South Australia agrees with the bottom left one.

With the caveat that manufacturers can change things between iterations and versions without notice, yes, the Double Eagle M9xx guns have a quick change spring, and don't require the gearbox to be removed to access it.

If it's taken 5 years to fix it, I'd question the quality of advice that we've been giving.

If you really loved it, you'd set it free.

Looks like it celebrated its 15th birthday on Epstein Island.

They can go up to 3W, but the last time we had this <ackchyually> handbag fight, I think we came to the conclusion that the 888S / 88E models come pre-set to low power 0.5W (and the PMR channels). You can reprogram them to full power, but it's only the act of transmitting above PMR power levels that's the offence, so whether they're (strictly speaking) "PMR" or not is fairly academic. And in any case, if you stick to PMR channels, you'll never interfere with, or come to the attention of, anyone who matters, even at a throbbing 3 or 5W. I reckon the 888S / 88E makes a decent argument for itself as a cheap turn-on-and-talk solution.

And you don't want silicone anywhere near the hop rubber. Isopropanol from the hop unit forwards, actual grease / high viscosity oil on the gears. Silicone only on the o-rings, and grease is better than liquid (although I do occasionally scoosh some liquid up the nozzle for a quick air-seal refresh).

I agree on the weight: I only have one metal bodied gun, and that was only to use as the basis for a DMR to have as little flex as possible. Plastic is just fine, apart from the sub-£100 CYMAs and vendor trash from the BBgunz4u style sellers. If you really want to go lightweight, you could consider joining the (plastic) MP5K Master Race.

There are dozen of M4s that you can look into, but there's no magic formula to find the perfect one. Whichever one gives you a tingly feeling in your swimsuit area is the right one for you.

I've eaten a Bournville, and had a dalliance with a Bolivian girl, if that gets me in the gang even with associate membership.

Eh. The Double Eagle Falcon fire control system is much better than the X-ASR mosfet on the EDGE/CORE, but not quite as fully featured as the ASTER on the EDGE 2.0 Specna Arms plastic is OK. Specna Arms monkey-metal is OK. G&G plastic is better. I haven't held the DE plastic, or metal. "Daniel Defence" is a piece of laser etching on a generic Specna, it has absolutely zero significance beyond that. Any of the above will work. All of them will benefit from (but don't need) a few modest parts like a Maple Leaf macaron bucking and omega nub, maybe a ZCI or AOLs barrel, better motor, tuning the spring for your site limits, and so on. There's no obvious best choice, you just have to put your money down and roll the dice. If it was my money, today, for a general purpose AEG, it would go on a Double Eagle M9xx.

Shish kebab with extra marketing steps.

Have you ruled out the Double Eagle M9xx guns? Specnas are OK, but the DE's offer a bit more value for money.

That does seem like a genuine possibility at this point.

Ahoy and welcome. Perfectly decent choice. It's likely to have an M90 spring fitted. An M100 is the default choice for 1.13J-ish Joules. I say Joules because unless you're playing CQB indoors, you'll likely be wanting to use 0.28g (minimum 0.25g, maybe even 0.3g or higher if your Specna will lift them and budget allows). Unless your site is still stuck in the 1990s and chronoing on 0.2g, you'll want to chrono on the BB weight that you'll be using, and ideally with the hop set for that. The difference can be significant: I have guns that shoot at 1J with 0.28g, but 1.2J with 0.2g, with the hop set appropriately for each weight. Did yours come with another spring in the box? If so, it will be an M120, although it may be in an M90 wrapper (with the M90 already fitted). You could cut a few coils off of it and see where that gets you. Cutting them down is easy enough. Oh, I would echo what @Lozartsaid though - play first, get a baseline, then start modifying. You're at 0.9J just now, which is fine - effective range is more about shot-to-shot consistency than maximum power. I'd also agree that ZCI or AOLS barrels and Maple Leaf rubbers (Macaron bucking and omega nub) are a great combination and will likely bump the muzzle energy up a little. You already have a decent rotary hop unit.

The MB-03 uses a non-VSR cylinder, piston and spring. The piston and springs are easily enough sourced. The trigger groups are trash though, my spring guide stopper wallered out in short order after springing up to 2.3J If you're genuinely planning on replacing everything internal, that's not a concern, but it works out as much or more than going straight to an SSG-10 or SRS, or starting with an AAC T-11 with a decent 90-degree trigger.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeehahahahah, what? 💯 mad lad.

Nicely done! As a fellow member of EVArmour Squad, I would recommend ostentatiously over-calling hits for a while until the squishes accept you as their rightful superior.

£19 an hour is the litigant-in-person value accepted as reasonable by courts. And remember, lawyers always round up.

Or a re-skin and change the marketing? Who do they think they are, Nuprol?

"Mosfet" covers a wide range of things. Specna Arms EDGE and I think now all the CORE models have a very basic mosfet that just offers trigger protection and better current flow. If you go up to the Specna Arms EDGE 2.0 models, or the Double Eagle M9xx, then you'll get a fire control system with a lot more options like burst modes. If that's what you're after, then those are the two that I'd suggest. They also have decent hop units and quick change springs so you can fine tune the power easily, and both of them have Deans connectors. The Double Eagles are a bit cheaper, although at the moment it's a case of buying whatever's in stock. Or the S65, e.g. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/438918

Have a laugh with it, send them a picture of the mags literally in your hands.

Wait, wait, wait: is their gender being assumed from their genitals? 🤔 Sounds like someone needs to re-do their Diversity, Inclusion and Equity training.
