BBs are bulky and heavy, so good luck on finding somewhere cheaper :S

6mm ammo offer free 2nd class on they’re range... so cheaper places are out there 

Cheaper for Geoffs*

this place has to be up there with the best in the uk , they also hold an event every august  , 3 teams with over 2500 players in total , http://groundzeroairsoft.com/      https://www.airsoftfestival.com/

Played Ground Zero, and it is very good to be fair. 

 

Im looking at a weekend in September 

Didn't know what was a thing... How would I find this?

Think it was about 40 in the end, good numbers considering the last minute idea

Do they do night games?? interested as want to use night vision as much as possible. 

This was a last minute game, but I think they will be doing a few more 

It's pretty much a 50/50 toss up every time I open my mouth whether I get a fist in it before I finish a sentence or not. Tis a tough life sometimes...

 

By the way congratulations on the future cum sprout!

Yeah i have noticed you sail a little close to the edge, i find it funny though mate to be fair.

 

When are you next down absolute ?

Sunday mate. 

Spares for TMs tend to sell at some point. I'd list it and just not bump it - if someone is looking they'll find it (even if it's in a couple of months).

You can get all manor of bottles here. Pretty sure I've seen the same/similar as you require.

Drop your prices to what you can live with not what you want and it’ll go , nature of the beast unfortunately .

Yeah, he's far more in the know than me😂

I have been offered a mint Lumix G5 for £100, so I will more than likely go with this. Thank you both for your help though I appreciate it. 

This should do me until I find out whether or not I stick the hobby. 

Just to chime in here, if you do progress and want some bigger hardware/lenses - I use MPB.com and go for their used kit. I got a 24-105mm Canon lens, used and it was in mint condition.

 

Currently using a Canon 7D, but am looking to grab a used 5D MKIII at some point.

These? I bought a pair off skirmshop a week ago, but their website doesn't seem to be responding atm, so I can't link it.

nvm here it is: https://www.skirmshop.co.uk/enhanced-magazine-lip-seal-for-tokyo-marui-g17-g18.html

That’s them! Skirmshop had no stock when I looked. Thanks man, appreciate that

I wouldn't recommend those old style Nuprol BBs though.

 

Awful, awful reputation for ovality, swelling and being generally shit.

Yeah these were Geoff’s but no stock anywhere. 

Fair enough on the 'shit' call...they do look dated don't they....  I've been using .25 RZR Nuprols and they seemed great.

Ah fair one mate, I tend to agree but I got a baby due in a week so this could be my last outing for a few weeks so need to make the most of it! 

Congratulations and good luck!

Ah RIP your airsoft hobby mate, I wil be there with G on the 15th.

Attraction of the X9 is no one has one, that I have seen! And the full metal build. 

 

How is the polymer for the arp? Does it feel solid? 

 

I only have 7.4v batteries now, so assuming i will need to get a few 11.1s for it also? 

the x9 looks basically the same  as the arp9 to me, so i wouldn't give it any exclusivity factor. an exclusive gun would be a gbb groza or an mg34, something that you'll hardly ever see fielded.

Basically the same, but is different ha arp does really seem the gun of the moment. 

 

Didnt own one before as i tossed a coin between a freedom freedom fighter and a arp...

 

arp lost ha 

WE WET G17

Computer says no?  Sad for you, good for the hobby though if retailers are actually checking.

yeah, I can't wait. What are you dressing up as? I am going to be Jesus 😂

Ha mate, don’t think I’ll be dressing up mate... may don a xmas hat if I can find it. 

Nice to shoot you today Jesus 😂 cracking outfit

Arp9, but only because I hate pistol M4s 

I've listed the Ares this morning 😎

 

Interested mate, however going to look at a arp 9 with drum mag over the coming days, and not sure I can commit to both right now... will let you know though.

 

id have lost my shit with the guy who cracked yours thou! Wow that’s bad 

It’s to run as a secondary alongside when I am using the sniper, my glock hits the distances (built from the guidance of @rocketdogbert) but it is a bit on the loud side, I do love it as a side arm thou! 🤔🤔🤔

I still say do both.
Because more guns are better 😄 

 

Fantasists.  Fantasists everywhere.

Me too. Hug?

I'm asking them to message me and I'll pm you their numbers 

The "thing" about certain bespoke guns that "looks good"

 

wait until you need to find some basic spares/parts/bits for it

 

There is the GAT gun by Echo1 and others

Looks a nice bit of fun gun...

 

Yeah - try and source mags for it locally and easily

It uses v3 gearbox - well not quite

it uses a bespoke COL and it wears quickly

now try and source one

 

Whenever you are looking at a new "unique" or "different" gun

look into mags and other bits n bobs first perhaps

 

Like Army Force Quick change spring v2 gearbox

the micro switch is easy to source cheaply when it burns out

but try to source its bespoke trigger & COL and selector plate

 

You can get it from Begadi in Germany but not in UK easily

 

Back to gun or ARP 9 - normal M4-ish gun but bespoke mags

so just price up any spare mags and what cost/availability etc...

before you part with your cash etc....

 

All I'm saying there are a number of guns people "think" they want

but often like a L85 for example

when people get these "different" guns

quite often they endup finding out this ain't as good as I thought

then you see them flogging them on say 6 months later

going back to their usual guns they end up preferring in the end

 

Trust me - I might have bought and own a "few"

but I've made a few not so wise purchases too

 

Heck buy what you like or desire

just check some stuff out first

 

ignore most of my snidey remarks

but do make a few investigations into your dream gun perhaps

 

that's all 

You make some very good points as always @Sitting Duck I have a freedom fighter too thou which looks very similar to the arp 5.56 

 

i think any gun 2nd hand is a risk, I’ve had 3. 2 were fantastic and 1 a lemon.
