I run 1 + 4 in rig and rarely run out. I keep loose BBS in my trouser pocket and top up mags as I go along, slotting them in 1 at a time with fingertips.
The PDW stock was brilliant, all metal and very solid. Spring and buffer were much smaller than standard. Recoil felt more snappy. No feeding issues and bolt always locked back. I sort of want to do the same thing again but can’t find the stock for sale anywhere now
600mAh for a ‘mini’ or ‘stick’ battery, 1300-1700mAH for a ‘large’ one.
I remember coming home on leave in 2001 and blowing £450 on a Classic Army MP5 from Wolf Armouries.
Anyone here play at Airsoft Adventures at Greenham Common. Still my favourite Airsoft site to date.
Upgrades seemed to be a stronger spring, metal bushings and a higher voltage battery. Didn’t always last that long.
BB weights were .2 or .25 if you were feeling posh.
Metal bodies were well over £100 for a M4, the main main aftermarket parts producer was Systema.
Started out in 1996 at Rebel Troop / Firefight in Reading. Gun choice was pretty much TM or TM. Don’t ever remember seeing a chrono in those days. FPS limits seemed to be whatever you could get the gearbox to do before it shit itself
Anything 14mm CCW will work, just depends what rail you are running - if it is longer than the barrel then you will have to get a fairly skinny silencer to fit inside it
MWS in a box. Still need to add a Vortex Sparc AR and a tracer unit (aftershave used to judge size!). Middle layer of foam will hold 4 mags, and bottom layer a pistol and tool kit.
