EDcase

Yeah, needs some hard wearing lacquer. The only advice I can give, you probably already know... Make sure its clean and free from any oils before applying.

Welcome 🤚 Its a bit before my time so I don't know what may have changed mechanically since then but the minimum you should do is open up the gearbox and clean/re-lube. You'll likely need to change the piston O-ring and change the main spring. I'm sure others will comment with better info.

Yeah, just plastic fantastic. From the video's I've seen they're junk. No hop and only a few meters with any accuracy. Feel sorry for the Aussies that only have that to play.

That's a bummer and really scamy if sold as a V2. You should contact them to return it.

The v2 definitely has the standard hop system

Welcome 🤚 Presuming you are in the UK Your parents will not be able to buy a non two tone (RiF) unless they have UKARA registration so the only option at the moment is two-tone. It may be disappointing but its easier to show they are toys if someone sees you playing in the field. You have to make sure BBs do not leave the area of the field and you must stop play if someone is nearby who can get hit with a BB. Oh, and make sure you and friends have good eye protection. That can get serious real quick.

NVM I put it in classifieds

I'll say its better to get an extra magazine for your rifle than go for an AEP. I used to carry a pistol too but only used it a couple of times at all and the hassle of prepping it and clearing after a game was almost not worth it. Only snipers and DMR truly need a secondary. I still think the Raven is good enough to get a feel for their use without breaking the bank but if you can't even afford gas then best forget the idea until you have more money collected.

As said before, the options you have listed (or any in that price range) will be a good start and will perform about the same. Just get the one you like the look of most.

Clearly the Raven (Nuprol) being so cheap will be lower quality than more expensive options but its an introduction to blowback pistols within your budget. If it doesn't work properly you can return it. Keep in mind it probably won't last as long as more expensive options but it may be OK. I have a few by Vorsk which are also budget options by Nuprol and they perform adequately with no problems so far.

As above, I would urge you to forget an AEP. They are quite inefficient and underwhelming. HERE is the lowest price GBP that will give you the experience of proper blowback action but may not be as accurate or consistent with more expensive ones. Of course you'll need some gas and I recommend THIS one. (Of course its cheaper if you buy in bulk) OR THIS one is quite highly regarded as more powerful but without the blowback action (which is half the fun in my opinion)

Yeah, usually there's an unused line in the address field. Joe Blogs, UKARA ABC1234 1 High St, Sunnyville, KT10 1KT

The mAh is not a measure of the power when you pull the trigger. Its the total power it can hold so how long it should last. I think those batteries are faulty especially if you say other batteries work.

That does seem to be a low battery but very strange as its an 11.1 Your Imax B6 looks quite different to mine. (I have the V2) There should be a specific battery test mode in the top menu.

Welcome back 😁🤚

Skirmish Wycombe was quite good last time I went. Have a look here: https://playairsoft.uk/map

Duno what rps you'll get but I imagine around 20? (Don't try and get ridiculous rps as that gets regarded as a wanker gun)

Could you use both?

Not sure if these need 7.4v or 11.1v (I'd always go for 7.4v to be safe but someone will confirm) I'd suggest something like: https://www.vapextech.co.uk/airsoft-7-4v-2600mah-25c-lipo-cranstock-battery-with-case-lp305-vapextech The Milliampere Hours (mah) determines how much total power a battery holds (ie how long it will last) The C rating determines how much power it can deliver per trigger pull (20c is the lowest and 30c is usually the highest you can get) Remember you will need a GOOD intelligent charger to take care of these batteries and prevent fire. This is the cheapest I can find with a quick search. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-accucell-us-plug-c150-ac-dc-10a-150w-smart-balance-charger.html

Also to reiterate what Rogerborg said: If you leave something in your basket for over 24hrs they usually offer you a discount.

When I buy from abroad I always include my UKARA with label in the address to make sure it appears clearly on the box. Not had a problem with customs but had to pay taxes a couple of times.

Sounds like the output valve is a bit sticky. You'll need to remove it and clean (possibly replace) the seals. You just need a valve key like THIS.

I bought from them without problems. Make sure you know what you're buying as they do sell some tat

Welcome ✋ You'll have even less time free because you'll be on here so much 😄
