  1. active brake mosfet on a support gun, for all the good that's gonna do..... only thing i can see bumping the price up is the elcan, but it's not specified if it's real or not.
  2. havent used them myself but a few mates have ordered plenty of hpa bits from them and not heard any issues.
  3. if you know your stuff you can be wearing plain olive and dissappear the moment you walk into a bush. i wouldn't beleive it if i hadn't seen (or more correctly not) seen it happen....
  4. me dad always said keeping up to date with your union dues would pay itself back some day
  5. people may say i'm dramatizing but it weighs about as much as a small motorcycle i mean i never expected a steel pbs4 to be light but the walls of the can are 4mm thick in places.....
  6. Approximately 3 tons of pbs4 shaped steel goodness with a tracer unit inside:
  7. From my perspective its a combo of my phone having a shit camera and not knowing how the hell you rotate photos when uploading them, for some reason even if the orientation is normal itll flip when uploaded. Of course if someone asked me for more or better pics i'm happy to oblige as far as possible.
  8. well, there goes any hope i had of selling anything on here
  9. ffs shut up dude, i had them fooled with the long con
  10. this is why i like the forum environment, gives you a better feel for the person you're buying/selling with. i'm much less dubious of buying from someone i see posting regularly and being part of the community. of course its understandable that the likes of ebay etc are going to have that extra layer of paranoia surrounding them.
  11. As much as i'm against scammers and have sympathy for their victims, posting the guys bank details for all and sundry seems a tad ott no? I mean we've already named and shamed the guy so folk should know to avoid.
  12. you've not met the kind of players i've seen, our record so far is failing to call a broadside from a 40-mike...... couple of months back running the dragonuv there was a chap in that position, called me over to take a shot (because of course big gun with a scope=more range but that's by the by and tbf i was yeeting .48's), my first shot went about a foot over the guys head, close enough for him to flinch but definately not a hit, meanwhile all i'm hearing is "you hit him you hit him". likewise yesterday i was being credited with a double kill despite being 99% certain the first guy the bb passed didn't make contact (ironically he was the guy i was aiming at, the second bloke walked out at the wrong time) unless you not only see the bb land, but you know it's close enough to impact with authority and hasn't bounced off a mag pouch or something where they might legitimately have not felt/heard it, then you gotta give them the benefit of the doubt.
  13. Oh for sure, the diminishing returns is strong in this hobby. The biggest lesson i learnt from the m4 is perfection is nice but not worth the effort over "good enough" and that was after having incrementally got it there over the guts of a decade
  14. Tbh e&l's stock barrel/bucking are pretty passable, although i'm not saying you shouldnt throw a macaron in there......
  15. The problem with "upgrades" is the ability to make a gun perform better often lies in simply assembling it properly with a few choice parts in the places where they really count. Its not a case of buying the most expensive iteration of each component, slapping them together and expecting the end result to be better.
  16. Are the biscuits and beverages provided? If so can we set the age limit at say, my age minus a year? 😛
  17. Kinda situational really, depends how far back the spawn is, how realistic the enemy advancing is etc. These days i try to focus more on not getting hit than on hitting other people, so i normally do take the full walk (and generally try a different direction/angle) Ofc the solution is fall back games without fixed respawns, although you still get folks with very short legs who can do 30 paces in about 5m
  18. a fair point, only really works if you're being honest and giving a realistic interpretation of how long it should take to get back into the action. ofc airsoft is filled with things that only really work if you're being honest.....
  19. can we take a moment to appreciate the position of that foregrip?
  20. as long as from the enemy's perspective you walk out of their sight and don't come back for a realistic amount of time i don't see the issue.
  21. so, ummm

     

    this is a thing:

      the ak isn't as unweildy as you'd think as long as you're not filling the whole front end with aluminium rails.....

      I know that they aren't unweildy ;) My 74u is actually pretty balanced despite being made of granite or something.

      It's just that adding 800 grams right on the tip would make it really unbalanced.

      it's not so bad, had a pretty heavy can on my e&l 74u.

       

      this is going to be a situational thing though, for night games etc.

       

      although granted it does make a stronger argument for getting a 105 over a 74m :P

  22. same, i mean when you're selling secondhand stuff you're gonna be taking such a loss anyway from depreciation. same with paypal fees, end of the day it's the price you pay for convenience of being able to safely accept money and not worth arguing over. skipping a days shooting is going to save you more money than you're gonna lose in postage+fee's most of the time.
  23. agreed, both buying and selling it's easier to just give a straight posted price. only time i can see postage being a big enough issue to deal with separately is if you're posting international which isn't a massive issue given most of our members are uk based.
  24. not really an issue with the pricing here given all the stuff that comes with it, but a dsg on a barrel that length? edit: forget that, looky what i just found: even if it's a recoil model that's a tad steep given the info provided.....
