    MP5 lovers... JDAirsoft have Nuprol 100 round Metal Mid-caps in stock. (Picked up x6..£12.99 each though) (All my MAG Mp5 mags are broke..these seem like good quality) :)

      They're a bit tight for the G&G MP5 mind you...gonna need a little oil and some bedding in before they can be removed easily...Having to slap it home and yank it out..

    Well it was a great day of airsoft yesterday..my last for a few months. (Having an Op next month)  Only downside yesterday was my fire selector falling off my G&G SD6....glad I always take 2 primaries..but what made up for it was the Generator going down and all the lights went out twice in Drakelow Tunnels.  Total, absolute pitch black.  Perfect for me with NODS and IR illuminator. :)

    I picked my Rhino mount & J-Arm up from a chap on this facebook page...people always selling NOD stuff. (Paid around £80 at the time) Tactical Kit and Accessories Sales UK (Real Steel Only!) https://www.facebook.com/groups/649752695074092/

    NOD's are the way...dogging is so much easier for me now.

    At ACEAIRSOFT last weekend...weather was shitty, but was still an awesome day with some fun scenarios. Since starting airsoft back in Sep'17 and throwing myself into my favourite hobby (Used as coping mechanism after losing my old man) My health has improved tenfold and I've lost 5stone in weight and still heading in the right direction. I love Airsoft......

    What amazed me what when you look down the sight..all you really see is the magnified (slightly) glass..the housing is very minimal and adds to an excellent sight picture..your view is not blocked by a large metal dials or housing..I was very impressed, hence I bought the sucker.

    Vortex Spitfire AR... Bought it the other week at the Shooting Show at the NEC...ran it on Sunday and was very impressed for such a small scope..love it to bits.

      But by that chain of thought your not going to buy ANY kit as it’ll either get lost or broken ? Mags get lost because the catch gets activated in the holster , so either get a holster that’s plastic or  get a decent quality cordura one OR you can put a mag safe strap on handle of your pistol . 

      As to the TRMR , there’s a unique serial No on it , take a pic on your phone the day you have it with all the packaging visible as well and no one can deny it’s yours . Loosing them ? Pay attention to where you throw it and DON’T lob it halfway across the site either ! ?‍♂️

    Anyone using NVG's, make sure you protect your lens!  I had my 'sacrificial' lens shot out yesterday...good thing I bought 5 of them. :)

      Yeah, they're good to stop dust and scratches but not impact.  Have a chat to the tactical optician (he's on Facebook), he'll sort you out with a polycarbonate lens and flip up cover.

      Yeah - One of the best couriers I use. Text alerts, real time tracking and I've always had it delivered the next day unless it was sent on a Friday or over the weekend.

      For me its DPD by far the best,sorry to hear you've had a bad experience,you should let them know what they've done wrong

    G&G GT Advanced MP5 SD6 (Fitted ASG custom top rail for my red dot sight & G&P DBAL2 - Had to dremel the rail as it didn't quite fit on the G&G) Ordered a pistol tracer unit so I can modify it to fit inside the suppressor. (My acetech predator unit does not fit inside ) Can't wait to run this next Sunday with my NODS in the tunnels.
  12. Monkman

    Well, looks like I'm buying a MP5, bought some mags & pouches in a sale, just couldn't help myself..now just looking to see if I can get a deal on a SD6 and rock it in the 'tunnels' next month. :)

      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

       

  13. Monkman

    Question!  Realistically, how long could you run an AEG on 11.1's before things go tits up without a mosfet?  I've seen multiple AEG's running without them and people say it's fine...but seen a lot of info saying you should run a mosfet.  For a gun which is lets say £200-300..is it not just better to run it till it breaks and if it does then upgrade, rather than spend another £100+ on a titan etc..

      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!

    Working 12hr shifts Christmas & Boxing Day..but at least I get to play tomorrow.  Quite looking forward to it. :)

    KWC M92 Co2 pew pew.... 50% off @ JDAirsoft with their crimbo deals. Always wanted a M9 and wanted to try a Co2 gun..seeing as my TM gas mags are a pain in the arse. Looking forward to playing with it this sunday. (Sadly it's not the full-auto version)
  16. Monkman
    Is this the 'real' Sig scope? £££ It looks awesome...
  17. Monkman
    Earmor are pretty good...I have both normal & helmet mounted sets. Quality is ok and have lasted me over a year with constant abuse... and the fact you can swap the boom mic from either side is a plus. I had to modify the PTT kenwood connector slightly as when connected the Baofeng sometimes the transmit doesn't work. (Shaved a little of the plastic/rubber on one side at the base of the kenwood metal bits..this allows it to seat better when attached to the radio.)
  18. Monkman
    It's awesome....eye relief is very good, Quality & Clarity of the glass is outstanding and the x1-x6 zoom is great..plus the free no quibble warranty is hard to beat. Only negative is the lens caps are naff..will need to buy sturdier ones.

    Titan Lithium Ion battery... Read good things about them...anyone else have one, how have they performed? Also, a quick question. I have a ICS-MARS Carbine, with the split gearbox..those things seem pretty well built. Do you think I could run a 11.1v instead of a 7.4 in it. (It does not have a mosfet in it yet...)
  20. Monkman

    Dammit...10% off @ UkTactical.  Went and pulled the trigger on a Warrior DCS DA5.56 Plate carrier. :)

    Well here it is... Armasight SIRIUS Gen2+, with NOROTOS Rhino mount & J-Arm. I'm still waiting on customs to clear my 'sacrificial lens' protector (Bought 5 of them) and also a J-Adpt mounting or the Armasight. (More sturdy than the silver one I got from Singapore)
  22. Monkman

    Ugh....x2 items I need for my NV helmet setup are stuck in customs. (Adapter for my J-Arm & sacrificial lenses)

    Really wanted to try out my NV helmet setup this weekend @ Drakelow Tunnels....Bloody ParcelFarce!!

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

    4. Monkman

      Monkman

      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..:)

  25. Monkman

    Thinking of getting into NV, but worried about shot out lenses.  Anyone know where I can buy lens protector's / sacrificial lenses in the UK?  Bloody ITAR in the states is annoying. :)

      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
