I have found that the MP5 doesn't need a high mount sight due to the drop on the stock (even with face-pro) unlike the in-line M4 style. Can't imagine using a red dot on a high mount even with my giraffe neck! Also....lovely collection there! GBBs?

I tried one but due to latching and the issues of having controls inside the trigger guard (not a great idea!) I sold mine 😀

So what was it? Just in case someone else runs into the same issue!

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.

Baby blue paintpen on mags and rifle, BFGs are engraved. Plus I have enough pics and details of internal upgrades to back it up 😁

Stirling Airsoft Op ACRE at Gloucester prison. Being part of 3A and getting to clear C-wing at 2am then keep harassing the guards in the med block to disturb their sleep 😴

I am sure I have seen a cut away diagram somewhere. TBH it isn’t that complex and should be easy enough to reverse engineer from the principle. EDIT Found one, not the best but gives you an idea!

As Asomodai says, the FPS drop is a by product of the hopup giving more backspin to the BB (by pressing on it more) I chronoed my Cyma AKS-74U once with the hop in full and wondered why it was only 150fps! Then I remembered I had stripped it down and the hop always gets pushed on max when reassembling! Turned it off and back to 330fps 😂

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

Others have found that it gives higher power. I have used a RA Tech NPAS in a TM nozzle / bolt and found it pretty good at dropping the FPS. You need the black one, as the silver (WE) one is too fat to fit. I would check what is in the G&P nozzle to start with as they might have used the 3 position valve stopper (or get one for £9 from Firesupport) as this can be used to alter the FPS too. A spare nozzle and nozzle spring would be the minimum, I usually take a spare complete nozzle (easier to swap out) or complete bolt (even faster to change) Other than that taking the AEG as insurance might be a good move. I have found the MWS to be very reliable but if you have travelled to the other end of the country and still have 23hrs of game play left if would suck to not have a rifle!

Turns out they are taking August off for some family time / medical reasons. My booking was missed which is why I didn’t get a notification, mistakes happen so no biggie. Booking moved to the 12th Sept and there is a boot sale on the 11th (luckily as I have lots of stuff to move on!) so will be going to that too 👍

Was that from Facebook? (Don’t have FB!) Strange they sold me a ticket for the 15th then! @shamal I am only 10mins away…takes me longer to bomb up my mags! I’ll ping Andy an email and get it moved to the 12th Sept…and I have a tonne of stuff for the boot sale too! Thanks all!

I have emailed them but nothing yet, still pretty early. Hopefully I can move my booking to the next game day as it is a great site. Book an evening game at StrikeForce CQB on Thursday as a consolation game ;)

Luckily I only live 10mins away but still gutted…looking forward to some pew-pews!

Just turned up to the site (having booked a ticket last month) and it is all locked up and no signs of life. I had no notification that the day was cancelled, any one know what is going on?

Nice Goruck GR1 👍 Some really good accuracy out to that range too!

I run 3 mags in CQB: 1 in the gun and two on the rig. I carry a pistol mag sized speedloader full of BBs so I can refill the mags while I walk to respawn as the gas is good for ~100 shots, but the mags only hold 35 BBs 😁

What lube are you using in it? Seems that they can be picky about heavier oils and greases. I use Locksmiths graphite spray (Amazon or your local locksmiths) as it is super slick and dry so doesn't pick up dirt. The other issue is that the spring tension on a lot of the trigger parts is offset to one side making the parts twist and bind, might be worth stripping down and seeing if opposite corners of any parts are showing wear (and everything is running smooth, can re-assemble with no springs to check everything plays nice with its neighbours)

Probably put that many shots through it and my trigger is still ok! I can’t even think by what mechanism that might happen…but I am obviously not an “expert reviewer” ;)

I have the Dynamic Precision light weight bolt and it works fine in my MWS. Not sure why the trigger box might not be able to keep up? Or do you mean the bolt hold open on empty?

Std bolt and nozzle on 250mm barrel =335-340fpd on 0.20g and about 265-270fps on 0.30g at 20degC

I am using ASG Ultrair as it is consistent and on offer at PatrolBase. Nuprol Red is Propane with some Ethane to boost the pressure a bit (nuprol Green equates to pure Propane according to the Wiki article on the gas pressure at 20degC Unless it is close to freezing Nuprol Red is overkill.

I use 2 second fill, then do the next mag and rotate around the 5 mags until all have had a 10 second fill in total. Easily enough for 3 mags worth of BBs (either modded Gen1 or stock Gen 2 TM MWS mags) If you over fill the mag you end up with lots of liquid in them (so lots of shots) BUT not much of a gas layer above which is what propels the BB. After a couple of shots you will need to wait for more of the liquid to boil off into gas and get up to pressure before you have enough for the next shot. Less of an issue in hot climates but for the UK it can be a pain as there isn’t much residual heat in the mag body to do this or avoid cool-down.

Internals are a lot more fragile and poorly designed and executed, not the same availability of TM or after market parts for when it does break and some fundamental engineering design flaws that would have been easy to avoid. Throw in one of the most un-ergodynamic pistol grips of all time and you have a lemon. Other than that I guess it is ok 😂
