The G&G UMG, yay or nay? What are your experiences with this UMP and are there any alternatives from other brands worth picking up?
Any guidence would be grand!
-
Do you like the look of it ? that’s the real question , if yes you do then get it , if not that sold on it then don’t . As you will often read on this forum unless you spend some serious beer tokens near ALL the AEG’s in a particular price range are much of a muchness . After playing for waaaaaayyyyy too long I’ve come to the conclusion if a gun is from one of the ‘main Airsoft manufacturers’ then the deciding factor are the aesthetics of the gun and not it’s possible performance as basically they’ll all perform the same . 👍

Having got the original G&G UMG, the plastic certainly feels more sturdy than the Umerex's i poked at on a site that used them for rentals. But for the price difference either will do ya fine. Mine did need the hop unit modding though, as the slider was so lose it would undo itself. Simple fix, a washer put under the bolt that holds it fixed it fine, and it hops 0.28's with ease stock.

Does anyone here have prior experience with ordering from Target-Softair.com?
Looking for UK links for this specific gun but can't seem to find 'em.

Yeah, it's pretty funky. So I can fire the airsoft gun once and the hammer goes back, as it normally should but then the trigger stays about half way after that, in which trying to repeat fire doesn't send the hammer going back (so nothing happens). It's really odd, I want to send it to a tech to have a look at but I'm unsure who to send it to. -
I've never been the biggest fan of the Colt 1911 but the AM .45 by Tokyo Marui is something else and for an airsoft gun, this looks and feels great. NGL though, I still want the pink version of this and that pink P90 too...

When it comes to upgrading an airsoft gun, where do you start?
I've got a WE WE712 that's stock at the moment but I'd like to keep it in top tip shape and performance.
What should I be looking for about replacing?

So basic rule of thumb, don't mess around with your collection unless it's broken? I'm interested in learning more about upgrading but unsure where to begin and what's what with each different airsoft gun.
And to answer your question Rogerborg, yes! But not as many times as I'd like. Getting more into collecting than playing.
-
Generally speaking the very first upgrade recommendations are the hop rubber and barrel usually (most of the cases depending on the gun of course)
But only if you're extremely unhappy with the stock performance and have a good confirmation of certain products that will 100% work and being truly an upgrade

This might be a silly question, as I'm reading conflicting threads but does the UK have a national airsoft FPS limit?
Looking to pick up a Real Sword AK but would the FPS downgrade to 350FPS be required? Any guidence would be grand, thanks.

Flawless answer.
A couple of notes. First, sellers shouldn't be flogging these things in the UK without downgrading the power. However, as a curious legal quirk, you're the one committing the offence by buying a Section 5 prohibited firearm, not them for selling it. So, yes, get it downgraded, something that will already have been done to even the cheapest CYMAs.
Second, I'm getting the distinct impression that you don't actually play airsoft, and so I'm rather expecting a followup question along the lines of "What's the best way to re-activate a de-activated AK? For research purposes."

Hi there people. Sorry for what might be a silly question but I've got a WE-Tech Russian PMM that's got a bit of a fudged up trigger (I can fire once but once the trigger is pulled, it gets a bit stuck). I've opened it up myself and can't seem to pin point the issue, where or who can I go to in London in order to have this taken a look at? Do repair places also offer upgrade solutions as well? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to anything to do with upgrading airsoft guns and repairing them as well. So any guidence would be grand.
-
So, Tokyo Marui just unvealed their brand new Colt Single Action Army on Twitter.
When it comes to pre-ordering their new guns in the UK, what's the best website to use?
-
All the guns are completely clean! So would the slide be the only place that's needs some dry lube or should be looking elsewhere as well? Also, is keeping every magazine filled with gas safe?
-
Hey there people. Do forgive me for the rather noobish question but when it comes to maintaining pistols, what are some do's and dont's? A few of them need a bit of lubing up but I'm unsure how to proceed and yes, I wish I could have formulated that sentence better! Also, should I keep every magazine I have filled with gas or no? If there are any guides or videos worth checking out, I'd love to watch them! Also, which lubrication is best to use for airsoft guns and which parts need to be lubricated to keep weapons working well? Any help would be fantastic, thanks everyone!
-
London peeps! Since lockdown and most recently, how have you been playing airsoft?
I'm still looking to get into the game proper but unsure what are the best places within London.
Any stories/suggestions would be grand.

Heya people. Sorry for what could be a dumb question but is G&G a decent brand?
Looking at their UMP 45 and their SG552, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts to share.
As I've not used one of their weapons before.

TM has a reputation of being overpriced af here, mostly because people are so fucking obsessed with "FuLl MeTaL" guns.
They think a pot metal receiver is better than a polymer one and it'll give them 50 extra metres of range.
So a TM Hi-Cycle M4 CRW that will most likely outlast your car is shit (even though it pumps out a retarded ROF on a 7.4) but a -insert truly overpriced brand here- that shits the bed on its first game is good!
Logik, I know..
I'll be honest, if I didn't like tinkering with stuff I would have bought a TM CRW and swapped the hop rubber for a ML (yes I'm a ML fanboy) and called it a day.
I like tinkering so I built my own out of a specna

So, anyone else in the same boat of wanting to collect more than play? Handguns are a particular favourite of mine and I'm currently on the hunt for a Makarov and a Walther PPK (cheers Bond).
