A quick Google search shows these go for £260 new so if it was in good condition and wasn't a repainted 2 tone the 70% rule of thumb would put the asking price at £189. Unfortunately though with the issues already mentioned that's going to knock it down further so is say £130 sounds about right

I second the above. When I first started I used a hard gun case and found it attracted too much attention, usually from pissed up idiots thinking they're funny and original asking "what you got in there, a machine gun?". Now I use one of these. It may not be as subtle as a sports bag but it doesn't scream gun as much as a hard case. For example my neighbor thought it was fishing gear when he first saw me coming home from a gameday.

I take it you're stuck using public transport, like me. I've found this site useful for getting to sites 0n public transport. https://www.traveline.info/ Also tbh 30 minutes walk from a station isn't bad, I've done double that in the past. Last, I hope it doesn't ned to be said but when using public transport make sure the guns stay hidden and unloaded with mags stored in a separate pocket

Latest from airsoft world's faceache page Update to G&G LevAR situation: G&G has confirmed there is a problem with the pistol grip design and has tested and replicated the same failure at G&G HQ with the 15" LevAR. They are working on a solution as I type which will rapidly be deployed to all current owners and dealers. For those of you that have not followed yesterdays post, we confirm that ONLY the 15" version has failed in this way. The additional stress forces of the stock being attached to the grip (and possibly the longer upper receiver) is what is causing the grip to crack at the point where the bolt secures the grip to the lower receiver. If the rifle is gassed, the gas pressure then expands the crack, ending in an explosive breakage. In other words, the grip blows off the receiver - pardon the expression. So don't sweat it guys and gals, these things do happen on occasion and in this case, it's being approached with a rapid solution. The positive side of this incident is this was discovered and reported literally hours before the main shipments left the G&G factory, so we have helped to avoid a massive global recall situation, which would have taken far longer to resolve and incurred huge costs. Vive La LevAR! Or whatever 😛 Hmmm, I feel an airsoft patch coming...

Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Cannonfodder replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
What an absolute bellend. "The extra money on top of the 400 is to cover paypal fee cost AND delivery" Bollocks are paypal fees and delivery costs that high. G&S fees are 2.9% maximum which would be £13.05 so unless postage is £36.95 they're definitely taking the piss. This is before we get to the known fault discussed here https://airsoft-forums.uk/topic/60067-gg-levar-15/ But here we have the reason for the shitty attitude, small man syndrome "I'm only selling because it's a bit too big/long and heavy for me as I'm 4ft9, short arms etc" -
should i upgrade my AEG or should i buy a tm mp7
Cannonfodder replied to shatis's topic in General Discussion
To add to my earlier post, the MP7 could be used in a outdoors game but you would need to adjust your playing style to suit. With a gbb you're carrying less ammo (1 M4 high cap is the equivalent capacity of 6 MP7 mags) so you need to pick your shots and avoid getting bogged down exchanging fire with someone who can just hose the area. The times I've done it I found I was most effective staying away from the main battles and using hit and run tactics to attack from unexpected places -
Whats the general rule of thumb when it comes to fps/J?
Cannonfodder replied to Yashy's topic in General Help
There's no universal power limit for all cqb sites but they're all (at least the ones I've played at) between 330 and 350 fps (with a .2) and many have a weight limit, usually .25 but some go up to .28. As with most things it's best to check with the specific site you're going to play at Unfortunately there's no such thing as "one gun to rule them all" and using the same gun for cqb and outdoors will usually end in making compromises between the two. For cqb I often don't bother taking a rifle. I find that no full auto being allowed takes away a big advantage AEGs have and the smaller size of a pistol helps when moving through tight spaces. The pistol (or any gbb) also has the advantage of a faster trigger response, something which is invaluable when targets may only present themselves for fractions of a second -
should i upgrade my AEG or should i buy a tm mp7
Cannonfodder replied to shatis's topic in General Discussion
Personal preferences aside I'd say it depends on what you're wanting from the rif. Do you want something which will allow you to put loads of plastic down range and go to to toe against other AEGs in a firefight, or something which is more of a fun gun despite it's limitations? If the former then go for the AEG, if the latter then the MP7. Of course this doesn't take into account the sort of site you play at. If you mainly play cqb then I'd definitely go for the MP7 as the lower magazine capacity isn't such an issue and the shorter length makes moving in tight spaces far easier -
Waco’s guide to field sustainment
Cannonfodder replied to The Waco Kid's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Personally I find 99% of the "proper" survival shows unwatchable too. Yes these guys know their stuff but the way they hype up the danger. For example making out they're days walk from anywhere, whereas in reality they're less than a couple of miles from civilisation -
Waco’s guide to field sustainment
Cannonfodder replied to The Waco Kid's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
This is why I hate those survival shows, the people on them are incompetent attention seekers who struggle if tesco is shut for a day. Take the dippy moo complaining about the effects of dehydration, at least lay down in the shade rather than direct sunlight -

Average price for Specna Arms SA-E23
Cannonfodder replied to Biggie-Banana264's topic in Electric Guns
This. When I worked for asda I was told a happy customer will tell 1 person while an unhappy customer will tell 10. Also unfortunately a lot of the information given is what the person heard from their mate's cousin's neighbour's uncle and are blindly repeating it without knowing how true it is -
Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website
Cannonfodder replied to Bo B's topic in General Discussion
Considering you don't know what this platform will offer, whether it's anything different or the same as what's already out there, makes this whole idea look like you don't have a clue about what you' want this new platf, hence the reason you dont have people lining up to pat you on the back and tell you what a great job you're doing. Oh, and loose the passive aggressive attitude. It just makes you come across as a petulant child who can't stand being told no -
If you're cocking it, pulling the trigger and then cocking it again and a bb comes out then you're loading a second bb into the chamber, pushing the first bb past the hop up where it's free to roll out the muzzle

New player looking for a group to join near Oxford
Cannonfodder replied to mbus's topic in New Players & Arrivals
Welcome. As Rogerborg posted, don't worry about turning up on your own. You'd be surprised how many people do. If you're looking for a site have a look at https://playairsoft.uk/ -
Average price for Specna Arms SA-E23
Cannonfodder replied to Biggie-Banana264's topic in Electric Guns
This. Buying second hand significantly increases the chance that the gun will need work and I'm guessing that as @Biggie-Banana264 is new to the game he isn't going to know how to do said work. Buying new from a shop may cost more but if the gun does turn out to be a dud you can send it back -
As I understand it many years ago bios had a nasty reputation for swelling and cracking, particularly in damp conditions, ruining guns. However I've played at a few bio bb only sites over the past few years and fired thousands of them with no problems

Looking for beta testers for a new airsoft social website
Cannonfodder replied to Bo B's topic in General Discussion
Good. It makes searching for info on a topic easier and I don't have to search through a load of posts which are just attention seeking bellends trying to get likes and followers. Nope. You can private message and tag forum members in posts There's already a good website (https://playairsoft.uk/) which has a good list of sites nationwide. As for sites they can have their own section of the forum where they cam make announcements etc. Whether or not they choose to use them is down to them and as most people who run sites don't do it as a main income, I can seem why they wouldn't want the hassle of another social media platform to manage In your opinion and opinions are like arseholes..... It doesn't. Tbh this sounds like a you problem and want to be spoon fed People believe the earth is flat and vaccines cause autism but it doesn't make them true. Do you have any data or evidence for this demand? -

Cannonfodder replied to Bo B's topic in General Discussion
Is there a demand for anything new though? If so then one of the previous ideas would've come to fruition. What will your platform offer that others don't? -

Great, another social media app which nobody asked for. I can see how this is going to go Seriously though, every few years someone suggests this and every time bugger all happens
