Ooh that's interesting. I was looking at those. The cheek weld doesn't look great though? I had to Google "Glaive" haha, yeah we need more on that! Cheers for the words of encouragement.

@Hrimfaxi Loves his Golden Eagle shottie!

Totally agree @Tackle, you do have to take at least a calculated chance to do the things you enjoy in life. Obviously banging my head wouldn't be ideal but my main concern are the shots which hit the cheek bone kinda area from time to time. Will keep looking for suitable masks etc, as I do have a very nice DMR which I can hang back with. @EDcase - Bloody lower backs! It's always "fun" seizing up at lunchtime and then having to head back out on the field isn't it ?

Thanks guys, I guess we all have our struggles. I don't think there is anything specific in Airsoft which is a terrible idea for me going forward, apart from the whole getting shot in the eye but then who of us wants that!

About a month ago I detached one of my retinas. Shortly thereafter I had the surgery and I'm currently on the mend, pretty much past the first stage but it takes up to six months for the final results. As per the title, I really do enjoy skirmishing. I hate this sedentary lifestyle most of us have bought into but need a purpose behind my exercise. However.....since it happened I've been nervous, sensitive and paranoid about my eyes. Of course I've got decent eyepro but I'm struggling with the idea of putting myself in the position to be shot on the face. I suppose the question element of this, is has anyone else experienced injuries/medical issues etc which have put their airsofting future in doubt, even if it's just the mental aspect and how did you push through it?

As above, if you're lucky someone may recognise the base guns but outside of that you'll need to know upgrades and at least how they're shooting (ie, do they feed OK, hop OK and is the power within what you'd reasonable expect). Otherwise you can't even sell them as working.

The manufacturers advice is use 11.1 (will have to be a slim stick lipo) for anything shooting 1J and up. Use 9.9 LiFe for anything below. Long story short, if you're trying to achieve 340FPS on a 0.20g. Get a bearing spring guide and use the ASG blue M95 spring. Then you should be fine with a 11.1V lipo.

Seeing as it's just a toy, she'd be fine with both her and her son being shot in the eyes using it? That's what her darling little boy was potentially subjecting his fellow pupils too. As someone who recently had eye surgery, I am very sensitive about this subject!

I'm re-watching Peep Show for the umpteenth time at the moment. Annoys me they didn't have any eyepro though! Definitely don't want a "Golden Snitch" to the face!

Has the last one on the right lifted his mask? You can get instantly kicked out of a war for that.

Is this NBB? Looks in the same vein as their LCP & Bodyguard.

Thanks guys, for some reason I didn't get notifications of any responses.

So I can flash my RIF around in public as long as I'm wearing a costume? ?

I recently picked up a secondhand D-Boys PDW. However the pistol grip was broken in transit and I can't find a direct replacement online. The place I got it from sent a standard M4 grip but it's significantly longer than the one it came with and as such I can't even get the motor to make contact with the gears. Would replacing the motor for a long shaft one solve this, or is it not as simple as that?

I've been watching a Japanese airsofters YouTube channel and it's quite interesting to learn how they play. From what I understand, the majority of their sites are CQB. Even outdoors they run around a village type area or between shipping containers etc. Also they only have three different BB weights, 0.20's, 0.25's and 0.28's. The last of which can only be used if they're in a bolt action rifle. I don't think they have any MED, so they're happy if they can reach 30M with their bolties. TM have been regarded as one of the top Airsoft manufacturers for a very long time and are obviously successful/content the way things are. Why mess with that formula.

The A&K uses a different gearbox, nozzle and hop unit to the G&G. Are you unable to source G&G mags?

Yeah but you get a 25p refund every time someone tells you they'll definitely come back to you on payday.

I was intending on using 0.28g. Let's face it, for a CQB gun 0.25g would be fine too.

I haven't used it yet.

Quick one, I've figured out how to make the hop wheel appear. However I can't quite work out a decent way to turn it up/down. Are people using a little tool? I have quite small hands but even I can't get a finger through the ejector port.

I wish you luck because that's what you're counting on.

Why's he putting Airsoft toy on something which is classified as a RIF in The UK? Border force could choose to seize and destroy it on that basis alone (I speak from experience). Add in the "gift" stuff and you'll be extremely lucky to actually receive it this end.

This is the weird thing about measurements in The UK. Springs are measured in metres but we chrono in feet. I have an aquarium, it's 4ft wide and holds 300L ?

Sounds like you were fortunate. I'd wager there's no set procedure dictating that every RIF must be pulled by Border Force. Rather they have a quota of random inspections or when packages are seized, it's literally because the person handling it isn't familiar with the whole airsoft RIF/UKARA concept.
