Kewl, imma order one

Can't see it either. The description says compatible with TM and WE, but I wouldn't trust website descriptions tbf. EDIT: quick look at the item code (AW-VXMG04) showed this https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/m317/Armorer-Works/p44319/Armorer-works-VX-series-GBB-50-rounds-gas-magazine/product_info.html Looks like a regular WE router, but in red.

https://emperionstore.com/vx-50rd-gas-magazine-armorer-works.html These mags. Not €36 but 40. Still cheaper than WEs.. Are they MOS crap?

The fuck's MOS?

If standard WE mags fit, extended WE mags will fit as well. Actually, on magazines, are the AW mags the same as WE? Because I've found some extended AWs for cheaper than WEs (€36 vs 50 a piece)

We can't play because of restrictions, but we can go on the field and maintain it, so that's what we did. We restored one old trail to an area of the field we haven't really used in a long time. We're going to do maintenance until we are allowed to play again. Next week i will bring the ghillies with me, so I can start crafting them.

It's called momentum and it's mostly why engineers (and to a limited extent us surveyors) hate architects with a passion

New Specna for my wanker gun project

I need to get my hands on one.

Could be. Maybe it's just me being fed up with proprietary stuff. And wanting a less common base to build a wanker gun onto The more I look at it, the more I want it.

I really like it. So shiny Please kill me now.

I did play this Sunday, was muddy but it wasn't raining. Had some serious fun, although my gun wasn't behaving properly as shots were going everywhere but where I aimed (I later found out that the barrel had two nasty scratches on the inside for some reason). In one instance I was aiming at one player but hit the guy 2 metres to his left Overall a good day, hits were called, laughs were had.

B6AC clone for €15. I could have spent more on the real deal, but not knowing how to tell it apart from clones I didn't want to risk being scammed to shit

The cylinder is made of brass, which is a really soft metal to begin with. The butt plate (the shaft where the handle slides on) is simply pinned to the cylinder. With use the pins enlarge the holes in the cylinder and eventually it'll just come off. This happened to me with a SP100 spring within 100 rounds, others had theirs snap off instantly. Plus the thing is so rough to pull and push back in battery. You'll start to notice the handle wobbling a bit at first, then more wobble and finally it'll break. I recommend buying a steel cylinder (either latest gen one piece or the two piece with welded pins from Ares. Action Army also makes a really good cylinder for the striker). On mine (AS-02) I have changed the hop up arm with a 3d printed one, changed the barrel to an AA 6.03x300mm steel, changed the piston and spring guide with AirsoftPro ones, cut the SP100 down to get it below 1J (my national regulation lol), swapped hop rubber for a Maple Leaf MR-Hop 50° and changed the trigger for a @Samuraione. I also have a Samurai's straight pull handle which I put on and off depending on how I feel. Plus I've filled all the empty spaces with cotton wool/foam and machined a suppressor from the standard 14mm CCW to the 23mm CW thread of the barrel, this way I don't need an adapter to mount a suppressor on. Shoots nice and straight, reaches up to 65/70 metres on 0.3s (at 0.92 Joules)

Ares has 300mm outers available for sale. I mentioned buying a 02 because along with the barrel you need to replace the sears (and piston) with 90° ones, then replace the cylinder because the stock one can't even stand 100 rounds at 1J. All these modifications end up costing you quite some money, whereas All of them (except for the cylinder) are already present in the stock 02.

Because in the real world a longer barrel means more velocity, more range and more accuracy. Airsoft sniper rifles try to mimic the exterior look of said real rifles, but we have completely different mechanical principles to work with. Range and consistency are given by a good hop up and a clean, straight barrel, along with the least amount of leaks in the whole system.

yeah, a €350+ cylinder kit from EdGi. A new gun is €150. Do your math. Also accuracy (if we can call it accuracy) is not related to barrel length. Actually, people have better results (so more consistency) from shorter barrels than with longer ones.

Sell it and get a 02.

Unfortunately not an option, I'm keeping the AAP as a sidearm. Plus running HPA here is tricky, I don't have a compressor, scuba shops aren't keen on filling HPA and I'd like to keep my scuba cylinders for diving

Has to be pistol calibre though, I already have 2 (well one is still somewhere between Poland and Italy) tricked out M4s.

Title's kinda self explanatory. I was looking at my ARP-9 the other day, great little gun, nice trigger response, nice ROF (around 22 RPS in its stock configuration), compact size and somewhat lightweight. But it has a few niggles, namely the hop chamber being a bit meh, the stock bushings being brass, the gearbox (as with all G&Gs) lacking a QC spring and having the screws on the other side and the magazines. Most of these cons aren't really an issue, bar the last one. The available magazine really kill the gun's potential.. The stock high cap sucks, can't feed more than 10 bbs before needing winded again, needs to be bashed often (bbs get stuck inside because of the slim design) and the winding mechanism itself is crap. The G&G midcaps are shit, €30+ per mag and they only hold 60 rounds. Absolutely impossible to find. The Classic Army X-9 mags are about €25/30 per mag depending on the retailer, hold 120 bbs but 3 out of 3 mags that I have come with springs so weak they feed the first 10 bbs and then don't have enough tension to lift the other 100. Also really hard to find here. Then there is the drum: that thing is marvelous, feeds everything, is rock solid and being mechanical it doesn't require extra batteries. Very little that can go wrong with it, props to G&G for making it good (also available in 5.56 form which I have, mp5 version and others). Don't get me wrong, the gun + drum combo lets me run really lightweight loadouts (belt, small pack, that's it) which is fantastic for summer games, but sometimes I feel like I'm missing something by not having to reload. So I'm here questioning the permanence of the ARP-9 in my "armory", ideally I should just buy some superfeed springs but, just like them magazines, they are hard to come by. While browsing the internet I've come across a few neat looking PCCs, namely the KWA QRF series, specifically the MOD 1 with its curved MP5 style magazines. The thing is way out of my league though, retailing at €350+, being out of stock everywhere and has the same issue of proprietary magazines. Following that style, I have found the King Arms PDW 9mm series of AEGs. They take regular MP5 mags, opening up to a whole lot of different mags (high caps, midcaps and G&G drums) for much less than say G&G/CA/KWA mags. From what I've seen online they are mostly polymer, feature a weird 7mm QC gearbox and a somewhat basic mosfet, along with a supposedly decent 25k motor. Oddly enough they come with an older style gear hop unit. Price wise, they aren't the cheapest, being mostly unavailable in Italy (can get some from the UK for roughly €210/220 posted). A few variants available, the shorty with a 5" ish front end, the long that should be around 7/8", the M-Lok and the SD (M-Lok variant with a suppressor). I'm particularly interested in the Long version, it has that MP5A5-esque look that is very intriguing, plus it's of decent length. But I've heard mixed feelings about these guns, some say they're great, others say they're shit (as with all things really), some complain about the magazine wobble. I don't care too much about the internals, if I end up buying one I'll be doing the same shit all over again (13:1, HT motor, good FCU, blah blah blah). What should I do? Halp pls 😢

Yeah, doesn't look too shoddy. I'll see if I can fit it to the ARP-9 tonight to see what it looks like, but it'll probably go on my new specna whenever it is delivered.
