TW Croydon... ugh... Gave it 3 chances, each time it got worse if my choices were play there, or quit airsofting, Id probably quit airsofting.

Man I thought I had a problem with MP5 addictions, some of y'all are shoiwing me up! MP5s are undeniably the coolest looking gun ever made and anyone who says otherwise is just lying to themselves in a mixture of jealousy and denial. And the only thing an MP5 needs to look gucci as all fuck is the surefire flashlight handguard. Or the SD front end. Less is more!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/EM17-LS-SIG-Tactical-Holster/dp/B00PLTXAC0 something like that is what you want, I had one for my G17 with light. Pretty decent but I have a handgun hoarding problem and bankrupted myself buying custom hard holsters for each handgun and ditched the weapon light so I could just use a warrior universal Foubs does tonnes of mounting options too so you can swap the generic belt paddle for whatever you want if the belt mount doesnt do it for you, can swap it out for molle chest rig attachment, drop leg etc. EDIT: Im sure your post said you needed a holster for one with a light, but re-reading it looks like you didnt. I may be tripping balls or just got confused by Als post above If you dont need a light attachment, just get a warrior universal

But... then what do UKAPU do..?🤔 But... then what do UKAPU do..?🤔

A replacement spring is only like £3 on their website, thats not a bad idea actually, would mean less resistance pushing down if the spring works the way I think it works.

I use mine in woodland, but only for clearing buildings in the site I play which are all solid brick/concrete floored buildings, I don’t wanna throw it in the open onto soft ground because I’ll never find it again! I looked into softer primers previously, there was some confusion as to whether they were actually easier to set off or not whilst reading through actual gun forums talking about them. I’m using Fiocci 616s, the 615s are apparently softer but out of stock most places, I wonder if that’s why because they’re more consistent. Will have a look at finding CCI/Federal ones to try. As for the base, from the sounds of it I e got the hollowed out updated version so that’s nice \o/ regarding the mechanism annoyingly I can’t find a nice exploded diagram but here’s a pretty decent takedown From my understanding the of how it works, the firing pin isn’t spring loaded. It’s just the weight on top wobbles around and that pushes a plate down which pushes on the firing pin. So the head has to be smacked about by the impact with enough force to drive the plate down and hit the firing pin into the blank. Which makes me think adding more weight to the head would possibly mean it’s pushing down with more force, or if I shim between the head and plate it’ll push it further with less effort so more reliable detonating? Maybe? Thinking about trying a socket that would fit over the top of it and see if the extra weight helps. Or if I could somehow open up the head, drill out the soft aluminium and fill it with some lead or something.

I love blowing stuff up, grenades are great. Everyone thinks theyre so smug hiding in a choke point. Got a Quake 8 Impact grenade, and it makes me sad that it fails to detonate probably about 50% of the time, which is obviously sub optimal. And embarassing when you get all smug about grenading someone and its a dud. A quick google shows theyre pretty notoriously crap for this, failing to detonate most of the time on soft/woodland terrain and not much better on solid concrete surfaces. However nobody seems to have a suggestion to fix it, beyond "buy a better grenade". Has anybody else got one of these and suffered similar issues, and found a way to improve it? Im using the .209 shotgun primers in the multishot base. Looking at it, it seems like a very simple mechanism. The weight on the end of the grenade head wobbles about and that movement forces the pin down, but clearly with not enough force to set off the primers every time, can see a light dent on the primer but not enough to fire. So this got me thinking, there must be a way to add more force or a better firing pin? JB Weld some more material on the head to make it heavier, so it applies more force? Insert a spacer between the head unit and firing pin so it pushes it furher? A longer/pointier firing pin so it hits the primer better? All of the above? Any other suggestions? Or is it just a crap product thats half the price of a Dynatech for a reason?

Warrior Universal Pistol Holster, absolutely love mine and never need to buy another holster again which is handy when I have an obsession with handguns and have multiple to choose from.

Been there, done that, had 3 years of only having a bike as transport whilst at uni. All year round & winter commuting. Including riding from Cambridge to Cornwall to go see family for Christmas. Doesn’t matter how good your kit is, sooner or later the 70+ mph wind blast will force water in and you’ll be cold wet miserable and end up hating something you’re supposed to enjoy. Same goes for airsofting 😛

Id love a proper Mini14, the thread title got me excited. This doesnt look to be a practical skirmish weapon sadly. Come on Cyma... get on it!

It does feel like it hasnt stopped raining for the past few months, something on the news about it being the wettest February since records began. Everything around here in the East of England is a boggy flooded mess, every field you see is underwater. Ive got better things to do on a Sunday morning than get up early and go out in freezing cold rain, very much a fairweathersofter Been doing it for long enough now to not need to suffer miserable days playing it. Same with motorbikes, anyone who says riding in the winter slush grime mud and rain is anything other than unpleasant is just lying.

No idea, was so long ago can’t remember any names I’m afraid.

Back when I first got into airsoft about 15 years ago, I used to play at a site called Ironfoot Airsoft on a farm in Bude deepest darkest Cornwall, the chap who ran that site also had a store and claimed to be the chap who made/ran the UKARA database. One day in an act of desperation I needed to buy a new gun urgently out of hours as heading off for a game the next day, gave him a call and asked if I could come collect from his store that evening. Had a cuppa in his farm house whilst he looked me up on the almighty UKARA database, which was an excel spreadsheet on his kitchen lovely beige Windows 98 looking tower PC that anyone who went to school in the 90s would recognise. Ironfoot seems to no longer exist, cant find anything on the web about them beyond a few mentions of them in old airsoft forums of ye olde days. No idea what happened to them or the chap running it. He was fairly old back then, may no longer be with us. Looking on google maps at the postcode, I can see the milking barns we used to use as a CQB arena are still there but the farmhouse itself seems to have been demolished.

Too much effort, and cant be quick-swapped between guns. Im not made of money not buying a sling for each toy

Nah, 1 point sling all the way! None of this wierd gun bondage faffery. And I can just drop my rifle, it swooshes down to my side like a proper gucci smooth operator. Apart from the time I forgot I had lent the sling to someone else and wasnt wearing one and just dropped it straight on the concrete ground and everyone just stared at me like I was some kind of mad man... BUT other than that it looks proper cool like.
