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.

Your best chance is to post in Wanted section Parts & Gear Wanted - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk)

Welcome (back) 😁 Check HERE for sites near you. Then you can check reviews of particular ones Fastest way to be UKARA registered is play 3 games at the same site. Check if they have a time limit. Best advice is to read everything in the forum 😀

Yep, 2x1300mAh easily get me through a day though I keep it on semi and try not to waste shots. (Still get through about 2000 BBs though 🤣)

Whatever gets decided it should be soon... There's a load more 🙄 I don't know what is used as a bot test these days but maybe changing the question? And maybe having a couple of different ones? Or is it possible to put a filter on posts to detect a list of chemicals

-Retracted-

Some of us do understand your frustration getting info but to be honest there's too much to put in one thread. It is necessary to search first then ask for particular subjects. (Most questions have already been answered so a search is usually the fastest way to get an answer)

Chrono readings vary even with the same make so don't try to get to the limit of fps because at a site it may read too high.

Don't get sarky The ratings DO matter because they determine how long the battery will last.

Welcome Leo, Interesting thread. I'm not much into tech'ing so can't comment really. I would guess some upgrade choices are base on parts availability over here. As for ROF question, personally I HATE high rates as it spoils the gameplay and if everyone went in that direction it would make games shite. High ROF is for children with no skill 😆 Some of the most fun games I've had were playing in single shot. I'm sure you'll get more tech related replies...

Definitely sounds like a scam of some kind. Have you tried to reply? There is a chance its legit but proceed with caution.

I'd say its similar to gambling or investing. Don't put in more than you're willing to loose. A bad fall can show how delicate our toys really are. Yes, they can usually be repaired but as BigStew said, that's IF you can find parts and they could be expensive.

Hi and Welcome As Shamal said, check out HERE to find game sites near you. In the simplest terms you have to play 3 games at the same site within a certain time (3 months) (Most sites don't really care about the timing. Most people will rent a gun (you can buy your own mask & goggles) If you know anyone with a spare gun then you can use that without having to rent. Once you've played 3 games at that site you can request to get registered with a UKARA number. It should be free but most do charge a fee Without UKARA (+18) you can buy a Two-Tone (Imitation Firearm) [IF] It will come from the shop painted 50% with the most common colours being Red, Blue or Green With UKARA (+18) you can buy a (Realistic Imitation Firearm) [RIF] Hope that helps. Loads more info in the forum so dive in and enjoy 😁

Welcome Sean Second hand can be a bit of a gamble but people with good reputation on this forum are a safe bet. (Still use PayPal goods & services as Oth21 said)

Not difficult to fix with a soldering iron. Where are you based?

Not bought from the forum then?

Yep, tappet plate would be first thing I would check.

Welcome Jeff (Same age as me 😉) Have a look HERE for nearby sites As said above, get some experience renting before spending too much money. Buy the essentials like mask, goggles & boots and make do with the basic rental gun. If you enjoy that experience you'll love it even more when you get your own pew pew. See what other players use and ask questions if you like anything particular. Most will be very willing to tell you all about it. Don't worry about going on your own, many of us did too. You'll soon meet others on a regular basis and it goes from there. During play we seldom stick together anyway.

Once was enough for me 😆

Its the main seal in the mag that's the problem. It is quite robust but when it does fail it can be a pain to sort out because if it leaks you loose a gas bulb every time you test it.

I can recommend the WE M9A1 Gen2 (though I don't use the auto) Nice and weighty with such a smooth action.
