Ah sounds interesting. I decided to book on for an Apocalypse game day as it's my local field.

Where you heading?

Still haven't decided. But will PM you when we decide. Announcing ahead of time just gives the game away to the site organisers ;-).

@DopeYourScope I did love the game area of Apoc, one of the best in Kent. But needs improving on the organisation. 

We would like to go back on day. 

Where the hell do you find these things?

@AK47frizzle Usually with lots of looking on websites that are not in English. This one I completely stumbled across by chance. Looks like it was forgotten stock that just got listed. 

I'd suggest you have a problem, but this is airsoft - we've all got a problem or we wouldn't be here! 😂

Send that bad boy back! (Then buy my Perun ETU++ as it's unskirmished and coming out this evening)

All fixed now! Definitely the Cylinder head pad caused the piston to destroy some teeth. Replaced it with a CYMA White piston and superglued the pad in. All good now! 280 FPS on .28's. Gears need reshimming but will wait until I get a new motor, ZCI Piston, cylinder head and cylinder (Seriously G&G uses a 3/4 Cylinder in a 430 mm barrel??) 

Needs AOE corrected, but it will probably survive a skirmish! 

@Steveocee, is that just the Perun mosfet section that can be used on the G&G ETU? I missed a brand new one for 40 quid the other day. 

@Asomodai

Yeah that's the one, 2 spades and total removal of the monstrosity G&G issued you with.

Have PM'd you 👍

Hiking across Dartmoor beats airsoft every time; my son and I had three days on the moor last weekend, our first visit this year.

@Tactical Pith Helmet Getting to Tuddenham on Public Transport from Dagenham has always been a no go! I have been before, it's not bad at all. But not worth the ballache. 

@colinjallen I decided against it this weekend. I just did a 17 Mile hike around the North Downs and Lower Weald. I may go Airsoft tomorrow, haven't decided! 

@Asomodai Nice!  There are some great routes around that area.

Well, RDB, it's cos it's not a Glock 😂(yeah, yeah, FNX45. That's the just exception that proves the rule 😉 ) 

On the other hand, mine had an issue firing in the cold!! Great gun though.

Sorry that cool af was meant to be a sad face☹

@MiK sadly no. I was learning before the pandemic. Won't be back at it until I get my second shot. 

Don’t leave it too long matey - the learner needs vs driving test availability is absolutely insane atm.

There’s like 13% less ADI’s now compared to before and there was like 350,000+ driving tests to get caught up on, not counting so many learners losing their tests due to theory tests expiring.

I had one client who had their test one day after the first lockdown started……..he wasn’t best pleased but he passed just two days before the 2nd lockdown  

@Prisce

I have my P90 to completely gut. All new parts going in, Gears, bushings, shims, all new compression system, spring. Motor is a TM EG1000 but might even take the armature out and put it into a neodymium can. 

You’ll be fine mate. Take your time, plenty of research before you start, set aside enough time. Put it back together and be prepared to take it apart again multiple times before it’s right.

It took me 13 months from starting till finishing my Custom M4.  But it’s well worth it.

I'll think about it. Hopefully it wont take me 13 months! It's a Christmas only project!

They are getting more cunning with ways to get inside you ! Never drop the soap or tie your shoelaces in front of someone dressed in Multiglam ! 

I feel like absolute crap today, I think I got a case of the MultiGlamz

Ahh but it isn't multiglam.  Its the very subtly different mutation called PCS.  We don't use multiglam in HM Forces.....license costs

@Skara if someone can give me a rough idea how much for them then you'll see!

@Skara. There you go. Selling my M4, my MP5 and one of my XM8s

I feel you.

I have 4 guns and I already feel like they're enough, can't imagine having more than that.

@Druid799

Makes a change from 90% of airsofters who blank or blurr their faces like they are in the SF or something  

Always seemed pointless and laughable to me.. Just put on a face mask if your THAT much of a secret squirrel (or so ugly you need to hide)   

It’s for the Impression😂

chuck a wee o-ring under the screw holding the hop wheel/slider on?

pretty common problem, i've even used blu tac on pistol hops to keep them in place.

@Adolf Hamster that's what I will tell them to do. Otherwise I may suggest to TDC mod it! 

I have been on the phone to the tech, he'll take it back and look into a direct TDC mod. Takes out all the inherent issues of the MP5 hop unit. 

@ak2m4 can tell you. Peter's been selling them for ages with good reviews. How they stack up to stock TM though, I don't know.

Never had a stock TM to compare one with.

What I do know is they beat most stock 6.08 JG/Cyma/APS barrels. There about the same as an LCT 6.02.

You can polish them and they get better if you do that.

If you are in doubt ask @ak2m4 He sells enough of them to know what's what with inner barrels.

There certainly better than anything made from alumimiun. I'd have a ZCI over the like of a madbull any day of the week.

If you really wanted an upgrade you might get one of the newer polished tolleranced Lambda barrels from ak2m4. Those should certainly be an upgrade. The 6.05 lambda 5 with the 1 micron finish should outperform pretty much all stock barrels out there if the polish is right. At £40-50 I will be taking a punt on one the next time I need an upgrade.

Cheers guys. 

I forgot AK2M4 sold them. I have picked up one for my P90 and one for my MP5. 

@Sawyer Only 92MB remaining

I just like showing all of you my nice things. And doing tutorials and site reviews...

cant you upload pics elsewhere then link them back here?

ahah i'ved used 146 mb in 6.5 years

edit: wait hang on, my earliest stuff was auto-deleted  It only goes back to late 2018 for me

@Iceni - I'm always astonished by your knowledge of Airsoft AUGs. It was great reading that, and I don't even own an AUG!

You should write a definitive guide to airsoft AUGs

I've considered it a few times, But the list of mods for them is pretty extensive and not all apply to all models or gun builds. I will do one at some point, but it will be long and as detailed as I can make it. As such it's not something I can enter into without setting time aside to get into the meat of them.

The hop is probably the hardest part to get right. It's too easy to not understand what it actually does in addition to hopping. And when it's wrong you get a gun that will appear to have every problem under the sun. The symptoms can look like short airseal nozzles, mis-feeds, double feeds, total failure to feed, body pins falling out, Gearbox rattle.  Shimming an Aug barrel can cause all of the same problems as well... The unit and barrel has to move freely.

No problems with my Aug after barrel goes in. The High Cycle seems to have a pretty decent barrel set. Unit and barrel is moving freely. 

It does feel great @BibbsOnTour but I already have an MEU mag pistol and its unusable in the winter with the small gas capacity, I think the Desert Warrior has a heavier slide then the Strike Warrior as well...

Maybe I should be sensible and complete my French loadout with a PAMAS (M92 Beretta copy)

Ahh I've not got a GBB pistol (or any side arm) as yet so I'm not that knowledgeable on them but yeah I reckon you should complete that loadout!

@BibbsOnTour I caved and bought the M9 to round out the French loadout. 

I have the D.O.R and yes many parts are not compatible with standard 5.1 parts.

I got mine for £135~ from camo raids.

Really like it but it's my first pistol. I want to stick a tracer on it but it's proving difficult because outer barrels aren't compatible. I ordered this expensive dodad from america to epoxy in to the end of the plastic barrel to fit tracers

Cheers folks. 

At 50% more, I couldn't justify the FNX over the DOR. I have also been offered a new TM PX4 that I am might tempted with! No idea how good they are though. 

Trigger response is the most important thing for me though!

So you extended the flat lower down the shaft then cut off the top extruding part?

@EDcase Yes. I cut off the extruding part to prevent the small possibility of it fouling on the cutoff lever. 

Ah, airsoft "standards. I guess it's fortunate that you had to (and could) shorten it, rather than having the opposite problem.

If he needed persuading, then get away from him ! as quickly and as far as you can ! sounds like he’s infected with the insidious disease that is  ‘will power’ ! 😱

Ahh yes, i've heard of this will-power, think it's a birth defect iirc?

Not his fault i'm sure but nonetheless he needs relinquished of temptation.

Meh GHK AK Master Race > Japanese plastic knitting machine

Darn.  What brand should we be avoiding?

@Rogerborg brand new genuine Xcortech X3200 MK3. Crazy really as I haven't seen much in the way of them being unreliable. 

I just have the worst luck. 

Darn, you must have gone one from the end of the 16 hour shift, when the 5 years olds are getting weak from lack of food.

Lies! I have 4 nippers and a 5th due at the end of Feb. Am already planning NvS in May!

Sorry to hear about your battlebuddy throwing in the towel though, I appreciate sometimes airsoft is also about the social aspect rather than the "shoot fools" aspect.

Have really enjoyed reading your site reviews.

@Steveocee Thanks for the kind words. 

It will be mine and missus first and I dont want to miss the first year at least. She has a dim view of Airsoft as it is! We had a long talk about it and this was the best compromise that we could come up with

For him its his Arthritis, its gotten so much worse in the past 6 months and has only played twice in that period. I have arthritis as well, but I am managing it better for the moment. 

Sorry to hear that @Asomodai...... the reviews winding up that is not the Child 🙁Congratulations on that one.

I always enjoyed reading your reviews as they were balanced and honest without being nasty. Top work so far and I look forwards to reading more when a) Your nipper is a year old and b) you have passed your driving test. 👍

Ta mate

 Bit of a nightmare getting there due to the train closures though! 😞

I love my JG MP5 bought it second hand off a friend who is a very good AEG tech, it runs 345 ish fps and is stupidly accurate. Cheapest gun I own and the one I use the most 

They certainly aren't bad! Why we started stocking the higher end JG stuff, have been running a JG ak and havent had a change to stress test an MP5 apart from running stupid amount of BB's through one, hows it going on game days?

Bloody great ! I get an occasional feed issue with the standard hicaps but I usually run with one of those 'double' mags which looks cool and never has any feed issues. That and a bag of BB's sees me through most games.  Its stupidly accurate and matches any other AEG on our woodland site for range. I seriously can't fault it and am tempted to pick up the non suppressed version just for the 'standard' look. Here is mine

Oh wow that looks so fun but I would have just started my training 🤪

Sounds like fun, but not having any nv would sure make it suck. 

I'd be up for that

wohoo, im speshial!!

As always a good read. You were lucky to get all three floors as I usually see it being restricted to just the top two!

I have added my points to the review
