CRW (thats a name some haven't heard in a while) are doing10% over a £200 spend. They are now also UK based https://www.crw-airsoft.com/

That would be ok in my books… if a massive TM shipment from Japan didn’t just land at pretty much every retailer in the UK. Which it did.

Yep, I've got the KJW m700 and the modelworks m40 kit. The only other gas m40 i know of is the VFC but that's an a5 barrel. But there might be some like 1990's build that there's only 9 of in existence.

I've had one in my cupboard for about 8 years now. Haven't run it in about 7.5 years as the aftermarket hop nub (spartan doctrine IIRC) isn't square. Might actually get round to getting the AAC version and using it

Maybe he needs the £2k for laser eye surgery. I mean, looking at that thing, it seems to add up.

I really wanted a LD mk48 - i like LMGs and the such, but after reading reviews on it, it seem very much like an early gen VFC aeg. Gorgeous externals, well built and put together, but the insides made of aldi own brand soft cheese. I know DCA are taking over that bit for the new model, so fingers crossed. I would love a modern m240

Slight impulse buy so look out for some stuff in the classifieds soon. Does feel a bit plasticky compared to other TM pistols, but it doesn’t matter as it’s never getting fired

For most films, it's passable. For films like John Wick, it wouldn't work - but films like that have more stringent H&S checks in place due to the nature of the choreography. And as i work in CGI/VFX, spotting fake or poorly done muzzle flash, shell ejection and the like can ruin a film. Like those Sky made action films - they look dreadful (among many other bad things about them). Edit: Also, after spending time on set with replica and prop firearms - the armorers i've worked with would blow a bollock if they were on that Rust set. It's annoying that 2 people not following the rules cast shade on the whole profession. Imagine if they banned train drivers after a rail accident - hyperbole, yes, but a whole industry and profession shouldn't have to change because 2 people didn't follow standard, strict rules. 2nd edit: Also the knock on effect - VFX ain't cheap. So the budget comes from somewhere. The studio pockets (lol), or the VFX budget. Which means corners get cut, artists get squeezed and underpaid, or it gets outsourced to India. They always saying "fix it in post" when people in post always say "Get it in camera".

After the Baldwin on set accident,I've read that some studios are going to replica's and prop guns to avoid anything else happening. So expect to see a lot more CGI muzzle flash and case ejection, as well as hicaps and feed lips. Not sure i agree with it, as the Baldwin shooting was breaking many many rules and should've been avoided

I have a virtually complete mk18 - only needs a new bolt body and nozzle clip

From what i understand, the CYMA/EMG one doesn't like MWS parts so might as well be propriety. The DE is meant to be ok, but some Gen 1 issues, like the bolt doesn't fully close. But probably good enough that you could put mws internals and use mws mags at a later date.

I've had the misfortune of talking to a couple of Americans on Reddit about this. There seems to be a theme running through their thought process of only dealing in absolutes. When the VCRA kicked it, we formed bodies, lobbied for compromise and tried to ring fence the sport (could strongly argue for the good). The Americans are very much in the stance of the bill must be stopped at all costs, and not even willing to compromise on some sort of USARA or have a body formed to be that focal point between the law makers and retailers/importers/players. Which is a tad ironic considering how much power the NRA holds over there, and their lobbying has made buying a gun in some places so simplistic.

Thats just reminded me - Vans now do outdoor boot/trainer things. I got a pair of MTE 2 hi tops for japan, and they were great. Did about 15 miles a day on average and they were great. Would've been ruined in normal trainers. Something like these could be a good airsoft boot https://www.vans.co.uk/shop/en-gb/vans-gb/ultrarange-exo-hi-mte-2-shoes-vn0a4bvsyuu https://www.vans.co.uk/shop/en-gb/vans-gb/ultrarange-exo-hi-gore-tex-mte-3-shoes-vn0a5jhx77j

I recommend Oakley boots if you can find them. I got a pair of gucci ones for my 18th birthday. I'm 37 in 6 months and apart from the toe cap needing some polish, they really are as good as new

I've been trying to use the madbull adapter and propane and it just wont fill. Various Airsoft gas - fills Yellow bottle Mapp - fills Blue propane - jizzes everywhere

So after completely forgetting about this pistol for about 10 years after longing for it for ages: I was Googling WA SVI’s, trying to find a price for mine to sell at an airsoft boot sale last weekend, and went down a small rabbit hole of other WA pistols - setting off multiple old memories of pre VCRA days. Then at said boot sale, a van pulls up directly opposite me and what do you think they have… WA Colt Delta Elite. I think it was a sign that I had to buy it.

I'm gonna save this and show my wife that 2.5 inches is still a large frame

From memory the TM M4 is different to ta GBB. The AEG goes: - Body - Barrel - Screw Barrel Nut - Spring - Retaining collar And also has 2 screws to hold the outer barrel in place

It took them about a month to realise the site was down. Wouldn't hold my breath tbh
