The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Cyberlawyer replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Just took delivery of a custom kydex holster with L2 retention for my FNX 45. It’s fitted on a safariland qls fork so I can quickly swap it out on my belt.

This isn’t the first thread on this, and I’ll try not to repeat everything I already said. The Marui is clearly a better shooter out of the box and has correct trademarks, but it is more expensive, has less parts support and is too small (this bothers some people more than others). The WE is cheaper and the correct size, there is an option to add trades at extra cost. It has decent aftermarket support. However it needs some work to shoot as well as the Marui. As a minimum the hop arm needs some filing and a new hop rubber is a good idea. Personally I have the WE and have been very happy with it once I did a few modifications.

There are several clones of the Daniel Defence Mk 18 rail that will fit. 416 rails also need a different upper receiver otherwise the top rail won’t line up as the real steal version of the 416 is a piston gun so there is space at the top of the rail & receiver for the short stroke gas piston system.

I just found one of my 45 rounders, for some reason I can’t find the other one. I can’t believe how much heavier they are than the 30 round ones. I agree it’s hard to justify the cost of the 30 round mags when functionally the 45 round ones work so well and are 2/3 of the price. Between my MP5s MWSs and my MP7 I shed a tear every time I begin to think how much money I have spent on GBB mags.
-
Very nice, It is certainly the most iconic version. How many mags did you order, and did you end up going for the 45 or 30 round ones?
-
Where is it coming from? Which version did you go for?
-
I have both an SD and a regular front end (one with a full stock and one with the collaspable stock, so I can mix and match to have all 4 variants). Cant say I have had this problem with the hop on either of mine, and they are stock with just an aftermarket Hop Rubber.
-
Best performance (for a GBB) the TM FNX45 is probably the best I have ever used. Most satisfying to use, in my opinion not so much (and yes I have a TM FNX 45).
-
I use mine in regular skirmishes all the time. I actually really enjoy the challenge. Made me a much better player than I ever was with an AEG. I still do just as well in terms of kills.
-
Just a note that you will need a decent number of mags to skirmish effectively. The general opinion is 6-7 mags is about right. I always run more, but I do love a bit of burst fire. A few run less and carry speed loaders, but the rattling puts me off going down that path.
-
WE m4 based GBBRs work very well for skirmishing, so I wouldn’t worry about getting one at all. I had one for a while and only moved it on as I have 3 MWS, Just a couple of thoughts: 1. You will probably need an npas to regulate power as gas guns power can vary hugely depending on the weather and what gas you use. 2. The hop rubber is a little hard for U.K. power. 3. The semi-auto trigger sear is a bit prone to wear (but it takes several thousand rounds) it is relatively easy to fix, but might be worth getting a steel part eventually (google it there is a very good YouTube video on it.)

This advert is COMPLETED!
- For sale
- Used
For sale is my Tokyo Marui 416c. It hasn’t seen much use as it was specifically bought for use at an indoor site that doesn’t allow GBBRs and has quite low FPS limits. Everywhere else I tend to use my MWS. The gun itself is totally standard (other than the battery connector being replaced with a deans) and has never been apart, there is a small amount of external paint wear mainly from extending the stock and on the top rail where some accessories were fitted. The gun comes with the original and one extra 30 round magazine (these are the ones where the battery fits in the magazine) and both magazines have a brand new Lipo in them. It also comes with a dummy PEQ15 which will take a battery if you want to use regular AEG Mags. 2 5c 1300 MAH batteries are included (one never used). As well as the original verticals grip which is included, also included is an angled fore grip which has been modified so it will fit right back against the magazine housing. Price is £355 firm (no offers) but does include shipping and PayPal fees. If you want to collect from Brentwood, Essex and pay cash on collection then the price is £330 firm.£355

The stock inner barrel is pretty good. The main reason to change is to go longer or tight bore (or both) to get more FPS. Note that some lesser quality tight bore barrels may bump FPS but at the cost of accuracy if the finish to the inner bore isn’t very uniform.
-
Any chance we can see the back side of the holster so we can see what mounting holes it is drilled for? -
A lot of airsofters overlook rifle ergonomics in favour of more FPS or fancy sights when it’s an area where small changes can make a huge difference to your shooting. One of the big reasons all my GBB rifle builds use the same grip. I have found an angle that works for me so I use it all the time, nothing speeds target acquisition than having a rifle that naturally points where you are looking.
-
yes, the 416c kit is calling me. Not only is it a barrel length I don’t have, but the kit is so complete that it shouldn’t be too hard to complete using all aftermarket parts.
-
For my next project I want to build an MWS based HK416c using no TM parts, just after market bits. That one is going to have to wait a while though as it will be quite expensive.
-
My latest build, a very minimalist light weight build especially for 2/3 gun competition shooting. 14 inch barrel, light weight 14 inch m-lox rail, locked to semi, shooting about 430 fps. And a family photo with my mk12 DMR and my mk 18.
-
Nope, mine is box stock other than an npas and an aftermarket hop rubber (can’t remember which one now). Still shoots fine. Personally I’d get the sliding stock version, looks so much cooler..... The collectors edition mags are a must have in my view. More realistic curve and no line of bbs down the front to spoil the look, but at £70 each they are really pricy.
-
I have a WE mp5 and a WE Mp7 GBB. Love them both. Although the MP5 is my favourite just because it is so iconic. However neither of them really get skirmished because the MWS is so good in virtually every scenario it’s just easier to pick that up, plus all my gear is fitted with 5.56 pouches and it is a PITA to switch to SMG pouches. The Marui MP7 is great out of the box performs really well, is pretty accurate, and is reasonably durable, but I couldn’t get over the fact that it is about 10% under size, which is noticeable if you compare them. In addition the Marui MP7 is the only gun I am aware of where it’s WE equivalent has better aftermarket parts support. The sensible answer is probably not to buy either and just get a few more mags for the MWS, however where is the fun in that... Of the two you have chosen I would go for the MP5. Parts available is better and the FPS can be sorted easily and cheaply with an npas.
-
My cold weather backup is a can of Nuprol 4.0. The MWS runs brilliantly on black gas on stock internals in the cold. If it’s too cold for the MWS to work well on black gas then it’s too cold for me to want to play.....
-
It was a complete lower receiver only, as I already have a spare upper. I got a decent price. If you count what I paid for the upper when I bought it (minus the new rail etc I put on it) it was still a decent chunk cheeper than I could have bought a second hand MWS for. I thought about using epoxy but I’m too impatient to wait for it to dry properly so I spoke to a mate who specialises in welding aluminium and filled it with a spot of weld. Some careful grinding back with a dremel and it’s virtually invisible. I will reinstate the rotation pins as the damage to the upper has been done and this lower Is for my 2/3 gun competition rifle so it suits that civilian AR look, but I wouldn’t have bothered otherwise. It just reduces the resale value.
-
The anti rotation bolts I have require two holes to be drilled in the lower. Where the fake forward trigger box retaining pins are located. These fit two small studs in the front of the anti-rotation pins that stop them twisting. These need to be drilled very carefully preferably with a pillar drill and using a punch hole as a guide. With the trigger box removed just to be safe. The maniac that installed the ones I have clearly didn’t exercise proper care and made a real mess of drilling one side. To fix it I’m going to have to fill the crater he created and sand a refinish a bit of the receiver. given I can see absolutely no practical reason to fit them I can’t see why anyone would want to drill holes in their receiver just for a minor aesthetic change.
-
Personally I can’t say I have ever used one and all of my guns have seen plenty of red and black gas as well as green. Only upgrade I have made to the BGC is an npas to regulate FPS and I keep a couple of spare Nozzle return springs on hand as they can go (although they can last ages, it’s a bit of a lottery). I’d run it stock for a while and only install the upgrades if the OEM parts break.
-
I’m using the black MWS one. Most of my gun is stock internally my only internal upgrades are inner barrel, hop rubber, hop hub and npas and that’s it. I have a 450 FPS DMR as one of my MWS’ and in terms of performance the above list (with a long inner barrel) is all it took.
