Welcome ? Yep, this is the place ? Check out HERE for sites near you and then find reviews of them. Someone local will probably say Hi In the meantime do plenty of reading in the forum. Lots of info buried here... ?

Yeah they're only dangerous when near full. I got a good reaction driving a nail through one?

Yep, If I sell to someone without UKARA I ask them to agree in a message that they will use it for airsoft purposes only and no illegal activity.

Not going to buy any more pews... DAMIT! I really like the Barry Burton style M9 pistol but its too expensive so I found a cheapo version... The HFC HG193 from the shop that shall not me named. (Was on offer for £99.99 and its the new all metal version. Note the hole in the hammer) It took some tinkering with the internals. (The hop rubber wasn't seated properly and a bit of the slide benefited from some filing) When I got it the fps was 260 but after my tinkering its up to 300fps It now shoots really well (for a cheapo gun) (It does have adjustable hop with a grub screw) The compensator unit is easy to remove with one screw underneath but still holds well with no wobble as it slides onto the rails of the frame underneath. So its easy to convert into a 92X Performance model. (Have to ignore the stupid engraving tho) After my usual treatment of a new pew ? I also added some extra weight to the front. Its now a nice hefty 1.14Kg

Welcome new guys ? That Special Ops sounds like a good place. Bit too far for me though ? Enjoy your game Cowboy. I had a huge grin on my face the whole day at my first event. Even when getting shot ?

Yes

Quite the opposite unfortunately. People who don't know about airsoft find and watch his 'content' but anyone who actually plays knows how much of a knob he is and avoids his shite

Ah cool

Did I miss something?... What new system?

Yeah, too much is certainly bad but I wouldn't go with dry longterm

That's the adaptor that two failed. (Note the port for adding oil) Yes, I would agree that emptying the mags of propane and using maintenance gas 144a would be a good idea.

Yes I forgot about that You may be right but I've seen lots of info recommending to add a bit of oil so I'll stick with that advice. Otherwise why would they add oil to all the other airsoft gas.

To be honest any of those would be a good choice. CYMA and Specna Arms are decent manufacturers. The choice would really come down to which one he likes the look of most. If he really gets into it you should consider getting a LiPo battery and charger. (That can be later on) Don't forget the eye protection!

I did use a can of Coleman Propane as a test but for me the hassle of adding the oil along with two faulty adaptors and the smell put me off. You can get good deals on Ultrair for £5.8 a bottle ASG Ultrair Power Green Gas Propellent 570mm (10 X Cans) (bbguns4less.co.uk)

You can but you'll need to add a bit of silicone oil to the mag fill valve. Airsoft green gas has the oil mixed in already.

ASG, HFC, KWC and SRC do snub revolvers but its going to be difficult finding a Co2 powered one that shoots under 350fps

Or Airsoft 7.4V 2600mAh 25C LiPo Cranstock battery with case LP305 Vapextech

Its mainly common sense really.

The device could be a cardboard box ?

They definitely have more energy capacity and output than NiCads and in smaller packages. The charging is more reliable and automatic. The only downside is the initial cost but it works out over time because they last longer. Search the forum for recommended chargers

Stick em in here: Parts - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk) Can you post lithium batteries with Royal Mail? Packaging guidelines: Each parcel must contain no more than four cells or two batteries installed in a device. For lithium ion/polymer batteries the Watt-hour rating must not exceed 20Wh per cell or 100Wh per battery. A standard 1300mAh 7.4v works out to 9.62Wh and your battery is 22.2Wh so all airsoft batteries are well within limits

First off, Welcome ?? (Sniped by Rostok ?) The Double Eagles are well regarded by many members here (I don't have one) so any of them is probably a good choice. Someone with more experience with them will likely comment further but I believe its really down to your personal choice for the look and metal vs polymer. Longer shooters are less suited to the sneaking around play style but it can still be fun. Longer barrels can be beneficial over much shorter ones but only up to a certain point so don't let that influence you too much. Ideally you want to visit a shop to handle a few different things to feel the difference between metal and poly. Keep around £100 for LiPo batteries and a decent charger. (Several threads about choosing batteries and chargers) And the eyepro, boots, camo, pouches, mags, vest, sidearm, holster, smokes, grenades, BBs ........ ? Found THIS thorough video testing barrel length. Still inconclusive...

If its that hot on Green Gas I'd suggest 144a Gas I'd be curious what fps you get with that. Failing that you should be able to DIY an NPAS to go in the nozzle.
