  1. I'm afraid I don't have good answer to that. I've bought membership in March literally couple of days before lockdowns and courtesy of site owner he didn't start my membership until July when they could reopen, therefore I'm not exactly aware how long does it normally take.
  2. When my site registered me I've received email to address I've used for my membership registration from [email protected], it looks like this:
  3. Yea if you hit 300-ish fps (mine from LandWarrior goes 310) it double cycles on semi every few shots. I have literally same issue with my ICS guns that were downgraded to UK market tad bit too much. I run mine at 7.4v for now since I have more of these that fit the damn thing to begin with but after I get apropriate spring to get it to 345-350 range I would probably swap to 11.1v and see how it goes. For now it sometimes can lock up on semi if you spam the trigger - needs to swap into full auto, fire a burst and can go back to semi. With cutoff on empty I never know whether it locked up or just need to reload since mags are quite tight (if you load them full the bendy joint follower can get stuck and you need to disassemble the whole magazine... I personally run them at 90rds)
  4. So I've said a week ago that I can't buy anything anymore this month... well, I was wrong 😅 Classifieds and Prefired: ASG Dan Wesson 715 4'' (the one with RIS rail), 26 low power shells and leather belt with bullet loops ASG Scorpion EVO 3 2018 with 11.1v battery, 3 smoked mid caps, 1 black mid cap and 1 high cap, CNC trigger and 2020 mosfet upgrades, all packaged in dedicated soft-shell carrying EVO case Warfet with programming card wired in Warfet cut out from other gun as well as Viper pistol mag insert and pistol holster insert sleeves Cool! I'm gonna get similar setup but for Glock to run with AAP-01, assuming they will be in stock few months down the line... because they more often aren't
  5. It has it's own mags - if you have loose pouch with flaps for m4/ak you can easily hold two inside, if it's tight mag pouch then I guess you're out of luck... that being said I hold my MP7 mags in M4 sleeves no problem - it's only a problem when mag is larger than the pouch Btw. mine arrived just now - the only thing different from stock is CNC trigger, otherwise stock performance on 11.1v Brrrrt - YouTube If you like MP5 new tacticool series from CYMA are GREAT straight out of the box.

  6. Funny that you mention that, this just arrived Brrrrt - YouTube
  7. If you're willing to dabble in 2nd hand market, you can fish out ICS MARS series M4s with SSS (or S3) mosfet in that price range. From personal experience they're quite good and really well built, they come with microswitch trigger and mosfet has the essential functions (auto to burst, pre-cocking, spring release on safe, self diagnostics and lipo protection cutoff, they all come with EBB which thankfully can be disabled. They work great out of the box, have real quick change spring system (due to split gearbox all you have to do is to pop the pin, open upper receiver, take out spring and put different one back in, slam upper back and put the pin back - there, you're done in 20 seconds) and have superb externals. Btw. I'm not exaggerating with those 20s spring change: World record spring changing 😉 Ics Cxp Mars Komodo - YouTube
  8. I will just throw things that I've seen on Classifieds that IMHO are good purchase - full disclaimer, I do not know any of these people. Brand new doesn't necessarily mean trouble free. Just remember to ALWAYS do transactions through PayPal and paying for product or service (NOT FAMILY AND FRIENDS), if someone wants a bank transfer - just avoid it. At 250gbp, 2018 version ASG CZ Scorpion EVO3 allegedly used only 2 times, with 2 batteries, extra mags and accesories is in my opinion a steal - brand new gun with 1 mag and no extras (which are 20gbp each give or take) sells for 319gbp (and you need UKARA). 2020 version to my knowledge has just updated electronics (which can be purchased separately as an upgrade, would you so desire). EVO is considered one of best AEGs out of the box and is often appearing in recommendations for new and veteran players alike - it's a proven construction with long track record of reliability. It's quirk is a system implemented, that some either love or hate, that stops fire on empty mag and require pressing bolt catch release after loading new mag in to be able to shoot again. Great for that realism factor, bad for fast reloads if you're not used to it... also most seasoned airsoft players immediately assume their gun just broke when it stops firing ASG CZ Scorpion EVO 3 A1 - Electric Rifles - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk) It's great at a distance, can fold stock to be even more compact for tight CQB action, it's lightweight due to it's polymer construction while not being fantasy gun (like G&G ARP9), it's one of the few airsoft replicas created in collaboration with manufacturer of the real firearm. As a matter of fact I have my very own 2nd hand EVO arriving today ------ If you're into tacticool M4s, this is also a great RIF: HERA ARMS CQR - Prefired Comes with built in SSS mosfet that brings pre-cocking for that crisp semi-auto trigger response, spring release on switching fire selector to "safe" and gearbox diagnostics (so when gun shits the bed mid game you can have rough idea of what's the issue), can switch full auto to 3rd burst, has ICS signature split gearbox for easier maintenance and quick change spring - comes with HERA ARMS licensed furniture which is an acquired taste.

  9. If you buy second-hand you don't really NEED UKARA - needless to say over the last 30 purchases via airsoft forums and prefired I've been asked for UKARA only twice... people generally don't care from what I've noticed. L85 kinda stinks (at least AEGs, gas one is pretty nice)... for some reason most AEG bullpups do. I only pulled the trigger on battered down ARES SOC-AR and it's a weighty chonker with some questionable ergonomics unless you're a leftie but it shoots like a dream and has crisp electronic trigger - I've heard good reviews of KelTec RDB too and intend of eventually getting one myself after I knock few more things out of my wishlist. Don't get too caught up with the platform - for all intents and purposes this is just cosplay, except for big tiddy anime girls there are big children with toy guns - in vast majority of circumstances your pistol will perform just as good as your sniper I would say get something that works out of the box with minimal to zero input required, maybe with some bells and whistles. There will be time and place to get into teching but if it's going to be your first and only gun for a while you need a workhorse Volkswagen not Alfa Romeo that will spend most of the time at mechanics. I couldn't talk my friend I've introduced to airsoft out of FAMAS F1 and it spends more time at tech than in the actual game. If you're after M4 platform ICS MARS series with SSS (or S3) mosfet is an absolute dream.
  10. Is that L85A2 love for the gun design, British patriotism or just like bullpups? Also what's your budget?
  11. Was on my first game since last year... holy shit I'm unfit as fuck from 6 months of being couch potato 😂

     

    Also Saturday game was pretty hardcore, my right arm alone looks like I stuffed it into angry hornet's nest...

      I thought I'd got back in shape through cycling, but no, it's an entirely different set of muscles. And joints too, apparently.

      Haha, yea that awkward moment when you rediscover muscles of which existence you werent previously aware... to be fair though for me aside from knees and hips (which I guess this is how I am at this point in life) got only massive muscleache in tighs. Needless to say right now I'm not on very good terms with stairs... or small inclines 🤣

      I am dreading this coming Sunday - I will either die out on the field (with my boots on of course) whilst playing or wish I had indeed died come Monday morning !! 🥴

  12. Does anyone know of and can recommend indoor arena in Shropshire? (+- 30miles out of Shrewsbury at most, otherwise I will never make it in time...)

    My CQB arena got fucked over by constant lockdowns, they've opened barely before corona kicked off. I'm sad now :( 

  13. Quick update - they've made decision to close down Killhouse: last game will be at the end of June. Site originally opened in February just before corona kicked off and struggled due to constant lockdowns, restrictions and since business didn't exist for X months before lockdowns, they couldn't get govt help (at least that's my understanding, since my friend's business suffered for similar reasons). It's a real shame because that's the only site I could attend really due to work and distance so I guess I'm putting airsoft on indefinite hiatus
  14. Why such awesome offers show up ONLY after I go on a shopping spree and am broke?
  15. In that case I would grab ALL KWA Kris Vectors off the market, sounds like a great investment - they just keep going up in price
  16. All I can see here is that CYMA rules the world!
  17. I don't have even an inch of empty space to take photos right now so the list will have to do: From Dave's Custom Airsoft Golden Eagle M8875 Version.2 Gas Powered Shotgun (Black) M870 From Land Warrior Airsoft Umarex Elite Force H8R Gen2 6mm Airsoft CO2 Revolver - White Limited Edition Laylax Container Gun Case - Grey / Navy 3x Umarex Spare Magazine for Elite Force H8R 6mm Airsoft CO2 Revolver - Twin Pack From fellow airsofters at Prefired.co.uk Umarex Heckler & Koch MP7A1 Gen2 AEG + 5 extra mags + Feyachi RS-30 Reflex Sight (generic red dot with 4 reticle choice) + 2x VP Racing Battery 7.4v 1300mAh 25C LiPo Stick Battery - Tamiya 4x BOLT AK 200 Round Magazine - fun fact: despite looking exactly the same as the mag supplied with BOLT AKS-74UN these are a sliver too thick on the lip to go into the magwell... needed to shave 0.05mm on each side so it actually goes in... From Zero In classifieds forum section WE Apache MP5K with short mag (still waiting for that one to arrive) From fellow forum members Tokyo Marui FN 5-7 with Guarder FDE kit, Maple leaf barrel and rubber, new outer barrel and recoil spring (fuck me if I know how to confirm that, lmao) 3 magazines and 3d printed hatch loader clone of Vortex UH-1 with full trades (yay, now I have two!) 8 Nuprol red shotgun magazine shells, along with two 4x Velcro backed shotgun loops BOLT - AKSU74 B.R.S.S.

  18. Are they alright at dampening loud bangs? People complained about previous generations that they entirely cut off sound and didn't kick back in fast enough after - is that still the case? I only want to get a pair because people on my local field got extremely blank grenade happy recently and that shit just hurts my ears.
  19. Not sure about this specific kit but all base seals on Glock mags are circular... You stretch it over and put in place and they conform to rectangular shape of the base. If these are correct for your magazine and they still leak make sure to soak them up in silicone oil before you put them on. If you're having problem with long stick mags just know that base locking mechanism is the most retarded design in existence and is prone to leak by design. You may not even need new seals, just take the base apart, take of the seal, soak in silicone, clean the base and put everything back together and it should work a treat unless your seal is literally fucked and falling apart.
  20. These days you can get superb gear for cheap. Back in the day getting Airsoft gun was just the tip of the iceberg of expenses. Nowadays cheap guns exist that absolutely blow everything out of the water and require no modifications bar the initial maintenance. Multitude of mags, parts, gear and clothing good enough for Airsoft that won't break the bank. I would say 250-300quid all in brand new is enough to put you on even playing field with extreme majority of players out there (assuming no sidearm - these are more for fun rather than actual function and gas magazines are quite expensive). That being said if you're hoarder your wallet will cry every time you look in it's general direction. You don't need all that extra shit everyone is getting... but as everyone here knows all to damn well "needs" pale in comparison to "wants" 🤣
  21. From my limited experience they feel like they're from the same factory as WE but didn't pass their already quite liberal "quality control". I don't see the point of getting one of these now that AAP-01 exists unless you REALLY want just throwaway Glock look-alike and not actual functional workhorse. Yeah they work, they shoot BBs, they will be just fine in CQB environment. Cheap and cheerful but quality and performance-wise there are just better products out there. I always recommended CZP-09 as first pistol for someone that was thinking about getting their first gas sidearm. Why jump down TM upgrade rabbit hole or WE shit hole when you can have quality product working out of the box for 90 pounds that's compatible with both green gas and CO2? Even if it's a dead end with proprietary mags that don't find anything else it's just amazing pistol for the price. I've since jumped on AAP-01 bandwagon because it's amazing and it can be ANYTHING you want it to be and takes in the cheapest GBB mags on the market (Raven/Viral 50rd mags are like what 30 quid?). Wanna sidearm? Take one out of the box and off you go, doesn't need anything done to it. Wanna run it primary? Go fun mode, attach the stock, rails, maybe a foregrip, slap a long stick - there you go, you've just got yourself MP9 or MP5K PDW except you don't need to trade away your kidney for a bunch of big mags. It hops 0.40 out of the box - if you really want it you can slap scope on it and snipe because it's laser accurate. Oh you like your AAP so much that you want invest more into it? There is a metric fuckton of official upgrade parts. I just don't see downsides.

  23. I've only seen MilPro opinions and they all praise it but MilPro is priced on Comtacs level, meanwhile there are literally no reviews of cheaper "regular" version. Apparently 3rd generation finally ironed out all the issues with previous iterations with build quality and design. Does anyone here have it? They're attractivelly priced and should be better than each and every ripoff copy Comtacs/Sordins.
  24. Noob question - why picking these specific brands? Won't any bottle with propane do? Is it about the shape or does this one doesn't smell like rotten eggs? (can you even buy odorless propane anywhere?)
