Cheers chaps, appreciated. This thread is one of the best on the site.

I'm currently playing up different options when it comes to the next pew, but I keep coming back to either an NGRS or an MWS. The MWS keeps winning the argument in my head. Two questions though, and I appreciate one is harder than the other. - With TM having recently done an URGI NGRS, do we think they'll do an URGI GBBR? How long was there between the NGRS MK18 and the MK18 GBBR? I appreciate I may be better off trying to read tea leaves to try and guess what's next from TM. - What's the best starting point for a 10.3" (ish) URGI build if I just wanted to work towards that from the existing platforms?

Not even a year into this sport, and I’m constantly looking at other pews pews. All is fair in love and bb war. I went for the Raider 2.0 in the first instance because M-Lok is sexy, so I keep looking at the newer Krytac’s and their M-Lok rails...yum. There’s a lot of variety in this thread, so I didn’t want to drag it down with “just another” M4! I think I’ve put more into the accessories than I did the stock gun.

I know an M4 is an M4 is an M4, but below is my Raider 2.0. I’ve very much enjoyed flicking through this thread looking at all the pretty pew pews, so thought I’d share mine! Not pictured is my TM Hi-Capa ‘coz you all know what they look like.

TM Hi-Capa 5.1, another mag, a holster and some pistol mag pouches. My first sidearm. Have had my eye on one for ages...but after a lad on Saturday let me fire his mid-game, the timescale got moved forward a bit haha. Any advice on best gas to use? Haven’t owned a GBB before.

I ordered a G&G Raider 2.0 from them on Tuesday. AEG arrives Thursday...but it’s two-tone! Doh! I ring them up, ask if there’s any issues with my defence or what not, but the guy confirms it’s a genuine mistake. I send them a photo of the invoice so they can look at who checked off the order, and arrange a collection for Friday. Once the courier arrives and collects the two-tone, I send them a photo of the tracking label and receipt, and they have just sent me out the correctly colored AEG next day Saturday delivery at no extra cost. The gun is now sat in front of me! Great communication and response from them, and they’ve been really good to deal with. Top marks from me in this instance. Mistakes happen, but it’s always how companies respond that counts IMO.

Busy 24 hours. G&G Raider 2.0 (my first AEG/RIF) PTS EPM Mid Cap PTS EPF Grip UTG 4.2” Red Dot Sight Protector Deans Connectors Feel like a kid at Christmas.

IMAX B6 V2 Turnigy 7.4 Lipo (Deans) Fireproof Bag Laptop style cable for charger. Three more weeks and one more game until I’m on UKARA, so I’m spreading the cost out a bit.

Is there a mobile friendly gun creator/builder out there? Tried using Puffin for Flash support on iOS but it’s tedious/unusable (Pimp My Gun, which hadn’t been updated since 2011 I think?)

It was your video and my extensive reading round here that lead me to the decision.

Just ordered a Bulle MLE chest rig. My first bit of tactical gear.

Yeah there hasn’t been a question I’ve had I’ve not been able to find an answer to, especially since browsing here. YouTube has been great too. The biggest challenge I’m facing is reigning in my own impatience and magpie-like love of shiny things. I think I’ve got an entire kit list sorted out in my head, but I’m not going to get carried away. Get on UKARA, get my first RIF, then go from there. No point thinking about accessories, chest plates etc until I’ve developed a “style”, preferences and how I want to use my AEG lmao.

Cheers guys. I thought as much, but it’s very easy to get carried away and lose sight of the fact that I’m just starting out. I’m this instance though, it seems a no-brainer.

Alright lads, I’m after a bit advice. It’s a pretty trivial question so didn’t want to waste a new thread on it. Is going for Li-Po straight out the gate a bad idea? Once I get on the UKARA database, I’ll hopefully be getting my first AEG/RIF, and it seems 7.4 Li-Po are a far better choice than 8.6’s? I’ve read up balance chargers, storage, fire-proof charging bags, discharge alarms etc etc etc, but is there any reason you WOULDN’T recommend them for a newbie? The AEG I want comes fitted with Tamiya connectors, but swapping to Deans seems a pretty easy job.
