If you can find one get your self an ICS MP5 to say they last for years and there bombproof is an understatement ! Mines god knows how old and third hand and it’s still running like a train ! 👍

The JG mP5 takes a lot of beating, ridiculous performance for such a cheep gun

Took my f2000 about 6 months to burn out the semi contacts.

Unless its a unicorn gun with some weird trigger contact arrangement you can go without until it dies, for v2/3 boxes they aint expensive/difficult to replace.

Of course if your gonna titan then even better as titan removes the trigger contacts anyway.

The main reason mosfets and lipos get mentioned in the same sentence is battery protection, a good mosfet will stop you overdischarging. Whilst you *can* get away without it you need to be very concious to stop shooting the moment it starts to flag a bit and not just shoot till it stops.

My AM013 has been running on 11.1s for 2 years since the last service.. No issues at all.

My 009 on the other hand underwent several services to make it run reliably on 11.1s..

Regarding your question: high voltage batteries destroy mechanical trigger contacts without a mosfet.

The voltage is so high it creates a voltaic arc between the trigger blades, in the long run they oxidize and literally burn themselves into oblivion. Mosfets just take the stress away from the trigger..

If you're upgrading to a titan you may as well kill the standard trigger and then upgrade, as you'll be throwing them away anyway 

Ok, guys..thanks for the info.   Merry Crimbo!

I've ordered a QRS sling! Damn you tempting discounts...

It is one of my go to sites for kit. 

Same here bud, I would recommend them to anyone. 👍

It's weird if you don't... lol

The dogs were looking at me with crazy eyes...

Glad I'm not the only one! My dog also just lays there staring at me with bewilderment... 

What monocular did you buy?

Armasight/Flir Sirius SD Gen2+    Would love a Gen3 but price for that is crazy.

Right..NV will take 7-10 Days, i've ordered from the States some sacrificial lenses and an adapter so I can mount the monocular to a j-arm & mount..of which I just need to find said j-arm & mount..

have a look on the real steel pages on facebook or have a look at mapleleaftactical (ambiguousdave on ebay) on IG failing that tactical optician can make you sacrificial lenses.

Polycarbonate sheets are cheap, easy to cut with a jigsaw (or a hacksaw with patience), and 2mm should be enough to see off most BBs. All of my sights are running DIY'd polycarb protectors, and my torches now have polycarb "lenses".  It doesn't have to be neat: one sight just has a square slab of polycarb with holes in each corner and thin cable-ties lashing it to the optic.  Looks a bit trailer park, but it works fine.

the one i have the previous owner was kind enough to have left in a homebrew polycarb lense as rogerborg suggests, seems like it'll do the job and remember it's a night vision sight, to be used at night, so looks arent important

Well what a waste of time that was...first off I paid for parking but it was free after 6pm. (Machine with info had stickers all over it, so couldn't read any of the blurb)  Got onsite, started setting up..chrono time and 330fps maximum limit.  WTF?  Both my G&G and ICS were too hot for this place, just a tad over their 5% allowance.  I can use my guns at other CQB venues just fine as every other CQB place i've been to is 350.  So faced with no usable pew pew...I had to leave, asked for a refund but they said no!  Then they offered to rent me a AK for £12 for 2hrs..Umm, no thanks.  So walked out pretty pissed off and £24 + fuel down in pocket.  (Even put a m95 spring in my ICS as it's quick change, but still just over)

Should I buy a m90 spring and go back?  Seemed like a good bunch of lads who turned up...just annoyed at their silly fps limits. /end rant!

Have you ever had a TM before? This is standard behaviour when filling mags. They are quite sloppy to fill and the gas gets sloppier when they are full. 

If its not that then I have far better results with Plastic nozzles. 

better with a plastic nozzle 

Well just tried the silent fill o-rings, which were a bugger to put on, but sadly it's made the problem even worse...liquid greengas goes everywhere. I think I need new valves..but can't find any atm.

With the wee mag adapter you can but you do loose the bolt stop function (which for me is the main reason I buy TM recoil Armalite platforms) 

Righto...am thinking of getting a SCAR, but I already have x10 Mid caps.  While the bolt stop function is cool..it's not the main reason I would want a TM.  Mag adapter!  Ok, Cheers Druid....

Awesome mate, best of luck!

Best of luck buddy! I’m trying to get a new job too, but have to shell out £100k first!

Only 4? That’s some heavy slacking! In my first 12months of playing I accrued 24 RIFs... it’s taken me another 18 months to slowly cut that number down. 

24. Good effort that man!
Although tbf, at my current rate of accrual, I might meet you at that.
14 so far since February..... eek!

You boys need a drug habit to help you stop buying RIFs!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but have you checked that the valve core is secure?

Not sure, but I did take it apart as I thought maybe an o-ring was broken, but both top and bottom o-rings are ok.  Lubed them and put it together again..still leaks.

God dammit.  Bloody airsoft gear, I'm thinking of switching to Nerf.
