Thanks for your replies so far. Interesting that someone mentioned the AAP01 as that's one of the few other pistols I'd consider as they appear rather nice and have heard a multitude of good things regarding them so that's an option too.

I've been eyeing up a gas 1911 or Deagle for a while just for something a bit different to use at outdoor skirmishes and as a useful sidearm/backup. Not having had prior experience of gas guns I'm looking for some pointers... -Budget <£130 -1911 or Desert Eagle -Mags readily available Not fussed whether blowback or not, semi only or full auto, rails, metal or plastic etc so open to a wide range of options. Looking around the brands at this price range seem to be Raven, WE Europe, HFC, Evolution Airsoft and Cybergun. Any brands or models recommended or to avoid? Did consider an AEP but put off by sluggish performance and patchy availability or mags. Thanks in advance, Eezer G

Been a while due to madness at work, on call every bloody weekend so no airsoft since January. However... finally the armour is finished. During last week's fine weather, Plastikoted the whole lot before painting in Halfords OD and then sealing with PU Lacquer. I'm happy with the results. Just need to skirmish it now, when I get a free weekend. Also touched up the coat on my rifles and lacquered them for protection, I like the shine its given them. When I get a chance, I'll post a full pic of my loadout. Eezer G

I do like a traditional styled M4 with carry handle and a handguard with covers on rather than exposed rails everywhere. @PinkGunloving that collection. I want to do a gun wall but Mrs Eezer won't allow it. Bad for the Feng Shui, or gives the wrong impression to the neighbours, or she doesn't want the house resembling a Ukranian defence bunker, or some keech like that. Might do it in the garage then...

What a load of keech. I mean, if someone is enough of a fknugget to blow well over 1k on any of these toy guns, they're welcome to it and quite frankly deserve to be robbed.

That's a smart collection that. The SLR is my favourite there.

Yes I clocked the other ads too. Spiv.

Why no furniture? It's like selling a car without doors. I.e. no fecking use. New game to play on this thread:- Walt, Charlatan or Spiv? I call Spiv on this one.

Interested to see the comment regarding "only" 315fps. That's slap bang in the middle of a normal AEG performance and IMO perfectly reasonable, I wouldn't say "gutless". Careful not to make the mistake of trying to maximise FPS on .2s only. Personally I'd tune the gun to whatever weight of ammo you are using rather than just on .2s as otherwise results can be erratic. Use a joule graph and work out your target from that... although I'd concentrate more on achieving a consistent hop, as that's what will get you your range and consistent accuracy, rather than chasing fps limits.

I don't get Harleys either. Uncool Japanese low-capacity bikes for me. Now THAT'S funny... and bound to wind up a few folk here!

Well, the only way of knowing if it's any good or not is to take it to your site (or similar) and try it out. I wouldn't worry about what it looks like or too much of this or that. If it keeps you hidden then it works.

I'm not sure how we're supposed to respond to this "post". I mean... the title is nondescript, there's a bunch of screenshots from a website, no accompanying prose or questions etc. So I'm left thinking "Yes, and???". Noticed a few of these type of posts cropping up recently. I strongly suspect spam or some dodgy sellers looking to up their post count before advertising some ridiculously overpriced tat which will end up being deservedly mercilessly mocked on Mack's Airsoft Walts, Charlatans and Spivs thread. Or maybe folk are just thick and don't understand normal civilised conversation.

Be prepared to get a million and one answers... Depends on the play (indoor/outdoor) and what gnoos you are using. Generally speaking outdoors with most average AEGs 0.25g or 0.28g is recommended. I use Nuprol Bio .25s as they are cheap, work very well in my AEGs and my outdoor site mandates bio. Others prefer Vorsk, Ares Amoeba, ASG, Evolution, ad nauseum, your mileage may vary.

Nice. I want one already. Bullpups rool, especially sci fi ones. Had a shot of a Keltec RDB last weekend, one of the regulars at my site was using one. Lovely gnoo.

Buy an L85 and wear MTP.

Nail on head as always @Rogerborg.

Last Sunday's loadout. LT 933, 2x hicaps, no chest rig or secondary. Nice and lightweight.

Same here, all packed tonight for first game of 22. Running light; M4, couple of hicaps, no secondary or rig/armour/tat etc. Forecast looks reasonable, 5C, lightish winds, no precip. Happy days.

Somebody punch him out!

Great post @Tommikka. Sums it all up very well. I still prefer talking/yelling however.

...only kidding!

The walts aren't half out and about eh. Is there summat in the water? Is it an undiscovered side affect of covid or the vaccines? Overpriced, over the limit (I.e. illegal), nae thanks.

There's a wide range of basic small PMR units that can be had for cheap, most are easy to program and should be perfectly usable unless you're skirmishing over several kilometres or in very hilly terrain. Just make sure everyone's on the same frequency etc...

The only thing high ROFers are doing is burning through BBs. If it just turns into a spam fest of a wall of plastic then it's not much fun. I'm lucky if I get 10rps on my basic gnooz. And that's just fine for me.
