  1. Ah shes lovely mind! My tech actually doesn't mind the gearbox at all, 4 gears... yes. So you cant change gear ratios very much. But its actually easy enough to work on from what I understand. Needs upgraded Air Nozzle though, existing one was rough cut and didn't have an O-Ring.
  2. Finally got all the bullpups together for the first time. Most are as fully upgraded as can be. The Tavor, PDR-C and the Ares Soc-AR are next to be upgraded.
  3. Newbie Suppressor question. Many suppressors for Airsoft call themselves "Fake Suppressors" Is this because they don't actually suppress sound or because they are not used on real firearms?

    Reason I ask is that I want to get a suppressor for my bolt action to help dampen the sound somewhat. The only suppressor I own is just an empty metal case and I am unsure if this is what is meant by a "Fake" supressor" Do any suppressors work?

      Foam filled "suppressors" do reduce the sound. The air that comes out makes a noise and masking that helps a bit. If you fire your empty gun with and without holding your finger over the barrel, i'm sure you'll be able to tell.

      oil filter is supposed to work on actual firearms

      so on that basis if anything is REALLY going to work

      it will be one of those bastards

      (google oil filter suppressor)

       

      most suppressors just change or slightly dampen the sound

      they are like farts, some are more quiet than others

       

      and love is like a fart...

      if you try to force it too much - it will probably be shit

       

      you could a piston brake or silicone pad over sorbo can lower the piston slap...

       often wondered about all those baffles/padding etc...

      but it must work of a sort coz going the other way...

       

      Don't buy a daft sound hog or FireHawk tip to become a loud annoying player on the field...

      Just cover/tape up a M4/M16 flash hider to make a massive CRACK for no costs at all

      So in theory going the other way some sort of "venting" or "slots" as well as the dampening material inside should perhaps dissipate the dulled sound ???

       

      NB: this is just a theory based upon the M4 CRACK you get if you cover the flash hider

      (try it - really makes a loud crack)

      So if an enclosed hider amplifies then maybe - just maybe a vented sponge might just might be a little more effective too perhaps

      Dunno - but I did wonder about all this crap coz most of it just changes the sound of the air, yet most of us still have grindy AEG's making the most sound

       

      The padding deffo does "something" though

      if you unscrew one them cw/ccw suppressors, pull out the spring/padding

      it makes a friggin' amplified CRACK too...

      just wondered if a cheapo slotted or swiss cheesed one would maybe be more effective ???

       

      ignore almost all of this coz I'm just talking crap coz I'm bored atm

      You want to dampen the sound?

      Unless you have an airbrake I suggest to glue/pressure fit a rubber door stop onto the cylinder head, so that it dampens the impact of the piston head. An alternative would be to use a big fat o-ring in place of the door stop.

       

      Did it on my Striker and it killed the sound so much I can easily run without a suppressor and still be quiet as hell.

       

      On a suppressor there are a few things you can do.

      Scotchbrite disks in place of foam and plastic/rubber baffles.

      A fart flap helps a lot in lowering the sound but it needs to be done right otherwise it'll just throw your shots way off.

       

      Also, something that most 'softers don't care about is a correct volume ratio for the bb weight.

  4. Found a Forearm picatinny rail I didnt know existed for the standard Tavor handguard. 12 euros later...
  5. Great photo of myself with the T97B, Airframe, Laser cut MBSS vest and the french camo. Note I am covered in Burdock balls! Credit goes to @ImperiumBattleGrounds and @Atdarzairsoft
  6. Have to ask how much this would cost? Or if sold, how much to build another? Could really do with this in my FAMAS loadout...

  8. Same... How odd. Did you replace the Hop arm? Maybe I should order one now. Or maybe a whole new assembly at this rate!
  9. I didnt realise you had problems with yours as well. Is yours the Fixed hop one or the M9 US adjustable like mine?
  10. Yeah. Its cheaper to get an I-Key then replace the M9 Arm! If its still not working then I will fork out for the replacement arm.
  11. UFC High Forearm picatinny rail for my Umarex Tavor. Something for a nice foregrip! 3x Maple Leaf I-Keys for my TM M9 US, TM Gold Match and TM DOR Perun Mosfet for my Tavor Amomax Hicapa Retention Holster. Cant wait to stop using the drop leg! 12000 .25 PJ Proslick bbs for the LMG 8000 .30 PJ Proslick bbs for ARs 3000 .36 PJ Proslick bbs for my DMRs 1000 BLS .48 BBs for the bolty. M4 Magazine style 1000 round bottle for my high caps.
  12. Following on from the Real Sword goodies. Mine are getting an outing tomorrow at Imperium Airsoft in Kent.
  13. They are Asian limited editions. Laylax made the skin. Not worth anymore then the average M93r.
  14. £21 to £25 is the new price these days. Mine were all second hand though in pretty good nick, practically unused, £115 for the 10. Not a fan of the pull handles though, I have taken those off.
  15. These might stop me from being a high cap hero from now on. Feeds in all of my M4 based rifles (Even my T97s which are pretty bad for compatibility.) They weren't cheap...
  16. Are you using mid cap mags? You might have midcap syndrome if you are using full midcaps. Use a half filled Midcap and test your FPS.
  17. 7 more PTS EPM 150rd midcaps. Bringing my total to 10. They feed so nicely in my RS T97s, PDRC and the Ares SOC AR. As long as they fit in my ARX160 then I should be golden!
  18. Bought a new Plan Beta ICU 2.0 gun camera recently. It came like many of them do with a leaky 3.7v lipo. Wouldnt work without it being plugged in. Considering it would have cost me more time and money to get a replacement which is also likely to have a leaky lipo. I decided to buy a replacement battery from China for 4 quid. Removed the old leaky battery. Soldered in the new one and wallah. It works with battery 🙂 My new cheapy action cam on my airframe helmet and mount. I wanted to use it for the first time tomorrow. But looking like the weather will be out of the question. Need to play around with it some more anyway!
  19. The AK looks pretty mucked around with the tape. Admitted to being skirmished loads. £200. Brand new from Fire Support with a warranty for just £209. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-ak-74-ris-version-with-fixed-stock-airsoft-gun-aeg
  20. People from BRISTOL. Are any of you playing either Black Ops Portishead or the Courts in Bristol on Sunday? I may be able to squeeze it in on a trip to see my folks.

  22. Latest SE Tour Review is up! Ultimate Wargames in Fawkham Kent. 

     

  23. Site Name: Ultimate Wargames Fawkham Contact details: 07467 945320 Website Address: https://www.ultimatewargames.net/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/UWGfawkham Site Address: 1 School lane, Fawkham, Kent DA3 8NY On a whim I decided to go to Ultimate Wargames Fawkham (02/02/2020 and 30/04/2022), this is one of the most difficult sites to get to for me on public transport and walking. Taking 3 underground trains, National Rail and a 60 minute walk to get there (Luckily a regular and his mum saw me at the side of the road and picked me up to take me there the last mile. They also gave me a lift to the station after) The site has been established for some time, but is not massively well advertised or talked about. Reviews have been somewhat negative, citing lack of chrono, small site and favouritism to towards the home team. This is a small sized woodland site, with a large field in the middle with a CQB section which is detached from the main field. There is a gentle slope but no real deviations in height. There is only 2 or 3 purpose built buildings, including a twin tower section which was used predominantly throughout the day, another small rectangular building and a small bunker. No water features. Short and medium engagement distances were in use throughout the day. The CQB field which was added during the pandemic has multiple buildings, fences and barricade. It is an excellent area which is not the usual style of American killhouse plywood. The site seems more a club then anything because of the ratio of regulars to occasional players. There was only about 17 players on the day. 60 players are considered a huge turnout, so if you like small numbers this site might be one to consider. The Vegetation was mostly high trees with high branches and areas of nettles at a low level. So cover was at a bit of a premium when standing up. Though if you don't mind lying down with pointy nettles, you can easily hide well enough to get the drop on people. Good: Fun Moments: I had a fantastic time at this site. Morning was a bit slow, but the Afternoon was just fun game after fun game. I had a great personal performance kicking ass with my FAMAS and pistol. The low numbers really helped (I hate too many players!) Saturdays and regular game days: Unlike most sites, this one opens almost every week. Half of the time on Sundays and the other half on Saturdays, So if you are looking for a game, chances are there is one here most weekends. Clientele: The vast majority of the clientele were made up of under 18's. But every single one of them were respectful, excitable, tactically minded and a credit to the future of the sport. They had modest equipment, but knew how to use it on the field. Were very polite in asking questions and were happy to listen to advice. They put many adults I have played with on other sites to shame. The adults were fine as well! Marshalling: A great thumbs up here. 2 player marshals all day and they really added to the day, I had concerns about hit taking from a certain player and they asked me who it was and that they would follow them. Very proactive, very friendly and they had a quick game turnaround. Safety Brief: Was fairly standard, covered all the salient points. No complaints. Game modes: We mostly played fallback games and team annihilation. If the weather didn't make the CQB section bogged down then we would have used that during the day, apparently they run an Airsoft TT game mode (Ala house Gamers Airsoft) on occasion. The games were clearly well planned and tested, which means there is little to go wrong. Every game felt competitive. Average: Playing area: When I first went to the site there was just the one section where there wasn't much in the way of man made structures, there was no unique selling point. The old CQB section was too boggy to use due to the poor weather and is a typical American killhouse style which I am not a fan of. The vegetation was varied for the size of the site and the field area was nice but not in use for a whole lot. I think more structures, maybe a trench system would be ideal to help change the site up. On my second visit they had added a large CQB area to the site. It has loads of fencing, buildings, stationary vehicles and barricades. It is not uniform and it is totally worth going to play in. Chrono: A mandatory chrono was in affect though no guns were marked. AEG FPS limits are a 350FPS. DMR is 420 and Bolt actions are 500. Chronoing on .2's is preferred rather then joule rate, Green Gas blowback pistols are not chronoed in the Winter. Food: Food orders are made when you sign up in the morning. Lunch is a burger, chips and a drink for £5. Though I didn't enquire about other food options, it wasn't offered or advertised either. The burger and fries were cooked fresh and NOT reheated. They also had burger relish which I personally love which you don't see at most burger serving sites! Parking: There was quite a bit of parking available especially considering the low turnouts. Its not far from the safe zone, however it was pretty muddy, so make sure you have tyres with a bit of grip. Safe Zone: Is pretty small. Picnic tables available to everyone who turned up, around 70% of them are under cover, the shop and kitchen are in portacabins. The safe zone does get pretty muddy though so watch your step. Looks a bit tired. Shop: I didn't see much of it, though i did see a few pistol boxes, mostly WE stuff. Random gas and bb's. It wasn't the best. Bad: None. Conclusion: After my second visit, I have to say I really like this site the Clientele, Staff, Game modes and overall experience it was a great day and would love to play more. The physical features have been much improved with the addition of the CQB section and make this totally worth a visit! I really enjoyed my day, if it was closer to me I would go more often. I definitely recommend this for young players. Bullpup Watch: My L85 and FAMAS, one SRS Note: Cant comment on the toilets, as I didn't need to go! The below photo is best guess. Seems like Google haven't updated the map on the area for sometime.
