She certainly is ! This was the haul

Got one spare as it goes , need to dig a battery out for it !

Happy now ? 🤣 Weighs a bloody ton !

Now that is a thing of beauty !

So, come on then, who got new pews or pew related kit for Christmas ? I got a WE M4 GBBR and loads of bits towards a long L119 A2 build from my lovely wife 😀

I've had a few bits from HAO recently too. No issues and speedy arrival

ups actually managed to deliver something ? Holy shit, it's a Christmas miracle !

Didn't need to, it's exactly the same as my XR5 🤣

This is the absolute truth, unfortunatly when you get players who are and who are packing guns with insane ROF the day tends to down the toilet pretty rapidly. Not a fan of HPA personally but the high ROF issue doesn't just apply to them , plenty of aegs with stupidly high ROF too and all too often you get a knob using one .

Anything over say 30 rps could be limited to real cap mags only , that would encourage more use of semi and just short bursts of auto. Mag changes would slow things down if anyone wants to go full wanker mode.

GBBRs demand a certain style of play. Much more measured, much more precise, none of this spray and pray rubbish. Except for 2 indevidual games I've only used GBBRs this year and have never been out gunned . Range is easily as good as an aeg. With my L119 I run 5 mags and a speed loader , I get 2 and a bit BBloads to a gas fill so I've got about 1 hi cap's worth of ammo. You have to plan your shots but it's so much more satisfying. I also have the Umarex GBB MP7 as does a mate and it's perfectly capable of being used as a primary at our local woodland site . 5 Mags between us so we just use each others mags to top up. 40 rounds is heaven after the 30 round Stanags !

Well to be fair, non of the young ladies was on screen at the time otherwise he could have a bloody great sign saying 'airsoft toy' and I'd have missed it 🤣

Isn't the £135 the figure over which you become responsible for paying VAT and customs rather than the retailer having to collect UK VAT ?

Started watching season 3 of Titans on Disney last night, the Red Skill apperas to be rocking an XR5 in one episode 😁

Couple of better pictures, Now if someone would just release an steel valve knocker with the 'spring' bit as part of the single piece we would all feel safer using the damn things !

From memory about £60 . Jim at LC's engineering does an awesome job (mine was the first Hi Power he did) he does have a long waiting list though. I've just booked another slot with him for some L119 trades and I recon it'll about 6 months wait.

Damn you ! I appear to have accidentaly ordered a Spectre 🤣

I've also used the Halfords range on several guns and so far it's wearing very well. As above , use the matt clear for extra protection . The matt clear is more of a satin in my opinion but it matches the finish of most RIFs well.

some comparison photos would be helpfull so we can see what the actual differences are.

That would indeed suit it, but I've got the ACOG spare and I know it stands up to GBBR use without any issues.

I'll probably run it like this next game. The full rail lets me get the ACOG far enough forward that I dont feel its going to smack me in the face with recoil The gun is one I own jointly with a mate , we do have a SUSAT for it but TBH I prefer an ACOG. Not a fan of vert grips although I do have one with the integral bipod, but a torch is a bit of fun !

AUGs are great . love mine even if it's an aeg and I've only run gas this year 🤣

I was going to mention the 1.3j limit for guns firing semi again, but going to go and bang my head against a brick wall instead 🤣

Nice, do love an AK !

Loads will tell you to get a TM MWS, but I will say that my WE based L119 and WE L85 are both excellent performers , the 119 has been used at every game day I've played this year running on red gas and even last time out the gun held up to the cold better than I did. WE G36 is a good platform I just dont seem to take mine out very often.
