MAX DICKER

I'm from Cardiff and can remember checking out their YouTube channel and thinking they looked dodgy and incompetent at best. Glad I never played there.

Well I don't agree with you🤪

OK, let me ameliorate my position; TM's are generally fine with green gas, and whilst they will not last forever, higher power gasses will degrade their lifespan. In all my years, I've not had first hand experience of slides flying off, though I've heard of it happening. And it sounds like this is something you've come across. I see this being a rare occurrence. I roughly counted how many rounds I fired yesterday, it was over 500 and that was fairly average for me. I think my point is that I think the fear that if you put green gas in your TM the slide will end up in orbit is overblown. I still think OP's pistol was defective or damaged.

Yeah, granted full auto probably reduces the lifespan of a G18, but I maintain that TM pistols are absolutely fine with green gas and OP's pistol was either a defective piece or has been damaged.

Yeah, but literally what else is she got to contribute to the world?

13 years of luck using green gas on many TM's then. Perhaps OP has knocked or dropped his gun

Wow that sucks. I'd say a manufacturing defect, I've put tens of thousands of rounds through mine and have no cracks.

Oops Time to buy a new one I think

If my kit was Russian, I'd burn it right now. However, if I turned up to airsoft on Sunday and someone was wearing Russian gear, it wouldn't bother me. I wouldn't see it as them endorsing what bad Vlad is up to, rather it's an aesthetic choice. Reagan was right when he called them the evil empire.

How hot? I have a leister hot air gun I can use but am obviously concerned about damage

Genuine

Looks good, I had one on my old honey badger.... tempted to get one again. Where did you get yours?

So this happened last month. Not a problem, still works and I have a replacement perspex lens but Holy crap, I cannot unscrew the bezel. Does anyone have any experience doing so? What am I doing wrong?

That's a neat idea, though I'm wondering how you're losing mags? The only way it's happened to me in the past is from using certain holsters.

Or putting the gun down, stricking the cap, waiting for the glorious plume of colourful smoke to emerge before throwing...... only for it to actually be a thunderflash. I have never done that, not ever, honest

What's a face book?

Obviously North Korea

I'd say that lot wouldn't come to £400 brand new

Just arrived from Brownells. An AR-15 Tekmat, Strike industries dust cover and best of all, a Strike industries multi angle pistol grip. Going to experiment with different angles at UCAP Vendetta this weekend.

I remember I bought one from new as well, sold it on a year or two later for the same reason. It was a fun gimmick but not reliable enough to skirmish with. No regerts

It's kind of endearing, like adopting a rescue puppy. You'll turn that poor broken two tone horror into a gleaming fully functional rif. Post pics when it's done. 👍

That's an awesome find. Hope you get it working. It's many years since I've tinkered with a gearbox, but my first was a JG v3..... unfortunately I don't have 3 hands so it was a wretched experience.
