I'd say more people complain about its looks rather than how it shoots, probably one of the best price effective pistols, honestly a pleasure to shoot with

@Terrywristt @EDcase @Impulse @AdrKraft cheers folks. I have jumped in and ordered the aap01c shinobi, a couple of mags along with a flamingo 50 bucking and the hadron Loki hop unit.

They shoot really well and will last if you stay in semi

You can carry a lot of plastic for the same weight as a few gas mags.

sadly @Rogerborg my mp5sd6 is far too heavy for that jobby lol. I did try but the tm one weighs more than my mtw does lol

AAP-01? It's cheap and eats glock magazines.

Tough choice because both are good on their own.

MTW Unleashed got released not long ago so no need for a line anymore. :) 

I already have the bottle and line as I have a inferno engine in my g3 dmr. 

I love recoil rifs. But just don't know if running a gbbr via an hpa adapter is going to cause more issues than its worth. 

With a decent hpa adapter you shouldn't have leak or misfeed issues. 

@Jacketcheers, thats one thing. Now a way to carry the darn thing as a 'side arm' rather than a primary.

Would an MP7 leg holster work or could be adapted?

@gavinkempsell im trying a knock off of the sas concealed holster that  goes on your side. Failing that i might try a thigh holster but fear the mp5 sd6 might be too long. I have been shown a kydex one but thats big bucks retailing around £170

Just to add my tuppence worth.

I suffer bad with fogging,so bad that I need fog lights front and rear,but this weekend at the nae,after a bad Saturday,I purchased a £50 pair of Bloc glasses.

Ran them on the Sunday and wow! No issues at all. I set up a challenge with the vendor that if they fogged I would be back for my money. Pleased to say that I never went back for a refund.

I have tried pretty much everything but these work for me 👍

Regards 

Will see how they work as I ordered some bloc lynx with the gasket on Friday. Also ordered some little magnetic wipes from etsy. If that all fails I will get an ex-fog unit as a final hope lol

Yeah mine are the Bloc Lynx but without foam.

Hope yours work for you🤞

Has he looked into eyepro that has inserts? It would be far cheaper than buying safety glasses direct from specsavers I would assume, and would also ensure full seal etc hopefully 😂

he did but is concerned that fogging could then become a double issue. He tried the spec savers glasses and they give you these flex side panels that make them almost full seal

I use a bolle otg (180 at the moment) and an exfog combo and it's quite good. I cut off some rubber from both sides to make it more "breathable".

Have you tried talking to VFC themselves? Ive ordered parts for my 417s direct from them before and the shipping costs were negligible enough that I dont even remember them.

Not yet. I ha e tried orderj g from wgc shop as someone linked to them with it only costing £16 including shipping so fingers crossed.

Absolutely! I used to work at a wind tunnel - we had a 1000bar compressor that blew a blanking plate off the top of the tunnel. 10" round, flat plate bolted on with a bajillion bolts and it just completely disappeared!

I used to work with cast fittings at silly pressures.  We once had a batch of ball valves with no balls in them.  Since they were small control valves no one noticed until the system was pressured up.  Some idiot had re-boxed Chinese knock off rubbish and sold them unchecked.  It happened a lot.  We always bought rupture discs and lifting gear from the manufacturers direct as a result.  As Rog says, 40% over spec and its really not funny!

Oh absolutely. I would prefer it goes before the 5k limit rather than after it. A small couple of pence disc popping is much more preferable than a large aluminium cylinder sending frag everywhere. On the plus side, new burst discs purchased and fitter and tank filled without any further drama.

@Lozart every picture i see has it with the lever on the left side of the receiver/mount. But it will only lock in place on mine if I put it on the right side. Nit really sure why asbits the tm mount on a tm receiver. 

Good point, well made. The lever is supposed to be on the left. Of course, airsoft QC and tolerances laugh in the face of how things are supposed to fit!

Fair point and especially on an antique like the tm g3 

in other news, the cyma SGR12 likes .30s 😁

imho Geoff's 36's. Never let me down. Longbow are a close second if I can't get Geoff's.

I like .4s or higher in a DMR, but in terms of brands I like Geoffs, BLS or Longbow, depending on what's in stock and for what weight.

stock not stick*

outdoors I mostly use a DMR, just remember you MED and a backup for when things get upclose 👍

I have a mk23 or tm fnx 45 for back up. Might eventually invest in a small smg or the likes 

I use an MP9 in a leg holster, the full auto is crazy and makes people think twice

I got one second hand in a like-new condition from the classified section on here. Only skirmished it the once so far. Its my first ever aeg so am only comparing it to diabolically bad rentals, to me it feels like a dream obviously. Externals are pretty nice. I've heard reliability is iffy but can't really speak on that as I've not had the thing long enough. Trigger response seems snappy, shoots accurately and has a couple of nice bits like a maple rubber as standard. For what I paid it feels like a killer piece of kit.

But then you go and look at someone who knows their shit, e.g Negative Airsoft on youtube, and he fucking hates them from what I've seen 🤷‍♂️

Edit: The one I have is a VFC Avalon Saber Carbine - it comes out of the box with a maple leaf rubber, tightbore barrel, basic mosfet and some nice externals. Its definitely not the best gun in town but I got it for like 270 quid or something so I really can't complain, especially with combat machines going for 200+ these days

It depends on which model you fancy. Some of them are shit and some of them are decent. Avalon series isn't bad at all. And then they made Sig AIR MPX/MCX which is a disgrace...

VFC defo stepped up their game regarding GBBR though. Almost everyone praises their HK 416A5 or the new SIG MPX.

I think the biggest problem with VFC is that it had very bad reputation regarding reliability and QC years ago and it difficult to change on that view especially when it's not popular in the UK compared to the States or Asia and your sample is gonna be always small because most of the people not gonna choose a VFC over a Marui/Cyma/G&G. So people keep parroting each other instead of trying one and see it for themselves. Other issue is that VFC is so freaking expensive compared to the rest.

My personal view is that it's very difficult to fuck up AEG's nowadays. Internally 99% of them is the gonna be the same....

I'm just trying to stop one's leaking thatvhad already had everything everyone recommends done in the past. New valves, new routers, even stripped down and out silicon sealant around the oring and sides to prevent the base leaks

I tried fixing mine too and they were gas tight for a game day before they sprung a leak again, plus one of my gas tight ones also sprung a leak so I just said "screw it" and gave up on them. Fortunately I have a bunch of STTI mags that have been gas tight for years, so I just swapped the feed lips and gas routers over because the STTI feed lips are wank

I'm hoping it's sorted for now but we shall see. Stripped them, cleaned every oring, re lubed all the ones on valves and then redid the sealant on the base plate and inside of the mag. They have geld gas for 12 hours so far

What weight @Rogerborg watch and headphones are stupidly lightweight. Everything else is either neccessarybsoni dont get arrested for indecent exposure or tonhel prevent injury (compression calf sleeves as I suffer with constant calf strains, running socks because blisters suck)

Unless you mean the about 2 stone of saggy baggage around my waist, in which case I really wish that would do one lol

Leaving the house always costs you, so does staying in...

Cheap hobby? There is no such thing... 💀

That's a long time. 

Have a great day 👍

Did you swear an oath to never reveal this tech's true identity?  Is it Batman?

Lol no. He can't be as I'm.....

Hang in no I can't say that.

I'm about to puy a long winded reply in the tech thread i posted 

Who was the tech’s involved 

Of the 3m 1 is faultless as he went out of his way to help but never received the rifle, Never had any contact from the 2nd and only know his name is simon.

The other and the original person i sent the rif to is John Boycie Turrell formerly Jtac Custom. 

Thanks for the information, hope you get it back as promised and can get it sorted.

I have had work done by Ian at Firesupport, he’s an excellent airsoft gunsmith, and a very nice guy.
