Do you mean the tip rather than the main body?
The main body, it doesn't slide into the magazine as it should it gets jammed.

Weird question but has anyone found a brand of CO2 cartridges that are slim? I'm aware they're supposed to be standard but I'm having trouble finding ones that don't get stuck in my WE magazines.

Yeah, I've ordered a few times from KY including parts and RiFs and got them without issue. (Of course its always possible for things to go wrong)
You do have to be prepared to wait as it can take up to a month to get to your door.
I suppose one thing that would particularly scare me is if it arrived shooting too hot. Do you know if KY are bad for that?

There is physical stock that may not be listed online. Someone may have a lead on what you want here in the UK already.
I'm after a WE R5C GBBR; their little PDW stocked honey badger-ish thing. The 5.56 one not their new PCC thing.

I appreciate the advice of just doing it, I agree it'll probably be fine; I'm still not comfortable doing it. I might try Zero One but knowing their prices I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to double the price.

I want to pick up a GBBR that I can't get in the UK from KYAirsoft. I really hate the laws around importing and the horror stories of dealing with clueless customs even with UKARA. I figure retailers have to deal with this all the time so I wonder if I could just link them and ask them to pick it up so I can buy it off them for a mark-up or something like that. Anyone ever tried anything like that and cares to share a retailer that's amenable to it?

My CYMA M9 works fine! Granted it only puts out 230fps but it sprays pretty hard on lipos so people notice eventually!
This answers my question though so I will save myself a buck and stick to electric when it gets cold.

I won't lie I suck at irons and my pistol aim really is that bad the RMR has been a life saver 💩 Maybe I'll just accept that as soon as it gets to around 10C it's time to get out my AEP.

So my WE G18C is great but it's not cycling brilliantly even in moderately low temps (~10C) and using black gas only really helps down to about 5-7C. I'm frequently assured TMs are magic and work in low temps but I'm skeptical. I love the G18C and want to continue using one as my side arm; will going TM really help me keep cycling as temperatures drop?
Bonus question, I'm sure at least some of the low temp cycling is down to that plastic slide. I use an RMR on my G18C; if I add that to the slide is the extra weight going to kill the cycle?

Just as a counter point I've been using Geoffs natural (and super) BBs in my midcaps and gas guns since I started playing. I've never had one shatter or jam inside either. This isn't to discount your testing, I could believe they're more fragile than other brands, but perhaps not enough to cause actual issues.

Couple coats of clear coat paint is probably your cheapest option.
Any brand in particular for this? I've used this before, think it'd do?
-
Anyone who's had a black WE knows the paint job can rub off with photon pressure alone in direct sunlight. I've never seen such weak finishes. If you've got a new WE, is there a cheap and easy way to keep the paint on?

Ares CCP for £125; I've got the CCC, great little pistol M4s. I particularly like the CCP for looking like a Warhammer 40k bolt pistol,

Yes, yes I know, bBgUnz4leZ but I've never actually had a problem with them and 20 cans of Nuprol 2.0 green gas for £100 is a good deal,
https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/nuprol-2-0-airsoft-green-gas-300g-x-20-large-cans.html
I got it down to £95 because I was logged in and had it in my basket but didn't buy. The next day I got sent a 5% discount code.

A helpful hint for those looking to order that I've just figured out. If it says "1 in stock" or however many they have under the picture on the product page, it means they've actually got it ready to ship. If it doesn't have anything under the photo it means they're selling them on backorder which I think is the practice that really causes the vast majority of issues people have with this retailer.
I think they really shoot themselves in the foot selling stock they haven't received yet without telling you as much because it makes them seem untrustworthy. I think they'd find if they just said "available on backorder" people would still order for the good prices but have far greater patience when it takes an unspecified time to arrive. Airsoft World also sell on backorder with flexible estimates but by and large they have relatively good reviews because you are made fully aware of the conditions of sale.

12% off stuff that isn't discounted on Gunfire,

I have seen there is a v2 out now, I was quite surprised and very disapointed by the lacklustre reports on these. Knowing how Jason is about his store and in general the calibre of the parts he has offered for the SRS it's a shame that v1 nub wasn't equally as good. Saying that though I think the FOW is the "killer" product in this category so how do you improve on that?
I've missed something, what's the FOW?

@Asomodai What's the finish like on the chub? Seen a few reviews that weren't too favourable of it.
I realise this was posted a while ago but I'll respond anyway. I sent mine back immediately on arrival. It was visibly not square, didn't fill the hop window, and was covered in flash. Very poorly produced 3D print with no QC. I got mine on the day of release though so maybe they've gotten better.

The problem with bios is they are hygroscopic meaning they absorb water even from the atmosphere. This will make them swell and jam in the gun. Yes, a gun can be damaged by BB's getting stuck or shattering inside.
I've been using Geoffs Bio BBs more or less since I started airsoft which has included long breaks and using BBs that were several months old and I've never had this problem. In fact I've never had a jam on Geoffs, period.

I'll just wait for a Perun V2 to come back in stock on some cunt website and install it.
TaiwanGun's got it but delivery fees are killers and they're not as cheap as, say, Bullseye Country Sport who stock it but are out.
You could also give contacting Perun directly a punt, they responded in a day last time I emailed them.

More technical question incoming, how would you build something that has lightning fast cycle time in semi auto, but actually slow (low 20s) ROF?
For nice trigger response but sensible ROF I would suggest standard 18:1 gearing, 11.1V lipo, optical MOSFET with precocking. I like the Perun one in my AK74SU. Does about 22 RPS but retains a snappy semi aided by a short light trigger pull.
