Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Cannonfodder replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
Where do I start? Maybe with they're rare because they were discontinued as they didn't sell well due to being crap and unreliable so good luck to anyone who wants spare parts or extra magazines. Or maybe that they were £100 new. Oh and they never had a bolt hold open so the crap repair makes no difference -
Welcome Have you played a game yet? If not then I suggest doing that as it'll give you an idea about what, if anything, needs doing. Also one of the best and often overlooked upgrades is to use good quality heavy weight ammo and properly setting your hop up. What site is this? Asking so I know to avoid it

I think @Chev Cheliosis right that they've gone. Their faceache page hasn't had anything posted since 2021 and that was just a repost. Before that there had been nothing since 2016. Also their website is now a vietnamese gambling site (including live cock fighting) @AnApeX you'll probably have to find a second hand one, good luck with that Edit: more googling shows they were bought out by cybergun

Are they still going? I haven't seen any of their guns for years. Although I did always like their adverts😉 If you're looking to buy new then you'll probably have to import it from a HK based shop

New to Airsoft - What Full Face to get?

One thing to bear in mind is that the paintball style masks make it nigh on impossible to use your sights without some sort of riser -
New to Airsoft - What Full Face to get?
Cannonfodder replied to WillMidz's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Not if it's taken 1 hit but I do replace them every couple of years or so as polycarbonate can degrade over time Fair enough, my point was about buying second hand -

Cannonfodder replied to WillMidz's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I'd be careful buying PPE from ebay. Unless it comes in the original packaging and unopened you won't know its history and whether it's taken a hit and is damaged -

Following the rule of ⅓ off the lowest retail price I'd say around £150 to £160 maximum

Help needed - Really want to start Airsoft BUT..
Cannonfodder replied to WillMidz's topic in General Discussion
Op doesn't have site membership and usually it's a tenner extra for the two tone paint job but PB had an offer where pink was free for valentines -
A quick look on Google shows quite a few people have tried it with varying degrees of success https://www.google.com/search?q=blackhawk+down+m773+airsoft&client=ms-android-samsung&sca_esv=5d466d0b992978df&sxsrf=AHTn8zoFkkyCkSI3GwjHYjXlYVNBO9Pb6Q:1740585189746&udm=2&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjBnL6P2eGLAxUBU0EAHRvcKEsQ7Al6BAgLEAM&biw=360&bih=616&dpr=2

Anyone else been scammed by Bespoke Airsoft?
Cannonfodder replied to Nothappy's topic in Places to Buy
Thanks for the details. As others have posted contact your bank or whoever you paid with and get them to issue a charge back and dont let it go till you have your money back. Don't worry about it we're a right bunch of misfits here. Strangely airsoft seems to attract those with a tism -
Before doing anything that could cause permanent damage try putting a rubber band over the end of the allen key for extra grip like this

New player looking for Acturus guns
Cannonfodder replied to Austen's topic in New Players & Arrivals
Definitely the right way to go. While it's more expensive it means you can get a better idea of what suits your playing style (eg a long rifle rather than a SMG/carbine) and if the site has different models for rentals you can try them to see what you prefer. Also you'll get a chance to see what others are using and talk to them about it, the hardest thing will be getting them to stop talking😁. They might even let you fire off a few shots if you ask nicely. For your nearest site try here https://playairsoft.uk/ Out of the three you listed I'd go for either of the Specna arms. While the cyma 5xx range will perform well enough to be used in game the plastic body is far lower quality and breaks way easier. When mine went it was several parts and was cheaper replace the whole thing Unless you're playing cqb don't bother with .2g bbs. As others have posted .28g is the lightest you should consider. Just remember that your max fps will drop as the bb weight goes up. This is why sites should be talking in joules not fps for their limits but that's a whole different topic suitable for it's own thread. As for how much ammo to carry, that's down to personal preference as it depends how trigger happy you are and how much extra stuff you want to carry. I tend to start woodland games with 800 to 1000 rounds on me but I tend to only use roughly half per game, I figure it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I didn't see if it's already been asked and answered but have you also budgeted for the extra stuff like eye protection and spare batteries? -
New player looking for Acturus guns
Cannonfodder replied to Austen's topic in New Players & Arrivals
When comparing similarly priced models from the same brand then the differences are only really cosmetic. As for fps, while 310 may seem quite low it really isn't and besides that higher fps doesn't equal better performance. Ammo weight and a correctly set hop up have far more influence on performance. Just look at Tokyo Mauri guns, they come out of the box doing 280 fps but will happily out range many other brands with higher muzzle energy. Another reason not to chase fps limits is that if the site chrono puts you over then you won't be able to use it Evil are a US based shop. Any "review" by someone saying that they're admitting it's more of a paid advert rather than a review -

I wouldn't trust the 99% ofairsoft youtubers to be able to tie their own shoelaces, let alone give an honest and unbiased review. Many of them are sponsored and it's not in their interests to give a bad review -
I just received this email I can't really say I'm surprised. I stopped going there years ago as there seemed to be bugger all in terms of news etc

Welcome Lol. There's more chance of a politician keeping an election promise As others have posted, there's loads of options for an AR15 in your price range so rather than getting 20 different recommendations you're probably better off deciding what you like the look of and asking about those particular make and model -

True but £80 is still double what it's worth -
