  1. A few things. For me: F9 Gear Ammo Hub in RG (thanks for making them available in Europe @TheFull9, won't be here before two weeks tho); Templar's Gear Harness in Ranger Green for my rifle belt; 2x WE valves for my AA glock mags; 3x Glock ranger plates, I keep breaking them -.- For friends: 2x WE Glock mag; 1x AAP charging ring; 1x TTI AAP Magwell; 2x WE valves; 1x Maple Leaf 60° Decepticon; 3x Glock ranger plates.
  2. Nice bait. It's not the gun, it's the player, give a cunt an AEG/GBB/BA/£10 springer and he'll still be a cunt. Also you should look for other sites
  3. First game of the year was a short, wet cqb session at the abandoned fort. 8 people, we played a few 4v4s with pistols, which gave me the chance to finally use my TTI AAP carbine. I definitely need higher sights as the Evo ones I bought for it are way, way too low. And maybe a torch.
  4. I'd go shotgun shell because it's less cumbersome but you don't get as many rounds as with an M4 mag.
  5. If you only play WZ/DMZ then you don't need to buy the game, unless you want to grind guns/attachments/camos/ranks beforehand.
  6. Though I have sold a lot of stuff on Telegram groups, and got a few bargains in return (mostly from people who had no idea and no, I don't feel bad about it).
  7. Numbers are low these days, but we finally managed to have a day out shooting. I managed to "fix" my AK, when I plugged the battery in, though, the nozzle decided to leak like crazy which made the gun unusable.. So back to ol' reliable (KA PDW). Games went well, we had a few people who were trying out Airsoft for the first time and overall a fun, cold day. Also had the chance to share some of my teching knowledge with a couple of people, so hopefully they won't make silly purchases based on YouTube reviews
  8. E&L has a very slight difference in quotes, but it's enough to make externals NOT compatible with LCT/Cyma and vice versa. I've had an E&L, nice gun but the receiver was slightly off spec and it caused the gearbox shell to break, so I just replaced the whole gun with a Cyma. Aesthetically though, they're fucking beautiful. TL;DR can't go wrong with Cyma (VFC clones), they're solid guns at decent prices. LCT and E&L have better quality externals but their QC isn't the best. LCT in particular is overpriced.
  9. Can't speak for the Revenger, but I have had their Predator pants (mk1) for about 6 years and they're still holding up fine, no major cuts or anything, no discoloration, just the stretchy parts around the knees that lost some of their elasticity.
  10. It's still weak, maybe not as weak as the original black one, but not ideal for prolonged use. I've already seen a few shanked ones at my local retailer (the owners probably abused full auto from the get go)
  11. Might be the feed lip being too short, so when the nozzle goes into battery (fully forward), it doesn't seal anymore against said lip. The opposite issue (lip being too long) is common on Maple Leaf rubbers, which causes feeding issues. (it's why we have 450 thousand different nozzle lengths to choose from btw)
  12. Safariland 579 if you aren't running a torch/tracer/optic. Failing that, Waldo Customs has a universal kydex holster, or Deadly Customs may make you one. Blackhawk Omnivore maybe?
  13. Oh, wasn't taking a punt at you, but rather at those retailers/manufacturers who state it on their websites just to increase sales.
  14. Hello, 1) Depending on which flavour of MOSFET/FCU you buy, it does much more than simply prolonging the trigger contacts life. Most notable features are cycle detection and active brake, they make sure the gearbox stops its cycle in the same spot every time and mitigates lockups; More "high end" units will have precocking, binary fire, adjustable levels on both AB/Precocking, adjustable trigger sensitivity, but these functions are mostly for hardcore CQB use 2) Generally, yes, except for ARES guns, they're shit and their EFCS is equally as bad, avoid. Depends on where you play though, if you only play at woodland sites in full auto, an FCU isn't strictly necessary but still nice to have, even if you're a beginner; 3) Definitely, avoid shady stuff like KWA, Ares, weird shaped guns with non standard gearboxes (Cyma SVD and VFC MP7 come to mind). Every gun will break at some point, tolerances and quality of parts matter but it's still a question of "when", not "if"; 4) "upgraded out of the box" doesn't really make any sense. Parts that the manufacturer installs in the factory, even if fancy, don't count as "upgrades". Also most "upgrades" are shit anyway because bad quality - bad installation - bad QC so you may end up replacing them anyway. To answer your specific question, a VFC based Cyma AK will be an inexpensive gun that you can upgrade (for real) later on. I'd also stay clear of anything with a barrel length greater than 10/12" since this parameter matters sod all in airsoft, in some cases a longer inner barrel gives nothing but troubles; 5) it's just as easy as your average M4, once you accept the fact that AK magazines are shit (regardless of the brand) and won't feed on high RPM builds.. don't ask how I know . Externals are heavier and generally require a hammer + dremel combo to properly fit, but look infinitely better than the average instagram operator M4.
  15. But then I'd need a Matrice drone Problem is, that's even more expensive at 9k base (this one was 5k base + 4k accessories)
  16. That is because by installing the delayer chip you caused timing issues. What was happening inside your gearbox was that the piston was being released while the nozzle was still travelling forward (a delayer chip, well, delays the tappet plate release point and in most cases it anticipates its pickup). Since the system wasn't sealed (nozzle needs to insert into the hop rubber to seal) you'd lose air and get inconsistent, lower FPS readings. 10 FPS is still 3 m/s which means your air seal still isn't optimal, but that's a whole different story.
  17. Absolutely not related to Airsoft, I just felt the need to flex. DJI Phantom 4 RTK survey drone. Along with its RTK-2 ground GPS station.
  18. The AEG thread is pretty much "standard", any AEG specific handguard will fit. What I would worry about is the base of the outer barrel, in some cases the outer is too chunky and the barrel nut can't slide all the way to catch the threads (G&G handguards are known for doing that, super tight barrel nuts that don't fit anything but their own outers)
  19. Accuracy and range is mostly a compression/hop setup thing. You need consistent "volume" output and a good hop up rubber/patch that gives consistent spin to the BB. The first can be easily addressed, it's mostly a matter of lubrication and replacement of o-rings (except for the nozzle, you may want a new one and it's an easy swap), the second is where it gets interesting: You have four parts: Hop unit; Tensioner (or nub); Hop rubber (or R-Hop patch); Inner barrel The only requirement I have for my hop units is to have a rigid hop arm (the main reason why I use Maxx units), it's more consistent and always applies the same amount of pressure. The same applies to tensioners, nowadays concave tensioners are the way to go (either embedded into the hop arm or a separate piece like the Maple Leaf Omega) since they affect a larger area on the hop rubber than regular, tube shaped ones. Hop rubbers come in all different shapes, materials and forms, it's mostly a matter of testing and finding out which one your gun likes the most, I've had good experiences with Maple Leaf Macarons. The same applies to hardness, most people like 60° rubbers, I had the best results with 70° ones. Inner barrels don't need to be fancy, they need to be clean and straight. Given that your gun is a G&G Combat Machine I would still replace the stock one as it's horrible and made of pressed tinfoil, luckily for you ZCI makes some affordable 6.02mm steel barrels that are good quality too! Generally I found that wider barrels are more consistent, but ymmv
  20. Lies. When I had the SSX I could barely get two mags worth from a single gas fill (that's 50 bbs). TM Mk23s can easily push 80/90 shots from a single fill because well, TM and tolerances and shit.
  21. I guess that's KWA for you. I had a KWA G19 that had roughly the same performance, out of a full magazine (25 rounds if I'm not mistaken) it could fire about 10 before running out of gas, and that was in summer when it's 30°+ here.
