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. 👍

you gave it a good shot mate, feeding issues get us all at some point 

@Zarrin they all have new tappet springs as none of them have had more then 1 skirmish!

@ak2m4 think I'll need to order more stuff. Might as well if someone who knows what they are doing are taking these in 🙂

I was reading a post on another forum regarding a feeding issue , couldn’t remember exactly what tupe

of gb but someone commented that it could be the lips on the mags , He also suffered from the same problem and after doing some tweaking got it working , I’m not saying it is this but it was his thinking outside the gear box that fixed it ,...pun intended  

@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!

And to give it a bit more fun when laying down the suppressing fire mix your ammo , 2’s/25’s/and even chuck in some 28’s if you have them .😈👍

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.

I don't know about in a vsr, but I run one in my SRS and it's awesome 😄

They are great if your gun is overvolumed, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

I mean, the whole concept of the CJ revolves around using that extra air to create a cushion + stabilize the bb at the end.

Does fuck all if you don't have extra air to spare tho :P

@Skara Mine is slightly overvolumed at the moment. So it could be useful. 

My issue is that I cannot find another decent barrel which is close to 505mm long without cutting one down. I would rather not do that on a precision sniper barrel which relies on good workmanship to get the best out of it. 

Sounds like an excuse to me.

@Albiscuit afraid we have to pull out. my mates missus got sick overnight and he wont go. Shame as packing up both LMGS kit last night took ages. Have a good time today though!

No probs, wondered why I couldn’t find you   

Happy birthday though!

Just be thankful that it wasn't destroyed and I didn't have to deploy:

Liek dis if u cry evrytiem 😢

If you dont copy and paste this message 100 children will die and Jesus will depart the earth. Retweet now or you dont love your family!!

Seriously though, good news. This is why I try to order from the UK as much as possible, and dont sell abroad on ebay (been stung on that too)!

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

FPS is important though guys. If you have the exact same setup but one gun has a higher fps, the amount of energy the bb retains in the higher fps gun increases and so the bb will travel further. People get confused between the relationship though. The only reason you should be using a higher fps is to effectively use heavier weight ammo to retain more energy for longer. 

Prommy barrels aren't magic on their own but the tolerances the barrels are produced with are very consistent + the material is better than stock barrels.

Flat hops work very well because it allows heavier ammo to be hopped much more effectively by increasing the surface area contact with the bb. Unfortunately, the only way to see these benefits is to in fact use the heaviest weight ammo you can. 

It's not so much that fps is important on its own, but it helps everything else take more effect.

Should have really clarified... FPS means nothing unless your hop is decent and is married up with a decent nub and rubber. Yes FPS is key but unless you get the first part right you could be shooting 450 but not able to get your ammo more than 30m

Imagine what your TM could do it if it were shooting at 1J rather than 0.58J.

Imagine what your mate's EVO could do it it had been upgraded properly.

Hi @Asomodai 👋

Saw it just lying there, my mental health was dodge at all costs, literally!!!! 😮

Did admire it and wonder where the player was…. A free RIF, just lying there? 😂👍

Hopefully catchup for another game? 🤔

💷GAMBLE💷

Where was this?

@Dino All revealed in my review

All of mine are imitations no real ones in my gaff, not me!

Can't be me - only four imitation firearms found

fucking twat though, nice flat but fuck all common sense

I saw a video of him firing what seems to be a dessert eagle out the window. It’s loud and shells are ejected. Had Glocks and a machine gun from all accounts.

Something was real though, Even a sound hog doesn’t sound like a real gun

@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. 

You now have smug face ! 😁

I don't know if the Spec Ops site counts as a good 'un for snipers - there are definitely some decent sight lines, there are ghillied-up Groots and Wookies on most game days and they seem happy enough.

The bright lights of Milton Keynes can be yours for the taking   Bonus points to MK for the fact it's on the M1 with the coach station only a few miles from the site, and the Euston > Birmingham line for the train is near the town centre, so it's piss-easy to get to.

Happy to buy you a pint (but one'll be about as much as I can afford at the moment) to say 'thank you' for the TM AUG you sold me!

Extra bonus points to MK  - you can visit Bletchley Park and see the excellent crypto museum.   And the National Computing museum.  
And in the town center is a Retro Gaming arcade, if 70's arcades are your thang

Any L/XL real helmet should do the job.  If you're after a chinese knock off you're pretty much out of luck. 

See if you can find any one with one of the airframe knock offs you could try on ,my boy has a ridiculously huge melon and it fits him ok .👍

I got the L/XL "Ops Core Tan Sand DE SWAT Tactical Maritime ABS Helmet" from HWAirsoft and it fits me fine, has more padding to stick in it if you need a tighter fit too as well as the dial to tighten it up. I've got all the padding in and near enough tightest setting and I'd have said my head is pretty big so I reckon that'll sort you out!

I'm goin! i'll be rockin' my AFUK patch say hi

@CiderPunk awesome! On the underground heading there now. Rocking the tricked out FAMAS. 

PM your address and I’ll post it . If its of use to you just mail back the M4 one

Much appreciated mate! I have pmed you. 

have a few lying around, mostly g&g i think if that's any help?
