  1. Ahh no, was thinking of this guy: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/96291-longest-airsoft-target-shot
  2. Your gun is massively underperforming. My mate Nico can reach out to 81.1M with a 1J build 😉
  3. Cheers. Managed to get this one sorted without drama, the previous was a right pain though.
  4. My missus bought a load of these Apple airtag trackers for various applications. Our cats don't wander far, so we don't actually use them fulltime but they worked very well when we did give them a test.
  5. I was sceptical but something that worked almost immediately for when my cat went missing, was to put a blanket they slept on over one end of the fence. Apparently if possible, putting their litter tray outside is also highly effective. We think ours got into a scrap and sprinted off in a direction he was unfamiliar with.
  6. What is the technique for getting that little pin through the trigger and trigger bow? I tried hammering one and it ended up flattening the end before the pin was all the way in.
  7. Proprietary parts galore, what happens if you keep the gun for several years and they've stopped making that hop unit etc. Also needing a tool to adjust the hop, seems like a step backwards.
  8. My favourite recent purchase(s). WE M9 + Custom laser Engraving + Rosewood Grips.
  9. Glad you got it sorted. Not sure on the correlation between baseplate thickness and mags staying in though?
  10. WE/AW and of course Action Army, work best.
  11. Personally I'd just keep it to one side. I have one and while it doesn't get a ton of use, I have used it for garden plinking, along with urban & woodland skirmishes. For all three, it is without a doubt the most fun and versatile gun I own.
  12. Why buy something less useable for £100, when you can bump that up by £25 and get a TM.
  13. WATCH me knock NOOBS eyepro off with this REAL OVERPOWERED TORPEDO gun!??!!!?!!
  14. Anyone got a TM Desert Eagle they want a quick and easy sale on?

  15. Welcome back etc.. Most of this was covered in a recent thread but in summary: Pro's Better choice (although that's irrelevant if what you're after is available in The UK). Marginal cost savings. Con's Possibility of getting stung for various tax and handling charges. Possibility of Border Force seizing and destroying the item. Possibility of Border Force asking your local constabulary to come and have a chat with you at the delivery address (could be especially awkward if that's your place of work). Possibility of wrong items being sent or the good arrving damaged. Exchanges of which will be far more difficult. ...and yes I have personally experienced all of the listed cons, some multiple times.
  16. They're not even being subtle anymore, Kreuzotter is German for Viper....
  17. I obviously need to go back and watch this, my gun is featured in this video:
  18. Annoyingly I've lost the videos Luke sent me, believe it's the stock one though. Believe it is closed. I've put an order in with you for a ZCI hop chamber and 380mm barrel. Thinking I should add a 70 degree MR hop to that too 🤔
  19. No worries at all, happy to share my experiences etc. That's what we're here for. I hate to say it and it's probably more expensive but you may well be safer buying from evike. You'll almost have to pay import taxes but at least you know they declare it properly. Although not sure about the power issue 🤔
  20. Yeah quite a bit of experience with them and other Asian retailers. I did once have a RIF I ordered from JK, seized and destroyed by Border Force. Fortunately I got a full refund through PayPal. Another time (different retailer) Border Force asked the local Police to come and have a word with me about my import (that RIF was also seized). I have UKARA but that doesn't help if they misdeclare it to be "Toy Parts, $10" My advice would be only purchase something if it can't be bought over here. Don't do it because you're saving £20 or so. It really is seemingly random, how smoothly the process goes.
  21. 1) In theory you shouldn't need to. 2) About the same as any of the retailers over there. Quite often the courier tracking information is: We have it - It's Left Origin - Look down idiot, it's on your lap 3) Ask the magic 8 Ball, it really is a matter of "luck" - In theory you should have to.
  22. Wait a second...you guys can aim at specific body parts!? I just shoot in their general direction. Que sera, sera n' all that.
  23. Which bucking do you use in your DMR? I would have thought a Maple Leaf was good quality. I was thinking this too. So you reckon around 370mm? Oh yeah totally haha, one of my favourite sites has a 1.68J limit. So loading it up with 0.36's and I'm spot-on. Half of this is just for the sake of tinkering/tuning. Not like I'm going to be massively suffering, even at 1.88J sites. I've just changed the 70 for a 60, so can easily swap back. Yes the stock hop unit is rotary. I guess so, it was upgraded fresh out of the box by Luke this year.
  24. My G&G MBR556 is setup as a DMR and shoots 2.1J on a 0.20g with no hop applied. However when setting the hop for 0.40g's it drops to 1.5J and set to 0.36's, it sits around the 1.6J mark. I've just put a new M140 spring in it and not keen on the idea of going up to an M150 to achieve 1.8J on a 0.40g. The stock inner barrel is 463mm but I'm using a 455mm ZCl in combination with the stock hop unit, a 60 degree maple leaf macaron & omega nub. I appreciate a drop in FPS/Joule output when setting hop is normal but think going from essentially 475fps to 400 with the hop set, is quite an extreme case. Is there anything I can do to reduce the effect?
