The we big bird seems to have a fixed inner barrel altho not terribly well fixed. I added o rings to better locate it when in battery.
My KSC or kwa Glock 17 has a tilting inner barrel.
neat! well, i feel like tightening the innerbarrel to the outer is fairly standard
leaning toward the AAP01 thou, the aftermarket parts for it really excites me!

The SSG10 is VSR-10 based, but with a unique trigger box. It's a case of "why don't all triggers work like this?"
Silverback have gone their own way. I went for the TAC-41 because it has a TDC dial hop, larger magazines, quick-change spring, and I slightly prefer the ergonomics. However, the SSG10 really does make a good argument for itself if you prefer VSRs.
Thank you!
If the ergos are stock/furniture related then they aren't really an issue as I plan to make my own

I'd say quite the opposite. Having gone down the "upgrade" route on a VSR-ish base, I'd say that you'll end up paying more for a usable, reliable gun than if you just buy (e.g.) a Novritsch SSG10, or Silverback TAC-41. Sure, you can play with the VSR at various stages of "upgrade", but you'll always be wearing out sears and stoppers, hitting the limit of your hop, and chasing a smoother bolt pull. It's fun to do, but ultimately neither cheaper nor faster than just buying something that's genuinely usable out of the box.
5 hours ago, AK47frizzle said:I love sniping but for a different reason to most people. For me, the point of getting a sniper rifle is simply to outrange AEGs. I play the exact same aggressive, run-amok style as I would with an AEG but further away. It's fun because you get people trying to duel you 50m away and watch as their BBs drop before your feet, and you can still accurately pick them out no problem. But of course, stealth can be a fun option too.
Contrary to what everyone says, i'd recommend getting a "shoot-good-out-da-box" sniper rifle because not wasting time and effort on fiddling about with compatability parts is valuable, especially with the hop which can take forever to get right if you don't have a personal range (waiting every two weeks to test once on a game day, and have it not work as predicted is painful). The least expensive option seems to be the (yes really) novvy ssg stuff, then followed by the TAC41P at £372 from firesupport. Then everyone seems to praise the steyr scout at £400. At £400+ there's the SRS and the new B&T SPR300 which I plan to get a hold of soon. Probably some more out there.
But, it is up to you.
Are these VSR10 compatible or are all of them their own systems? -

You can. If you want to fixate the inner barrel in the outer barrel.
Or I misread your first post. Are you looking for a ”fixed slide”? A nbb?
Otherwise yes, fixed barrels are a thing even for glocks. Where you fixate the innerbarrel and hop to the outer barrel for improved accuracy
Dude.. I literally state in my post that I'm not looking for a NBB.
The inner barrel in a WE g17 gen4 moves back and forth inside the the outer barrel.
The solution is an AAP-01, as people recommended. -

There's a lot of cool down on full auto, it's a small mag and the fire rate is silly.
Ineffective in a skirmish? Sure. But silly? As oppose to grown people playing with toyguns^^?

LOL, great minds & all that👍.
Out of interest I saw you mention on an ad that your no longer UK, whereabouts are you located, & what's the Airsoft scene there ?
Sweden. Organized events tends to be a bunch of dudes in multicam with Systemas claiming they can hear the bbs bouncing of their kits but in reality they never notice when hit - same as everywhere I suppose 🤷🏻♀️
When I was active we used to just fill a couple of cars on the weekends and head for the forest or some abandoned site and do our thing. I don't like bureaucracy ^^
3 hours ago, Impulse said:Generally, buying an expensive TM VSR over a JG BAR10 or Cyma cm.701b isn't worth it as you're basically removing all the internals anyway, so why spend that extra £70 on a TM?
Having done multiple VSR builds, I would personally always go for the TM, even if I'm replacing everything inside. Part of it is that I think the G-Spec is the superior option over the regular rifle, and I don't think you can get a clone G-Spec rifle. The other part of it is the tiny fraction of a millimetre tolerances and slight quality of life differences. Firstly, the sling mounts on the JG are awful and I've had to loctite mine in. Secondly, not everything will fit perfectly in a clone rifle. I found that the 50rd Action Army magazines are very fussy with my JG BAR10 and I've found myself just running the regular 35rd TM magazines as the Action Army mags would sometimes have feeding issues, or they wouldn't click into place properly. That said, for 99% of people the clone ones are absolutely fine. I'm just very picky!
This answered the question
3 hours ago, Impulse said:Also, when it comes to "sniping", @Tackle is completely right in saying that fieldcraft and mindset is more important than your rifle. I've played the sniper role with (a lot of) bolt actions, DMRs and regular rifles, and very little changes in how I play. It's more about the stealth and picking your shots than having a 2.3J bolt action with an MED. Also, if you go the whole way into it, it's honestly more about observation than shooting; one of the best sniper games I've had involved me not firing a single shot all game, but I was concealed and constantly calling out enemy movements over the radio to some other guys on my team, so we always knew what the other team was doing. Even had a patrol of about 8 of them walk right in front of me and one crouched down about 50cm to my right. When it comes to actually shooting, the words of some German guys I used to play airsoft with in Spain will always resonate with me as I feel they encapsulated airsoft sniping so well in one simple sentence: "it's not how many you hit, but how you hit them."
You'll never (well, incredibly rarely to the point where it's a statistical anomaly) get as many hits in game using a bolt action rifle as you would with a regular AEG, but every hit you do get will feel so much better!
I do appreciate this but I am very aware of it also- see my forum stats and this reply
Either way it is more about adding VSR platform to my loadout than anything else ^^ and I do appreciate your help! -

In the meantime you can stabilize your inner barrel a bit by wrapping some tape around it, to sit tighter in the outer barrel.
I literally can't, as it's a moving part, hence why I want something with a fixed barrel.5 hours ago, Fatboy40 said:Improved accuracy, grouping of shots and ability to lift heavy BB's. The hop unit in the AAP-01 is way better than the stock WE EU17 one anyhow, but a better bucking makes a big difference (I run a Maple Leaf 60 degree silicon Autobot with 0.32g BB's, and the bucking gets them noticeably further and has a huge effect on grouping).
For full auto start with the hammer, it really need to be done otherwise it will fail. But to be honest full auto is a bit pointless, unless you're going HPA, with cool down etc (it's very snappy on semi out of the box and it's so easy to improve).
Thank you for explaining!
As for auto being pointless - we're shooting plastic bullets at each other. If there's is any point to it surely it is to have as much fun as possible, and for me atleast, fa gbb is plenty fun

the idea of opening a gearbox in the field T.T
57 minutes ago, Pseudotectonic said:@two_zero are you sure about 1.27mm? That is an imperial 0.05" hex key but I thought generally airsoft all use metric, I suspect it might be 1.5mm instead
I literally said that I am not sure - but it's not 1,5mm - how is that obscure?? That its imperial 0.05" is possible thou.

The aap is pretty good, fine in std form if you don't go full auto.
Better buckings are always a good idea.
Most of the noise is the nozzle and bolt hitting things
The more noise the better IMO for GBB
Why are better buckings a good idea? What should I upgrade before going auto? -
I often considered this.
G&G SSG-1 is an attempt to get there https://www.foxairsoft.com/airsoft-guns/electric-rifles-aeg/m4/g-g-ssg-1-usr-speedsoft-airsoft-gun/
I'd say you need a v3 gearbox (common but much more robust than v2).
Translucent mid cap mags, compatible with existing mags, probably mp5 as they (an ak mag pouch can hold 1 * ak mag, 2 * m4 mags or 3 * mp5 mags).
I'd also go bullpup so that you can get a full barrel into a subcompact aeg.
might even channel the BBs from in front of the grip like on the conventional platforms to the rear.
Might even have an internal magazine big enough to last a match, maybe that can be reloaded or extended with external mags. Maybe several internal tubes in either parallel or in a revolving setup.
Safety trigger, possibly also an external safety, but one that can be locked in unsafe (way too many times someone has handed back an airsoft to me in safe so I've been killed in the field because the gun wouldnt shoot)
Selector switch possibly ak layout, bumped the m4 one by accident way too many times.
If it used external magazines, side feed would be awesome, meaning you could lay down without having to switch to short mags.
Ok, so just brainstorming: what if it had parallel gearbox n barrels, meaning you could, with the selector deciding which one, meaning you can have DMR fps when on semi?
I guess I should say quad rails, but I also feel like that goes without saying.
I'll probably add to this later^^ -
There's like a super specific allenkey size (I want to say 1,27mm, but I am probably off) used in MP5 or MP5k, you might want to see if there's anything like that for your MP7.
I'd say electrical tape and cable ties but they've already been said

why is this in general rather than off-topic btw?

No rail but some creativity could add one.
Certainly it can be made accurate, at least as far as anything airsoft can be.
It's has been on my mind. It does seem solid af. But yea, the rail is an issue. -

Replace the hammer, even the second gen one, with...
https://www.empireairsoft.co.uk/aap01-tm-g18c-cnc-steel-hammer.html
... and you'll get no mechanical faults (the Cow Cow hammer set can be temperamental). Swap in a Autobot or Flamingo bucking and you'll hop BB's over 0.30g with no issues, change to a Hadron Loki and you'll hop 0.40g or higher.
It's not a silent sidearm but massively better than a WE EU17 Gen4 (accuracy, gas efficiency) and you can use your Gen4 mags
My son and I use them as our side arms, however the 1st gen hammer did fail on mine...
I assume usp nbb is still the go-to practical/silent? I got one laying around, but I feel like the whole joy, for me, with gas is making some noise and feeling a bit of a kick

Hey mate, didn't immediately recognise your username so thought you were a noob, shock horror when I checked your profile & see your more akin to a Chelsea pensioner in forum years lol😜.
Jokes aside, getting in to sniping is a big step, your mindset & fieldcraft is just as important as your gun, maybe more so.
Whats been your playing style up to now, & types of gun you favour ?, I ask as when players have previously mentioned getting in to the sniper role, I'll usually recommend trying a hybrid role first, think a single shot dmr role using their longest most accurate gun & focusing on the fieldcraft (& patience) aspects, no point in shelling out good money on a rifle & possible upgrades if after 5 minutes of concealment or crawling, you want to run towards the firefights.
LMAOOO
na for reals thou I tend to recommend people to start off with a cm16 (are those still a thing?) with a scope and short mag, run it semi and wait between every shot and see how they enjoy it - if they love this style, grab a sniper and you still got an awesome spare/loaner/variety/backup.
that said - its time for me to add a bolt action to my loadout

Action Army AAP-01 basically.

Edit: yes I know sniping isn't for everyone, I've been at it for a while
Never had an airsoft sniper, I kinda of want one. Just want to check if I am going about it the right way thou.
Since they tend to end up just being a mishmash of aftermarket party, I feel like buying a "premium brand" might be a bit of a waste of money? I am thinking of going the path of getting a VSR-10 clone*. I already plan to swap the barrel for a shorter one, the hop obviously, as well as having a DIY stock eventually.
So yea, any feedback on this plan?
* Taiwangun** recommended this one for me, any reason I should prefer a JG BAR10? https://www.taiwangun.com/sniper-rifle-spring/mb03ae-upgraded-version-520-fps-black-well
**is this still the preferred shop for EU residents?

Not been following along what's happening in airsoft the last few years so I am kinda lost. Currently running a WE g17 gen4, and while it is plenty fun, because the inner barrel is floating inside the outer barrel that is tilting, I can not achieve the level of accuracy that I would like.
Any suggestions for alternatives?
Requirements:- Fixed barrel.
- Blow back.- Available spares/aftermarket parts.
- Either come with bottom rails, or there being an alternative way to attach a torch.
Big bonus if it also runs somewhat reliably in cold weather
Thank you all!! -
Hello all!
I wondered if there's any airsoft systems on the market that uses cartridges or shells, like the ones used in 40mm launcher, but smaller?
Thank you all in advance

Helped a friend mount a glock AEP on a drone once , basically mounted it upside down with the pistol grip cut off , a short length of loading tube epoxy’ed to the feed slot of the barrel and used a fruit shoot bottle cut down as the feed hopper . It was a big ass professional grade drone mind .
I was actaully thinking of the G18 AEP, and the tube makes a lot of sense considering the magazine as been my main concern about this idea.. maybe use an old school speedloader.
10 hours ago, AK47frizzle said:AEP gearbox? Gearboxes are bloody heavy so you'd prolly need a plastic one tbh. The best option is probably getting someone to design in CAD and 3D printing a custom frame and feeding system to the plane (hint hint, maybe pay me? :))))))))
Then again, that kind of thing might get you potentially arrested AHAHA
I live in Sweden - is there anything that can't potentially get me aressted?
Well, got a printer at work.. and some really good product designers.. even thou they probably sick of me pestering them by now lmao. Not sure how well a 3d printed gearbox would work/hold up thou?

Honestly, at this point I only just got a small plane, not been able to messure how much weight it can take yet. But might get some more exciting stuff in the future :) -
Long time no see!!
Getting into radio controlled aviation as of now and to my great surprise I cant seem to find any AEG made for RC planes.. I've found some pictures of people who chopped up those 30~ quid hopper feed things but it does seem like less than optimal.
Any ideas or suggestions? :) -
