Generally you can only get in trouble if you gun is firing above the FPS it had when it was tested at the start of an event day, this normally can only because 'someone' has tampered with it in the intervening time. Generally FPS is not recorded at test time beyond "that gun was below X". Some sites do however have limits dead on 328 or 340, it is not always 350 for an automatic gun. If you avoided the chronograph, or missed it, it is your responsibility to ensure you are chrono'd. Do not miss it.

In that case, you're just like the rest of us, there are lots of threads on this topic and much has been said before, if you give exacting requirements, people can really help you out, but otherwise, hire at your next game, and ask as many people as possible if you might be able to hold their gun and then aim each down the sights. Shoot it if allowed, some people assume you will, but I always ask. I even swapped with someone who was hiring once for a few shots in the middle of an engagement. I don't recommend shopping here, tax is guaranteed, shipping does not include [mandatory] handling fees, but this page is great for finding ideas: http://www.evike.com/shop/21/672/ M4's are recommended because they're the most common (and commonly desired), and common equals cheaper, more competitive manufactures, and cheaper up/side-grades. Once you have UKARA you can import guns - though it can be worth paying more to get it from inside europe. Be sure to check the weight of guns when buying them, two guns of the exact type can have 2+ KGs of weight difference. Guns are generally priced 20-80, 80-130, 130-180, 180-250, £250+ in my observations, two guns from similar price brackets are going to be similar quality in many cases - as are two from the same manufacturer/range in adjacent brackets. These brackets do not include batteries, chargers, slings, or bags: cheaper guns do often come with NiMh batteries and chargers included. 80-130 is a great starting point, gets you off hiring, you have not spent too much if you run into problems - even if those problems are in part caused by not spending much, you have a cheaper throwaway gun for lending to friends after you buy your 'main' gun, you can learn about AEGs from a cheaper gun - most guns allegedly get worse when you open the insides for the first time. You have a backup when your main gun has issues. You also won't mind so much that first time you fall on it. Don't forget face protection when you stop hiring. Buy a sling.

I was going to link to a gun, I just bought, from the orange/blue BB sites, but i'm flabbergasted to see it is 105% more expensive in the UK in two tone, than poland. Answer this before anyone else can help you: Are you 18 or over? Do you have a UKARA number?

That post (the bit on company information) should be added to the guides!

Second mesh face mask, Sling, x2 Webbing belt, 32 FMA Magpul clone rail covers, Angled fore grip, hand stop kit, admin pouch with pistol mag slot. 30x100, 30x150, 30x200 unmarked suppressors. 140mm double threaded barrel extension.

If that's true, why does the proportion of people not wearing lower face protection greatly decrease in CQB?

Ankle/knee protection. If the average engagement distance is under 10m, indoors, and on semi auto, you may find a pistol to be quite useful, and for GBB fun. The not wearing of lower face protection, in the videos, does not necessarily show the engagement distances of the players. Not to mention some sites operate absolutely no head shot rules. So if no one is firing at head height - beyond the first 10m to account for the guns firing height, accidental head shots wouldn't be to common. A lot going on in videos that you may not be aware of to explain the lack of lower protection, not to mention some gumshields for airsoft type purposes do work.

Before or after helmet? I bought some with a helmet and found the helmet came with some too.

Even on an airsoft forum, where's the real steel jokes.

I just had a realisation. For the time that UPS took to contact me, by post and email, while waiting for a response from me and taking days actually contact me, they held my package before allowing it to pass through customs, FOR NO REASON beyond the off chance that a package from evike.com, a known airsoft retailer might contain a RIF or other 'iffy' item. That's some kind of interfering with postage. They had held my parcel entirely off their own back for their own interests without involving UK customs, just because of the source. Had they just given it to UK customs it would have gone straight through without any issue. This all before the ransoming begins.

Try europe first. But remember it's only RIFs, not magazines, not suppressors, not stocks, not rails, not inner barrels or gearboxes, or sights, not even 50% of a RIF, but a whole RIF - though if you haven't a defence ordering a RIF in two parts is not only illegal but could yield negative consequences if caught (obviously does not apply here). So if you get that evil message from UPS or another courier about airsoft stuff, if theres no RIF in the package, tell them to shuv it (while co-operating fully).

Someone recently suggested coiling paper. EDIT: Added Link.

How precise are these services? I'm looking at two guns (CYMA/JG) listed as 360 and 360-400 fps. I need around 338-349, can I just whack a suppressor on the 360 and get the other downgraded to 340? Or should I just get both downgraded.

By gone, you mean it wont turn on? Or the contents of the gearbox has turned to sand when you opened it?

Sorry about my previously reply, I'm too cheap (poor) to replace parts to personalise my gun, I just bought these from FMA:

Scar looks beastly, F2000 looks ok.

They work well in CQB though, albeit as BB showers. I can certainly attest to their confusion adding factor.

They have some good deals (on sub £100 guns) sometimes - but while at the same time splattered with rip offs.

They want your money.

£4.50 - amazon

The guy updated this one, the price drop is so dubious without everything else. People don't really buy things without at least finding them from a retailer/trader even if out of stock for a price? One of my pet hates, retailers that do not show the last price for the item when it's out of stock.

+ CM18 is 23cm rail with 2cm connector to upper receiver. Outer barrel and inner barrel is 1cm longer than rail.
