    So I had a good if limited time at the Night time battlesim recently. I am unsure if I can write a fair review. Basically, 25 people who booked in never showed up. 40 showed up with half leaving before 3AM because they were not equipped properly and the sim was called off. On the fence about whether to write it up!

      Hope you were refunded appropriately. If you were still standing and the organiser cancelled then that’s not your fault.

      @Steveocee Totally agree! 

       

      I think a review is needed, but put in there what to bring as it may help people attending the next one :D

    Bugger, my completely upgraded MG36 gearbox is perfect, great rate of fire on just a 9.6mah NimH, not much noise considering whats going on inside. 

     

    Unfortunately shooting at 365 FPS on a weak M95 strength ASG Spring. I think I must have done a decent job on the air seal! 

     

    Hopefully going for an M90 or M85 wont cause double feed on single shot as its pretty close to doing that already!

      maybe a wide bore barrel?

       

    2. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      I may need to go that route. I could cut down my current 400mm barrel, but I had matched it with a 4/5 Cylinder. We'll see how the spring change will do. 

       

      I would prefer something more efficient then anything and wide bores go against all of that IMO :)

  3. Asomodai

    So I require a Red torch for my up coming night battlesim, to preserve my natural night vision.

     

    I don't want to spend money...

     

    I took my torch (Which I made a bunch of new lenses out of roughly cut Chinese takeaway Tupperware boxes as the original plastic one broke) and coloured it in with permanent red marker. 

     

    Seems to do the job. If I want to make it redder then I will put layers of clear Sellotape on the lense with a coating of red marker pen per layer.

      I like the chocolate wrapper idea... Feel free to send me any left over chocolate if you cant manage to eat a whole tin!!

    A year old barely used PTS PDR-C for 228 shipped worth it? Sight unseen purchase. 

     

    Its a real looker though I am aware of its short-comings. I can still get it new for 320, which makes me pause, maybe getting a brand new one to make sure there are no wear issues with the proprietary parts...

    Latest SE Tour Review is up. Airsoft GB (Essex)!

    So I got the MP5 back from the tech today.

     

    Shoots lovely and fast with its all new compression gear and barrel and the built in tracer unit for the hop is fantastic. 

     

    Unfortunately the one fault I asked to be looked at still occurs. The hop adjustment lever shakes into a neutral position within seconds of full auto. Looks like it's going back...

      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.

    3. Asomodai

      Asomodai

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

    4. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      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. 

  7. Asomodai

    Anyone got an opinion on Maple Leaf AEG 6.02 barrels? Usually would go with ZCI ones, but the lengths I want are out of stock and quite hard to get hold of (Over 509mm)

  8. Asomodai

    The MP5 is ready to ship back to me after a delay. They also knocked a-lot of money off of the work to say sorry. I am paying much less then I though I would be! Pretty happy bunny :)

     

    They also offered to help with the work on one of my other RIFs that is currently with another retailer to be fixed. 

    1. Druid799

      Druid799

      Amazing ! Me thinks there’s a very good chance the possibility of being named and shamed on a forum for the quite exclusive market they work in has had a positive effect for you ? 

    2. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      @Druid799 I actually believe its a coincidence. I sent them an email asking for an update before I posted the rant. I think the Email itself gave the impetuous to complete the work rather then the off chance of them seeing that post. 

       

      Having said that, this particular retailer had me waiting less then others and responded to email enquiries fairly promptly.

      And having read elsewhere I now know who it was ! 😉

      have to say of recent I have heard a few negatives about there services being not as good as it used to be , shame really as they used to have such a good rep and if I did need to buy in the U.K. they were always my first port of call .

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

       

      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) :P

    Got up early to go to Tactical in Croydon as it was the only site I could visit this month because of scheduling. Charged my batteries, all dressed up with bus times in hand, walked to the end of the road and turned back around back into the house and unpacked. 

     

    Even if I could get there in time the safe zone is too small and I might be setting up on the ground etc. It was the only site I have ever left from early before, 2 and a half hour journey on underground, southern rail, bus and a 40 minute walk. 

     

    Cant be arsed. Maybe I'll book into Bunker 51 for tonight if I feel like it.

      Balls to all that travel for a site I knew was crap !

      Havent played in months, and April weekends have already been booked with family and work stuff, I got so desperate I was thinking of a game at Bunker 51 too.. 

       

       

       

       

      But came to my senses :D  

    4. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      @Albiscuit I decided against that too. Though there is talk of a gas and spring night soon which I'll be up for! 

  11. Asomodai

    Wondering if any other AFUK'ers looking at the latest Legion Battlesim, from Dusk til Dawn 12 hours overnighter. Combat throughout the night. Looks pretty interesting and my Battlebuddy is up for it too. Anyone else going?

    Rats. Just booked coach tickets to go to Bristol for Mothers day weekend and Bristol airsoft aren't skirmishing that particular Friday evening. Unfortunately my Mother likes me and wants me with her on the Sunday!

      @Druid799 Any private games on Saturday the 30th around Bristol? Maybe Friday the 29th in the evening?

      Sorry bud not that I’ve heard off 😢 

  13. Asomodai

    Could it be that I have found the only stock M4 that I actually like the look of? And only costs £120?! Hmm. Dare I join the majority...

      If you take them for what they are cheap and cheerful run all day bombproof gun’s then me personally I think there cracking good guns for the money !

  15. Asomodai

    Anyone got a spare Well MB03/VSR style hop unit lying around? Managed to strip the adjustment lever holes and had to locktite in place for today's skirmish! Blimey. 

  16. Asomodai

    Looking at 9.9V LIFE batteries for my TM Famas. Even after the motor upgrade, very occasionally the motor wont quite turn the gears enough on semi, locks up and needs a quick burst on full auto. This is using a 7.4 lipo. I have used a 11.1v lipo in storage mode and I no longer get the lock up. 

    Even though it has a mosfet, I loathe to use 11.1v lipo on full charge as breaking the Famas means a lot of work to repair.

    Would a 9.9V Life battery be a good halfway house? Looking at this one.

      Nope never have , I just don’t buy in to the whole “stops the connectors burning out / faster trigger response” gumff . Me personally I think if your not spamming the trigger or firing huge bursts all the time then your not going to be pumping that much juice through them are you ? And my 10yr old TM socom recoil proves that , it’s connectors are absolutely fine and the trigger response bit ? seriously ! is the trigger responding point something something of a second REALLY going to make a that much of a difference to a hit or not ? Yea right ! 😂😂

    3. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      Fair enough. I have ordered one for a trial on the FAMAS. I do have a few guns that would prefer the life over a 7.4v lipo. 

    4. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      @Druid799 Just received it last night. Bigger then I thought it would be but firing on semi has no issues. Genuine halfway house between the 7.4v and 11.1v lipo. I may need to buy a couple more slightly smaller ones. 

  17. Asomodai

    Just sold some old guitar equipment. Got a couple of hundred in the account. 

    Should I go for:

    Cyma/ASP SVU Bullpup DMR and Cyma AEP in the Gunfire sale. 

    ORRRR

    TM M93R AEP, plus mags, Leaf suit and a small Airsoft Camera?

      Yeah but it is a G&G etu so it's shite.

       

      But then it's a G&G so at least the rest of the gun will match.

    3. Iceni

      Iceni

      Aug.... :D

      A nice cheap A1 with a full barrel that you can drop onto the TM HC.

      Failing that I'd go for the TM M93r

    4. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      Just bought the SVU without the CYMA AEP. I am going to see if I can stretch to the TM. 

       

      The SVU is a solid as hell platform and now my first Russian gun!

    Anyone else thinking of popping to Red 1 Chislehurst tomorrow? On the fence about going, but would be nice to see a familiar face!

    New SE Tour Site review up! Tech Brigade: Herts.

     

  20. Asomodai

    Just filmed my first Rifle YouTube review. It's 30 minutes long, Rambling, lots of repetition, contradictions etc. But you might learn something about the ARX160. 

     

    1. CiderPunk

      CiderPunk

      That is one thorough review, it's not a gun i'd ever be interested in, all those bespoke parts - ew! but I'd definitely watch further reviews.

    Anybody got a helmet recommendation for someone with a large bonce? Size 63cm... 

    1. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

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

    2. Druid799

      Druid799

      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 .👍

    3. BibbsOnTour

      BibbsOnTour

      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!

  22. Asomodai

    After upgrading the ARX160s short outer barrel to the long barrel kit and switched from the stock 250mm barrel to 404mm ZCI 6.02 barrel, the FPS leapt up by 30 to 365. As it was a quick change system I installed a particularly strong example of an M90 spring, which brought it down to 346FPS. Sounds like perfect compression to me. Amazing for untouched stock compression parts on £105 RIF.

    The latest SE Tour Review is now up! XSite - The Outpost! 

     

  24. Asomodai

    Just got back from the latest Skirmish site to be reviewed. Urban CQB, very interesting day. Somehow my project P90 made it through the entire Skirmish! 

  25. Asomodai

    Stuck an SLD High Torque 22TPA motor in my stock ICS L85 (Which had the anaemic ICS Infinity 2000 in it.) ROF is a little bit better, the response has improved a fair bit and it doesn't sound like a weak old man going number 2 for a change! 

    1. nathan13n

      nathan13n

      I was looking at dropping on of these into my srs. How are you finding the motor? You got it from Ak2M4? 

    2. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      The motors seems solid enough. Be wary though, the screws that keep the armature in the can had a very long head and I had to dremel into my CYMA P90 gearbox to get the motor to sit low enough. 

       

      Its not easy to replace the screws either because its partially threaded and longer then most I have seen. 

       

      This is a torque motor, so great trigger response, but slow rate of fire.

       

      And yes I got it from there.
