[THE TM MWS thread]

Rifle has the OG TM hop rubber, but less than 1,000 rounds through it. Honestly, it's really annoying me because I know how awesome it should be

[THE TM MWS thread]

After a break from airsoft of several months (not planned, just life happening) I finally got to the range yesterday.

 

I took all my AEGs and my two MWS. Thankfully, the AEGs were all fully functioning, so when it had warmed up a bit, I started with the MWS.

 

I'd forgotten just how much fun they are. My old faithful short URG-I build was great, pinging .3s out to the end of the range snappily, and with a good degree of accuracy. All the TM and GM mags were still gas-tight and I was grinning like a twat, blatting away.

 

Then it came to the more troublesome long boi build. This fucker is still so inconsistent. Range is absolutely fine, but without shifting POA, shots are still going left, right and skyward. Looking down the barrel, the hop looks to be sitting straight, so I'm at a bit of a loss. 

 

Any thoughts?

This one?

The ASG green label Ultrair is 135psi

[Airsoft toolbox ideas]

If it can't be fixed with cable ties or tape, do it at home. You paid to shoot people, not piss around opening a gearbox.

[THE TM MWS thread]

That's the wisest way IMHO. 

 

All the stock parts you listed are great. If you can fi d TM nozzles in stock, you could pick a couple up.

 

GM parts are, in my experience anyway, generally good, but play better with other GM parts, particularly in the BCG etc. 

 

Avoid Angry Gun internals if you can, but you've got the parts most prone to breaking, so run and enjoy it 👍

[GBBR thoughts...]

I use a TM XL speedloader with the built-in pistol adapter, with works a treat with MWS mags. I also use an Odin for AEG M4 mags.

 

I do have the AirTac MWS adapter for the Odin, but still favour the TM loader.

 

I imagine it'd work with VFC mags too, using the pistol adapter.

[Do you guys keep an aeg as backup?]

I think we can all agree, like with so many things airsoft-related, it's completely subjective.

 

I love my GBBRs. I love my NGRS. I play pretty similarly with both (I don't full auto, just a 3rd burst) and I enjoy both equally. The AEG improves my odds of hitting someone, purely due to increased ammo count. Even a well-aimed, considered shot can disappear into the wilderness due to airsoft ballistics being crap.

 

Bottom line, back-ups are a very good idea.

[GBBR thoughts...]

Stock answer will be an MWS, and from personal experience, they are superb with lots of third party support. If you're after a MK18, I'd be tempted to buy the cheaper CQB-R and adding your own externals, purely down to the barrel nut issue. Having said that, there are a few options for  barrel nut tools now.

 

I think you're right on the SCAR front, that you're limited to WE. Can't comment on their GBBRs, but I have to say I've had a few pistols, and they've all been fine. 

 

I'm really interested by the increased range that VFC are putting out, or releasing next year, so that may be worth a look. I know they seem to have had some QC issues in the past, but from what I can gather, the current generation are much better.  They also have the official HK licence...

Looking for a 7inch inner barrels would a hi-CAPA  or MP7 barrels be okay or ae they cut different to a normal MWS barrel?

 

I'm pretty sure that as long as it's a GBB spec barrel, you're good. Happy to be corrected. 

[What are you're rig/vest recommendations]

Plate carrier-wise a Warrior LPC and dangler, with Esstac 5.56 placard and Platatac mag pouches. I'm thinking of getting an Agilite PC in the new year.

 

Chest rigs, I use a Platatac Peacekeeper Mk5, which has so much space it's ridiculous, and I also have a TMC Spiritus clone with various inserts, and a Chicom, because, well, everyone should have one 😂

I went looking in every Japan store, impossible to find any P-mag sadly 😔😔

 

maybe if anyone knows a good sling mount for the handguard, and a ref for a decent (but not 200€) ngal replica maybe

 

I also happen to have an Odin Speedloader

I cant seem to find any adapter online available for MWS, but I’m sure I’ve seen some 

does one know if it’s something I can buy ?

For P-mags, try WGC Shop or JK Army. 

 

If the TM handguard has a QD point, just get a decent QD attachment (Magpul, BFG etc), if not, a Magpul M-LOK mount will sort you out.

 

I have a WADSN Ngal clone that's decent enough

 

[THE TM MWS thread]

Internally, just a new hop-up nub to lift heavier ammo. SixG brass nub, BavTac MHN and Jaeger Titan nub are all decent in my experience. 

 

Externally, just go with what you like. Loads of people (myself included) went for the URG-I look, but you've completed it, so accessorise as you see fit.

 

Guns Modify P-mags are also decent if you want that look.

@LzChase You attach to the outboard side of your stock right at the back, then inboard on the handguard wherever suits but generally about as far forward as possible; then route the sling over your dominant shoulder and under your off-side arm pit.

Yep, this is exactly how I run my slings. I have a couple of Blue Force Gear VCAS and a Ferro Slingster. The Vickers slings are superb and ones I use most. The Slingster is good too, but I prefer the adjustment of the BFG as it seems more rugged.

 

Three-point slings just seem outdated, and the issued SA80 slings are dogshit. Fucking around trying to clip them back up was an utter nause, especially in the rain. 

[Which bbs?]

I use mainly bios now, and the ASG Open Blasters are always good. 

 

Big fan of Geoffs too. I've got some Warhead bios but not tried yet, and still have a bunch of .3 Devil Blasters to use, which, again, are decent.

 

Anyone tried Rebel Precision BBs?

I think ASG are doing bios but I’ve never seen them anywhere in the shops. 

Fire Support, Defcon, Bullseye Country Sport and PB are all places that I've bought Open Blasters from

At least we are all united under the opinion he is a hateful POS doing the hobby more harm than good. 

 

 

 

Absolutely right. To me, airsoft is about a bunch of (mostly) grown-ups playing dress-up and running around like toddlers on tartrazine, shooting each other and having a bloody good laugh at ourselves.

 

I like seeing new players at site get bitten by the bug, learning off the experienced heads, showing off guns and gear, and generally being huge nerds. I don't see us as any different to model railway enthusiasts, stamp collectors or any other hobby that has a passionate, niche following.

 

Boasting about hurting people, especially "noobs," generating drama where there is none or generally just being an obnoxious tit does nothing to take the hobby forward.

The whole camp stank of shit & relgex in equal measure.

As a podgy forner-matelot, this rings true of HMS Raleigh, combined with the smell of washing powder near the laundry block.

 

Then there's ships, that have a combined smell of diesel, shit, puke, sweat and stale jizz...and that's just from the chefs 

[MP7's ... Why so many for sale?]

I sold my TM version earlier this year, for no other reason than not skirmishing it in a year plus of having it. 

 

My experience is limited to the TM version only, but I thought it a fantastic platform. It hopped .3s out of the box with no issue, and with more power than my MWS. Range was good enough for a woodland primary and part of me is regretting offloading it, especially as I had a bunch of spare mags and TM original replacement parts.

 

For info, some of the Hong Kong sites have them for sale for less than £200.

Only time I search Airsoft related on YouTube is comparing reviews before I put my hand in my pocket. 

Similarly, my YouTubing for airsoft is generally around finding 'How to' clips for when I inevitably cock something up. 

 

My go-to channels are Ollie Talks Airsoft, because he presents loads of useful information for the good of the GBB community, in a similar vein, @Bada Bing, because he's an OG GBBR-freak, making very well produced content for like-minded people (not shilling for dogshit companies) and AATV. Shame that Tom doesn't put much new content out anymore, but understandable. Also been clocking a lot of Jaeger Precision's MWS videos...but not the ones where he's building wanker-guns for the subject of this thread. 

 

Gameplay videos are just utter shite IMHO. The most successful channels are hosted by utter twats (we've established KM and NN as leaders in the field of whining-bitches-posing-as-alphas) while the lesser ones look like they've been filmed through a potato by people who don't understand that editing is a crucial part of filming. Just get out there and play.

Ooh, every time I see an MP5K my 90s' action movie nostalgia kicks in and I want to get one!

Don't sell your purchase short, Dan.  Sometimes it's the simple things that make a massive difference, right?! And this insert, as you said, really does 🤙

[What does everyone really think of kickingmustang]

Waaaaay back when I was starting out, I used to watch his videos and think "Christ, he's a really good player, tactically, and he's a deadly shot."

 

As time wore on, I've realised that he is the absolute worst kind of click-baity YouTube bully who only wants to hurt people for content, and is the reason so many people think airaoft is full of walting wankers. That it emerged that he's a racist piece of shit as well is absolutely in character for him.

 

I also can't stand that rat-faced cunt-rag Names Nicco, who is always hanging out the back of KM and copies his click-bait video titles, while being an absolutely awful player who needs a mag dump to hit anyone. Utter prick.
