    G&G drum mags are pretty solid. I have the electric version and 3 of the guys on my team run the manual verison. Good construction and no feeding issues at all. When it's time to fight light, I dump the plate carrier & bit and run the drum mag.

    Drove 3hrs to the Bunker in Aberystwyth in the dark, drove back 3hrs in the dark.... It was last day ever @ The Bunker. Quite a basic site with basic stuff around the field, but a WW2 bunker that made for some interesting attacking/defending. Certainly one the most interesting sites as one side of the site is level (Bunker) and the other side has some steep ass hills and made assaulting upwards not only a shooting challenge but figuring out ways to fight uphill even more of a ball ache to figure out. It was Knackering and some questionable hit taking...but was it fun? Well yes... More positives than negatives and quite enjoyed my little adventure into Wales... I will never ever bitch about the tiny teeny hill @ my home site ever again...lol

    Says to self...Today I must not go charging through the stream..it's cold and it's probably not a good idea.  Comes back to safe zone at end of the day, soaking wet.  Bollocks!  (I'll do anything to try & win)  :)

      Never mind in years to come you can sit back and think “why yes I was a right fecking idiot running through that stream , my bloody arthritis is killing me now !” ?

    Fair enough... I don't know the law and maybe i'm wrong to think posting on the description is not enough to stay on the right side of the law. Surely they checked to make sure this was legal to do...could be wrong and they've messed up bigtime, but they've been doing this for years...lost count at how many builds they've uploaded that are going abroad. I don't see why it should be posted on a forum, calling them dodgy as fuck, when all it would've taken is what Rogerborg has done and let them know of possible issue with the law..and get some personal clarification if it's right/wrong and that's the end of it. Just seems like a post to create drama, when it could've been handled better with private comms with them. What was the aim of the post..highlight they're doing something illegal, see them get prosecuted and then feel smug about it? Maybe I just took the point of your post completely wrong....and I don't mean to cause offence, but I don't see how this helps having it out in the open.

    Like the sad person I am, I usually watch these short vids that get posted...and 99% of the time these high powered guns are mentioned that they are going oversees, where power levels are different. If you were to take the time and look at the details posted on the YT video description it does say the following... "This build is for export only and is not for use in the uk. " So way to go with the factually incorrect post mate... Maybe delete this whole post as if I were Eagle6 I would be pretty pissed at you right now.... Just saying. Also their YT page is not just for the UK and is seen worldwide....arugments for/against vids like this..but I don't think they're breaking any rules as it's clearly stated...where it's going.

    It may be compatible with these... Heard that the FMA mounts are supposed to be pretty good. Make sure your secure your NODS to the helmet with a bungee cord or lanyard...just in case you catch them and it breaks away from the helmet (like it's designed to, to stop you breaking your neck) https://www.amazon.co.uk/World-EU-Tatical-Airsoft-Helmet/dp/B06XGTBKT1?th=1 +1 for joining NV on FB..that's where I got some good info.. https://www.facebook.com/groups/NVGNOD Also Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/NightVision/ (Good place for info... A bloke in Texas supplied me with x6 geniune PVS14 sacrificial lenses..which are ITAR as well..but came throught he post fine) Also for IR Lasers..if you can afford one, go for a G&P DBAL a2 - Expensive but easy to zero, made of metal and you can use lower power setting. Also had Red laser/IR laser and IR Illuminator..though I would go with a IR Illuminator (IR Torch) (Wish sell some good repo Surefire ones..just check description make sure it's IR as well as White light) Failing that a FMA AN/PEQ15 repo with Red/IR laser white light is ok, but don't expect to be able to zero the lasers much and they lose zero at the slightest knock. (I zero'd mine.then put some tape over the dials so they wouldn't move..with the G&P Dbal..the dials click and don't get knocked easy)

    Don't pull to much on the wires coming out of the plastic housing..they're quite delicate.... Mine didn't last long...so try not move from rifle to rifle like I did....think I pulled on the wires to much. (Couldnt' fix it either.) But still was very handy when it worked.

    You should be able to find something here that suits your needs. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/category/silencers/?manufacturer=&stock=1&stpos=0&no_per_pg=999

    Welcome to the NOD Squad.. I miss Drakelow Tunnels...such a great place for being a sneaky bastard in the dark.

    Mate don't bother with that cheap chinese rubbish...there is no Cheap NV solution. You can probably pickup a 2nd hand GEN2+ for around £1000. You could try looking at getting a GEN1+ tube from somewhere...but you would have to use a IR illuminator/torch with this to see anything though. There is also the Sionx Aurora NV camera that some peeps use as NV monocular which is around £500-600 I think. My budget Armasight Gen2+ cost me £1300 from ScottCountry sport. (On finance mind you) They still sell NV I think so maybe worth checking them out, but they stopped selling cheap NV camera's years ago. https://www.sionyx.com/collections/night-vision-cameras https://www.scottcountry.co.uk/night-vision/monoculars/

    Note to self...never role play as a Zombie against 60 players.  I've lost count of all the BB welts on my  poor knackered body..LoL  (Was fun at the time though)

      was a very good game that, felt sorry for you though

      I saw Swamp Sniper/Ballahack in The US runs those. Apparently it's $70 to be a human, $5 to be a zombie. Guess we know why now!

      No, I was asked to play as Zombie for 1st game, then Killer Clown in the 2nd..Then I got to play rest of the day. :)

  12. Monkman
    I don't know this model...but found this on YT.. Hope this of some help.
  13. Monkman

    Well that was interesting..swapped out the Maple Leaf Super macaron 70 bucking, for my old G&G Green and shot accuracy improved with my MTW!  :)

      Steveocee

      Not surprising. Those greens are a really stable and consistent performer.

      The G&G is pretty good.

    Want to buy brand new A&K M60 for £160?  https://www.sixmm.com/collections/on-sale/products/a-and-k-full-metal-mk43-mod-0-airsoft-aeg?fbclid=IwAR1Va3hgjDcxrf8fQNvqMnbttOJ9vUKQi8QKermG1EsLTaybVyJT5o5UJEI

     

    I've bought a lot of bits & pieces from these guys..but buying a RIF.. I dunno....import fees & tax's will be quite heavy...and considering Chinese have a habit of saying they are toy parts and rifs being siezed and destroyed..from what've i've seen in forums/reddit.. Think I'll pass on this...

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Yup, I'm now only ordering small stuff from Abroadland that I can afford to write off.  No chance would I gamble on a RIF at the moment.

       

      Still, this is all great news for the UK's local airsoft manufactu- awwww. :( 

    2. Cr0-Magnon

      Also check reviews of that site....

      Yep, seen the reviews but I have ordered a lot of bits from then in the past..all arrived ok, but not a RIF though.  Last order was for x4 Gas mags for the AK and tools and addons.  Got burned by the whole shitfest that was getting a rif from the EU...won't ever import one again, even from China.  :)  Parts/bits ok, but not full on Rifs.

    Yep..300bar is correct...just fill your bottle to 3000 psi from it. Just bare in mind the more you refill from the tank in the bottle the pressure slowly lowers and at some point bottle and tank will equalise, so you may get to a point where you can only fill to 2000psi, while this is still ok to use in games, just means you may have to top it up again...or just take the tank to a dive shop and get it refilled to 300bar.

    Played last sunday @ ACE AIRSOFT in West Midlands... Was a good day, ruined slightly by a few peeps not taking their hits. Marshals to their credit once made aware of the situation dealt with the persons. (Few peeps said they're were never coming back? Least give the Marshals time to deal with them first eh?) After lunch things got a little salty as Red's dominated the Blues. I volunteered to switch sides, but still stayed on Red. Due to some of the, lets say slow reactions to hit taking, I switched things up a little and opted to take out the Drum mag and use Full Auto. (After lowering pressure and re-chrono with marshals, seeing as I was running it @ DMR levels in the morning. I like to play mainly single shot, but I think it warranted Full auto today.) Anyway...I took out my new Scopecam2 4k camera and got some nice footage I think, later part of the vid I get some nice killstreaks. Strykerles takes a bad hit in the eye and causes concern and I call "mandown" so marshals can make sure he was ok! He was.. It's my 2nd ever vid posted on YT so still learning....

    No reason, could've got one from numerous retailers, but I was talking to Luke about my ICS and then i asked if he had any brushless motor's for sale.
  18. Monkman
    One of my AEG's overheats quite badly with the motor & batteries, even with the mosfet and playing with the different modes. Decided to get a Warhead as this should go a long way to prevent heat build up. Just gonna pop out get some red Loctite to attach the pinion gear to the shaft, let it cure for a day..then put it in the gun. Will make a trip to InRange and use one of their ranges to really test it out. Cheers to Luke (Negative Airsoft) for the motor.
  19. Monkman

    Oh no...  InRange is being forced to close down.  https://www.facebook.com/INRANGEUK

     

    Such a great indoor venue and visit least once a week.  Not happy.  ?

      Shame, didnt get chance to try this place out since the revamp.

      Shame. No-one likes to see businesses close. 

       

      Hopefully this is just the start of a new chapter, there's loads of retail space empty at the moment so fingers crossed they find a new home and a more agreeable landlord elsewhere. If Zed can set up in an old Debenhams then there's hope.

      There's loads of space, but the question is whether it's affordable. You're talking 6 figures just in rates alone for decent sized commercial properties, before you pay a penny towards rent, utilities or maintenance.

       

      Absent running places as charities, claiming that they're derelict (how, if they've got a tenant?) or exploiting temporary rates holidays, it's hard to see how indoor sites are viable.

    That looks to be bang on...

    It's defo a CIRAS style plate carrier...but WARRIOR's? take on it in Multicam. Could be a from a special batch and made to order? Plenty of companies make CIRAS, closest one that looks almost identical is one made by Eagle Industries.

    2nd part of this month's spend was delivered today.
  23. Monkman
    I'm wondering if it's RIF's that cause delays, as I waited almost 2 months for it to clear Border Force.... They were inside the box and resealed it and was covered in Border Force tape. (It only took 4 days to come from Poland to the UK, then sat with UPS, then BF. Glad you got your items quick mate..
  24. Monkman
    These are once again available in the UK...so been after one for ages and it's also the GEN 2 verison. (Got mine through opticswarehouse.co.uk...same with all my other Vortex optics. Gotta love zero % finance)
  25. Monkman
    Yep, still messing with it and trying to find optimal settings... This weekend will be trying the full 4k but it's only 30fps on 4k...there is also 2k and 1080p with much higher refresh rates.. I'm just trying to get back into video editing..used to do a lot when I played ARMA years ago..trying to remember how to use my software..
