Tactical Pith Helmet

I use an LMG. Proper suppressive fire does not need a massive rof. Causing a stream of plastic to whir past where someone may stick there head out is of dubious worth. You're better off rattling a longish slow burst into cover so that folk know there being covered in my experience. In airsoft milsims and filmsims the advantage is mag capacity and round amount loaded. No advantage in skirmishes.

Scratching my head to think if this will take AK mags. Looks like a fairly passable copy of ANA Russian rig for about a fifth of the price.

May not even be the rif. A shit balance charger can charge your batteries to all sort of random states of charge. Are you testing them on the same battery?

The toy dog that always looked like it needed putting down...

There is a click and forget Perun for G&Gs. It sounds exactly what you are looking for. There may be better options, I am not really knowledgeable about them tbh. I went for the Perun for its simplicity and ease of use. I do use Gate Nanos in a couple of rifs, they work well as a simple 'fet. I don't know about wiring one to your loom.

Those G&G fets are so unreliable it's impossible to say when they actually went. As for paypal, any mention of the word gun and you're sunk. Airsoft toy - fine. Airsoft gun - evil death device.

I have a G&G L85, easily the worst rif I own. Heavy, unergonomic, and unreliable. It lasted two short games and the ETU shat itself. Budget in a Perun at the least I'd say. On the plus side, it's a sort of favourite. For milsims it's a decent replica. I notice that my ex-infantry pal who fields one all the time, has no probs at all, re crap ergonomics. Being airsoft, the 'it's cool' factor is a major consideration.

I imagine that some enterprising chap or chapess will be in local attendance, and willing to administer the appropriate jab for a hefty fee. That seems to be the way with the tests required for flying. Damn good question from a cost front alone! If one of your party is disinclined to be jabbed or whatever, the situation may become decidedly interesting and expensive. Of course post Brexit we also require medical insurance, and my AA European membership is only for a couple of days. After that it's extra. Its all a lot more expensive and complicated these days for various reasons.

The last two AKs I bought from Patrolbase had been in stock at TG about two/three weeks previously. Both had those green stickers with Polish warnings on that TG affix to their rifs. One cost £200 from PB, £144 from TG. Given 2% duty, plus fees, plus 20% is a minimum of £176 with zero fees attached. At time of writing, TG only has three models of CYMA AK in stock. PB only has four. Just an example, but it's shit if you are after a particular model. Actually having it in stock is king.

Here we go Jacob. Straight from the pferd's mund as it were. I received this from the German Customs Directorate. '...travellers from the UK to Germany or through Germany required a weapons permit issued by the locally competent weapons authority. This is usually the authority locally competent for the area where the hunters or shooters stay in Germany or - if the transit only - where they enter Germany. There are no simplifications applicable in such a case. From a customs point of view this is a temporary import, provided the goods (firearms) leave the EU again. There are no import fees on that. An oral declaration to customs is sufficient. Here you can find a list with weapons authorities in Germany:' https://www.nwr-fl.de/liste-der-waffenbehoerden-seite.html I discussed my travel plans with Mrs Pith Helmet. She is of the opinion that Berget is likely to be extortionate to attend. She has attempted cheap(ish) road travel in Sweden previously and recommended Border War in Czech Republic as an alternative if driving. It does occur to me that there must be plenty of milsims in Europe. Attending as a group may be a lot of fun. There are plenty of Polish and Portuguese players at my local site. Attending a game as a British team with local interpreter might be something to attend.

Bed it in and then think about new mainspring and hop rubber. If you can't wait to work on it ,do the rubber straight away. TMs are a quality piece of kit. Not sure they need £350 of upgrades out of the box!

His mum's unplugged the Amiga to plug the Dyson in. She won't be long. If he cleaned his bedroom more often there'd be less for her to do tbh.

If you're dead set on using a strobe, but don't want to be thought of as a selfish silly sausage, try using a fairly powerful torch and blinking really rapidly. Has about the same effect.

G&G's M4 based support gun uses a stanag compatible box mag running on CR123 batteries. Only used for a few hours so far, so just a cautious thumbs up from me for now.

Anyone come across these before? I assume (hope) that they are actually plastic. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174606728485?hash=item28a75f3d25:g:y7QAAOSwJ4hY-Ge5 Glass is an extremely complicated material, I imagine that .28g glass BBs are a possibility.

My neighbour knocked on my door at 2am this morning and said, 'Rob, I can't fucking sleep.' 'Well it's your lucky night.' I said, 'I've got a good party going on here, come on in.'

Good luck with your purchase!

Yep very true. If the gas guns that I have seen are anything to go by, you can peer into the guts of them in the boot of your car pre-game, then at lunchtime, and again mid fire-fight in the afternoon. That said I don't know a huge number of people that use them. Is yours reliable enough?

Careful with the li-po. The tops pull off the damn things if you are too forceful when inserting them into the adaptor. They are a huge improvement though.

Those ASG chargers are bloody awful in my experience. Get yourself a decent charger and you might get away with a 1000mAh li-po all day.

TBH I am tempted to do the same but I can't see things improving in the new year. Looking at the news, we may be treated to a new round of lock downs, staff shortages and industrial action before too long. I did notice (to the detriment of my wallet) that a CYMA I had wanted for months was back in at TG. About three weeks later it was in stock at Patrol Base. I wimped out and orderedit from there.

Problem with you is your ridiculous optimism. Few boneyard rifs I've looked at are that good...

Blimey, can't even get some camo gear from Germany. The seller returned my money and said that he had simply had too much stuff sitting on UK customs. Real shame as Russian surplus is cheaper by far over there.

Sounds like a job for a decent mosfet to me.
