We need closure on this blossoming bromance!

Personally, I love my GBBRs, but the way I play I don't shoot that much (coming from that sniper role I'm used to not shooting much). I've converted one of my friends to GBBRs, but he's like me and doesn't run into ammo problems. It's very dependent on what you want to get out of the game. Mid-fight reloads, pistol transitions and ammo tracking are something I enjoy and I'll often be switching between my mags to make sure the freshest is available at all times, adding a fun element to the game for me, but it's very much not for everyone. Also, I love how it feels to shoot, as you get more of a kick than with a NGRS, and knew that I was going to convert to GBBRs as soon as I fired off my first mag from my AKM on the range.
 
However, if you want to play airsoft with the focus on shooting at other players and getting kills and doing objectives and winning games, GBBRs are not the way to go. For the price of a MWS plus mags, you could get a pretty nice NGRS build with all the bells and whistles and a rig full of EPM mid caps and probably still have change left over.

Goes back to the "why everyone suggests AEGs to new players" argument.
 
GBBs aren't for everyone, they require a very particular playstyle that, in some instances, can be hard to embrace. Plus parts and magazines are stupid expensive compared to a €7 midcap.

Useless Parcel Service

20+ yrs playing binned the fuses out of pretty much every gun I’ve ever had(primarily for the exact same reason you want too) never had a problem with any of them . I’m a great believer in the train of thought that 95% of all faults that occur with airsoft kit wether AEG’s gas pistols or what ever is always down to user error and NOT the kit failing in its purpose . There not as strong as real guns so if you abuse them in any way shape or form it’s gonna end in tears . Savy ? 😉

@Lozartme thinks (being the inherently suspicious fecker I am)They would do except they don’t have a UKARA No or are old enough to buy from said shop ? 🤔

An awful lot of sites are now changing over , trying to get a positive from a negative it will encourage better trigger control from some players ? 

It turned up today, was an ex rental aks74u
 
Boneyard advert said it was dead. plugged a battery in and it fired, pretty pathetic 134fps though
 
opened it up, cleaned out all the dust and shite.
 
Zero compression so replaced those parts and the trigger trolley as it was worn to hell, changed the hop rubber and nub
 
Now firing at 345 with a .20
 
only problem now is that it's missing the charging handle and spring. can't find one anywhere :(

But at least Hermes will deliver it...ok, it maybe thrown over the back garden fence or placed inside a stinky bin...or delivered to house and signed for by "a cat"...but UPS will just flat up lose it. 

Hermes isn’t going to like all you guys claiming UPS is the worst courier service , they worked hard for that (only thing they’ve ever worked at mind !) themselves !

ups are without doubt the worst delivery company out there. Staggers me that they actually stay in business tbh

Yup looks like that meatloaf reached and passed its best before date ? RIP big man .

Happy New Year !

I am perfectly well aware that you need power to humanley dispose of vermin thank you. And I have never said anything about having a RIF in public, do that get shot as far as I'm concerned. The point that I am making and that you are choosing to ignore is that the information you keep spouting about POWER LIMITS in the UK is WRONG . Did you bother to go look at the link ? also take a look at this about Scotish law. About half way down the page it states that airsoft guns are generally not covered by scotish licencing laws, it also states the damn power limits including semi auto. Airgun licensing in Scotland - The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (basc.org.uk)
You seem to be unable to accept that you are wrong on this point.  

I think we all agree that it's important to work within the law with our hobby, but maybe geta the facts correct first eh ?
 

The OP being in NI does indeed limit him to a 1j max regardless so that's an absolute. Mr airsniper however keeps spouting the same nonsense about a 1.3j limit in the UK for semi ,Dude that is wrong 1.3 j is the limit for full auto , semi can only fire 1 shot per trigger pull so is covered by the 2.5j absolute limit. Go re read the apropriate section and you will see that you are wrong. This is what alows DMR's in the uk to run higher energy than the AR platforms most are based on because they are locked to semi only. 
The facts are indeed the facts and you are wrong and keep quoting the same incorrect information.
You do know the difference between Semi auto and Full auto right ?

Oh god he's at it again ! THE 1.3j APPLIES TO GUNS CAPABLE OF FULL AUTO. 2.5j IS ANY GUN CAPABLE OF ONLY ONE SHOT PER TRIGGER PULL , THAT INCLUDES SEMI AUTO ONLY A/Rs REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY ARE POWERED FFS !!!!! AEG GAS SPRING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I'm off to ram bamboo under my nails , more productive and less painfull than trying to get this across to a certain person.
 

@AirSniper, you are still making strawman arguments and creating scenarios that are not relevant to the OP's situation.

Most of us here fully understand that the VCRA is not the sole Act covering what we do with our toy guns.

You do seem to be struggling; lay off whatever you are using and/or get some professional help.

@AirSniper, you seem to be arguing against things that nobody is saying.  Are you ok?

Take a look at 57A Dude, 
After that I give up !

The OP is in NI, where there is a blanket 1J limit, regardless of the type or style of weapon.
