Patrolbase still have the "Two cans for a tenner" on ASG Ultrair - https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-ultrair-power-gas-520ml Probably the only reason I ever order from them!

I have never counted but have never used a full can in even the longest game day! I guess weighing a mag before and after filling / weighing a full and empty can of gas would allow you to work it out. As I get ~100 shots from one gas fill of 10-12s I simply charge at the start of the day then top off at lunch. Make sure you fill them with 1-2s blast then wait then another 1-2s, repeat until full.

The thing is CO2 is less effected by temperature than the various propane-based "insert colour here" gas. I know that some places were worried about CO2 == twelfty brazillion fps, even when there are plenty of gnus out there (Cybergun 1911, CZ's, etc) than safely shoot sub 330fps on CO2. When I had my CO2 1911 I simply popped a fresh bulb in at the chrono and fired 3 test shots and never had an issue. Sounds like lazy marshalling and/or a lack of basic physics / engineering

Yep, the air nozzles on the Cyma AKs is the one weak point but easy and cheap to fix. One other thing to watch out for is the only chrono that matters is the one at the site you are playing at that day! My MP5 was 335-337fps on 0.20g at home but 351-352fps at the site. Bugger. Same with my GBBR but that was easier to dial down the gas valve. Snipped a coil off the spring and all good now. I figure mine is reading about 5% under (or theirs is over, but that argument won’t get you anywhere) and work from there.

Morning all, I have decided to finally tackle the huge box of gear and parts I have kicking about and thought a bring n’ buy sale would be a good way to shift it without the bore of taking photos, getting paid and posting it all. Does anyone know of any airsoft bring and buy sales in the Midlands / South West coming up? I know UCAP were looking to do one last year and Bristol Courthouse (RIP) used to put them on every month.

I am guessing there is an issue with the nozzle/cup seal/rocket valve. Borrow the nozzle from your mates bolt and see if that sorts the issue, then narrow it down to the specific part!

At it’s shortest you will get more power, by extending it you will close the gap for gas to get to the barrel and drop the power.

The output on the NPAS will depend how you have it set, from “hardly trickling out the barrel” to “section5 firearm straight to jail” ? 1.05-1.13J on a 0.32g is pretty good. I guess there is slight joule creep with the heavier ammo, as Japanese players don’t usually use anything over 0.25g / 1J limit.

ITAS are all ex-bootnecks who play airsoft for fun and have developed their own methods to make a team more effective. Their training isn’t the cheapest but was good quality (been sent on courses of varying quality with work in the past!) and helped us work better as a unit. Youtube gives you a lot of the theory but you can’t beat someone watching you do it for the umpteenth time and give feedback! It won’t turn you into a Tier 1 door kicker, but you and your mates will be slightly better than the usual headless-chicken players out there and might spend less time walking back to respawn.

https://www.instagram.com/itas_events/Is their Insta. They hired Strikeforce for the day so I guess they could run it at other locations given enough interest. Pic from the day with Matt, Chris and myself from the DarkOak about to breach a room…again ?

I did a training day at Strikeforce in Gloucester put on by the ITAS guys (search for them on Instagram) that covered CQB techniques specifically tailored to airsoft as direct transposition of military tactics doesn’t work. Was a busy day but ratio of 3:1 students to instructors and a final kill house scenario made it well worth the £80.

Tokyo Marui M4 and Pistol mag style ones. Still on my first one after 2+ years.

Only one way to find out ? I am putting money on +20-25fps gain with 0.30g BBs. place your bets now!

I have one in my WE G19 and it made a huge difference. Interesting to see how the std TM barrel compares (I am “downgrading” to the TM for power issues)

Another snippet of info that might be useful; TM 250mm barrel > CrazyJet 250mm barrel gains you about 10-15fps. Now back to your scheduled program…

Couple of things to check: If you have done the “green gas mod” to the mags, check that you are not over filling the mag with liquid gas. Are the mags filling correctly? I tend to fill mine in 1-2s blasts, leave it to warm up, then do again. A 8-10s fill (in stages) is plenty for 100+ shots. Is there an air lock in the mag? Give it a blast of gas while holding the release valve open, then try filling in stages again. let us know how you get on

The number 2 is engraved underneath the bottom plate….watch out for the mag spring when you take it off! The Gen2 mags seem to give better gas efficiency with out the need to trim the fill tube. Nothing to do with gas retention.

G&P reborn....again! Carry handle and classic fore end with BHD-type camp paint done in a hurry. Will be my go-to for woodland games (GBBR is NOT ideal when you need to put down lots of covering fire!) Now I need to find some metal STANAG mags in stock somewhere so I can paint to match!

As someone who tried to get them to come and certify a world record I can confirm this is not the case, they generally tell you that yours is too silly (really?! Have you seen some of the stuff they certify?) and then threaten legal action if you call it a "world record" with out them verifying it (even if you never mention the G word) Last email to them was pretty much summed up as "Go away in small, jerky movements'

If the mag corner is bent FFS don’t try and bend it back! I guarantee it will fracture ? Use a small file and file it flat a little at a time.

Check the little catch on the mag is moving smoothly. Press down the bb follower then check that the little catch at the back of the mag moves up and down smoothly. It is easy for dirt to get in there and make it sticky. I have had some that were sluggish due to dirt and another where the corner of the mag was bent inwards half a mm and stopping it moving at all!

For that sort of money just buy a regular MWS, change the stock / rails / grip and get any bits you fancy Cerakoted in a suitable pimpy colour

I would start with selecting a hand guard and measuring the internal diameter and then working from there as that will dictate the suppressor diameter. You will also need to check the length of the hand guard vs barrel and see what overlap you need.

The three prongs and 3 different screw holes (can see 2 in pic, at different levels) are a dead give away. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gp-marui-mws-gbb-adjustable-piston-valve

The G&P adjustable stop has 3 different holes for the thin cross screw so it adjusts how far forward the valve sits and thus the power. I was getting 180fps / 260fps / 290fps on green gas and 0.30g BBs at 18degC on the low/mid/high settings IIRC. Stock TM bolt/nozzle/etc
