Looks like a G3 to me. Do you have a pic of the magazine?

I've been thinking about getting a relatively cheap M4 as a back up and I've seen this. I've never owned a king arms gun but as they're a brand which has been around for years I assume they're half decent https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/king-arms-m4-ris-sport-series-airsoft-gun/

No arguments there, I've no idea of the actual costs of setting up and running a site but I'm sure the cost of a chrono is minimal in comparison and any site owner who says they can't afford a chrono is obviously talking out of their arse (and would make me wonder what else they're bullshitting about)

Meh, another M4, only this time with a weird looking magazine making it even uglier If that's the case I wish they'd do airsoft versions of some of the less common guns around.* *Yes, I know they clone other stuff so they don't have to worry about R&D but I can dream

IIRC insurance can also be a limiting factor for the number of game days a site can run. Personally I'd prefer them not to be as in my experience it can often have a negative effect on the quality of the games they put on, either because the site owners are more interested in taking your money than putting on a decent gameday or the site layout suffers as they need to accommodate the other activities.

Maybe cheater is the wrong word but there are definitely some who see a player with a hpa set up and automatically assume the person is going to be fiddling with the regulator or over killing. Don't get me wrong, I've met quite a few dickheads with HPA guns but I've also met HPA players who are really stand up players. Imo the stigma comes from the fact that its easier for someone to act like a cunt with hpa than an aeg as turning an allen key or spanner doesn't involve the teching skills that building a similar performing aeg does This. As with many things in life, the problems are caused by the flesh coloured squishy bit

Hpa is quite common over here. You're right about hpa set ups being an easy route to getting a wankergun and that's probably why it has a bit of a bad rep. For example there's one person on here who seems to think hpa automatically equals cheater

I can't believe it's been 3 hours and nobody made an Airplane reference

The short answer to that is yes. The long answer is definitely yes. They're poorly made with crap QC, crap materials and have a habit of falling apart after a short time

I'll stick with my cut up pallet and scrap wood gun rack £250 for a pistol that doesn't work? Surely that's Mack's material

If it's capable of full auto at 1.5j then it wouldn't just be a wankergun, it'd be a section 5 firearm. I get where you're coming from though, the problem isn't the gun but the flesh coloured squishy bit attached to it. Unfortunately though while many sites will talk the talk about zero tolerance to cheats and cuntish behaviour, not so many actually walk the walk and deal with them, especially if the wanker in question is a regular Definitely. There are many ways to improve your game, whether it's trying out new tactics or improving your fieldcraft, without having to do upgrades to your gun I'd put the blame there on the site. The gun should've been chrono'd before being allowed onto the field. It's not about not liking to be shot but not liking to be shot more than necessary. It only takes 1 bb to get a hit so (assuming all are calling their hits) dumping 20+ shots into someone in half a second is just being a cunt.

Agreed. 0.86J is roughly 305fps with a .2g bb so definitely not safe for airsoft

Another great day at Ambush near cobham where I decided to take the SA-02 put for some fun. Performance wasn't the best but I'm putting a lot of that down to me being a crap shot. Fortunately I had my MP5K with me to act as back up. On the downside, there were a few who seemed to think hit taking was optional, but they were only a tiny minority and were dealt with by the staff. To me it's nice to see a site actually do something and boot cheaters rather than be all talk and no action.

Bit of a funny one that. A quick search for lacruise shows that they've been a member for a couple of years, but only have 4 posts, all of which are sales posts of which 3 were posted today. The bit that strikes me as odd though is that the new adverts all start with the phrase "Shit hit the fan work-wise, so need to get rid of a few things." If this is the case then why would they be buying up more kit? While there's nothing that is obviously dodgy there's enough to get my spidey senses tingling which is enough to make me ignore their messages

Fixed that That would involve effort on the part of the OP

Welcome to the forum I'll leave the tech stuff as I tend to struggle with anything which doesn't involve duct tape or a hammer That's because 99% of the players running these very high rof builds are trying to over compensate for something, whether that's a lack of skill or something more personal. Strangely they also often whine the loudest when on the receiving end. This. I left all the airsoft groups I was in on faceache as most of it was either bad advice or crappy youtube videos. Forums may be old, but the information tends to be of a higher quality and it's easier to search for so you don't get the same questions asked every other week

Probably. Either that or a Nigerian prince wanting to move money around

Definitely this. All the ones I've seen have the power of a mouse's fart and a toddler could throw a handful of bbs further. For me it's got to be those muzzle flash simulators. I don't think I've ever seen one that actually looks like a muzzle flash, rather than a cheap torch flicking on and off

Do you have any evidence to back this up, eg a receipt? This would help prove it's yours

Why did REM split up? The rest of the band weren't Michael's type

Welcome to both the forum and airsoft in general. If you are buying second hand for your first gun make sure you get to see and fire it before handing over any cash. Also make sure to check the Mack's thread first as this forum is pretty good for calling out people charging silly amounts. One thing that buying new gives you is the confidence that if something does go wrong you can take it back.

One thing I've just thought of. What are the gnus made of? For example the steel body of my E&L AK will take far more of a beating than the plastic body of my MP5K, so despite being significantly more expensive it's less likely to take significant damage so I'll feel more confident taking a fall (for example) with the AK
