That's great news! All the Classic Army toys I have are really nicely made and perform well.

I have a Classic Army MP5 and really like it but I thought they stopped making airsoft toys years ago. EDIT: Did find this one which I assumed would be old stock Classic Army AEG PM5 A5 with Flashlight Handguard - Zero One Airsoft

As far as I know all AEG MP5's have polymer lowers. I think your best option for your budget is the CYMA blue which is a good performer. EDIT: This looks good CYMA MP5 CM.041J (davescustomairsoft.co.uk)

I agree but then they'll probably start posting in existing threads. So any post by a new user would need approval which is probably just as much or even more work for the admins.

To re-iterate whats been said before. (too late to the conversation ?) You have done well to wait until you have UKARA number and then not go out and buy the most expensive toys straight away. The Specna's you chose are good starter guns which you can upgrade or keep as backups in the future. They should perform noticeably better than the rentals as the hops are new and you'll be able to set them properly. Keep some budget aside for vests to hold the magazines etc, good ankle support boots, LiPo batteries and decent charger. (search for recommended in the forum) You probably know, your son will need a one piece full face mask.

OK, well that would be my choice ?

Did it come wired to mr30 from new? Might be a new thing

Yep, totally up to you. (I thought the gun was wired to Deans) Doesn't make much sense that there are 3 wires going into the mr30 which then connects to only 2 wires on the battery. Two wires must be going to one. (Likely a sensor wire for a MOSFET)

Yeah, just chop off the mr30's and replace with Deans. (One wire at a time of course ?) More connectors = wasted power and less space.

That's an easy choice: The R608 is cheaper, looks cooler and most importantly it has a full size hi-capa magazine. The Nighthawk 1911 mag doesn't hold much gas at all

Hey again ? On the AEG front the budget contenders are JG (JingGong), CYMA, Double Eagle (very good for certain models) and SpecnaArms. Generally you can get a decent performing shooter for £120-£200 so I'd guess prices have come down a bit with quality and performance going up a bit. Probably the main difference with AEGs are the batteries as we generally use LiPos now with intelligent chargers. More power in a smaller package. For GBB pistols & rifles the most common is WE-Tech (WE). Decent performers but materials do tend to wear relatively quickly. TM are still going strong and GHK are highly regarded. I'm sure others will chime in so maybe we should do a poll of everyone's opinion for the rankings

Welcome back ? We may end up asking you questions ?

Here you go: Zero One Airsoft FPS & Joules Calculator

Should be: Size: 25.75 x 19.55 x 18.55 mm Volume 3.94 cm3 If not then click on 'Resize model' and select 'Millimeters'

We do have to acknowledge the influence of the morons who want to watch the controversial videos which he caters to in order to attract the views.

You just need to send it to someone with a 3d printer. If you don't know anyone with one then search for companies that can print for you. That part shouldn't cost much. Make sure its done as solid. If you're UK based I got a quote of about £1.94 HERE (Select the part linked above) Choose ASA material and 100% infill

It would look like a mini paintball 'marker' ??

OK this should be the correct part: https://mbf.me/kf7lrx

Ah, I see. Its the upper release button? I think it could be 3d printed. I'll try and make a 3d model of it. UPDATE: Try and download it here: https://mbf.me/3EwTs4 Oh damn, I think I did the wrong bit ???

Have a look at this VIDEO to see if you can spot where it is and let us know the time it is shown. Or look at THIS parts diagram from a TM P90 which may have the same part.

Come on, you have to be more accurate than that to play within legal limits. Use THIS chart to match the skin mark and get an accurate number...

?

Yep, just use the 'Report' option on the top right (three dots) of any post and it will be dealt with asap.

I have mine on a cheap camera tripod (it has a standard camera mount thread underneath) Its handy to be able to set it up in front of the shoot box. All chrono readings will vary between them. You just have to compare to the site results. That's also why its not recommended to get as close to 350fps as possible because the site chrono may measure it a bit higher.

Sorry to hear. For any future use, you can check your UKARA status by calling FireSupport on 01733 247171 Might still be worth sending a letter from your site or renewing your UKARA and letting them know.
