    New guy needs advice.

    If you want something that is going to work well every time you take it out of the box, in most weathers and should last if looked after, aim to budget £150 for a Tokyo Marui gas blowback pistol and gas/ammo (0.2g upwards).

     

    You can't go wrong, and it is just then a choice of which model to choose.

    Was looking for a new pressure switch for an old Star D-LAP laser, and found this on Redwolf -

     

    http://m.redwolfairsoft.com/item_detail/36304-G%26P+Cable+Switch+Modular+Grip+w%2FPressure+Switch+%28Sand%29

     

    So ordered it. Plus a couple of other bits from their decent looking sale.

     

    Same price for said part from Fire Support -

    So...bargain! Even inc. the $11 airmail fee.

    Brilliant, only on a forum would you hear that TMs are overrated.

     

    I have no doubt that other brands are very good.

     

    But if you want something that is more expensive than an entry G&G but less expensive than a Real Sword, that should be reliable if left stock, then TM is that brand. Granted, not sure how good the EBBs are (fired a SCAR H last Sunday and was hugely impressed) in the long run, but I would always advise TMs.

     

    Horses for courses though.

    Essentials

     

    - (Camo or block 'military colours' if possible) Gloves, hat, scarf/scrim/shemagh/snood.

     

    - Decent eye protection.

     

    - Decent footwear.

     

    - Warm socks/t-shirt.

     

     

    After that, and if you've enjoyed it, aim to buy Tokyo Marui guns to start off with, as they are reliable and if left alone, should allow you to avoid the 'buy cheap, buy twice' adage. Then look at a vest/chest rig/webbing to slug stuff around in, a sling, a holster, some camouflage or tactical gear...a gun bag...ammunition...gas...

    Bushnell Holosight (like an Eotech 552 without the NV)

    in General Help

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    Am considering selling my Bushnell HOLOsight; it uses 2 x AA batteries and functions just like an EOtech HOLOsight - but without the NV capability - and lacks the outer shroud.

     

    This sight functions brilliantly, is undamaged and fits perfectly onto RIS uppers. I have used it on a Breacher, M16, Galil...

    Would like a good ball-park valuation please.

     

    Thanks.

    Action Hobbies have a great sale on atm.

     

    Bought some Begadi EDC trousers in OD for £22.

     

    They have Begadi micro-fibre trousers for £11 and the matching jacket for about (possibly cheaper than) £27 IIRC.

     

    I have bought twice from these guys now and have found them to be superb.

    Various WW2/Vintage era airsoft guns - valuations wanted please.

    My old man is giving up on airsoft due to lack of time.

     

    He has a variety of airsoft guns he wants to sell, and I'll be doing this for him.

     

    I will get pictures, so I am sorry for the lack of them in the post. I have tried to be as detailed as possible to help with valuations. Due to having a newborn in the house, I just have not had time to take and post pictures, but I have pics of the pistols and FAL if required.

     

    AEGs:

     

    CYMA Thompson - good condition, works well and has 2 magazines. Has the wooden furniture fitted but also has the faux wood plastic furniture.

     

    CYMA 'Chicago Typewriter' style Thompson - fluted barrel, fore grip and 1 drum mag. In very good condition. Shoots well, but a little hot at 360fps. Barely used.

     

    King Arms FN FAL (long) - missing the fire selector lever, paint worn in places and fires better with a quality bb brand like Excels. Seemed to double fire on full auto with cheap brands before Steve from a well known Portsmouth based shop/site had a tinker. 3 locals and 2 hi caps. RIS upper and non-RIS upper included.

     

    ACM MP40 - fires well, good condition, 3 magazines.

     

    ACM Sten gun - fires well, battery wires threaded out of the gun to allow use of a bigger battery in a stock mounted pouch. Good condition. 3 magazines.

     

    CA M249 - bit of a mission this one...set up with a para short barrel and sliding stock, but has the long barrel and solid stock too in the package. Spare gear box. Spare pistol grip. Fires really well when box mag is working. Modified to have battery in the box mag and for mag to wind when gun firing. Catch to hold magazines in has broken and been fixed. Basically could do with a brand new box mag.

     

     

    GBBs:

     

    Tanaka S&W M500 - fires well, missing the front sight, good condition.

     

    Tanaka Luger P.O8- black, long barrel, snail magazine plus 1 normal magazine. In basically un-skirmished, kept in a box condition.

     

    Marushin .44 Automag - superb condition. 3 magazines plus silver pistol case and 8mm bbs of various weights. Fires well.

     

    ACM Mauser - semi-auto. 2 magazines. Fires well, unsure if GBB or NBB though. Good condition.

     

    Cheers.

    I think I'm a sniper?

    Being a sniper is, for me, a state of mind, rather than a look or even your equipment. You want to use what'll do the job...and in airsoft, it is usually to take out as many OP-FOR as possible until they get you. Because there is so little difference in range between decent AEGs and most dedicated rifles, compared with real steel, whilst stealth helps, you're usually close enough to be located eventually...

     

    Browning M2's with scopes on...to handguns with optics...all have been used by snipers to achieve this aim.

     

    I say, do what you plan to do, and most importantly, enjoy it and learn from failures and successes.

    I would always recommend Tokyo Marui to anyone buying their first RIFs.

     

    I have TM Gas pistols going strong after 20+ years (a NBB Desert Eagle) and their GBBs are top quality and seem to work well in pretty much all weathers.

     

    As for an AEG, it really is horses-for-courses, but again, TM will almost certainly not let you down.
