building as the logo The Republic of China passport is Green. In the UK people from The Peoples Republic of China who visit to study or work with the correct visa must register themselves with their local police force and must notify their local force if they move home or residence. In the UK people from The Republic of China who visit to study or work withe the correct visa don't have to register themselves with the police and are free to move about the UK. Technically Taiwan and PRC are still at war as no peace agreement or treaty was ever signed, like the argument between North and South Korea. Anyways more to the point about SCAR - L Air nozzles lol I found on my friends WE SCAR - L which uses a V2 gearbox to use just a normal nozzle, though i know that G&G sometimes uses a propriety nozzles just for giggles as my G&G MP5 had a different nozzle length from a standard TM nozzle.

Hi mate as a fellow G&G gun owner with two guns that have G&Gs pneumatic blowback system namely the two linked below: MP5A5 http://www.guay2.com/web/gt_product/tgm_a5_rtb.php?lang=en and HK 418 in Tan http://www.guay2.com/web/gt_product/TR418_Light.php?lang=en I thought i would put in my two cents. TL:DR version Its to do with the Pneumatic Blow Back System, if you drop a M100 spring in your gun you will probably go down to about 300FPS, open your gun, lube the green rubber seal between the main cylinder and blowback cylinder, take out the stock spring, using a pair of wire cutters and snip about 2 or 3 coils from the piston side of the spring (not the spring guide side), re install, re chrono if its still too high snip some more of the spring. I had to do this for my G&G TR4-18. LONG VERSION: When getting these G&G type guns and wanting to chrono them its best to ensure the following before chrono. Do use a decent BB brand at .20g and Ensure hop up is fully off. You state that after installing new SHS 13:1 gears and motor you have increased the FPS without changing the spring from 335FPS to 355FPS and that you have owned it for 9 months and that this is the first time you have opened it up, cleaned it and re lubed it. I can tell you exactly where your problem lies; it in the Pneumatic Blow Back System (herein call PBB System) and the sudden expanding of Air. To go into detail, the PBB System of G&G guns work like so: Piston rushes forward after last tooth in sector gear is cleared Piston compresses air in front of it, BB starts to move down barrel Some of that air is ported to the PBB System cylinder above the mechbox That ported air pushes on a small piston in the PBB System cylinder This causes the silver plate on the PBB System to pop back A spring inside the PBB System cylinder the pushes the small piston forward The air used in the PBB System is then exhausted back into the main cylinder before the main piston head reaches the Cylinder head completing a full shot cycle At this point the BB is already about half way down the barrel Watch this video to get a clearer picture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyeGfob0ZUI In order for G&G to provide enough air for both the BB and the PBB System they upped the spring from an M100 to an M110 (or thereabouts), note that as the PBB System blows back a spring inside its cylinder brings it back forward before the main piston head hits the cylinder head. That extra air used in the PBB System as well as its small spring used to bring it forward also exerts a small amount of force on the BB travelling down the barrel even if it is small, this is important regarding why the hop affects FPS in the opposite way. As we know, the general rule of thumb is MIN Hop means more FPS, MAX Hop means less FPS, we also know that a hop unit adds backspin to the BB by friction from the hop rubber. With a PBB System and a MIN hop: As the main piston travels towards the BB the BB starts to move forwards Some air is ported to the PBB cylinder which pushes the blow back system back The reverse then happens as the PBB cylinder's spring and some of the remaining air pressure now rushes back into the main cylinder BB able to move forwards freely as there isn't any or much friction from the hop up rubber Because the BB is able to move down the barrel more freely the air has more space to expand (therefore exerts less pressure on to the BB leaving the barrel), BB exits barrel at say 320FPS With a PBB System and MAX Hop As the main piston travels towards the BB the BB starts to move forwards Some air is ported to the PBB cylinder which pushes the blow back system back The reverse then happens as the PBB cylinder's spring and some of the remaining air pressure now rushes back into the main cylinder BB starts to move forwards but gets caught in the friction exerted by the hop up rubber therefore slowing it down (as normal) But because of this the air from the main piston and PBB have less space to expand (therefore exerts MORE pressure on the BB pushing it harder) the BB exits the barrel at say 350FPS. Remember if something is compressed the it exerts higher pressure on its surroundings Now if you was to disassemble the gun to the gearbox and take the PBB cylinder off you will notice that there is a small rubber air seal which fits between the cylinder and the PBB cylinder right? Mine was green like in this video: at about the 12:08 mark. This seal which behaves similar to the piston head O-Ring in that if not lubed up it begins to shrink and therefore does not form a good seal. Chances are that since owning this gun and even before that when it was sat with your retailer, this seal was lubed up at the factory and then since for the best part of probably a year was never lubed up and therefore the seal shrank and leaked a small amount of air giving you an acceptable FPS of 335. Then when you dis-assembled it cleaned the mechbox, installed new gears, greased stuff back up and put it back together again you either lubed up the seal or lubed the piston head with new lube (which makes its way to the PBB seal too) creating a tighter leak free seal.Because the PBB seal is now better and air does not leak then your FPS has jumped up by 20FPS. DON'T replace the stock spring with an M100 spring your FPS will suffer greatly probably going down to about 280 - 300 FPS, what you need to do instead is keep the original spring, using a pair of wire cutters snip off about 2 or 3 coils off the piston head side and bend it back flat, re install it back in the gun and test it, if its still too high snip the coils off one at a time till you reach what you want. My experience in this comes mostly from my G&G TR4-18 which i got from LWA, they stated the gun was firing 355FPS using ASG Blaster .20g BBs in a MadBull Chronograph, I used the exact same BBs in an Xcoretech X3200 chrono and that returned 370FPS, my local airsoft shop confirmed the 370FPS. I dis assembled the gun, put a M100 spring in and suddenly the gun was shooting 280 - 300 FPS, so instead i cut a few coils off the stock spring, installed that and now my TR4-18 and MP5 both fire between 338FPS to 345FPS. So in the end my advice to you: Ensure that the PBB seal is lubed (silicone oil should do fine) Use the stock spring Cut a few coils off the spring on the piston end I hope this all helps.

My ghetto BB catcher for Chronographing Guns. From left to right: Box old white t-shirt Makita Drill case (used to elevate chronograph, doesnt have to be a drill case, could be anything really) Chronograph set up like this: If you can see it, i place a tape measurer at the back to hold the t-shirt down at the back, tuck the t-shirt under the box to hold it in place. T- shirt can withstand multiple BB shots

Its not an issue at all and in fact brings about a good discussion regarding your circumstances. Try and contact him and as Chock and myself say keep records that you have tried, it will be in your favour. End of the day i know that this is not about money, its more the fact that you dont want this stuff in your house but it may still belong to him I hope end of the day you can reach a conclusion / resolution regarding this

The funny thing is when i went to the shop last year i half expected that dude to be there working or at least serving customers because when you watch videos from other Airsoft shops (proper ones) its the actual staff that review it. I dont think he works there or if he does its only as their PR employee read writing fake only excellent reviews and making youtube videos for mostly crappy guns. Every Airsoft shop i have been to seem to hold them in dubious light. The main company holder of JBBG is Trimex and is owned by what i believe to be a Sikh Family: http://www.endole.co.uk/company/04501515/trimex-uk-limited When i went there i was served by a Sikh bloke, he was nice enough and very helpful but everything other than the G&G stuff sucked. Since getting i have now discovered far better Airsoft shops but not to tail off the subject: P799A M3 SHOTGUN http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/517/2-TONE-BB-GUNS/339/PUMP-SHOTGUNS/60/P799A-M3-SHOTGUN mr poopoo my mates got this gun but when i fired it the pump broke but his dad fixed it with a bit of superglue.Overall a great gun! So it fell apart, had to be repaired but its great ???

Funny i came across this: M901C AK47 AEG http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/517/2-TONE-BB-GUNS/338/ELECTRIC-GUNS/372/M901C-AK47-AEG And it has this exact review: LiamWebb This Gun Is By FAR Skirmish entry level it is so accurate and hurts like hell i use this for everything. Scaring off rats. Shooting my friends ass's and airsofting. Whoever is considering buying this gun you should it is Very Accurate Very Powerful Very Reliable and makes a cool sound when it fires! Possible copy and past by the owners of the site with a hope no one notices???

D99 AEG M16 http://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/517/2-TONE-BB-GUNS/338/ELECTRIC-GUNS/3014/D99-AEG-M16 ralphjack2014 when battery is charging the bb gun, can you still fire it?

Hi Chellew22 Allow me to be a bit of a Policeman here (as in seeing it from the eyes of the law) This will be a bit of an essay (so i provided a TL:DR version just below with long bit below that) in order to address as many points as possible in one go. TL:DR version: The gun is the real cookie item and would net you around £150 to £200 depending on brand and condition as I know of someone asking for an M249 SAW on these here forums http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/24024-m249-para/ Most importantly find out a way to contact him by any means even via a third party (like a friend of his) to see if he wants his stuff, he could pop up anytime asking for it and when he found out you sold it can make a malicious allegation against you (YES PEOPLE DO THAT) to the police. LONG VERSION From what i understand the following points is that: · You purchased some or all the items for your ex as a gift · That subsequently after your break up he has left these items at your home · That it has been about 2 years that you have split · That you are no longer able to contact him (does this means both directly and indirectly) · That you intend to rid yourself of said items by way of sale Firstly i can see a number of issues cropping up from this since the break up of a couple (even if its an amicable one) can turn sour very quickly over property and money etc. The S1 Theft Act 1968 states that a person is guilty of the offence if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intent to permanently deprive the other of it. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/60 Lets break this down first. Dishonestly: Basically not being truthful of ownership Appropriates: takes, makes their own, Property: this can be anything including Airsoft stuff Belonging to another: says exactly what it means on the tin Intent to: The Mens Rea of the offence (the intention) Permanently Deprive the Other of It: This means to keep or own the item, to sell, eat or destroy it So in your case: Dishonestly: Not saying you are or are not but please i implore you to find his consent (trust me it will clear things up later) Appropriates: Yes you have taken charge of the items are they are in your control, control is not the same as ownership an example would be say someone lent you a DVD movie? you are in control of it but you do not own it Property: Yes there is property namely the airsoft stuff Belonging to another: This is the arguable bit Intent to: Well you intend to sell it right? Permanently Deprive the Other of It: Well someone will be permanently deprived of it if and when you sell it, the arguable bit is who will be you or your ex? Firstly we need to establish who owns what, do you own all the items, did you buy everything for him or bits of it, anything he bought using his own money say for example the helmet is technically his and therefore the sale of it would constitute as theft. However if you have given him certain things like the gun which i believe you stated you bought for him as a gift, even with a receipt that you purchased it, if you have given the gun to him as a gift then you have (in the eyes of the law) transferred ownership of the gun from you to him as you forfeited your ownership of it, he is technically the owner of the gun and therefore selling it would constitute as theft. Imagine the scenario (and i have seen this played out in real life many a times between ex's over things as trivial as some clothes or DVDs or Mucis CDs and even a Library Card): One day out of the blue he rocks up, knocks on your door and asks for all his airsoft stuff, you said you sold it, he gets the hump and because all the stuff was gifted to him he believes he still has ownership of it and calls the police, he gives his allegation to them that you sold his airsoft stuff without his consent and is willing to proceed with the allegation, as its a Domestic Incident (as you were both in an intimate relationship at one point regardless of how long has passed) they have to (as per ACPO guidance in the case where there is an offence in a domestic related incident officers MUST take a positive action policy and 9 out of 10 times) arrest you (which will mean you get a PNCID Number if you haven't already got one (don't take the last statement badly, i don't know you so don't know if you have one or not) in order for the offence to be properly investigated by way of taped recorded interview, this could lead to depending what you say during interview No Further Action or a Caution or Charged to appear at a Magistrates Court and if they find it in his favour will convict you and you will end up with a Criminal Record (unless you already have one then it will be added to it (again i don't know you so don't know if you have one or not). Even if you are no further action'ed he may still take you to a civil claims court in order to recuperate the monetary value of the items sold. In reality the officers would most likely use some discretion and say to him "If you left her so long ago, why only now do you want the stuff back?" and if they learn about the gifting of it would likely point him in the direction of a civil claims court and then would he be bothered to do that, likelihood is NO. Please don't take this whole statement as literal but you can see how nasty it can get, some people can be vindictive F**KS when they want to and can ruin your life just because they can for shits and giggles. Its seems to me from your first statement "My ex boyfriend, long gone, long story lol", that you have had a bad split or at the very least not an amicable one so it would weigh on the side that he would likely be an arse about it if you sold the stuff just to annoy you. The best way of going about this is to contact him directly by phone, facebook (remember you can message people who are not friended to you), whatsapp or if that's not possible indirectly via mutual friends or friends of friends etc, you are likely to have three outcomes from here: A: You get in contact him somehow or other, asks if he wants the stuff back, he says YES, he comes round at an agreed time and date, have mutual friends between you or better yet call the local police to ask if an officer can attend to witness the exchange of property and prevent a Breach of the Peace (this might not always happen or be available) but do let the officer know upon his/her arrival what the items are so that they dont get the shock of their life when they see an LMG being exchanged. You exchange property without incident JOB DONE. B: You get in contact him somehow or other, asks if he wants the stuff back, he says NO, if you have a phone call recording, Facebook messenger log etc of him saying NO, Save it and keep it, sell the stuff on this here good forum and be done with it. If he crops up weeks later asking for the stuff you have a phone call recording or face book log showing that he gave you permission to sell it as he relinquished ownership of it, tough luck to him JOB DONE. C: You have made every effort to contact him be it by phone, letter, email, facebook messenger etc or find him via mutual friends, going to his house, speaking to his parents and still cannot get in contact with him, keeping a log of your progress in order to contact him to ask about this stuff you sell it under the defence that you believe he has relinquished his ownership of said items, should he pop up a few weeks later you have proof you made every effort to find him, JOB DONE. Chances are that putting it on a public forum such as this which he may be a member of and see might spark his interest in wanting it back so be prepared to hear from him again regarding this. Finally should you have done all the above and come to the conclusion to sell it then you must ensure that whomever you sell the gun to must have a legal defence to buy the gun such as a UKARA registered airsofter or other defence See the Law section in this forum for more guidence. Finally don't take what i have said above as Gospel as depending where you live in the UK your local Police force may have its own different policies regarding the above and there are probably another hundred factors which you may have missed out that i don't know about and i have only described one out of many worse case scenarios to you from real life experiences. Take my advice or not, up to you really

For all the hate i did buy my first Airsoft gun from them. But it was a quality one namely a G&G M14 EBR short barrel. All the other stuff they had in the shop when i visited it in person was utter tat, flimsy plastic sniper rifles etc. Worse still while i was there i saw them sell a bb pistol (albeit a cheap low FPS, two tone, spring knock off worth about £20) to a 13 year old traveller boy who brought along his big sister (she looked barely over 16) as adult purchase.

Hey Adam I made your video about the WE Airsoft SCAR L, see here for it:

Hi I haven't had the chance to compare the two. My mate had this one but in black: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/aeg/we/we-scar-l-aeg-tan.html#.VKc_WCusWuQ Which he bought from here: www.Airsoftarmoury.co.uk in person All i can say was that the WE SCAR my mate had was of pretty good quality with full metal upper receiver, ABS plastic lower receiver and ABS plastic stock. The upper is of a very high quality build with very solid feel to it, it hasn't got trades, has a cocking handle which when locked back reveals the hop up adjustment, it has RIS rails on the sides and a monolithic one on top, if i recall the rails were made of solid metal. The lower was made of a high quality and feel ABS plastic which in my experience feels similar to G&G ABS plastic (all my AEGs are from G&G) and the selector lever has a positive click when rotated thanks to a spring loaded BB hidden inside it (similar to most weapons). The stock is made from the same ABS plastic and swings round to the right of the weapon (round ejection side), the slide is extendible and also has a general solid feel to it. Batteries go in the folding stock by removing the butt plate with plenty of space inside for large-ish batteries, connection is via mini Tamiya. The Barrel is NOT a tightbore (and i can't remember the lenght) but it is a brass barrel if i recall, hop up unit is made of plastic and has a black no name brand hop up rubber and bucking. Mechbox is a standard V2 gearbox, it appeared to me to be well shimmed and had been through QC as there was a QC sticker on it (no idea what the QC involved), wiring was pretty standard the brittle feeling 18AWG wire, it is rear wired as expected. Motor was a no name brand motor in the handle (like any standard M4 motor) it is also a long shaft motor. ROF and FPS were pretty low stock though, i am guessing his was a bit of a dud as the shop we got it from was pretty pants selling pretty much crappy gear, it was dusty, messy, unorganized, old BBs lying on the floor everywhere, stuff said to be in stock on the website was not etc etc and yes he dropped £450 in that shop on that day for everything gun, BBs, battery etc. Stock ROF: around 16 rounds per second (RPS) Stock FPS: around 280 Feet per second (FPS) Pants isn't it! I was guessing a combination of poor compression sealing, standard bore barrel, bad hop up and crappy motor When gave it to me to tech I suggested to him the following: Tightbore Better hop up and bucking M110 spring Better motor Being tight on cash he went for all the above except the motor, in the end his RPS was around 15 (due to stiffer spring) but his FPS went from 280FPS to about 345FPS (with some hop adjustment), he has since asked me to put a better motor in it so i will be getting him a high speed one and changing the tamiya to Deans. My only gripes with this gun were the following from worst to least concern, these are problems that cannot be remedied using after market parts to upgrade or change things on this gun: When the stock is folded the wires from the tamiya connector (ie battery) going to the mechbox are visible and exposed, they could snag, split or break as they are cheap no name 18AWG wires. The butt plate is held in place with one pin, for some reason my mates one keeps falling out by itself causing the butt plate to fall off, we had to tape it down at a recent skirmish to ensure he didn't lose it. I am guessing that his particular gun was a display model that got fiddled with a bit and some one had lost the retention clip. The stock is very (read very) difficult to extend or make it shorter, you have to depress a button or lever and move it but its very awkward to do. The cocking handle when released feels weak and soft, unlike a real gun where is a short sharp CLICK noise, this gun sounds very poncy, that is because the spring that does this is a low compression spring. I was however able to up this using a mechbox spring and made it feel manly again but the spring kept dropping slightly as it was not centred and getting in the way of the cocking handle so had to remove it. Hope this helps you make a more educated decision, my mate is giving me his gun again on Monday to put his motor in (yes i know its easy he could do it himself but he's scared he will break it) so i might be able to upload you a quick review of it some time next week.

A mate of mine has a WE SCAR AEG, the gun is fully metal and has solid internals though the motor used is a bit pants. Really easy to strip in order to get to the gearbox. Its a decent AEG and i can't really fault it.

Sorry if this is late (2 months later lol) coming but only just read your thread about an hour ago. I know exactly what your problem is, what causes it and how to fix it. For you i have made an entire Youtube video just for you

Because i was short sighted and pretty bad too as i couldn't read normal sized text such as a newspaper further than a foot way from my face i had to wear glasses, this meant that i could not play any contact sports like football and such as my glasses would get damaged. This also meant that the first few times i went paintballing with friends was an issue as not only would the crappy rental paintball goggles fog up but so would my glasses (double fog, yay), and almost every year i would have to buy a new pair of glasses as i would break, scratch or bend the frames so would stump up at least another £100 for a new set. So i said enough is enough and in Jan 2012 got laser eye surgery instead and WOW! no longer needing the glasses when i got into Airsoft my choice of goggles was no longer limited to can i fit my glasses under this or does it fit prescription lenses. Admittedly Laser eye surgery costs a lot and depending on your eye condition they may or may not be able to do it but i recommend its well worth a look for the long run.

Don't worry about it mate. As other have said before UKARA is one a registration for retailers to ID people who play airsoft, you don not need one to own an airsoft gun or any sort. I bought my first airsoft RIF weapon before having UKARA using another legal defence (won't work in every shop but hey). End of the day its what you do with it is what counts, walking down the high street in your hand is likely to get you arrested, but having the legal defence of going to or from an insured airsoft event is fine

I work in law and can tell you this is the case, 9/10 burglars want to break in undetected, take the stuff and leave without being caught. If they suspect anyone is coming in or has woken up they will always run rather than face a confrontation as 1) they can be identified (by picture or ID parade) , 2) a home owner is likly to be the living S**T out of them, 3) any tussle between them and the home-owner is likely to leave forensic (DNA or hair etc) traces on the home-owner which can be retrieved and analysed and finally 4) a lot of them are cowards and drug addled weaklings trying to fund a habit so would rather avoid the bother of confrontation. The 1/10 burglars are the ones entering the property with the explicit intent of harming you especially if you get up to nefarious activities and have rubbed someone up the wrong way, you don't necessarily have to steal in order to burgle, being a trespasser and causing GBH or Criminal Damage still counts as a burglary. Either way a burglar entering a home and stealing stuff is just a burglary but actually harming the home owner is aggravated which could add an additional 10 years to the sentence (if the courts were harsh (not that they ever are)).

Hi all, thanks for the responses. I have completely removed the fuse from my G&G MP5 and have the GATE MERF 3.2 installed instead. I feel that with this MOSFET which advertises: Short-circuit protection Thermal protection and; An Electronic Fuse As part of its feature list then the original manufacture installed Fuse is a bit obsolete.
