Cr0-Magnon

TM AA-12. I love the look of these and of course went for the drum mag as well. However I found setting the three hops frustrating, the gun made me quite immobile, the mag fed poorly and was loud while winding. All in all, it just felt like I was shooting three BB's when one would do.

My Cybergun Desert Eagle is right up on the limit and maybe 10 - 15fps over on a warm day, using Abbey Predator. I don't really want to use lower powered gas as I reckon the heavy slide needs at least a medium powered gas. Had a quick read and people are saying to shorten the inner barrel. I could do that easily enough as have a few spares lying around. Just wondered if there were any other methods people would recommend? I'm looking for something like a 10% reduction.

I would assume they're referring to the little box of BB's and dry firing inserts.

@AlphaBear just hadn't had the chance to type "Marui" for 30 seconds and was having withdrawal symptoms.

Because that's not the only reason to own one. Also, what I believe the OP was alluding too is at airsoft skirmish sites, you can usually either purchase or borrow standard M4/stanag mags. So they're after a gun which can accept those in case they lose, break or forget magazines for the gun.

Why not? There are always variances from one gun to another. Teching is not just swapping parts for more expensive ones. It's more about fine tuning by cutting, filling, sanding and drilling etc to ensure a perfect fit.

Hello

Oh do you mean the TM?

Save yourself some money and forget about the PSG1, everyone who picks one up, seems to sell it on once the novelty has worn off.

@Rogerborg - Has Julian Clary hacked your account? ?

I see sniping as essentially playing airsoft on "hard mode".....ie not necessarily to gain an advantage in range etc but to get more satisfaction from every shot that hits, because they are in fact at a fire power disadvantage. Obviously rocking a giant, heavy bright blue thing, which I would assume performs terribly, just puts the user at every possible disadvantage and as is evident leads to extreme frustration. Especially so if they are a young and/or a new player and have Novritsch or KM etc level expectations

A quick Google brings these up for £120. Two tone reduces the price for most and not sure how the seller intends to post the £3.50 smoke. The scope adds very little value. I fear this person rather than being a "dreamer" is another victim of the BBGun.com types.

For me airsoft is like going on holiday. Yes it can severely dent the bank balance, yes it's can be an arse ache to get all your stuff sorted (although now I just stick some music on, have a beer and do it at a leisurely pace a good few days before). Then you need to get up early and load the car etc. However most of the time I enjoy the destination, so feel it's worth pushing through all the other crap. I can then play a half-day and be home for lunch, already feeling like I've done something with my day. Whereas otherwise I'd still be scratching my arse on the sofa.

For that purpose I'd just go for the Army Armament. They're probably the cheapest of the bunch and it's not like they're terrible.

Classic mate, haha. I picked it up used but still in decent condition and shooting 346fps. Obviously not going to be my go-to skirmish gun but a lovely piece in general.

Also £250 seems a bit dear...

I haven't settled on a particular weight. I could hop 0.4's without issue but as you say, there doesn't seem much point at the ranges I'll use this. There are 0.3's in that drum because I wanted to use them up. I've found the drum does bump up the FPS, think it's filled with Abbey Predator atm.

FPS aside, I would highly recommend the hop unit. I love that I can have not enough hop, two clicks up too much, one click down perfect.

Just a 150mm maple leaf crazy jet, 50 degree flamingo bucking and the CNC wheel adjustable hop unit.

God I love this thing. 340fps, 25rps and feeds like a dream... VID_20210808_123131.mp4

Actually my main objection is the four questions marks in a row. That right there, tells you everything you need to know about a person.

You're not responsible for the actions of others.

@Rogerborg I tried to be nice and PM them to that effect. This is the response I got:
