Hi, I push and hold the nozzle back a short way , to hold the plate back and clear of the shims, as I'm putting the cover back on, then once a couple of the cover  screws are in place, you can release the nozzle..
You need 4 hands!

Hi, 
I'd second that advice, I have a specna M4, with a few basic mods, hop up, rubber, nozzle, cylinder. I was struggling to get to a good FPS level- with the stock spring I was way under but with a 95 spring I was over!!  The chrono guy advised firing off a load of rounds and it stabilized just under the limit 👍

Airsoft…what a great excuse  to spend quality time with your kids. I got mine his first rif at 14. He’s 30 now!

No wonder hes beating you he could probably give John Wick a run for his money.  Thanks for the turn and shoot idea I'll add it to the list

I've done a few drills with my son- found the proper drills on YouTube, then tried to replicate them using things in the garden!
He's much better than me!!

There is no such thing as ‘stolen valor/valour’ in the UK
There is ‘walting’

 
((There are parts of the Armed Forces Act that cover using uniforms to impersonate the services, and fraud legislation for the undercurrent of what someone is up to - eg conning people))
 
You get the ‘out rage’ clubs and walt hunting hobbiests, but they may be looked on as more sad than some of the ‘walts’ they hunt down.  (Eg local care in the community individual that likes to wear a beret being hunted down and ‘exposed’ by keyboard warriors 

Any ‘normal’ service person or ex service person doesn’t care about people who dress up to play games (actually they care about the ones who pay extra on eBay for their kit)
They do care about people who are bigging themselves up as someone they aren’t, or are conning with fake ‘hero’ charities (or ‘real’ hero charities with excessive ‘admin expenses’)
 
As far as airsoft is concerned if you aren’t allowed to wear patches then why to you need RIFs?  The entire justification to add an extra skirmisher defence by statutory instrument above the explicit defences in the core VCRA legislation is for the realistic immersion.
Dressing up has been recognised as a core element to airsoft.  Take that away to a bare uniform without patch’s and you can just use a coloured IF
 
 
Don’t be a dickhead and pretend that you are something that you aren’t 
Do dress up with good ‘fancy dress’ if that’s what you like to do
Don’t make yourself a personal security risk *
 
* our paintball team logo is based on a genuine US unit.  One of our founder members is a former Royal Marine and our original clothing came from a company who does unit clothing.  If you don’t look at the detail it looked like a unit t shirt etc.
I warned off a team mate on the way to a game.  We stopped off at a garage, and he walked back out in ‘unit style’ t shirt, DPM trousers, boots, with short haircut, newspaper tucked under his arm, coffee in hand …… coming out of a garage at a garrison town.
Perfect fodder for an opportunist.  
Even for someone who is going to pick someone to monitor and watch the individual and their car, follow them the next morning driving onto a military base - a ‘confirmed’ valid target with little awareness 
A soldier ought to be briefed on current alert states,  any local risks and being aware of their surroundings.
A bloke out for a sunday game has no idea what current risks are to service personnel and has little awareness 
 
 
Only if you’re prepared to buy my lunch when I trump your cadet corporal rank slide with my DCGS challenge coin 

On a sensible note - I’d recommend that anyone who wears uniform for a real purpose doesn’t go out playing in their work uniform, unless you have plenty of sets.  Just more washing to get yourself back to standard after playing in the woods
 
(Of course combat uniform is meant to get battered and dirty - but you try saying that when you walk into barracks or the cadet hut in a dirty crumpled uniform)

This is my planned loadout for Sunday. 
 
Nice and simple, Arktis chest rig with my magazines, Safariland for the Glock. Will be the first run out of my NGRS Mk18 too!
 
Only things I might add are some belt mounted pistol pouches and an LBX sling if it arrives in time. 

Just to rule it out- if you connect everything up but don't fire, is there any heating?
Could be a wiring short, or wire rubbed through and touching on something rather than a mechanical problem?
 

i really wanted to lead this with a gif of trump denying global warming, but my google-fu has failed me. 
 
Bio bb's are generally fine, been using them on and off for years.  you just need to be more mindfull of storage  Dump them in a cold damp shed/garage you might get issues, keep them in the house warm and dry? then they will last (possibly not as long as the non bio ones, but at that point, why buy so many if its going to take so long to use them?).
 
Any reliability issues they suffer are no different from the non bio bb's, you get good ones, bad ones and sometimes bad batches within the good ones, as mentioned with my experience with asg open blasters.
 
When it comes to environmentally friendly, i doubt you have personally studied the rate to decomposition.  Which is fair as thats anything between 2 to 4 years. my source? the back of a bag of G&G bios:
 

 
having played with both bio and nonbio (one site i go to only allows bio) there is no performance difference i have seen.  modern ones are definately not the bio bb's of old, which did have so many issues.  i am always suprised when woodland sites dont insist on bios, there must be already a good layer made up of millions plastic balls on that ground and its only going to get thicker.
 
 
 
 
 

AND phase two complete ! 😁
 

Finally got around to chopping the barrel and fitting the new flash hider. 
 
Definitely a lot more usable in close quarters now!

Hi, photos attached- just as described above really, small AA battery holder with switch, wired to the fan, glued two tubes which go to your goggles ( just make a small hole in the rubber each side and Push the tube in. The black fabric section is a holder for batteries for night vision or counterweight I think- again eBay or Amazon for a few quid...

MP5 won't fire?
Procedure: sling it behind, draw Glock and engage threat,
When behind cover, working parts to the rear, swear at it, throw away and get G36!!!
 
(Sorry couldent help it)!!!
 
 
 
 
 

Yeah but I really can't understand that. What's not to like?
 
For myself I pay my money,get dressed up go along have a great time,chat,drink some coffee and maybe get a few hits during the day which is a bonus. 
 
I'm under no illusions as to my abilities. I may as well have a flashing beacon on my head because my prowess at concealment is sadly lacking. I can't lay down( I would probably have a sleep if I did),kneeling is a pain and there are very few trees wide enough or my shape as to provide cover lol.
 
But I'm not there to win prizes for fashion or form. It's because I like it. 👍
 
Regards 

Heck yea can they make that a rule where people are only allowed so long in safe area unless injured or damaged gun as you end up with half the team missing else for most of day.

I made up a DIY version- printer type fan and battery box that takes aa's from eBay. Works well, but when mounted on a helmet, you can hear it I tend to switch it on if fogging starts, then off when not needed. I'll post some photos and links to the bits when I get home. Total cost about £10, the most expensive but was a velcro helmet battery box to put it in..
