Can you take some pics of the install? Any thoughts on the installation would also be helpful.... ta

Dude has the best haircut like ever too 😂

Marui’s only market is technically Japan. The fact that we are able to get Marui’s outside of Japan Is down to certain distributors getting them out of the country and Marui Turing a blind eye. There are no official channels for external distribution outside of Japan. The Japanese market is seemingly big enough to sustain Marui and bizarrely the brand I’ve heard is actually ‘looked’ after very well by the Japanese government. Make of that what you will. Ever thought why it’s so difficult to get Marui parts? The lack of a distribution model simply. Ever thought why only limited stock of Marui trickles into the UK? Simples. The lack of distribution outside of Japan. See where I’m going with this? . Oh here’s the link to the thread about the new AKM. Well it’s not so new now...

One day when I win the lotto I'll buy the $1500 CAG 416 kit for my MWS... until then I'll keep my fingers crossed for a native Marui 416 MWS release...

The more I look at the MK16 the more I’m not feeling it. I actually prefer the classic MK18 truth be told. I’m trying to like it but I just don’t. The SMR Geissele rail on the 416 I do like but the URG-I? Nope. Nada. Looks aside, damn that hop rubber has had a bartering. What ammo have you been using in it? And using black gas? What power were you getting ?

What in God’s name is that? In fact can you show it mounted as I’m getting too old to figure out how it goes. Wait that sounds all wrong but sounded right in my head? 🤪 Edit. Hold on I didn’t read the rest of the thread. Duh 🤦🏻♂️ -

Nothing... move along nothing to see... these are not the droids you're looking for..... -
The biggest drawback with a Titan is the lack of trigger feel... It's akin to driving a performance car and not feeling the road. Having all those assistance aids makes the experience less involving.... I remember conversations with established RECOIL techs regarding installing a Mosfet snd he's view was the BTC Spectre was better as you didn't lose that trigger feeling... But yes, this does look rather interesting... I've put an order for a Titan on hold coz of this news... I'm eager to see what people think of this unit once it's available over here..

I get that with BBs it’s not an exact science. And yes the quality of the plastic and how the bb is created has an affect for sure. What works with one gun may not necessarily work with another. I was talking to a mate who uses Green Devils coz his site dictates their use as mandatory. This brand of BB worked fine in a PTW and a MWS yet in a GBLS it got smashed to bits. Go figure. You’d think the MWS being a GBBR would have been the one that destroyed it. I’ll be trying the 0.3 G&Gs in the MWS and PTW and see how they fair when we start playing again. I’ve used 0.3 Geoffs and they seem fine. I’ve not gone with a higher weight unless it’s with my DMR then it’s 0.4 Geoffs. I’m actually eager to see what the MK23 does with 0.4’s too.

I’m not gonna mention the Marui magic dust. It’s special. We all know that. I wonder how they actually do that? Any thoughts? Anyone? I mean what do I know about Marui’s anyway? Funny they do make thr awesome MK23 pistol. Coincidence? Naaaah it’s magic. 🤫 -

My barrel is 8.5inches and has a wide girth. The girth probably explains why I can never shoot on target. Damn. 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll stick to storming the Tantive IV -
Guys looks like we have entered the Matrix with this one. How many for sale 🤷🏻♂️ Thing about BBs is the OEMs are all hush hush. People say Geoffs are the best. Well that’s what I’ve heard so that’s what I believe. But are they? Are they really the best? I mean Geoffs don’t manufacture right? They just repackage from an OEM right? Or do they actually manufacture? I’ve heard BLS are superb too. Yet don’t see many places selling them? Are they an OEM? Some people say Lomgbow are awesome too. Again the same questions. All these three brands are more expensive than the average brand so do we assume they are more superior in quality. You get what you pay for? Ok we know Nuprol are bollocks yet they cost more than similar quality brands.

Pick one up. You can’t fault it. It does what it says on the tin and it looks good too. Plus it’s got a Magpul spec QD point on both sides. You can’t fault that. -
Looks like a new optical mozzie has just been released from Jefftron. This will be interesting. . https://www.jefftron.net/leviathan/leviathan-ngrs-to-stock?fbclid=IwAR3iu1jimGnOUilfOMwktW0EDSZu-HA-rs4kcBNz3zhpuE9KtZHcZF4md4Y

Now if Marui releases a MP5 MWS... well hello baby! Could that even be possible? Naaaah what planet do you live on? 😂
-
More like the stuff of nightmares than dreams 🤣 Right, someone find a post about an overpriced TM recoil that we can all bitch about.... anyone.... lol
-
The thing about G&G's is that you can't seem to get heavier ammo than 0.3's... I bagged the last three packs of 0.3g from FS and if you want any more 0.3's you have to get them from Europe and we all know what a ball ache that is at the moment. 0.28's you can get easily but anything heavier >>> nope, nada, nein! Macks is designated as a BB bitch fest tonight it seems lol...
-
Looking good there fellas! The L119A2 is all the rage at the moment.. well that and the the Mk18 still.... although anything CAG seems to be in too but ya' need some serious mulla to drop on HAO to achieve that Seal Team look. But who needs USSF when we can go UKSF.. the L119A2 just looks so much more cooler! Amen
-
Exactly. Makes you wonder what they use over in the states where the FPS limits are much higher. Anyway, I only use Geoffs and G&G’s. Fire support said use G&Gs in the MWS as they are ‘ard as nails designed to perform with higher power and able to withstand the brutality of GBBRs
-
Oh I did... believe you me...... I shot him on full auto even though he was on my side but he didn't realise it was me...🤣

Well normally I use Geoffs which I forgot to pack with me that day (or they could have been at the bottom of my kit bag and I was in a hurry to swap over RIFS from the first game to the second semi-only game).... I mean the RZR's were ok with my recoils and figured I'd try them in the MWS as my speed loaders were already primed with the RZR's...It wasn't until an hr into the game with my MWS and about 4 mags later that one shattered... Before then I was told they were fine to use even in a MWS..... Boy oh boy wasn't that a mistake! And the rest is history... I mean in a recoil mag, they should be fine and this particular one is brand spanking new and still stock! I was merely testing the stock range (which is a novelty to me lol) to see how it performs on 0.28's.... I was clearly not expecting one to split in half in the damn mag, that's for sure...... really bollocks! p.s. how many times have I said bollocks in this thread already? 🤣🤣 Yeah I know, it was a combination of bad advice from a mate of mine saying RZR's would be fine in a recoil as that's all he ever ran with and me not digging deep into my kit bag to find my Geoffs... hey ho.. Bollocks yeah?
-
Oh Goodness me that’s so bollocks for the retailer to say that. A bb should easily withstand 350fps, hell it should stand up 500 FPS.
-
If you look at how it split in half you can see a gaping hole in the middle and a fair amount of pitting. No wonder my MWS went tits up when I used these last Oct time. What’s bizarre is I’ve seen a few chopped bbs out of this batch and this one is the first time I’m seen one shatter in half in a magazine. Oh I only loaded 40 and this was number 4 at the bottom. Very poor quality. You could probably tell I was a bit miffed from my post lol. It’s not like me at all to use such strong language on a forum
