Ran it today. Had the CO2 block setup in a large mag pouch. Worked fine , but reminded me of why I don't want to go hpa, having the line between me and the gun was a total fag. We definitly need to find some thread adapters to allow the use of 33g capsules. Also suffered the line failure though, well nearly, noticed the line was balooned at the point it goes into the block. Spotted it as I went to diconect after the last game, so although it didnt go pop it certainly would have done if I'd kept going. Gun ran flawlessly though, lots of range as usual. The speed loader adapter is great, was able to reload during games which was handy.

I'd certainly be interested in thread adapters to use the smaller capsules. I'm running mine tomorrow, and I 'might' just put the CO2 block into a Minimi mag pouch , it fits with the two 88's, just uncomfortably close to hpa for my liking ! Ability to get it into the box mag without extensions or tape would be good. Interestingly, I had an invoice arrive from ups today for the customs charges on the CO2 box mag. Since I've had the mag for a couple of months I'm tempted to tell them to do one , didn't request it at the time when sodding about with the delivery ? tuff !

Solid stock ? you devient ! 😆

My Umarex / WE GBBR. Shoots very well, has a loud crack and a decent recoil , capable of massivly over hopping .30's on the stock setup.. As with the rest of my WE GBBRs I've not had a single issue with it.

Got one of the Jaeger precision speed loader adapters, very handy bit of kit. I can now load my mags with a 'normal' loader. Which means I can reload during a game.

Ordered a part for the GBB M249 from them a couple of weeks ago. It arrived in about 10 days with no issues.

L119 A1 and A2 GBBRs

My My recent WE Apache purchase. I'll post some shots of my aeg ones when I get chance.

Fun day today . Horrid weather forcast on top of a week of insesant rain kept the numbers down to twenty something. But I like low numbers days 'cos the play is way more tactical . Good mix of games which were hard fought by both teams. I think the Blue team wone more than us in the end , but it was all fun . No agro or idiots, just fair and sensible play bt all. Went all gas as usual , the L119 A1 continues to be my main go to gun, but the new Apache MP5 was great . First shot in game got a kill 😂 Had feeding issues with the drum mag unfortunatly , but I've had a quick look and it's an easy fix. The 45 round mags worked flawlesly . Just took the 2 today , gave the M249 a day off. It was very muddy and slippery in the woods though, so no running !

The drum mag I ordered from KY for the new WE MP5 arrived today, that's less than a week. Suffice it to say it's packed for tomorrows game !

Last game day , some one was talking about an issue with semi auto on his gun, I went 'haha he said semi !' chap next to me nearly choked on his tea 🤣

If you take the slide off and then turn it upside down, try moving the fire selector and see if you can see (I think) triger reset part move. It should move from hard up against the edge of the slide towards the centre of the slide as you operate the selector.

Added a small red dot to the GBB SD . Put a few mags through it yesterday and it shoots very nicely. Only did a rough hop set , but there is plenty of adjustment left so I can obviously go heavier than the .30's I run in all my GBB kit. Chronod it , and it was a tad 'warm' that was outside with a mag that had been used once and refilled so the mag was cold and with red gas. Fitted a spare restrictor disk that was in the draw and it was then at .90 j in a cold garage on green gas. So should be nicely skirishable at that. A warm mag or red gas will pop it just over the 1.0j mark . It's basically doing the same figures as my MP7 , so happy with that. I plan to look at fitting a tracer unit into the front of the silencer, but will need to work out what length inner barrel I'll need as the existing one runs full length. That will be a project for over the winter, I'll run it as is for now. Oh and ordered an AW drum mag for it from KY , will report on what that is like once it turnes up.

That's a strange one ! I've got some spare line if mine decides to do the same. what did you do with the box mag to hold the 88g bulbs ? I do like it on CO2 , but I'm definitly going through more ammo Lol, I must get another pack of BB mags when I find them in stock. The beast continues to impress , its so much fun to use in a game, and the noise and range are great for suppression.

If you are starting with a 'working' lower in the colour you want then it is just the hammer assembly you need to swap. Obviously if you start with a bare frame (as I've done once or twice) you have to swap everything over .

Quick follow up on CO2 bulb sizes. 33g ones are no good as the threads are a smaller diameter . So looks like it's the 88g ones or the 67g or whatever it is.

The WE MP5 SD turned up today. Ordered from Bespoke on Tuesday night so pleased with that. Feels very nice, only tried it in the garge , but seems to shoot well and 3 round burst id fun.

Other half suggested we both treat ourselves , I appear to have ordered a WE Apache MP5 almost before she finished saying it 😁

Ran mine again today, on CO2. First time with the NPAS in. I can wind that out a bit , was comfortably inside site limits. Also needed to adjust the hop a bit as it was overhopping the .30's I use in it. That could be the rubber bedded in now causing that I guess. I did drop it though, in the safe zone . 2 of us stood up at the same time back to back so didnt see each other and colided. One of those things. It did split the box mag though and broke the front sighte when it hit the ground. Box mag might glue, but I've got others. Ive ordered the DNA steel replacement front sight for it . One of those things and easily sorted. Performed amazingly as ever, rate of fire and range always surprise me every time I game it.

And checked which way the thread is , CW or CCW . We've all tightened instead of loosened !

Wait, we're supposed to take playing dress up and running around with toy guns seriously ? 😆

Played at Survival yesterday. Combination of weather and recent road closures which had only just been re opened kept numbers down . About 28 of us, but what a great day ! . Now i Iove low number days 'cos it's way more tactical , add in a decent number of first timers and no snipers and it was bloody great. The rental guys all got stuck in and played well. Proper hit calling all round and fair play from everyone. We wone the first 3 games, and although we did probably work better as a team, the other team never gave up , none of that 'we're going to lose so meh' attitde, they kept coming right till game over. Pacey games using only part of the field each time , teritory game, raise / lower the flag in the village and get the barrel from the centre start point as close to the other teams HQ as poss. That one involved running into a hail of BBs ! Game 4 was interesting . I was made team leader (probably based on age 😂) and got to pick 4 other guys. We then had to rescue a casualty ( manakin on a stretcher) from the medic station and get him back to our start point. Other team of everyone else were already spread out covering th earea when we started. We seriously didn't think we'd do it, the casualty was so well covered, but a concerted push just before the end got him out with 2 of our guys running him back up the hill to base . At that stage i was completely soaked as it had rained pretty steadily most of the day and various body parts were complaining, so I called it a day. Ran my L119 A2 and G3 GBBR's , they both got stashed in the airing cupboard over night to dry them off before a strip and clean today.

It's quite simple GBBR's are just so much better 😁🤣

Most of my GBBRs are WE and I cant fault them, although I haven't tried their AK . A mate has the GHK one and seems to have gotten lucky with it. He hasn't had any issues with it yet that I'm aware of.

They will almost certainly have to be KWA GBBR mag cross compatability is very limited.
