afternoon all,
I'm a member of the committee running a 20 to 30-strong airsoft society at a certain uni somewhere in the Midlands. we're hoping to run a CQB event next month and we're torn between two sites - Hells Airsoft and The Department.
I like the look of Hells, especially given that its shanty town layout looks really interesting, especially for our newer players. however, an earlier site review on AF-UK stated a few issues - namely with flanking, stalemates and excessive dust from the rubber flooring.
can anyone shed any light on these issues please? I'd personally prefer Hells, but if these issues haven't been solved then perhaps The Department would be a better bet.
cheers

UPDATE: Turns out I was mistaken, I've been running the gun on 144A as intended by TM, inspected the pistol and there's no wear on any components and the fault has corrected itself...?

Good evening,
Went to clean and lube my TM XDM after yesterday's game day and found two (presumably linked?) issues. At first, pulling the trigger had no effect, in that the hammer wouldn't fire when the trigger was pulled. This eventually corrected itself. Fine, I thought, so I inserted a mag, only for the gas to vent as soon as the mag was inserted. Weird. Tried it with my other two mags and it happened again.
The pistol was bought brand new in June, has been used during about eight or nine skirmishes. I use green gas and various brands of .25s. The pistol has been regularly cleaned and relubed.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I would also try to sell it at your next game day you'll loose less money face to face. online for a two tone £60/£70 most likely. As others have said stick it up for 110 and be prepared to be low balled.
hadn't thought of that! I'm heading to the MAW in Melton Mowbray a week Sunday, so that might be a good opportunity...

FWIW you could totally cancel/return the order if you haven't opened the box yet.
sadly not - I rang Patrol Base and they won't do it, as they've had to two-tone the gun.

Its unlikely you'll get the same money for it. After all why would someone buy 'new' second hand when they could get new with warranty for same price.
Maybe take £10 off and put it on classifieds to see if anyone bites.
Postage and PayPal fees will take a chunk out of the price.
If you can remove the paint properly then you'll have more chance of selling for around that price.
tbh I genuinely thought the value would drop catastrophically, so that doesn't sound too bad.
can you recommend a good way of removing the paint without melting the plastic?

Impulse bought myself a pew pew before deciding I wanted to renew my UKARA. Couldn't cancel the order, and I'm looking to lose as little money as possible...
Soooo, what could I get for a brand new JG G36C? Standard variant with handguard, stock and magwell in two-tone blue. Will include 9.6 NiMH battery and 470rd hicap mag. Will have never been fired.
Paid £120 from Patrol Base.

it's my turn! I want a go!
started out in my family's runabout - '09 Toyota Yaris with the 1.0 Aygo engine. very practical and sipped fuel, but had less pulling power than a bluebottle fly.
as you'll see, I'm a sucker for cheap black VWs.
bought myself an '05 Golf TDI for cheap, cleaned it up, changed the coil springs and drop links, and sold it for double what I paid for it.
currently on Polly, my '06 Polo 12V. bought her for cheap as an MOT failure, fixed and cleaned her up, now looking to do a few upgrades - 16" alloys, nicer steering wheel, dent delete, scratch delete...
would love a Mk6 Golf TSI/TDI in the future.

If this is in the wrong place, please let me know and I'll move it.
I'm planning on buying a bog-standard G36C as my new main arm, with the intention of making it a bit more..."tactical". New stock, STANAG magwell adapter, railed handguard, that sort of thing.
I'm torn between the JG G36C (https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/jing-gong-g608-ar36-railed-handle-w-folding-stock?pv=5357) and the more expensive, but much nicer, G&G G36C (https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/g-and-g-armament-ar36-assault-rifle?pv=5647), and currently deciding between the two.
The JG seems like the more cost-effective option - I know that they're reliable and durable, hence they're often used as site rental guns, and I know that mag compatibility and parts compatibility won't be an issue. However, I'm worried that it'll feel a bit more toy-like, and I don't know what the longevity will be like.
The G&G is a big step up in terms of build quality and materials quality, the performance looks a lot more consistent without internal upgrades, and generally seems like the more solid rifle. I am, however, concerned about parts compatibility - I want to fit a JG rail system and magwell adapter, and I don't know if these would work or fit with the G&G rifle.
Any advice on/experience with these two guns and mods would be very helpful!

I, like most people, started off with hicaps - I had three 500rd mags for my Cyma AK74. I was very much a spray-and-pray airsofter back then, so I liked the fact that I could carry 1500 rounds at once, having not spent much money on mags or mag pouches. The trouble is, they remove some of the realism of airsoft, and of course there's that sodding rattling noise that you get if you so much as scratch a bollock.
I've since kicked over to midcaps and I've never looked back. I love the realism (sort of) of having limited ammunition and having to reload, I love the tactical advantage of quieter movement, and my wallet loves the fact that I now spend less on BBs.

Hi all,
After not playing for years, I've decided to get back into the sport. I've been looking around for a project gun to sink my teeth into - I got lucky as an old mate sold me a TM MP5K which needed cleaning and regreasing. However, he also threw in a full upper from an M4.
I'm planning to use it as the base for a Polish GROM-style M4A3 platform. I want to know the brand of the upper assembly, but there are no trademarks present. It's just a full metal upper receiver and railed handguard from a CQBR-style M4.
Is there any way of determining the brand of this receiver?
Rare Polish wz.93 plate carrier

Looking to sell my 8Fields plate carrier in the rare Polish woodland wz.93 'Pantera' camo pattern.
Imported from Warsaw, as far as I know you can't get it in the UK without spending X amount at Gunfire.pl.
Selling as I no longer play airsoft. Anyone know what it might be worth?
