What? AEG's die or last for ages. Only rule for me is never buy a heavily upgraded 2nd hand gunless you plan to instantly open it and un-funk some "experts" work. Skill is great and all.... half decent skills with extra range and consistency, is even better. Fortunately for me... I'm fucking amazing and also have really meta builds. *now rub my nipples*

OP. The best thing you can do is get a Cyma or Specna arms for as cheap as possible or even better second hand. Then send that to a tech with a known rep and be prepared to wait to send it to one that is busy for good reason. You will end up with a better build, for less money then buying a premium TM. These days you would want to get the gearbox short stroked anyway. So its going to need to see some love at somepoint. You may as well start that process as early as possible.

£60-70 at best I would say. That kit new is circa £100 and that the only part of the build that will interest most people.

Set your range up at the end of the garden and shoot from the kitchen.

Depends on the power and the hop of the DMR. My MWS with a stock rubber and Six6 will hop a .45 and it will go straight and true. That was tested at 450fps ( on .2s ) Higher the FPS and better the hop = Heavier weight BB ( Geoffs ) you can run. This is why snipers running 460-470 fps ( on .2s ) run 0.4 and up. Less affected by nature and holds its energy for a longer distance.

Because the new wave of Airsofters are entitled sissy girly boys. This is why more and more sites run semi only in cqb. Because of players QQ’ing, that they got lit up. So sad. bunch of soft sooks! man up or put on a full face and body armour.

I see this far to often at games and someone needs to speak out. To guide the youth of tomorrow. Here is a simple handy guide Wrong Very Wrong Better Closer Warmer That's it, That's it!

Honestly, i would recommend getting a set of protective glasses as well. Even with a cap, the cheaper end goggles are notorious for mist.

Op' there have been worse ideas on this forum. I mean, some people still try to defend speedsofting

1) You ain't that big 2) You will be blind 30 seconds into the first game. Ditch the helmet I am relatively healthy and sweat is my biggest concern in a game. Even with my over priced shooting glasses. They get misty and dripping in sweat very quickly. Antifog wipes help but water is water.

Its really not worth the effort. I could cheat almost any chrono and carry on my merry way with a hot gun. Ammo weight lie, quick spring swap, PTW cylinder change, hop fiddle, NPAS adjust or gas change. Worse still, avoid the chrono completely or put a gun through and change to a hot gun in the second game. VERY few sites check at all beyond the morning, "Please go chrono. Here is a little tag" dance. Best way is do your check in the morning, to weed out any newbies who have rocked up with a new gun that is hot out the box. Then random in game chrono. Both examples using site provided ammo. Do that and then FPS or Joules are a moot point. ( Joule creep aside but thats really only for Gas and Snipers ) Again, site provided .2s and .5s for situation would mitigate this as best it could. Outside of that people will lie and cheat for an edge or because they are a little cunty.

Breathes in .... Probably illegal - But no one cares. Most things we do to our toy guys break a law in some way - But no one cares. Do what you want with your toy gun, just don't do it in front of a cop or social media - No one will care. Don't be a cunt with it - We will care and doomy doomy doom will find you!

Pffft.. Stop being such a normie.. Eye pro is for squares!

Decent Plate Carrier for Milsim feels and looks. Decent Haley style chest rig for everything else. I run my plate carrier because of its real estate but I prefer to run stripped down with my chest rig. Which carries 80% of what i need and i can deal with that.

Firstly are you using 11.1s or 7.4s? You need 11.1s and you can get ones that fit in the standard grip. My Vector needed a cut down M120 to get to 350 fps. It sounds to me something is struggling. Even though its new, that means nothing in terms of how well it was put together. Take the box apart. Check for missing teeth, bad shimming, over grease etc. I had a Vector and its was really snappy in stock form with an 11.1. So while this will be obvious, you have an issue somewhere and you are going to need to get into it to work out what. Also the vector has propriety parts. So yeah... This could be fun for you. That said, it might be that you are feathering your trigger faster than the gun can actually work. That being the case, a short stroked or dsg gearbox is your future.

Expectation Reality

I am going to be brutally honest. Do not expect much. In my personal opinion. Airsoft at night, unless you have gucci nods. It's shit. Yeah you can sneak around for a bit and its fun enough if you are in a urban site that is actually well lit. So you can use the new shadows to go ninja. On sites where its just dark and you have to move by torch. Its generally really shit. In woodland, meh you will spend more time tripping over stuff or walking into shit than actually shooting. THEN when you do actually try and shoot something. You cannot tell what is hitting what, unless you want tracers. You will think you hit someone, you will be sure of it. You will get frustrated and then head back to bed for an early rise the following day. Sorry.

Or go the other route. Go heavy, loaded plate carrier, belt line, helmet, back pack etc. Rock a support gun with extra ammo. Under your winter BDU's, wrap your entire body in clingfilm and really sweat out those calories.

No one is going to care if you are husky at an Airsoft game. Yes, you might get a few comments, but that's going to be the same in pretty much any situation you will find yourself in. Nothing can be done about that and needs to be risen above. As long as you get stuck in and take your hits, you will find new friends. Simple as that really. Side note, most of us are rocking dad bods anyway. We aren't all chizzled action heroes

Op, politely.... you built your T10 wrong. All upgraded snipers will perform the same based on the quality of the barrel, the quality of their hop and the consistency of the power.

Depends entirely what FPS your site allows. The sites i have used the DMR at are running 450fps on 2s. Which is mildly short of a bolty at 500fps. I have tried .32s and they are ok. I used .45s at 450fps and it went flat and straight of a scary distance. People say you need to up the bucking for 4+ but i've not had that with the stock TM and the SIX6 But everyone is different
