If you do crack and decide to buy something yourself, a pistol can make sense (as much as any of these expensive toys do). Great fun if you get gas blowback, simpler to sort any two-tone, and easier to transport to and from site. Just be sure to have a "reasonable excuse" to hand, i.e. site and booking information. [EDIT] And I've juuuuust seen your defence thread.

This 'un? A decent choice, if you bagged it. If not, that's an example of what to grab when they do come up - an unmeddled example, ideally with a spare mag, no "fUlLy UpGrAdEd" claims, at a reasonable price.

And runs the risk of attracting people who are only happy if they're winning some unnecessarily provoked conflict, whether it's during the very silly game of hide-and-seek with toy guns, or the even sillier pastime of discussing it. Me, I prefer to avoid that sort of drama, and it's easily enough done with a choice of site, or a few clicks.

Ahoy and welcome back. Is the gearbox actually cracked? G&Gs aren't particularly notorious for that. I also got a G36C (JG) as a backup, and have ended up using it more than anything else.

Seriously though? I wouldn't play at any site that hasn't banned him. I'm there to play a game of airsoft, not to be an involuntary villain in a fictionalised drama.

A decent sized rucksack will take a PDW, or most M4s will split in half with one pin. However, I use a large wheeled luggage holdall. The bigger and more robust the better, as you'll find that you gear will rapidly expand to fit your transport.

With a lot of extra steps.

Do mirrors reflect your image? Ghillie suit or otherwise. Well, from now on, you're going to be invisible to me.

Yup, I'm long past recommending them. If you do have something labelled as a B6, I'd definitely check the authenticity (not that it guarantees a no-pyro experience): https://www.skyrc.com/antifake/public/

Having been one in a previous life/hobby, the reason I avoid proper milsim events is that I wouldn't want to be in the worst kit there. Area-66 ran a WW2 event recently, as one of their marshals and his mates are into that, with vehicles and deacs and all sorts. The turnout was very low, partly because it was the last weekend before the schools went back, but I reckon a fair number of folk looked at the great WW2 impression kit in the promos and - even though they said everybody was welcome, just don't use modern magazine pouches - thought "Well, I'll look pretty daft next to that."

Recommended at the price.

Ouch, which Nuprol were you using? Sorry that happened to you. It's a salient reminder to charge inside an Explosion Containment Pie Dish. I'm using an old SkyRC Imax B6. Last I heard, the RC Master Race were still recommending SkyRCs, e.g. the S65.

Ah, the dichotomy of sniping. You're either in the woods and limited by how far you can see, or in the open and at the mercy of the elements. I think we tend to remember those 75m+ (airsoft units) shots because they're so rare.

Ah, fair enough. I like "filmsim" to describe that sort of event - and I like that sort of event.

Er, is anything wrong with it? I ask because (used gun + a hour of a decent tech's time) > new price About half of the content of Negative Airsoft on YouTube is Luke fixing guns that have been "serviced" by "techs". Specna Orion gearboxes are prone to cracking at the front. That's something you can look for yourself. If it happens, it happens, and it's time for a new shell or a complete new box. Internally, if it sounds OK and shoots OK, it probably is OK. Shimming and re-greasing is a reasonable idea, if it's done right. Replacing parts before they fail, I'm not convinced on, given the random QC of even "upgraded" parts. I'd just hate to see you fork over £50+ for some Skylar to either do nothing, or just spooge some lube in, or actually make it worse.

???

The first part I'd recommend changing on an Edge is that quick-drop grip. Just about any £10 Ali Express replacement will be better. The Specna rotary units are pretty decent. A Maple Leaf rubber and nub work well, and that's about the easiest possible thing to do yourself. Your money, your choice, I'd just recommend being clear about what you want done to it, and why. "A service" can mean just about anything, or nothing.

That looks rather peculiar. So, is this being sold by KoA? Like, retail, with a warranty? Or is a customer gun that still there and he doesn't want / can't afford it, and they're happy to sell it on his behalf? I'm almost interested enough to ask.

Ahoy and welcome. Sorry, no idea on the local sites there, hopefully someone local will be able to point out the peaches and lemons.

Sorry to hear that. Did she find the receipts? (Too soon?) I'm not clear on what your priorities are. "Not on show" and "not too messy" sounds like you want them inside some sort of structure, rather than just bin bags and a tie-down strap holding them together. Do you care if it's secure? Are you after something more, or less, complicated than a Björk cupboard from Ikea?

Ooh, noise! I mean, nice!

Oh, that's a smart idea, I'm going to stea- share it.

Adds 50% to the retail price, legit. https://www.airtac.me/shop/p/fully-upgraded-stickers?rq=stickers

Caveated that with airsoft quality control, nothing is guaranteed. It's just more likely that you'll get a good, usable example of a Silverback or (gritted teeth) SSG-10 than a cheap JG or CYMA. Steyr Scout is also getting some love.
