Have you cleaned and oiled the gun at all or is it bone dry?

If you want to fit a wooden stock you'll need to change the lower receiver to one with the correct connectors for a wood stock.

I wouldn't swap springs. They will most likely fit however was KWA 1911s have metal slides so will have higher rated spring than TM so there could performance loss or just straight up malfunction.

Animals should never be in a game zone.

other way round. Star were around 10/15 years ago went away and suddenly there was Ares producing guns that were exactly the same as the Star ones.

They'll sell. People don't buy unusual guns so why would a relatively small company spend possibly 10s of thousands developing a gun that won't be profitable? Go to any site there will be at least a 10 to 1 ratio of people not running an M4/AK.

Those guys won't sell to Airsofters.

High FPS and best aren't the same thing. Also the highest FPS you can have is set by 1st the law and 2nd site you play at rules. It is also good idea to be at least 10% under the site limit as if you are chrono'd over the limit. The best case us, if you don't have a back up and there are no spare rental guns you are packing up and going home.

If you have a TM Hi Capa stick to TM they are the best https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/tokyo-marui-hicapa-51-gbb-pistol-magazine-stainless31-rnd

GBBR Ruger Mini 14 GBB Spas 12. actually existing gun TM NRGS MP5 TM saiga-12k KWA GBBR AUG if it ever comes out WE 950 GBB

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.
