  1. I have a hankering for one every once in a while.
  2. Hi got the itch for a P90 can anyone confirm who the OEM is for the Cybergun P90. Can't seem to confirm if it's a cyma or not and is it any good?
  3. Depends when they were hit. If they are in the process of winding up to release the pyro, then finish the throw, dead man's revenge. If they are hit while striking it drop it a safe distance from themselves and any player in the blast radius is dead if not behind hard cover. I personally don't bother with pyro any more I had a bad habit of hitting trees and self killing when the thing bounced back.
  4. Honestly get rid of the nuprol charger and get a smart programmable charger. Many people rate imax brand charger.
  5. read the pinned posts. book a game hire a gun and play see if you actually like airsoft. speak to the other players see if they will let you have a good with their guns.
  6. what rubber and nub have you fitted? are you actually measuring the range? is the place where you testing exposed wind could be effecting the spread also stick to one brand of BBs when setting the hop.
  7. I personally have seen a couple of catastrophic failures on TM guns ( surprisingly i have seen significantly more major failures on guns with metal slides). With over pressured gas you are more likely to see warping over time causing the slide to stick/jam completely (Technically an advantage to plastic as it's more flexible than pot metal), internal failure generally the hammer mech causing the guns to be come sluggish until something breaks terminally.
  8. It's an AEP using the same gearbox as the TM MP7 and MAC 10 there are upgrades which will maybe get it up 300FPS. its a an indoor CQB or snipers back up.
  9. The guns are designed to run on 144A gas and in the UK other than in single digit temperatures will work fine. this means low FPS which many people think anything under 320FPS is bad. you can us higher power gases (Cyber Gun Extreme Blow Back APS 3 gas appears to be a lower pressure than green gas) just watch yourself when the temperature gets into the 20s things may go wrong. Now here's the thing you can run the gun for years on over pressured gas before it breaks (you will be wearing it out quicker than using 144A gas) or it could self detonate after a few games (external and internal parts can be damaged). My main concern is you have an 8ish year old gun that i assume you have done no maintenance in that time. if this is the case you should field strip the gun clean it and lube with silicon oil as the thing is probably bone dry. If you service it it should be ok on the gas you have with current temperature. As regards to upgrades they are not drop in. Just chucking parts at gun can make it functionally worse, will take fettling to fit especially fitting a significantly heavier slide. I personal take the view that GBB pistols are disposable items unless its a single part that has broken it's cheaper just to replace the gun than upgrade. so long winded sum up service the gun 1st. clean it after every game day use the gas you have until it runs out then personally gets some 144a and accept it will break at some point as all airsoft guns will do.
  10. for slide give this la a go https://www.facebook.com/lcsengineeringoutpost
  11. It's a clone of a TM if you get the metal receiver version it's surprisingly heavy. standard V2 gear box so no parts availability issues. it's a work horse gun nothing special JG hasn't done anything to them since they started selling them 15/16 years ago.. having a check all UK retailers are massively over charging for them they should be £100ish. really want Taiwangun to start shipping to the UK again.
  12. do you mean this https://3dmixers.com/m/232416-bootleg-m79-a-cyma-grenade-launcher-conversion-kit as CYMA don't make an M79
  13. Glock is a KWA don't know of any other company that copied the KSC/KWA NS2/System 7 design. the KSC/KWA are really well made guns let down by a poor hop. you only really see them these days sold rebranded as ASG but parts are still available. Regards the AK from it's outer condition it's just a Tokyo Marui AK47 full stock design from the late 90s( still in production). the moulding on the body says ASGK that's a Japanese industry regulatory body( fancy having one of those). that follows on that the glock is a Taiwanese KWA as if it were KSC it would have the ASGK marking for the Japanese market puts it mid 2000s when glock was getting arsy about trades. the wiring loom is bog standard from back in the day nothing to stopping you putting new connectors. the fuse box is just big enough for the connectors to hold the same type of fuse you get in a house hold plug. will run fine on a 7.4 lipo no problem.
  14. the Nuprol version is the king arms . Nuprol just rebrand other manufactures. I forgot about the breach action on the barrel that is a neat solution. basically unless you are willing to start drilling holes in the thing your options are cable ties or one off expensive mounts. what amount of money/effort are you willing to put into what is nothing but a cosmetic attachment?
  15. The main question is why? then your next question is where do you want to put it? then your final question is how permanent you want this to be? simplest get a short section of RIS and cable tie it to the barrel somewhere after the break. next option glue the RIS or the Scope to the barrel this will wreck the paint and fall off at some point. permanent option is to drill and tap the barrel and with lots of Loctite screw on a RIS. you now have two holes in your barrel. expansive way 1 build an over size pistol scope rail mount (some thing like in the picture) and use the hand guard screw hole to mount it. other expensive option would be to remove the front sight and have a site mount machined to fit the sight mounts on the barrel. last to options could be machined or much cheaper 3d printed but cheap is a relative term as the pieces need to be designed as well.
  16. different mentalities. As I said clubs are a legal ball ache over here. You have to the register club as business or charity then you have to have several positions that are elected such as president, Club secretary, treasurer and there has to be regular elections. The owner/operator model works relatively well over here. the site lives or dies on the owners ability to manage. I have seen a couple of sites ruined by Teams that had enough members to make serious dents in income of sites manipulate that fact to get the site to bend to play the way they want ignore game rules/ hit taking and basically ruin it for anyone not on the team. In a club system I could see a team with big enough numbers could take over a club a ruin it.
  17. you could do that over here but has a lot legal requirements to fulfil. you must either have massive numbers or land and insurance is dirt cheap. no site in the UK could function on that little per year most sites relie on hires to to cover costs and probably have less than 60 regulars at £70 that's only £4200 a year that wouldn't even be able to rent enough land to put a portapotty on. even if that was a £70 a month thats still nowhere near enough.
  18. Hence why Airsoft will neve become big. At most Skirmishes what most of your fees are going on is land rent ( I see you play Z-mart I don't even want to guess what they are paying rent for a site in the south of England) and business rates and don't make enough to pay a staff instead has volunteers doing it for free game and petrol money. if sites were to provide everything players wanted green fees would easily push £100+. how much is a Sports club membership, or a season ticket. Hell I payed close to £100 to see muse last time they toured (was it good valve no! was it a fantastic gig yes would i do it again? yes) Airsoft is a niche hobby that is expense you either accept that or find something else to do. Most sites are hanging on by a thread, numbers drop they're done, wood price goes up the site gets cleared, gentrifications comes to town the site gets levelled.
  19. They have good seals. You'll must likely have sub 300fps performance. But it will be significantly cheaper than running CO2 in the long run.
  20. Being mean sprited the fact you can't figure that out doesn't bode well for doing up grades. Unless you have a spare gun don't. This is advice from someone who has sold a lot of gearboxs in bits and just bought new guns and left them alone.
  21. I laugh to hard at the briefing scene. I think it was to mask the pain.
  22. What Rogerborg said. Anyway KWA don't make a M712 do you mean KWC? also which version as they make NBB and GBB models that are co2 powered. HFC also make a NBB co2 (probably the same gun as KWC) and WE make a green gas GBB that will not be hot. For the KWC you could either widen the nozzle to reduce pressure, reduce the spring on the knocker valve striker to reduce gas volume Or not use co2 at all and get some refillable green gas bulbs.
  23. As Tackle deep breath. Was it sent back buy uk customs. Did you request that the seller put your ukara details on the outside of the package?
  24. The slide stops are not interchangable as they are slightly different and a 1911 mag follower won't engage s hi capa slide lock. Slides get chewed up because the user is either using over powered gas or a stiffer recoil spring or both. Guid for using a TM pistol use the recommended gas and leave them alone.
