  1. Airsoft sound hog amplifiers. Do they really make an aeg sound any better?  Looking for something to jazz up my ics mars sbr.

      @GemsHD - Love Peter's site for most parts really.

      The ZCI barrels are great for the money

      Personally i find them underwhelming unless its going on an over-gassed gun like an arp or firehawk that has a short barrel.

       

      If you just drop it on a longer barreled aeg its not gonna be that nice imo.

      They really sound good. Like, good as in pegging a piece of card against your bicycle spokes to get it sounding like a rea motorbike... grrrrr...

       

      If the video posted earlier is anything to go by....

  2. Both the ICS cxp ape and Mars sbr are now fitted with the trusty Prommie purple buckings. :)

  3. Well impressed with Skirmshop. Ordered wednesday night. Arrived today. 

  4. Heck of a week. Tears of the sun load out coming along. Getting fitter and upto running 3 miles. Nearly a stone in weight lost over last 2 weeks and finally. Asg blaster tour on Sunday. Carlsberg week. 

  5. Woohoo. Gear has started arriving courtesy of the postie. Woodland camo. boonie hat and Black hawk Harness so far.

  6. Pretty sure the ICS ape is cursed. Sticky trigger-fixed. 100fps drop-Fixed. Running around all morning using it -Fine. Last game before lunch, look at the stock. Rubber butt plate missing-Fail.

      Tell me about it brother, etu died in the m4 after a mag and a half, the f2000 fed- at 170fps, and the ak i'd bought that day wouldnt feed on full auto.

       

      M203 worked perfectly though :)

      Funny you should mention the ICS Ape - I've got one in bits for a team mate where the gearbox decided to eat the piston!

  7. Had a 100fps drop on my ICS ape. Hop rubber refitted, nozzle checked etc. All seems ok. Fingers crossed it's back to normal at chrono tomorrow.

      Do they paint the inside or the barrel or could that be corrosion?

    3. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      No inner barrel is black. So can only imagine it’s some sort of residue build up from bb’s brim previous owner

    4. Seany.exe

      It's more than likely just tiny bits of BB themselves if it's white

  8. Ever just find yourself wanting a whole new airsoft look and not having a clue what though

      Nope. If anything I have more ideas for loadout styles than anything else, just not the budget to realise them physically. What started out as an "urban biker" style for me has now progressed to where I look like akin to a Division agent, which I don't mind per se.

       

      I also have an Alien character COSplay all worked out, just need to get around to buying the final few bits. I like to have a lot of interchangable gear, flannel shirts and combats in all rainbow flavours plus I collect hats and caps like a hooker collects STD's at a truck stop.

       

      I think at some point I will get a clone JPC and belt but in another colour thanblack, just to give me variety of choice. Not a fan of olive or tan, maybe some kinda of desert flecktarn or summert...  maybe same as my hat in HDT which I really like.... forgive me I know nothign of camo.

    4. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      I would love a Stargate SG1 loadout. But getting the correct bits is so incredibly difficult or just insanely expensive.

  9. Well it looks like i willbe selling my soul to the multiglam UKSF look over the next few months/year. Poor bank balance will be poor

      I have grown to really like the Gorka suits, mainly because of DayZ I think. THey look to bne for cold/wet weather though, would I cook in a set of that?

  10. Hawaiin themed game day this sunday. Camo will not be worn!

      I can still go tactical if I choose - but look awesome

      With adders and ticks prevelant in woodland. Even in the grass skirt, there will be tan combats underneath lol.

  11. Gonna be ahot day for airsoft tomorrow. Time for a therapy day at Combat Action Games,  to deal with a year old demon.

      Make sure you stay hydrated and slap some lotion on your bald spots!

      Hydration bladder on the back of my plate carrier and about the only bit of skin on show is my lower face that likes getting shot at apparently.

  12. 42 today. Ugh. Nevermind. Get to be a big kid, dress up and play war on sunday. Bring it on!

      Lol, you youngsters have a while to go to catch me up 😃

       

      Felt my age for a couple days after last Sunday's skirmish, now wishing I had booked another for Sunday, didn't think I could cope with 2 in a row, so made other plans.

      @ghostwalker @sonofsammo you crazy kids! I'll be 48 end of the month, played with a guy at Ironsight last weekend that was 64!

       

      Happy birthday by the way @ghostwalker!

      Thanks guys. I would play everyday if there was a site running everyday oh and i could actually afford to lol.

  13. Every other sunday sucks. No airsoft and a day spent wanting to shoot people. Not good lol

      If your interested in shooting real guns and live near a place why not give clay pigeon shooting a go. I went to one a few weeks ago it was a load of fun shotguns when shouldered feel so nice to shoot. Its not too bad for the money either but its only like a hour long activity or less.

    4. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      Theres an air rifle shooting club nearby. Thought about trying it but then i remembered. They shoot weekday evenings when i am at work 'le sigh'. Nevermind  Just means i need to shoot more fools on sunday at airsoft...or get shot by...

  14. Think someone is trying to hint about full face pro. 3 years never a bad head hit. Last 2 weeks, split chin and a hit just below/beside my left eye that left a massive lump and cut.

      I just can't make up my mind what to do. Normally wear ballistic glasses but with anything other than a cap they steam up badly.

      I’ve tried sawflies and they fog as soon as I put them on, currently wearing locust fan goggles but nothing is perfect and everyone will have differing experiences 

    4. proffrink

      proffrink

      I too use Revision Locust goggles and they're the best I've had (but not perfect). Applying antifog at the start of the day and half way through helps. Lots on the forums already about this if you want to have a search.

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

    1. Duff

      Duff

      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. 

    2. ghostwalker

      ghostwalker

      £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

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

  17. 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? 

       

  18. 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

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

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

  21. 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. 

  22. 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. 

  23. 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. 

  24. 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)

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

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