Can't stand drums so can anyone recommend some extended mags that work with the AAP?

One of the reasons I'm sad about combat south closing is their less common DMR rules. 400fps, semi only and no med. Since that's basically how I play with a regular AEG anyway I figured I'd build a DMR to make the most of their rules but they closed before I could finish it 😭

I feel like if I had the disposable income I would absolutely be in the latter half. Instead I have a few guns, one for each "role" that I have put a lot of time and effort into making them totally my own and I've done my best to keep the budget of each gun to under £400 including the base gun and all the upgrades. Each base gun I've picked up for less than £200, often as boneyard guns or as parts. The actual upgrades were all the best value for money stuff rather than the absolute best parts, so a lot of ZCI and SHS/rocket.

I've got a couple of friends who need to work hard to keep the weight on. From what I've talked to them about what it basically comes down to is to live like you're constantly bulking. So high calorie, high protein diet and working out for size over straight strength. If you're really struggling I'd suggest talking to your GP about getting a dietitian for the best and healthiest way for you.

You can't fix stupid but with enough duct tape you can at least keep it away from a keyboard.

It took me such a long time to realise the worth of decent trainers. I couldn't understand for the longest time why I kept getting shin splints after I ran. Turned out it was the lack of proper heel support.

Not sure what it's called but the shaft that drives the needle. The whole thing badly needs stripping and cleaning as the old oil and grease has gummed everything up.

If we're showing antiques here's my mum's old one. Unfortunately it's non functional now because of a bent part so just a display piece now. Not sure exactly how old but the most recent patent date I could find on it is July 4th, 1874.

I recognize that middle one 😉

This is partly why you're going to struggle to convince me it's better than a GHK. Having seen the rwtv video on it I'd still rather have the GHK. Not that I'd even consider the TM until they started bringing out a 74 anyway.

I thought you couldn't return IFs because the shop voids the manufacturer's warranty by painting it? Not that I'm defending this guy.

I really like the look of those but cannot be bothered with dealing with another Ares.

Not exactly airsoft related but doing this little project I think has given me the confidence I need to try some of the Airsoft sewing projects I've put off. It helped that I've finally found a sewing machine that doesn't fill me with frustration and hate.

It's all printed. I can't remember the thread exactly, I think it's something like 13/16th of an inch but you can find it online. You can get real steel buffer tubes for about a tenner off of AliExpress, cheapest place I found. When you draw it up you need to scale the threads up ever so slightly so that they don't bind up

I use real steel buffer tubes threaded into my printed components instead of AEG buffer tubes. That way you can print it all flat and not have to worry about that fracture point. It does make things a little bulkier though.

My dad used a cut down tappet plate with an AEG air nozzle and hop up. You have to manually rack the air nozzle to load a BB then pull back the string and release to fire. I came up with a tappetless system to use the excess cylinder volume to move the nozzle so you didn't have to do it manually but we haven't implemented that yet.

Anywhere's a cqb site if you're not a pussy 😂

He looked into it but it wasn't cost effective in the slightest. He'd have to sell the completed unit for at least £500 with all the hardware, printing and man hours that went into it. He was considering selling the files with the correct bits of tube or links to a supplier.

My dad used a compound bow for his so that the draw is the same each time. He's set it up to fire at basr power levels but you could change it to cqb friendly levels by swapping to a lower volume cylinder or adjusting the cams to reduce the draw. He did the maths and even this cheap kid's bow he used is capable of in excess of 9J so he volumed it to be safe for airsoft and used the excess cylinder volume to feed the air back to behind the grip to keep the length down. He also made a buffer system in the front of the cylinder to stop it from tearing itself apart.

My dad built this a couple of years ago. There's also someone else now making and selling their own design.

That second one is exactly what I was after, thanks.

Less than a month and you'll find something new to buy

Where did you get that pack? I tried looking it up but all the results where portable chargers.

We got called out so it had to be posted here.

I have been going back and forth for years and I still can't decide if I actually like the MP9 or not.
