How am I changing my mind? I stated that rhops can give good results but still think that others are as good and the firefly is better. Erhop in a sniper firing heavyweight bbs is a benefit because of the extra lift. Most airsoft players use 0.25g to 0.3g bbs and a standard bucking provides plenty of lift and spin. A firefly bucking with the two ramp flaps that push on the two top corners help centralise and guide the bb and create enough spin to create a very stable flight (or at least as stable as a little plastic ball can be) that I found to be better than rhop. Snake oil refers to the fact that people talk about rhop like its a miracle cure all and it isnt. Nice derailed train pic ☺

Playing with toys guns is for kids. The issue should be, should all us old farts grow up and leave you to it.

When your Ukara form is filled out post it to Firesupport and stick a note in asking for it to be put on the system straight away and to please let you know when they have as you wish to place an order. As regards to upgrades leave it alone until something actually breaks.

A bloody xmas tree, pine needles everywhere. Can Jehovahs witnesses play airsoft?

I know how they work I have fitted a few and still have one fitted to my orga barrel. But still disagree that they are anything special, yes results are good but no better than other good bucking nub combos. Its certainly nowhere near the hop miracle that people claim.All the great results that people claim I am positive are the placebo effect. Whenever I have tried different combos I have always locked them down in a vice in an indoor environment, so no human element and no wind to affect results. I aso use a small bore mic when fitting an rhop so they are micron perfect. At some point going to have to get a few different types of guns and film everything, do a proper experiment. You can bring your guns along if you like and use them for it. As for physics too many variables for it to be more than a guideline. Until its its proven emphatically lets just agree to disagree.☺

Er hops can provide a benefit for lifting heavier weights on that I agree. Air seal shouldnt be an issue with any bucking, I always use ptfe tape to seal all buckings. Sorry but as regards accuracy and distance I think its massively over rated. The firefly bucking with a flat nub is easily as good for accuracy if not better. You definitely get less flyers to the sides than you do with any other hop set up.

Rhop is snake oil airsoft myth crap.Normal flat hop works just as well and firefly or other w-hold style bucking works better. Tightbore barrel is almost as bad tried practically every type going and only barrels I would use now are Pdi 6.05 (when its been lapped), Pdi 6.08 or best of the lot orga 6.23. As for projects; Get a back up gun that lasts more than a couple of months. Go to doctors to find out why I cant bend or straighten my arm properly, then maybe I can hold my gun again without crying like a little girl.

Agree with all your points above but still more interested in why he cant just say g36 and how exactly hes planning on buying that pistol.

Couple of things, how you planning on buying your custom pistol?You said on another thread you have never skirmished so you obviously dont have a defence. Unless you are planning on getting it two toned you need to play a few games and get a site membership/Ukara registration to buy a rif. Whats a G-Sanjuu-Roku? I know what san juu roku is but never heard that term.

I hope it works for them and believe that any training tool that can help soldiers in a combat situation is a great idea.But still think practicing your manoeuvres for a weekend playing toy soldiers is sad. Milsim is a great idea in that its more objective based and you do play as more of a team. I love the idea of playing a more structured game that requires a bit more thought but there is a point it starts to get a bit too living the fantasy. I sometimes wonder if milsimers realise how off putting milsims can look to a lot of airsofters. At the point it becomes too serious I think some of the fun disappears and fun is what airsoft is all about. Milsim is starting to take on a bit of a games workshop type of air in the fact that a lot of skirmish players like the idea but are a bit put off by the nerdish feel of it. I honestly think milsim type games are what airsoft should aim to be and one day will hopefully become more popular than your average skirmish day. Its the logical evolution of the hobby. But if it doesnt lose some of its pretentious geeky air then it will always be a niche pastime. Walk down your average high street and everybody knows what paintball is but when you mention airsoft its a different story. Before anybody jumps down my throat I know not all milsim players are the worst sort of geeks. I also know that there are different levels of milsim. Problem its human nature to focus on the worst aspects of everything and things like this thread to your average person look in the same league as grown men who collect toy figures. If airsofters learnt to soften their inner nerd then we would attract more people which can only be good for all aspects of airsoft.

😂

The OP states in his post he already has all the gear but he bought a jbbg special and now wants something better.I dont think I personally would ever say any amount of money is too much for a first gun. He gave a £400 budget and was given a £400 budget answer like he requested. I totally understand your point of view and dont necessarily disagree but prefer just to give the OP the answer he asked for. But as I always say every answer on here is just someones opinion not airsoft gospel.

Actually the private games are better sometimes. You can move around more and there is less idiot camping on the concourse or balcony.Games flow better its a friendlier more personal atmosphere. As for a lot of wandering around, no actually the games are more intense with people going for the objectives not just hanging around try to shoot random passers by. At the end of the day 20 people who really want to play can cause more carnage than a 100 who want to hide in corners. I played it with 10 once and it was probably the best game I have ever had there. Edit; Cost of both games with hotel is £110. Thats cheaper than most nights out.

Bushings are only part of the story though. Tms are a weird one to be honest the newer stuff is better but some of the older stuff you do wonder how it works so well. To be honest I would probably pick the krytac or ics over the Tm but being he wanted a cqb M4 had to chuck it in.G&G l85 isnt a combat masheep I actually quite like them. Would probably still buy the ICS l85 over it though if I was after one. Not all G&Gs are bad but still stick by the fact of if I was going to spend £400 I wouldn't even consider one.

No a nerf gun a bright blue and orange one that really fires bbs that would be the best airsoft gun ever.

Thank god for that at least somethings gone right today.I am struggling to not kill myself with boredom as is. Let me do it for you. I am sittingduck and G&G is the bestest I have bought lots of them but still haven't found the one that makes me really happy so will keep looking. ☺ Is that about it?

Actually its not when compared to the guns I pointed out. With a £400 budget you can get a lot better. Let me explain; I never base my opinions on bias just on engineering knowledge. G&G internals are made from some of the worst quality materials in the airsoft world. They are great if you have a low budget but the op says he has £400. Yes they are easy to upgrade but I would rather recommend something you dont need to. As for reliable I know an Ics plastic gun that has never had any maintenance (not even cleaned the barrel) in the 3yrs the person has had it and hes fired over a 75,000 rnds he reckons. It rattles 22rnds a second and shoots very well. Think you can buy them for about £180.

Regarding Ukara registration your local site should be able to help you with that. If you have played 3 times in the last year there even though you are not 18 they can fill out your Ukara form soon as you turn 18. As for what gun with £400 there is plenty of choice, you might not get all the accessories your after straight away but it is worth getting a better base gun. Look at the Krytac range of M4s very good guns with ambidextrous fire selector. Some of the Ics Cxp range also have ambi fire selector and mag releases, they are also well built and reliable. Also worth mentioning for cqb is the TM high cycle m4s, good quality and great for cqb. You could save cash and get a g&g cm but its not as good and also very common. At the end of the day its your money spend as much or as little as you like and remember the gun thats best is the one that makes you smile most.

They are very well made and definitely the most realistic. But for £900 you can build an aeg or gas gun that performs better.Its more suited to serious milsimers. Or more commonly pretentious pratts. They are very nice though.

Lets start getting the names in for Sunday.

Maybe you should try playing snooker with a putter you could use a chipping wedge for when your snookered. Would do wonders for your short game.

They are good cheap starter guns but then so are some JG's and cyma's.

Each to their own I suppose.Will say though I used to play golf and while I enjoy airsoft more golf takes a hell of a lot of skill.

Not really you get what you pay for. The quality of the materials on their internals is poor.

Best all round aegs TM, Real sword and Krytac. Ics very good internals but externals are a bit marmite. G&P good externals but internals are average at best. G&G are ok, good value for money but not a single thing that makes them stand out. In my opinion anyway but everybody sees things differently.
