eh, the combat union for the ak is pretty much just as good from a performance perspective.

looking at his other threads (all 2 of them) i'm thinking maybe he's an airtech affiliate? either that or he's a really big fan

are you being employed by maxx/umbrella armouries? because this reads like a sales pitch.

Sie haben Staatsgeheimnisse preisgegeben, verlassen Sie Ihr Haus nicht, die Geheimpolizei wird in Kürze eintreffen

yeah it's one of those issues where the combo of proprietary parts and potential failures of those parts can create a perfect storm. i think i'm gonna have to just take a proper look at one up close and see, if it's possible to at least default to a standard gearbox then might not be so bad.

not sure on the sidefolders, the only ones i've met that had RS stocks on them were pt5's on standard trunnion i know their full length ak's fit the rs handguards with very little tweaking but i've not tried it on one of their u's, but granted they are longer than cyma/jg handguards.

as your cursed builds go skara that's not that bad

afaik isn't the e&l meant to be closer to RS spec than the other versions? as i've mentioned before the rule with ak's is "if it don't fit imma make it fit"

Perfect timing seeing as i just got a repro set off a member here:

Its worth pointing out that you dont have to be running about all the time when playing airsoft, you can play at your own pace. One of the best counters to a player charging round the sides is an old bugger quietly parked in a hedge like a sentient landmine and there absolutely is value in having a couple of players in a team doing that.

oh no the geardo's are still valid targets. especially when they're wearing mtp in woodland.......

I'm not sure i'll be buying another lct for a while after the let-down with the last one i bought.

Absolutely this. I make no claim to be any kind of master of stealth. But i've seen (or more correctly not seen) what someone with a few skill points in the sneak tree can acheive wearing plain olive. Camo is unnessecary if you're not where the other guy is looking.

Tbh for the most part i'm in agreement, but a bit of light hearted banter every now and again isnt so bad. End of the day it takes all sorts, speedsofters might be an easy target but there is an argument that every team needs a few folks doing that job just like it needs slow buggers like me methodically picking people off at range and one cant function without the other.

Not necessarily, we're talking fractions of a mm difference between brands. Not to mention valves etc.

wait, there's more to airsoft than moaning about how other people play airsoft!?!?

tbh if they're not doing something to make it obvious they're on my team they're getting shot, and if they complain they've only got themselves to blame. kind of ironic really considering a lot of the ghillies you see are either totally mis-matched for the terrain and stick out like a sore thumb, or the wearer is trying to speed-soft with a bolt action to the point they plainly don't care about stealth to begin with.

they really do, even worse is when you see them feathering the trigger with their off-hand for the full speedsoft experience. odd to see it on an m9 though, normally it's just hicapa's and glocks fall victim.

fair enough, it's mostly internals i'm concerned about, the externals look pretty damn solid. fella i was chatting to at the site didn't mention any issues but he hadn't had the thing that long.

one issue i can think of is the seal against the nozzle, if the mag is slightly shorter it'll not seal tight and vent gas even if nominally it might fit/feed/fire

There is simply no substitute safety rating for doing as you've done and testing the thing yourself. I agree with the battery compartment, and even though mine worked as designed the fan is simply too anaemic to de-fog.

Tbh, for an evo i'd say its not worth bothering. The whole point of that gun is its good enough out of the box to make it very hard to upgrade.

Sounds like a jammed bb that cleared itself when you pulled the mag. I'd give the barrel a good swabbing and see how she shoots.

Beleive it or not i've quit the hpa, gone back to aeg's with a little gbb mixed in. Daytona'd e&l is very tempting though..........

External wise theyre on a par, really the only reason to get the bolt would be to have the recoil. I'll maybe try and sneak a closer look at one in me local when lockdowns over see if i can see what the options are if the mech breaks.
