The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Druid799 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
What connector does it have ? If it’s a Tameya swap it for a deans asap , much better flow from the batt to the gun .? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Nothing toooooooo epic , picked up an armor's stock plate for the pulse rifle . -
“I either want my asking price or a unicorn ? to ride to work !” ”certainly sir not a problem , and what color would sir like his unicorn to be ?” ?♂️

What is reasonable wear and tear for an airsoft RIF?
Druid799 replied to AirSniper's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Also have to take in to consideration how ham fisted you are with the trigger , I’ve seen players run through thousands of BBs in a game and I’d be surprised if their guns even make 4mths let alone 6-9 or even 12mths ! Where as I’ve got a couple of TM recoils (as has one of my team mates as well)that are easily over 12yrs old but as I run predominantly single only there still running fine AND still totally stock bar a deans instead of a tamiya . The longevity of your kit does come down to how you treat it as well -
Fitting an M4 stock to a fixed buffer tube M16
Druid799 replied to RostokMcSpoons's topic in General Discussion
Me personally I wouldn’t sell it on , you’ll never get even remotely what its worth back as a ’spares or repairs’ id keep it and try and fix it my self . PS that is a saucy little number you’ve highlighted ! ? -
Problem with Etsy and 3D Airsoft parts is if it’s got any hint of a gun part in the title or looks like it it’ll get pulled .

Fitting an M4 stock to a fixed buffer tube M16
Druid799 replied to RostokMcSpoons's topic in General Discussion
Will need some destructive working to achieve that and to be honest by the time you’ve got all the bits’n’bobs you’ll need to achieve the objective you will have spent near the price of a reasonable quality budget gun SO why not just buy another gun ? ? -
I see stuff like this and I think back in the day I(and I’m sure most of the guys I worked with) would have swapped my left bollock to get my hands on something like that ! looking at it my first thought is “just what you need” I look at a lot of modern kit and I do sometimes think it’s overly complicated or has too many ‘functions’ to it where as this design just screams at you “simple but effective” . As you may have noticed I’m impressed with it , very well done . .

Problem I have with hoods/snoods/scarves/etc is I sweat like a pig in a Synagogue so I get rather ‘moist’ wearing any kind of cloth face pro , I tried a friends Delta but even with it being made of mesh cloth I was still soaking by end of the game , where as him has no problem at all(matter of fact I’ve been trying to find a way to see if the fecker is an android he sweats that little ! ?)
-
Don’t know you , never mete you , but god I hate you ! ? ?? is it as good ‘in the flesh’ as we all hoped it would be ?
-
Yup when it comes to getting any kind of cheek weld for sighting down your gun your pretty much bolloxed with all ‘hard’ face pro , as the others have said you either go for predominately fabric or a riser for the scope .

The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Antibiotics should help with that . -
I have one of those electric speedloaders , it’s REALLY finicky with the ammo it’ll load(or not as the case may be) , it’s slow as hell AND the minute it hits any kind of resistance it just stops all together and you have to finish loading with a ‘normal’ speed loader . Basically it’s shit !?♂️ get a real Odin simples . ?

Me personally I’ve always thought when you come down to it getting tech work done if your not confident doing it your self is like standing on a ledge in the pitch black and all you can do is grab your nuts and jump , your either going to land on something soft and squishy ?or your getting something sharp and spiky up your arse when you land ! ?
-
Afraid your asking an unanswerable question , your want an opinion on a very personal choice , it’s like “what am best gun ?” One players ‘perfect’ brand of BB is the next players ‘perfect’ example of a pile of shit ! Ultimately your going to need to see if the site your playing at has any restrictions on ammo(bio or non-bio to be used , only use the ammo they sell , etc)and then buy some and give it a go . Obviously your NOT going to buy a bottle of 10,000 bright yellow no name .12’s for £6 from Fleabay , just buy a bottle or bag of a branded name and see how they perform in your guns .
-
Yea some sites over seas are a lot cheaper BUT once you factor in all the charges that will accompany buying it from the Far East and importing it yourself you end up with around the same price as you’ve got over here .
-
Don’t disagree just as many cowboys (if not more) in the motor trade , point I was making is that for some unknown reason Airsofters seem a lot more acceptant of shoddy tech work than most others are simply because of the ‘reputation’ of said tech ?
-
Now the problem with this comment is your applying real world expectations to Airsofting , when you take your car to a ‘reputable’ garage you have an expectation of an appropriate level of work being done AND an expectation of recourse if it isn’t ? Where as with Airsofting there’s a VERY VERY good chance even from supposed ‘reputable’ techs and retailers your going to receive a gun back that appear to have been work on by a monkey with Alzheimer’s , AND when you do try to complain you’ll be told either ; A, “it must have happened transit” B, “you must have done something to it after receiving it back” or C, “how dare you question our tech teams work !” ?♂️ Just saying ?
-
For once nope not the case , it’s what the going price is . From HK it’s the same price in US $’s as it is in UK £’s so by the time you add all the ‘extras’ on there’s a very good chance it could end up costing more to import than buying in the UK ! ?
-
Unfortunately yes it is available !? Unfortunately no it won’t over the years I’ve seen plenty of 2-tone TM recoils AND even seen in the classified on this very forum an L1A1 with a full wood upgrade kit for sale that was puss green ! ??

As titled has landed at last , Dave’s custom have them in limited stock . https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/s-and-t-lee-enfield-no-1-mkiii-smle-spring-rifle-real-wood?search=S%26t lee enfield clip from YouTube , will you listen to the sound of it cycling ? Ooff suits you sir !

Have to sort of agree and disagree on this , do agree the stupid ‘flappy’ hair triggers can be a pain in the butt at semi only games but I equally find that you have a similar problem when you have sites saying “short bursts” only . Example few yrs ago went to strike force CQB in Gloucester , first visit the rule was semi only and I thoroughly enjoyed it , yes you did have a few of the hair trigger brigade sticking 3,4 or even 5 shots in to you in the time you got 1 or possibly 2 shots off , but not a problem , BUT next time I went a couple of mths later rules had changed , apparently some of the players with bog standard AEG’s where complaining the HPA and high cycle boys had an unfair advantage(Don’t see this but who am I to say ?) SO they then allowing ‘short’ bursts to ‘even’ the gameplay ?????? which ment yes if you had a ‘normal’ AEG you’d get 3,4,5 shots off but the others where now getting 10,11,12 shots off in the same space of time ! now I don’t care how big and ‘ard’ you think you are or how much you crow on about “if you can’t take getting hit don’t play !” a 10+rd burst in CQB F…ing hurts and will piss you off if it happens continuously through out the day .

Just used JKArmy for the 1st time (even though been playing and ordering from HK for over 20yrs just never had before) and I have to say I’m very impressed with my dealing with them , ordered 3 short snow wolf Thompson mags for the pulse rifle on the 17th of Dec , notified immediately of recite of the order , notified on the 21st of dispatch , notified by PO was on their system on the 23rd, then in country on the 1st , cleared customs on 3rd , on the way to local depo yesterday and delivered today ! so under a mth from start to finish(including Xmas and new year)nice traceability of the order , so I’m very happy with this my 1st order from them and will definitely use them again with hopefully the same level of success . Plus the order was half the price of buying from the one and only shop I could find short Thompson magazines in for sale in the UK .
-
As others have said this is the problem in a nutshell . Not saying OP is a “insert derogatory phrase or name” but this outlook on rates of fire is the core of the problem . 25RPS and upwards just isn’t acceptable to a lot of players AND is definitely going to piss some other players off big time .

Very true , UNLESS you’ve got zero choice of game sites unless your willing to travel for hrs and hrs just to get to the next site that you could play at ?
