could just be bad luck as the part is cast brittle pot metal and broke at a stress point.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

bought from the forum a S&T Japanese Type 64 rifle to go along with my Type 89's. Just waiting for TM to get around to releasing a Type 20.

Might only be one left even before they arrive. Might want to give them a call.

Combat South will have them in the shop very soon.

WE Glock 34 Gen 3

Cheeky little PMAG which is actually a USB battery pack. Takes up to 3 18650 batteries and powers my fan glasses easily. You can fit a couple of 5.56 rounds in the top as well if you want it to look more legit.

I thought the same but the wiring loom is missing and it doesn't say if that includes the little motor that sync's the gearbox. They also mentioned it had feeding issues before the loom disappeared which suggests someone has changed the gears messing up the timing that that little motor uses to sync the magazine motor. It could be an expensive wall hanger.

inspired loosely on the AK's I've seen watching too many Ukrainian videos. It's a TM AKS74U with a bunch of aftermarket bits bolted on.

bought a knock off team Wendy lid and stretch cover from Aliexpress. Pretty decent quality.

I got the NVG's from Aliexpress and it was delivered for £566 which is about the price of a Tm NGRS. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006816652648.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.29.136c1802fL5pMX The price listed is £649 but when I went to buy them they knocked off £100 at checkout. Not sure if this is for everyone but I wasn't going to complain. I'll try to stick up a video showing the quality (once it gets dark!)

PVS-31 Digital NVG. Not as good as my Gen 3 PVS-14 but better than my Sionyx. Still needs a IR source for complete darkness but in low light they are very clear. Another nice touch is you can switch from green to Phos, B&W and a strange brownish colour. This is the Pro version so you can run off the external battery pack or run it on a single 14500 battery

laylax made this one: https://impulse101.jp/en/ris-ras-handguards/laylax-nitrovo-tokyo-marui-next-gen-ak-keymod-handguard-3585 and WII Tech make this one https://airsofteire.co.uk/products/wii-tech-b-30-lower-handguard-tokyo-marui-ak102-recoil-shock?shpxid=82cf6089-37dc-4857-ac32-e571aab00879

Yup. you are right and it's not a TM and most likely a Western Arms M9A1.

looks like a TM mag to me https://eagle6.co.uk/product/tokyo-marui-m9a1-spare-magazine-26rnd-black-for-m9a1-m92f-gbb-series easy way to tell is to look at the base of the magazine and it will probably say Tokyo Marui

TM Beretta M9A1 is worth about £60 and the KJ works Glock 19/23 is around the same.

for anyone looking for a TM G17 Gen 5, Airsoft eire have them in stock https://airsofteire.co.uk/collections/green-gas-pistols/products/alpha-acr36

side mounts are usually bolted or riveted to the side of the receiver and can be drilled off. Wire stocks on AK's came in 4 versions, Romanian, Polish, Egyptian and Hungarian and all 4 are different. The Romanian and Polish look very similar but the difference is that the polish version used a button for folding whereas the Romanian one used a lever. The Maadi is similar to the Hungarian version but instead of a T shaped butt stock, had a triangle shaped piece of metal. There is more nerdy detail I could go in to but that's a general rule. One other thing to consider is all wire side folders were built on AKM's and not milled receiver AK's. In airsoft you can find 3 of the 4 stocks as aftermarket parts (no one makes a Maadi) EDIT - I forgot to mention East German but these were just a copy of the Polish one

The Makarov isn't that quiet. It has quite a loud pop from the CO2. Quietest is the TM MK 23 with silencer attached. Used to run around Copehill at night and my giggling as I shot people was louder than the pistol. If you fancy branching into small form factor rifles instead of pistols, I reckon you could make a TM VSR 1 pretty quiet.

fun project. Picked up a worn PTS Masada AKM from Strykerles with a few known issues. Originally it looked like this: I stripped it completely down, removed all the old paint and replaced the micro switch in the gearbox which was goosed. Cerakoted the upper receiver with Magpul flat dark earth, put in a new front sight and replaced a few other bits. Turned out pretty good.

it might be a red herring. Have you tried a different chrono as the chrono you are using might not be the best for accurate FPS readings in full auto.

The STAR/ARES SLR? I have both and both have done thousands of BB's over the years without a glitch. I've even fitted the full auto selector to one and again it's been bombproof. The company has a bit of a bad rep but outside people looking for youtube likes they aren't that bad. No better or worse that the bulk of AEG's. I have the King Arms Para FAL and it's no better or worse than the Ares apart from you are unlikely to get an external part from King Arms if it falls off and you loose it as their support game is weak.

I don't think it will be lasers, too big, bulky and power hungry to be useful. Drones only need the shittest component on the board to fail for it to fall out the sky. A powerful enough signal could burnout a capacitor or resistor making the drone useless. The downside is anything else within range would suffer the same but I'd rather my radio popped than the AFV I'm in popping. It shouldn't take too long for a change in drone warfare due to the evolution in the drone world currently being 8 weeks. Every 8 weeks there is a branch on the evolution tree, good or bad and within 8 weeks another change.

Don't disagree however knowing the guys shooting at you have 200 meters on your effective range will affect morale, tactics and my even finish a battle before it starts.
