Must be SAS (Special Airsoft Services) then, if you're not allowed to tell us. 🙄 Please understand that we get posts like this regularly, and they generally turn out to be from dreamers and/or students. We generally just have a laugh with them, until evidence of ability to deliver is produced.

Ahoy and welcome. The EP-01 will be fine, they're not going to break from airsoft energy impacts, although I'd agree that pretty much anything from the Bollé range can be trusted. You may have issues with fogging though, it's the bane of many an airsofter. I like dual-pane lenses like the Pyramex I-Force. You'll have to find out for yourself if you're a fogging victim. If you are, having a pair of mesh goggles in your bag can save your day. Lower face, a mix of mesh and fabric gives you a good balance of protection and cheek-weldability. The original brand of these is OneTigris, but there are cheaper equivalents now.

Hmm, with something like 350,000 made in total, I wonder what the definition of "holds" is, and what happened to the rest. Ah! I didn't imagine the imminent replacement of the L85, it's just that the "imminency" has been kicked down the road again.

Knife kills for the rest of the day?

That's what I was wondering, as it sounds like the real goal is to have people picking their shots. I mean, if you welcome the glorious HPA master race, why not dirty AEG peasants? Any mid-cap can be loaded with 30 rounds, it comes down to whether you trust the players to stick to the spirit of it.

Yup, sounds fun, good luck with it. It seems that your rules could be boiled down to: No AEGs of any sort. Near-real capacity magazines, and none over 50 rounds.

You're right to be suspicious, airsoft for-sales adverts are prime targets for scammers. It's got nothing to do with the site, and there's no way for them to stop it. Targeting sellers is a new twist though.

NURPOL.

I stripped two gearboxes today, but at least nobody said mean things to me.

Ah, got you. Ares will be happy then.

True, but from the olden days. There are very few airsoft purchases that I really regret, but even penny spent on NiMh was wasted.

Huh, I'm ready to stand corrected, but didn't think there was a GBBR A3. Why order off the shelf when you can "procure", I guess.

We're not talking about P90s.

Urgh, MP5 hops. Or tighten the screws, or put oring(s) between the hop slider and the barrel, or cable tie the slider to the barrel, or... Do you have one of these? I assume there's a screw on the other side holding the slider in place that you could tighten up. Or add washers and/or tape as the mood takes you in order to increase friction.

Oh, we're going to be sensible about this now? Is the WE the only GBBR L85? Given that we're moving towards the L403A1 / KS-1, I wonder if they'll just skip straight to an Assault-Rifle-15 GBBR.

Or approximately three "starter set bundles" on usedairsoft. There does seem to be a core of sense to this, although how it actually translates to recruitment is quite another matter. I can see £120,000 being blown on mouse-mats, mugs and biscuits without a single visit to an actual airsoft site to say "Hey, do you want to try a really hot gun?"

I have seen it happen, and the mask reflexively raised to rub at the eyes. Once, point blank, with a bad batch of 0.2g ASG Blasters. ... which I see all the time, despite all exhortations not to do it.

Same with motorcycle gear since 2018, although it's widely ignored and I doubt that it's ever enforced. I'd say "This is another reason to have a national body, be recognised as a sport, and have well defined minimum standards", but... ... often to be seen on marshals and site owners. I've even fingered someone for wearing non-protective sunglasses at chrono, and had a site runner just shrug it off as "their risk". That's why it's remarkable to see site that is taking eyepro seriously. Good for them.

This is why I write "EN166B" on my home-made eye-pro, to ensure that it meets all safety standards.

Ahoy, and welcome. Yup, it's a great hobby if you have a good site with honest players. Obligatory...

Then why drop the asking price? 🤔

Wires crossed here, I think. It's that the Maple Leafs have (by design) a relatively large contact patch compared to other buckings and in theory it might foul in the window (the hole in the top of the barrel). However, I've not experienced that problem with any barrel, either stock or aftermarket, and I run Maple Leafs exclusively. One thing that can give an issue is that Maple Leafs have slightly longer feed lips than some other buckings, which can stop BBs from feeding. I've only experienced this once, in a MP5K with a pretty shoddy hop chamber, and if you do experience it, all it takes to solve it is cutting a tiny sliver off of the bottom of the feed lip.

That's actually pretty sensible. My first gun was a bargain basement plastic-fantastic CYMA CM.516. As soon as I had something better, I hacksawed off the stock and the barrel at the end of the hand guard, threw on a PEQ box for a battery, and fettled the internals. It weighs next to nothing and performs as well as anything else out there. One thing I added was a magwell grip. And I mention this because that's all the length you need on an M4. You don't have to C-clamp them like an operator, you can tuck them in and forget about everything in front of the magwell. Are you having issues with the length of pull - the stock-to-trigger length? If so, you might want to look at PDW stocks. But then that opens the door to MP5s again.
