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.

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.

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.

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.

I laugh to hard at the briefing scene. I think it was to mask the pain.

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.

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?

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.

1911 mags are either TM or Western Arms clones but generally due to tolerances you are better sticking to same manufacture as the gun. I am pretty sure WE are TM clones. Not sure what you mean by finickety generally speaking TM mags are better made than other brands of mag. if you have a TM for the sake of a few quid stick to TM made especially the newer M45A1 mags they have larger gas capacity.

in the end if you want to help and you have no useful skills to volunteer give money much more useful.

maybe so ain't seen any on the news but there is a shit load of AK variants. it's not about counting stiches it's about sending crap that will fall apart on the poor sod that gets issued it

I like the idea but unless you are willing to donate actual military surplus kit that is based on supporting the AK platform donating knock off Chinese gear with pouches for an armalite is going to do more harm than good.

Gel blaster? where did you purchase from?

Don't want be cruel but £140 for at least 3rd hand badly two toned WE glock 17. Missing the only reason to get a WE a metal slide.

Sp long as its not pressurised it should be with in parcel forces policy.

They won't distinguish between toy and real (airsoft is low powered air guns). Look at their firearms policy to see where you stand and then phone/email to get confirmation. You are unlikely to be charged/prosecuted with anything but loss of guns, temporary detention and missed flights are a real possibility.

Survivers bias. My team mate loves 5-7s but for some reason he only uses propylene. He gets a year and a half ish before he kills the gun he's on his seventh gun. He accepts this to get the advantage he belives higher powered gas gives him. Most of the time TM can handle higher power gas but they are not designed to and you a wearing the gun out prematurely. people in the UK get a pass due to lower ambient temperatures compared to Japan but I have seen plenty of people looking for their pistol slide because it was much warmer than expected.

Even if its acceptable under the carriers policy you could have issues with site staff not knowing policy. Not me personally but friends on a uk internal flight get held up because of airsoft they had declared and only just made their flight. There also could be a cost implication in that the carrier may require a real steel gun case with specific locks that could end up being exspensive.

how cold is cold? if its below 10c that's actually pretty good. was it actually able to empty a mag. I personal just write off sub 15c days as not for pistols. You could put higher flow parts in the mags but this only a part year problem.

done it twice both went walkies and i was out of pocket as insurance didn't cover it.

Well this is optimistic https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134032407430?hash=item1f34f43b86%3Ag%3AzzcAAOSwZ0diFUFf&LH_ItemCondition=4

nah it using over pressured gas. People keep saying TM will handle green gas fine, they don't if you haven' broken a TM using over pressured gas you are just lucky.

Well done very cool you will however be sweaty when you wear it. do you have spare lenses as i would point blank test them make sure they ae up to it and that they won't come loose.

yeah that's a typical crack of a slide cycling too hard. the gun is not designed to use Green gas the effect will be worse in doors due to a higher ambient temperature increase the gas power especially if you are dry firing.
