I haven't skirmished it yet, what upgrades should I put in it?

I knew a guy whose upgraded Thompson had a legendary rate of fire, but was problematical because the magazine springs couldn't feed fast enough to keep up. The days when you just put a 9.6v and a 1j spring in a marui and ran it till the gearbox exploded...

Once the BB leaves the barrel it will start to decelerate. There may be some slight residual acceleration from gas/air exiting the barrel but that would be negligible and only for a very short distance. Ye cannae break the laws of physics...

Accommodation isn't great...

I managed to find the post that got me banned from Arnies for "Trolling" back in 2005 😁

I believe this is/was standard practice of the (in)famous Special Airsoft Supplies...

One of the first forums I joined twenty odd years ago when I started. Lasted longer than many of the others.

Well, a "Cosplayer" on their way to an event has realy stirred things up... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14349311/amp/moment-man-sniper-rifle-Elizabeth-line.html

A few years back, no issues with them.

Unless you are dead set on an AEG, the WE Apache GBB is a nice bit of kit. All the appropriate bits are metal and three round burst is fun. Kicks a bit though and mags are heavy and limited rounds.

Where do you get these from? Asking for a friend...

Have you met my mate Wayne Kerr?

Looking for something simple, and ended up building a "Toon" B24.

I have had more interesting usernames elsewhere. I was "Paddy" on Techbrigade, ASCUK, UKASC and Arnies, on account of having Irish Roots. As I got old and boring I just started using an abbreviated "real" name. I remember a load of guys signed up to ASCUK as a team and were "Wolf Squad Gunnner" "Wolf Squad Sniper" "Wolf Squad Leader" and then pmd the admins for name changes when the team broke up. I do remember the time HaVoC MaN got himself banned, and we weren't using validation on new users, so he immediately rejoined as Beakersuxcock...

Well, I saw this and it was hilarious. Spoiler allert*** GOLD PLATED DESERT EAGLES!!!

HPA fanboys...

If only we could make Airsoft as cool as Air Pistol Shooting.

I had an old pair of trackers that I managed to scratch the lens. Used them as a test pair, quite happily tool a .177 air rifle pellet without marking or deforming. Not massively scientific, but I was curious, having seen some alegedly "mil-spec" goggles crack from a 500fps sniper test.
