Yeah Co2 can make up for smaller gas reservoir but I got put off Co2 years ago by the faffing around and expense when the seals go.

You're clearly young, easily influenced or him incognito. The fact he's been banned from so many sites should tell you the truth about him...

The single stack 1911 mags definitely suffer from lower ammo and gas capacity which is why you don't often see them in skirmishes. That's the realm of the Hi-Capas Depends how much you rely on pistols in games and they're fine for collecting and plinking of course.

Welcome. Its best to spend a few days searching and reading posts about starting in airsoft before buying anything. This will give you a MUCH better idea of what to look at buying.

I'll play devils advocate. Normally I would stay away from anything related to Nuprol (which Vorsk is) but I bought the Vorsk VP-X mainly for the looks and to plink a bit as it was on sale so very very cheap. Its certainly not the greatest pistol out there but it does shoot BBs and its cheap enough that if it does fail unrepairably then I'll be happy I got my moneys worth of fun out of it. So go for it. Take care of it an don't expect it to last forever. Definitely let us know how it goes so we can advise future buyers.

Welcome Have a look HERE for sites nearby. Skirmish Wycombe and Red Alert in Newbury are my faves so far

A few years ago a guy who was a film armourer was selling a load of ex film weapons in A2 Supplies when it was in Reading. He said that all airsoft weapons were missing motors as it was a safety precaution. I bought an MP5 supposedly used in the first 'Jason Bourne' film and sure enough it had no motor. They'll only use GBBs for 'hero' guns when firing. Without blanks it will be much easier for the armourer to be sure they're clear before handing to an actor. Even if something gets stuck in the barrel it won't be deadly like previous incidents.

I'm certainly no expert but my thoughts on what I would check... BB's dribbling out the barrel indicates a failed hop rubber. Feeding problem could be damaged nozzle, tappet plate or magazine issue (fitment or feed lips etc) As for upgrades. There are different opinions on efficiency of tight bore so maybe just look for anything the correct length. 350fps is basic performance so probably don't need to change anything in the gearbox for that. So the main thing to look for is a new hop rubber. I think 75 degree is recommended for 350fps but you'll have to do some research on the favourite flavour right now 😏

Edit: Sniped by Asomodai If you had UKARA you could gift a RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm(Black)) but without that you can gift him an IF (Imitation Firearm (Two tone coloured)) because that's what you're allowed to buy yourself.

Agreed. Most likely the S&T so £260 new

Or the SnowWolf available HERE for £220

Welcome 🖐 Have a look here for sites UK Airsoft Map — PlayAirsoft I'm sure someone will give some ideas

Can you still get those keyring things to find your keys which beeps when you whistle? EDIT: Yes, something like THIS Would need electronics integration so that it only activates/listens after going off.

The MK1 doesn't do much for me. If it had a delay then boom sound (white noise) for a few seconds it might be worth pursuing in my view. But the MK2 definitely has marketable potential as long as its priced right and up to the point a certain country makes a cheaper copy... My input would be if you could give it a thin rubber/neoprene outer to protect it and the victims. That would help it being accepted at sites (most allow rolling BFGs and dropping through windows)

Check HobbyKing and Vapextech as well

10 points for ability 1 for style 😄

Don't worry, we all started as boobs noobs 😁 For CQB 0.2g is fine. (The tracers will come in handy too) When you play in woodland 0.25 or 0.28 will work well. You'll have to adjust the hop of course but easy to do at the site range.

In a normal cycle you'll hear the motor run before it fires. What you have to do is let go of the trigger as the motor is running but before it fires. Usually a quick tap will do it but try several times to get the timing.

That's not much over. Can you test in your garden to set the hop so it fires nice and straight. This will reduce the fps a bit if the hop was set low. A definite way to lower fps a bit is to set it to auto and pull the trigger quickly so that it stops mid-cycle and leave it like that for a couple of days. You'll need a chrono to test it though.

Hope not. That shit gets messy

Yeah the O-ring on the piston is meant to be a bit loose fitting in its groove. When the piston moves forward in the power cycle the air in the cylinder compresses and goes into the holes in the piston face. This expands the O-ring to make a good seal without binding. Then on the return stroke the loose O-ring allows for air to pass easily and not restrict movement of the piston backwards.

The best carrier that actually allows RIFs is Parcelforce48
