THE CHIEF

Ha! I would assume the training is still the same with people practicing a log roll if absolutely necessary. Basic first aid kit for game days with a couple of personal augmentations. Like some Mr Bump plasters for people particularly being a pussy.

I'll double down and say it's viable in the woods. I'll give anyone a game with a trishot.

I run a WE M16 with 20rnd mags. It's a good little rifle and a lot of fun. If anything goes wrong then parts are cheap and plentiful. Most problems occur when people "upgrade" it. One part is suddenly much harder so something else needs replacing, and them something else and so on... The M16 is probably as unreliable as gbbrs get if you read the comments. But I have founds it's fine apart from one broken nozzle due to excessive full auto during an oh shit moment. A lot of information is parroted along the lines oh "I've heard but never actually used one". Is it an MWS? Hell no. Is it a lot of fun? Hell yes! The KWA skorpion is also great fun for something different.

that should give you all the info you need

If I am hit and walk off dead, but leave a machine gun in place that's an invite to jump on it and have fun until I return. If you lend out kit and it gets broken that's something you should be prepared for, within reason obviously. Work with the rentals, they are there just for a good time and will be happy to run into a wall of fire over and over again.

Maybe a proper styre tmp?

I must have got lucky with mine then as it shoots like a TM. What's the opposite of a Friday afternoon special??? Might be a try before you buy gun then with poor consistency between individual pistols.

I swear by the KWC/cybergun 100th anniversary edition. Has the great kick of CO2 but chrono's at 300fps. Now I must say I like the old school 1911 and series 70 types. I have a TM but the KWC keeps creeping into the shoulder holster because it's usually a short range weapon for me and a loud bang send people running. Think about how you will use it. No point it paying for a super pistol that will send rounds out a hundred meters if you pull your pistol and 10 meters or less. The only ball ache is most people require you to Chrono with a fresh bulb so it can be wasteful if you don't empty the mag at a game.

On the odd occasion I take out mine I connect it to the HPA tank but not the battery. Rotate the barrels by hand to chamber one BB and fire. Rotate to next barrel and shoot. No battery, no spinny spin spin.

Top job!

It's annoyingly blurred. It has G26 mil-spec 9x19 on the slide. The slide is plastic.

Hello peeps, I wonder if anyone can help. I have a mystery Glock 26 of unknown vintage I got off a friend. The top slide is cracked and needs replacing but I have no idea who its made by or if its a clone of a clone of a clone. Could be made anytime on the last 20 years. No apparent hop unit, no ASGUK branding I can find. I have attached a couple of pics. I don't know if its worth repairing really but my Mrs is rather taken with it and that's to be keenly encouraged! Even if she is wrong and should use a 1911 like a civilized person. Cheers

I'm waiting for the fixed carry handle MWS! I can't believe they tooled up the 20rnd magazine and didn't follow up with car15 or early m16. Plus they have the AKM for the bad guys to use.

The most interesting thing about it to me is the detachable magazine.

Sorry to say the spas is also obscure and obsolete these days. However... I would argue that any of the listed weapons would be collected and used. Especially in Japan. I bet a BREN and owens would sell well in America.

Top of my head... a BREN gun, HK21, Owens gun, lewis gun, swedish K, M60E3 long and short... Maybe based on the Cam870 an Ithaca M37 or spas 12 Based on the trishot AEG a usas12 I know some have been done based on old technology like the TOP M60 or KTW M37. But they are not practical skirmish weapons. There's so many that haven't been touched.

I don't think airsoft is running out of steam. I think the manufacturers are. Each year it's what new M4's are they producing. If no one ever made another armalite there would be enough to go around for years to come. Maybe release the new latest furniture every now and then to fit the existing M4's. I wouldn't mind if there was real innovation but so much is the same gun and gearbox over and over again. I'm thinking back to 2003ish when classic army exploded with a range of AK74's, G36's, Aug's, G3's, M249's, SR25's TM were knocking out Sig 552's, M14's, M733's (an overhaul of the basic tooling) a revamped GBB system for pistols. Chinese clones were cheap as chips and even they showed innovation and new models. I think one of the first HK416's was a JG. I'd take a thundermaul over yet another MK18 any day. Given the primary reason for airsoft guns was to get hold of accurate replicas of firearms I would like to see more variety from the manufacturers. It's all got a bit stale for me. I'm happy to keep playing and buying but there's not as much that excites me these days AEG wise.

Man, I haven't worked that out since ascuk, ukan and ukaz was a thing

I often wonder if shops would refuse to two tone some items, or try and talk them out of it. But I suppose money is money.

In the hope that you take away some useful information forget the RIF's. If you want to push a useful Airsoft video why don't you focus on eye pro, rifle cases ect. You can have the £900 Uber leet hi capa that you have dressed up to look like a cheap two tone, but plenty of people do that.

To be fair it was working well until it failed, never skipped a beat. Then it jammed giving the real immersive nam experience. I need to figure out what is happening and why it won't fully go into battery. I think the next step is remove the hop unit and barrel and try the fit of the bolt carrier outside of the gun.

Still having problems with the VN. To recap. Whilst shooting in a game a round got jammed under the hop rubber between the two halves. The loading arm at the end of the nozzle snapped sonit would no longer collect a round fro the magazine. Replacent nozzle ordered and fitted. Hop unit removed and all debris removed. All fitted back together and it just won't go into battery properly. It's about 1mm too far back. Now I have since realised that it is fitted with an angry gun steel bolt carrier and was fitted with an angry gun nozzle. (Purchased second hand so didn't know the difference) The we nozzle is a little tight inside the bolt carrier. Are the two cross compatible?

Personal choice. I'm looking at an LCT rpd. I would be devastated if I spent over £1000 on a gun and it never got played with. But that's because I WANT to play with it. Basically it comes down to how pissed off would you be if you damaged it. And can you get parts if you do.

Buy some good boots, and break them in before you go running around all day. Get some good eye pro and remember it is a consumable. Something that takes replacement lenses is best. Ignore Mr "PUSH UP!!! COME ON!!!" I have only ever heard him from behind somewhere. Most people love to show off their guns. If you want to have a look just ask. I normally give out the M60 to rentals to have a go with. Communication wins more games than big guns. Don't be afraid to walk over to a table and start talking in the safe zone. That table of freaks? That's normally the fun people who don't care if they get a kill all day and some how are wrecking machines. The guy with the 2k AEG is normally the first guy to pack up if it looks like rain. And just sound advice... Once you are a bit seasoned try and help out the rental guys. Either call follow me or ask where are we going. They will carry you to victory when you realize you are too old to move after 2:30pm 😇

I remember tech brigade ran pistol and pump games about lunch time years ago. No help now though. I would be happy to play one of those games. I would also allow an AEG m249 with a 100-200rnd mid cap in the side as the realistic support role.
