Yeah. For low budget stuff, they might use airsoft exclusively but proper films will generally use a mix of dummy, airsoft and blank firers.

Oh dear. That's a good way to make your action scenes look like utter shit.

Tags don't work in these sadly OOTB due to not enough travel of the firing pin.

Some sites do gas & spring only or pistol & shotgun only (probably not AA12 though ha) days but I don't think there are any that do it routinely.

Fully agree with TheFull9. I've been into airsoft for over 20 years. I've had a bunch of PCs and chest rigs over the years. I'll often run a PC but it will be just mags, bombs and comms.

The seller's name must be Mr Schrödinger ?

True. I was thinking more like see if there are any old classified listings long since sold with pics taking up valuable space. Or maybe go back to posts and delete images and replace with compressed versions.

Go to your attachments on your profile and see if there's any old images you can delete to free up some space.

Turns out it is indeed a CO2 powered, plastic slided KSC MK23 and it looks to be a big pile of meh which is a shame.

What brand? Ace 1 Arms?

Ha. Still good fun though. Yeah. I did wonder if the start slipping was engineered as you say, considering I couldn't really see any explanation for it.

I was at Gunman Tuddenham on Sat for the night game. All in all, a good evening. Start time keeps on slipping later and later from the aimed 7pm which is bit annoying but hey. Lots of friendly fire but typical of a night game. I just wish people would use the call and response properly. Yes, if you don't reply, I will assume you are NATO scum and shoot you. Sneaking through the village and trenches is a hell of a lot of fun.

I've had good results leaving painted plastic parts in a Dettol bath for 24/48 hours.

Yeah. I'm not sure if there is something lost in translation here. An ABS slide and CO2? That can't end well.

It's not a RIF so you'll be fine.

Thanks guys. @Rogerborg. If you want it for £50 posted. Fire me over a PM. I did try and message you but it says you can't receive PMs.

I bought this Galaxy MP5K new quite a few years ago with the intention of building it into a little lightweight, loaner gun but never got around to it and now it's surplus to requirements. Good points - Sat in it's box. Never shot. - Boxed with hi cap mag, manual, shitty charger and battery (I can dispose of if not wanted. Can I even send the battery in the post?). Will include the cleaning rod if I can find it. - Can include a folding stock but not compatible with the current end plate. Could be modified I think or just the right plate fitted on. Bad points - Time has taken it's toll on the pot metal. Heavy tarnishing to the front sight block. Mag catch paddle weakened so that really needs replacing but the push button mag release works fine. The head of one of the body pins sheared off today when I pushed it in. Not going to go anywhere but still. - The receiver end plate is split in two. Partially caused by over time it slightly warping and also from me trying to screw it onto the folding stock. When I tightened it down, it became apparent it was warped and the stock face was flat. If you're wondering why I was trying to attach it to the stock, the moron shop I bought the stock from had the wrong photos of it in the listing so I thought it would be compatible. It turned out it was a different spec. I thought I would be smart and just swap the plates. No such luck. It can be used with half the end plate on. It is secure with one pin. - There is a small crack to the back of the plastic of the receiver near the lower receiver pin hole but not actually compromising the hole. So yeah, it really needs a new mag release paddle and receiver end plate. Which can be bought for £20 + postage. What should I be looking at for a price? £60 posted with the stock? @RogerborgI know you're a fan of these.

Make sure you get one with the updated trigger. It makes a massive difference I'm told. Around a 6lb repeatable break. Then run it on CO2 mags and you should be good.

Where did you spot that? Very good price.

I'm not really into woodland sites but I did a private training thing there a while back and it seemed a decent site for skirmishing.

I haven't seen much of interest yet but a Stechkin APS with stock from VFC. GBB assumed.

Something to consider is some sites have a blanket ban on CO2.

Yup. Airsoft Dynamics exited the scene rather badly. Still, I wasted lots of time looking at their site during lunch on my school's computers. Back when you could look at any gun stuff on the school network without it being blocked. I remember seeing the photos to pre order the TM G36C and thinking it looked impossibly cool.

Maybe I've been lucky but I've been into airsoft since around 2001 and just started doing milsims in 2021/2022 but I've found everyone to be pretty chill for the most part. I was put off milsims for quite a while as it seemed a little...try hard I guess but they're a lot of fun. Maybe it's because I always play opfor (opfor, best for), but everyone seems really nice and happy to chat shit about gear or whatever. At the end of the day, we're adults playing with toys in the woods. If you take it too seriously, you're doing it wrong. Take note TF. If we're 10 mins into a weekend and someone from opfor walks up to you with no gun or whatever, hold off on the "STAY BACK" BS. Be cool FFS.
