An AUG as a secondary, what kinda cannon you got for your primary hehe? I have an ICS 3 point sling, very good quality, done the job perfectly

There's a surprising lack of non-real-steel airsoft guns out there, kudos for making your own! Post pics when you've made some progress be awesome to see it I'm trying to make a star trek phaser rifle, I'd assumed i'd be able to find a toy i could convert but nothing out there, closest is solid resin casts of movie props.

Hehe worse than SRC is indeed a bit harsh, perhaps 'equally crepe' is kinder, they're all in the same £100 budget league that we all usually point people to ICS or G&G to get the best of. We'll get sponsorship one day, was also another post that i promoted TM HC in, my excuse is he brought it up To the OP - As for them being submachine guns, you've picked ones that have full sized internals and they'll perform just as good as any rifle sized AEG, only diff is the barrels shorter. Stuff like MP7, UMP have smaller more bespoke internals and not quite same performance, more like super-pistols. That ICS is quite good, for any ICS i'd get it from FireSupport as they've def got the best range of ICS, pretty much everything they ever made, including all the latest ranges that are a cut above

He said he wanted a decent quality gun, not 3 more guns worse than his G36 That TM P90 looks like that comes with a low cap but TM do 300rd hi-caps, have 3 myself. Out of everything you're looking at, I'd go for the High-Cycle AUG. I've got 2 TM HC and they kick ass. If you want the P90, again get the TM HC version, have it myself.

as for sniper, most stock ones will be frustrating if there's any wind or a passing squirrel farts if making a DMR fitting of the name was a tough tinkering job, then doing it to a sniper is twice the work/cost unfortunately most airsoft guns are very close to the limits of what range/accuracy you can get from firing a 6mm plastic ball, so pushing beyond takes alot of tinkering / fine-tuning. no simple solution unfortunately

http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/43-longrange-aegs/892-holy-grail-building-your-dmr-aeg.html Gearbox upgrades affect ROF & RPS so this only leaves you the barrel and hop-up. The hop-up unit is widely considered the main factor in range/accuracy, and well made steel barrel the icing on the cake. I've not looked into hop-ups for a while so wont suggest anything specific, hopefully some better tinkerers will jump in with up-to-date suggestions

Any metal ICS or G&G gun will fit your needs well, and not cost too much (£150-£250)

There's little options for ready built 'dmr', and stuff like the one you linked won't be worth it. Unfortunately lots and lots of tinkering is the only way to get an airsoft gun even vaguely worthy of being called a 'dmr' The main advice would be don't bother with the idea until you've gained enough experience tinkering/upgrading AEG at standard FPS to know exactly what needs to be done to an AEG to make it one. If you're really keen to be hiding behind the back row of trees with the 'pros' then do what every wally does and buy every-single bit of available aftermarket/upgrade kit for a gun, slap it in with a harder spring and big scope and wonder why the only noticeable difference is the £1k hole in your wallet

I'd be more concerned about the hazardous materials rubbing off from average soldiers desert-heat-sweaty-hairy-ass onto the inside of the kit than any external exposure to DE/hot rounds etc

If there isn't a couple screws in the pump then it's glued together, would expect it to split into 2 halves. Lots of these cheap crepe bb guns are glued in places where on the original guns they're cloned off are screwed or bolted.

Perhaps Oceania will be better to live in than Eurasia TTIP is another good indicator we don't live in true democracy, its more like corporate feudalism. It's even more so in America, hence why this treaty is necessary to make better bedfellows of them. I've always considered our 'democracy' like electing the manager of your local McDonalds. Their management might make the price of a burger go up or down, the service might get better or worse, but the burger still tastes the same and the profit still goes to some invisible bastard(s). McNHS is inevitable, we've already let the US giant pharmaceutical companies in and they're just bleeding the NHS, which we keep on having to top-up to stop it dying. The only way for it to survive would be if the drugs/treatments were being developed by the NHS, not bought by them. A good example of the value of this industry is my local Morrison supermarket; it looses money as a supermarket due to much larger and better local competition and only keeps open due to the extreme profits made by the pharmacy, as people don't shop around for drugs, they just go to nearest place, and this Morrison is well positioned in an affluent area full of pandered middle-class and rotting pensioners. We need new industries and influx of cash to keep our place near the top of the pyramid scheme, this deal will help do that. The main concern for me is the timing of the deal, we've been very kind to corporations to try and encourage growth/deals and their current 'rate' is very favorable to them. TTIP will mean corporations can sue us if we change law resulting in direct loss of profit, so we'll be stuck with what was intended to the government equivalent of a introductory offer. Like if you sign up for Sky TV for only £10 for the first six months (rising to £50 after) and then you get the ability to sue Sky when they try to raise it to £50 after that six months.

Welcome, stumbled across your website in the past and like what you got there, especially as you're one the few willing to logically dissect the dif between real-life combat and airsoft, without dismissing people as Walting fools or un-trained kids.

Your worse case scenario is being stung for about £10-20 by Parcel Force or whatever courier company takes over shipment when it gets to UK. Depends if it's considered an airsoft part or not by customs. I'm assuming your putting a long suppressor on an M4 so you can fit a longer inner barrel in it?

Soaking definitely does the job, if it was metal i'd suggest getting a bottle of meth spirits and soaking it in that overnight, then whole thing will peel off like a snake shedding a layer. Krylon's usually a bitch on plastics due to it bonding well enough to not need primer, if what you bought already kinda does the job and find nothing else a good soak for couple hours should do the trick. Might not leave it overnight though as I can remember as a kid games-workshop plastic models warping when left to soak too long.

Command said the cardboard box was a free-fire zone, no-one had checked to see if there was innocent insects living there or not... the horror...

By those standards I'd say using RIF and camo clothing is disrespectful to reality, but i get the point, even if it sets off my sense of semantics I usually call it 'hit' or 'got' too as I've yet to impart death in airsoft, although I did shoot a beetle in half accidentally once...

If you got time to count you're not playing hard-enough! I get the enjoyment out of the experience/adrenaline rather than related statistics, although I might count a couple games when i finally bring a go-pro along so i can put a duke nukem ui over the footage My K/D ratio is definitely good due to playing solo, most people play in groups so if I get the jump on them I'm getting several kills all to myself, vice-versa that's only one loss. I'm more about the combat than game objectives, if i started counting kills and caring about the figure I'd probably just end up abandoning objectives all together and as close to spawn camping as possible. Happier in ignorance and confident enough in kicking ass to not need the validation

So it's basically CQB but people only get 1 'life'? I could see UK CQB sites running regular events of it. I'd definitely give it a go as it seems to match my CQB style perfectly (sprinting round with bare essentials of kit). However I'd still do normal CQB too as I enjoy the advantage vs the usual over-dressed/fed slow moving types.

Pardon my ignorance but surely; When you pull the trigger, it releases current to the motor, a short burst on semi. On full auto it opens the taps and keeps them open until you release the trigger. If you're pulling the trigger rapidly enough then the gap between juice being allowed through will be short, perhaps short enough to make it as fast as full auto. However surely continual current has to be faster, as fast as the motor and gears will turn? After a few seconds of full-auto the rof drops due to amount of power getting through dropping, but that can't be an issue with 11v? Is it a case of too much juice going through so the gun cycles better with you putting a a gap in the current? 6000bbs is damn impressive, must not have moved from that tree outside your spawn for the whole day hehe. I've got high-cycle guns and the most I've managed to spam is about 2k. Not looking down on it or anything, is genuinely impressive dedication to full-auto I would agree with the majority that the cheapest option is to use 20% of the shots and move around more.

i'll probably be there this thursday

Welcome back! TM is still popular/best, the posh guys now have the recoil TM's, people are starting to get into HPA rigs and every M4 in the land now has Magpul furniture. Other than that it's probably very much the same as when you left, just more on the market. Oh and Absolute Airsoft is now widely snubbed, mostly due to the guy running the shop (Special Airsoft Supplies) being a total fake-stock-listing scammer, and them letting the regulars use whatever the fuck fps they like

Well he made a start, i guess the tricky bit was sticking it all together hehe

that's a pile of gun bits, not attached

The Horror... (been saving the movie quote for a post that deserved it) You'd been better off playing WW1 style and having him just hold your mags until you got shot and then pick up your gun

Very very unlikely to be a 6.23 as that's proper wide-bore, which seems now to be mostly argued as only having benefit when using gas/hpa etc. everyone with a sniper rifle will want a tight-bore in there so would be a poor decision on CYMA's behalf, unless they assumed they were all going to be chucked away anyways and was cheaper to make or something 6.08 is the general standard size of brass barrel put into most guns regardless of manufacturer, if not this then the alternate size is usually listed as a selling point. A decent quality steel one will be better due to more consistency in the build quality & finishing, rather than any difference in bore. The whole idea of bore size and difference it makes in airsoft barrels is all a bit voodoo and entirely unproven either side of the argument (wide is best vs narrow is best). therefore the only thing you can be certain of is a well built and finished barrel of higher density metal will be 'better' than a brass one with a coating layer inside.
