Well you werent shooting outdoors, more like 1.9 degrees 😂
Was from a couple of weeks ago when it wasn’t quite as chilly. Mags and gas were stored inside and checked with the kitchen meat thermometer before use.

I have an FRV shooters belt from a couple of years ago, last November I noticed that one of the stitches on the MOLLE section had come away. I sent them some photos, exchanged a couple of emails and returned the belt. A few days later it is back with me and repaired free of charge.
Seems I was lucky given that fulfilling new orders is such a struggle now. Given the developments in technology and materials and the experiences of those on this thread I would be looking at a C2R now!

Little knowledge nugget:
TM MWS all stock except for Crazyjet barrel* ASG gas and temp around 19deg shooting 0.30g BBs.
FPS is over 5shots, equivalent for 0.20g shown in brackets.
(350fps 0.20g == 285fps 0.30g == 1.13J)
G&P Green nozzle set to:
Minimum (almost fully closed) - 255fps (312fps)
Maximum (fully open) - 305fps (373fps)
I have replaced the plastic grub screw which was starting to split along the screwdriver slot with a 3mm x 6mm stainless grub screw (1.5mm hex key) and some blue Loctite to keep it in place. A blob of super glue on the end stops it unscrewing all the way and flying down the barrel (a la AngryGun v1 nozzles) Screwing it out a couple of threads seems to keep it around 265-270fps (allowing for the sites chrono to differ from mine!)
*crazyjet barrel adds 15-20fps over the stock TM one on 0.30g / Greengas

Hey, so with my UKARA still not registered. Been onto my local site for 2 weeks now and they still haven't done it. And I'm told it only takes 2 mins... 😒 anyway obviously my rifle still hasn't been ordered. But... I was originally wanting the mk18 version but the over used loctite on the barrel nut and the need for a URX tool has been putting me off, think I may be swayed back to a standard m4a1 as its so easy to access the inner barrel and hop up etc.. so got a question. I presume the gas tube running from the gas block/front sight back to the receiver is inert? Am i correct? If so is it possible to run the rifle without the front sight and gas tube leaving the hand guard / rail free floating. I'm not over keen on the front sight which is one reason I was going for the mk18. If it's fine to run like this it will make the m4a1 a more preferable choice for me again. As well as the fact its £70-80 cheaper. ( that leaves money for an extra mag
)
Thanks in advance.
You can remove the “gas tube” but will need to retain the front sight / gas block to hold the front of the hand guard on. You can get front gas blocks with fold down front sight that are lower profile.

Welcome
Have fun at StrikeForce Gloucester - some really fast, up-close CQB. I played last week there and had forgotten how much fun and how tough the games were. Make sure you take a torch!
Spartan and BlackOps in Bristol are good outdoor sites, also in Gloucester is UCAP Vendetta (in the old prison!) and I think there is one just across the bridge in Wales (Dragon Valley?)

Thanks for reply. Its a relief what you say 😀 However i think it won't be difficult to fix it, just glue a layer of black soda can on this nodule with hole that the pin goes through and it should be fine
I put 4 layers of tiny gaffer tape squares on the bottom of the pin nub on the upper receiver. No side to side or up and down play. There is a slim gap between receivers but not noticeable from 3ft.

Bulk buy if you can. More cost effective. Fire Support are decent on ASG UltraAir but they are smaller cans. Zero One Pro gas is around £40 for six 700ml cans and is basically Abbey Predator Ultra gas.
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!

Hey airsofters. So with a TM MK18 on it's way soon. I was wondering roughly how many mag fills a standard 700ml can of gas gets you? Want to make sure I buy enough for a few sessions. Thanks
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.

BOLT ISSUES:
Now this is really foxing me: I am using the original bolt (reinforced spring inside as the old one broke). With a fresh mag, it fires well for the first few shots and then performance drops hugely and it can't empty the mag. Using my mate's original bolt, (and using the same rifle and same magazine as before!!), it fires absolutely fine and empties the mag reliably.
I have since changed to a light weight bolt (had one lying around so worth a try) and changed the pistol head/seal as well; with the same result. Anyone clever out there can point me in the right direction as I am really missing using my MWS?
Thanks in advance!
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!

So the black NPAS can increase FPS (for some reason, I thought it only went down). Using Abbey Predator Ultra.
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.

And here is my MWS! Yet to be fielded (this weekend) but I love the look!
One quick question - I have the black NPAS ready to install, but I am hitting 1.05-1.13J with a .32. Am I right in saying that the Black NPAS only lowers FPS/J's, and therefore, at this time no need to install? Also, does this J output with .32 seem right (stock but with brass nub and modify tan bucking).
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.

That’s ace, do you know if they still run it? I’m only 35 mins away from strike force
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.

I have a spare 300MM crazy jet - likely to make it too hot?
Only one way to find out 😁
I am putting money on +20-25fps gain with 0.30g BBs.
place your bets now!

I actually use a Crazy Jet barrel in my MK23 and goodness me it's frightening how good of an upgrade that little tube is...
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)

I would say that looks good but you could fit twice as much cover / barricades / buildings in that space!
If you imagine it like a village with 2 meter wide “side streets” and maybe one 4-5m wide “main road” (with maybe a road block / check point on to break it up)When you are laying it out make sure there are some interesting angles on the roads / alley ways to keep people on their toes!
Keep us informed as you build this site, looks like it could be a great semi-urban field 😀

Small update, Warrior fast pouch on the FRV belt so I can run rifle left handed, pistol right handed. Helikon grey shirt dyed dark ranger green with Dylon Yellow and an Inforce WML on the MWS 👍
