Update on #maggate So I found my dodgy magazine and tried to load bbs again using the Marui XL loader. Same thing happened. Some bbs got stuck. The Marui XL struggles to load the mags so I thought I’d just use the loading rod that comes with the MWS and voila. No sticking bbs. I mean what the actual fcuk! Maybe I hand technique is a little suspect? 😂 Anyone else had problems with the Marui XL loader? I’m thinking of taking the O ring out of the bottom of the loader and trying to load the bbs again. See if that works

Cheers fella, I appreciate the instructions

Yeah possibly. It’s a newish mag though. Time to google how to take one of these mags apart and clean the spring channel.

So, today I took the MWS for a spin. I intended to use 3 RIFS today, the MWS, PTW and a NGRS. I ended up using the MWS for the majority of the day bar the last 1hr where the PTW came out for a spin. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun with the MWS and got some cracking shots... One thing though, one of my mags managed to get BB's stuck in them so they wouldn't feed. Has anyone else experienced this? I had to poke a think Allen key to dislodge the stuck BB's. The strange thing is that this happened twice to that one same mag!! Thoughts hive mind?

Try impulse101 in Japan... they will have them... Trying to get hold of TM parts in the UK is still a pain... has been for over a year...

Finally managed to pick up a real Unity Fast mount. A big thanks to a fellow forum member for selling it. I have to agree with online reviews, the aiming through the red dot is so much quicker and stops you craning your neck when aiming (if that makes sense ). Downside is that I can’t use my 3x mag as that sits too low!! Nothing that a riser won’t fix though.

So HAO are shipping again to the UK?

Personally anything Nuprol... sod that! But going back to Abbey predator the MWS can easily take it as the platform is designed to handle more than the duster gas the Japanese use. The only thing to be worried about is the joules creep... especially at temps above 22c. Mine was hitting 360fps at that temperature a while back... so I switched to the abbey green and came down to around 330-340fps.. However as a few others above have said the extra pressures may lead to the weakest part buggering up which in this case is the nozzle spring... Easy fix though.. switch it out to a much stronger Eagle6 spring... also get SixG's HSB buffer to give added protection as you don't want the B buffer part to disintegrate But yeah, Abbey pred is sure as hell fun to use

Give it a go and report back. I’d be interested to see the results. I run a fire fly hop in one of my recoils and it’s simply outstanding. Only drawback is when installing it’s got to be perfect due to the ganglia of the hop. If you have one you’ll know what I mean

Oooooh I've always wondered what prison life was like 😁. It's a site which is for sure on my to-do list.... Looks like an epic place to play too...

I totally forgot I still had my AAP-01! On reflection I'll probably not use it.... May just stick it on the classifieds when I get my finger out!.... But I still like the idea of sticking a drum mag on it and being that guy!!! lol Decisions, decisions...

Ran a chrono test on Abbey Green with the @Davegolf SixG HSB installed. Using G&G 0.28s I was getting 287 FPS at a barmy temp of 25/26c. If anyone doesn’t have the HSB installed what the frack are you waiting for. 😎

First shot 337fps then going down about 1 fps per shot there after. Stabilised at 327 FPS. Im gonna add Dave’s HSB and that will bump up the FPS by 5fps. So it’s looking very promising. I’ll report back on Sunday when it’s gonna be 26c.

Yes, the Abbey Predator Ultra is green gas but with more accelerant in it to give it extra welly. I forgot how powerful the gas was in sub 20c temperature. The Abbey green bottle gas (144a) shouldn't take it over the joules limit though as you said... I'll take some shots with 144a tomorrow if I have the time and see what the joules output is... It's gonna be circa 23c tomorrow in my neck of the woods so that will be a good measure of what summer gas can do. I won't leave the mag in the sun though as that's surely asking for trouble lol

Bloody hell!! 1.3j on green gas? You sure no one accidentally painted a red can green? What brand of green are you running?

Did a quick lunchtime test using Abbey Predator Ultra gas on 0.28s. Ambient temperature was 22c/23c. Using a fresh mag partly full and shooting off 30 rounds the high was 314fps (1.28 joules and the low 299fps (1.16 joules). For 0.28’s the acceptable power is 295fps. I’ll say it again... the recoil on the MWS is something else! P.S. Disclaimer... No Nuprol bbs were harmed and crushed intentionally under my boots during this time. Why coz I don’t have any 😂

My PTW shoots like a bloody laser...It's a 2008 model with full Tac mods and I have 10 genuine EMAGS which Tac replaced the innards with original Systema ones. I cannot fault the platform. It just works each and every time. Ok the followers in the mags are annoying (and can get lost sometimes) but they are needed to operate the bolt stop.... but hey that was cutting edge back in the day. What do I like about it, it's reliable...! There you go I've said it! And best of all I can change the power from 330 to 450fps within a matter of minutes. It's only ever let me down once and that's when the motor packed in and I sent it to Tac to get rewound. Anyway, back to the topic of MWS. This weekend I zero'd the T1 to about 50m. I figured that was the best compromise distance. I was using 0.28's and Abbey Ultra Predator gas. The temperature was about 23c and goodness me the power I was getting from the BCG felt like a missile. The recoil was phenomenal and the range equally impressive. I didn't have a chrono with me so I wasn't sure if it was shooting hot or not but that's besides the point. The MWS can take some serious welly. And you know what? It's fun to use. You get that better immersion that's for sure.

About bloody time too! And yes, we will let you into the pack now.... You know I'm gonna change my mobile number now or better still set up a divert to some Swedish, French, German porn line.. lalalalalalala

Christ! That's actually close to parallax free as you're gonna get... I wonder if it loses it's zero? I hazard to guess probably not... How they get away with it is anyone guess but they sure as heck do... . @rocketdogberthow do you take that video so well? Every time I try on my iPhone I totally balls it up lol

Which currency is he talking about here? 😂 Bless...

The cerakote is supposed to be quite resilient to scratching... has it been rubbing up against metal (metal on metal) against the mags on your plate carrier for example? Magpul slings will not scratch it as the furniture on them is plastic bar the actual clips...

Get yourself onto the MWS thread here. It’s a hive of knowledge.
