    Just ordered some The Draft Club .28bb's for the 1st time. Hoping they are as good as folks say

      What's the price per on those mate? I use .28 in my trishot and currently on Blaster Devils which are great but always open to other brands.

      £10.99 plus postage. But they have a reward points system in place that makes it a little sweeter

      TDC actually make really good Beebs.

      Used to use them exclusively before I moved onto mostly tracer rounds.

       

      .3s were fantastic

    Took the ICS Cxp Mars sbr out for its first game yesterday. OOoooh tis a nice bit o kit,

  3. ghostwalker
    In the last 7 days this lot. ICS Cxp Mars sbr with fet. ICS Ble Xae pistol. Warrior Assault Systems vest, quad mag pouch, dump pouch and medium utility pouch. Double rifle bag. 3300 nuprol rzr bb's. 2 vp 7.4 1300mag lipos (god help me my first ever lipos as the mars rifle doesn't like LiFE batteries). Gas for the above pistol. Holo sight (mounted on mars) Combat Action Games site patch. Not shown as i can't make use of them 6x Warrior Assault systems single bungee mag pouches, pts magpul moe vertical grip. I think the Bank manager and mrs will be destroying my bank card after that. Apparently i shouldn't be allowed a week off work after selling my cyclocross bike.

    Picked up a used warrior assault systems vest (much like the 5.11 lbe vest). Along with 6 brand new warrior open top m4 mag pouches.Also picked up a holosight and pts magpul foregrip. Sadly the foregrip is for a different mounting system to my keymod rail. nevermind. Not a bad bundle for £70 really

    @Skara I thought atacs fg was lighter greens in colour than that from looking at pics on the interwebs. Certainly looks a lot more Arid wildlands than i thought. I had been thinking about getting some Atacs fg to replace my current tan stuff for woodland games. But not so sure on it now. Me currently. Yeah i know. In the words of Arnie 'you (me) are one ugly mutherf*!$er'

    I dont have a gameday until next week but like any good airsofter i have had a play around. it's the triple s version so has the dual mosfet, electronic trigger and self diagnostic system. Programming the trigger is simple. Power up the gun and its set to single or automatic. Depress the trigger for 5 seconds and the gun will 'vibrate' indicating the switch from full auto to 3 round burst, The self diagnostic system is accessed by depressing the trigger and then plugging in the battery. The gun will then check through the electronic systems and mechanic systems for any faults. If any minor faults are detected it will still allow the gun to function but will give indications to what is wrong. If there is a major fault the system protects itself and wont let you cycle the gun. But you want to know about the gun itself. Its very light weight considering its almost entirely metal. Feels very comfortable and natural to shoulder and support. Has a bit more of an aggressive feel to it with the styling on the receiver etc. Trigger is fairly snappy on my 9.9v life batteries. Accuracy seems pretty good as a stock system. There is no wobble in anywhere noticeable. Nearly all features are ambidextrous and laid out for ease of use with the left side mag release slightly recessed to prevent you accidentally catching it and dropping the mag. Battery changes are easy. You just pull down the adjuster on the Butt stock and twist it 90 degrees. Then pull the butt stock off the tube leaving you with the length of the tube to place batteries.Most normal sized stock batteries will fit into the tube and ics seem to have thought this through. As they have included a small rubber button on the underside of the tube, It can be inserted into any of the adjustment points on the stock tube to prevent you potentially crushing wires when adjusting the stock (the button prevents the stock moving any further towards the reciver). The only negative is the lack of a bolt lock, meaning you have to use hold the bolt open whilst adjusting the hop up. Overall it seems a well thought out, well laid out platform.

    A new gun bag so i can carry a back up gun to a game and this... ICS CXP Mars sbr SSS. Now i just need to decide what sight, grip, covers and other fancy dangledoodies to add on and hang off it, Tempted by a paracord sling at the moment.
  8. ghostwalker

    So with a bolt recoil off the menu as they aren't supposed to be great.  Ics mars or a g&g tr model. Will admit the mars looks nicely different in a subtle way

    1. Georgeturner2001

      Georgeturner2001

      Are you after a recoil then? If so don't go with either the G and G or mars as that's just the simulated bolt bolt reciprocating back and forth, adds a nice sound but there's no 'recoil' there!

    2. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      Recoil would be good. But Tm are out of my price range and I'm also trying to support the local shop who don't stock Tm or kwa :(

    3. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      if your local shop don't stock the items you're after then they don't support you... why would you compromise on the product you want based upon a store's available stock?

    Whats folks opinions on the Bolt Recoils? Seems reviews are either very good or very bad,

      Can someone fill me in with what a bolt recoil is?

    3. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      @steakandpotato its another brand of recoil aeg, Cheaper and harder kicking than tokyo Marui, more readily available than the kwa erg series, But it seems to be a real mixed reactions platform. which begs the question of it being worth £320-4£400

  10. ghostwalker

    Has anyone tried the new ASG Storm grenades? Any good? Im looking for a suitable grenade for woodland play

  11. ghostwalker

    Have 'incentive designs' gone e way if the dodo? Can never seem to access their website anymore.

  12. ghostwalker
    A single reproduction ww2 stitch on para wing and toggle rope. Well it's a start to my ox and bucks 6th airborne ww2 impression I am building. Only another mortgage worth of kit to buy. But atleast the sten gun is cheap.
  13. ghostwalker

    So in my infinite wisdom. Instead of deciding to build a whole new atacs-fg loadout with new m4. I have gone for a ww2 6th airborne division look complete with sten gun. Now to start saving. 

  14. ghostwalker

    thinking about a new loadout. Would love to do something uksf but lack the finances for all the Crye and and high end stuff

      @CKinnerley has some good quality stuff for sale. Might be worth checking in to see if he has anything you may want.

      The key to building an impression kit isn't spending all your money at once. Live within your means and build it up carefully and you'll be so satisfied when it's done. Plus the big money pits, like the rig set ups, can be easily switched for replicas and still look great, TMC JPC/AVS/CPC etc are decent enough for airsoft and relatively cheap (compared to the Crye equivalents anyway). Same for the helmet, no need to spend £££s on a real opscore, just grab an FMA repro, and build off of that.

      I did look through @CKinnerley stuff @Gepard alas I believe I’m a little too..... rotund. 44’ chest and 38 waist lol. Working in a chip shop is bad for your health.

    Had this picture taken this past Sunday during a game. Shows off most of my ics cxp ape the way it should be shown. Delivering pews to those foolish enough to come in range.
  16. ghostwalker

    It's early on a Sunday morning and I'm up. Only means one thing. It's time to pew. Have a great day everyone. 

  17. ghostwalker

    That's a first. Bought some 9.9v 1000mah Life batteries and they arrived pretty much fully charged. Less prep for Sunday and fielding the ics ape for the first time.

      CHECK YOUR SETTINGS

       

      DO NOT CHARGE THEM AS LIPO's !!!!

       

      Lipo's charge up to 4.2v max charge

      LiFe's charge up to 3.8v max charge

      (I think but don't quote me)

       

      you can push half a volt charge onto them

      but LiPo's are 3.7v & LiFe's are 3.3v

      So they need different settings in ya IMAX B6

      or a B3 type with a proper LiFe output

       

      You probably know all this but just passing it on

      Don't damage your LiFe's - ergh is that suicide then ?

      Don't overcharge your LiFe batteries by charging them on LiPo settings

       

      Happy charging etc....

    3. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      Don't worry and cheers for the advice Sitting Duck. They were charged on life. Fortunately the charger has a idiot proof indicator aside from the switch. Lipos settings cause all led's to turn blue and life settings cause the led's to turn green when selected. 

    4. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      That is probably coz a used LiFe drops to 3v or less

      On a Lipo you get a cell failure if it goes too low

      Then you need to trickle charge the low LiPo

      When it gets back above say 3.2v or more then

      You should be able to charge the LiPo on the B6 again

       

      Too easy to plug it in to cheapo China B3 type chargers

      let it charge not knowing it will overcharge a LiFe !!!

      Some B3's have a LiFe setting or so but not all/most

       

      B6 is a bit of learning curve coz you edit the LiPo settings

      Or make up your custom one

      But I "think" it still needs to toggle Lipo to LiFe in settings

      (bit of a faff tbh)

       

      IMHO - I never found the LiFe THAT bigger difference

      compared to using a good 25c or 30c 7.4v LiPo

      maybe in stock guns but never noticed much on a tweaked gun

      Supposed to be the ideal stop gap between 7.4v & 11.1v

      Bought 9.9v for FireHawk - bloody tight fit in stock tube

      Then said sod it & chucked fixed stubby stock & cheap block 7.4v

      Somewhere I got a monster 4000mah or something for full stock

      Not that impressed so not bothered to buy again

      But it might work out OK for you in your gun

      Just watch your charge settings

      (and go deans if you can solder properly)

    This. Now ready for the weekend. Could have done with a sling but the budget wouldn’t go that far. Black ubacs, tan bottoms, gloves and airborne cap. Viper chest rig. Gun bag, amoeba diamond grade .28 bb’s, foregrip, ics cxp ape with 5 mags and red dot sight along with noveske suppresssor and socom suppressor. Not shown charger and 2 9.9v 1000mah life batteries.
  19. ghostwalker

    So. If you had £300 to buy a brand new airsoft gun. What would you go for? Suitable for outdoor woodland play.

      @Prisce It would certainly be the more fun option, never leave the safe zone without mine ;) 

       

      Often its the only thing I take!

      Prisce

      You and me both! I keep getting called a dirty b@5t@rd with mine... apparently something that quiet and deadly makes people upset.

    4. Hudson

      Hudson

      Probably another VZ58, get a second compact, but with the standard VZ mags instead of M16 mags this time; just for a change! :lol:

    Back to airsoft round 3. Time to start all over again. Sucked having to sell everything 

    1. Sako

      Sako

      Currently doing the same...painful having to shell out £££’s again 

  21. ghostwalker
    Thank you. They are the ares short midcaps. I liked the look of them over the normal length m4 midcaps
  22. ghostwalker

    Lessons of the weekend. My krytac is awesome sauce. All goggles go to heaven eventually. Valken bb's are crap. Old training never dies. 

  23. ghostwalker

    1st game day with my new krytac lvoa-s. Oh my god I'm in gun love. It's awesome. 

  24. ghostwalker
    Finished off the build of my newest toy today. Really happy with the way she looks. Just need to dial in the hop on Sunday and get to some bb slinging chaos.
  25. ghostwalker
    Added an ares short foregrip and UFC sight in cantilever mount tomthe krytac today. She's now complete and so is the nigh on £700 dent in my wallet for the last few days of airsoft excess
