  1. I find you can generally find parts by searching "WA M4 GBB parts". You'll most likely have to order from HK but parts are still out there.
  2. I'm interested on your thoughts on the 1911. Do you think that's gopping too?
  3. I think their use with the SAS, CRW etc. Some iconic pics from the Iranian Embassy. When it came out, the increased mag capacity over the other 9mms made it stand out. Lastly, it looks damn cool imo. Just a classic JM Browning gun.
  4. A nice, rational response. Covering everything I was too lazy to type. Good job.
  5. Sure, we had the occasional smoke alarm check but there was not a single time where anyone went through my belongings, opened wardrobes etc.
  6. WTF? Random room inspections? Having a talk with people if they visit airsoft websites on the WiFi? Where is this uni? Nazi Germany? I couldn't imagine someone coming into my accommodation and rummaging through my belongings. Absolutely mad. I guess if you're unfortunate enough to live somewhere like that, just keep your RIFs in a box labeled "sex toys"
  7. It's unlikely that any university will allow Airsoft guns to be kept in halls of residence. Imo, just do it anyway. They're not to know if you keep it to yourself. Just keep them out of sight in generic boxes under your bed, in your wardrobe etc. When you move out into a house share, you can be a bit more open as hopefully you'll be with friends and not complete strangers that you'll be stuck with in halls for the first year.
  8. Toxicant's XM7 has an ETA of June but it's slipped before.
  9. They've been extremely dodgy in the past https://airsoft-forums.uk/topic/51450-sixmmcom-review/
  10. Beneficial to everyone I think. The number of times you step into the game zone and someone turns to you and asks, "what are we doing?" or "where are we going?" Which was literally just explained to everyone 60 seconds ago.
  11. Just have him read the safety brief off some paper/device...Hardly a deal breaker. I don't see it being a problem really. Just brush up on your infantry field hand signals and go through them with him. Make up some extra airsoft specific ones for ceasefire, fire (burning) etc. Easy.
  12. Yeah. Can't say I'm a massive fan of painted guns but tan painted MP5s are quite a vibe imo. As Lozart says, I feel it would be a total pain getting it all off. I know it would bother me if it remained in all little nooks if you were going for total removal.
  13. Honestly, return it if you've bought from a retailer.
  14. They're definitely not OG WA. They could be Iron Airsoft. They're the only WA spec mags that came with a polymer Pmag shell iirc.
  15. It seems forever ago that Hephaestus teased a GBB PP-19 Vityaz with no further evidence it would actually get released. Well has decided to pick up an alternative Russian SMG and is releasing a PPK-20 in AEG and GBBR which is pretty cool. I'm not too sure how Well will be able to pull off a GBB like this but maybe their Well "Pro" line is up to it. - ambi safety - 40 rd mags - claims to be MWS gas system Also some more mad minguns including a Nemesis style one, AK-12 AEG https://youtu.be/-phQTg5f7QA?si=sAxqKhEJe32KLos7
  16. I couldn't see any Just Cos on Companies House... Surely they should be registered? Seems a bit suspect. Complete lack of info on their site.
  17. I've used a Madbull adapter for Rothenburger bottles. I didn't even know you could get the adapters in 7/16.
  18. I did a couple of weekday night games last week. Thursday evening at South Coast CQB and then Friday evening at Ironsight. First time back at SCCQB for a couple of years. Cool site for sure. A shame about a few people kicking off with accusations of overshooting. It seemed that some people hadn't fully grasped that at a night game, it is more important than skirmishing in daylight that you make clear you've been hit with a loud "hit" and putting your arm up. I saw multiple instances of people doing neither and then having a little hissy fit. I don't know about everyone else, but I shoot at someone until they make it clear they're hit... Also, shout out to the absolute madlad (and lady) rentals on our team that decided their first airsoft experience would be a night game. Legends. They seemed to have fun and enjoy the evening. Ironsight. Again, a cool site. The rain just about held off until right at the end which was nice. Excellent hit taking and all round play. I got some very satisfying kills. I'm pretty sure I shot someone in the face on the top level of the bus so sorry if that was you and you're reading this ha.
  19. lol. It's been a while since we had one of these threads.
  20. This advert is COMPLETED!

    New and never used. This is from the recent Forgotten Weapons replica group order of the famous magazine vest from the film Heat. Basically, it seems there were some misunderstandings/mix ups with the factory in China in terms of sizing from what the group was expecting and promised. In addition to general quality issues. This is the revised "medium/large" (the smallest size that was available) It is adjustable on the shoulder for length and at the back with elastic. See photos for dimensions. At it's shortest adjustment it's good for me at five foot 10 but probably also good for someone a bit shorter. With ample adjustment for someone taller. The main issue though is general meh quality. The elastic magazine retainers aren't great and will probably require modifications which I think should be fairly straightforward or complete removal and replacement with better quality and placed elastic. This is especially notable on the shoulder magazine elastic. Don't even think about trying to use GBBR mags in it's current state… So yeah, it has it's issues but potentially OK as a base to modify if you actually want to use it (please don't rob any banks with it though) Also, mag obviously not included. £40 posted.

      Well yes, so did I but there's this thing called the VCRA now...

      In subsection (7) “modern firearm” means any firearm other than one the appearance of which would tend to identify it as having a design and mechanism of a sort first dating from before the year 1870.

       

      https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/38/section/38

       

      It's a rather peculiar date, and may actually be intended to cover cartridge revolvers - the Colt Single Action Army was developed around 1869 and trialled in 1872. So that cap gun might very well be a "modern firearm" by that definition.

       

      The real answer is that they're "getting away with it" because nobody really cares.  We know that there are airsoft sellers flogging unambiguous RIFs without real defences, and what would the defence be for this paintball "marker"?

      Or for that matter, this gel "blaster"?

      You might argue that those aren't non-firearm airsoft RIFs, but instead some super-secret sub-category of airgun firearm that isn't really an airgun firearm, nor a RIF.  I've seen claims that paintballs guns aren't considered as airgun firearms because the ammunition is (or rather can be) frangible, but I can't recall being pointed at any specific legislation or case law.

      It's all a bit silly really isn't it, is my main point I guess.  Newcomers to airsoft pissing about with two tones and then we get stuff like this.

  21. I do frequently run around the woods with several thousand £ worth of gear. Protectors are disposable. I'd rather bin 8 uncoated protectors than 1 £250 protector...
  22. What on Earth are you doing with your thermal if it has the opportunity to get so fucked up lol
