The 'What have you just bought' Thread
MILITATED replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Hope you're doing alright, Ian! Looking to buy a flecktarn loadout, anyone recommend good places to look? -
I've got the TM G18C and have no problems with the selector switch accidentally going full auto/semi. However, I don't have the stock parts as a lot of it has been upgraded, one being the selector switch. It is very definitive between semi/full auto. Despite what was said earlier about full auto being for girls, it is actually quite fun to play about with. However, some seem to not prefer having the option. It can function as a G17 would - just don't touch the switch. As for the mention of the weird KWA selector switch thing, the TM doesn't have it, in case you're wondering. You can select semi/full auto without having to keep the slide back. If you want a practical, but at the same time a FUN gun, then buy the G18C. Full auto with a 50rnd mag will put a smile on your face I do have a long list of upgrades on it though, but it fires fine out of the box. ALTHOUGH, if you do decide to get a G18C, then do not go the cheaper way and get a WE. They've been known to have internal issues with full auto and it can easily cause breaking (which is stupid). You'd be better off getting a TM, believe me. TM also has the GLOCK trademarks, if you're into that sort of thing. Polymer slide though, but uses less gas due to the lighter weight. A WE G17 is fine though because it doesn't have full auto to break it so easily. I agree, I personally see no reason to buy a G17 over and G18C. As I said, full auto is optional. So spend a bit more and have a lot more fun with it! I get bored of semi only pistols since I have had the G18C. Definitely not as fun. All that being said, using WE Glock mags in the TM is perfectly fine Bit cheaper too, but they work very well. Hope this helps EDIT: Turn the G18C into a smg with the CAA Roni G18C Carbine kit Can't see much point in doing that with a G17 because it is semi only. Or an APS kit, depending on budget. You have many options with a G18C

Increase the budget a bit. I personally have a 3x magnifier with a flip to the side QD mount and a 1x magnification M2000 RDS on a high mount. Put together, it just looks like a continuous scope (i placed them specifically so there is no gap), but if I only want 1x magnification, I can just flip the magnifier to the side. I find it better than a scope

Anyone looking for 4x M4 midcaps (look quite nice), 145mm suppressor and a T1 Aimpoint replica?
-
What on earth happened to the green on that gun?
-
You can see some of the winding wheels of the hi cap mags in the movie 28 Weeks Later! Never noticed that before. How often is airsoft used in movies?

All the time! They have to pay for an armorer to be onset if real guns (even blank firers) are used, so any scenes with no shooting tend to use airsoft. Or they will use airsoft and add the firing effect rather than using blanks. Most of John Wick's pistol scenes are airsoft GBB pistols for safety reasons. They digitally added the effects.

Heard Beta mags need a bit of work for some guns. I've got PMags with the window and dummy rounds, but no idea what brand. Definitely not top quality though, they don't even have that '80' marking on the top (if it did, not sure what number it would be, but that isn't the point). Why do they have 80 on the top though? Says mag capacity is 75 Anyway, as I said, the thread above is a good reference point. They worked in a Combat Machine after.
-
Maybe he will be interested in it, who knows. If not, then I will list it Any idea of a price range for these? Think I originally picked it up for about £40, just not sure what resale will be due to it being second hand, albeit barely used.
-
Anyone know how to stiffen up a flip up sight cover? One of em' moves a bit too freely for my liking
-
Aimpoint T1 Replica is pretty good. I have one but I use a different set of optics now so it only had about 1 hour in the spotlight. Nice high mount so you don't need to break your neck trying to look down it. Just sitting in a box now though.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
MILITATED replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Angel custom M4 to MP5 conversion. Not really needed or anything, just sort of want it for the sake of having one. http://www.evike.com/products/46966/ Would probably make a stubby M4 and use that in it, but I am broke after just buying a Madbull SOCOM stock and a 335mm suppressor. Cost of getting it shipped and the customs just makes it a bit too expensive to order for what it is though -
Probably just bought the longest airsoft suppressor there is. This will be interesting. 335mm

Anyone else's messages being sent as blank? I have to keep re-typing them...
-
Gonna spend £90 at Tiger111HK, anyone know how much customs tax will be slapped on top?
-
Anyone know how to stiffen a flip up sight cover? The one on my 3x magnifier isn't as firm as the one on my M2000 sight
-
Since getting into airsoft, I've noticed myself using the word 'mate' a lot. Seems to be everywhere
-
Got a higher cantilever mount and now my magnifier and m2000 sight align perfectly - looks like a scope. Gun is coming together! Next is an expensive SOCOM stock...

http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27183-how-to-make-a-pmag-fit-your-m4-platform/ This helps get the Pmag deeper into the magwell. Worked for my King Arms BW15, mate's G&G Raider and for the user Qlimax. Our problem was that one of the mag's lips were blocking the mag from meeting with the hop up unit and so it would either feed very badly or not at all. Maybe you're in the same boat

http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27183-how-to-make-a-pmag-fit-your-m4-platform/ I had issues with PMags, including with a mate's G&G Raider. Sounds like a similar problem. Worked for me and Qlimax - they work like a dream now. Hope it helps
-
If you're getting a Blackwater gun, do not go to CYMA. King Arms/Cybergun Blackwater BW15 is where it is at. Got one myself and it is absolutely fantastic. Has a unique look to it as well because of the handguard. CYMA is just asking for trouble.

Ah you have access to Evike without the ridiculous charges... Always wanted a specific item from there, but with all the charges, it comes to too much for what it is... They've got some great stuff though -
Not really for airsoft, it is more so to do with a short movie with a few friends. Not confirmed, but just seeing what is out there.

I'm sure we've all seen the movies where special forces tape their mags together (one being upside down, so they can just flip the mags around). I didn't find that to be practical with my PMags, as it'd just make them too long and I wouldn't be able to use my bipod properly. So, I took the root of making a DIY magazine coupler. I did it because it allows you to change your mags in a split second which is pretty useful. Tape is fairly discreet so you don't look like a massive bellend. ----SORRY FOR THE GIANT PHOTOS, NOT SURE HOW TO RESIZE---- All you need to do is put one or two spacers (placements in pictures below) about 1 to 1.5cm thick (to make sure the mags don't hit the magwell lip), stick them down to the mag (with more tape!) put the second mag on top, and tape them together. Use quite a bit of tape and wrap the tape fairly tight to hold the foam or whatever you're using as a spacer in place. FYI: The spacers are just bits of stacked foam wrapped in electrical tape. You can use whatever you want. I know there is a magpul on one of the PMags, but I took it off once I had finished and put tape around the bottom instead - no point have a magpul. Here it is: Where to put the mag spacer(s). You will be fine with putting one, but two makes it more sturdy:

what does your other half think of your airsofting??
MILITATED replied to shortman's topic in General Discussion
You see, I've always been interested to know what guns you have. The 'WAY TOO MANY' has sparked my curiosity. Is there a list floating about anywhere?
