I believe the SAS suits were dark blue not black

I haven't. Just put the battery on a baking tray

I hope you checked that your AEG can take 11.1v 7.4v is the standard If your Li-Po charger has a Li-Ion setting then 'yes', otherwise 'no'. I know the 'SkyRC iMax B6' can but they're hard to find now. (Beware of copies) Look for SkyRC Search the forum for more info

Its the AM-014 model https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/ares-amoeba-honey-badger-014-airsoft-rifle-black/

For reference since its out of stock ? https://www.crw-airsoft.com/sas-crw-gen1-coverall-replica-by-tgc-size-4xl-1509-p.asp

Welcome! Yep, to combat bots and encourage participation you need to have a certain number of posts to unlock certain things like the classifieds. (Not sure how many but I guess 10 or so) Have a look around and comment in a few threads. You get to the required number before you know it.

Why, can't shoot straight? ?

The law states that a buyer of a RIF must be over 18 and have a valid defence. This is done by retailers with 'defences' such as UKARA, Reenactment Society membership, Museum Curator, Film/TV production. For private sales its the sellers responsibility to ensure the buyer is a legitimate airsofter. You can sell to anyone (if you think they are legit) BUT if that person then commits a crime with the RIF then it can come back to you being prosecuted depending on the gravity of the crime. (Has there been a case of a seller being prosecuted?)

Depends how much you can afford. The most common will be the CYMA CM033 which it quite good for the price. Note that only the top half is metal even though they may say all metal body. Still feels good. You can buy real wood version or get a wood kit to put on. There is also a TM version which I think also metal upper only but not sure on that one. Then the most expensive and hard to find are the WE / CYBERGUN GBBR versions. All metal but fake wood in most. Search for video reviews

Could argue that its a licence to kill ? Bendan, No particular place has everything. Patrolbase and FireSupport are good but google what you want and when you find it see if there's a review of the shop in the forum.

Ah yes, I saw they had them but in CW thread.

Out of curiosity, where'd you get it?

Its likely a problem with the actuator bar, safety selector or contacts. Hopefully no need to get in the gearbox.

I'm no expert but it does sound like the battery is underpowered. You might need a 25c minimum for that build. Couple of questions that might help others diagnose the problem: Does the motor get warm/hot? Did you test the shimming and piston travel with the gearbox fully tightened up?

Is it broken? Should have a 2-stage trigger. Light pull for semi and full pull for auto. You'll have to learn to be light fingered ?

Ah, its too late for you then. No, it will never end and then you'll start tinkering with the internals to 'improve' them ? I take it since you didn't know what to expect, you didn't look up any videos of airsoft? Would be worth reading lots on the forum to catch up on things ?

Run away while you still can!!!

Skilled players only need semi... ? ...I need to upgrade to over 30rps...

Welcome Brendan, Don't worry, most of us started on our own. Even if no one from the forum is around just get chatting to people there and ask any questions. Most will be happy to help you out. You'll soon have a group of regulars to chat with.

Nice ? Yer back in the good books ? They're becoming hard to find now as with many things ?

A likely story. How long have you been into airsoft and you only just got one... ...very suspicious ?

The secret's out. He's a sneaky paintballer ? PS. The XM177 is one of my faves ?

Yes, that's the most likely reason.

And of course the criminals won't be affected and still get their real ones smuggled into the country. Unfortunately its an ongoing issue... Yeah they're more of an issue in the UK but knives are easier to deal with by police once confronted.

Yeah his must have a very low power spring (as he states). Mine's doing 430 on 0.2 I just had it all open to check internals and install a bearing spring guide. Working on it isn't as bad as 'someone' made it out to be.
