The Grange in Coventry is where I witnessed them

My weight! Hahahaha I move slow and twice as easy to shoot. My recent first airsoft game taught me this. Also running into cover and tripping over hurts....so running is another weakness

@Rogerborg yeah the place I went too, they got everyone to chrono with what they was using. Then random chrono'd 2 or 3 players at the end of each game.

@mightyjebus Thank you man, seems like a bit of money well spent. Good to know the FFCS is actually decent

@mightyjebus I just pulled the trigger on the longer version of this gun. The M904A. I will assume it has the same build quality that yours has.....assume or hope...either one haha. I thank you for all the descriptions

@Adolf Hamster your explanation covers it so well in the post. I feel like a lot new airsoft players would gain a ton of knowledge from that (like myself). It also gives you an understanding on what upgrades you will need and how they will affect the gun too as I am not brushed up on upgrades and parts. Feel like I just got a Airsoft + BB degree haha. Thank you

I never thought they'll travel further to be honest. In my head it's added weight or size to the same internal firing mechanism would have a detrimental effect to the distance the projectile would go. I'll give your linked post a read though. I have seen some of your posts and comments. You seem to know a fair deal and appreciate your reply That makes sense, I guess a universal method of testing makes sure no one misunderstands or tries to find grey areas etc.

Does most site only allow you to chrono with 1 size BB then? Only asking because the site I played would chrono you for your preferred choice and re chrono if you wanted a change. I have only had the 1 skirmish game so sorry if this is common knowledge.

Appreciate the replies, they all make perfect sense too. I guess there isnt really a wrong answer it. @AK47frizzle full auto buck shot sounds devastating haha

I was on Patrol Base looking for a gun to buy. (I did buy one ) but I came across a common theme on their specifications for the guns I was viewing. So I am not sure how consistent this is with their shop but it brought a question to my mind. Why do they test their guns with 0.20 BBs and give the statistical data on the gun based on this, but then say they recommend a 0.25? Would it not make sense to use what you would recommend? or give the data of both BBs? I did try and find this question in the forums but nothing come up so thought ill ask it myself.

@Nick G Sorry its been a while to reply. However, I have now played my first skirmish and loved it. I can see why single fire or burst fire is more appreciated over the full auto. I have decided to spray all mine tan now to match the attachments. I just bought a new gun though, more of an m4 platform for ease of life I guess. Just got the Double Eagle m904a Honey Badger. The Falcon Fire Control System sounds like fun.

Just purchased this gun from Patrol Base for £200. Seems like it'll be a decent little shooter for the price. Anyone got one or used one? tried to find some videos of this model but can only find the shorter versions of the rifle. Also how is the Falcon Fire Control system? I am interested to see how responsive the binary trigger system is too. Still new to the airsoft sport. Got a CSI XR5 for my first gun. Its a decent gun but decided I wanted something a bit lighter and more m4 platform. Cheers for your time

@XP18 Hi Mark. It's all new to me too. Based around the same areas. I'll be going to the closest field to me, which would be The Grange in Coventry. I'm sure this is something I'll fall in love with, then become a money pit hahaha cant wait!

@Nick G This is mine now. A 4 round burst sound like it'll be fun. Do you not miss just pulling the trigger and letting off though?

@Asomodai Its my first airsoft gun, and I'm keen to try it out. Just got a CCCP 551 style holographic for it, had to get it in tan though. So I might get the Desert body kit for the xr5 some point in the future. Also I have seen a DMR build for it. Looks fantastic!

Thanks for all the replies and knowledge. I knew the fact that I had done nothing wrong and I have done everything I can to make sure of this. Again just sounded like it was a bit suspicious. I thought even if the gun is legal without two tone, if I had paid for the service, I think an email would of been a decent move. Again really happy I don't have a two tone gun and cant wait to play.

@Asomodai This is near enough how it was worded over the phone too me. I agree with you also, I would of believed anything that would fire the same pellets as a real fire arm would get the same treatment. I feel it shouldn't be a retailer to make that call but hey I got a none two tone gun before my UKARA so bonus right haha. I appreciate the reply back and thank you. @EDcase I just felt a bit off ordering my gun with two tone as that's the rules before UKARA and the gun turning up with out it. Then when I phoned the shop they just brushed it off. Personally I feel this should be mentioned on their website but I guess at least I'm not running around with a two tone gun haha. Thanks for the reply and thank you.

Today I bought my first airsoft rifle being the CSI XR5. I bought it with two tone as I do not have a UKARA or any other defence. I recieved the gun today with out the two tone and was a bit surprised. I decided to phone the shop and they told me this gun does not need two tone as it is not a proper RIF (or something along those lines) and that it is perfectly legal for me to have. I decided to message the grounds on where I will be playing and they told me although it's legal for me to have, it was illegal for the store to sell it me without two tone. I am now confused on where do I stand with the gun, I'm told I can use it where I will be playing but if I get pulled over by police and cant provide a UKARA they can also confiscate it. Did the store illegally sell me a none two tone gun?
