Please don't get a two-toned £450 GBBR for your first gun. Although actually yeah get one, it'd make a great bargain for someone here when you list it for sale after 30 minutes of use!

Just as a pointer, threads are often more effective when the original poster poses a question. Although this subject has been done to death, so in this case the search function is your friend.

Site rules are often specific to them. My local allows shotguns when they say "semi only" but again, best to check before you attend. However yes, unless it's over 350fps they should allow you to have a gun which is capable of full-auto and you just don't use it in those situations. Although thinking about it, have any UK sites announced a particular stance on the The G&G SSG-1??

This is not strictly true. You don't need to turn up to site with a two tone gun as no one is going to check your defence. It's on the person selling the RIF to you to check UKARA or other defence. Also power limits vary from site to site but are generally 350fps/1.14 joule for anything capable of full-auto. Providing it's a 6mm airsoft gun and within the sites stated limits, I'm not aware of anything which is actually banned. Maybe another forum member is though?

Yeah I should quantify that when I say reliable I mean I can count on it while the mags are able to create a seal. They only seem to fail between games, so far so good on the field. I have bought six CO2 mags for it and at least two pissed gas immediately.

I love using pistols, even in woodland games. Getting kills with them is just so entertaining. I have several including 2 x ASG P-09's, which even in cold weather shoot very reliably for 4-5 mags at around 330fps. However in hot weather they can be a bit too powerful, so I use my Umarex Glock 19X or one of the TM's. I've tried AEP's in the past, even including the newest CYMA with MOSFET and I hated it. When I'm in close and split seconds count, I don't want my pistol whirring up to fire when I pull the trigger before shooting a measily 220fps. Show me a brand new design which fires at least 300fps and shoots almost instantly.

Especially when there's one going for a bargain in the classifieds... 😬

Hmmm....pretty much as I suspected then. Cheers.

Don't ask why LOL but I'm looking for a non-TM Hi-Capa and on the surface these appear to be at least halfway decent. Does anyone here have any real world experience with them though and speak on their gas efficiency, accuracy and reliability etc? I will add that I'm specifically looking at the HX2002 and HX1005.

I've just booked for 18th. My first ever proper CQB experience!

I appreciate they prevent fine tuning but I just like having one click too much, two clicks down not enough, one click up just right. I've seen Krytac hop units can be picked-up for around £30 but not sure it's even worth that.

Quick one - can anyone recommend a hop unit with incremental clicks? Also, ideally on the cheaper side as it'd only be going in my DE Honey Badger.

I've also experienced the terrible customer service provided by the Novritsch team. They immediately blamed me for a part failing. This is how it should be done. I ordered 4 x bags of BB's and 2 x Lipos from 308sniper.co.uk on a next day service. Only one bag of BB's and one battery was delivered today. Within two hours of my initial email reprting the issue, I received this:

I've noticed something about those 4.3 Limcat slides which is going to bother me. They have 9mm markings and my Guarder outer barrel .45. Does anyone make an outer barrel with 9mm markings?

Sods law isn't it but I've only just decided. Car insurance due and a few other things I need to sort before toy guns 😔 Thanks for the advice though!

I picked these up this month but have decided not to actually buy the gun! I removed them from the packaging purely to spray with a bit of silicone oil and fill with gas to keep the seals tight. Any idea what I could ask for them?

Ordered on 13th May and it's been at Langley/Heathrow since 21st May.

Now I'm actually trying to think what I've got under my desk.....

This is actually the second time it's happened. I also got three police officers turning up at my office. The conversation went like this: Police: Why have you tried to import a RIF? Me: Because I'm a UKARA registered airsofter. Police: Oh cool, some of the guys from the station are airsofters. You're obviously not dodgy. Have a good day.

Just received a letter from BF stating that they've seized a RIF (GBB Pistol) I purchased from Hong Kong retailer. I did specifically instruct the retailer to show my UKARA number on the outside of the package. Whether or not they've done this, I don't know. However I should imagine they've also declared it as "toy parts" or something like they usually do. I paid via Paypal, so do I have a case for claiming the full-amount back? Also has this happened to anyone else and they've successfully fought it? Doesn't really seem worth it for £150 (especially if I can get a refund).

I'm not sure if this is an old design or one that's coming soon but I like it a lot. I think it'd go well with the dual Stainless chassis and I already have an STI grip on order.
