"nah mate, I'm good with guns, don't need more" - a blatant liar, circa 2025

That's the normal mechanical trigger operation, experienced the same "issue" in our rental guns. What I believe happens is that by pulling the trigger softly and slowly, the gun cycles but the cutoff lever cannot release the trigger trolley, effectively letting off more than one shot per pull, whereas a decise and firm trigger pull will make sure the COL engages the trigger trolley properly.

Use those £100 to do the above and enjoy your ARP-9!

Are the wires thick and bendy or are they thin and rigid?

G&G ETU moment. Get rid of it, install a nice Perun Hybrid or Jefftron Scylla, profit. Throw in a Perun Speeder if that's your jam, or a Clicker if you want a less speedy boi trigger feel. While you're at it, have the bushings, nozzle and piston replaced. Check air seal and replace piston head o-ring if necessary. Fuck off the stock G&G hop rubber and go for a maple leaf.

256x192 is something I would avoid. Bare minimum should be 384x288, nowadays they can be obtained for not THAT much coin. Drop the wifi, range finder and bullet drop bollocks, change the base magnification to 2x instead of 3.56x, have the thing use an ACOG mount instead of the weird ass rail most thermals come with, include a glass protector of some sort. Even if the overall price rises to 1k, it's still going to be competitive.

If you can find them, La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II. I have the leather version and man, the most comfortable boots i have ever worn. Plus they're stupid light. Only downside is the price, they're not (too) cheap at €200ish.

Oh yes, by all means use it as a starter and feel free to bash it around! Unfortunately it's not a matter of IF, but a matter of WHEN it will break (just like everything in Airsoft tbf), so when it happens try and have some disposable cash available for something that can be upgraded down the road. Remember to ask around for advice, even to people on the field. This applies to guns and gear too!

The whole rifle. It's polymer but it's super heavy, threads are inverted (as said above), the receiver is proprietary so you cannot fit aftermarket gearbox shells (and in no time you wish you had bought a different gun). Pistol grip fucks the motor angle. God forbid you want to install some "octarms" parts, wildly off spec even for Ares stuff.. Internals are abysmal, zero air seal to begin with, gearbox is proprietary and poorly made (very thin at the front, where it usually cracks), bushings are made of aluminium (yes, aluminium, they last very little), compression set is bad, especially the piston, it loves to crack at the rear, gears aren't good and due to how the etu controls the cycle (via a magnet) you have very limited options for upgrades, ETU is trash tier, proprietary to the gearbox and has the tendency to fry itself plus if you set battery protection to 11.1v it won't recognise 7.4v batteries anymore, nozzle and tappet plate are bad, plate will probably snap the fin within 2 months of use. Hop rubber is paper thin, doesn't lift anything past a 0.2 and it will most likely rip apart within 3 mags. Sauce: i had two Ares M4s. Edit: I'm sorry, but it had to be done, probably if you asked before buying we could have warned you.

At the cost of sounding like a dickhead.. Who recommended you that piece of junk? Btw, the thread is 14mm CLOCKWISE, because Ares, so 99.99% of airsoft muzzle devices will NOT fit.

Another cause is how high/low the magazine sits relative to the hop unit and it's a combination of lower receiver, magazine retention latch and hop unit itself. In fact good hop units have adjustable feed tubes to compensate for this. In any case EPM1 mags seem to give more issues than benefits

two problems: a) y'all should give up on the "grenade kills the whole room" or mercy/knife kills altogether. b) whenever those rules are in play, there needs to be a ref/marshal INSIDE the room the pyro is thrown in, otherwise it's the wild west.

Tournament yesterday. 5 objectives, the first started off REALLY bad, i brought my thermal optic because the temperature was low enough for it to work, and it did, had no issues finding defenders "hidden" among vegetation. The bad part was the last defender, who took out 3 teammates, i spotted him on my thermal, shot him, saw him flinch through the optic, then after a full high cap dumped on his side, he turned and shot me.... Luckily i had two other teammates remaining who shot him so much he had to call the hit. This was the only instance, everyone else on the organisation side was very honest (or at least they appear as such), actual objectives were really cool and although we didn't complete everything at 100%, we had an awful lot of fun. Final leaderboard isn't out yet, but talking to the strongest team we appear to be just 100 points behind them, which is a very low number, it's either a 2nd place or a third in the worst case. Kit used: DSG speedy boy thing + thermal Mayflower chest rig Pentagon backpack Frv belt. This week we also have a 30h game and it's going to be hell (35km expected, probably more) and the weather forecast isn't the best...

- Invader Gear short sleeve combat shirt in a-tacs fg - 5KU (i know, it's shit) PT6 something AR stock adapter for my Cyma AK - Bit kit for my leatherman wave+ (not for Airsoft, it was on discount and couldn't let it go) Next will be a helikon 2 piece belt for work, so i can strap some pouches on it.
