Surely the ones you were looking at were CNC aluminium rather than plastic or pot metal? But yeah, these are prone to that when using strong gas and full-auto.

That'll cost you what, £60 or so delivered. I would be very surprised if you see a measurable improvement. As you've already discovered with the maple leaf, the stock setup in these guns is decent.

What are you talking about...I have six different Glock variants, because they help me "push the objective"

I was dubious when I saw the thread title. Your write-up is fair though. So, welcome n' all that. You picked up on something which I have found to be generally true across several sites and years of playing. It can be a little bit like golf. People turning up mostly to try and/or show off their latest equipment, combined with milling around talking with their mates. Not everyone is super enthusiastic (of course the current weather doesn't help) about the actual objectives and often people who celebrate victories are seen as knobs. Maybe because of this, I rarely hear marshals even mention who "won" either. Possibly that's my overall point, maybe it's not for you or maybe you'll learn to take it less seriously. Think of it as a good reason to get out of the house early on a weekend, meet some mates, get the adrenaline flowing and even a little excercise too. Edit; I will also add that collecting the equipment (often the guns), can be at least 50% of the reason people are in to this hobby.

Yeah go on then. PM me and I'll give you my PayPal details. In fact all of the training will be via PM and I may not respond for several months....in order to teach you the art of patience of course but yeah let's do it.

Finding a pistol which works well in the cold has been the bane of my airsofting experience. Love my Co2 P-09 but when you see the o-ring which keeps it from leaking, it's not wonder they fail after five minutes. Which gas do you use in the HK45 or FNX when it's cold?

It's not even old tech.

I had a pre-2020 SSX23, the jamming and double-feeding was ridiculous. Although I don't think they ever directly accepted responsibility, Novritsch did release feedlips which fixed this.

Actually no, I think they've done it for licencing reasons. They're recently increased their stock of Umarex Glocks and removed all trace of any TM G series products. ...and you hate the gen.3? It's also got the 15mm cylinder, so just as snappy and the externals are of the same quality.

Yeah I've been keeping an eye on it as was planning to pick one up. I've just taken delivery of my "850th" Gen.3 19. Because they're also excellent.

Out of the box the SSX23 blows all the other options away and if you argue that, you're just a "hater" If you want H&K trades and are willing to go through the upgrade route yourself, then the TM would of course be the go-to. The ASG/STTI are just budget versions of the latter. I wouldn't get the SSP1 unless you're just looking for a CO2 pistol. The TM Hi-Capa's are infinitely better on green gas. I love my Gold Match and anything you do to it, isn't really an upgrade. You're just changing the externals. I am also very keen on my AAP-01 with Black Mamba kit but it's more cumbersome to carry than a Hi-capa. How important is full-auto and a folding stock to you? Edit; any excuse to post this little clip ? VID_20210808_123131.mp4

Twice in that ad "In perfect condition, apart from...." Also yeah, the Jag version is around £130 in actual perfect condition.

Back on topic. It seems they've gone back to the drawing board with both the gen.4 19 & 17. I saw on their twitter that in December they were offering owners of either the opportunity to apply for a new hammer assembly for either model. Seems some of the measurements were out. Also a few UK retailers have recently received Marui deliveries and neither model seems among the items restocked. So I guess there will be a new batch in which this issue doesn't occur.

To me this would definitely be blind firing, although yes possibly a loop hole in that sense. The phrase they tend to use in safety briefings is "we're not Americans"

I made a cardboard periscope at school. Will have to see if it's up in the loft.

Going back six years or so when I started playing, "Blind Firing" was described as only presenting the weapon. Most typically around a door or over a wall. Rules against this make sense, it's both potentially dangerous and unfair. However the last few sites I've visited, have stated it's when you fire without looking down your sights (e.g. hip firing). This doesn't make sense to me, I mean you wouldn't shoulder a mini gun. One player was chastised for rotating his gun on his shoulder while he angled around a corner, even though in this scenario they were both shouldering it and looking down the iron sights. What say you? Has something changed or is my interpretation incorrect? Obviously site rules vary from place to place, which have you experienced and which do you think it should be?

They fire OK, yeah?

I had a similar experience after buying a RIF from Asia (border force letter and visit). Not sure on the law regarding knives, I do however know that an import licence is a real thing.

Apart from price, is there any difference between something like this and the ones which are marketed as airsoft specific? (Abbey, Nuprol etc) https://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-and-fluids/lubricating-and-penetrating-oil/halfords-silicone-spray-lubricant-500ml-621277.html

I concur but the long and the short of it is there's not one big airsoft youtuber, who doesn't use clickbait titles and at least a big dollop of manufactured drama.

Yeah, there's like a 95% chance that you get ripped off. Either you're mug enough to want to pay £40 for a battered mag or you're expecting the seller to include the RIF and they don't.

That's the fourth one, actually one of my favs. Airsoft punt gun anyone?

Liked for the Tremors 2 reference. After watching the original as a child, I discovered there were in fact seven films and a TV series. Until now I felt like I was the only person in the world who'd seen past the first!

This is one of my biggest peeves with the hobby, gender inequality.... I mean when a man runs out of BB's or has an issue with their equipment, they have to go back to the safe zone. A 4/10 woman with pink hair, will have a queue of simps longer than the chrono queue at 9am.

From the photo's looks like it's for women only? Not many on here I'm afraid.
