Welcome While airsoft isn't as accurate as real weapons its still fun to target shoot at shorter ranges. Be aware that even if the land is private you have to be careful if any public would be able to see you. It only takes one call and you have to deal with lots of explaining and hassle.

Turnigy are good too right? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/accuell-s60-ac-charger-uk-plug.html?wrh_pdp=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google_gb_shopping&countrycode=GB&gclid=CjwKCAjwvuGJBhB1EiwACU1AiX9RJQFqrAAwg5yLUUsxS3fKqAMxCINLXzixCgWmKWibtg-JVSe3oBoCwzsQAvD_BwE

As well as Componentshop, my go to's are HobbyKing.com and Vapextech.co.uk

Looks hot - as in sweaty ? Many people realise that lighter is better. Especially with this kind of weather ?

Hard to tell from the editing but did it take all those shots to get a hit? Its quite an impressive range no doubt. As I understand it, you just have to pay Guinness a rather hefty fee to come and 'witness' your record attempt.

Welcome Scott, Sounds like you have a good plan to start at your local site ? Yes, CYMA and Specna are good makes. Be careful buying second hand because its quite common for people to modify their guns and often mess them up so they sell them instead. Beware of sales with 'upgraded' in the description unless you can validate them. Best thing to do now is read lots of the posts on the forum because most questions have already been answered and there may be things you haven't thought of yet.

The B6AC is very good (I have one too) but becoming hard to find. Have a look at one of their latest models around the same price range: SkyRC S60

The honourable thing to do would be send the payment back to TG. Its situations like this that convince them not to sell to UK anymore...

As with others, eyepro determines height but generally as low as possible. I do prefer using irons more tho. Clearer sight picture. Its funny when people spend more on the optic than the RIF ?

For single rifle this is good https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283058925351?hash=item41e7a06f27:g:BFkAAOSwueldX5Pc

You're welcome of course. Yeah, the noise of AEGs did put me off when I first got into it but you get used to it I guess. You can hear when they sound nice and poppy rather than grinding or whining. Almost all pistols use gas and are a lot of fun to use. They also have problems in Winter of course. Electric ones (AEP) are OK for short range and don't have cold problems but just not as fun. You can get Co2 ones but they are more expensive to run and can be too powerful to use. Its legal for your friend to lend or even sell you an airsoft rifle or pistol without UKARA. Just don't let the public see it. This includes neighbours so may be best to explain to them before using in a garden.

Hi and welcome. Sounds like you've got quite a bit of gear you can repurpose already ? Make sure the goggles are enclosed and a decent make. The face protection you linked looks a bit expensive and not very comfortable to me. I use THIS myself. Get good ankle support boots too. Yeah, GBBRs are fun to use and the most realistic plastic BB flingers in airsoft BUT they do have some downsides. - They are expensive and don't have any range advantage over cheaper AEGs - Having to buy gas is more expensive - Making them consistent firing can be a pain. Cleaning and maintenance is very important because the moving parts are more exposed. Parts wear faster than AEGs. - Winter can make them problematic to use. Gas does not expand enough to provide operating pressure when cold. You can get higher pressure gas to compensate but still can be problematic. - Magazines are much more expensive than AEG (electric) versions. - Magazines are much heavier than AEG versions. - But the big drawback is limited ammo. A typical gas mag holds around 30 BBs but an AEG hi-cap can hold over 300 in a single mag. You can reload mags but that means carrying spare BBs AND gas so not something practical under fire. In a fight against someone with an AEG you can use up all your BBs and gas and they'll keep shooting you. Even if you conserve ammo by only using single shots they can spray you with auto fire bursts for longer. Some people do use GBBRs but having experience is important to get the most out of them and not get discouraged by the limitations. MilSim games are more suited to GBBR use and they are more common.

I guess it makes sense that the heavier the recoil the less it will last ?

I was considering a BOLT but my research on recoils brought me to THIS Out of curiosity, anyone tried one to compare? I found one for a good price at Bespoke and the recoil seems amazing to me but I haven't been able to compare to a BOLT or TM. It has a different impulse to my GBBRs of course but its almost more violent to the point that I'm wondering how long it will last ? Unfortunately they're hard to find now.

Its printed wrong because it would be the same the other way up ?

Don't worry this'll be short ? Another good day at Skirmish Wycombe. They do shortish 20-30 minute games usually capture & defend with the roles switched for the following game. There is some interesting terrain and varied structures which makes capturing and defending a bit more interesting. 4 marshals for about 60 players. They are a bit young so don't know how well they'd handle a difficult player. Luckily the times I've played there I haven't seen too much cheating. Lunch is VERY good and they cater to special requirements. Decent airsoft shop and tuck shop. Haven't tried the toilets but they are in a proper cabin.

Yep, as said, the TM MWS is the go-to for best GBBR M4 platform and look at GHK for AKs.

Welcome. I think that means you can add the BAW system. I have one and its amazing! I don't know where you can get it separately but it goes in the stock tube. The motor should be quite a good one as standard but you can always upgrade to something better. Are you running it on 7.4v LiPo? For the heavy recoil guns I would suggest 11.1v LiPo

Thanks guys. I know I can't legally use em but my thinking is that by reducing the output with a crappy antenna there's less chance of drawing attention to their use. Well, the V-Strom Freq are the same as the Analogue 12.5kHz channel spacing so I guess I'll stick to those ? I can understand why you might want some channels open so you can communicate with others on side while also being able to keep to only squad level on others. Would have to be organised beforehand of course. I don't expect to rely on radios at all but I couldn't resist £17 for both ?

Hiall, Just got a couple of 888s and cable to reprogram. (I know they're a bit over powered but I'll be using the stubby antenna which will reduce the output and the site I play at has a commercial license anyway) I'm a bit confused (Yes, easily done) about the correct PMR frequencies to use. I found this: https://icomuk.co.uk/Changes-to-digital-PMR446-Frequency-Bands-in-2018/3996/135/ Do I use the Digital or Analogue spacing? Second question is about the squelch settings. Is there a standard for QT/DQT Decode/Encode settings for each channel? Cheers for any info (Just tested and they do have Beat Shift ?)

I recently got an ICS/ASG XAE BLE from the classifieds. Its actually not that bad. Certainly not up to TM standards of course.

Definitely looks different to me too ? Could be another of these "What colour do you see?" viral internet images. ?

Call them and ask if they know it will fit the ICS

I would guess a real one would fit but unless you already have one why would you want to get a scope that costs more than the gun? Found this one: (non illuminated) https://www.tacticalgeartrade.co.uk/airsoft-4x-susat-scope-for-l85-series-l9a1-black.html No guarantee it will fit but I think it should. Maybe message them to ask if it will it your make.
