heavier BBs should help 0.28g but the gun is nothing more than a novelty it's only useful at practically point blank range.

P90 is worth looking at good range for a small gun. you also have the plastic bodied ICS MP5s, I Had a G&G ARP9 which was light weight and handy. However i personally hand no problems but 3 of my team mates ARP9s broke in less than 6 months.

Oh yes!

Over in the land of the free and stopped by Airsoft Atlanta.

Unless you have access to laths, welding equipment and maybe a CNC machine very difficult even then still difficult. There are 3D printable files available for a single action shotguns but they will still a lot of effort to put together.

People don't seem to understand you actually have to aim. Keep seeing so many which gun is the most accurate on Reddit groups and keep wanting to type you actually have to learn how to shoot!

Go TM it's my secondary back up to my HK45.

As said if in doubt take the hit. Only call a ricochet if you are absolutely sure it is. I am pretty damn sure i have taken water drops as hits, as unless your 100% you didn't get hit take the hit.

1911 slide stops have an extended bit so that the magazine follower is engaged on empty. Hi capa slid stop doesn't so won't engage a 1911 mage follower on empty. the both how ever fit with no issue in the opposite gun.

If you fire too many rounds down a real gun in quick succession at best you will destroy the barrel at worst they will be picking bits of receiver out of you. So again is that design flaw or user error? I would agree if a AEG locks up after a double tap that is a design issue, But the term "spam the trigger" was used and that doesn't bring to mind double tap. If you use a gun that was not designed to be a speed soft gun like a speed soft gun and it fails that's user error. We are obviously coming at this for to different mentalities of playing so we are not going to see eye to eye. to the OP Tokyo Marui are still the best in the game for recoil that isn't going to cost 1.5k +. I have used a bone stock NRGS 416 with a 20c 7.4v 1300mha lipo for over two years and the gun has never locked up on me. Obviously other people have had different experiences all i can say is don't spend money on parts you don't need to.

Thats one that gets me when I am on Reddit amount of people going what's the asking most accurate gun or how to make their gun more accurate, never giving a minutes consideration to actually learning to shoot.

Is it still the TM MP5 style? I am sure I saw a classic army MP5 that had a G3 style rotary hop fitted.

There is a new TM version that has a mosfet fitted for about 300 might be worth a look. I have had multiple TM P90s and can highly recommend only issue is the high caps tend to jam so the best mags are MAG 170rd mid caps.

You can put O rings on to make it stiffer I believe that's CYMAs work around. The problem is it's one of TMs earliest Hop designs they have made great strides and I'll put money on the NRGS having better range than the other MP5s. If you really want light weight, compact and above average range I would really look at the P90 over the MP5.

The MP5 plastic bodies are all right, body creak is over exaggerated. their advantage is they are significantly lighter than the metal bodies. The issues with the original TM MP5 and therefore all the clones is the hop unit and the adjustment arm which is very prone to being knocked out of place. Hence why if I was to get a new MP5 I would go NRGS (believe me tring to justify it to myself at the moment) The P90 has a lot of air gap between the body and gearbox so you get some noise dampening. I have heard of people insulating their P90 with foam to muffle the noise but I'd be worried about setting the thing on fire.

Disagree with what statement the whole point of semi auto restrictions is to limit number of BBs in the air. If you are using semi auto to replicate full auto you are using the gun wrong. Using something in a way it's not supposed to use causing it to fail is use error. If car engine blew up because you are doing 70 in 1st you going to say that a design flaw or user error?

Ah so user error. Seems an expensive fix for either not spamming the trigger or just use full auto short controlled bursts.

If you are not going to go NRGS I would go ICS or Classic Army. However what ever you upgrade you are not going to make any significant reduction in noise.

People keep talking about semi lock on M4/416 NRGS I have run a 416 and most of my team mates run M4 variants for the last few years never had lock up issues. How common actually is it?

Except 99% non hit takers are people that just didn't get hit. so some poor sod gets lit up because airporters can't judge distance under understand wind deflection. Like life the rule that should not need to be spoken is don't be a dick.

Never played at a site where ricochet count, but i am pretty damn sure i have taken hits from drops of rain before, cause you are never quiet sure.

Thank you didn't know about this function. Hail Satan?

KWA doesn't have the functionality of TM and Bolt have serious build quality/reliability issues.

I bought a 3D printable file for a mini 14 receiver the plan is to cast it and make a semi auto HPA with a CO2 internal tank.

I have had several when i was younger i got bored quickly with airsoft guns ( who am i kidding still do) and sold them. Kicker was bought them for practically nothing and sold them just as cheap. It hurts seeing what they go for now.
