[Inviting Friends and Their RIFs From Europe]

I assume that you have a defence as in  a UKARA number? As they only legal thing would be for them to post them to you and you be the "Owner" while they are in the country. it's illegal for them to bring their RIFs in to the country themselves with out a defence and they can't get one. to be honest with the cost of postage the risk of loss they are better off hiring at the site you intend to play at.

People used to vastly underestimate a good hop unit compared to shoving a 110 spring in blowgun and hoping for usable range.

 

Loads more to ask but I'm off out so will pick up later. Thanks again 🙏

They still do. Though massively over expensive machined hop units that rarely work are thing the Reddit crowd always recommend.

[So, what did I miss?]

The pecking order hasn't changed that much. Some manufactures have faded into the back ground and most flip flop on build quality. No one has made a quantum leap past TMs getting on for 25+ years old gear box design. HPA has made a comp back from the 90s anyone prepared to wear a tank proclaim the best. There is a much greater range of GBBRs which is ironic as you mostly just get ARs and AKs for AEGs. there is better battery tech and more electronics. However it's still the case that a person with a well set up Cheap AEG and a high cap can still out play geardos.

Just plinking in the garden so far, like I said only used AEG's in game so far. I know the kit is heavier, & I said we carry too much stuff so I expect it's a compromise to be made, I typically carry more mags than I'll need (current kit has 8 mags hi caps or mids depending on pew), a mix of realism-ish & stupidity.

I honestly think experience is key (getting more each time I play), Everyone whose commented so far has valid points but I don't think it's harder... time will tell if gaining more experience will change my mind.

I have been playing 24 years other than single shot indoor CQB i do not use a GBBR as i have been completely out gunned in every outdoor game play every time I played with a GBBR ( I am 6,5 over weight and rapidly heading for my mid forties. I can't do sneaky). The only successful use of GBBR out doors i have seen is an HPA'd High cap adapted abomination. 1) at that stage whats the point and 2) each player running that set up were over spamming W*@kers. I now just stick to TM Recoil master race with mid caps.

I must say, that my ghk m4 is considerably lighter than my TM 416, that thing is an anchor in comparison.

Ok, the mags do make a huge difference. 
I tend to carry 6 for either gun when fielding, so my loadout is probably slightly heavier when running the m4

each mag weighs about 400g when using v2’s

 

 

That is a light gun and the exception to the rule most of the weight is the mag.

No, I have some GBB's and I know they're fun to use... just don't see how they're harder.

Adds to the realism but not harder.

Again this adds to the realism, not difficult to carry an extra 1000 bb's & gas bottle (most of us carry too much kit anyway)

a stream of 'white' bb's isn't hard to find the source (with the exception of single shots)

true but trigger discipline helps which comes from experience (few new airsofters, will spend a wad on their first pew so more likely to use or buy an AEG).

Yes, but not harder.

again, yes agreed but all that comes from experience.

 

I'm not dissing GBBR's in any way, I just don't think it's harder.

 

My perspective is...

 

I'm a newbie so 100% so far have played only using AEG's, I have a cheap two tone Scar-L that I love to use but after a few games I now bring a selection of pew's (all AEG's), to use in game. I've used hicaps & midcaps depending if I want a bit more realism & which kit I'm wearing, I don't usually carry a secondary but have recently added a gas pistol to my kit for those oops moments. I occasionally slip into spray & pray mode but less than in my first few games, I now consciously pick my shots more whether I'm using hi or midcaps or not(as a result of a spray using mid caps during an embarassing assault).

It's probably no secret that I have a few pews in my collection, only a couple of my SMG's are gas powered but most of my secondary's are gas pistols, I know that at some point I'll get a GBBR to use in game (not to hang on my wall) but the cost of a single gas pew means I'll be more selective in this choice, which leads me to an earlier point... experience tells us what we like & how we want to play, what we want to use & even where we to play... owning, using & maintaining AEG's, GBBR's or HPI's is different in many ways but I don't consider any of them harder than the next.

 

Welcome to my TED talk.

So have you actually played a game using GBBR are you just going with your feelings? As you are say using a gun where you can't use full auto, will have to have changed all you mags while an AEG user will still have a 100rds in their 1 high cap, is significantly heavier than AEG, will require you to carry 2kg worth of mags and is actively throwing your aim off every time you shoot is not more difficult to use than an AEG with a high cap?

[Are any of the older TM gbb pistols still worth buying?]

The only one I would say to not buy is the M92F as the M9/A1 version is vastly superior. Though the M45 is an approvement over the 1911 the 1911 is still a perfectly good gun.

Thanks for the welcome and , The 177 pellet firing ones ? 

Then sadly you are in the wrong place. those are classed as airguns not airsoft and this forum is purely fort airsoft guns.

Necroposting here.

I recently acquired one of these:

Came from the company named after a South American River. Shipped from the UK, and didn't ask for a defence... £110.00. Pump action and shell ejecting. 

Also available moulded in "traditional" Nerf Gun colours.

Not having an airsoft version to hand, I cannot confirm or deny that the entire stock and pistol grip could be transplanted, or just the stock on to a pistol grip with the appropriate mounting holes.

If anyone is interested I could take measurements and post a few pictures of the grip to body mounting?

What's the body and stock made out of? Tring to decide if its work attempting a gas shotty transplant.

Why is everything always listed as "never used" or "used a couple times". Apparently nobody ever skrims their kit anymore 

I have on multiple time bought a gun or bit of kit go nah and put it up for sale before fielding it. I may or may not have sales threads with this being the case.

They're doing an A4 so I'd say it's only a matter of time (given what we were discussing about their penchant for rinse and repeat with the MWS)

Yeah they will do every variant they can it makes the most financial sense. I am wondering if they could pull off a MP5K with battery in the foregrip. I mainly have my fingers crossed for H&K G3 variants at some point in the future.

[MA40 assault rifle GBB conversion]

Nerf MA40 to GBB conversion begins. AAP-01 fits after removing some internal supports. . AAP and MA40 hacked up some more and the AAP is bolted to the left shell. Nerf mag hack up and spaced to fit the AAP mag. Long way to go got to figure out a mag release and charging handle, I may put a larger pistol grip in.
