The other week i slipped sideways on some wet leaves onto concrete. Instinctively I took the fall with my shoulder due to a) many many years of playing rugby, I knew my shoulder could take the fall b) i had my shiny new mk46, and i would rather break my shoulder than that

QQ: Will these work with MP5 mags https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/fma-airsoft-molle-pistol-polymer-speed-fast-magazine-pouch-19406-p.asp

Having said that, he's now done enough of them (mine included) to have a knack of doing it, so not so risky/time consuming any more. Basically, some unlucky so-and-so has paid for all the R&D on behalf of everyone else.

Alternatively, you are going to a place where Airsoft is a lot more common - so sell your UK stuff before you go and buy it again there?

I have a TM Foliage warrior and manage to get around 25 rounds easily out of a mag. I normally only load up around 12-14 rounds per pistol mag (make it a bit more realistic) and never had an issue with them.

Is the "dynamic precision enhanced set" stock power?

This one was a bit different - a buying weekend rather than a playing. Saw an MWS for sale, along with a couple of pistols and a ACR GBB., and a bunch of kit. Made an offer on buying the lot with the idea of flipping 90% of it and keeping the MWS. I knew most of the kit would be for the bring n buy at the end of the month, so no issues there. The pistols, I could sell on to the right people and make a tidy profit. I was planning on selling the ACR, but i made the mistake of test firing it.... now I'm doing the man maths to justify having it.

They never had QC even back when they were STAR.

Either way, the going rate for those is £40-45 each. I payed £300 for 5 once...but it also came with a free TM CQBR.

I preferred Redcon 2, despite the long walk back to respawns. Also might look at the one near Watford, and one in Berkshire.

Bit late to the party, but to defend 8 fields - I got some soft pistol mag taco's from them. Under £4 each. They grip my FNX mags tighter than anything. And have a full molle backing unlike the viper ones which are sewn shut on the middle part so you can't loop them properly.

Sun's out - guns out. First game out for the year on Saturday at the soon to be closed for 2 years (HS2) at RIFT Comsite 3. Lots of people for this event, but unfortunately this hindered the game, as the site has got smaller the car park has got smaller, and the day basically was who can run to the choke-points fastest and who had the best hop up unit as it became 6 hours of out ranging each other. People setting up in buildings and playing pop up pirate all day. And with an LMG and the single shot rule, made it a long day. First time using the MK46, and the overpriced mag shit itself during chrono. Luckily it was a gear coming off the motor and once i popped it back on, was good to go. Short review of the gun - it gets out ranged by a few (new hop rubber on order), its lower on FPS than most as its JP standard, the mag is picky with ammo and misfeeds a wee bit and the fact its not auto winding is a mystery to me. And its heavy. I'm not a small bloke, in fact in the winter i dabble in powerlifting, and I was broken on the Sunday. But not one gun I've own has been more fun, got more compliments or had people ask to have a go. I love it, and wish there were more like it. If TM released an m240 version, I would be there with the deeds to my house as a down payment.

I remember someone posted a picture of a GBB m1 garand two toned

Yep, you're right - i just skim read it and saw V2 parts.

I had a really bad day, today. I dropped my friend's baby in front of everyone. in my defense, I did say i was too short to be a pallbearer.

On paper, these do look like a winner. Reviews are that Lambda externals are great, but that the internals are made of babybel's. So add a V2 gearbox, a semi normal hop and you should be laughing. Shame none come with the rail and heat shield as i really like that look. Not that I'd buy one off pre-order 1st batch.

That's my one gripe about RIFT - other places do free tea/coffee and tap water, but it's all extra there. I normally bring snacks, then wait for them to occasionally do the hot food half price to get rid of it. The long briefs - meh - they're long but they are what they are

I like the red/burgundy ones - that you just used to slap the colonists out of the way with

Never mind

Picture tax

And picture tax Rep mart is great - cheaper than most and like I said, a really nice shop with plenty of space to look. They even have custom carrier bags that fit the boxes in nicely. also if you’re in Osaka, SFBU had some great gear in, and lots of new goodies like the Carl Gustav launcher, and the new scar compact thing.

So for further reading on this if anyone is interested (long post incoming) Went to Repmart in Akihabara, opposite Echigoya - lovely shop and one thing that is different is that this one has a lot of space, it doesn't feel like a carboot sale. They had an in store special on the SD6 which was too tempting not to at £350ish. Also picked up a decent armourer's wrench whilst I was in there. Then moved to Kyoto, and popped into Gun Shop Gurka in Osaka who deal with 2nd hand stuff. TM MK46 marked as B grade, this thing looked as good as new, bar some light scratches on the stock, and no outer box. Bargain at around £500. Also in another shop down the road, elusive TM MP5 mags at £20 each, so picked up 4 of them, before the wife screamed at me. So this is when it gets interesting. My flights were ITM-HND with JAL, then HND-LHR with BA, all on the same ticket but handled by the respective airlines. I had spoken to BA ahead of time and they said if JAL check it in at ITM, then all gravy. I had this confirmed in an live chat and had the print outs. I also phoned JAL in the UK ahead of time, and was told to email them the fact sheets and my flight details. They got back to me and said all good, they will put a marker on my ticket to have it inspected before being checked in. In preparation, I bought 2 large cardboard boxes and taped them together into one long one (still within airline limits) and bubble wrapped it all inside. Got to itami, checked in the suitcases no problem. Inspected the guns and a police officer walks over, gives it a quick look and a thumbs up. This is going too good... Then JAL bring out 2 huge metal flight cases. They want to ship the rifs in their special weapon cases. Ok not a deal breaker, I can just grab them at LHR. No dice, they are for domestic flights only, meaning I would need to pick it up at HND and re-check it in. Urghhhhhh. So I ask "how do i get these back to London once they are out of the metal cases?" They then check in the empty 6ft cardboard box as well. Get to HND, pick up cases and box, transfer them back to cardboard box an then lug it across to the international terminal to check back it. Approach the desk where it's Japanese BA staff. Explain to them what has transpired and hand over the spec sheets of the 2 which i had printed out in advance. The nice lady nods, then talks to an older gentleman who looks at he spec sheet - says something in Japanese but i pick out the words Marui, and Airsoft. So they take me over to oversized baggage, and run it through an xray, no need to unbox this time. Nervous wait and then a thumbs up. I break out the roll of gaffer tape and seal down all the openings 3 times over. Get to LHR, box pops out, border patrol/HMRC are all on strike and i walk through the green channel with no issues and from touchdown on the tarmac to my driveway in 90 minutes. Overall if I were to do it again, i would by a softcase/hard case and bung them in that if it weren't a mk46.

Managed to grab 4 mp5 mags to go with the sd6. When did mags become so expensive??

Just went on a bit of a spree in Osaka, ended up with an TM SD6 and a MK46. Prices too good not to. Pics to follow when I return next week
